Rebellion returns for its 10th anniversary FFXIV, with the interesting caveat that this time the event lasts until patch 6.5 is released. This means that it will last twice as long as the normal seasonal event period. The uprising is a worldwide celebration of the anniversary FFXIV, framed as an annual commemoration of the Calamity. This year’s event is more intense than usual and even has a new mini-game, so let’s fly into the special The Rising 2023.
FFXIV Rising 2023 Guide Prerequisites
You need to be level 15 to get Siblings Rising. No word on the usual MSQ requirements for level 15. The quest is at (10.1, 8.6) in Ul’dah near the main Aetherit of Kipih Jakkya.

You may recognize her from her previous Make It Rain event this year. She’ll recognize you when you’ve done quests with her before, and she’ll explain that she’s looking for her brother. If you participated in last year’s Rising, you have the option to say you’ve met him before, which she says is an amazing coincidence.
You now have three NPCs to talk to on Ruby Road. Below is a growing Midlander on stage (10.5, 8.3), a Highlander adventuring in the middle of the Ruby Road (10.5, 8.3), and Bran talking to an elevatorman past the Ruby Road (10.7, 9.5). Bran recognizes you when you participated in Rising 2014 or 2019. Gathering all their information, you head to the Wandering Minstrel to find out where he is.
Go past the elevator to the golden courtyard and talk to the Wandering Minstrel on the other side of the fountain at (11.2, 11.4). He explains that her brother Nagi’a is accompanying Chakab’s carriage, collecting letters for his exhibition at the Letter Forest, but the carriage has to return already. Approach her at (11.1, 9.0). Tell her what you found out and teleport together to Black Brush Station. It will be immediately ahead in (21.1, 18.6).
The Middle-earth merchant says that the thugs have attacked Chakab’s carriage with a clutch and one guard is outnumbered.

A cutscene follows where the thugs retreat at the sight of you (smart thugs here) and you’re reunited with Nagi’a, who is happy to see you back when you ruled him last year. Brandt from the opening scene of the Ul’dah route also makes a small cameo.
You teleport back to the cutscene with the traveling minstrel to talk to him and enter another cutscene. Watch as the siblings argue, then talk to her to complete the quest for 324 gil and 1440 exp.
FFXIV The Rising 2023, Part 2: “What drives us”
In the next task, she explains her decision, but asks you to follow him while he considers her words. The minstrel says he went to the Sapphire Avenue Exchange. Use the Gladiator Guild Aetherite to the Sapphire Avenue Exchange, then go east to spot him talking to an independent trader (14,2, 11.0). He’ll tell you some family lore, then ask who he can talk to about his dilemma who isn’t an adventurer in Ul’dah. These options are:
- How about the face of the Adventurer’s Guild? Momodi, that is the correct answer.
- How about a local information provider? Wymond, where does he disagree with you.
- How about a business with extensive connections to adventurers? House of Splendors, which he didn’t go to because of the horror stories about people who owed themselves to the house and turned into servants. Comforting.
After choosing the wrong answer, he finds out Momodi on his own. Teleport to the Adventurer’s Guild and talk to him inside (11.4, 9.4) for another cutscene. In this clip, you are asked why you became an adventurer, and each one gets a different answer from Momoji.
- I wanted to see the world / It seemed exciting: “Hehe, how very similar you are. Keep that reason close to your heart, you hear?”
- Recommended to me by a friend, “Right? Hehe, how cute. Keep that friend close, you hear?’
- This is the secret: your character performs the /Shush emote. “If you don’t want to share, I won’t ask. However, looking at you, it seems that you have a reason. Keep it close to your heart, you hear?”
After that, you teleport outside to talk to him again. He wants to find a certain letter in the Forest of Letters, so run through the Golden Court back to the Minstrel. You are all tasked with finding it, but you can also choose other additional letters.
- Leaf-shield (11.1, 11.1): The soldier says that the adventurers are a boon to the city.
- Figure Quil (10.8, 11.0): Someone thanks the adventurers for helping restore Calamity’s fast.
- Chocobo Stroller (11.3, 11.4): A chocobo driver who likes to listen to tales of adventurers.
The target letter hangs between the pillars in (11.4, 10.8). Someone wants to recruit adventurers to join them on an expedition. Return it to Nhagi’a and hand it in, then go to the Weavers’ Guild to meet him at (13.2, 12.5).
After the cutscene, return to Ruby Road near the elevator and talk to the Traveling Minstrel for Naoki Yoshida’s annual cutscene. Unlike normal roller coasters, this one takes place on an airship, not in some void. You have to feel its message on yourself, apart from that.
Rewards and additional services
Completing the quest gives you the achievement Decade of Adventure. You’ll get 458 gil, 1440 exp, a rising phoenix whistle, and 10 Nimean Potpourri. You also gain access to the Forest of Letters. The Literary Forest Contest in (11.3, 11.4) in the Golden Yard allows you to read a bunch of letters from people of various occupations. This includes those who write the Emote guide and the person who does the arrangement for the Orchestrion Rolls.
There are even more from FFXIV The Rising 2023. You can also play Kupo Kupo Adventure on stage, a three-stage 8-bit mini-game where you play as a Moogle and shoot bullets and magic at approaching enemies. There is no reward for winning this mini-game, it’s just for fun.
From the Growing Supplier based on (10.5, 8.5) Ruby Road (which has the same model as the original 1.0 Minfilia, so hello Minfilia!) you can also purchase:
- The Land Reborn Orchestrion Roll for 1000 gil. An 8-bit version of the ARR battle theme that plays while playing Kupo Kupo Adventure.
- Pom From The Heavens Orchestrion Roll for 1000 gil. Ditto for another ARR battle thread.
- Advertising is growing poster for 2000 gil.
- Different types of confetti 19 gil each.
Finally, there are two more optional quests about Louisoa to pick up. Near the main Ul’dah Aetheryte in (8.9, 9.2) is “Remembering The Past” with Nananji, which turns into “Preserving the Future”, rewarding you with an End of Age set for your adventurer plate and the achievement Man , Myth , Legend . However, you must be level 50 for both.
It was much more than usual, but that’s about it FFXIV The tenth anniversary edition of The Rising 2023. That one definitely rose from the ashes of the Moonfire Faire.
