This patch will be unveiling a new raid where players will get to experience the ethereal energy of Pandaemonium and the horrors that lay beyond the walls. While the initial raid will be released on May 23, 2023, those who want that extra bit of a challenge can expect the Savage Raid to release on May 30.

New Dungeon: The Aetherfont

Players will be taken to the North of Sharlayan, to the verdant Isle of Haam. This land in particular is protected by the Forum and is overflowing with aether. Players will come across many academic characters and beasts who are ready to fight to the death to protect what is theirs on the island.

New Main Scenario Quests in FFXIV 6.4

As with most patches that are added to FFXIV, Main Scenario Quests are always added. This patch is no exception. In these new quests, the Warrior of Light and their allies are tasked with finding a new path to the void, as Cagnazzo and Rubicante succeed in destroying the voidgate. 

Unreal Trials, Mounts & more

Containment Bay Z1T9 is getting an additional challenge, with players being able to undertake this Trial in Unreal difficulty. Players will now be able to battle Zurvan once more and put their knowledge of the fight to the limit to see how well they can do.

The Duty Support System has now extended to include five dungeons from Stormblood. This includes the following dungeons:

  • The Sirensong Sea
  • Bardam’s Battle
  • Doma Castle
  • Castrum Abania
  • Ala Mhigo

There will also be new Mounts and Minions for players to farm for, as well as an update to Ocean Fishing and Island Sanctuaries. There is more to come in this patch, and we will update this article as we find out.

That is everything you need to know about the upcoming FFXIV 6.4 patch. For more information on FFXIV, keep reading GGRecon.
