The third annual Festival of the Twelfth Moon kicks off in DDO

It's that time of year in Eberron once more, the time for Dungeons and Dragons Online players to celebrate the Festival of the Twelfth Moon. You can start to get into the holiday mood with a Festivult poem, but you'll also find that there's a long list of goodies to be had in-game. Getting your hands on some unique Festivult items isn't too hard -- every treasure chest has a chance to drop Festival Coins, as well as whatever else is inside, during the holiday season. Once you get some coins (there are three different types) you can hand them in for rewards. These rewards range from a lump of coal, all the way up to something so good that it's being kept a secret.

To trade in your coins, you'll want to see the Jester of Festivult. He can be found in a number of locations, but you can't just walk up to him this year -- players will need to conquer the Jester's Jumping Puzzles in order to cash in coins and receive their presents, although certain areas have easier ways to reach the Jester for those that find the puzzles too difficult. After the break, we've got the full list of rewards and Jester locations. Happy Festivult!

Three Copper Festival Coins gives you a chance to get:

  • A Lamannia, the Twilight Forest Jelly Cake

  • A Syrania, the Azure Sky Jelly Cake

  • A Thelanis, the Faerie Court Jelly Cake

  • A Velah, the Red Dragon Gingerbread Cookie

  • A Queen Lailat, the Marilith Gingerbread Cookie

  • A Warforged Titan Gingerbread Cookie

  • An Arraetrikos, the Pitfiend Gingerbread Cookie

  • A Cupcake

Two Silver Festival Coins gives you a chance to get:

  • A Daanvi, the perfect Order Jelly cake

  • A Dal Quor, the Region of Dreams Jelly Cake

  • A Dolurrh, the Realm of the Dead Jelly Cake

  • A Kythri, the Churning Chaos Jelly Cake

  • A Shavarath, the Battleground Jelly Cake

  • A Beholder Gingerbread Cookie

  • A Candy Cane Wand

  • A Storm Reaver Gingerbread Cookie

  • A Black Abbot Gingerbread Cookie

One Gold Festival Coin gives you the chance to get:

  • An Irian, the Eternal Day Jelly Cake

  • A Fernia, the Sea of Fire Jelly Cake

  • A Risia, the Plane of Ice Jelly Cake

  • A Xyzzy, Hound of Xoriat Gingerbread Cookie

  • There is also very small chance that the Festival Jester will give you an exceptional gift when you give him one Gold Festival Coin, but what those might be you'll just have to wait and see. Each gift does something special and we think you will love what our artificers and cooks have crafted for you this Festival Season!

Now, you may be wondering where the Jester can be found in Stormreach? With all the changes to the Harbor, Marketplace, and so forth, the Jester decided he needed a better view of the city. This year you can find the Jester perched high above his surroundings. Can you climb the Jester's Jumping Puzzles to reach him and exchange your coins for goodies? The Jester and his jumping puzzles can be found in the following locations:

  • The Harbor at the Leaky Dingy

  • The Marketplace in the ruins of the Bazaar Tent

  • The House Jorasco near the front gate

  • The House Phiarlan in the outdoor Livewood Theater

  • The House Deneith at the spire

  • The House Kundarak near the mailbox

  • The Jester isn't heartless though, and for those who don't have the skill to best his jumping challenge, the Harbor and Marketplace both offer easier means of getting up to him.

Also, keep your eyes peeled for special items appearing in random places throughout the world. You never know when you might come across something fun! To give you a hint: use the backspace key to search because these items won't appear in the middle of the street.

From the Coin Lords, the dragonmarked Houses and all of Stormreach, we wish you a Happy Festivult and a profitable new year!
