Season’s scree-tings, everyone! This is Chesskyth from the Community team!
We’re almost at the end of 2024 already – it’s hard to believe it was six whole months ago that we first set sail for the shores of Tural.
That being said, we’re not quite done with this year’s festive offerings! The Starlight Celebration is offering the Starlight Stalls Barding and a bunch of cozy seasonal furnishing items until Tuesday, December 31, 2024 at 6:59 a.m. (PST). Be sure to grab these limited-time rewards before they’re gone!
Right after the Starlight Celebration, the Heavensturn seasonal event will kick off the new year!
Event Period
From Tuesday, December 31 at 7:00 a.m.
to Thursday, January 16 at 6:59 a.m. (PST)
How to Participate
To receive the quest, speak to Hebi Bugyo in Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks (X:11.5 Y:13.9).
Event Items
▼ Minion: The Great White Tsuchinoko
Behold, a familiar face in a brand-new, mochi-fied form. Oh my, they’re even balancing a tiny mandarin orange on their head… *sniff* excuse me, I need to take a moment to appreciate the cuteness overload (spoken through floods of happy tears)!
That reminds me, I recall a snowman in Limsa Lominsa that was also just chilling with a mandarin atop its noggin.
Is this some sort of trend? Should we start putting them on the heads of our Warriors of Light, too!?
▼ Furnishing: Springtide Fan Stand
Here we have decorative fans symbolizing well-wishes. When you place them on your wall, perhaps you can think of the wishes you might have for your adventures in the upcoming year.
▼ Furnishing: Oriental New Year’s Meal
Next, we have some trays of food packed with lobster, and delicious-looking delicacies shaped like fat chocobos and moogles. I’d like to have these in real life! These are inspired by “osechi,” a traditional Japanese dish served during the New Year holidays, so you can bring your real-life celebrations to the world of FFXIV. Why not invite some company over and enjoy the turn of the year together?
You can purchase the above furnishings from the Hebi Shonin throughout the duration of the event.
Omikuji
The omikuji is back once again! It seems to be becoming a seasonal tradition for Heavensturn.
Have your new year’s fortune told for 100 gil!
How will your fortune fare this year? Compare your results with your friends and see who will be having the luckiest (and unluckiest) 2025!
Alright, just for practice, let’s try pulling one omikuji.
Check it out, I pulled “Great Fortune”!
*sobs* Why did I have to use all my luck here… now the next time I roll for the mount in an Extreme trial, I bet I’ll get a 3 or something…
Anyhow, hope you enjoy Heavensturn! We’ll keep striving to do our best next year so everyone can continue to have a blast in Eorzea!
Wishing you all a happy new year!
