Once again, the Blazing Buffaloes event is returning to Vana'diel.

The Mog House Management Union has secretly launched a new enterprise, calling it The Buffalo Bonanza Ranch. Capture the wild buffaloes that were raised in the snow-capped mountains and raise them to be kind and gentle in order to help line the moogles' pockets! Or at least that was the plan, until everything went amiss...

How to Participate

1. Check how to proceed with the event.
Speak to a moogle in one of the following locations in order to confirm the details of the event.
Once you hear the explanation, you will receive a bovine brand card.

2. Make the necessary preparations.
Get the moogle to apply the appropriate level restrictions for you.
* While participating in the event, players will be unable to attack
or be attacked by monsters.
* Changing areas or logging out will remove these restrictions.

3. Guide the wild buffaloes.
Guide the wild buffaloes within the field to the moogle.
The best method for guiding each wild buffalo depends on their type.

- Cows
Cows are extremely aggressive, so be sure to guide them from behind rather than head-on. You will receive 7 bovine brands for each cow you successfully turn in.

- Calves
These obedient calves will follow the scent of their mother. Apply their mother's scent to the moogle, or guide the mother to the moogle instead. You will receive 1 bovine brand for each calf you successfully turn in.
* There is a limit to how many times you can apply the mother's scent to the moogle.

■ Watch out for bulls and chigoes!
- Bulls
These parental buffaloes are extremely aggressive. They'll even use Cattlepult against any adventurers they encounter! You do not receive any bovine brands for capturing bulls.

- Chigoes
The buffaloes absolutely detest chigoes. If you encounter a chigoe while herding buffalo, use Examine to chase it off.

Once you successfully turn in a buffalo, you will receive bovine brands.


4. Collect bovine brands and get your reward.
Trade the bovine brand card to the moogle to exchange your bovine brands for various items.
