How to Complete 2025 Hatching-tide Event in FFXIV
Virtually all seasonal events inFinal Fantasy 14kick off with a special quest, typically found in one of the game’s three major cities.
In the case of the 2025 Hatching-tide event, you’ll need to head toMih Khetto’s Amphitheatrein Old Gridania. Once there, look for an NPC namedJihli Aliapohat (X:10.2, Y:9.4), who serves as your starting point. Speak to her to pick up the’In Pursuit of Eggcellence’Level 15 quest.
Follow the quest’s objectives by first going to speak to the Burly Merchant at the market area inOld Gridania. Next, go and speak to Geva at the Leatherworkers' Guild (X:12.6, Y:7.9) in the same area. Then, head to the Carpenter’s Guild (X:10.3, Y:12.3) over in New Gridania and speak to its guildmaster named Beatin. Give him the assorted timber and then leave to find Nonotta standing near Maisenta’s Black Rabbit Traders stall (X:11.4, Y:11.3).
Now return to Jihli Aliapoh at Mih Khetto’s Amphitheatre to turn in the quest. She’ll follow up with one more quest called ‘Eggceeding Expectations’, so pick it up. Have Jihli accompany you back to the market area in Old Gridania and speak to the three marked NPCs there about the idea of egg-shaped parasols for the celebration. Once done, speak to Jihli one-on-one at the entrance to the market.
Finally, return one last time to Mih Ketto’s Amphitheatre and finish the quest with Jihli to receive a special reward for your efforts.
