Event Summary
This is a guide to the Starlight Celebration 2023.
The event consists of four mini-quests.
- Smilebringer quest (Presents for the kiddies)
- Goblin Merrymaker quest (
Star-Themed Gift Token) - Gift Delivery quest (Snow-Themed Gift Token)
- Smilebringer Bootcamp quest (Bell-Themed Gift Token)
All but the Smilebringer quest reward you with a different gift token key-item. Redeeming these tokens with the Token Redemption Moogles, will reward you with items. For details, please see each mini-quest section.
- Please note, that some quests can only be completed once per ingame day.
Event Moogles
For this event, there are three different type of Moogles - unfortunately, they are all called Moogle. We have the following Moogle categories:
Vendor Moogles
There are two Moogles in each city. Each Moogles has its own wares - make sure you check them both.
- Locations
- Northern San d'Oria (D-8), near the West Ronfaure Exit
- Bastok Mines (H-8), near the Auction House
- Windurst Waters, North (G-10), near the General Goods store.
- Wares
- Moogle 1
| Items: | Prices: |
|---|---|
| Popstar | 40 |
| Brilliant Snow | 40 |
| Sparkling Hand | 25 |
| Air Ride | 100 |
| Cracker | 8 |
| Twinkle Shower | 25 |
| Little Comet | 25 |
| Dream Hat | 500 |
| San d'Orian Tree | 10,000 |
| Bastokan Tree | 10,000 |
| Windurstian Tree | 10,000 |
- Moogle 2
| Items: | Prices: |
|---|---|
| Snowman Knight | 10,000 |
| Snowman Miner | 10,000 |
| Snowman Mage | 10,000 |
| Snowman Cap | 5,000 |
| Fortune Fruits | 777 |
| Goblin Chocolate | 50 |
Quest Giver Moogles
There are also two quest giver Moogles in each city. Each Moogle is responsible for one quest. Below are their locations:
Token Redemption Moogles
These Moogles will hand out rewards for the Tokens you can get from the Mini-quests. The locations of the Moogles can be found below:
- Northern San d'Oria (J-8)
- Southern San d'Oria (J-9)
- Bastok Mines (I-9)
- Bastok Markets (G-8)
- Windurst Waters, North (F-5)
- Windurst Woods (K-10)
There is equal chance to get any of the items in the loot tables. Once an item is picked from the loot table the game checks if it was a food item. If it is the player is given the item. If it is a rare and exclusive item, the game will check the player's inventory if they already own it. If they do, it is removed from the loot table (the player cannot own a rare item twice) and the game picks again. The picking ends when the player can be awarded a food item or a rare + exclusive item the player doesn't already have in their inventory. This means that it is a good idea to keep rare + exclusive in your inventory to increase the chances of obtaining rare + exclusive items that the player doesn't already own.
The exception is Silberkranz. If the player already owns the item and the game attempts to award it, the NPC will say that their inventory is full and to come back when they've sorted their inventory, even if there's room in the player's inventory. The player cannot re-obtain the item and will miss out on a reward (the game won't roll again as it normally would). This could be counted as a bug.
Rewards
| Bell-themed Gift Token | Snow-themed Gift Token | Star-themed Gift Token |
|---|---|---|
|
|
|
Own all 3 tokens simultaneously
If the player owns all 3 tokens at the same time and speaks to the token redemption moogle, the moogle will offer the player to trade all 3 for a big reward. It is recommended NOT to accept. The Dream Bell can be obtained via a single token and the player will typically repeat the quest for the rewards so by the time the player has the items they like they will most likely also have a Dream Bell. Once the player has it via those means, then the player can trade all 3 tokens at once and get the Dream Bell +1 instead.
- First completion: Dream Bell (if the player already owns it, get the Dream Bell +1 instead)
- Second completion: Dream Bell +1 (if the player already owns it, get food instead)
- Third completion: 1 Roast Turkey, 1 Candy Ring, 1 Candy Cane
Mini Quests
Below you can find more detailed instructions on each mini quest. All but one quest can only be done once every ingame day.
