The theme for the challenge for this month is Fairy Tales! We have also lifted the moratorium on 6.0 spoilers, including battle arenas and dungeons, so don’t be afraid to take the most awesome screenshots in Ultima Thul, Elpis, or even [Redacted] Extreme. (I still can’t bring myself to say it, though….)

Entries for the March Challenge will be accepted until March 18th, 2022 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time.

To enter, send a screenshot on the theme subject to Admin Katarh Mest on the Discord! Include your character name for voting.

As always, the winner gets a small item from the Mogstation, their image as the banner on the front page of this website, and the rights to choose the next month’s theme.

Love is in the Air for a few more days, and after tallying all the votes, the winner for the loveliest shot for the month of February was Chibi Blu! A gorgeous background with plenty of floating hearts took this theme literally in the best possible way.

Congratulations!

Watch this space for the March Challenge, coming soon!

Wow, we had plenty of votes for once this month! All of our beautiful screenshots showed off the moon in all its splendor and forms (including an unexpected Sailor) but the winner by a landslide this month was Snowy Drake, who executed a lovely symmetrical back shot with a gorgeous silhouette against the moon to perfectly capture this month’s theme.

Congratulations Snowy!

The February challenge will be posted soon, and we should have news for our next ENTM cycle now that we’ve given everyone a chance to finish Endwalker!

Happy New Year! The winner for our December 2021 challenge on the theme of Unfettered and Free was Daiyu Elani! Taking the theme at its most literal, she held a dance party with everyone’s favorite Lord of the Revel.

Congratulations! We’ll be announcing the first challenge of 2022 shortly.

The ENTM hosts are also discussing our first longer cycle of the year. Note that due to the server congestion issues, we still have a hold on spoilers past the level 85 MSQ since so few folks have been able to complete the story as planned over the break. As a result, any longer cycles are more likely to take place once we know that all the participants have access to the game during their playable hours. Please be patient with us, as SE has asked for patience as well. (I also work in business technology and I am all too painfully aware of the server shortage since it’s impacting the long term plans of my department in the real world as well….)

The theme for the month of December was Unfettered and Free – anything goes as long as you’re not in 6.0 areas for now.

We had three entries this month. Please click on the center of each image to view it in larger detail, then use your browser’s back button to return to this page.

Vote for your favorite at the bottom of the post! Voting will be open until December 31st, 2021, at 11:59 PM Eastern time.

While we all wait for maintenance to be over so we can sink our teeth into 6.0, it’s time to start thinking about your screen shot idea for December. The theme is Unfettered and Free – anything goes, go wild and have fun!

(No 6.0 spoilers; no new locations, but new armor is okay)

Entries for this challenge will be accepted from December 3rd, 2021 to December 22nd, 2021, at 11:59 PM ET. To enter, send a direct message to Admin Katarh Mest on the ENTM Discord channel with your character name.

The winner of the challenge will receive their shot at the top of our website for the next month, and the rights to choose the next theme!
