The Impresario would invite you to participate in a devilishly delightful All Saints' Wake celebration. ※This quest is available for a limited time only.
Quest description
Show Me the Candy is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. It was a quest during the seasonal event All Saints' Wake in 2013.
Journal[]
- In order to fully enjoy the All Saints' Wake festivities, the Impresario has gifted you with a costume befitting the occasion. Don the guise to take your place among the terrors of the night, then speak with him anew.
※Please note that you will be unable to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For details, please check the Lodestone.
- Now that you look the part, the Impresario encourages you to travel to each of the three city–states and put a scare in the performers found within, for which you will be rewarded with toothsome treats. For your first objective, seek out the spirited thespian who haunts Gridania.
- The performer informs you that while he is clean out of candy, his partner─a strongman most convincingly disguised as an ogre─still has a full supply, and happens to be more skittish than he appears. Try spooking him with a /clap of your hands.
- The ogre of a strongman appears unimpressed by your efforts. Take his partner at his word and pretend to /congratulate the hulking brute to see if a rousing round of applause might do the trick.
- Sufficiently spooked, the strongman rewards you with a piece of wind candy. Continue on your way to Ul'dah, and seek out a skittish acrobat, who shall serve as the next target of your spooking skills.
- Thoroughly spooked by your actions, the zombie-like acrobat has dropped the cookies that he was using to patch up the gaping holes in his body. Retrieve the moldy, maggot-infested confections from the ground.
- You have recovered the cookies. Be a kind soul and return them to their owner.
- In return for your kindness, the acrobat rewards you with a piece of earth candy. Proceed to Limsa Lominsa and seek out an oversized clown disguised as a gelatinous glob.
- Genuinely frightened by your casual threat to practice your culinary skills on him, the mucose mummer offers you a piece of fire candy in hopes of sating your appetite. Having completed your set of candy, return to Gridania and feed a piece of wind candy to the magic pot.
- The magic pot is pleased. Feed it a piece of earth candy.
- The magic pot is delighted. Feed it a piece of fire candy to complete the set.
- The magic pot is overjoyed, and returns your kindness with a batch of pumpkin cookies. What further treats and terrors await you before the festivities are through? Seek out the Impresario after sundown to delve deeper into the shadows of the night.

| The Quicksand in Ul'dah - Steps of Nald, Thanalan | |
| Impresario | We humbly ask that all adventurers don their costumes before taking part in the festivities. |
| Impresario | Superstitions aside, let me assure you that dressing up as one of the dead is half the fun. Cling not to life! Cast off your worries and take your place among the terrors of the night! |
| Impresario | Those tattered rags are most becoming on you, friend. Had I not known otherwise, I would have suspected you were long since dead. Heh heh heh... Now, with no further ado, let the hauntings begin! |
| Impresario | My troupe has prepared a spine-tingling diversion worthy of the occasion. Thespians under my direction have disguised themselves as ghastly gremlins of all stripes and taken to the streets of the three city–states to haunt the local populace. |
| Impresario | It is your task, dear adventurer, to outspook the spooks, as it were. Give my troupers a good scare, and you shall be rewarded with candy. |
| Impresario | Feed this candy to the magic pot you see at the entrance to this amphitheatre, and you will be rewarded in kind for your efforts. |
| Impresario | Oh, and do take your time, friend. For the night is long, and full of most delightful terrors... |
| Impresario | What's the matter, friend? Have you misplaced your costume? I fear I cannot allow you to participate in the festivities unless you are dressed for the part. |
| New Gridania, The Black Shroud | |
| Spirited Thespian | Well, hullo there. Looking for a treat, are you? Had you come a few bells earlier, I'd have been happy to oblige, but I fear I'm clean out of stock. |
| Spirited Thespian | My oversized companion here, on the other hand, still has plenty to dole out. For some reason, it would appear that you adventurers are hesitant to try your scare tactics on him. Hee hee hee... |
| Spirited Thespian | Because I'm so nice, I'll clue you in on a secret. My partner might look imposing, but the truth is he's scared to death of loud noises. Don't believe me? Just start clapping and see for yourself. |
| Spirited Thespian | Hm? Oh, let me guess: you're dressed up as an adventurer for All Saints' Wake. That's cute─really, it is─but I've got my orders: no costume, no candy. |
| Spirited Thespian | Oh, don't let him frighten you─his bark is far worse than his bite. Why, he hasn't eaten an adventurer in almost three moons! Now give him a rousing round of applause, as if to congratulate him on his aplomb. That'll put the fear of the gods in him, I guarantee. |
| Somber Strongman | <grunt> Urrrgh...? |
| Somber Strongman | You keep clapping, little girl/man, I...I crush you like ant! |
| Spirited Thespian | Oh, don't let him frighten you─his bark is far worse than his bite. Why, he hasn't eaten an adventurer in almost three moons! Now give him a rousing round of applause, as if to congratulate him on his aplomb. That'll put the fear of the gods in him, I guarantee. |
| Somber Strongman | No...costume? No...candy! Grrraaaghhh! |
| Somber Strongman | Little girl/man clap...clap...clapping... I must...crush. I... |
| Somber Strongman | No...n-no hurt me! Scary ghost t-take candy! Take candy and go far, far away! |
| Ul'dah - Steps of Nald, Thanalan | |
| Skittish Acrobat | Y-Ye gads! |
| Skittish Acrobat | Wh-What's the big idea!? An adventurer like you might not understand, but we zombies are delicate creatures. Why, the last time someone t-tapped me on the shoulder, my arm fell clean off! |
| Skittish Acrobat | Now look at what you've done! You gave me such a fright that my worm-eaten heart dropped into where my stomach used to be, and the moldy, maggot-infested cookies I was using to patch up the gaping holes in my body are scattered everywhere! The least you could do is apologize. |
| Skittish Acrobat | But noooooo, you just want my candy. Well, too bad─you're not getting anything from me. If you're starving for sweets, eat those cookies. I'll carry on...<sniff>...somehow. |
| Skittish Acrobat | Wh-Whaaa...!?
An adventurer!? Y-You don't scare me! Besides, the boss told me only to answer to my fellow undead. |
| Skittish Acrobat | <sob> Holes, holes everywhere. <sniff> How could anyone ever love me? |
| Skittish Acrobat | M-My...my cookies! You're really giving them back to me? Maybe you adventurers aren't so bad, after all. |
| Skittish Acrobat | Sadly, I've no candy to my name...save for this piece that I've been using as a makeshift eyeball. Just give me one moment to pop it out and wipe the pus off, and... Voilà, good as new! |
| Mucose Mummer | I don't got no candy for you. So get lost! |
| What will you say? |
|
| Mucose Mummer | I told you to get... <gulp> The C-C-Culinarians' Guild!? |
| Mucose Mummer | P-P-Please don't eat me! I swear on every onze of jelly in my body, I taste disgusting! Why, just look at this sickly color! And have you taken a whiff of me? You'll have the entire realm throwing up in their chamberpots! |
| Mucose Mummer | H-Here, take this instead! You have my word, it tastes a hundred times better than I ever could! Now, really, get lost─you're giving me the creeps! |
| Mucose Mummer | Costume...? What cos─ I mean, thank you! But flattery won't get you any treats from me, if that's your plan. Now shoo! |
| Mucose Mummer | That's right! You got a problem with that!? |
| Mucose Mummer | I got nothin' to say to adventurers. Come back in costume, or shoo! |
| Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre in Old Gridania, The Black Shroud | |
| Magic Pot | Gimme an elixir! No, that's not right... |
| Magic Pot | Gimme some candy! Yes, you heard me─I clamor for candy! |
| Magic Pot | Now that's a tasty treat! Got any more? |
| Magic Pot | No costume? No cookies for you! |
| Magic Pot | I'm still hungry! More, I say! |
| Magic Pot | Delightfully delectable! I want more! |
| Magic Pot | More! More, I say! |
| Magic Pot | Earth, wind, and fire～♪ That's what I desire～♪ Here, this is for you! |
| Quest complete. | |
