New Seasonal items nowhere to be found

This Lodestone page for the season clearly says new items would be introduced on December 24, yet nothing new is in the vendors. Was wondering if anybody knew where to find the elusive new items. Got three days worth of green stars saved up.

Technically speaking, they never said they'd be "new" items. They never said if they'd be daily quests of the seasonal variety either. In fact, it's all kinds of cryptic that statement.

Well, at the very least it says some "seasonal goods" will become available somehow on the 24th. Which means they should be available now.

Something should have changed, but it appears that nothing has changed.

Was the message in error, or has the change just not happened yet?

Only change I can see from when event started, is that you can get Hoary the Snowman for 6 green fallen stars, which is kind of redundant, since that's how many you'd get for exchanging a red, yellow and blue fallen star at the Mammet Interchanger #012T

Still waiting for these new items...

No dev response either. :(

Seasonal Items where added to the cash shop with last nights maintenance. The items where from 'daily quests' during last years event, Heavenstrum (I believe that was the event.) Namely, the various masks. While misleading, the post was technically correct. No where does it state that 'new' items are coming, but it is very misleading.

all i want is barding could care less about the rest

There were no daily quests for last years heavensturn event, you got all of the current years kabutos by doing the event storyline, and the pevious years kabutos were sold by a vendor.

hmm, there goes that theory. Maybe it was just adjusting the price of hoary so you could get it with only green stars? But that doesn't seem right either

still no dev response? lol got 12 stars saved just in case

The North American Community Team will begin our holiday break starting tomorrow with all of us returning in the new year. We wanted to let you know that during this time there may not be any comments posted from us, but we’ll still be checking in from time to time when we can (and of course… the GMs are always watching ;)).

GM support and the Support Center will still be available; however, please note that the Support Center will be closed during major holiday dates.

With all the tantalizing news that came out of the recent Fan Festival, I am sure everyone is just as excited as we are to hit the ground running for this new year! We’ll all be back in the office next year eager to get the ball rolling for Patch 2.5 and Heavensward!

Happy holidays from the Community Team and have a happy New Year!

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.
