Monthly Stop Asking What to Buy with Login Points Guide

New and returning players can often feel overwhelmed by the number of options to choose from each month's Login Rewards. Without knowing what the items do or how valuable they may be, it can be easy to feel like you might miss out on something important. For the most part, Login Rewards tend to be less impactful than one may think, with many of them being cosmetic options. Most months see a similar base set of rewards on offer, a non-standardized rotation of other items, and (typically) one new cosmetic piece or similar. Priorities on purchasing are mostly just my opinion, so if you feel strongly about something feel free to take it to the Discussion page. Don't be afraid to deviate from recommendations to pick up an item you think looks neat, there is always next month.

As of the November 2025 Version Update, the Login Point system and its rewards were revamped. Going forward, 700 Login Points will carry over to the next month. Bear this number in mind when making purchases, as next month might offer something more interesting to you. The last few days of a Login Campaign's reward acquisition period usually coincide with the announcement of the next month's rewards, allowing for more informed planning.

March 2026 Login Rewards
Item Name	Usage	Priority
5 points Beastmen's Seal Kindred's Seal Kindred's Crest High Kindred's Crest S. Kindred Crest	Seals are used primarily for entering Orb Battlefields. Beastmen's Seals particularly are used to enter the Up in Arms battlefield, which has a miniscule chance of dropping the famous and expensive Kraken Club. If you are below level 99, seals may be valuable for your Genkai quests. If you are 99+, S. Kindred Crests be used to farm Rem's Tale 1-5 for Job-Specific Equipment upgrades.	Medium/High
5 points Cordial Invite Martial Ball Invite Tr. Grounds Key M. Camp Entry Pest Repellent Athena Orb	These items are used to enter themed instances battlefields. There is zero tangible reward for clearing these fights, only a title awarded for each. These are no longer used in Vana'Bout objectives and have very little use outside of it.	Low
5 points Seasoning Stone Fossilized Fang Fossilized Bone	Used to make the level 95 Genkai quest Beyond Infinity substantially easier. They are relatively common drops from mobs you may be exping off of anyways. Only buy for convenience if you didn't get enough for 1-3 Olde Rarab Tails.	Medium, as needed
5 points Cracked Nut	Provides a temporary costume effect.	Low
5 points Glinting Shield Sheep Cap	Lockstyle items. They're cheap, so if you like how they look, it's a fine purchase decision.	Low
5 points ♪Warmachine	Cheap mount. As all mounts have the exact same movement speed, these are simply cosmetic changes. Low practical priority but high aesthetic priority. Again, it's cheap, so no reason not to pick it up if you're missing it.	Low
10 points Drill Calamary Dwarf Pugil	Used to catch high level fish. If you are on a mission to catch every fish or skill up fishing to 110, then buying a few of these is much easier than their regular acquisition from Inside the Belly.	Low
10 points Rounsey Wand	Another lockstyle piece with use for Abyssea procs. The teleport is fairly useless these days, especially with its extremely long cooldown.	Low
10 points Cipher: Najelith Cipher: Zeid Cipher: Luzaf Cipher: Abenzio Cipher: Gilgamesh Cipher: Mayakov Cipher: Maximillian Cipher: Teodor Cipher: Koru-Moru Cipher: Qultada Cipher: King Cipher: Rughadjeen Cipher: Leonoyne Cipher: Robel-Akbel	Cheap trusts! Standouts include: Koru-Moru and King of Hearts, both Red Mage Trusts who offer valuable buffs such as Haste II and debuffs such as Dia III. They're near irreplaceable in a level 99's Trust team. Mayakov can help with Dynamis Procs if farming for Relic Weapons currencies; Qultada, is the only Corsair Trust who uses Phantom Roll, providing strong bonuses such as Corsair's Roll (protip: you can summon him for one fight, get the roll, then dismiss him until the buff needs to be reapplied!) or Chaos Roll, though he is a very poor Skillchain partner. As of this month's Version Update, Trusts will no longer be buffed based on number of present party members after obtaining the Memory Gem, meaning getting to 86 owned Trusts is not be as important as it once was.	High
150 points Rem's Tale Ch.1 Rem's Tale Ch.2 Rem's Tale Ch.3 Rem's Tale Ch.4 Rem's Tale Ch.5	Used in early Reforged armor upgrades. Here's the issue: if you accumulate the maximum amount of Login points in a month (1900) you can purchase a total of 12 of these. That's enough for one (or two, depending on the piece) upgrade, and you are left with no points for anything else. Login points just are not a very efficient method of acquiring these, get out there and use your Macrocosmic Orbs!	Low
150 points Etched Memory	Required to upgrade your Reforged Empyrean Armor to 119. Can be fairly expensive when purchased from other players (~20k+ each). Also available from Sparks. Given how many you need for even the cheapest upgrade (15), I can't recommend spending either Login Points or Sparks for these.	Low
150 points Sheet of Fishing Tunes	Music for your Orchestrion within your Mog House. Most people don't even own an Orchestrion, and YouTube exists if you want to listen to this track at will. Not a high priority.	Low
150 points ♪Byakko ♪Phuabo	Various mounts. As all mounts have the exact same movement speed, these are simply cosmetic changes. Low practical priority but high aesthetic priority.	Low
150 points Mutsunokami Esoteric Athame Diamond Buckler Rarab Cap Mandragora Pot Bud Rod	Mostly lockstyle pieces. Pick up whatever you think is cute. Mutsunokami is valuable for Abyssea procs.	High (Mutsunokami only)
150 points Prishe Statue II Arciela Statue Iroha Statue Lion Statue Lilisette Statue Aphmau Statue	Do you prominently display anime figures in your home? If so, these are the rewards for you. Statues of all the expansions' lead heroines for placement in your Mog House. They have no practical benefit.	Low
500 points Kitchen Brick Kitchen Stove Kitchen Plate	Used to synergize Galley Kitchen, which provides occasional, random food in your Mog House. Most of the known food does not see regular use. It's neat to look at I guess.	Low
500 points Honey Wine Blue Pondweed Beastly Shank	Force spawn items for NQ HNM Kings of yore Fafnir, Behemoth, and Adamantoise. None of their drops have any viable use in endgame. Unless you want their title or a nostalgia trip, this is a huge waste of points.	Low
500 points Rem's Tale Ch.6 Rem's Tale Ch.7 Rem's Tale Ch.8 Rem's Tale Ch.9 Rem's Tale Ch.10	See above recommendations regarding Chapters. These are even worse, as you can only purchase a maximum of four of these.	Low
500 points Codex of Etchings	A better value than purchasing Etched Memory one by one, as 500 points can earn you 4-8 of these. However, again, the cost is not justified by the return on value here.	Low
500 points Facility Ring Caliber Ring	The former increases Capacity Points gained while the latter only increases Experience Points. I can't recommend either at the price, but some new players may find the extra exp valuable if they want to level quickly. If you are already alternating Emperor Band and Echad Ring, you may not need another source of bonus experience points.	Low
500 points Brigand's Chart Pirate's Chart	Used in a mini-quest to obtain the invaluable Fishing ring Penguin Ring and the less useful Albatross Ring, respectively. The fight itself can be awkward solo, but there are PUP and SMN strategies that are reliable. Unless you're an avid Fisherman, these are an easy skip.	Low
1000 points Sweet Tea Red Pondweed Savory Shank	Force spawn items for HQ HNM Kings of yore. Only King Behemoth's Savory Shank has any real value in purchasing, as Defending Ring is still a fantastic item even in endgame. Any player who is level ~80+ should be able to solo this with trusts. Even if you don't need/want Defending Ring, a Savory Shank can sell to other players via Bazaar for several hundred thousand gil. With the addition of Murky Ring and its relative ease of acquisition, Shank values may lower in price. You yourself may also find it a more valuable use of your points to spend them elsewhere and do a single run of Apollyon to skip Defending Ring. Note, however, that the two items can be worn together, thus Murky Ring does not necessarily fully replace Defending Ring.	Medium
1500 points Old Case +1	The big one. Costs essentially all your points for the month. What can you get? Maybe that perfectly augmented +2 JSE Earrings for your favorite job, that one which all the guides say you should use. Or you could get a minimum augment +1 earring for a job you will never, ever play. One could significantly improve your set, the other will earn you about 5,000 gil. The odds are not in your favor. Gamble at your own risk.	Low or High
