Nab presents held hostage by nefarious goblins!

The moogles are all in a tizzy-goblins have filched some of their most prized presents and furnishings! Have mercy on the little fluff balls and wrest them back for the good of Vana'diel! But don't go unprepared-speak to moogles in the following locations to hear all about this most devious of plots.

Speak to the Moogle in the following locations to begin.

Prizes

• Dream Trousers/ Dream Pants
• Dream Trousers +1/ Dream Pants +1
• Leafkin Bopper
• Leafkin Bopper +1
• Republic Stables Medal
• Kingdom Stables Collar
• Federation Stables Scarf

♦Moogle Locations:

Northern San d'Oria (J-9)
Bastok Markets (G-8)
Windurst Waters (F-9)

If you find yourself stuck and unable to clinch victory from the jaws of defeat, try speaking to the moogles again-they just might have some hints for you. If that doesn't work, you can also team up with a bunch of friends-the more the merrier, and the more likely you'll be able to nab some gifts!

• After speaking to the Moogle, find the Goblin Merrymakers wandering the zone.
• Trade a Goblin Chocolate to a Merrymaker, and they will begin trusting you.
  • These can be purchased for 35 Gil each in Lower Jeuno from Pawkrix at (H-10). They stack to 99.
  • It is not necessary to trade these to the Goblins, but it makes the process much quicker. If you do not, they will cast Gravity and Bind on you, which last from 10-15 seconds.
• Continue following the goblin and interacting with him. Eventually, you will obtain a Red present (San d'Oria), Blue present (Bastok) or Green present (Windurst).
  • You may also bother them enough that they will cast Gravity or Bind on you even if you gave them a Goblin Chocolate.
  • You can restart trading with them after trading another Goblin Chocolate and may receive the present from future interactions.
• After obtaining the present key item, report back to the Moogle without being seen by the Merrymakers. They will steal back the present if you are caught, and you will have to restart. He will tell you who it belongs to.
  • Wide Scan and Home Point warps help getting around and figuring out where to go.
• Speak to the NPC the moogle indicates. They will tell you who the present is for. Again, you cannot be seen by the Merrymakers.
• Visit the NPC who the present was given to. They will thank you for giving it to them.
• You can now freely run back to the NPC who the present was initially from. Report your work to them.
• Visit the moogle, who will reward you with the Dream Trousers (Males) or Dream Pants (Females).
• Repeat the event while wearing the pants to obtain the Dream Trousers +1 (Males) or Dream Pants +1 (Females).
• Repeating the event for the third time while wearing the +1 leg armor will reward you with the Leafkin Bopper.
• Repeating the event for the fourth time while wearing the +1 leg armor and the Bopper will grant the Leafkin Bopper +1.
• Further repeating will yield the Republic Stables Medal, Kingdom Stables Collar, or Federation Stables Scarf.
• Continuing to repeat the event will reward you with Black Pudding and other holiday treats.

Wreath Furnishings from the Goblins

By trading miscellaneous Beastcoins or Jewels to the Goblins, you can obtain a country-unique furnishing. Only one of the eight Goblin Merrymaker in each area will accept the Beastcoin/Jewel and give the wreath in return, the rest will simply return the Beastcoin claiming they have nothing to give you.

Confirmed Coins:

• Beastcoin
• Silver Beastcoin
• Mythril Beastcoin
• Gold Beastcoin

Confirmed Jewels:

• Peridot
• Chrysoberyl
• Pearl
• Black Pearl
• Light Opal
• Clear Topaz
• Lapis Lazuli

These can be obtained from the Goldsmithing Guild in Bastok Markets.

Note: The item only disappears from your inventory if you obtain a Furnishing, meaning if you want all three, only three items are required regardless of trades.

• Couronne des Etoiles

Bastok

• Silberkranz

Windurst

• Leafberry Wreath
