Jeuno, Back in the Spotlight
In celebration of the third installment of Echoes of Vana'diel (Windurst: The Third Walk) being added to FINAL FANTASY XIV as part of Patch 7.5, FFXI is also bringing back the related event.
As part of this event, equipment based on Kam'lanaut's beloved weapon and shield, as well as the 
"sheet of Jeuno tunes" will be available as spoils for completing the ★Return to Delkfutt's Tower battlefield!
In conjunction with the event's return, Kam'lanaut has prepared the Archduke's Sword and the Archduke's Shield as special rewards while he awaits your challenge. This event is specifically designed to let new and veteran adventurers alike participate, so be sure to take advantage of this opportunity.
Note: The Archduke's Sword and Archduke's Shield have been left with the Curator Moogle. Once the event has started, make sure to check the items needed for the trade.
