Square Enix once again paid tribute to the polygonal, blocky FFXIV Endwalker grapes, this time with a Labyrinthos Grape Lamppost. The new outdoor furnishing item appeared in patch 6.55 part 2.
The Labyrinthos Grape Lamppost can only be placed outside of housing. So if you don’t have a home where you can put outdoor furnishing, you can’t display it. It is something someone can craft. The “lamp” part of it is designed to look like the Labyrinthos area’s blocky grapes. These appeared like that briefly in FFXIV Endwalker, though patch 6.01 fixed their appearance. Someone can’t buy them, and you can’t place them in an armoire or glamour dresser. It can be desynthesized by an Alchemist, however.
The official description for them continues to play with how the FFXIV Endwalker grapes ended up becoming a meme. So much so that LINE stickers and a Las Vegas Fan Fest 2023 stress ball were designed to look like them.
Seeking to make grapes more transportable, a researcher at Meryall Agronomics is rumored to have produced a variety that grew in blocky clusters. Although complaints that they looked unappetizing led to a new strain with rounder edges, the original was regarded fondly by some, and so it was immortalized in the form of this lamppost.
Here’s an image of the new FFXIV Labyrinthos Grape Lamppost shared by Aitai Kuji owner Audrey Lamsam.
Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC. It is also headed to the Xbox Series X in Spring 2024. The Dawntrail expansion is in development for a Summer 2024 release.
