All Saints’ Wake 2026: Start Here
All Saints’ Wake 2026 runs from October 15 to November 2, with the level-15 quest We Scare Bears starting in Old Gridania. Speak to the Pumpkin-headed Apparition at X:10.2 Y:9.4. The event’s featured rewards include a colorful Grisly Bear outfit and seasonal furnishings.
The important deadline is the end of the event, not simply accepting the quest. Square Enix states that seasonal quests cannot be completed after the event concludes, so finish the relevant objectives and inspect the reward and vendor windows while it is available.
Key Takeaways
- The starting quest is We Scare Bears, requiring level 15.
- The Pumpkin-headed Apparition is in Old Gridania at X:10.2 Y:9.4.
- The event ends November 2 at 6:59 a.m. PST, or 14:59 UTC.
- The displayed event items include Grisly Bear Head, Grisly Bear Suit and several furnishings.
- Some previous-event items return through the bespectacled peddler; the announcement does not promise every past reward.
- Complete the seasonal quests before the deadline; accepting them is not an extension.
Dates, access and the event-item list follow the official 2026 event page. Item names in the rewards table link directly to their Eorzea Database entries.
End Time and Your Local Countdown
The event crosses the North American change from daylight to standard time. Its start is published in PDT and its end in PST. Use the specific UTC times below rather than applying one Pacific offset to both dates.
| Milestone | Published Pacific time | UTC |
|---|---|---|
| Event begins | October 15, 2026 · 1:00 a.m. PDT | October 15 · 08:00 UTC |
| Event ends | November 2, 2026 · 6:59 a.m. PST | November 2 · 14:59 UTC |
The timer converts the announced end to your device’s local time. It changes to an ended message at the deadline and does not grant a quest extension.
Allow time for the objectives, conversations and reward checks rather than planning to begin at the final minute. Publisher dates remain subject to change; check the event page if the game displays a revised schedule.
Where to Pick Up We Scare Bears
Travel to Old Gridania and look for the Pumpkin-headed Apparition at the marked location. This is the 2026 starting NPC and quest; an older All Saints’ Wake guide can send you toward a different year’s story.
- Use a character at level 15 or above and travel to Old Gridania.
- Speak with the Pumpkin-headed Apparition at X:10.2 Y:9.4 to take We Scare Bears.
- Follow the live quest objectives and complete any follow-up event conversations.
- Inspect the reward window and event vendor before leaving; check the items on the character you intend to use.
This is a starting route and completion checklist. The announcement does not document every intermediate dialogue choice or publish a universal completion time, so the live quest tracker is the authority once you begin.
2026 Event Rewards and Returning Furnishings
Use the official names when checking the item or vendor window. A poster with an older Roman-numeral year in its name can be a returning item listed during the current event; it does not mean the 2026 schedule is incorrect.
| Item | Category | Official details |
|---|---|---|
| Grisly Bear Head | Armor · head | View item entry |
| Grisly Bear Suit | Armor · body | View item entry |
| Smiling Wakeshroom | Furnishing | View item entry |
| Staring Wakeshroom | Furnishing | View item entry |
| Wakesoul Buggy | Furnishing | View item entry |
| All Saints’ Wake MMXXV Advertisement | Advertisement furnishing | View item entry |
| Tabletop All Saints’ Wake MMXXV Advertisement | Advertisement furnishing | View item entry |
| All Saints’ Wake MMXVI Advertisement | Advertisement furnishing | View item entry |
The event page lists armor and furnishings together, while the live quest and vendor interfaces show how the individual items are obtained. Read that distinction before assuming that every listed furnishing arrives automatically with the first quest reward.
The bespectacled peddler offers certain items from previous iterations. Check the actual stock for anything you missed in an earlier year; the wording is deliberately narrower than “all previous rewards are back.” This guide does not invent currency costs or an account-wide entitlement.
A Quick Collection Check Before You Leave
- The seasonal quest objectives are finished, rather than merely accepted.
- I inspected the Grisly Bear Head and Suit rewards on the intended character.
- I checked the furnishings and the bespectacled peddler’s current stock.
- I have room for any purchased furnishings and know where I intend to use them.
- I checked the local end time and left enough time for any remaining objectives.
Cosmetic collection is easiest to verify immediately. If an item appears missing, check inventory and the completed quest or vendor transaction before repeating unrelated activities.
More to Do in FFXIV After the Event
If the event brings you back to Eorzea after a break, the live Beastmaster guide covers the limited job’s unlock and first captures. Its Crucible ranking season has its own access requirements and schedule. Neither is required to begin We Scare Bears.
FAQ
When does All Saints’ Wake 2026 end?
The official deadline is November 2, 2026 at 6:59 a.m. PST, equivalent to 14:59 UTC. The countdown above converts that timestamp into your device’s local time and changes its message when the deadline passes.
What level do I need?
The starting quest requires level 15. Go to the Pumpkin-headed Apparition in Old Gridania at X:10.2 Y:9.4 and look for We Scare Bears.
Can I finish the quest after the event ends?
Square Enix explicitly says seasonal quests cannot be completed after the event concludes. Accepting the quest before the deadline does not establish an exception, so finish it while the event is running.
What is the bear outfit called?
The two armor entries are Grisly Bear Head and Grisly Bear Suit. The official item links above let you check their details without confusing the outfit with a mount or a reward from another year.
Are old rewards available?
Certain previous-event items are available from the bespectacled peddler. Check the current stock rather than assuming every past costume, furnishing or event reward has returned.
Why does the event start in PDT but end in PST?
The schedule crosses the regional daylight-saving change. The published start converts to October 15 at 08:00 UTC, while the end converts to November 2 at 14:59 UTC. Using the same Pacific offset for both would produce an incorrect conversion.
