Walkthrough

  • To start this quest, speak to Sigismund on top of the Orastery at (E-7) of Port Windurst. He tells you about the elusive Starfall Tear.
  • Speak with Tohopka, who is standing right next to Sigismund, at (E-7). Tohopka tells you how to collect the tears. You'll need to obtain some Pugil Scales. Pugils drop them, or you can find them under the AH category Bonecrafting. If there are no Scales on the AH, you can kill Pugils just outside in East Sarutabaruta for some.
  • You can also find the Starfall Tear on the AH under the "Other" category.
  • With some Scales in you possession, head out to West Sarutabaruta. On the map, there is a place called the "Starfall Hillock." In the general vicinity of that area, at (I-6), you will find the Twinkle Tree. If you're having trouble finding the tree, it's a somewhat rounded tree that has a blue firefly-type glow during the nighttime.
  • Wait until the hours of 0:00 to 3:00 game time. At any other time, the tree gives the message "There is nothing out of the ordinary here," but during those three hours you'll receive another message: "A frost deposit at the base of the tree twinkles in the starlight." At this point, trade the Pugil Scales and you'll receive your Starfall Tear.
  • Head back to Sigismund and give him the Tears. He gives you a Fish Scale Shield as a reward.
