- Crafter and Gatherer Content, “Ishgard Restoration” – Players across Worlds will work together to restore the Firmament district to its former glory. Through collecting and crafting construction materials or completing various tasks, each player may contribute in their own unique way, and receive various rewards for their contributions to the restoration project.
