New Years Mini-quest NPCs:


Each nation has a child NPC(first three listed above) who will want a New Year's Gift obtained from the other event. Choose the option "give you something from my pocket" and you will obtain a Battledore which will be necessary for the next portion of the mini-quest. If you choose any other option, you will have to obtain another New Year's Gift to proceed. Repeating the quest after obtaining the Battledore will grant you various fireworks. Using the New Year's Gift on yourself will give various effects depending on the language the gift was written in:

  • "Happy New Year!" gives fishing support
  • "Bonne Annee!" gives Question

For the next portion of the mini-quest you will need to board the Airship in Jeuno toward Windurst or Windurst toward Jeuno and find Dilauriome who is standing on the upper floor of the airship. If you equip the Battledore he will request a sheet of Bast Parchment and two jars of Black Ink. Trade him these items to obtain the furnishing item Hoary Spire.
