FFXIV: How To Get Dragon Quest Items (Breaking Brick Mountains Event)
Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy XIV are having their seasonal crossover with the Breaking Brick Mountains event, a limited period when players can earn exclusive items from Square Enix's Dragon Quest series. Breaking Brick Mountains is currently live and will continue until Thursday, November 11, 2021. The event's questline is relatively short, so players shouldn't have to worry too much about rushing to complete it or finishing it right away, as many players will likely be busy with the Moogle Treasure Trove event as well.
The quest rewards that players can earn from the Dragon Quest event are the comical-looking Thug's Mug helmet and a Wind-up Brickman minion. As for the iconic King Slime Crown, players can purchase it from a unique event vendor for a few Gil, the primary currency in Final Fantasy XIV. During the event, players need to participate in a specific FATE to obtain a required quest item.
To get the Dragon Quest items in Final Fantasy XIV, players need to begin the questline for the Breaking Brick Mountains event by speaking to an NPC named Havak Alvak. He can be found standing at X: 12.1, Y: 8.2 in Ul'dah - Steps of Nald, beside the Chocobokeep. Afterward, the quest will lead players to someone named the Beefy Businessman, located near the Thaumaturge Guild. He will send players on a mission to collect a "chunk of Brickman." To obtain this quest item, players must participate in the "Brick by Stone Brick and Brick by Gold Brick" FATE.
The "Brick by Stone Brick and Brick by Gold Brick" FATE locations in Final Fantasy XIV are accessible in the following areas.
- Central Thanalan (X: 18.0, Y: 23.5), Sil'dih Excavation Site
- Lower La Noscea (X: 27.0, Y: 17.3), Blind Iron Mines
- Upper La Noscea (X: 34.1, Y: 24.1), Camp Bronze Lake
- Central Shroud (X: 23.6, Y: 23.9), Bentbranch Meadows
- North Shroud (X: 15.8, 23.0), Finders' Bluff
The Dragon Quest crossover FATE in Final Fantasy XIV will occur randomly within a fixed location. While players can wait patiently for the FATE to spawn, a better idea would be for players to quickly travel to each zone to see if the FATE has appeared. During this FATE, players will need to fight several waves of Earthen Brickmen. After these minor mobs are defeated, a final showdown with the Stone and Gold Brickman will occur. Once all Brickmen have been defeated, players will receive the chunk of Brickman.
Return to Ul'dah and give the chunk to the Beefy Businessman to receive the Dragon Quest items. Players can buy the King Slime Crown for 57 Gil from Toughie, an event vendor in Ul'dah - Steps of Nald at X:8.2, Y:12.2.
Final Fantasy 14 is available on PC, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4.
