Gleeful Gukumatz

Valkurm dunes has Gleeful Gukumatz a Event Peiste NM, who is followed by three Jubilant Peiste's, just like Celebratory Kukulcan below. more to come. feel free to post your own experiences/drops. Atelier Eladrin (talk) Nomadin of Bismarck.

Celebratory Kukulcan Section

Konschtat Highlands has Celebratory Kukulcan an Event Peiste NM, who is followed by three Jubilant Peiste's, when you trade items to the Kukulcan he either petrifies you to give you time to think, or gives you an item I guess. I haven't got anything yet. but I'll keep editing this as I find out stuff, anyone know any other zones where the kukulcan and his minions make an appearance put it here. Atelier Eladrin (talk) Nomadin of Bismarck.

so having a galette des rois in your inventory causes him to petrify you repeatedly, so when trading items, make sure to not have the galette des rois in your inventory. I've heard a few say they've managed to get a Sobek skin from the one in Valkurm Dunes. can anyone chime in? Atelier Eladrin (talk) Nomadin of Bismarck.

Walkthrough

While speaking to a starter NPC in one of the three nations may improve the possibility of attaining the gifts, it has been proven that it is NOT a requirement. Simply start out by following the Leviathan and the parade of Summoner. Now trade a Summoner anything. They takes anything from Christmas candies to Muddy Bar Tabs. As well as receiving your item, you can also receive a random buff. You can still receive buffs even if you already possess all the items listed below or have full inventory at the time of trading.

He will give random items or buffs and say:

• "Um, let's see... This year you will have about the same lucky-wucky as last year! Yep yep, and there you have it!"
• "Happy New Year! Ah, wait up, wait up! Um, let's see... This year, you'll have about the same luck as I will! ...I'm sorry, but isn't that about the worst possible-wossible luck you can have? Leviathaaan, hurry up and slow down! Oh pleasy-weasy!"
• "This year, you will have pretty good luck! Ahh, Leviathan! You were supposed to be doing this, not me!"
• "This year, you will have excellent luck! Not like some of us... Leviathan, wait, I said, wait!"
