Journal
- Amh Garanjy could use some help from an adventurer.
- ※ This quest is available for a limited time only.
- Strolling through the Starlight Celebration festivities in Gridania, you encounter Amh Garanjy, enthusiastic Starlight celebrant. With grand plans to provide kinderpunsch, a kind of mulled punch, to festivalgoers, Amh Garanjy entreats your aid in the preparations. Thankful for your willing assent, she bids you join her at the Starlight Stalls, which you may travel to by speaking with the Starlight Stalls guide at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre.
- ※Please note that you will be unable to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For details, please check the Lodestone.
- You have arrived at the Starlight Stalls, located on Gridania's outskirts, where you catch sight of Amh Garanjy. You make your way over to her to hear further details on the planned punch.
- ※In the event that you leave the Starlight Stalls, you may return by speaking with the Starlight Stalls guide at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre.
- Speaking with Amh Garanjy and Mother Miounne, you learn of the plan to create three separate types of kinderpunsch to represent Gridania, Limsa Lominsa, and Ul'dah—each to be served in an appropriately decorated festive mug. Miounne is still unsure of the best blends to encapsulate the other cities, but there are doubtless some experts on regional cuisine among the visitors to the Gridanian markets. You keep an eye out for anyone who may be able to furnish you with advice and inspiration for the mulled punch recipes.
- You have acquired some useful pointers from several visitors to Gridania. Eager to share your findings with Amh Garanjy, you make your way back to Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre.
- Brimming with inspiration, Amh Garanjy sets about making arrangements to procure the required ingredients. In the meantime, she bids you speak to the children visiting the Starlight Stalls and inform them of the upcoming kinderpunsch on offer. She suggests you take note of any preferences they express, to better recommend a refreshment to their tastes.
- ※You may travel to the Starlight Stalls by speaking with the guide at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre.
- The children are now suitably informed and enthused. Your task accomplished, you go to seek out the saturnine Starlight celebrant in order to assist in serving the kinderpunsch.
- All the children have been furnished with beverages and are pleased as punch. At the encouragement of the saturnine Starlight celebrant, who steps in to relieve you of your duties, you return to Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre to inform Amh Garanjy of the success at the stalls.
- While all the children enjoyed their drinks, it seems that Joultain—a young boy with a strong wanderlust—is particularly replete with festive cheer, thanks to the help of a certain adventurer. If, inspired by the spirit of Starlight, you wish to assist with the punch stall once more, you may speak to the saturnine Starlight celebrant at the Starlight Stalls.

Apologies, the stalls are overcrowded at present. I'd be happy to show you there once the number of attendees has eased.
Accepting the quest
If the player has not completed a Starlight Celebration quest before
Happy Starlight, adventurer! I am Amh Garanjy, Starlight celebrant. And you are called Forename Surname, you say? 'Tis a pleasure to make your acquaintance! Might this be your first time partaking in the festivities?
If the player has completed a Starlight Celebration quest before
Forename! What a pleasure it is to see you again in this most festive of seasons. Allow me to reiterate my thanks for your contributions to Starlights past!
Inspired by an old Ishgardian tale, the Starlight Celebration is about granting the wishes of children. And this year, we are bringing back the festive market that offers joy and merriment to young and old alike: the Starlight Stalls!
The first time around, the Carline Canopy supplied us with kinderpunsch, a kind of mulled punch, which we provided to guests. It proved tremendously popular, so we are planning to provide it again─with a twist!
Alas, with all the celebrants busy attending to the preparation at the stalls, we haven't been able to get working on said twist...
If you are not otherwise occupied, might you be willing to lend us a hand?
The Player nods
I am truly grateful! Without further ado, please join me at the Carline Canopy stall at the market. There, I shall explain the particulars to you.
When you are ready, the guide yonder will be glad to escort you through. I shall see you anon!
Speak with Amh Garanjy at the Starlight Stalls.
Ah, so you are the adventurer who has agreed to help us! If you would follow me, I shall take you to the Starlight Stalls.
Head to the Starlight Stalls?
Yes
No
Optional dialogue
We're currently preparing our new product range. Please come back later!
My thanks again for assisting us. I've asked Miounne to join me in explaining our punch plans. She should be along any moment now.
Start of cutscene.Ah, so you're the adventurer who's been roped in to help.
If the player has not completed the 2024 Starlight questline
As Amh may have mentioned, at last year's festival, the Carline Canopy prepared kinderpunsch for the people. This was distributed in mugs with a Gridanian design.
If the player has completed the 2024 Starlight questline
An excellent choice, given the fine work you did distributing the punch last festival. It was a favorite among attendees, and the mugs had the desired effect of promoting the Carline Canopy.
When I mentioned this to my guild counterparts in the other city-states, they were keen to have their homes represented on the mugs as well. And so we had these beauties made.
They bear local vistas and motifs, such as a galleon for Limsa Lominsa and a cactuar for Ul'dah, with seasonal flourishes worked in for the festive touch.
Since we have now three lovely mugs, we thought it would be fitting to serve up three varieties of kinderpunsch.
In Gridania, punch is traditionally made by simmering the juice of locally grown apples with blood currants, cinnamon, and various herbs.
For the Lominsan and Ul'dahn varieties, I'm keen to incorporate ingredients found in their respective locales, but I haven't been able to decide on what...
And therein lies our request!
Hello! Could we get some mulled punch, please?
Whoa, new mug designs!
Are the pictures of other cities? I wonder what they're like!
Ah, young Joultain! The punch isn't ready yet, but it shan't be long now. We are currently preparing two new varieties, you see, using ingredients from the cities shown on these mugs.
Hehe, it does me well to see the younglings' curiosity for faraway lands.
It further motivates me to serve up kinderpunsch that will not disappoint—which brings me back to the task we have for you.
We ask that you investigate what ingredients we should use to create punch that best captures each nation.
Gridania's market attracts many visitors from the realm over. An adventurer such as yourself should have no trouble identifying suitable individuals─and coaxing out the relevant information.
Your confidence is most assuring! I shall apprise the other celebrants of the situation, and then return to Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre. I look forward to your findings!
End of cutscene.
Speak with visitors to Gridania near the markets.
Optional dialogue
So you're an adventurer? That's so amazing!
My thanks again for your kind assistance. I look forward to hearing what ingredients are suggested for our new varieties of kinderpunsch!
You want to make punch with a Lominsan twist? Then you'll want to use plenty of La Noscean oranges, lowland grapes, and lemons.
La Noscean citrus is renowned far and wide. It's featured heavily in Lominsan cuisine ever since sailors started using it to ward off scurvy, and I always ensure that our restaurant has ample stock.
I'm in charge of procurement at the Bismarck, you see. If you're after quality citrus, I'd be glad to introduce you to our suppliers!
Optional dialogue
If you're making punch with a Lominsan twist, I guarantee you can't go wrong with La Noscean citrus!
What's that? Ingredients that are distinctly Ul'dahn? Well, most of my countrymen would say nopal and spices...but that would be selling our cuisine short, for dining should be an adventure!
The thrill of the unknown... The triumph of audacity... A dish should have all the drama of a championship bout at the Coliseum, oh yes!
Such an experience may be a little stimulating for children, but we grown-ups can appreciate a little excitement. Wouldn't you agree?
You wish to make a drink that represents Ul'dah? Tea would be a good place to start. We Ul'dahns can't get through the day without a good, strong brew!
It's served up anywhere you can get a feed—doesn't matter if it's a slap-up meal or just a sweet treat. I've heard tell that the sultana takes hers with generous helpings of butter and honey.
Aside from tea, Thanalan has specialties like vanilla, cloves, black pepper, and pearl ginger. The finest stuff can cost as much as gemstones.
Optional dialogue
If you're making a drink that represents Ul'dah, it needs to have tea in it. Butter and spice would make good accents too!
Speak with Amh Garanjy at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre
Welcome back, Forename. Were you able to learn anything promising?
Oh, those ingredients seem representative of Limsa Lominsa and Ul'dah indeed! We celebrants should be able to procure the items, so pray leave it to us!
Once the kinderpunsch has been prepared, we would be pleased if you would do the honors and serve it. When it is time, please present yourself to my colleague at the Starlight Stalls.
And if you happen to have a moment now, might I trouble you to speak with the little ones from earlier?
I am hoping that you could learn which city holds the greatest interest for each of them. In so doing, you would be able to recommend varieties of punch that would be the most meaningful.
Optional dialogue
Please find the little ones and learn what city holds the greatest interest for each of them. And when it is time to distribute the punch, my colleague at the Starlight Stalls will assist you.
The Starlight Stalls are in full swing! Will you be heading there?
Speak with children visiting the Starlight Stalls.
Optional dialogue
Rest assured our preparations are proceeding apace. One enthusiastic young man even offered to help.
The punch is almost ready? I can't wait to have some!
What do I like to eat? Hmmm...fruits! We have apples and berries here in the wood, but I'd love to try fruits from other places too.
Optional dialogue
I'll head over soon! I can't wait to see what kinds of punch there'll be. Something with fruits from other places, I hope!
They're giving out hot drinks...? That sounds great!
Um...I'm visiting with my mum. It's my first time in Gridania...so I guess I want to learn more about everything here.
Optional dialogue
It's my first time in Gridania...so I guess I want to learn more about everything here.
Oh, you're the adventurer from before! The mulled punch is almost ready? Hooray!
I want to learn about all new places, so it's hard to decide on a punch. There's no ocean in Gridania, so it's my dream to go sailing everywhere on a big ship!
Optional dialogue
I want to learn about all new places. One day, I'll go sailing everywhere on a big ship!
Speak with the saturnine Starlight celebrant.
Ah, excellent timing. We've received the last of the ingredients and are now brewing the new varieties of kinderpunsch.
We expect a throng of children will descend upon us as soon as we begin serving. Are you ready to attend to them?
Are you ready to serve the punch?
I'm ready!
I'd like to review the characteristics of the cities and their punch.
Gridania is located in the Black Shroud, the dominion of the elementals. The Carline Canopy's kinderpunsch uses generous amounts of apple and cinnamon, and is a veritable bounty of the forest.
Limsa Lominsa is a culinary cradle, where myriad cultures have come together courtesy of trade on the seas.
The Lominsan kinderpunsch blends foreign spices with La Noscean citruses, to produce a fusion of flavor that reflects the mingling of peoples in the city.
Ruled by the sultana Nanamo Ul Namo, the nation of Ul'dah thrives on commerce. Its bazaars are lined with exotic wares brought in by caravans, while the Coliseum throngs with nobles who seek the thrill of gladiatorial combat.
The Ul'dahn kinderpunsch is made by simmering dried fruits and black pepper in a sweet butter tea. The result is a flavor that is royally rich as well as stimulating.
Not just yet...
The following event cannot be skipped. You may wish to cancel any pending Duty Finder registrations.
Start serving the punch?
Yes
No
Cutscene Begins
A boy approaches the stall.
A friend of mine used to live in Ul'dah, and he tells me stories about it. I've always wanted to know what it's like there...if you have something like that?
What will you serve?
Gridanian punch.
Wow, this is really good! But...is the flavor really Ul'dahn? I'm going to get my friend and ask him about it!
Lominsan punch.
Wow, this is really good! But...is the flavor really Ul'dahn? I'm going to get my friend and ask him about it!
Ul'dahn punch.
Wow, this is really good, like a sweet tea with spices! Is this what Ul'dah smells like, I wonder... I'm going to get my friend to come too!
The boy leaves the scene.
A girl approaches the stall.
I'd love to see what fruits from other places taste like. Do you have a punch that's made with them?
What will you serve?
Gridanian punch.
This is a bit different, but it's still very nice! There's also a stall nearby selling orange juice, so I'll go and try some later.
Lominsan punch.
Oh, it's sour, but sweet! I love it! I had no idea they grew so many kinds of citruses in La Noscea.
Ul'dahn punch.
This is a bit different, but it's still very nice! There's also a stall nearby selling orange juice, so I'll go and try some later.
The girl leaves the scene.
A boy approaches the stall, and notices the girl.
You here for punch too? Come on, let's go up together!
A-Alright!
I heard there's a place called the Coliseum where gladiators fight each other. I want a punch that'll make me feel like I'm there!
What will you serve?
Gridanian punch.
Ahhh, the spices in the punch are firing me up! I have to go and train—right now!
Lominsan punch.
Ahhh, the spices in the punch are firing me up! I have to go and train—right now!
Ul'dahn punch.
So the Coliseum is in Ul'dah? I'd love to see a fight there one day...but right now there's a fight in my own mouth! Whew, the spices in this punch sure pack a punch!
The camera pans to the girl.
Um...hello again. I've never had mulled punch before. I'm not sure which one I should try...
What will you serve?
Gridanian punch.
Thank you! I love the apple flavor, and the mug is beautiful too! Oh, I hope I can meet some moogles while I'm in Gridania!
Lominsan punch.
It's warm and delicious, thank you! It's been really fun here at the stalls. I'm going to keep exploring!
Ul'dahn punch.
It's warm and delicious, thank you! It's been really fun here at the stalls. I'm going to keep exploring!
The boy and girl leave the scene.
Joultain, who has been conversing with the Saint of Nymeia in the background this whole time, approaches the stall.
Hmmm, what to choose... I suppose I'd like a punch that makes me feel like I'm sailing somewhere far away!
What will you serve?
Gridanian punch.
Wow, what a great blend of flavors! That reminds me, the merchants at the markets also sell wares from faraway places. I should take a closer look at them next time!
Lominsan punch.
Wow, what a great blend of flavors! And I just love the design on the mug. It's ships like this that connect the whole world!
Ul'dahn punch.
Wow, what a great blend of flavors! That reminds me, the merchants at the markets also sell wares from faraway places. I should take a closer look at them next time!
Thank you, mister/miss! I've had a lot of fun!
Joultain leaves the stall.
Saturnine Starlight Celebrant approaches the stall.
If the player picked fitting punch to the request
It seems the children really enjoyed their punch. You did well indeed with your selections.
If the player did not pick fitting punch to the request
Well, that appears to be all of the children for now. Our thanks for helping them to enjoy their punch.
From hereon, we celebrants will tend to the punch distribution with your fine example as a guide. You need only report back to Amh Garanjy─she will be eager to know how we fare.
Cutscene Ends
Optional dialogue
Please leave the rest of the distribution to us, and report back to Amh Garanjy. She will be eager to know how we fare.
Speak with Amh Garanjy at Mih Khetto’s Amphitheatre.
Start of cutscene.I've just finished putting out a few proverbial fires at the guild, so I thought I'd come by and see how you were getting on.
The more the merrier, as I always say! And if you're here, my friend, may I assume that the kinderpunsch has been handed out to the little ones as planned?
We are truly in your debt. With your help, we have not only brought the children festive cheer, but also expanded their horizons.
Of course, they're all more than welcome to return and try the other types of punch. The longer they enjoy themselves at the stalls, the better.
There you are, adventurer! I wanted to thank you again─and Miss Garanjy and Miounne too!
It was absolutely our pleasure. If you enjoyed the punch, then nothing would please us more.
When I grow up, I want to be someone who knows lots about the world like you, mister/miss! I'll go and see what's out there for myself, and tell everyone all about it.
And I want to tell everyone about Gridania too. The Starlight Stalls have reminded me just how much I love it here!
That is a wonderful wish, and I've no doubt that the Spinner Herself has heard it!
When the time comes, it'll be my pleasure to register you as an adventurer, young man. And I'll look forward to hearing your tales of courage and high adventure.
That goes for you as well, of course.
It seems you've truly inspired young Joultain. And should you still have time to spare, you could potentially inspire even more souls─by helping us serve up more kinderpunsch!
We'd also be glad if you simply enjoyed the festivities hereon─it is entirely up to you. While the celebration continues, our guide will be pleased to show you to the stalls. My thanks again, Forename, and happy Starlight!
End of cutscene.
The vendors at the Starlight Stalls are now open for business!
You can speak to the saturnine Starlight celebrant at the Starlight Stalls if you wish to help serve more kinderpunsch.
In so doing, you may well encounter some familiar faces!
Optional dialogue
I hope you enjoy the Starlight Stalls to the fullest, forename!
I shall head there myself shortly to try the new varieties of punch. At this time of year, few things are better than warming oneself up with a hot, delicious drink!
Post-quest optional activity
Optional dialogue: Joultain: It's so exciting thinking about all the new places out there! I'll never forget this feeling no matter how many places I see!
Saturnine Starlight Celebrant: Ah, you're back. The people can't get enough of our punch, and it's all I can do to keep mugs filled. I could use your help with the serving again, if you are willing?
Saturnine Starlight Celebrant: I should mention that a curious lady came by earlier. She spoke passionately about the “spirit of culinary adventure” before gifting us an array of unusual ingredients. Though I was skeptical at first, quite a few guests have enjoyed them in their beverage as an accent.
Saturnine Starlight Celebrant: So if you have the urge add a little something extra when you serve up a mug, I leave it at your discretion. I would just be glad for the break!
System: Start serving punch? (Yes/No)
System: You bring the pots of punch to a gentle simmer. The enticing aroma attracts someone to the stall!
Who could it be? (available options depend on the player's Main Scenario Quest progression)
- The owner of the Carline Canopy.
- The proprietor of the Drowned Wench.
- The proprietress of the Quicksand.
- One of the Seedseers.
- The lord commander of the Temple Knights.
- A representative of the East Aldenard Trading Company.
- The satrap of Radz-at-Han and a diminutive dragon.
- A world explorer in search of the unknown.
> The owner of the Carline Canopy. Miounne: I thought I smelled a lovely aroma! I've already sampled the new varieties, so may I please have a mug of Gridanian punch? It will be interesting to see how yours compares to the Canopy's house blend.
What will you serve?
- Standard Gridanian punch
- Miounne: That's very tasty indeed! Thank you─you've been a great help.
- Miounne: The Starlight Stalls have earned quite a stellar reputation─pardon the pun─and there are noticeably more guests from outside Gridania this year.
- Miounne: From locals to visitors and children to grown-ups, the joy is plain to see on every face. Nothing could bring us stallholders more joy.
- Gridanian punch with chanterelle mushroom.
- Miounne: Is this grated chanterelle? Interesting. These fragrant mushrooms are sought after for culinary and medicinal purposes, but I'd never imagined tasting it in a sweet drink.
- Miounne: While it might require a more mature palate, there's a depth to this punch that's quite enjoyable. I'd be happy to have it again.
Miounne: Well, I should return to my duties. When you have a spare moment from your own, do come and relax at the Canopy.
> The proprietor of the Drowned Wench.
Baderon: I couldn't 'elp but come to see our Lominsan mugs bein' used. An' suffice it to say I'd be much obliged fer some punch too.
What will you serve?
- Standard Lominsan punch.
- Baderon: Aye, the sourness o' the citrus an' the sting o' the spice make fer a right fine drop.
- Baderon: We Lominsans ain't so keen on Gridania this time o' year on account o' the freezin' cold, but a nice warm drink makes a world o' difference. This'll keep me goin' as I take in the sights 'neath the snow.
- "Sweet Tooth" Lominsan chocolate punch.
- Baderon: Bugger me, that's sweeter than a siren's kiss! Ye put chocolate in 'ere, did ye? An' a whole bleedin' sack o' sugar too, by the taste of it.
- Baderon: Still, there's folk as like somethin' a little unusual. An' ye'd be surprised 'ow many seadogs 'ave a sweet tooth, what with sugar bein' used to preserve food on voyages. Aye, I reckon ye might be onto somethin' 'ere.
Baderon: Anyroad, I'd best be on me way. Thanks fer the 'ospitality─next time yer in Limsa, stop by the Wench and I'll return the gesture.
> The proprietress of the Quicksand.
Momodi: Miounne invited me to Gridania for the Starlight Celebration, and I couldn't say no. Might I trouble you for a mug of Ul'dahn punch?
What will you serve?
- Standard Ul'dahn punch.
- Momodi: Oh my, what a lovely, full-bodied brew! You definitely didn't skimp on the butter.
- Momodi: It'd go great with crumpets and would definitely be a hit in Ul'dah. What do you say you come and brew it for me at the Quicksand sometime?
- Momodi: Hehe, I'm just kiddin'. Long as I've been in the business of servin' food and drink, it's a force of habit to consider the possibilities.
- Ul'dahn punch with nopal pulp.
- Momodi: Well now, what a delicious drink! You've added nopal─cactus flesh─unless I'm mistaken?
- Momodi: Plenty of folk enjoy nopal roasted in savory dishes, but it works surprisingly well with sweet flavors too. I might have to try adding it to our menu...
Momodi: Thank you kindly! Whenever you're in Ul'dah, be sure to stop by at the Quicksand, you hear?
> One of the Seedseers.
Raya-O-Senna: Mulled punch for the guests? What a delightful idea.
Raya-O-Senna: Lest you wonder, my sister Kan-E is busy as is her wont, so I am attending the festivities in her stead. I shall have a Gridanian punch, if you would be so kind.
What will you serve?
- Standard Gridanian punch.
- Raya-O-Senna: How fragrant and delicious! 'Tis a flavor that we can proudly call Gridanian to forestborn and visitors alike.
- Raya-O-Senna: Might I ask for two more mugs of the same, for my brother and sister?
- Raya-O-Senna: Wonderful, I shall have my attendants deliver these ere they grow cold. My gratitude for the drinks─and for your contribution to the celebration.
- "Moogle Pom Surprise" Gridanian punch.
- Raya-O-Senna: Did you say “moogle pom”!?
- Raya-O-Senna: ..So it is simply a confection made to resemble a pom? That is certainly a relief─and for my companions especially. Without further ado, then, I shall give it a taste.
- Raya-O-Senna: Well now, that is perfectly delicious! Just...try not to frighten the children overmuch, do you hear?
> The lord commander of the Temple Knights.
Aymeric: What a pleasant surprise to find you here, forename. 'Tis a great joy to spread cheer to the children during Starlight season—though, I must confess, this little helper finds himself in need of refreshment. Might I ask for a mug of the local Gridanian punch?
What will you serve?
- Standard Gridanian punch.
- Aymeric: Ahh, how exquisitely the cinnamon punctuates the sweetness. 'Tis the very taste of respite.
- Aymeric: The Starlight Celebration has its roots in Ishgard. To see the warmth and cheer being spread in all corners of Eorzea makes me feel both proud and grateful.
- Gridanian punch with a generous dash of birch syrup.
- Aymeric: Well, now... While this punch tastes quintessentially Gridanian, there is no mistaking the Ishgardian accent. Might this be an acknowledgement of the Starlight Celebration's origins...?
- Aymeric: Yet regardless of the intent, the generous amount of birch syrup is a wonderful touch, and during this most special of seasons, I shall allow myself the indulgence.
Aymeric: My thanks for the fine drink and company both. By your leave, I shall return to my duties—many children yet await their Starlight gifts, and 'twould not do to keep them!
> A representative of the East Aldenard Trading Company.
Hancock: Oh my, if it isn't forename! Having concluded some business discussions nearby, I thought to drop by the festivities. What a pleasant surprise to find your esteemed self manning a stand.
Hancock: You are serving punch to guests, it would seem, and far be it from me to turn it down. I should like a mug of the Ul'dahn variety, if you'd be so kind.
What will you serve?
- Standard Ul'dahn punch.
- Hancock: Ah, what an unmistakably Ul'dahn─and nostalgic─taste! And what a fine example this stall is of “omotenashi,” which, in Hingan, refers to the deep-seated practice of wholeheartedly caring for one's guests.
- Hancock: I am also impressed with the offering of three flavors─a wise business decision that encourages repeated patronage.
- Hancock: Indeed, the entire enterprise of the Starlight Stalls is inspired. And in offering the chance for children to experience other cultures, it has attracted my interest─as an individual and a representative as the East Aldenard Trading Company both!
- "Namazu Whisker Delight" Ul'dahn punch.
- Hancock: I beg your pardon, did you say “Namazu whisker”? Come now, that is surely a jest. I assume you are referring to some manner of ingredient that appears as a whisker—a strand of spice, mayhap.
- Hancock: Goodness me, that is certainly...distinctive.
- Hancock: When seeking to introduce a new specialty, I suppose uniqueness is a way to pierce a crowded market...
Hancock: Well, the drink has had quite an invigorating effect. So if you will excuse me, I shall continue to peruse the stalls.
> The satrap of Radz-at-Han and a diminutive dragon.
Varshahn: What fortune to meet you here, my friend. I had heard tell of the festivities while attending to some matters abroad, and decided to make a detour and tour the stalls. Varshahn: I must say, I also smell some familiar fragrances... If you are serving beverages to guests, then 'twould be improper not to accept. May I trouble you for a mug?
What will you serve?
- Standard Lominsan punch.
- Varshahn: Ah, so you have used Hannish spices. It never fails to gladden me to see our produce being embraced in foreign lands.
- Varshahn: And to see that, no matter where we hail from, we are united in the joy we find in festivals.
- Varshahn: Perhaps I shall try to incorporate some aspects of Eorzean celebrations into our own. Yes, I believe it would make a fine gift to my people.
- Extra hot 'n' spicy Lominsan punch.
- Varshahn: <chuckle> I see you have spared no spice in this drink, my friend. I was able to taste it even with this vessel.
- Varshahn: ...I daresay Zero would enjoy it. They still serve her special curry at the meyhane on occasion. And when they do, it never fails to get lively.
- Varshahn: But to return to the subject of the drink─do take care with the amount of spice. I expect the children here are no less inquisitive than those in Radz-at-Han, and may unknowingly bite off more than they can chew!
> A world explorer in search of the unknown.
Erenville: I happened to have an urgent request nearby, so I thought I'd visit the stalls...and who should I run into again but you. Well, seeing you serving punch is a new experience at least. I'll have an Ul'dahn one please.
What will you serve?
- Standard Ul'dahn punch.
- Erenville: Not bad, not bad. It's interesting to note that while the flora of Thanalan and Yyasulani bear many similarities, their cuisines have evolved rather differently.
- Erenville: Though my work for the guildship took me to all manner of places, I rarely had time to enjoy proper meals. As an independent contractor, I can allow myself to take in not only the sights at my destinations, but the tastes as well.
- Erenville: My thanks for the drink. I think I'll take a look around the Starlight Stalls and then go on a stroll through the forest. There is much to see and do!
- Ul'dahn punch with sabotender garnish.
- Erenville: By the Twelve...
- Erenville: This is sabotender, isn't it?
- Erenville: Not you too, [Forename]... They aren't entirely inedible, I concede, but putting them in a sweet drink? There are limits, for gods' sake.
- Erenville: <sigh> When you travel the world, you truly encounter all kinds of things─and people. I suppose I owe you for that at least...
