Walkthrough

Speak with Sigismund on the Orastery roof at E-7 in Port Windurst.
He will tell you that he wants a Starfall Tear as a souvenir of Windurst.
Talk to Tohopka (beside Sigismund) to find out that you need pugil scales to collect the tear.
Get one set of Pugil Scales. You can get these from just about any Pugil, but the closest are Pug Pugils in East Sarutabaruta or Giddeus Pugil in Giddeus.
Go to the Starfall Hillock in West Sarutabaruta. Once there, go to the Twinkle Tree at I-6.
Target the base of the tree. Between the hours of 0:00 and 3:00, examining this spot will give you the message: A frost deposit at the base of the tree twinkles in the starlight.

During this time, you can trade a pugil scale to the tree to receive a Starfall Tear.

Return to Port Windurst and trade the Starfall Tear to Sigismund. He will reward you with a Fish Scale Shield.

Note: You can also purchase the Starfall Tear at the Auction House under Others > Misc.
Note: While the game once didn't allow it, you can now get as many Starfall Tears as you want even after you complete the quest.

Client: Sigismund (Orastery Roof, Port Windurst)
Summary: Sigismund wants you to bring him a "Starfall Tear" so he can take it back to his country as a souvenir of Windurst.
