Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker got its first set of tribe quests in patch 6.15, allowing players to help out the Arkasodara for rewards. Our FFXIV guide explains how to unlock the Arkasodara tribe quests and what you can get with the rewards.

Arkasodara quests follow the same rules as the other tribe quests; You can only complete three quests a day and you get a special currency, reputation points, and a ton of EXP for each quest you complete.

After earning a certain amount of reputation points, you’ll rank up with the tribe (allowing you to do three more quests the day you rank up) and unlock more rewards to purchase for their special currency.

You can only do 12 tribe quests per day (across every tribe), so make sure you’re doing the quests you want to each day to avoid missing out on rewards.


How to unlock the Arkasodara tribe quests

In order to start the Arkasodara tribe quests, you’ll need to have the following prerequisites:

Once you do that, you’ll need to head to Thavnair and talk to Kancana for the quest “Hippos Born to Run.” We’ve marked their location below.

Arkasodara tribe quests rewards

For each quest you complete, you’ll earn a Arkasodara Pana, which you can track in your “currency” menu. Depending on your reputation rank, you can use these to buy special rewards from the tribe vendor. We’ve marked their location below.

Notable rewards include the Wind-up Arkasodara minion, the Hippo Cart mount, and special furnishing item, but you’ll need to rank up to higher reputation in order to get the mount.
