Journal

• Amh Garanjy is in a spot of bother.
  • ※This quest is available for a limited time only.
• As you make your way through Gridania during the Starlight Celebration, you come upon the celebrant Amh Garanjy. According to the Miqo'te, a new attraction is to be held for this year's festivities in the form of a market called the Starlight Stalls. However, the preparations are behind schedule, and Amh Garanjy requests your aid in investigating the reason for the delay. To that end, she bids you join her at the stalls, which you may travel to by speaking with the guide at the amphitheatre.
  • ※Please note that you will be unable to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For details, please check the Lodestone.
• You have arrived at the Starlight Stalls, located on Gridania's outskirts. Catching sight of Amh Garanjy near the entrance, you make your way over to her to receive further instructions.
  • ※In the event that you leave the Starlight Stalls, you may return by speaking with the Starlight Stalls guide at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre.
• Amh Garanjy proposes that you each speak with a number of workers in order to learn what troubles they might be experiencing. She sets off to attend to the task, and you do the same.
• You have traded words with some workers in the midst of preparation. Satisfied with your findings, you go to share them with Amh Garanjy.
• You inform Amh Garanjy that a combination of the cold and tiredness are to blame for the slow progress of the stalls. As you ponder ways to revive the weary workers, two little friends, Saulinne and Tenny, appear and beg to help. Amh Garanjy gladly accepts their offer, and it is decided that you and the children will see to finding something suitably revitalizing to distribute to the workers.
• Saulinne and Tenny are excited as only children can be for the opportunity to help. Inspired by their enthusiasm, you are determined to see that the Starlight Stalls may open as planned.

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest (cutscene)

(if the player has completed any previous Starlight Celebration events) Amh Garanjy: Well now, if it isn't Forename! Happy Starlight, my friend, and what a pleasure it is to see you again. Now, I should like to catch up on your recent doings...
(if the player is not completed any previous Starlight Celebration events) Amh Garanjy: Oh! Greetings, adventurer, and Happy Starlight! I am Amh Garanjy, Starlight celebrant. And you are...Forename Surname, you say? A pleasure to make your acquaintance. If this is your first time attending the festivities, I should like to personally guide you on your way...
Amh Garanjy: But I'm afraid I am rather overwhelmed with preparations at the moment...
Amh Garanjy: You see, this year we are hosting a new attraction in the form of a market called the Starlight Stalls.
Amh Garanjy: To that end, we have secured the kind cooperation of merchants and artisans across Gridania, who will sell unique Starlight-themed wares.
Amh Garanjy: The lights of the stalls are arranged to call to mind the stars above, and we are confident that grown-ups will enjoy the market as much as younglings!
Amh Garanjy: Or at least we would be if we can finish setting up the stalls. The work doesn't seem to be progressing, and we're unable to open the market as scheduled...
Amh Garanjy: Say...if you aren't otherwise occupied, might you be willing to assist me? I've a mind to investigate the reason for the delay, and I could use an extra pair of legs on the ground.
Amh Garanjy: Thank you so much! Without further ado, please meet me at the market outside the city. The guide yonder will show you there.

Speak with the Starlight Stalls guide

Starlight Stalls Guide: I understand you are assisting Miss Garanjy. If you would please follow me, I will show you to the market.

System: Head to the Starlight Stalls? (yes/no)

Speak with Amh Garanjy at the Starlight Stalls

Amh Garanjy: Here it is, Forename─the Starlight Stalls.
Amh Garanjy: As you can see, there are workers in the midst of preparation. Let us each speak to a number of them and learn what troubles they might be experiencing. 

Optional Dialogue

Amh Garanjy: How fare you with the preparations? I see, I see...

Speak with busy workers

Bleary-eyed Worker

Bleary-eyed Worker: We're almost done with our preparation─just discussing how to bring in our wares now. But it's so cold and I'm so tired, I just want to curl up and sleep...
Bleary-eyed Worker: Well, we'll be on our way. Need to keep at it if we want to finish up.

Baenfaeld

Baenfaeld: Lendin' Amh a hand, are ye? Much obliged. This year, most of us celebrants are here helpin' the stall holders set things up.
Baenfaeld: That's because it don't do for 'em to close up their actual shops. They're spreadin' themselves thin for our sake, so it's only fair that we give 'em as much support as we can.
Baenfaeld: Even so, the work's taken a toll on everyone. We celebrants would do more, but we can't exactly push things along by ourselves.

Optional Dialogue

Baenfaeld: We conceived the Starlight Stalls as a place for both children and grown-ups to enjoy. It certainly wasn't our intent for it to be so hard on stall holders...

Fen-Yll Worker

Fen-Yll Worker: Y-You're with the celebrants!? Our apologies, we'll be ready soon!
Fen-Yll Worker: It's just, we're not accustomed to running an open-air stall, much less when it's so cold...

Optional Dialogue

Fen-Yll Worker: O-Our apologies for the delay! We'll be ready soon!

Speak with Amh Garanjy (cutscene)

Amh Garanjy: You've spoken with some workers? Splendid.
Amh Garanjy: So, what were you able to learn?
Amh Garanjy: I see... Though everyone is trying their best, having to run their own shops at the same time has left them exhausted, and the cold only compounds matters...
Amh Garanjy: We should do something to revive them and ward off the chill. But what would be the best way...?

What will you say?
> Something sweet never fails to perk me up!
> How about handing out hot drinks?

Amh Garanjy: Ah, a splendid idea! That is bound to lift everyone's spirits!

???: Excuse us!
(if completed 2023 Starlight Celebration event) Saulinne: Hello, Miss Garanjy! Hello, miss/mister adventurer! It's been a while, but you remember us, I hope?
(if not completed 2023 Starlight Celebration event) Saulinne: Hello, Miss Garanjy! Hello, miss/mister adventurer! My name is Saulinne, and my friend here is Tenny.

Tenny: The Starlight Celebration is our favorite time of year. The Saint of Nymeia brings us presents, the city is adorned with beautiful decorations, and even the grown-ups look like they're having fun.  

Saulinne and Tenny: We'd like to become little helpers and help them!

Amh Garanjy: My, what kind souls you are! 'Tis the very spirit of the Starlight Celebration, and we would be most grateful for your aid!
Amh Garanjy: Forename─if you are willing, could you tend to the task of reviving the weary workers with our two little helpers?
Amh Garanjy: Splendid. Please source something suitably revitalizing here in Gridania, and see it distributed. We celebrants will naturally bear the cost.
Amh Garanjy: In the meantime, I shall return to the amphitheatre and apprise my fellow celebrants of the situation. If you have any problems, do not hesitate to let me know.

Optional Dialogue

Tenny: Yes! We're going to be little helpers!

Speak with Saulinne

Saulinne: Hooray! We get to help Miss Garanjy!
Tenny: Saulinne and I will do our best!
