FFXIV PvP Series 12 rewards give players a fresh set of collectibles to earn through the Series Malmstones system introduced for Patch 7.56. The reward track includes Half-rim Spectacles, two Grand Company-themed Framer’s Kits, the Little Red Viking minion, thousands of Trophy Crystals, and the headline Rocket Punch mount at Series Level 25.

For collectors, FFXIV PvP Series 12 is one of the most straightforward reward tracks in Patch 7.56.
There is no complicated raid lockout, rare drop chance, crafting requirement, or high-ranked PvP placement attached to the main Series rewards. Instead, players earn Series EXP by participating in PvP, increase their Series level, and unlock rewards at predetermined Malmstones.
Square Enix confirmed that Series 12 began with Patch 7.56 and lasts until the release of Patch 8.0. Series EXP and Series level were reset when the new Series began, while Trophy Crystals already owned carried forward.
The reward track has five major collectible milestones:
Series Level 5 – Half-rim Spectacles. A facewear unlock that gives players another customizable eyewear option.
Series Level 10 – Order of the Twin Adder Framer's Kit. Unlocks a Grand Company-themed background, frame, and accent for portraits.
Series Level 15 – Little Red Viking. A mechanical minion and one of the major collectible rewards in the middle of the track.
Series Level 20 – Immortal Flames Framer's Kit. Another portrait customization package, this time themed around the Immortal Flames.
Series Level 25 – Rocket Punch Identification Key. The main Series 12 prize, which unlocks the one-seat Rocket Punch mount.
Between those major milestones, almost every level awards 1,000 Trophy Crystals, giving players additional value even when they are not unlocking a unique cosmetic.
The biggest goal for most collectors is therefore simple: reach Series Level 25 and claim the Rocket Punch Identification Key.
Series 12 uses FFXIV's Series Malmstones system.
Participating in PvP earns Series EXP. Once enough EXP is accumulated, your Series level increases and the reward associated with that Malmstone becomes available.
Square Enix describes a Series as a specific PvP reward period. Rewards change when a new Series begins, and any Series rewards you already earned remain claimable until the following Series ends.
That distinction is important because Series rewards are not the same thing as Crystalline Conflict season rewards.
Your Series level does not depend on achieving Bronze, Silver, Gold, Crystal, or another ranked tier. Series progression is based on participation and Series EXP.
You can therefore earn Series 12 rewards by playing supported PvP content without becoming a ranked Crystalline Conflict player.
There is no special Series 12 quest or separate reward-track registration.
Once PvP is available on your character, participating in eligible PvP content automatically contributes Series EXP toward your current Series level.
Your progress can be checked through:
Character → PvP Profile → Series Malmstones
The interface shows your current level, current Series EXP, EXP required for the next Malmstone, unlocked rewards, and upcoming rewards. Square Enix specifically directs players to this menu when checking Series 12 progression.
Series 12 starts at Series Level 1 with 0 Series EXP. As you progress, most levels award Trophy Crystals, while Levels 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 contain the main exclusive rewards.
Series Level 2 – 2,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 3 – 4,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 4 – 6,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 5 – 8,000 total Series EXP: Half-rim Spectacles
Series Level 6 – 11,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 7 – 14,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 8 – 17,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 9 – 20,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 10 – 23,000 total Series EXP: Order of the Twin Adder Framer's Kit
Series Level 11 – 27,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 12 – 31,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 13 – 35,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 14 – 39,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 15 – 43,000 total Series EXP: Little Red Viking minion
Series Level 16 – 48,500 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 17 – 54,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 18 – 59,500 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 19 – 65,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 20 – 70,500 total Series EXP: Immortal Flames Framer's Kit
Series Level 21 – 78,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 22 – 85,500 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 23 – 93,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 24 – 100,500 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 25 – 108,000 total Series EXP: Rocket Punch Identification Key
Series Level 26 – 118,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 27 – 128,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 28 – 138,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 29 – 148,000 total Series EXP: 1,000 Trophy Crystals
Series Level 30 – 158,000 total Series EXP: 5,000 Trophy Crystals
After Level 30, Series progression continues through extra levels. These are mainly useful for players who want to keep earning Trophy Crystals after securing all of the unique Series 12 milestone rewards.
The most important collectible checkpoints are Level 5 for Half-rim Spectacles, Level 10 for the Twin Adder Framer's Kit, Level 15 for Little Red Viking, Level 20 for the Immortal Flames Framer's Kit, and Level 25 for the Rocket Punch mount.
For players focused only on the exclusive Series 12 collectibles, Series Level 25 is the main completion target.
The first unique reward arrives very quickly.
At Series Level 5, requiring 8,000 total Series EXP, players receive:
The Faces We Wear – Half-rim Spectacles
Using the item permanently unlocks Half-rim Spectacles facewear for character customization. The facewear supports multiple color variations rather than functioning like a traditional fixed-color head-slot equipment piece.
Level 5 is a very accessible stopping point for players who only want the eyewear.
You need just 8,000 Series EXP from the start of the track.
That is only a small fraction of the 108,000 EXP required to reach the Level 25 mount, making the spectacles easy to collect even for players who normally spend very little time in PvP.
They are also a permanent customization unlock, so once the item is used, you do not need to keep it sitting in your inventory.
Players interested in glamour and character appearance should therefore consider at least reaching Level 5 even if they have no intention of completing the entire Series.
The next major milestone is Series Level 10.
You need 23,000 total Series EXP to reach it.
The reward is:
Order of the Twin Adder Framer's Kit
The kit unlocks portrait customization elements themed around Gridania's Order of the Twin Adder.
Specifically, the kit contains:
Background / Frame / Accent
for use with portrait customization.
The reward itself is granted through the Series Malmstones track rather than through Grand Company rank progression.
The theme is based on the Order of the Twin Adder, but the important requirement for earning the Series reward is reaching Level 10.
Players collecting Framer's Kits or building themed Adventurer Plate and portrait designs therefore gain another permanent set of visual customization options.
Level 10 is also where Series progression begins to feel slightly slower than the opening levels because the EXP requirements between later Malmstones gradually increase.
Still, 23,000 total EXP remains far below the Level 25 requirement.
At Series Level 15, Series 12 introduces its first major companion collectible.
The reward is:
Little Red Viking
You need 43,000 total Series EXP to unlock it.
The Little Red Viking is a Poppet-type minion. Its in-game lore describes it as an automaton previously connected to PvP warfare that was salvaged and repurposed as a companion.
Little Red Viking is likely to be one of the most desirable Series 12 rewards for minion collectors.
It also represents a useful psychological midpoint.
By Level 15, you have accumulated 43,000 EXP, but the Rocket Punch mount requires 108,000.
That means reaching the minion does not mean the mount grind is almost finished.
You still need:
65,000 additional Series EXP
to reach Level 25.
This is worth understanding before starting because Series progression becomes more expensive at higher levels.
The early Malmstones arrive quickly. Later milestones take substantially more PvP participation.
The fourth unique reward arrives at Series Level 20.
You need 70,500 total Series EXP.
The reward is:
Immortal Flames Framer's Kit
Like the Twin Adder reward, this kit unlocks:
Background / Frame / Accent
for portrait customization, this time themed around Ul'dah's Immortal Flames.
Once you reach Level 20, the final unique reward is much closer.
Rocket Punch requires 108,000 Series EXP.
That leaves:
37,500 Series EXP
between Level 20 and Level 25.
However, those final levels each demand significantly more EXP than the early Malmstones.
Levels 20 through 24 require 7,500 EXP per step, followed by the jump into Level 25.
So while the finish line is clearly visible, the last portion of the reward track represents a meaningful part of the total grind.
This is the reward most players will be chasing.
At Series Level 25, requiring 108,000 total Series EXP, players unlock:
Rocket Punch Identification Key
Using the Identification Key unlocks the Rocket Punch mount.
Rocket Punch is a one-seat airborne mount.
Its design is exactly as unusual as its name suggests: a ridable machine built in the shape of a giant fist.
For mount collectors, this makes Series Level 25 the main target of PvP Series 12.
You do not need to complete Level 30.
You do not need to reach a specific Crystalline Conflict ranking.
You do not need a particular number of PvP victories.
You simply need enough Series EXP to reach Level 25 and then claim the identification key through Series Malmstones.
No.
The Identification Key is listed as unique, untradable, and market prohibited.
That means you cannot purchase the mount from another player or obtain the Series 12 version through the Market Board.
If you want the Series 12 reward during its active reward period, you need to earn the appropriate Malmstone yourself through PvP progression.
The five major reward checkpoints are easy to remember:
Level 5 — 8,000 EXP
Half-rim Spectacles.
Level 10 — 23,000 EXP
Order of the Twin Adder Framer's Kit.
Level 15 — 43,000 EXP
Little Red Viking.
Level 20 — 70,500 EXP
Immortal Flames Framer's Kit.
Level 25 — 108,000 EXP
Rocket Punch Identification Key.
This progression becomes increasingly expensive.
The jump from the beginning to the first reward is only 8,000 EXP.
The jump from Level 15 to Level 25 alone costs 65,000 EXP.
Players who want every unique reward should therefore expect the second half of the Series track to take considerably longer than the first.
Unique collectibles receive most of the attention, but Trophy Crystals make up the majority of Series 12 Malmstones.
Players receive 1,000 Trophy Crystals at most levels that do not contain one of the five main cosmetic rewards.
By the time you reach Level 25, you will have unlocked:
19,000 Trophy Crystals
Check out some of our most popular Final Fantasy XIV services:
from Series Malmstones.
If you continue through Level 30, the total rises to:
28,000 Trophy Crystals
because Levels 26 through 29 award another 1,000 each and Level 30 grants 5,000. The Series continues beyond Level 30 through extra levels, where further Trophy Crystal rewards can be earned.
Trophy Crystals are a PvP currency.
They can be exchanged at Wolves' Den Pier for PvP-related rewards. Square Enix's official PvP guide confirms that both Trophy Crystals and Wolf Marks can be traded for items there.
Patch 7.5 also expanded the Trophy Crystal exchange by making a number of rewards from previous PvP Series available through the currency system.
This makes Trophy Crystals more valuable than simple filler between Series milestones.
Even if the Series 12 Framer's Kits or minion do not interest you, completing the track can provide currency toward other PvP collectibles.
The reward system is intentionally simple.
You unlock Series 12 rewards by earning Series EXP through PvP.
Supported activities award Series EXP based on participation and performance.
The current base rewards documented for the main PvP modes include:
Crystalline Conflict: 900 Series EXP for a win and 700 for a loss.
Rival Wings: 1,250 Series EXP for a win and 750 for a loss.
Frontline: 1,500 for first place, 1,250 for second, and 1,000 for third.
The Daily Challenge: Frontline also provides an additional Series EXP reward.
This reward-focused article does not need to turn into another leveling guide, but the important takeaway is:
You do not need a perfect win rate to unlock Series 12 rewards.
Losses still give Series EXP.
That means every properly completed PvP match pushes your character closer to the next Malmstone.
No.
This is one of the most important things for new PvP players to understand.
Series Malmstones and Crystalline Conflict ranked seasons are separate systems.
Square Enix's PvP documentation distinguishes Series rewards from ranked-season rewards. Series EXP is earned by participating in PvP and increasing your Series level, while ranked Crystalline Conflict uses its own competitive structure.
Therefore, you can obtain:
Half-rim Spectacles.
Both Framer's Kits.
Little Red Viking.
Rocket Punch.
without pursuing a high competitive rank.
You can play PvP because you want the reward track rather than because you want to compete for ranking placement.
Unlocking a Malmstone and actually claiming its reward are separate steps.
Once you reach the required Series level, open:
Character → PvP Profile → Series Malmstones
From there, select the unlocked reward to claim it.
Square Enix specifically states that Series progression and rewards can be checked through the Series Malmstones page in the PvP Profile.
An important rule applies to Series rewards:
Earned rewards remain claimable through the following Series, but not indefinitely.
The official PvP guide explains that rewards earned during one Series can be claimed until the next Series ends.
This means finishing a reward level does not make the item permanently available in the interface forever.
Claim rewards when you earn them.
It prevents a situation where you return several Series later and discover that an old collectible can no longer be obtained through the Previous Series claim menu.
Yes—but only if you already earned them.
When Series 12 began, Series 11 progression ended. However, Square Enix confirmed that rewards earned during Series 11 can still be claimed until the end of Series 12.
To check:
Character → PvP Profile → Series Malmstones → Previous Series
This is worth doing immediately if you participated in Series 11.
There is an important difference between claiming and earning.
If you reached a Series 11 Malmstone but forgot to click the reward, you can still claim it.
If you were one level short of a Series 11 reward when Series 12 began, you cannot continue adding EXP to the old track.
Your current PvP participation earns Series 12 EXP.
Series EXP and Series level reset when the new Series begins, while Trophy Crystals already earned carry over.
Level 25 is the main completion point for Series-exclusive collectibles.
But the Malmstones do not stop there.
Levels 26 through 29 each award 1,000 Trophy Crystals.
Level 30 awards 5,000 Trophy Crystals.
After Level 30, any additional levels are tracked as extra levels, and the current reward structure provides another 1,000 Trophy Crystals for each 20,000 Series EXP beyond that point.
For players who only want the unique Series 12 items, probably not unless they enjoy PvP.
By Level 25, you already have access to every unique milestone collectible.
Going further is mainly useful if you want:
more Trophy Crystals,
additional PvP activity,
PvP achievements,
Wolf Marks,
or progression in another PvP system at the same time.
For dedicated PvP players, extra levels are essentially additional currency rewards for content they would be playing anyway.
For collectors who only want Series exclusives, Level 25 is the natural stopping point.
Winning increases the Series EXP you receive, but losses still award progress.
Do not abandon the reward track just because you are new to PvP or have a poor win rate.
Series Malmstones reward participation consistently enough that even unsuccessful matches move the bar.
PvP Rank and Series Level are separate.
Your existing PvP Rank does not automatically unlock Series 12 rewards.
Every new Series starts its Series EXP progression over again.
Little Red Viking appears at Level 15, but mathematically you still have most of the mount grind ahead of you.
Level 15 requires 43,000 total EXP.
Level 25 requires 108,000.
That means another 65,000 EXP remains after obtaining the minion.
Reaching Level 25 makes the reward available.
Make sure you actually claim the Identification Key from Series Malmstones and use it to register the mount.
The collectible milestones are exciting, but reaching Level 25 also generates 19,000 Trophy Crystals.
Check out some of our most popular Final Fantasy XIV services:
Those crystals have their own reward value at Wolves' Den Pier and should not be treated as meaningless filler.
If you participated in Series 11, check the Previous Series tab.
You may already have a reward waiting to be claimed, but the claim period does not remain open forever.
Series 12 has five major unique milestones: Half-rim Spectacles at Level 5, Order of the Twin Adder Framer's Kit at Level 10, Little Red Viking at Level 15, Immortal Flames Framer's Kit at Level 20, and the Rocket Punch Identification Key at Level 25.
The final unique Series 12 Malmstone reward is the Rocket Punch Identification Key at Series Level 25.
Using it unlocks the Rocket Punch mount.
You need 108,000 total Series EXP to reach Series Level 25.
Little Red Viking is unlocked at Series Level 15, requiring 43,000 total Series EXP.
Players unlock 19,000 Trophy Crystals from the Series 12 Malmstone rewards before and including progression to Level 25.
The five major milestone levels replace the normal 1,000-Crystal reward with their unique collectible.
Series Level 30 requires 158,000 total Series EXP and awards 5,000 Trophy Crystals. Progress beyond Level 30 becomes extra levels.
The Rocket Punch Identification Key is unique, untradable, and market prohibited. The Series 12 reward must therefore be obtained through the appropriate Series progression rather than purchased from another player.
No.
Wins award more Series EXP, but losses in the supported PvP modes still give Series EXP and advance Series Malmstones.
No.
Series Malmstones are their own PvP progression system and do not require a particular Crystalline Conflict rank.
Yes, if you already earned them.
Series 11 rewards remain claimable until Series 12 ends through the Previous Series section of Series Malmstones.
No. Square Enix confirmed that Trophy Crystals carry over when a new PvP Series begins, even though Series EXP and Series level reset.
FFXIV PvP Series 12 offers a clear reward path for collectors, with the Rocket Punch mount serving as the main prize at Series Level 25.
The progression starts gently. Half-rim Spectacles require only 8,000 Series EXP, the Twin Adder Framer's Kit arrives at 23,000, and Little Red Viking unlocks at 43,000.
The second half demands more commitment.
The Immortal Flames Framer's Kit appears at 70,500 EXP, while reaching Rocket Punch requires 108,000 total Series EXP.
Along the way, players also earn 19,000 Trophy Crystals by Level 25, adding substantial value beyond the five unique collectibles.
Most importantly, these rewards are accessible without becoming a ranked PvP specialist. You do not need a specific Crystalline Conflict tier, perfect win rate, or rare drop. Complete eligible PvP matches, earn Series EXP, increase your Series level, and claim each Malmstone reward as it becomes available.
If Series 12's cosmetics are your priority, Level 25 is the milestone to remember. It gives you the spectacles, both Framer's Kits, Little Red Viking, Rocket Punch, and all the Trophy Crystals accumulated along the way.
And if you participated in Series 11, check the Previous Series menu before forgetting about it. Earned rewards remain claimable during Series 12, but that opportunity does not last indefinitely.
