FFXIV Yokai Watch event start date
In order to start the Yokai Watch event, players will need to have completed the respective story quest to leave their home city. They must also be above level 15 before starting the quest line.
Players can then head to Ul’dah and speak to the Poor-heeled Youth at X:9.2, and Y:9.1 to pick up the Yo-kai Watch and Yo-kai Medallium which lets you obtain Yo-kai Medals.
Players will need to collect Yo-kai medals by participating in FATEs in ARR, Heavensward, and Stormblood zones, doing so will net you medals if you receive a Silver or higher ranking.
Collecting Minions is required to complete the Yo-kai Watch event, these can be gained by speaking to the Wandering Executive at the Gold Saucer (X:5.2, Y:6.9). This NPC will introduce you to Yo-kai which you can befriend as minions, provided you have enough Yo-kai medals.
You then use the Yo-kai minions in FATEs to gather Legendary Yo-kai Medals, which can then be traded in for Yo-kai themed weapons for all classes except for Sage and Reaper.
Outside of the minions and weapons, you’ll also be able to purchase a Framer’s Kit for the event from an NPC in the Golden Saucer.
Collecting enough of the minions during the Yo-kai watch event will also give you access to various mounts, with the final mount requiring players to grab all of the themed weapons.
