    Dragatama & Friends

    Since it is coming up on the Year of the Dragon, I thought it clever that there is a parade of various NM dragons tramping around Xarcabard.

    Dragatama
    Wassailer Whitby
    Lucky Ladon
    Delightful Drake
    Auspicious Ajattara

    I tried talking with them and following them around but couldn't find a way to interact with them. I found one Japanese website which mentions something about a special New Year event that has been going on since 2006 that names these NMs, but my skill at reading Kanji is poor. I can only vaguely make out that they can accept item trades of some sort, but the details escape me.

    Anyone have any info on these guys?

    Upon further experimentation...

    If you trade gil to Dragatama (I tried 1000 gil each time), you will get a buff. (Protection, Enthunder, etc).

    Trade different little items to eventually get a cap. I believe theres a different cap in relation to the nation zones.

    I traded ninja tools, crystals, food snacks, etc.

    Good luck and happy new year everyone!

It encourages you to explore the whole breadth of content rather than asking you to bumrush and bypass all the old content just so you can grind the newer content. This is a model used by other MMOs such as WoW, and while I don't have anything against people that enjoy this model, if I wanted to play an MMO with that model there are many, many games vast superior to XI in terms of mechanics and especially customer service that offer such a model.

    Teegrins!

    Created a quick page at Gamer Escape for it on the 1st.
    • http://ffxi.gamerescape.com/wiki/Happy_New_Year_2012/Guide
    Far from a complete guide but as I said, just a quickie I made that hasn't been extended upon yet. It basically seems the same as last year, but with different NPC models and dialogue.


    I hope it helps~
