Operation Archon continues as we take the fight to the heart of the Garlean Empire's foothold in Eorzea: Castrum Meridianum. If we are to strike at our true target, the Ultima Weapon, we must first take down the shield that protects it. Join us as we continue the Eorzean counteroffensive!

The time has come for a major counter-offensive against the Garlean Empire's ever-tightening grip. Dubbed Operation Archon, this is a 4-phase operation to wrest Eorzean soil back from the invaders and defeat their ultimate weapon. The beginning of the operation rests largely on the shoulders of the Warrior of Light. We must infiltrate Cape Westwind and defeat the Praefectus Rhitahtyn or the entire campaign will falter. Join us for the beginning of Operation Archon as we continue the FFXIV main story quest!

Despite these hazards and our common sense, we delve into this dungeon in pursuit of its reputed glittering treasures of gold and mythril. Join us this episode in our ill-advised venture into the Aurum Vale optional dungeon in Final Fantasy XIV!

The Alchemists guild has worked hard to establish its reputation and earn the trust of common Ul'dahns. They have come a long way from their snake oil-esque roots and strict expectations are made clear to the guild's members. Sadly, the guildmaster himself has missed this memo as he would rather dabble in esoteric science than fulfill his duties. In this episode we endure our tenure as Guildmaster Severian's assistant and find out what has led his attentions astray. Join us as we experience the story of the level 1-50 Alchemist job quests in Final Fantasy XIV.
