Autumn Banquet

This page relates to a quest, mob, event, or item involved in the annual Autumn Banquet (November to December)

The celebration goes on day and night for several days in a row. The tables are lined with all kinds of delicacies. Travelers that happen to pass by are also warmly welcomed to join the festivities. Travelers that learned of the origins of this festival from the villagers spread the news of this inspirational event, letting more people know and giving them the opportunity to share in this lovely event.

Now, the custom of the Autumn Banquet has already spread to every city and village. During the celebrations, people gain a better understanding of how truly wealthy they really are, and they also give thanks for each others' well being. I hope that this year's Autumn Banquet will warm your heart too.

In 2023 this event started on November 9th with Patch 7.4.0.2991.

In Taborea, ostriches take the place of turkeys in our world (although turkeys are actually peacocks, not ostriches).

Currencies and Gifts[ | ]

During this festival every mob in the game has a chance to drop  Cinnamon Leaf. Hang onto them until you see Fez William in Varanas Central Plaza.

• Trade  Autumn Banquet Voucher ×15 for  Lucky Fool Package and an  Elemental Crystal

Varanas/Silverspring[ | ]

Provision Collection[ | ]

• Location: Varanas Gates
• NPC: Provisions Supervisor
• Event Target: Collect food bags from the farms and deliver to the Bridge at Varanas
• Time Limit: 5 minutes
• Rewards:
  • 0 points:  Phirius Elixir - Type A ×5
  • 2-8 points:  Autumn Banquet Voucher ×1
  • 10-30 points:  Autumn Banquet Voucher ×2
  • 31+ points:  Autumn Banquet Voucher ×3

If Fatigue reaches 100 you will be Exhausted for 10 seconds. be sure to run past Water Buckets to reduce Fatigue. The Water Buckets are always found near fence rails along the road. Try to learn where they are and run your route to pass near as many as possible to keep your speed up.

You are offered three experimental speed-boosting spells.:

• Normal Acceleration Blessing: 65% run speed increase, Fatigue can be mitigated by drinking water, free
• Provision Courier's Acceleration Blessing: 90% run speed increase, Fatigue can be mitigated by drinking water, costs 3,000 
• Provision Courier's High-Speed Blessing: 120% run speed increase, no Fatigue, costs a  Transport Rune worth 3 ($0.09)† 

You don't have to talk to the Provisions Supplier at Peerston Farm, Maidge's Farm, or Dorian's Farm; just get near them to pick up the bag, then run it back to the Provisions Supervisor. You can only carry one bag at a time.

The further farms increase your points accordingly.

• Peerston Farm: 2 points
• Maidge's Farm: 5 points
• Dorian's Farm: 10 points

Notes:

• Provision Courier's High-Speed Blessing is worth the $.09, so I recommend doing it.
• If you did not get the top blessing, the Water Buckets are located along the road, and they reduce your fatigue! Just run past them.
• IF you crash during this run it is over. The speed buff, timer and bag of provisions do not remain after you log back in, but you will get whatever reward you have already earned up to that point.
• It is worth the extra time to run to Dorian's Farm 3 times, then Peerston Farm for the last, short, run. You should get to 32 easily.

Use the Herding Ostriches skill to drive a Caravan Ostrich to Lorence Hollow. Just pick one that is not moving.
