You remember the Final Fantasy XIV collaboration with GARO, right? It’s hard to forget it; where else can you get an invisible shield, mechanical ponies, and a whole lot of armor or leather for your chosen job? Well, as has been announced before, this collaboration is ending when patch 5.1 launches at some point later this month (either October 22nd or 29th), so the developers have reminded players once again to earn your rewards now because they can’t be earned after the patch.
This is important to note: You cannot earn the achievements to unlock the mounts post-patch, so there’s no grace period once the collaboration ends. Of course, all of this content has been in the game for quite some time, so you certainly have had time to pick up these rewards; if there are still some you want, however, be sure to finish working on them sooner rather than later. Once the patch arrives, you can’t get it any more.
📣 #FFXIV Patch 5.1 draws closer which means the GARO collaboration will officially end soon! Be sure to earn any PvP gear, mounts, titles and achievements from it before then! ⚔️ https://t.co/R73m2JEroi pic.twitter.com/FWCy9yl0L6
