It was that green cone shaped hat....That was the item that was introduced and given it's own quest.... Thread answered ;)

The Sugarloaf hat has been available since day one of the event, all you had to do was leave lavender beds after getting quests to unlock your event dailies, then zone back into lavender beds and you could continue the event storyline quests which ended with you getting the Sugarloaf hat. Also, event page states specifically that the rewards are tied to the daily event quests.
My understanding (indeed I could be wrong though) was that new ("better") items will be added to those bags you can exchange the fallen stars for? Hence why I was holding getting any until 24th.
And the description on this item is wrong too as it says you would get several wonderful items but you always only get 1 (=! several) coin. (worth 100 or 500 gils)
I miss the point to "lie" about this.
