Thanks to everyone in the "New year quest..." thread for helping compile the information on this new and unique event as well as all the info gatherers on this thread!
This guide is free to distribute and share with everyone, but please don't claim it as your own or repost it with giving credit! D:


([blue]Overview[/blue])
This event will last from December 31st to approximately January 15th. The items you can obtain during this event are the Battledore and the "Hoary Spire" furnishing. There are also families of Bugards roaming various zones, which give you other various items.

(Step 1: [red]Start the event[/red])
There are three children that are communicating to their grandpa via linkshell. One of these three children NPCs can be found in the starting three nations. Talk to one of them to start the event!

You can find one of the children NPCs at the following locations:
Windurst Port - Pyru-Copyru - (B-4)
San d'Oria North - Jeanparmand - (D-8)
Bastok Markets - Bunta - (D-11)


(Step 2: [orange]Get the New Year's Gift![/orange])
Now you have to find a family of NPC Bugards that are roaming around various zones. By trading any item to the Wood Bugard, you get a random gift in return! Keep trading items until you get the "New Year's Gift" item, it may take a good number of trades. Once you get the "New Year's Gift" item, return to the child NPC who activated the event quest and trade it to him or her. Choose the second option when he asks you and you will then receive the Battledore club!

Locations of the family of Bugards:
Batallia Downs
Beaucedine glacier
East Altepa Desert
East Sarutabaruta
Qufim Island
Sanctuary of Zi'Tah
Sauromauge Campaign
Valkrum Dunes
West Ronfaure
Xarcabard

Other things you may receive from the Wood Bugard:
Shock Spikes Buff
Enthunder Buff
Protect/Shell Buff


(Step 3: [sea]Find the Old Man![/sea])
Now that you have your Battledore, its time to find the grandpa. Dilauriome can be found on the Jeuno to Windurst airship, on the upper deck. Talk to him with the Battledore equipped and he will ask you for 2 Black Inks and a Bast Parchment. Trade him the items and he will create for you the Copy of "Hoary Spire" furnishing. Congratulations, you now have both New Year's event items!

Yeah, ate alot of my cookies, crystals, and muteppo's. Gave only shock spikes and enthunder, grr. Maybe I can't get item til I talk to the little kid, or maybe til its actually the new year. Idk.

Someone said the furnishing had Moghancement: Money on it. I don't know what that is, but I want it.

Bastok Markets: Bunta (E-11)

The dialogue that the child says about 'Grandpa' is a bit disturbing... and then they reward you with a frat paddle. Nice. Go SE.

Edit: Besides the Enthunder and Shock Spikes buffs, you can also get Protect and Shell. None of the buffs last very long though.

Edit: After getting my Battledore, the kid asks me for another New Year's Gift. Are there other possible reward items besides the Battledore?
