The exact Rising event window, starting NPC, level requirement, and expiration boundary.
The Rising 2026 runs from August 27 at 00:00 PDT through September 10 at 07:59 PDT. The seasonal quest cannot be completed after the event closes.
Start The Symphony of Life
| Requirement | Answer |
|---|---|
| Quest | The Symphony of Life |
| Level | 15 or higher |
| NPC | Wandering Minstrel |
| Location | Limsa Lominsa, Upper Decks X:11.0 Y:12.8 |
The event page lists a new minion and several event items. Earlier Rising items may also be available from the Rising vendor, but the official page does not promise that every historical reward returns.
Because this is a seasonal quest, accepting it before September 10 is not enough if it remains incomplete when the event ends. Finish the quest and claim its rewards during the published window.
