ffxiv FFXIV - Yoshi-P Shared Details About Planned Updates and Changes!

After five years, Vieras are still not able to wear hats, and players are frustrated about it!
With the release of Dawntrail, a new race has been added: the female Hrothgar. While players were thrilled that this race was finally available, there is still one thing missing: the ability for Hrothgar and Viera to wear the hairstyle and hat of their choice and not be limited to basic options, or sometimes no options at all.
Many players have been making fun of this situation since entering the Dawntrail expansion, as shown in the following Reddit posts:
Posted by RoninK_OW:
"Entering Dawntrail as Viera, knowing I'm only gonna be able to wear 4 of the 20+ new hats..." The topic was also already brought up several months before the release of Dawntrail, as seen in this Reddit post by DrForester:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, the one hat that Viera and Hrothgar will be getting in 7.0" While the community had hoped to be able to wear their favorite headwear during this long-awaited vacation, it appears that the Viera have once again been forgotten. However, players are optimistic that 8.0 will allow them to finally wear their favorite haircut and hat. Since Yoshi-P has stated that no more races will be introduced to the game in the near future, perhaps the team will have time to make holes for the bunnies' ears!
To the Vieras and Hrothgar out there, what is your favorite hairstyle or hat you would like to see your Warrior of Light wear?

Our FFXIV writer Shikhu has updated his two comprehensive melding guides for Dawntrail crafters and gatherers! Here is everything you need to know!
For all the crafters and gatherers out there, our Final Fantasy XIV writer Shikhu has updated his two extensive guides, designed to help you with all your crafting and gathering melds. So let's get right into it!
Crafting Endgame Melding Guide
This guide is filled with plenty of information, carefully curated to help Disciples of the Hand understand the process of melding. With expert stat priority recommendations, you will be able to optimize your gear and make sure that every hammer swing and needle thread counts!
Gathering Endgame Melding Guide
Our gathering endgame guide for Disciples of the Land provides an in-depth look into resource collection. Learn how to successfully meld your gear and become Eorzea's most efficient harvester, miner, or fisher!

Both guides are packed with detailed information, easy-to-follow instructions, and tips from seasoned players, making them extremely useful resources for both newcomers and veteran players aiming to be on top of their professions.
It is important to note that the DoH sets will include rotations for savage gear upon release, and DoL can be used right now to gather the materials needed for that savage gear, or simply to farm your collectables.

To celebrate the launch of Dawntrail, Final Fantasy XIV is collaborating with Twitch to provide some amazing in-game items to players, including the famous Chocorpokkur mount! Let's go over everything you need to know!
Final Fantasy XIV's Twitch campaign is starting today, Tuesday, July 2, 2024, at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) until Monday, July 29, 2024, at 1:00 a.m. (PDT).
To participate, you have to watch any channel that streams Final Fantasy XIV Online and has the "viewer rewards" tag. You will then receive item codes for the following rewards based on the amount of hours watched:
1 Hour Watched: EXP Boost Meal Set (Buttery Mogbiscuit & Fat Choco Choco) x10 3 Hours Watched: Aetheryte Ticket x10 6 Hours Watched: Chocorpokkur Whistle (Mount) x1
How to Participate:
Log in to your Twitch account, or create an account if you don't have one yet Watch one of the participating Twitch channels streaming Final Fantasy XIV Online with the "Viewer Rewards" tag If you are streaming, make sure you have enabled the Final Fantasy XIV Online campaign found in the Open Reward Campaign (inside Creator Dashboard > Rewards). Item code rewards will be earned once the required hours have been watched. Each item code will be delivered via Twitch system notifications. Streams played in the background or via inactive tabs won't count towards the hours watched criteria. How to Redeem Your Item Codes:
Log into the Final Fantasy XIV: Mog Station with your Square Enix account. Under "Registration Codes" select "Enter Item Code," then follow the on-screen instructions to redeem your codes. Please make sure you select the appropriate service account and character, as you will not get another code if you take the wrong account!

Reward items will be distributed to a single character of your choice on a selected service account. Item codes can only be redeemed once. It may be possible to obtain these items via other means in the future. If your service account is not active right now, or you are on a free trial, you can keep the code and register it later on.
