The moogles have cleverly hidden seven types of Tenshodo trading cards across the land and challenged the Goblins to find them. But the cunning Goblins, determined to come out on top in the contest, have taken to riding chocobos, and that simply isn't fair, kupo!
Southern San d'Oria / Northern San d'Oria
Bastok Markets / Bastok Mines
Windurst Waters (north side) / Windurst Woods
Trading cards can occasionally be found by examining overturned soil in the following locations. Get there before the goblins beat you to it!
West Ronfaure / La Theine Plateau / Jugner Forest / Batallia Downs / South Gustaberg / Konschtat Highlands / Pashhow Marshlands / Rolanberry Fields / East Sarutabaruta / Tahrongi Canyon / Meriphataud Mountains / Sauromugue Champaign.
The odds of receiving trading cards increases with the more people you have in your party. Team up with other adventurers to increase your odds of success!
- Overturned soil spots will appear in zones randomly. Beating the Goblin Rider to the spot will either reward you with a card or pop a Wayward Worm that will pop out, cast Bind, and disappear.
- Cards include:
- You can receive the same card (even if you do not have the whole set) causing you to lose it.
- Turning in Bishamon Card, Benten Card, and Daikoku Card will reward a nation-specific furnishing:
- Bastok
Kanonenofen - San d'Oria
Poele Classique - Windurst
Pot Topper
- Bastok
- Turning in Fukurokuju Card, Hotei Card, and Jurojin Card will reward a nation-specific waist gear:

- Windurst Mandragora Belt
- Turning in all seven cards, including the rare Ebisu Card along with the Fukurokuju Card, Hotei Card, Jurojin Card, Bishamon Card, Benten Card, and Daikoku Card will reward a nation-specific Chocobo Stables warp neckpiece:
- Bastok Republic Stables Medal
- San d'Oria Kingdom Stables Collar
- Windurst Federation Stables Scarf
New Festival Dial
The festival dial is a special dial that gives you a chance to obtain rewards from high-tier mission battlefields and high-tier avatar battlefields such as ★The Orb's Radiance and ★Divine Interference that were previously unavailable from other dials.
You need an #FES dial key in order to use the festival dial, which can be obtained by fulfilling certain conditions in each seasonal event.
During the New Year's event, if you were unable to obtain some of the rewards for the following activities, you can attempt them again and receive an #FES dial key as a reward for completing them. So take on the activities bit by bit each day and something good might happen!
- You can acquire one #FES dial key per day (Earth time).
Supported activities
- Go Watch the Parade!
- Bring Cheer for Those in Need!
Obtaining Hoary Spire (scroll furnishing)
The guide for obtaining this scroll furnishing was originally written in the 2008 version of this NYE Guide and was omitted in recent years, probably by accident. I'm posting the guide, written by Dekar on FFXIAH.com here:
Each nation has a child NPC(first three listed below) who will want a New Year's Gift [trade the Gleeful Ixions in the starting areas] 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:
- New Years Mini-quest NPCs:
- Bunta (D-11 of Bastok Markets)
- Jeanparmand (D-8 of Northern San d'Oria)
- Pyru-Copyru (B-4 of Port Windurst)
- Dilauriome (Deck of Windurst-Jeuno Airship)
- "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.
