Halloween is my favorite time of year and one of the things I love about Final Fantasy XIV is all the seasonal events that they have every year. The Halloween event for Final Fantasy XIV is All Saints Wake and it is a fun and nice break from the level grinding and adventuring. In order to participate in the event you must be at least level 15 and must have completed the quest It's Probably Pirates. To start the event you need to go to Old Gridania to start the festivities. The first quest of All Saints Wake is Fear and Delight.

You will want to talk to the Impresario who will instruct you on what you need to do. You will need to go to Jadeite Thick in Central Shroud and go to the location marked on your map. After that, you will do your quest event and complete it. Once that is finished, you return to the Impresario in Old Gridania.

The reward for completing the first event quest is the Circus Ahriman mount. The fun doesn't stop there however, because there are two more event quests that you can do. The next quest A Glamorous Guise has you talking to the Impresario again for an invitation to the haunted mansion.

This is a simple fun quest that allows you to change your form. Just talk to the imp in the manor and you can pick from a selection of choices from the story chapters in Final Fantasy XIV. For mine I chose to take the form of Hien from Stormblood. You can run around the mansion enjoying your new Halloween costume. You can remove the glamour when you are ready to leave the area.

There is one last quest and this one is repeatable. Speak to the Impresario to start Haunting Grounds. For this quest you will need a party of four and you will need to work together as a team.

Your team of adventurers will be transported to the haunted mansion and there are a few tests that you will need to do for this challenge. You need to work as a team to complete each task. There are monsters all over the mansion that you need to sneak around. If you are seen, you get turned into a pumpkin and your party's group sanity meter drops. There are charms throughout the mansion that help with this, turning you invisible for a few minutes. Once you have successfully completed the challenges in the haunted mansion you are rewarded with five pumpkin cookies.

The pumpkin cookies can be traded to the event vendor for items which are furnishings for your house in the game. There is a poster and an adorable pumpkin carriage. There are also magicked prisms which make fireworks in the shape of pumpkins.

All Saints Wake is one of my favorite events because Halloween is my favorite time of year. This year's event was a lot of fun and the items are great. The pumpkin carriage is fantastic, but make sure you have plenty of room in your yard outside your house because it is rather large. The event is ongoing until November 1, 2019 7:59 a.m. PDT. Get out there, celebrate, and have fun! Happy Halloween! See you at the next adventure!
