Sunshine Seeker (06/12/2026)

Sunshine Seeker is a special event that further delves into some of the characters introduced in the quest Babban Ny Mheillea. This is your chance to live life as a plantoid in Vana'diel!

Also, collecting seeds and giving them to the NPC lets you earn up to one #FES dial key per day (Earth time) that can be used with the Gobbie Mystery Box. The #FES dial key allows you to use the Festival Dial, which contains spoils from content such as high-tier mission battlefields and high-tier avatar battlefields.

 Event Period

Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) to Tuesday, June 30, at 7:59 a.m. (PDT)

2. Collect the shards of sunshine within the time limit
Players are reduced to level 1 for the duration of the event, and a time limit will display at the top of the screen. Try to collect as many shards of sunlight as you can within the three-minute time limit (Earth time) by examining the shards resting on the ground.

3. Give the shards of sunshine to the NPC
Babban Ny Mheillea will be pleased to accept any shards you may have collected within the time limit. Note that all shards you have collected will disappear if time runs out or you leave the area.

4. Avoid the roaming NPCs
Some of Babban's erstwhile companions roam the area, and if they attack you, you will receive an NPC-specific penalty. Skillfully avoiding these NPCs while collecting the shards is the key to succeeding in Sunshine Seeker.

Abenzio: Lose some shards of sunlight

Bryher: Suffer from the effects of weight (decreased movement speed)

Camlin: Lose some shards of sunlight

Darach: Reduces remaining time by fifteen seconds

Babban's Progeny: Lose some shards of sunlight

5. Collect the seeds and exchange them for items and the chance to win various prizes
Babban Ny Mheillea will provide you with seeds in exchange for the shards you give her. These seeds can be exchanged for items or used to participate in a mini lottery (*).
 * If you participate in the lottery a certain number of times, you will earn the right to participate in a special lottery that awards a variety of rare prizes.



 Check out the new festival dial!

Visit the Gobbie Mystery Boxes throughout Vana'diel to make use of the new festival dial!

The festival dial is a special dial that gives you a chance to obtain rewards from high-tier mission battlefields and high-tier avatar battlefields such as ★The Orb's Radiance and ★Divine Interference that were previously unavailable from other dials.

You need an #FES dial key in order to use the festival dial, which can be obtained by fulfilling certain conditions in each seasonal event.

By participating in the Sunshine Seeker event, you can collect seeds that you can then trade to Babban Ny Mheillea for an #FES dial key. So take on the activities bit by bit each day and something good might happen!
* You can acquire one #FES dial key per day (Earth time).
