Pernicious Presents

Since the decoration of the three nations for the holiday season, the trees around town have attracted record crowds. Vana'diel appears to be shaded by the twin branches of peace and harmony...

However, according to the latest breaking news, the trees donated to each nation of Vana'diel last year by Windurst's Rhinostery are running amok and causing all sorts of havoc!

"Disposing of those trees should have been mere routine,
but they woke from their stasis, and boy, are they mean!
Talk to a moogle to lend us a hand,
and battle the menace that threatens the land.
More than ten of them are on the rampage, I fear!
These "Twinkling Treants" are ruining the New Year!"
says a representative of the Rhinostery.

Twinkling Treant sightings continue to pour in from all over the world. Find out more about the arboreal situation from your local Moogles and help cut down these bothersome botanical beasts!


[Participation Details:]

- The right to participate in this event can be acquired from Moogles dispatched to various areas throughout the nations.

- This right will become invalid after a certain amount of time.
It can also be forfeited by speaking to one of these Moogles again.

- A level restriction will be imposed while participating in the event. The level restriction differs between regions and, if you are equipped with items higher than the level restriction, they will automatically be unequipped.

- If you are defeated by a Twinkling Treant you will only lose experience points if you were not participating in the event. But be warned, experience points will be lost as usual if you are defeated by monsters unrelated to this event.

- Assuming they meet the necessary requirements, other players, parties, and alliances will be able to attack any Twinkling Treant you are engaging without being asked for help. These treants do not drop items.

- Defeat all the Twinkling Treants to receive a special surprise!

*This event is currently underway.

Some days ago I heard some buddies sighted some trees in Jugner Forest that appeared on the radar as NPCs.

Last night S-E made an emergency maintenance to the zones where the Twinkling Treants were. They lowered their Hit Points since no one was able to make even a dent to it's Health, but people are assumin it's on the billions count.

The news is posted here

They mention that if they kill all treants on that world they'll open a teleportation service between outpost.

Now I've been playing since this morning (9:00 AM CST) and we've been able to reduce to 45% of it's health bar the Treant in South Gustaberg. We are around 30 people trying to kill it at a time.

Seems the goal of this quest is to make people unite to kill it just like the Toad in Beta.

Ahhhh, so that's why the whole of San D'oria swarmed on them whenever they showed up yesterday.
