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!

Presents in Exchange for Destructive Behavior!
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 North Gustaberg / South Gustaberg West Sarutabaruta / East Sarutabaruta

Defeat the smallest size box to receive a Bell-Themed Gift Token. Defeating other sizes gives other various christmas prizes. Which may include:

Dream Robe Gateau aux Fraises Buche au Chocolat Lebkuchen House Black Pudding Candy Ring Candy Cane Roast Turkey

Note- Being in a group when someone else receives a Bell-Themed Gift Token gives everyone else in the party a token as well.

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. These 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.)
 * Trade the kiddie presents to children anywhere in the city while wearing your Dream Hat 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.
 * 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.
