Christmas Event?!

Hey, I was just wondering of anyone knew what/if the bells around town do anything?

I have found 3 in Grid and Uldah ( have not checked LL yet.). You can target them and ring them by hitting it with a /snowball.

I did the first part and got my deer suit already but now I'm wondering about these bells.

I also just found a random ??? outside the tanners guild in grid but when clicked on it say I find nothing.

Anyone have any ideas?

So an update.

Found 3 bells in LL as well. Rang all three of them and still nothing..maybe something to come later.

its a nod back to the first events that involved ringing the bells. i take that back That consisted solely of ringing bells. As far as i can tell the only reason they are there is so we can throw snowballs at them.

It wasn't only ringing bells. Last year's event had us delivering presents.

So the bells might just be there for fun to throw snowballs at or for the coming new year's event? All good ideas. Guess we wait and see.

That's for one of the LTW class quests; it's been there for a long time.

During the last live letter from yoshi-p he showed a pic of the deer suit and a Chocobo in Christmas armor. Saying it was part of this event or something..

I forgot about the Chocobo with christmas armor... That would be cool!

/snowball rang the bells I could find, but nothing so far. I did not find 3 in any town yet. Perhaps we should share where we found them?

IMO the bells were just a "funny" joke of dev team regarding the original dev team X-Mas event.

anyone know about the dragon Kabuto helms i cant seem to find any information on them at all and seems know 1 i've asked knows anything

Kabuto is for the New Years event.

ah thank you very much :)

In the live letter Yoshi-P said getting the Christmas armor would be similar to the way we got our Chocoob in the first place. So maybe we have to buy it from the GC. I'm not at the highest current rank and do not see it on the list of items.

So if anyone is highest rank in their GC that can check and let us all know that would be cool.

Also I will post the <pos> of the bells, but I think everyone might be right that they are just there for fun.

I think he meant in general, war mounts would be obtained same way as chocobo (from your GC).

is the xmass suit still obtainable? haven't seen it around, but haven't checked for it. 'cause if it isn't and season events are a one time only thing... AWESOME.

Last year's suit is not available this year. I still happen to be holding on to materials though to make a couple pieces :) (plus my overstock from last year)

You can probably find it for sale in the Markets.

Hey gang I got all three bell pos for uldah. Wanted to do the others but I got too tired...
Uldah Bells.
1. X4 Y5
2. X7 Y6
3 X7 Y5
I'm sure the bells are just for fun but people were asking so here ya go!

What exactly did we have to do during the event?

I just talked with the NPC, walked around town a bit, went back and had acquired all the ice needed. At some point I must've done something to trigger that, but what was it?

You had to go out and throw the snowballs at the snowman. >_>

Look at the journal
You need to go to the Harmlet near Treespeak (Black Shroud)

I already did the quest. However, you had to pick the quest, where it asked to gather 30 ice something. After that, it asked to speak with the NPC again so he made the snowballs, then go to the black shroud and /snowball Father Frost.

However, on that first step, I don't remember doing anything special at all to get the ice, I just walked around town a bit then talked with NPC again. This is the point where I want to know what I was supposed to do, because it simply flagged as 'done'.

I've already completed the quest, I even got the reindeer avatar lol.

It was ice shards from your crystals inventory

Has anyone got any info on the Christmas armor for the Chocobo yet? Anyone max rank in their GC to see if it's up for sale?

The holiday chocobo fittings are another relic from last year. I don't think they intended to let players put it on there birds. Heck they have not even put in the armor system for the personal birds yet.

But yoshi-p said that we could get it..or at least that's what I thought! But your prolly right.

The snowmen are growing...

There is absolutely no armor for Chocobos in the game and there is no way to equip anything of the sort, I honestly don't know why you're going on about this.

On one hand I agree but the npc quests aren't really that different without any cutscenes are they? You might as well recieve quest leves from a telephone pole or an aerythe if they aren't going to use the 3d models and animation rigs already in the game for anything.
