Request for Starlight Festival Gift Ideas

With the Starlight Festival right around the corner, I find myself in a bit of a predicament.

I have four good friends in-game that are really wonderful and I’d like to show them my appreciation this Starlight Festival by giving them an extra special gift, but I have no idea what to get the character that has already has everything. My friends are all higher level than me with one or more level 60’s and most of them have maxed out their crafting across the board as well. I am still working on my first level 60 and my crafting isn’t even level 19 yet. I’ve been working the FC garden trying to cross-breed a mini-pet but that is going to be tricky and require a bit of luck to just get one mini-pet. Also, I’m willing to put the time into the Hard/Extreme Mode dungeons for a random drop to give as a gift and I need to level anyways, so that is a plus on both fronts, but I worry that I’ll still end up empty handed if the Primal of RNG turns out to be The Grinch...


My question is: What would you recommend as a really great gift that is not too expensive or difficult to obtain that I can give to my friends? Or should I just try to focus on leveling my crafting to make something nice that fits the spirit of the season?


For those players with everything, what gift could a lower level character give that would mean something special to you?

Well an idea is to look at or ask what they seem to craft a lot of. I know as the basic weaver (60) of my FC, dew thread is always a pain to come by and buying from the market board is a bit costly. Perhaps if you notice anyone who uses a lot of a certain materials you could farm them a full stack. Granted for the blacksmiths and such you would need your miner at least a fair amount. It's really hard to shop for people who don't need anything. The next best thing is gil but I'd personally reject it from a lower level person unless they were quitting.

Your best bet for something you can actually obtain would be a special minion they don't have, as you said grinding some dungeons for a random drop.

Otherwise just your time can be a great boon to many people as another mentioned farming some basic items is always good for the crafter in your life. A really special item that takes some didication (Or lots of gil in some cases) are materials to get the special glamor version of primal weapons, good luck finding a group to run anything unsyched though.
