Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker was released earlier this month, and it quickly became one of the game’s most popular expansions to date. Patch 6.01 just dropped bringing new content, including a new raid dungeon and a host of other improvements.
New Raid Dungeon
Pandæmonium: Asphodelos is the latest raid dungeon that you can get into with your buddies. To enter, you must satisfy some requirements.
You must first complete the Chronicles of a New Era quest: The Crystal from Beyond. You can get this quest only after finishing the Endwalker’s main storyline. Completing it will unlock the first four Pandæmonium raids.
Then, you need to be a Disciple of War or at least Magic Level 90 to be eligible. Your average item level must be 565 or above, and you can be with a premade group or queue solo via the Duty Finder.
There are things that you need to keep in mind. The Treasure Coffers that spawn at the end of the raid will not contain gear. However, it will yield tokens that you can exchange for a specific gear of your choice. Only one token can be earned per week and you’ll have to wait until the next reset (Tuesday at 3 a.m. EST) to get another.
When you receive your token for the week, you will relinquish your right to roll for subsequent tokens even if you’ve selected Need or Greed.
