Moogle Locations

There are two parts of this event to take part in. One is to help the moogles find the receive of a gift and the other is to help someone do the former by fulfilling his given requirements.

Talk to a moogle and he'll begin giving you details on the person you'll need in your party. The requirements grow as you continue the mini-quest. At first he'll only ask for someone to be your party, then for specific level range(37 and under or 38 and over), then a specific race/gender, and finally a job. You'll need a party member who fulfill the current requirements and speak with the moogle. This will only work if only you and the party member are present in the party.

The moogle will give you a Magellan Card, or Andromeda Card if it is the final task, that has your party member's name on it. Give this card to your party member as he can use it to get gifts. You will be given a reward after completing the last objective(gender/race, level range, and job). You can begin again as soon as you get your reward, even with the same person.

To get rewards as a helper simply trade in the Magellan Card or Andromeda Card your party member receives.
