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

Starlight Celebration Games[edit]

There are three 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.

Presents in Exchange for Destructive Behavior![edit]

Astral Box

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

Destroy the smallest size box to receive a Bell-themed gift token (this is not always 100%, so you may have to destroy a number of boxes). The boxes may also drop other holiday items, such as:

Your Moogle can also "find" these items from a Dream Stocking, Dream Coffer or Dream Platter furnishing placed in your Mog House.
Smallest Box Size

If you are in a party, and a party member destroys the smallest-size box and receives a Bell-themed gift token, everyone else in the party will also receive it. The other drops from the Astral Boxes are placed into the treasure pool.

The two smallest sizes are somewhat similar. The image shows a comparison between a Mithra character and the smallest Astral Box size which will always yield a Bell-themed gift token.

To obtain the Dream Robe +1 you first need to have the normal quality item Dream Robe. This NQ item will drop from any box. Only when in possession of the Dream Robe you can turn in a Bell-themed gift token at the Moogle to obtain the HQ version. You may need to repeat this mini-quest several times. Before you turn-in your key item to the Moogle, you must first have the NQ in your possession before you can obtain the HQ. There is also a possibility to obtain a Dream Bell from the Moogle. Note that, as with other event items, the game only checks your personal inventory, mog safe, mog storage, mog locker, and mog satchel to determine whether you already have acquired an item. Event items stored with a storage NPC don't count as being in your possession, so you may obtain them again. It's best to retrieve all items out of NPC storage to ensure you aren't getting duplicates.

Lend the Moogles a Capable Adventurer's Hand![edit]

There are two games here: one involves giving gifts to NPCs, the second involves trading cards with fellow adventurers! Both games yield food items, furnishings, and the gift token key items. You will only be able to do these mini-quests once per Vana'diel day (after 0:00 hours, Vana'diel time).

Gifts to NPCs[edit]

Talk to a Moogle to receive 4 holiday presents, and the names of 4 NPCs to deliver them to - these presents are not items in your inventory or key items, merely talking to the NPCs will give them the present. (Be advised that you can't change areas while delivering.)

The Moogles are located in the following locations:

Windurst Waters (north side) (F-9)
Southern San d'Oria (H-9)
Bastok Mines (I-8) front of auction house

The names of the NPCs are:

  • Ullasa (B-6) inside Count Caffaule's manor
  • Balasiel (F-7) upper balcony area
  • Chanpau (E-7) east of Pikeman's Way
  • Femitte (I-8) underneath tree standing next to Rouva
  • Tall Mountain(J-7) near the Alchemist's Guild
  • Tami (J-8) in front of the VCS
  • Virnage(I-5) inside Bat Lair's Inn in the far room
  • Christina (I-9) across from the moogle near the chocobo stables

After delivering the presents, talk the the starter Moogle again. You will receive a reward and a Snow-Themed Gift Token and either 10 random fireworks or other holiday items. (Dream Platter, Dream Coffer and Dream Stocking have been reported so far.)

Gift tokens can be traded to Moogles for prizes (see below).

Exchange cards with other Adventurers[edit]

Speak to a start moogle in one of the following locations to receive a Cassiopeia Card:

Northern San d'Oria (J-8)
Windurst Woods (H-11)
Bastok Markets (G-8)

Trade this card to another player of the specific sex and race as instructed by the Moogle.

If you're in a party with another player that is also in the zone, you will receive a card that matches the sex and race of the other party member.

That player then trades the Cassiopeia Card to the Moogle, receiving a Perseus Card signed with the name of the person they got the card from (ie. you) and a gift (event food or HQ crystals). Then trade the Perseus Card back to you, and you trade it to the Moogle for a gift and a Star-Themed Gift Token.

What to do with Gift Tokens[edit]

Speak to a Moogle with the gift token in your possession. The moogles are found in the following locations:

Windurst Waters near exit to West Sarutabaruta
Windurst Woods near exit to East Sarutabaruta
Southern San d'Oria (K-9)
Northern San d'Oria (D-8)
Bastok Markets in front of the fountain.
Bastok Mines (I-9), next to Christina.

Snow-themed tokens will give you one of the following items (random):

Star-themed tokens will give you one of the following items (random):

Bell-themed tokens will give you one of the following items (random):

You must not have a Cassiopeia Card in your inventory.

Dream Bell +1[edit]

Speak to any of the above moogles with a Dream Bell, a Bell-themed gift token, a Star-Themed Gift Token, and a Snow-Themed Gift Token in your inventory/key items. You'll be given a choice to trade in all 3 tokens or a single token. Choose all 3 to get the Dream Bell or Dream Bell +1. Notes: - You will get a NQ Dream Bell if you do not already have one in your inventory. - After obtaining the Dream Bell +1, on subsequent trades of all 3 Tokens, you will receive 1 of each of the following: Candy Cane, Candy Ring, and a Roast Turkey.

You receive gifts automatically when talking to one of these Moogles with one or two gift tokens in your possession.

The Gift of a Child's Laughter! (Smilebringers)[edit]

Play this game for Free Nation-to-Nation Teleports!

  • 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 other games, or purchased at Moogle vendors) will also increase holiday fame, but to a lesser extent, thus requiring more to be traded. Fireworks from other events, such as Muteppo, will not be accepted by the children.
  • 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.
Once you have full fame, you cannot trade any fireworks to the children, thus enabling you to know when you can obtain the Dream Hat +1.

Dream Hat +1[edit]

To obtain the Dream Hat +1, put any of the City trees (bought from the Dream Hat vendor) in your Mog House. 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!").

Wait until after Japanese Midnight, and 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.

Did You Get Your Holiday Shopping Done?[edit]

Vendor Moogles in each of the cities are here:
