Where to Get the Free Fantasia in Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail
The free Fantasia can be obtained by speaking with the Medicine Merchant NPC and completing the Bottled Fantasy quest in Ul’dah – Steps of Thal (X:13.4 Y:9.2). This quest is available for all players who have completed the Main Scenario Quest “The Scions of the Seventh Dawn”, a Level 17 quest from early A Realm Reborn. In other words, even new players won’t have any trouble unlocking it as it’s one of the very first mandatory quests in the game.
After accepting the quest, all you have to do is head to the Steps of Nald and speak to the NPC there, then return to the Medicine Merchant to complete the quest. Once that’s done, you’ll be rewarded with the Fantasia, no questions asked.
This quest serves as an introduction to Fantasia. This item lets you change any aspect of your character’s appearance, from small details such as your eyes’ color to even changing to a completely new race. If you feel like just another generical Miqo’te in the dim streets of Limsa Lominsa at night, this is your chance to try being a Lalafell for once!

Also added to Dawntrail is a new functionality for vials of Fantasia. Players can now re-edit their character up to 60 in-game minutes after finishing their changes. That beautiful character you just made in the creator might not look as good as you imagined in the actual game, so use this chance to fix any detail that bothers you during this period of grace. There’s no limit to how many times you can re-customize yourself, so you’re free to try out multiple races to see which one you prefer the most.
How to Get More Fantasia
Another Fantasia can be obtained by completing the A Realm Reborn base expansion, ending in the quest “The Ultimate Weapon”. Both of these can be obtained by Free Trial players, but they won’t be able to make Viera or Hrothgar characters, as both of these require having bought the Shadowbringers expansion. Getting free vials of Fantasia is quite rare, so make good use of yours when starting your journey through Dawntrail.
Outside of the rare free vials, you can also purchase them from the FFXIV online store, and their prices are listed below:
- One phial of Fantasia: $10 USD
- Three phials of Fantasia: $28 USD
- Five phials of Fantasia: $45 USD
If you choose to purchase them, log into the game and collect them from any Moogle postman.
How to Use Fantasia
Using the vial of Fantasia in FFXIV is pretty easy. Once you have it in your inventory, open it and right-click on the vial of Fantasia and choose to use it. Then, log out of the game and log back in.
The next time you log in, you’ll be able to redo your character entirely, allowing you to customize their physical appearance and attributes from scratch. As mentioned previously, the game now allows you to re-edit your character within 60 in-game minutes after confirming your changes. This should allow you more leeway with customizing your character just the way you like it, and to make sure they look good in the game itself.
And that’s how to get your free Fantasia in FFXIV Dawntrail. Be sure to search up The Escapist for more tips and information on the game, including how to get all mounts, and how to play Viper and Pictomancer.
Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail is now available on Early Access, with the official release scheduled for July 2nd.
