During A Nocturne of Heroes 2021, FFXIV players were able to complete quests to earn rewards, one of which was the Unidentified Magitek.
Overview
Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) is a popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG).
It was originally launched for PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows in August 2013, as a successor to the unsuccessful 2010 version of the game. It was later released for Mac operating system, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
The game takes place in the fantasy world of Eorzea, five years after the events of the original 2010 release. At the end of the initial game, Bahamut, the primal dragon escapes from its lunar prison.
He escaped to initiate the Seventh Umbral Calamity, an apocalyptic event that destroyed most of Eorzea.
Thanks to the gods’ blessing, the players escaped the havoc by time traveling five years into the future. As Eorzea recovers and rebuilds, players must face the impending threat of invasion by the Garlean Empire from the north.
FFXIV features an immersive world in which players are able to interact with other players and the environment.
However, before players can enter the world, they need to create and customize a digital avatar. They are able to choose a race, facial features, name, starting class and a gender.
Unlike the original game, they may only choose to be a Disciple of War or Disciple of Magic. Disciples of the Land and Hand are initially locked. Once players have reached a certain level, they will be able to take on the Disciples of the Land or Disciple of Hand jobs.
Disciples of the Land are the harvesters. They procure materials from the lands of Eorzea and take them to be used by the Disciples of the Hand. These players have the ability to use materials to craft new objects.
It is believed that they are the backbone of the Eorzean economy. It is important to note that classes within this discipline do not participate in battle. Instead, they earn their levels by crafting various new items.
FFXIV invites players to participate in multiple activities. However, it is recommended that they first follow the main quests before participating in other adventures. They are then able to complete various side quests, class and job quests.
The developers of the game occasionally host various in-game events throughout the year. During A Nocturne of Heroes 2021, players were able to complete a series of quests with the hero from FFXV, Noctis.
It is believed that he showed up in FFXIV due to some experiment. It was up to the players to help him return to his world. While doing the quests, players had to complete a FATE called Like Clockwork.
For completing this FATE, they received a mysterious item called Unidentified Magitek as a reward.
FFXIV: Unidentified Magitek
Many players did not know what they had to do with this mysterious item. However, they had to give it to the Ironworks Hand vendors. These specific non-player characters (NPCs) can be found in four locations in the FFXIV.
Even though they are primarily in the three capital cities, one can be found close to the Like Clockwork event. It was located at Black Brush Station.
It is important to note that all of the Ironworks Hand Vendors had the same inventory. Players were able to purchase various Orchestrion Rolls from the vendors. The rolls all feature different music pieces from FFXV.
Players who wished to earn more Unidentified Magitek had to complete the Like Clockwork FATE multiple times. They earned roughly two to three of the mysterious every time they completed the FATE.
During the event, there were six Orchestrion Rolls available to purchase at the vendors. This means that players who wanted to collect all six, had to complete Like Clockwork several times. Some players decided to farm the resource to purchase all of the roll’s multiple times.
It is believed that players are now selling their rolls, as the event concluded on 18 October 2021. However, these items are currently very expensive. Players should thus be prepared to pay a lot for them, should they wish to purchase it.
Conclusion
FFXIV offers players a variety of activities to participate in, and it occasionally hosts in-game events. During A Nocturne of Heroes 2021, players had to complete Like Clockwork FATE.

The rolls feature different music pieces from FFXV. Since the event is over, players are selling their rolls in-game, however, it is believed that they are very expensive.
