Trick or Treat...

Awoooo~ Greetings, Ghouls and Goblins! Time to carve your pumpkins, don your spookiest costumes, and gorge on sweets until your teeth rot. Get ready cuz the Harvest Festival 2010 is now creeping throughout the world of Vanadiel.

Due to RL stuffs, I ended up missing the Celestial Nights and Blazing Buffalo events, but it didn't look like they had anything new this year, so all's well... XD;;; This year's Harvest Festival, however, includes 4 new items... and Ari likes new event items. (\(oDo)/)

Each of the three nations has its own spiffy looking candleholder called a Pricket. Compared to last year's Lanterns, these definately look MUCH better, especially regarding the goofy-looking, unoriginal Sandy lantern... =_=. There is also an additional "special" pricket that can be obtained once you have achieved the main 3.

If you would like to participate in the festival, the spooky festivities will take place between October 19th and November 2nd. FFXIclopedia once again has the Guide for the Harvest games. And all other information pertaining to the event can be found on the Official FFXI Site.

Above are last year's Lanterns (left) and this year's Prickets (right).

Jack-o'-Pricket - Can be purchased from San d'Orian Event Moogle.
Djinn Pricket - Can be purchased from Bastokan Event Moogle.
Mandragora Pricket - Can be purchased from Windhurst Event Moogle.
Korrigan Pricket - Must decorate your Mog House with all three nation prickets and wait until Conquest tally. Afterwards, your moogle will reward you with the final pricket.
** There may be complications in obtaining this special item if you already have a Furnishing Quest activated. **

You can still obtain the Trick/Treat Staves, Pitchforks, Pumpkin/Horror Heads, Witch/Coven Hats, and Eerie Cloaks, as well as the Chocobo Stable Warp neck armors, this year, so be sure to get them while you can. Otherwise, you'll have to wait another year until this time comes back around.

Here's hoping that everyone enjoys this year's Halloween event and don't forget to keep checking back for more updates from moi.
