Present
- This article is about user-wrapped items. For other kinds of Presents, see Present (disambiguation).
Present is a wrapped item that can be traded or given to other players for aesthetic or entertainment purposes with the intent of surprise. Initially, one can wrap using the default wrapping (white packaging with pink ribbon) found at Gallon's Shop. Doing this with other options requires Wrapping Papers or participating in Pioneer Christmas and completing the game series found in Mountain Area.
Because they simply mask items with a different appearance and description, they do not have their own item hex code and instead reuse the hex information of the original item.
Uses
Using a Present will reveal the original item that was inside.
Aside from the earlier mention of use in giving or trading with other players, there are some other purposes for Presents within certain quests.
Unlocking Wrapping Papers
If you have any presents of a different color than those you can wrap in Gallon's Shop, going to that quest and showing them to a man looking at Ragol (XZ: 320, -165) outside the shop will unlock alternative Wrapping Papers.
Note: Your present will not be lost in the process.
Exceptions:
- Presents obtained during Christmas events as drops from properly-defeated enemies or from the Christmas Event Shop are not acknowledged by this NPC.
- While the NPC will appreciate having seen a Christmas Present, they will not accept it for unlocking alternate wrapping paper.
Pioneer Christmas
Giving an NPC in Pioneer Christmas wrapped Presents of all nine initially-locked wrapping papers at once will award the player with a Christmas Present. This can only be done once per character.
WARNING: All Presents given this way will be lost. It is advised to buy cheap Frames as a low-level character to wrap for this purpose.
Availability
Self-wrapping
Wrapping an item into a Present costs 30 Gallon Points or 10,000 Meseta in Gallon's Shop.
Most items, such as weapons, frames, armors, barriers, and shields, can be wrapped.
Some items, such as consumables, other tools, and units, cannot be wrapped.
Quest reward
During Christmas events, Pioneer Christmas allows players to wrap an eligible item (as seen in the prior section) for free after participating in the quest's games, in Mountain Area.
The selected color(s) of Wrapping Papers is based on using your account's guild card ID and finding its remainder after dividing it by 9 (GuildCardID modulus 9).
