Overview
The Starlight Celebration is back again, but it hasn't gone off without a hitch. There are roaming Twinkling Treants fighting against Nomad Moogles, fake Smile-Bringers, and of course all the shiny items and furnishings you can only obtain during a special seasonal event! Don't worry about items you may have missed from a previous year, as it is still possible to obtain last Starlight Celebration's special items.

Cities participating in the event
Windurst Woods
San d'Oria North
Bastok Market

Treant Event
There are Smile-Bringers in the three cities, standing near the fountain. On occasion, they will disappear and a Twinkling Treant NPC will appear, fighting along side a Nomad Moogle. Find the Twinkling Treant and emote "/cheer" to cheer it on! Only with enough cheers will it be able to survive the Nomad Moogle's attacks and walk its way to the fountain. If the Twinkling Treant fails to make it to the fountain and is successfully defeated by the Nomad Moogle, you will have to wait until the Smile-Bringer disappears again and the Twinkling Treant spawns again to try the event again. If the Treant does make it to the fountain, it will disappear and the Smile-Bringer will re-appear near the fountain. Talk to the Smile-Bringer once the Treant is defeated and the Smile-Bringer will mention an imposter Smile-Bringer handing out shady gifts. The fake Smile-Bringer is an npc that is normally in the zone, but is strangely wearing a Dream Hat for some odd reason. Find the fake Smile-Bringer, confront him/her, then return to the real Smile-Bringer for your reward.

Inter-Nation warping is back again! Every Vana'diel day, you'll be able to recieve a Kiddie present from the Smile-Bringers. Trade that present to any child NPC to raise your festive fame.
