2016 Final Fantasy XIV Heavensturn the Saru Bugyo Is Coming

As 2016 approaches, Final Fantasy XIV players eagerly anticipate the annual Heavensturn celebration, marking the transition between years alongside the Starlight Celebration. If you haven’t completed the Starlight event yet, this is your final opportunity before it concludes. For those who have collected all Starlight items, prepare to join the vibrant Heavensturn festivities.

Seasonal Events represent special limited-time occasions that occur annually in Eorzea. During these celebrations, adventurers can undertake exclusive seasonal quests to acquire unique cosmetic rewards unavailable through regular gameplay. Major cities throughout the realm receive elaborate decorations reflecting each event’s unique theme, with Heavensturn being one of the most anticipated seasonal occurrences.

Heavensturn draws inspiration from Chinese and Japanese cultural traditions, specifically the zodiac system featuring twelve animals that rotate annually. The complete zodiac cycle includes: 子鼠(mouse), 丑牛(bull), 寅虎(tiger), 卯兔(rabbit), 辰龙(dragon), 巳蛇(snake), 午马(horse), 未羊(sheep), 申猴(monkey), 酉鸡(chicken), 戌狗(dog), 亥猪(pig). 2016 heralds the Year of the Monkey, represented in-game by the charming Saru Bugyo character.

The Heavensturn 2016 celebration spans from Thursday, December 31, 2015 at 7:00 a.m. through Thursday, January 14, 2016 at 6:59 a.m. (Pacific Standard Time). Plan your participation accordingly to ensure you don’t miss this limited-time opportunity.

A delegation from the Far East has arrived in Eorzea to share the prosperity and blessings associated with the monkey. Adventurers wishing to honor this special connection between humanity and the animal kingdom should seek out Saru Bugyo to begin their journey.

Quest Location: Old Gridania – Saru Bugyo

* Important reminder: Seasonal quests become unavailable once the event concludes, so complete them during the active period.

Participants can earn three distinctive monkey-themed helmet cosmetics: See No Helm (Head, All Classes, Lv.1), Speak No Helm (Head, All Classes, Lv.1), and Hear No Helm (Head, All Classes, Lv.1). These items provide unique visual customization options for characters of any class.

Additionally, collectors can acquire two exclusive housing decorations: Paissa Doll (Tabletop) and Oriental Orange Basket (Tabletop). These items add Eastern-inspired aesthetics to your personal estate or free company house.

For optimal event completion, head directly to Old Gridania and locate Saru Bugyo near the main aetheryte plaza. The quest typically takes 10-15 minutes to complete and requires no combat, making it accessible to players of all levels.

Common mistakes include waiting until the final day, which risks server congestion and potential connectivity issues. Start early to ensure smooth completion and avoid disappointment.
