Head south for the second Fête in the chain, which is set up at the Mattock. Made of Softer Stuff (Gold Rating: 3 Points) They’ll perform a total of 11 actions, but you only need 6 points for your Gold Rating. You could also run over to them and use your keybind to target the nearest NPC. There’s often a crowd of people, but you should be able to click on the NPCs up on their platforms. Watch the mascots closely, and when one performs an emote, you want to target them and emote back at them. Remind them to join the FATE so they have access to the buttons they need. Sometimes you see emote messages in chat from players that have not clicked that button. This will place three emotes on your hotbar which are necessary in order to earn points. The first and most important thing you have to do for this game is to click the ‘Join FATE’ button in your duty list. You’ll have a minute or two to get to the area at before the big Fête indicator appears on your screen. The closest Aetheryte shard is probably Western Risensong Quarter.

This is the first Fête in the chain, and takes place at Bright Ballad’s Passage. Just make sure to wait for the current Fête to end so that you earn the presents for what you did participate in. If you’ve only got a few minutes then you can jump out early. For turn-in Fêtes, once it fills up you have 1 additional minute to earn points so even if you’re a bit late you can still get a gold rating.Ĭonversely, don’t feel obligated to stay for all five events. In the case of NPCs, you can just spam this button to advance dialogue and even turn in your items.ĭon’t freak out if you arrive late and the timer bar is almost full. After you target an object, this is the button you press to interact with it. In System > Keybind > System at the top of the list is “Confirm”. By default I believe it is set to numpad 0. This is the button you’ll press in most of your Fêtes to target sparkling objects on the ground and speak to NPCs. Tips for Fêtesįêtes tend to attract large crowds of players, and trying to click on an important NPC in a sea of characters will quickly test your patience.įirst and foremost, I recommend you go to System > Keybind > Targeting and look for “Target Nearest NPC or Object”.

When a Fête has begun, simply change to a Disciple of the Hand or Disciple of the Land and click the ‘Join FATE’ button when it appears. You can check the time remaining until the next Fête in the display at the top of your Duty List while you’re in the Firmament. Then there will be a one or two day delay before they begin again. One set of Fêtes occurs every two real world hours over a twenty-four hour period. You can teleport to the Firmament by interacting with the Aetheryte in the Aetheryte Plaza in Foundation. This will unlock the next quest in the Firmament quest chain and also the ability to participate in Fêtes. Next, speak to Augebert nearby (with the narrow yellow sidequest marker) to begin the sequence of sidequests inside which introduce you to the NPCs of interest in the area. The Fêtes all take place in The Firmament in Ishgard, so you’ll have to unlock that area first with the level 60 sidequest ‘ Towards the Firmament‘. It’s not much at all, so this isn’t really a levelling activity. While it’s not a huge amount, it’ll help you towards saving up to buy an item you have your eye on.įinally, you get a paltry amount of experience for the crafting or gathering job you’re on. You also get Skybuilders’ Scrips from these little events. You’ll be rewarded with a few things: First you get Fête presents, which can contain various cosmetic items or Fête tokens, exchangeable for rewards. Most of the tasks involve interacting with NPCs and objects to earn points – basically tiny fetch quests and turn-ins, but surrounded by lots of other players in a festive, celebratory setting. Fêtes are described as “large-scale games” and are sets of five FATE-like duties that take a few minutes each to complete.
