The History of Final Fantasy XI/2014

==2014==
In 2014, Final Fantasy XI saw many substantial quality of life improvements which helped further ease adventuring. A multitude of recurring Adventurer Campaigns started occurring this year, but they were in the infancy stage. They only ran for a few days at a time and at random points in the month.
Seekers of Adoulin's storyline concluded in November. The expansion brought more lore to Vana’diel than ever seen before in Missions or Quests.
Capacity Points and Gifts saw their debut, allowing players to further improve their character’s progression beyond Merit Points.

Jan. 1st, 2014 	From the 1st to the 10th, Jubilant Alicorn roamed Vana’diel.
Trading items to Jubilant Alicorn may have awarded players the new Okadomatsu, or the Tsukubaneita (later renamed to Hagoita). There was nothing special about the furnishing, it only provided Moghancement: Gardening. The club dispenses Ichinintousen Koma fireworks. These fireworks were popular with players, as it was the first of it's kind. It turned players into a spinning top for a small amount of time.	
The New Year’s event moved out of Abyssea and into Xarcabard. Fablinix was in the area with Goblin Year-ringers. When adventurers traded Fablinix a Kadomatsu, they would be awarded with the Ake-Ome Spirit for Monstrosity.

Jan. 1st, 2014 	The first alter ego extravaganza ran from January 1st, 2014 thru February 2nd, 2014.
The offerings for the first go-around were sparse, but this was the first opportunity to obtain the following Trusts:
*Tenzen, Mihli Aliapoh, Valaineral, and Joachim. Lion was mentioned in the event announcement, but she was exclusive to the January 2014 Login Campaign.
All of these trusts became a staple in adventuring. Particularly Joachim with his Bard songs. Players found the fact that he threw pebbles (probably Traverser stones) amusing.

Jan. 10th, 2014	This was the first opportunity to obtain Lion's trust. She was not very noteworthy as far as usefulness. She was, however, a highly sought after trust just for the novelty having her adventure with you once more.
Also of note this was the first time the Goblin Stew 880 was available from the Login Campaigns. Gobbiebag materials were closely controlled by crafters, so the prices were easily manipulated. This item avoided the trouble in gathering materials. To this day it is still a popular item, even if it is obtained by other means now. This is due to the stew costing less than all four items for most late Gobbiebag stages. Not to mention the rarity in even finding the items for sale anymore.
