FFXIV raids are all about taking down the big bosses, but what’s the difference between them and trials? In a nutshell, raids are more focused on completing a set amount of objectives in a short amount of time. Trials, on the other hand, are more about trying to find and complete different objectives in order to earn rewards. Rockets also have a higher chance of awarding items that can be used in the game’s crafting system. This means that you can make powerful weapons and armor with these rewards.
