The highly anticipated Make It Rain Campaign returns to Final Fantasy XIV, bringing summer excitement to Eorzea. This seasonal event transforms the Manderville Gold Saucer into a hub of enhanced rewards and special activities. The campaign period spans from July 19 at 1:00 AM through August 11 at 7:59 AM PDT, giving players approximately three weeks to participate in the festivities.

Seasonal events like the Make It Rain Campaign provide perfect opportunities for both new and veteran players to accumulate valuable resources while enjoying limited-time content. The 50% MGP bonus applies to all Gold Saucer activities, making this the ideal time to grind for those expensive mounts and glamour items you’ve been eyeing.
Rewards
1. Emote – Vexed
The Vexed emote allows players to express frustration in various in-game situations. Beyond simple roleplaying, this emote serves practical purposes during intense raid discussions or when managing overwhelming quest logs. Many experienced players use it strategically to signal disagreement with party strategies or to indicate they need a moment to process complex mechanics.
2. MGP Bronze Card
This card provides 5,000 MGP (Manderville Gold Saucer Points), representing a significant currency boost. At the Manderville Gold Saucer, players can exchange accumulated MGP for premium prizes including The Crystal Tower striker, Monster Toss machine, and Cuff-a-Cur machine furnishings. During the campaign, these items become available at reduced MGP costs from the event attendant.
3. Heists and High Jinks Journey
Participants can engage in numerous Gold Saucer activities including Chocobo Racing, Triple Triad, Lord of Verminion, Doman Mahjong, Fashion Report, Cactpot, Gate, and various Mini-games. The standout feature is the 50% MGP bonus applied to all earnings during these festivities, dramatically accelerating progress toward high-cost rewards.
How to Participate
1. Reach level 15.
2. Thrill-seekers must finish one of the main scenario quests below:
The Gridanian Envoy
This level 15 quest requires visiting Lotus Stand at coordinates X: 6.2, Y: 6.1 and speaking with Kan-E-Senna to initiate the adventure. Completion rewards include 13,440 experience points, 286 FFXIV Gil, and the Wind-up Airship minion, which can be sold on the market board for approximately 60 Gil.
The Ul’dahn Envoy
Players must locate Raubahn at Ul’dah – Steps of Nald coordinates X: 8.4, Y: 8.9 to receive this level 15 assignment. Successful completion yields 13,440 experience points, 286 Gil, and the Wind-up Airship companion.
The Lominsan Envoy
To undertake this quest, adventurers should proceed to the Command Room at coordinates X: 3.5, Y: 3.4 and consult with Merlwyb, who issues this level 15 mission. Rewards consist of 13,440 experience points, 286 Gil, and the Wind-up Airship minion upon fulfillment.
3. Complete the quest – The Great Horn Heist
Participants need to journey to Ul’dah – Steps of Nald at coordinates X: 9.4, Y: 9.2 and assist Ollier with his intriguing mission. This quest features an engaging narrative with substantial rewards, guiding players through a mysterious adventure where they uncover clues and achieve narrative satisfaction.
Maximizing Your Campaign Experience
To fully capitalize on the Make It Rain Campaign’s 50% MGP bonus, prioritize activities with the highest base payouts. The Fashion Report, when completed correctly, can yield up to 60,000 MGP weekly. Combine this with daily Mini Cactpot tickets and weekly Jumbo Cactpot entries for consistent earnings.
Common mistakes include neglecting the Gate events that spawn every 20 minutes or failing to maintain a consistent Chocobo racing schedule.
For optimal time management, schedule your Gold Saucer sessions during peak activity hours when more players are available for cooperative mini-games. Veteran players recommend dedicating 1-2 hours daily during the campaign to accumulate significant MGP reserves for future purchases.
Remember that seasonal quests like The Great Horn Heist cannot be completed after the event concludes on August 11. Plan your participation schedule accordingly to ensure you don’t miss these exclusive, time-limited rewards.
