Starlight Celebration 2025 Event Rewards
The Starlight Celebration 2025 event kicks off on December 17, right after the release of patch 7.4, and continues until December 31 at 6:59 a.m. PST. This year's celebration includes the traditional blend of festive cheer with a hint of nostalgia, prominently featuring artwork with characters like Orian Jay and Moonreeder, evoking memories of past adventures in Eorzea.
Event Details
The quest for this event, titled "Wii3 Kinder Punch," is available to players level 15 and above, including those on a free trial account. Adventurers will begin in Old Gridania's northern section at Miketto's Amphitheater, where Amranji seeks some helping hands.
Rewards Overview
Participants can look forward to a collection of rewards:
- Emotes: Six emotes are available, with variations based on the three Grand Companies. Each Grand Company—Gridanian, Liminsan, and Ul'dahn—offers a distinct sip and gulp animation.
- Housing Items:
- Old Kinder Punch: A tabletop item with 10 uses that provides an EXP buff.
- Starite Mugs (stacked sets): Available for Liminsans and Ul'dahns, but strangely absent for Gradians, which has raised some questions among players.
| Housing Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Old Kinder Punch | Tabletop item, 10 uses |
| Liminsan Mugs | Stacked tabletop decoration |
| Ul'dahn Mugs | Stacked tabletop decoration |
Thoughts and Expectations
The event follows the usual pattern of rotating rewards such as costumes, mounts, minions, and now emotes. While some players might not be thrilled with the emote-focused rewards, others will find joy in their collection. The true highlight for many will be the venue itself—returning to familiar festive zones like New Gradia adds a nostalgic layer to the celebration.
While the absence of a Gradania-specific housing item has puzzled many, the decorative items and event atmosphere promise a heartwarming experience. Let's see if the event offers something unique or stays true to its established charm.
