2015 Final Fantasy XIV Seasonal Event All Saints Wake

All Saints’ Wake represents Final Fantasy XIV’s annual Halloween celebration, marking the second seasonal event introduced during A Realm Reborn. The 2015 iteration was particularly significant as it preceded the major FFXIV Patch 3.1 update, offering players a perfect opportunity to engage with festive content before new expansion features arrived. This limited-time experience provided a welcome break from routine gameplay activities while delivering exclusive collectibles unavailable through other means.

The event window spanned from Thursday, October 22, 2015 at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) through Wednesday, November 4, 2015 at 6:59 a.m. (PST), giving participants approximately two weeks to complete all seasonal activities. Timing your participation strategically ensures you won’t miss out on these time-limited rewards that become permanent additions to your collection.

The festival’s backstory reveals that each year, the Twelve deities honor saints by hosting them at a celestial banquet of divine proportions. While this recognition is well-deserved, their departure temporarily strips the mortal realm of heavenly guardianship. During this vulnerable period, shadowy creatures emerge with intensified malice, compensating for their restrained activities throughout the remainder of the year.

Initially, Eorzea’s inhabitants responded with fear, retreating indoors at dusk and securing their homes until sunrise. However, adventurers demonstrated remarkable courage by confronting these supernatural threats directly. Their heroic actions gradually transformed public perception, shifting the holiday from a time of apprehension to one of joyful commemoration.

This cultural evolution owes much to the Continental Circus, an itinerant performance group dedicated to creating memorable All Saints’ Wake experiences. Their annual return brings delightful mischief that occasionally requires monitoring to prevent escalation into genuine chaos.

The 2015 event offered several exclusive rewards, beginning with the Witch’s Broom mount that provides unique aerial transportation. For character customization, players could obtain a complete witch-themed armor set including Witch’s Hat (head slot), Witch’s Coatee (body armor), Witch’s Gloves (handwear), and Witch’s Thighboots (footwear)—all designated as Level 1 gear suitable for any class.

Additional collectibles included the Pumpkin Butler minion companion, various tabletop decorations like Pumpkin Basket and Stuffed Succubus, along with housing items such as Pumpkin Candlestick (outdoor furnishing), Eerie Wallpaper (interior wall covering), Pumpkin Desk, and Pumpkin Chair for estate customization.

Participants began the seasonal content by speaking with an Adventurers’ Guild investigator seeking assistance with monitoring the Continental Circus activities. The primary quest titled “Investigating the Inimical” guided players through interactions with the traveling performers while ensuring their festivities remained harmless.

For optimal efficiency, prioritize completing the main questline first to unlock access to all reward vendors. Many players make the mistake of exploring side activities before completing the central narrative, potentially wasting valuable event time. Seasoned participants recommend allocating at least 30-45 minutes for initial completion, with additional time for collecting all available items through repeatable tasks.

Advanced strategy involves coordinating with Free Company members to exchange information about reward locations and complete objectives more rapidly. Don’t forget to check our Complete Guide for more gaming event strategies that can enhance your overall experience.
