Final Fantasy XIV’s Dragon Quest Crossover Event Is Back With the King Slime Crown

Final Fantasy XIV has brought back its Dragon Quest crossover event, giving players another shot at the same questline and rewards from past runs. This is the event’s sixth appearance, following previous returns in 2014, 2017, 2020, 2021, and 2024.

The main draw, as usual, is the King Slime Crown, a goofy headpiece known less for subtle fashion and more for its very noticeable wobble. Players can also earn the Thug’s Mug, a Golem minion, and Adventurer Plate and Portrait elements.

To start the event, players need to head to Ul’dah and speak with Havak Alvak. The related FATEs, “Brick by Stone Brick” and “Brick by Gold Brick,” take place across Central Thanalan, Lower La Noscea, Upper La Noscea, Central Shroud, and North Shroud.

Square Enix notes on the official event page that this is the same Dragon Quest event as before, with the same quests and prizes. If you previously suspended the quest in your Journal, you can resume from where you left off. You just can’t claim duplicate rewards by replaying it.

The event lands as Final Fantasy XIV continues through its 7.5 patch series, with more Dawntrail wrap-up content still on the way, including the remaining Hildibrand quests and updates tied to Occult Crescent.
