Happy New Year 2015/Guide

Welcome to the Year of the Sheep!!!

As with every year a herd of this year's animal on the Chinese Zodiac parade through the open fields bringing good luck and prizes! Follow the Sheep around and trade them any random item to get a random buff and prizes.

Although not required to get prizes, there are starter npcs: Bunta Bastok Markets (E-10), Jeanparmand Northern San d'Oria (D-8), and Pyru-Copyru, Port Windurst (B-4)

This years sheep are not the giant sheep of the wilds, no! This year is the cute fuzzy lambs known as the little sheep from Monster Rearing inside of the mog garden!

NPCs: Elated Ovis / Smiling Ovis / Estatic Ovis / Playful Ovis / Mirthful Cat

According to the event description, trading items that sheep prefer will occasionally reward players with even better items. Sometimes the sheep will fall asleep from exhaustion. Trading items to them during this state may reward players with even more wonderous furnishings.

• La Theine Cabbage from Only the Best gives hard to get items.
• Boyahda Moss from Only the Best gives hard to get items.
• Millioncorn from Only the Best DOES NOT give hard to get items. It behaves like any random item.
• Napa gives hard to get items.
• Winterflower gives hard to get items.
• Moko Grass gives hard to get items.
• Red Moko Grass gives hard to get items.

Also! Fulfilling certain conditions will call the precocious Cait Sith to participate in the festivities. She may even provide you with an extra special furnishing under the proper circumstances! Cait Sith will appear as the Mirthful Cat. Cait Sith says she is hungry. Trade Fish to her (not to the sheep) until she is full to receive a Cait Sith Carving.

• It appears that if a zone's sheep are fed enough, Cait Sith will appear and join the group.
• Fish that are confirmed to work include Bluetail,Moat Carp, Nebimonite, Giant Catfish, Gugru Tuna
  • Buy several large fish or lots of small. She eats A LOT.

Among the prizes is the traditional New Year treat:

This food lasts 3 Hours. Visiting Parike-Poranke at Lower Jeuno (H-8) outside the Merry Minstrel Meadhouse is a good idea. (He removes food effects.)

When used you will get the message: "Player eats a Galette des Rois,but finds nothing inside..." or "Player eats a Galette des Rois. Player finds an item inside!"
