  • Trade via the macro /item "Item Name" <t>
  • /item "Garlic Cracker" <t>

Each bat you defeat will give you an enlight effect of 1 damage. There is no notification that your lazer charged or your current strength. The effect caps at 30 damage.

Return to the moogle after defeating bats to gain the enlight effect.

Pyracmon Rewards

If you do not relinquish your light, face off against the spooky Ahriman Pyracmon. If he is defeated, you can earn the prizes below.

  • Pyracmon will try to dispel this en-light via its only TP move Monocular Scowl. This is a gaze move and may be evaded simply by facing away while it is used.
  • If you are hit by this you will need to zone and start over.
    • He will not regenerate health if you zone.
  • You may use the regen bonus from the grounds of valor book after syncing to make this easier.

After defeating the Ahriman, return to the moogle to receive your reward.

Bomb Decorations

Throughout the festivities, players will be able to enjoy the illumination of the now-famous bomb decorations. As in previous Harvest Festivals this will reward Pitchforks, and now a mount.

Pitchfork icon.png Pitchfork

To obtain the PitchforkPitchfork description.png you must make a two-person party and meet under specific Bomb Decorations with two specific costumes. Which costumes are based on area. Below is a list of the correct combinations and which NPCs can give them to you. The NPCs will not accept every type of sweet to turn you into a costume. If you get "Thank you..." with nothing else, try another sweet or wait a game-day to reset and try again. Once you get a costume, you must wait a game-day if trying to get the same costume from the same NPC with the same sweet. Alternatively, try another sweet if it's on the same day.

Pitchfork +1 icon.png Pitchfork +1

Obtaining the Pitchfork +1Pitchfork +1 description.png is somewhat similar. You must again make a 2-person party, but this time you both must have and equip the Pitchfork (with no grip) and both be in a nation different where both of you first obtained it.

This time around you will need to get the costume of the Beastmen that lives near your home nation(Bastok = Quadav, San d'Oria = Orc, and Windurst = Yagudo). If done correctly, instead of getting that Beastmen's form, you will instead get a Goblin costume. Meet under bomb decorations and you will receive your reward.

  • Bastok Markets: Orc(Trick Spirit), Quadav(Trick Phantom), and Yagudo(Trick Skeleton).
  • Northern San d'Oria: Orc(Trick Shadow), Quadav(Trick Bones), and Yagudo(Trick Ghast).
  • Windurst Waters: Orc(Trick Bones), Quadav(Trick Shade), and Yagudo(Trick Ghost).

NPC and Costume List

Since all NPC's always give the same type of costume, it can be convenient to know which to use for obtaining the Pitchfork items.
There are both special event roaming NPC's, and pre-existing NPC's that have been dressed up just for the event. Stationary NPC's can often be indoors and more difficult to use seeing as how costumes do not allow interaction with doors.

Spectral Chair Mount

Cyhiraeth, Corpselight

Form a party of two people. Find an NPC dressed as a Cyhiraeth (the floating skull). A list of these NPCs can be found in the table above. Both party members should trade a sweet until you both are turned into the same costume. You can get other rewards before becoming the Cyhiraeth costume (which lasts 5 minutes). Once both members are a Cyhiraeth, head to the bomb decoration in the zone and both stand under the bomb balloon decorations to receive the Spectral Chair Mount.

Note: If you fail for any reason, you have to wait till the next game day to start over again.

Note: Trading a different type of sweet will allow you to have another chance at getting the costume. You can only obtain one reward per Vana'diel day per sweet type, per NPC.

Example:

  • The NPC at the Auction House in Southern San d'Oria is in this costume and will grant it for a sweet. Proceed to the bomb balloons in the costume near the Mog House at (L-7) to gain the mount:

Harvest Festival Spectral Mount.jpg

Witch Hat icon.png Wake of the Lilies

There are two ghosts of the Dark Lilies in each city, in the areas listed below.
To begin this portion of the event simply talk to one of the above NPC. He will assign you one of them to follow. This will be the less difficult of the two. You MUST be wearing a costume given out when trading sweets to one of the costumed NPCs to receive progress messages, starting with "You've joined the procession." If you are successful, you will be given the Witch HatWitch Hat description.png.
If you talk to the exorcist again with the Witch HatWitch Hat description.png equipped, he will assign to the second and harder Dark Lily to follow. This time, if you are successful, you will be rewarded a Coven HatCoven Hat description.png.

Being spotted by the NPC remove your costume, and you must start over. When you have completed the task, you will be notified via the message: "Alright! It's time to collect your reward!"

Further successful attempts will be rewared with a random number of Papillions.
