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.

July 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 as needed for desired use
5 points Cordial Invite Martial Ball Invite Tr. Grounds Key Athena Orb M. Camp Entry	These items are used to enter themed instanced battlefields. There is zero tangible reward for clearing these fights, only a title awarded for each. These are mostly 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.	As needed
5 points Pungent Powder	Provides a temporary costume effect.	Low
5 points Astral Cube	Sit on an invisible chair with /sitchair 10.	Low
5 points ♪Bomb	Various mounts. As all mounts have the exact same movement speed, these are simply cosmetic changes. Low practical priority but high aesthetic priority.	Low
5 points Excalipoor Snoll Masque	Cosmetic Lockstyle equipment. The +1 version of Excalipoor offers a unique joke Weapon Skill. The +1 version of Snoll Masque dispenses fairly useless food.	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 Cipher: Margret Cipher: Naja Cipher: Luzaf Cipher: Lhu Cipher: Areuhat Cipher: Mayakov Cipher: Mildaurion Cipher: Maximilian Cipher: S. Sibyl Cipher: Kuyin Cipher: Mnejing Cipher: Ovjang Cipher: Domina Cipher: Leonoyne	Cheap trusts! Buy them all. Standouts include: Star Sibyl and Kuyin, both are unkillable passive Trusts who provide a Geomancy aura buff; Mayakov, who can assist in Dynamis currency farming via Job Ability Procs.	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. Even carrying over 700 brings you to 16. That's enough for one or two (maybe three, 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! Completing just one battlefield on Very Easy can net you between two and five Chapters. Even if you have zero Sacred Kindred's Crests, purchasing 20 for 100 Login Points is still more efficient than purchasing an equal amount of Chapters at 150 each.	Skip
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.	Skip
150 points Crimson Chest	Furniture for your Mog House. No unique effects or substantial Storage additions offered.	Low
150 points Moogle Bed Leafkin Bed Colibri Bed	More furniture. Their unique effects reduce the amount of experience lost upon being KO'd by 5%. Experience loss is not as big of a deal as it used to be back in the day, these are mostly just for looks.	Low
150 points Kupon A-AHM	Can be traded for the a full set of Ark Angel Hume Lockstyle gear. Can be worn by any race. Looks cool, but the gear itself offers no stats.	Low
150 points ♪Xzomit ♪Craklaw	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 Redeyes Ark Saber Ark Sword Heartstopper	Lockstyle pieces with no practical uses outside of Abyssea procs, though the Saber and Sword's delays make them a worse option than other items which are just as easily obtained. The sunglasses look cool though.	Low
150 points Ryofu Uchiwa	This month's new Lockstyle item. No effects and no +1 version.	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 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 Patio Design Plans	Changes the look of your Mog House second floor. Have you ever even been to your second floor? Did you even know you could have one?	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, and full-timing Jubilee Ring, you may not need another source of bonus experience points.	Low
500 points Fisherman's Feast	Incredibly useful food for skilling up Fishing. However, you will be absolutely flooded with these if you are completing your Fishing Reel Endurance Records of Eminence objectives.	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 7,000 gil. The odds are not in your favor. Gamble at your own risk.	Low or High
