In an exciting development for fans of both Final Fantasy XIV and Monster Hunter Wilds, a collaboration is set to unfold this October, introducing a delightful array of rewards, including the adorable baby Seikret minion. While the prospect of diving into approximately 500 hours of gameplay may not appeal to everyone, the charm of this new minion is undeniable.
Collaboration Highlights
The baby Seikret, alongside a Vigorwasp minion, will make its debut as part of the collaboration rewards. Although some players may express disappointment that a Palico is not included this time around—having previously been available during the Rathalos crossover in Stormblood—the Seikret offers its own unique appeal. This flightless creature, with its endearing lack of thought, is sure to capture the hearts of many.
As players gear up for the upcoming challenges, they will encounter Arkveld’s trial, The Windward Wilds. To engage in this normal encounter, participants must reach an item level of 725, while the Extreme version will elevate the requirement to 740. This scaling difficulty mirrors the experience players had with Rathalos, ensuring a thrilling challenge for all.
Preparation for the Challenge
For those looking to prepare, it’s essential to gather more than just main story job gear to meet the item level requirements. Collecting tomestone pieces should not significantly extend the grind, while crafted gear can provide a valuable shortcut for those with gil to spare.
In addition to the baby Seikret, players can look forward to a variety of other Wilds-themed rewards, including:
- Gear styled after the Hope set
- Arkveld weapons
- Seikret mount
- Several housing items
While the details are still unfolding, it seems that Square Enix has more surprises in store, hinting at a full gallery of weapons and additional extras, such as orchestrion rolls for player estates.
Ultimately, the excitement surrounding the baby Seikret minion is palpable. Players have previously acquired the Poogie through The Great Hunt (Extreme), and many are eager to see how they can obtain this new companion. As always, the community is ready to band together in search of rewards, ensuring that the journey remains as enjoyable as the destination.
