Redeeming tokens
Speak to the event moogles to redeem your tokens:
- 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)

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.

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
Smilebringers quest
- Talk to a Smilebringer NPC to receive 1 Present for Kiddies:
- Wear a Dream Hat that can be bought from an event moogle.
- Offer the Present for Kiddies to any child. Additionally, offer them any of the celebration toys you were awarded or buy them from event moogles. The Present for Kiddies will provide more fame than the celebration toys. If the child doesn't accept the items, you weren't wearing a Dream Hat or you've already reached maximum fame.
Smilebringers will offer a Present for Kiddies every day starting from 0:00 (in-game).
Children locations
Bastok Mines children (6)
Windurst Waters North children (9)
Windurst Waters South children (3)
Northern San d'Oria children (4)
Fame levels
The player must reach fame level 9 to obtain the reward.
Talk to a Smilebringer to see your Fame level.
- Fame 0: You haven't brought any happiness to the children!
- Fame 1-2: You've done some good.
- Fame 3: You've done fairly well.
- Fame 4: You've made the children very happy!
- Fame 5-8: You've brought lots of smiles!
- Fame 6-8: You have the children bursting with glee!
- Fame 9: The children love you!
You will know if you have Fame 9 when every child that you try to offer a gift will respond with the message: "Another present? Sorry, but I only have two hands."
Obtaining the reward
- Place a tree of any nation inside your mog house.
- Max out your fame by giving Kiddie Presents and celebration toys to children.
- Wait at least one Vana’diel day.
- Talk to your Moogle.
- You will receive a Special Present that when opened contains a Dream Hat +1.
If at any point you wait a day and the moogle fails to offer you the gift, move your tree and wait again.
Notes
- Each nation will have the same quests and are all functionally the same. They also share cooldowns so changing to another nation's quest will not allow you to attempt them again until they reset every 0:00 in-game.
