Patch 5.55 Notes | FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone (2024)

Patch 5.55 brings a multitude of additions and refinements to the realm, including the fourth installment of Save the Queen and a new Bozjan battlefield─Zadnor.

* Updated Tuesday, 1 June 2021 at 8:00 (GMT) / 9:00 (BST)

Patch 5.55 contains content that can only be accessed by registering the expansion packs for FINAL FANTASY XIV to your service account. To distinguish between adjustments that are and are not affected by the registration of these expansions, the following notations will be used throughout the patch notes:

* The quest "A Ruined Opportunity" is a repeatable quest that may only be accepted once per week. Availability of this quest is reset every Tuesday at 1:00 a.m. (PDT). Please note that 2,000,000 mettle is still required even when repeating this quest.

The final quest of each chapter must be completed before it can be unlocked.

A new UI widget has been added for the electric guitar with the following options:
* A mouse can be used to select tones directly from the UI.
* Keyboard keybinds can also be used to select tones.

* Updated Tuesday, 26 May 2021 at 5:00 (GMT) / 6:00 (BST)

Moreover, players can now obtain this item in exchange for totems by speaking with C'intana in Mor Dhona (X:22.7 Y:6.7).

Like the Bozjan southern front, Zadnor is a new instanced encounter wherein players assist the Bozjan Resistance in their continued effort to reclaim their homeland from the IVth Imperial Legion.

Read on and learn how you can play a part in the final chapter of the Bozjans' fight for freedom.

The duty-specific rules and features of Zadnor are the same as those found on the Bozjan southern front.

Learn more about the Bozjan southern front.

Players who have reached the maximum Resistance rank can receive honors to further increase their strength when undertaking duties in Save the Queen areas.

After reaching Resistance rank 25 and completing the quest "???," speak with the Resistance councilor in Zadnor (X:35.7 Y:34.9).

After amassing sufficient mettle, players can speak with the Resistance councilor to receive proofs of mettle. These may then be exchanged for three varieties of Resistance honors: Suns of Fortitude, Suns of Valor, or Suns of Succor.

The number of proofs in your possession can be confirmed at any time via the HUD.

Up to ten of each honor can be held at any time. The more of these honors in your possession, the greater their effect.

Players will be able to enhance the strength of their Resistance weapons by completing this quest.

Resistance weapons can be enhanced further by completing this quest. The required items can be found both in and outside of Save the Queen areas.

Resistance weapon quests employ a system which will require players to proceed using the same class or job with which they accepted the quest.

When the season ends, the top ranking players from each data center will receive vouchers via the moogle delivery service.

Players finishing in bronze tier or higher can claim rewards by speaking with the Feast Quartermaster at the Wolves' Den Pier (X:4.9 Y:5.7).

Learn more about rewards.
* Tier rewards for Season Nineteen must be claimed before the end of pre-season.

* Appears on PlayStation®4 Pro.
