The exact event deadline, quest start, named quest rewards, vendor location, and expiration boundary for The Rising 2026.
The Rising 2026 ends Thursday, September 10 at 7:59 a.m. PDT. Start and finish The Symphony of Life before that deadline—accepting the quest is not enough because seasonal quests 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 |
Rewards and vendor items
The official event page lists the Wind-up Wuk Lamat minion. Square Enix's event blog separately says that progressing through the seasonal quest awards these three orchestrion rolls:
- Matoya's Cave (Modulation)
- Eternal Wind (Modulation)
- To Zanarkand (Modulation)
The same official blog places the Rising vendor on the Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks at X:11.7 Y:13.6 and names three legacy furnishings sold there: Tabletop Rising MMXXV Advertisement, The Rising MMXXV Advertisement, and The Rising MMXIV Advertisement. These vendor purchases are separate from the quest rewards above.
The event page says some items from earlier versions may be available, but it does not promise that every historical Rising reward returns. Check the vendor before the deadline instead of relying on an old complete-reward list.
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.
