During today's Letter from the Producer LIVE, FFXIV producers Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida and Toshio "Foxclon" Murouchi revealed the schedule of events from now until the release of Dawntrail. With just over two months left before the expansion releases, there's a lot for players to look forward to before then.
Two highly anticipated collaboration events are returning to the game. Aside from that, the Moogle Treasure Trove and Make It Rain Campaign are starting up again. For the full schedule, check the graphic and list below.

Yo-kai Watch Collaboration Event (April 24–June 26)
The Yo-kai Watch Collaboration Event is one that hasn't come to the game since 2020. After four years with no chance of picking up the exclusive mounts or minions, it's no surprise that fans have gotten antsy about when it'll come around again. Starting April 24, those who haven't had an opportunity yet will finally get their shot at snagging all sorts of cute minions and mounts. The event will be running for almost two full months, so you'll have plenty of time to collect everything.
Moogle Treasure Trove—The Second Hunt for Genesis (May 14–June 25)
The Moogle Treasure Trove is coming back on May 14, and with it will come a whole new collection of items to trade Irregular Tomestones of Genesis II for. The list of rewards has already been datamined, but keep in mind that they may be subject to change, as they haven't been officially announced by Square Enix.
Make It Rain Campaign (May 15–May 31)
A recurring event that most players will recognize, the Make It Rain Campaign is a perfect chance to farm MGP. Maybe you're running low from buying the FFXV and FFXVI crossover items, or you're just looking to save up for something like the Blackjack mount. Either way, it's the perfect chance to put those Gold Saucer VIP Cards to good use and grind out some Fashion Reports, tournaments, and more.
Dragon Quest X Collaboration Event (June 5–June 21)
While perhaps not as asked after as the Yo-kai Watch Collaboration, the Dragon Quest X Collaboration is another one that hasn't been seen in-game in a few years. Its rewards aren't quite as generous as the other's, but they're still worth picking up, especially since they don't take much effort to get. There are two pieces of gear and a minion available from this event, and you'll have just over two weeks to get them.
Aside from the big seasonal events, fans can look forward to two more Live Letters and a Media Tour to keep them busy before Dawntrail drops at the end of June. Aside from that... well, it might be good to start planning what you'll do for that maintenance. After all, 48 hours is a long time.
