Starlight Celebration 2008/Guide

=Starlight Celebration 2008=

There are 3 gift-giving games to play that reward you with festive food, furnishings and gift tokens. These gift tokens can be exchanged (see below) for festive gear, like the Dream Robe. This year's exclusive special gift is the Dream Bell +1.

As with previous events the smilebringers are back with free city-to-city warps!

Go to one of the starter areas outside the cities and smash the "Astral Boxes" to receive food items and gift token key items.


 * West Ronfaure / East Ronfaure

The Gift of a Child's Laughter! (Smilebringers)
Play this game for Free Nation-to-Nation Teleports!


 * To begin, you will need a Dream Hat/Dream Hat +1. The NQ version can be purchased from the moogle vendors in Port Bastok, Windurst Waters, and Northern San d'Oria if you don't already have one.
 * Next, talk to a Smilebringer to receive a Kiddie Present. You will obtain one present in this manner every Vana'diel day. (You must accept the present before you may receive teleport options.)
 * Smilebringer locations are as follows:
 * Charmealaut - Northern San d'Oria (J-9)
 * Atagei-Portagei - Windurst Waters (F-5)
 * Christina - Bastok Mines (I-9)


 * Trade the kiddie presents to children anywhere in the city while wearing your Dream Hat/Dream Hat +1 to increase your holiday fame. Fireworks (gained from the Dream Robe quests, or purchased at Moogle vendors) will also increase holiday fame, but to a lesser extent, thus requiring more to be traded.
 * To obtain the Dream Hat +1, put any of the City trees (bought from the Dream Hat vendor) in your Mog House and, you will need to max your Holiday Children fame (highest fame from smilebringer will be "The children love you. Even I think you're Great!"). You can trade the free presents that the smile bringer gives you once a day, or fireworks for more than one trade a day. When you talk to your Moogle, your Moogle will give you a "special present". Go outside your Mog House and use the present from your inventory and you will get the Dream Hat +1 in your inventory.
 * If you talk to the smilebringers again, they will tell you your holiday fame level as well as give you the option to teleport directly to another city.
 * You will lose an amount of holiday fame every time you use this teleport service. This fame may be replenished in the same manner as above.
 * Trading 3/4 fireworks to the children in any area allows you to use the teleport service again.
