10/4/2025 HorizonXI’s Mog House Meeting transcript

Meowdy! Me again with more transcripts of HorizonXI news. The stream occurred on 10/4/2025 and is the highly anticipated Rebase and Treasures Roadmap update. ~~Thankfully, there is a VOD to reference (last MHM had no VOD) so if you missed it, see below.~~

The VOD was sadly removed (thanks Twitch…) so I’ve uploaded a copy to YT here. This video is not mine. I’m posting it until HorizonXI has their own on YT. 0 edits or changes, including the title which is pulled from the Twitch VOD.

The stream was over 2 hours long so I plan on highlighting server news rather than community news. If I missed something you wanted to read about, let me know and I’ll work on getting it added.

Community Note: the Vegas meetup got a special shoutout. I want to highlight DA’s work in making that event happen. Also, sharing the survey here so Hugin doesn’t yell at me: click!

TL;DR

There is no date for rebase implementation or Treasures release. Staff have refused to share these due to pressure from the community. However, based on what was shared: I’m on the copium that we will see rebase completed and implemented by December 2025. If that happens, then we could see Treasures as early as Q1 2026.

Additionally, I wanted to note here that many folks are concerned about manaburning dynamis. We don’t know what future changes will be so don’t stress right now and just focus on clearing your dynas. Players have always adapted to these changes and this is nothing new.

Rebase Status Update

The big news HorizonXI staff started with was around the rebase. Beasty gave an overall status update of what is currently working. Please note that for Missions and Quests, your “in progress” status WILL BE RESET when Rebase is implemented. This includes CoP mission progression, quest mission progression, such as AF, and so on.

For example: If you are on CoP Three Paths (5-3) and complete one path but leave the other 2 open. When rebase releases, you will have to repeat that same path and start from the beginning of 5-3.

The ONLY things that will not be reset include: relic weapon progression, Maat’s cap progression, and Lu Shang’s fishing rod progression. This is still subject to change but it’s incredibly important to call out for folks playing.

He also shared the progress of which items still need work.

Beasty shared the majority of standard BCNMs are working as intended. For KSNMs, over 50% are working and the staff plan to share which aren’t working but the ultimate goal is to complete them all before Rebase implementation. For ENMs, it’s a bit more complicated. The goal is to have all functional just not immediately on release. Currently, the “popular” ones (specifically Fire in the Sky, Antlion, Shell We Dance) are completed and in LSB. Keep an eye out here for ones that may impact your gameplay on release.

Additionally, internal rebase testing is ongoing. This means HorizonXI staff and devs are currently testing rebase progress and fixing known bugs.

Rebase Testing

Want to help? Keep an eye out for open beta later in October. This is where the test server is open to everyone to identify and share bugs. Staff shared the 3 tiers (early, mid, and endgame) for testing to make it easier for folks to attempt content. This also means players will receive rewards for finding bugs.

Staff directly shared players are encouraged to test and break any and everything. There are a total of 5 cosmetics we can receive for testing based on 5 tiers below.

TLDR – play on the test server at the end of October, find and break things, get cosmetics. Easy peasy~

Treasures of Aht Urhgan

After rebase implementation on HorizonXI with current features (both era and era+) functional, staff will focus on the Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion (ToAU). They shared the newly released HorizonXI banner for Treasures, designed by Utsu. You can see it at the top of this page.

~~After rebase but before Treasures, HorizonXI staff plan to do a patch with some adjustments and corrections. This should hopefully help balance things before Treasures drops.~~

Note: It was shared that this pre-patch is the same patch as the rebase patch mentioned above. I misunderstood the commentary and was thinking it was two separate, but noting here it is the SAME patch.

Full magic weapon skills are coming back with adjustments to the weapon skills. Staff specifically called out the understanding that many players use THF or /THF to rely on landing WSs 100% of the time for SCs. They are hoping these adjustments will allow for more variety of gameplay and WSs used.

Here they called out the Missions and Quests impact from rebase. Again, your “in progress” status WILL RESET when Rebase is implemented. This includes CoP mission progression, quest mission progression, such as AF, and so on. Complete the quests and missions you have now before rebase!

Treasures releases as patch 2.0 and includes everything in the slide above. Note that Treasures missions only go to 18 on release so there will be no rush to grind.

Another note is the Mog Wardrobe 3 says PROGRESSION so you will have to unlock it over time. Don’t set your expectations too high for another instant 80 inventory.

The meta + game balance adjustments are yet another patch to rebalance the game. This occurs in rebase, as previously mentioned, as well as here. Staff did add comments of play and find out (PAFO) for the exp/merit camps and HELM rebalance.

Treasures Roadmap

Above is the overall roadmap, similar to what we saw back on the 7/23/2023 Mog House Meeting. By Patch 2.3, all Assaults will be released. Staff did share Patch 2.3 is a huge patch and may be dispersed into 2.4. However, everything through Patch 2.2 is currently being worked on and developed.

There was also mention of Besieged and how the Astral Candescence will work before Besieged is released. Details here will be shared by staff later on during development.

HorizonXI staff also specifically called out the 12/17/2025 anniversary and how there will be events planned: 1 fun and 1 “very important”.

Questions and Answers

I’m going to call out here how some players ask truly terrible and unrelated questions. It wastes a large portion of staff’s time answering as well as other players for waiting on their questions in the queue. Please, do better.

Q: MogBonanza?
A: Rebase and Treasures first.

Q: Relics considerations for balance and planning future content?
A: No, it just makes content easier but will never be a requirement.

Q: Are there any era+ items/content left in the game the players don’t currently know about?
A: All NMs discovered. If there’s anything not discovered, it could be on gear such as martial gear. In the future, staff plan on changing their approach to era+ gear and hidden stats.

Q: Ballista?
A: Rebase and Treasures first.

Q: Will HAAP rewards and progress be impacted by the rebase?
A: No, though rebase is aiming to remove the “cheesing” of the system.

Q: Will rebase affect addons or plugins?
A: No. Newer versions of Ashita may not be compatible.

Q: Mythics plans and rebalancing?
A: Reevaluating the process to acquire a mythic and what it does for the job. Staff want them to be difficult to obtain and special. Will have a future stream to discuss.

Q: Staff’s opinion on manaburning?
A: Staff specifically made BLMs burns a viable exping option. Will be looking to adjust the nuke wall and nuke cleaving (AOE mobs with spells) in the future with rebase. Shouldn’t affect most normal mobs but may have dynamis impacts. (Included the link in the Q for folks to listen to the quote directly.)

Q: Rebase and enmity and hate system changes?
A: No.

Q: HorizonXI’s approach to PUP?
A: Far more serviceable than era in terms of things you can do with the puppet.

Q: Treasures date?
A: Not sharing at this time.

Q: PVP events?
A: Yes, planning for the future.

Q: Ironman testing?
A: Completed. Will be developed further in the future.

MHM Event!

The newer HorizonXI team created an event where players had to turn into a penguin and race up the Attohwa Chasm mountain. The reward was a cute little club that allows players to costume as a penguin on their own.

Note the event only lasted 24 hours. When I checked, nearly 900 players had completed the mountain climb. Let’s hope we see this come back as a future event for those who missed out.
