Square Enix kicked off the FFXI October 2026 Login Campaign that awards people points for showing up to exchange for exclusive rewards and confirmed the point distribution period is longer and exchange period will be shorter from here on out. This time, we can get points between October 14, 2026 up until November 7, 2026. However, we can exchange points earned from this login period until November 9, 2026. So it’s a 25-day period for acquiring and redemption takes place for about 27 days.
This is only a minor increase. The September 2026 Login Campaign started on September 11, 2026, and that ran until October 5, 2026. That meant we basically had about 24 days to earn points and get items. The redemption period then ended on October 12, 2026, which gave an additional seven days to spend points on rewards. The August 2026 one ran from August 13, 2026 to September 2, 2026, which was about 20 days, and we again had seven additional days to redeem with the exchange period ending on September 9, 2026.
As for the rewards, the featured item is the The Scientist’s Board furnishing. That costs 150 points. Square Enix also pointed out in the main page announcement that Alter Ego Ciphers are five points each in October 2026. The following are available in October 2026.
