Present

This article is about user-wrapped items. For the server-wide Christmas event drops, see Present. For the St Rappy drops and Pioneer Christmas rewards, see Christmas Present.

Presents are wrapped items that can be traded with or given to others for aesthetic or entertainment purposes due to the intent of surprise. Initially, one can wrap using the default (white packaging with pink ribbon) wrapping 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 the 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 at 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 (Christmas) 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.

Quest Turn-ins

Giving an NPC in Pioneer Christmas wrapped Presents of all nine initially-locked wrapping papers at once will award the player's character one time only with a Christmas Present.
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 at Gallon's Shop.
Most items, such as weapons, frames/armors and barriers/shields, can be wrapped.
Some items, such as consumables, other Tools and Units, cannot be wrapped.

Quest Rewards

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 the 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).
