FFXIV: Store Update, Sale & Updated Buy for Friend Feature

New Store Item: Archon Egg Parasol

The latest update to the Final Fantasy XIV online store introduces a single new item: the Archon Egg Parasol. Priced at $3 (or £1.80 in the UK and €2.61 in Europe), this parasol was originally part of last year's Hatching Tide event. If you missed out previously, now is an excellent time to add it to your collection.

Hatching Tide Sale

Alongside the new parasol, a significant sale is ongoing for items from previous Hatching Tide events. This sale will continue until the launch of patch 7.5 on April 28th. Discounts vary between items, so it’s wise to compare prices for mounts, glamour, minions, and more to find the best deals. Here are some highly recommended items:

• Chicken Attire
• Hatching Bunny

Upcoming Store Additions

Looking to the future, it's expected that the Hatching Tide event will bring even more items to the store, potentially including:

1. Six pieces of facegear
2. Six pieces of headgear
3. Six furnishings

   Be sure to check these out before April 6th to obtain them for free in-game, as they may later require real money for purchase.

Buy for a Friend Feature Update

Starting April 2nd, the store's "Buy for Friend" feature has been updated to include more optional items like popular mounts, minions, and emotes. This feature now lets you gift items to in-game friends, provided you have been on each other's friend list for more than 72 hours. This change empowers players to share their favorite items with companions, enhancing the social aspect of the game.

Looking ahead, keep an eye out for potential new additions during events such as FanFest, where new items often make an appearance. These updates add a layer of excitement and opportunity to acquire unique in-game assets, promising a vibrant store experience.
