Festival of Gold: Orb Dungeon



It’s finally here!

Time to strengthen your party in this event with EXP, orbs, and Gil that are in abundance!

Event Rules

The event will be split into 4 phases and each phase lasts for three days.

(thanks to Robotstove for mining the translated images!)

Skip to: PHASE 1 / PHASE 2 / PHASE 3 / PHASE 4

The Orb Dungeon will feature two rare spawns: Cactuar & Gigantuar.

They can appear in any difficulty, but the chances of them spawning are higher as difficulty increases.

Cactuars guarantee either a regular orb or Greater orb, while Gigantuars guarantee either a Greater orb or a Major Orb.

There are no bosses in this event, the only real boss is RNG.

Make sure you plan ahead what orbs you need and maximize your returns!

Stamina refreshes are recommended! Go hard or go home!

NOTE

While the ever elusive Cactuar and Gigantuar drop valuable high-rarity orbs… Do note that:

In Normal dungeons, regular enemies drop Minor (1★) orbs.

In Hard dungeons, regular enemies drop Lesser (2★) orbs.

In Heroic dungeons, regular enemies drop Regular (3★) orbs.
