Events: Valentione's Day

Last Thursday was the start of this year's Moogle Event in celebration of Valentione's Day. After helping Splinte with his Warrior AF2 quest (killing a Quadav NM in Palborough Mines, and then a Yagudo Parasite in Castle Oztroja), Itera, Elboron, Grym and Kiki headed to Windurst to see if they could figure out the event.

The four of us ran around talking to the Valentione Singles, trading each other the chocolate heart halves from the NPC types that the singles were looking for (for example, the Tarutaru female single that Kiki talked to was looking for a nice Hume male, so Kiki got a heart half from Elboron, who got it from the Hume male single), took the pieces to the event Moogle to get joined into a whole chocolate heart, and returned it to the Valentione Single it belonged to. After we'd returned hearts to all four of our gender-specific NPCs, we headed to the Moogle to see what our rewards would be. Grymalkyn was rated Excellent, and was able to choose a Charm Wand as her reward, while Elboron and Kiki were simply Decent. Elboron could only get a chocobo pass, while Kiki could get a chocobo ticket or a chocobo pass. The Charm Wand has 10 charges and can be used once a day to cast reraise on someone else. The +1 version is like the Treat Staff II in that it can be used once every five days and recharges.

Over the weekend, Kiki traveled to Bastok to team up with Qimirpik, Grymalkyn's Bastok Galka mule. This time Kiki was rated excellent, and got her own Charm Wand, which was "signed" with Qimirpik's name. Qimirpik also got a Charm Wand, but he'd talked to the Moogle when Kiki was in a different zone, and his isn't signed.

Next Grymalkyn did the event with Qiwi, Kiki's Galka mule in Windurst. They both were rated excellent, and Grym picked the Romance Potion, while Qiwi got a Charm Wand signed with Grymalkyn's name. People say that you have to do the quest three times with excellent ratings in order to get the Charm Wand +1, so over the next few days we'll have to try to get this completed before the event ends. I hate getting all these rare/ex event items cluttering up the mog safe, but they will come in handy for those occasions when I've felt a scroll of instant reraise would be useful!
