The Elite Adventurer Training Program

Event Period

• Friday, May 15, 2026, at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) to Tuesday, June 9, at 7:59 a.m.

Walkthrough

Speak with a moogle at one of the following locations to get the Sh. Moogle Rod.

• • Southern San d'Oria (I-8)
  • Bastok Markets (F-8)
  • Windurst Waters (F-9)

With the Sh. Moogle Rod equipped, speak to the Erudite Moogle in one of the following locations to take on "The Elite Adventurer Training Program" minigame.

• • Southern San d'Oria (J-9)
  • Bastok Markets (F-8)
  • Windurst Waters (F-9)

The overall idea of the game is to disarm all 16 traps to gain points before your Enchanting Energy (shown as Mog Energy) runs out, by using the emotes below:

Equipping the Sh. Moogle Rod starts points at 1 and increases for each successive trap you disarm. 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> etc.

Equipping the the Sh. Moogle Rod +1 makes the starting reward 2 points and the total grows regularly from there. 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> etc.

Emotes
Emote	Notes
/stare motion	Used to discover if a trap is present in the area, the Sh. Moogle Rod will respond if so. You will lose Enchanting Energy accordingly.
/slap motion	Disarms the trap, replenishes Enchanting Energy if successful. The trap must be targeted within 3 seconds or you'll get binded and have to find another trap.
/poke motion	Opens doors while costumed. The door must be targeted.

• The traps are located at the same place for each game.
