new years event

[SlizenDize]

Walking around in La theine plateau today I saw Fenrir and three Summoners walking in a line normal right? Wrong, because they were all NPCs. The first Summoner were dressed in AF the second one in AF2 and the third one in Austere.

Let this be the thread where we try to figure out the New years event as what to do and what the rewards are.
Anyone know anything about this?

Happy New Year!

Season's greetings and a happy New Year!

Incidentally, a certain impetuous summoner, looking for a way to accomplish the arduous, onerous task of defeating Maat, called on Fenrir to read his fortune for the New Year. Unfortunately for him, Fenrir refused to listen, and ran outside of town instead!

Won't you lend the poor summoner a hand and help him catch Fenrir if you see him?

Fenrir claims that he just wanted to teach the inconsiderate little summoner a lesson, but apparently the avatar does plan to forgive him.

[Event Details]
This event is scheduled to commence on Dec. 31, 2005 at 07:00, and will last until Jan. 10, 2006 at 0:00 (PST).


2006, which it already is in Japan, is the year of the Dog, hense Fenrir. It is probably very similar the the past New years events and you need to trade the NPC items for the different effects.

I saw Fenrir running around The Sanctury of Zitah followed by 3 Summoners, 1 in AF, 1 in Relic, 1 in JSE.





I traded a summoner a cookie and he said my luck would be about as good as last year.

A friend had it say that his luck would be as good as the summoners, which is about as bad as it can get.

Havn't heard of any items being given yet.
