How to get every Final Fantasy XIV x Yo-kai Watch collaboration mount, minion and weapon
The Yo-kai Watch: Gather One, Gather All collaboration event is back in Final Fantasy XIV for the fourth time, giving players another chance to get their hands on the many minions, weapons, and mounts available only during the crossover. The event starts on April 24, 2024, at 1 a.m. PDT and ends June 27 (Patch 7.0, Dawntrail).
This time, there’s only one new reward in FFXIV with the Yo-kai Watch event: a limited Framer’s Kit. However, if you’re new — or just didn’t finish the grind last time — FFXIV has a ton of collectibles to grind out in this collaboration. But don’t worry, we’ve got quite some time, and I’ve got how to get every FFXIV Yo-kai Watch collab reward explained here.
Where does the FFXIV x Yo-kai Watch event start?
The Yo-kai Watch event begins in Ul’dah with the Poor-heeled Youth on the Steps of Nald (X:9.2, Y:9.1). He’ll give you the quest A Complete Game Changer, and, upon completion, three key items for the journey ahead:
- Yo-kai Watch
- Yo-kai Medallium
- (1) Yo-kai Medal
To begin, you must be level 15 and complete the Gridanian, Lominsan, or Ul’dahn Envoy Main Scenario quest.
How to earn Yo-kai Medals in the FFXIV collaboration event
Essentially, FFXIV offers two ‘currency’ types in the limited-time event, and old medals from previous iterations of the Yo-kai Watch collab are still redeemable, too. There are the typical FATE rewards, Yo-kai Medals, and then the minion-dependent Legendary Yo-kai Medals.
Yo-kai Medals, exchanged for minions
To earn Yo-kai medals in the collaboration event, grind FATEs in certain zones and complete them with a rating of Silver or higher. Remember, you must wear the Yo-kai Watch accessory while grinding FATEs. Otherwise, it won’t count.
Legendary Yo-kai Medals, exchanged for weapons
Legendary Yo-kai Medals are also earned through completing FATEs with a rating of Silver or higher, but the Medals you earn depend on which Yo-kai minion you have summoned. There is a special, corresponding Yo-kai Watch weapon for every minion. Again, always wear your Yo-Kai Watch bracelet while farming medals.
Whoops! What should you do if you threw away your Yo-kai Watch?
If you threw away your Yo-kai Watch bracelet for the collaboration event, head to any city-state and locate the Calamity Salvager. The NPC will sell you another accessory to replace anything you’ve tossed on accident.
How to get all Yo-kai minions in FFXIV
After collecting your first Yo-kai Medal, head to the Gold Saucer and speak with Nohi (X:5.2, Y:6.9). The first minion is available for just one Yo-kai Medal, but every minion after costs three Yo-kai Medals.
To get every FFXIV Yo-kai Watch collaboration minion, you must gather 49 Yo-kai Medals in total.
Additionally, you cannot summon any of these minions until you collect 13 of them — though this rule only applies during the event. That’s 37 Yo-Kai Medals required to summon a minion, and there are 17 total.
