FFXIV Hatching-tide 2023 event guide

Final Fantasy 14’s Easter-themed celebration, the Hatching-tide, has started bringing back the eggy fun with a little bit of a stabby twist this year.

It runs for approximately two hours. From March 27, at 4 AM EDT to April 10, at 10:59 EDTMake sure you grab your rewards quickly.

To start the quest, talk to this NPC at Mih Khetto’s Amphitheater in Old Gridania:

A Viera in red stands in front of a Miqo’te in an egg costume standing on a wooden stage adorned with glowing egg decorations in Final Fantasy 14. The right half of the image shows a map of Old Gridania with a white star noting where to find the NPC.

This will start the quest “Get Along and Play Knife,” which will direct you around Gridania to scare off some Sylphs. After completing that quest, the NPC in the tonberry suit next to her will have another quest for you, which is what rewards the “Frighten” emote. The quest requires you to clear the event FATE once, and it’ll lead you directly to it in Central Shroud.

FATE FFXIV, Hatching Tide 2023

The FATE pops up every few minutes in Central Shroud and you’ll notice a crowd of players around where it spawns. Once the FATE does start, remember to hit the “join FATE” button that appears or you will not be able to participate.

During the FATE, you’ll need to collect eggs while dodging the attacks of many Sylphs and a mammet. Getting hit will make it so you can’t move for a bit, but there aren’t any other adverse effects.

Since there are so many other players running around, we recommend using whatever button you have set to “confirm” so you can select the eggs, without accidentally selecting an enemy or player.

Six eggs were turned in and we received silver-tier contributions, which gave us five special Midnight Archon eggs. We received a gold-tier contribution when we submitted 11 eggs. This earned us 10 special Midnight Archon egg. Either way, you’ll need to do the FATE a few times to get all the rewards.
