The Calamity Retold
- Main article: The Rising (2018)
The Calamity Retold is a level 1 dungeon introduced in patch 4.36 with Stormblood.
The Calamity Retold is a large-scale military exercise hosted by the Immortal Flames, which takes place in-game within an instanced duty. Players can queue up for this duty solo, or with a party of up to 8 players, by talking to any one of the three Rising Recruiters. A total of 142 cross-world players can inhabit an instance at a time, and they may leave or join parties within that instance at will (regardless of who players queued in with). There are no level or ilevel requirements for this duty; all players will be synched to level 50.
In the Steps of Nald, players may participate in a series of five FATEs that mimic the events that took place within Ul'dah on the day of the Calamity. Completion of each FATE will reward the player with Rising Tokens: 20 tokens for a gold rating, 10 tokens for a silver rating, and 5 tokens for a bronze rating. These tokens may be traded to any Rising Attendant for rewards once back outside of the instance.
Once during each FATE, one random player will be selected by the Moogle Adventurer to be transformed into a large moogle. The player who has been transformed then has access to two abilities: Mog Heaven deals damage to an enemy while applying a vulnerability down debuff, while Bring it Pom applies both Recuperation (HP regeneration over time) and Damage Up to all players within a circular AoE range.
This instance was only available for a limited time, during The Rising (2018) event.
