2) Somehow Further Hildibrand Adventures

"In the wake of further alien-related mishaps, Hildibrand and his crew are joined by the inspector's flat-featured clone, Brandihild. Thus reinforced, the group is even better equipped to find trouble as they continue digging into the whereabouts of PuPu's elusive friend."

The Hildibrand side quests are among the most fun things you can do in Final Fantasy 14. In addition, you must complete them if you want to upgrade your Manderville Relic Weapon in the Endwalker expansion.

Each expansion of Final Fantasy 14 has a relic weapon, and Endwalker even featured crafting relic tools. If you’re up to date on what you need to do for the Manderville Relic Weapon, you can take the next step in patch 6.45.

The same goes for the Splendorous Tools crafting gear. The next update will offer at least one more quest for both of these weapons, though it’s unclear if it will be the final step or not.

4) New Dungeons - Variant and Criterion

The Variant and Criterion dungeons are challenging new areas for players to go through in Final Fantasy 14. The new dungeon, Mount Rokkon is the new Variant type. There’s also the Criterion dungeon in both Normal and Savage difficulties - Another Mount Rokkon.

However, you can unlock a gorgeous new mount for completing the Savage version of the dungeon, so it’s worth doing for that alone. If you’re looking for a challenge, head to these and bring all the skill you can muster.
