Special Event: Wake of the Lilies

Northern San d'Oria (D-8) Gertrude Bastok Markets (G-8) Brian Windurst Waters (F-5) Roger

• Following the completion of an exorcist's request, players will be required to wait one Vana'diel day before being accepting a new request.

Costumed NPCs

It's just not a Harvest Festival without treats—and treats are exactly what all costumed NPCs are after! By trading certain treats to costumed NPCs, not only can a character gain the ability to dress up like a monster or beastman themselves, but can also receive some familiar Harvest Festival items!

• Treats will mostly be foods falling under the Sweets category. However, NPCs will not accept certain types of sweets.
• Players will be unable to perform some actions while donning a costume, such as using magic or items, opening doors, etc.
• To take off a costume, characters may either select and cancel the Costume status icon, or simply change areas.

Bomb Decorations

Throughout the festivities, players will be able to enjoy the illumination of the now-famous bomb decorations. As in previous Harvest Festivals, one can't help but wonder what might happen if two particular characters in full costume were to get near some of these decorations while in the same party...

• Don't forget to talk to any moogles that may be hovering about the streets. They might just have some hauntingly helpful hints!
