FFXIV Patch 7.5 Trail to the Heavens went live on April 28, 2026 and brought the final wing of the Echoes of Vana'diel alliance raid, the Pelupelu Allied Society continuation, the Occult Crescent Phase 2 zone, a new Extreme trial against Enuo, and a fresh batch of mounts and glamour to chase. The post below covers the confirmed rewards now that the patch has been live for two-plus weeks. Side note on the roadmap: 7.5 Part 1 is what's covered here; the Cosmic Exploration Auxesia destination, Dancing Mad (Ultimate), and the Hildibrand questline conclusion all ship in Patch 7.51 on June 2, 2026 and Patch 7.55 on July 28, 2026 respectively.
The walkthrough below covers each confirmed reward by source activity, with the Wings of Legacy capstone and the Phantom Freelancer glamour set as the two prestige chases.
The headline EX trial in 7.5 is The Unmaking (Extreme) against Enuo, the void-magic villain pulled from Final Fantasy 5. The Extreme version drops Wings of Nihility, a tendril-laced wing mount that echoes the boss's silhouette during the encounter. Totems of Naught function as the standard bad-luck protection currency on this trial, so weekly clears bank toward a guaranteed mount even if the direct drop misses.
The Wings of Nihility complete the seventh wing in the Dawntrail roster, which is what makes 7.5 the right window to start the capstone Wings of Legacy farm if you missed any earlier expansion wing.
Shinryu's Domain (Unreal) is the rotating Unreal trial for 7.5, and its weekly Faux Hollows mini-game is the source of the Alexandrian Axe Beak ground mount. Spend 600 Faux Leaves at the Faux Commander in Idyllshire and the mount is yours. Faux Leaves come from the weekly Faux Hollows board, capped at one prize-tier completion per week, so this is a multi-month grind rather than a single weekend.
The Pelupelu Allied Society (the Turali Travel Agency NPCs Liplu and Wawkesa) gets its 7.5 continuation, with new daily quests gating the upper rank rewards. The reward roadmap is:
The Pelupelu line runs in parallel with the older Dawntrail allied societies on a single daily-quest cap, so plan rotation accordingly.
The Wings of Legacy mount is the expansion-long capstone. Collect all seven Dawntrail wing mounts — Ruin (7.0 EX), Resolve, Eternity, Knighthood, Death, Mist, and now Nihility (7.5 EX) — then pick up the quest "The Wing Spirit Cometh" from Uah'shepya in Solution Nine (8.6, 13.5). The reward is a fully-deployed multi-winged mount that expands its silhouette during flight.
This is the right patch to commit to the chase: with Nihility now live, the seven prerequisites are all available content for the first time in Dawntrail's run. Players who want to farm the new 7.5 mounts in parallel can run the EX, Alliance Raid, and Unreal queues through a carry while focusing personal play on the Wings of Legacy capstone quest.
Beyond the headliners, Patch 7.5 added a handful of side rewards worth flagging:
The cosmetic content does not stop at mounts. Patch 7.5's glamour additions land mostly inside the Occult Crescent zone, and the FF5 callbacks continue into the new Phantom Job system.
Occult Crescent Phase 2 lands on Shades' Triangle and adds the Phantom Freelancer Phantom Job — the default Phantom Job pulled directly from FF5's Freelancer class. The glamour tied to that job is the Bartz Klauser-themed Freelancer set, which is exchanged at the Occult Crescent faction vendors using the zone's currency. The set is one of the cleaner direct callbacks to FF5 in the patch and is the prerequisite path for unlocking subsequent Phantom Jobs in the zone.
The Cosmic Exploration relic ladder did NOT add the rumored "Engineer Outfit" variants in this patch. Those visuals are attached to the Cosmic Exploration Auxesia destination, which is Patch 7.51 content. Players chasing crafter cosmetics should expect that wave on June 2, 2026 rather than now. Readers who want to pick up the new 7.5 glamour sets ahead of Phantom Job-locked content can route through the Occult Crescent grind directly.
Wings of Nihility, dropped by Enuo in The Unmaking (Extreme). The mount is the seventh wing in the Dawntrail roster and the final prerequisite for the Wings of Legacy capstone quest. Totems of Naught from weekly EX clears provide bad-luck protection.
Run Shinryu's Domain (Unreal) and complete the weekly Faux Hollows board for Faux Leaves. Spend 600 Faux Leaves at the Faux Commander NPC in Idyllshire. Faux Leaves are capped at one prize-tier completion per week, so plan for a multi-month grind rather than a weekend rush.
The Pelupelu mount is Punutiy and unlocks at Respected rank in the allied society ladder. Wind-up Pelupelu, Pelupack, and Pelubill Calot fill the minion slots at Trusted, Honored, and Bloodsworn respectively.
Wings of Legacy is the Dawntrail expansion capstone, not a 7.5-only reward. The quest "The Wing Spirit Cometh" unlocks after you collect all seven Dawntrail wing mounts (Ruin, Resolve, Eternity, Knighthood, Death, Mist, Nihility). 7.5 is the first window where every prerequisite is available, so the capstone chase becomes practical now.
Inconceivably Further Hildibrand Adventures got its 7.5 intro arc with the FF5 motorcycle as the visible reward. The proper questline-completion mount drops with Patch 7.55 on July 28, 2026. Dancing Mad (Ultimate) — the seventh FFXIV Ultimate — releases with Patch 7.51 on June 2, 2026, not in this patch.
The Phantom Freelancer Phantom Job lands with the new zone and unlocks the Bartz Klauser-themed Freelancer glamour set, exchanged at the Occult Crescent faction vendors. The set is a direct FF5 callback and is the gateway to the rest of the Phantom Job system in the zone.
