Final Fantasy XI Sunshine Seeker Event About to Begin

Square Enix announced it is bringing the Sunshine Seeker seasonal event back to Final Fantasy XI. It will start on June 14, 2024, and people have a chance to earn a new piece of furniture until June 27, 2024.

To take part in Sunshine Seeker, you first need to get a Mandragora Mask and Suit. These are given out at Bastok Mines (H-9), Southern San d’Oria (I-8), and Windurst Walls (H-11). Babban Ny Mheillea, who is a Mandragora, will be there giving them away. If you talk to the NPC while wearing the outfit, you can take part in the game. Your goal is to collect sunlight shards, all while avoiding some NPCs, for three minutes. You get seeds for shards to participate in a lottery for prizes. The new piece of furniture you can get is an Adenium Bench.

Even with its age, it isn’t uncommon to see regular event updates in Final Fantasy XI. For example, the seasonal Easter Egg Hunt returned in March 2024. The summer upgrade materials campaigns also kicked off at the end of May 2024. 

Final Fantasy XI is available for Windows PCs, and the Sunshine Seeker event will run between June 14-27, 2024.
