What is the Manderville Gold Saucer

The Manderville Gold Saucer is a vibrant entertainment hub within Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV), mirroring the iconic Gold Saucer from Final Fantasy VII.

How to Access the Manderville Gold Saucer

To enter the Manderville Gold Saucer, you must first complete a specific quest. This quest, “It Could Happen to You,” is accessible at level 15 in Ul’dah. Locate Well-heeled Youth at the Steps of Nald (X: 9.6 Y: 9.0) to initiate the quest. Crucially, you need to have finished the main scenario quests, including “The Gridanian Envoy,” “The Ul’dahn Envoy,” or “The Lominsan Envoy,” prior to starting this quest.

What is Manderville Gold Saucer Points (MGP)

MGP, or Manderville Gold Saucer Points, is the in-game currency used exclusively within the Gold Saucer. Players earn MGP by actively participating in its various games and activities. Unlike in-game currency (Gil), MGP cannot be bought; it’s entirely earned through play. New players can, however, purchase MGP with Gil by speaking to the Gold Saucer Attendant at Entrance Square (X:4.8 Y:6.7) upon entering.
