The Monster Hunter Wilds collaboration event has been added to Final Fantasy 14 with the release of Patch 7.35, and it will be a permanent addition, just like the previous Monster Hunter crossover. This update introduces the Windward Wilds trial, along with its Extreme version, and offers many rewards for players to earn.
There are various items to collect, including mounts, minions, armor, weapons, housing items, and more. There’s likely something for everyone. To access this new content, players need to complete the quest titled “The White Wanderer.”
The White Wanderer Side Quest Walkthrough
Begin by speaking with the Dawn Hunt Tracker in Tuliyollal at coordinates (X:13.3, Y:13.1). Note that you need to be level 100 and have completed the main scenario quest “Dawntrail” to start this quest.
Next, teleport to Hhusatahwi in Shaaloani and interact with the destination marker at (X:28.3, Y:30.2). After a cutscene, talk to the Stray Felyne at (X:29.8, Y:29.2) and escort him along a designated path, marked by monster tracks at (X:31.0, Y:26.2), (X:28.4, Y:25.9), and (X:29.5, Y:22.2).
After the cutscene, interact with the Secret to climb aboard and prepare for a ride. Following another cutscene, speak with the Stray Felyne at (X:17.1, Y:6.3) and agree to set up camp. In the camp, talk again with the Felyne at (X:5.8, Y:5.9), then back at (X:5.8, Y:5.9) after a short scene. This completes the quest, unlocking access to the Windward Wilds trial.
Prerequisites and Rewards:
You must have an item level of 725 or higher to undertake the trial. Defeating the Guardian Arkveld grants a Veldian Weapon Coffer (IL745). Be sure to interact with the Guardian Arkveld to collect two Guardian Scales, which is easy to overlook.
Return to the Dawn Hunt Tracker in Tuliyollal to finish the quest and receive rewards, including:
- 5,000 gil
- Seikret Horn (Mount)
- Outdoor Hunter’s Grill (Furnishing)
- Hunter’s Camp Chair (Furnishing)
- Guardian Hunter achievement
Unlocking The Windward Wilds (Extreme)
After completing “The White Wanderer,” visit the Wandering Minstrel in Tuliyollal at (X:11.2, Y:14.7). Choose the option labeled “Guardian Arkveld. [The Windward Wilds (Extreme)]” to unlock the Extreme version of the trial.
The Extreme trial offers rewards like Veldian Weapon Coffers, Guardian Scales (from the Guardian Arkveld’s body), and Guardian Arkveld Certificates.
Exchanging Guardian Scales & Certificates
Use Guardian Scales and Certificates at the local smithy in Tuliyollal (X:13.3, Y:13.1) to upgrade your Veldian weapons. Scales can also be exchanged for various items and permits, including mounts, minions, orchestrion rolls, and furnishings. Upgrading to an Augmented Veldian weapon requires exchanging your existing weapon along with Guardian Arkveld Certificates.
