Happy New Year 2015/Guide

'''This is a copy of last year's guide. Add Info as it comes!!!'''

The Basics
Welcome to the Year of the Alicorn!!! (Horse on Earth)

As with every year a herd of this year's animal on the Chinese Zodiac parade through the open fields bringing good luck and prizes! Follow the Alicorns around and trade them any random item to get a random buff and prizes.

Although not required to get prizes, there are starter npcs: Bunta Bastok Markets (E-10), Jeanparmand Northern San d'Oria (D-8), and Pyru-Copyru, Port Windurst (B-4)

Among the prizes is the traditional New Year treat: ''This food lasts 3 Hours. Visting Parike-Poranke at Lower Jeuno (H-8) outside the Merry Minstrel Meadhouse is a good idea. (He removes food effects by casting a pooping spell. Bring extra undies!)''

When used you will get the message: "Player eats a galette des rois,but finds nothing inside..." or "Player eats a Galette des Rois. Player finds an item inside!"
