How to redeem your FFXIV Dawntrail Pre-order and Registration Code

Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail is just on the horizon, but just like all FFXIV expansions, the biggest challenge may be sorting the registration code. If you’re wondering how to get your code, or where to enter it on the Mog Station, let me help. 

The Square Enix account system is notoriously confusing, but remember a couple of things: PC users that pre-ordered have two codes to redeem, playing in early access does not mean you’re done registering your account, and the codes arrive at separate times.

Where do I get my FFXIV Dawntrail Pre-order Code?

It’s worth noting that if you’ve pre-ordered and you’re wondering how to get your early access, well, access, then you’re likely to already have it. As long as you’ve used your Pre-order Bonus Code, the one which provides you with Azeyma’s Earring and Wind-up Zidane, you’ll be able to play Dawntrail during early access.

If you haven’t redeemed your Dawntrail pre-order code, then search your email, it should have arrived around the same time your order was placed. Only PC and Mac users need this code, players on PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series are already registered for early access at the time of purchase.

Finding your FFXIV Dawntrail Pre-order Code:

• In our experience, the email was titled, “FINAL FANTASY XIV: Dawntrail Pre-order Bonus Items”
• The code in the email was already redeemed if you have the Zidane Minion and Azeyma Earrings
• On PC or Mac, if you do not have the minion or EXP earrings, you don’t have early access
• Copy the code in the red box and visit the Mog Station
• Make sure you’re logged in on the correct account, then select “Enter Pre-order Bonus Code”

How do I redeem my FFXIV Dawntrail Registration Code?

For players who purchase their copy of Dawntrail via the Square Enix Store, your registration code will be sent to the same email the purchase was made through. The Dawntrail Registration Codes roll out on June 24 sequentially, so you may not receive yours at the same time as a friend.

• Remember, you must redeem your Dawntrail Registration Code by July 5, or risk getting booted from FFXIV until doing so.

If you’ve lost access to this email or have accidentally deleted it (don’t worry, it happens), don’t panic. You can still get your code via the Square Enix Store itself:

• Visit the Square Enix Store and log in using the same email used to purchase Dawntrail
• Click your username in the top right corner and select “my orders”
• Find your order for Dawntrail and select “manage” in the top right of the order
• Select “unlock the activation key”

This will take you to a new page and provide you with your registration code, but what to do with it? 

Well, provided it’s after July 2, you’ll need to do the following:

• Head to the Mog Station and find “Enter Expansion Registration Code” on the main page
• Copy and paste the registration code from the Square Enix Store (or your email) into the provided boxes
• Confirm that you want to register your copy of Dawntrail and click “Next”

Congratulations! If you’ve followed these steps, you’re now the proud owner of a fully registered copy of Dawntrail and able to play to your heart’s content!
