What is the Secret in the Box?
The Secret in the Box is a special loot box awarded during Final Fantasy XIV's Hatchingtide seasonal event. Players obtain it by completing event-specific quests. Opening this box reveals randomized items, emphasizing cosmetic and collectible rewards over combat gear.
Loot Drop Mechanics
This loot box uses a random drop system with guaranteed rewards upon completion. Each box grants one main item and potentially minor extras like materials. Loot tables vary annually but maintain core themes tied to the event.
Common Loot Items
Typical drops from the Secret in the Box include:
- Fashion Accessories: Hats, masks, and outfits in unique styles.
- Minions: Event-exclusive companions such as avian-themed pets.
- Mounts: Rare, holiday-inspired mounts with special animations.
- Housing Items: Decorations like themed furniture and trophies.
- Crafting Materials: Event tokens for exchanging at vendors.
Tips for Maximizing Rewards
Participate each year to access updated loot pools. Complete all event quests for multiple boxes, increasing chances for rare drops. Prioritize activities during the event window to ensure availability, as items may become unavailable post-event.
