FFXIV 7.2: Main Content Unlock Locations Guide
Time: 2025-03-22 by mmojugg Game: FFXIV Guide
Patch 7.2 of Final Fantasy XIV, dubbed "Seekers of Eternity," lands on March 25, 2025, bringing a hefty dose of new adventures to Dawntrail. From fresh main scenario quests to the next tier of the Arcadion raid series, there's plenty to dive into. This guide cuts through the noise to show you exactly where to unlock the core content—because no one wants to waste time wandering around Solution Nine when there's loot to grab and stories to unravel. Let's get to it!
Main Scenario Quest: A Glimmer of the Past
The backbone of Patch 7.2 is the new Main Scenario Quest (MSQ), “A Glimmer of the Past.” To kick things off:
Where: Solution Nine (X: 6.0, Y: 6.4)
Who: Krile (in the Back Room)
Requirements: Level 100 Disciple of War or Magic; must have completed the Patch 7.1 MSQ “For the Crossroads”
What You Get: Progressing this unlocks the new dungeon, The Underkeep, and the trial, Recollection.
This quest picks up where 7.1 left off, weaving more of that juicy Dawntrail narrative. Expect some surprises as you explore these new duties—perfect for gearing up and soaking in the story.
Arcadion: Cruiserweight Division Raid Tier
The second tier of the Arcadion raid series, dubbed “Cruiserweight,” is here to test your mettle. Here's how to unlock it:
Quest: “Souls Under Siege”
Where: Solution Nine (X: 22.2, Y: 16.6)
Who: Jana
Requirements: Level 100 Disciple of War or Magic; must have completed the 7.1 Chronicles of a New Era quest “The Neoteric Witch”
Extras: Normal mode drops on patch day, with Savage mode unlocking a week later on April 1, 2025, alongside the Stone, Sky, Sea testing area.
You can also mess around with normal-mode HP dummies in Stone, Sky, Sea right away—head to Heritage Found's outskirts and talk to the NPC there to teleport in. It's a great spot to tweak your DPS before the real fights begin.
Cornservant Questline: When Death Comes to Dinner
For a lighter break from the grind, the new Cornservant questline delivers some slapstick fun:
Quest: “When Death Comes to Dinner”
Where: Tuliyollal (X: 16.4, Y: 12.8)
Who: Cornservant
Requirements: Level 100 Disciple of War or Magic; must have completed the Dawntrail MSQ (Patch 7.0) and the side quest “Tasteful Memories” (also in Tuliyollal)
Think of it as a warm-up for Hildibrand's return in May. It's quirky, it's silly, and it's a nice palate cleanser between epic battles.
Unreal Trial: Hraesvelgr Unleashed
The latest Unreal trial pits you against Hraesvelgr with a level 100 twist. Here's the scoop:
Quest: “Fantastic Mr. Faux” (only if you've never done Unreal before)
Where: Idyllshire (X: 7.0, Y: 5.9)
Who: Painfully Ishgardian Man
Requirements: Level 80+ Disciple of War or Magic; must have completed Shadowbringers MSQ and the side quest “Keeping Up with the Aliapohs” (Idyllshire)
Note: If you've already unlocked Faux Hollows, Hraesvelgr Unreal is ready in Duty Finder or Party Finder on patch day.
New rewards are up for grabs with Faux Leaves, including a slick mount that's bound to turn heads. Stockpile those leaves now if you want to snag it early!
Free Fantasia: Customize Your Look Again
Square Enix is tossing out another free Fantasia with Patch 7.2, thanks to more graphical tweaks (this time focusing on eyelashes and eyebrows):
Where: Old Gridania, Apkallu Falls (near Jonathas the achievement vendor)
Who: Wandering Moogle
When: Available from March 25, 2025, until Patch 7.3 drops
Even if you grabbed the last one before 7.2, you can claim this too. It's a perfect chance to tweak your character's face without dipping into your wallet.
Bonus Goodies: Gold Saucer, PvP, and Tomestones
Gold Saucer: New MGP rewards are incoming—think mounts or minions. Farm that MGP now to splurge on patch day!
PvP Series: A new series kicks off with a praying mantis-style robot mount, emotes, and adventurer plates. Check your PvP profile and hit Wolves' Den Pier to claim last season's ranking rewards.
Tomestone Switch: Allagan Tomestones of Aesthetics are out, replaced by Heliometry. Swap leftovers with Auriana in Mor Dhona (X: 22.7, Y: 6.7). Then head to Solution Nine's Heliometry vendor for crafting mats to gear up for Cruiserweight raids—great for week-one prog or flipping for gil.
Tips for Patch Day Success
Patch day is chaos, so plan ahead: cap your Tomestones of Heliometry, hoard Aesthetics for the swap, and hit the ground running on March 25. The crafted gear from Heliometry mats will be hot for raiders, so crafting or selling those could net you a tidy profit. And don't sleep on the smaller updates—Bicolor Gemstone vendors and Trophy Crystal traders might have some hidden gems too.
