Your Quest for Yo-kai: FFXIV Minions & Weapons
The journey to collect all the adorable Yo-kai minions and their corresponding powerful weapons is a two-pronged approach, heavily centered around participating in FATEs across various regions of Eorzea.
1. Collecting Yo-kai Minions:
To begin, seek out the Poor-heeled Youth in Ul’dah, Gridania, or Limsa Lominsa to start the introductory quest for the event. Once the event is active, participate in any designated FATEs throughout the game world (specific regions typically offer a higher chance, like those in the three starting city-states’ surrounding areas). By successfully completing these FATEs, you’ll earn Yo-kai Medals. These medals are your currency for recruiting the various Yo-kai minions. Trade your collected Yo-kai Medals to the Wandering Executive (usually found near the Poor-heeled Youth) to unlock your first few adorable companions.
2. Acquiring Yo-kai Weapons:
Once you have acquired a Yo-kai minion, the real hunt begins for their unique weapons. The trick here is that you must summon a specific Yo-kai minion while participating in FATEs. For example, if you want the weapon associated with Jibanyan, you’ll need to have the Jibanyan minion actively summoned and following you when you complete FATEs.
Successfully completing FATEs with the correct minion summoned will give you a chance to earn Legendary Yo-kai Medals. Each weapon requires a certain number of these Legendary Medals, and they are typically tied to specific combat jobs. Trade these Legendary Yo-kai Medals to the Wandering Executive to claim your powerful new glamours! Be prepared for a bit of a grind, as dropping the Legendary Medals can sometimes require patience.
