The 2025 Celebration Has Ended
All Saints’ Wake 2025 ran from October 17 at 08:00 UTC to November 4 at 14:59 UTC. Its featured collectibles were the pumpkin-headed Ambulario mount and a wall-mounted advertisement. The seasonal quest window is closed: accepting a quest during the event did not extend its completion deadline.
For the celebration running this year, use the separate All Saints’ Wake 2026 guide. It covers We Scare Bears, the Grisly Bear outfit and the current deadline. This archive identifies the 2025 rewards and explains why an older item name can differ from today’s collection entry.
The Exact Schedule, Including the Clock Change
Square Enix’s original event page gives the fixed GMT times, equivalent to UTC. The North American schedule crossed the end of daylight saving time, so the opening used PDT and the closing used PST.
| 2025 milestone | UTC / GMT | Pacific time | Australian Eastern time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening | October 17 · 08:00 | October 17 · 1:00 a.m. PDT | October 17 · 7:00 p.m. AEDT |
| Closing | November 4 · 14:59 | November 4 · 6:59 a.m. PST | November 5 · 1:59 a.m. AEDT |
The November 5 date in Australia refers to the same closing instant as November 4 in UTC. It was not an extra day of quest access. A single Pacific offset applied to both ends would also give the wrong conversion.
Where Frights of Fancy Began
The starting quest was Frights of Fancy, available at level 15 from the Pumpkin-headed Apparition in Old Gridania, X:10.2, Y:9.4. The nearest Aethernet shard was Mih Khetto’s Amphitheatre.
That identifies the original pickup point; it does not reopen the expired quest. When following a later year’s event, check its quest name as well as the location, since the same seasonal NPC can introduce a different story.
The Mount and Poster Were Separate Collectibles
Square Enix’s October 2025 reward preview shows Ambulario and the poster separately. The mount was the seasonal story reward; the furnishing was offered through the event vendor’s stock.
| Collectible | What it provided |
|---|---|
| Ambulario | A rideable automaton resembling the Impresario, with two special mount actions. |
| Feastful All Saints’ Wake Advertisement | A wall-mounted furnishing depicting an earlier celebration; later renamed All Saints’ Wake MMXXIV Advertisement. |
Ambulario’s preview demonstrates its candy effect. The poster is a housing decoration, so collecting the mount did not automatically supply an item to hang on your wall.
Why the Poster Now Says MMXXIV
The Patch 7.4 item-name changes renamed Feastful All Saints’ Wake Advertisement to All Saints’ Wake MMXXIV Advertisement. The current official item record uses that name and classifies it as Wall-mounted, Untradable and Market Prohibited.
MMXXIV means 2024: it identifies the past celebration depicted in the artwork, while this vendor reward was featured during the 2025 event. The database’s five-gil “Sells for” line is its NPC resale value, not its event purchase price.
Event Areas and Later Reward Availability
The 2025 preview also reopened the Haunted Manor and Sneaky Hollow after seasonal quest completion. Players could explore, pose for photographs and use character transfigurations until the event ended. Those visits were tied to the event window.
A later year has its own quest, vendor stock and reward rules. For optional reissues, check the official Online Store and read the exact item and character entitlement before purchasing. An old event guide’s gil cost does not establish the price or scope of a later store offer.
