Blitz BuffaloAug 19th, 2005 at 6:46 AM by Haggan

Did you enjoy the Sunbreeze Festival, kupo? We expected it to bring cool breezes to Vana'diel, but somehow it's as hot as ever. But I have good news, kupo! The M.H.M.U. has come up with yet another cool festival to beat the heat--"Blitz Buffalo"! You all know about buffalos, right? They're big, black beasts that inhabit the Uleguerand Range. We moogles were able to move them to areas outside of several nations using special magic, kupo! Eh? Did you just grumble something about "troublemakers"? That word isn't in our moogle vocabulary, kupo. Anyway, now is your time to shine, adventurers! Chase down the buffalos and snag the red sashes from their horns! Let the Beastmen bask in the wisdom and courage of the nations, kupo! However...take care, kupo. The buffalos have grown rather upset watching the red sashes swaying from their horns. Sometimes you may start running after a buffalo, only to end up being the one chased! You wouldn't want to be sent flying into the clouds, would you? On the other hand, the breeze up there might be rather refreshing...if you live to enjoy it, kupo... So, do you have enough courage to provoke one of the giant beasts? What's that? "It sounds extremely dangerous"? Don't worry--you'll be fine! Live for the moment, right, kupo? Live on the edge...kupo... Actually, we moogles gave the event a trial run ourselves and had a blast! The sweat around our ears and the pounding of our chests during the hunt... It was a real rush, kupo! Facing the blood-chilling glare of the buffalo...knowing what must be done... Ohhh, it makes me shiver just thinking about it, kupo! That relieved gasp of freedom after barely escaping a buffalo's enraged charge...then turning back to seize the chance... I...I just can't take this anticipation, kupo! Um, anyway! J-just make sure to participate! Well then... Until next time, kupo!!! [Event Details] This event is scheduled to commence on August 25, 2005 at 17:00, and will last until September 5, 2005 at 0:00 (PDT). [Event Locations] - Southern San d'Oria - Northern San d'Oria - Bastok Mines - Bastok Markets - Windurst Waters - Windurst Woods

More than likely, when you activate this quest, you're brought down to level 1 or 10. Those sneaky moogles always love to pull that number on me...

Otherwise, it would be too easy (i.e. Flee, Powder Boots, etc.) I doubt Hermes Quenchers will be allowed.

I really don't think you *click* on anything and *grab a sash*.

Most ilkely you'll have to team up and kill the buffalos.

Anything to make people work together.

That's what these events are for: forcing people to benefit from teamwork. ^^

Sounds to me that the buffalo will be running around and you need to sneak up on a buffalo from behind and grab (i.e. click) a sash. If he turns and sees you then you get chased.

So, do you have enough courage to provoke one of the giant beasts?

Possibly after you get a sash it will aggro you and you have to get away.

Might need to have one person gets aggro and kite while others grab sashes from behind.

Maybe one person vokes and lets it chase him while another "team member" doeas a sneak attack type move and then he in turn must run from the bull while the first voker chases it.

Level?

You know, if the buffalos are in towns it would be kind of cool like the running of the bulls in Spain...but if they are level 50+ or whatever they are in the range, I wouldn't want to be a level 1 character mauled to death at the steps of the Bastok Markets auction house.

You guys need to lighten up.

You're addressing it like it's something you're going to have to do!

Personally I like these special events, they distract from the boring exp grind most of us focus on all the time. Even if I just get some goofy title, I'll still have fun just messin' around with friends. :P

If those are the drops there's not much point in a Mage getting it.

It's a belt too so it won't show up. So looks are out.

Hopefully they add something that gives -Enmity or something.

my guess:
Get a special status effect on you that limits your level,
go out and claim a buffalo and kill it (probably need a party),
get a droped item,
trade it to a moogle for a sash/chocobo ticket/candy,
repeat in all zones to get sash+1

level???

I saw these items listed as new items for awhile but havent figured out a way to get them. So I'm assuming its for this.

Prizes:
Red Sash
Dash Sash

If I read it correctly, the buffalos can punt you into the clouds...

I think the moogles read the allakhazam forum, and saw the movie of that cheater jumping right up into the sky... then Sky...

So will this event be similar to the christmas event with the Twinkling Treant? Or will there be lower lvled buffalos roaming around sarutabaruta =O.

In any case, this sounds like a blast ^^.

This event is a flashback to Final Fantasy 10. You and 4 friends will be playing Blitzball against 5 buffalo. The prize will not be chocobo tickets, but will be buffalo tickets. You'll use them at the stables and get a free ride on a buffalo. Unlike tamed chocobos, these beasts are wild! If you can stay on your buffalo for more than 8 seconds you will be crowned champion and receive a lifetime supply of rock salt.

I can only assume the buffalo are real ball hogs taking into account they can't effectively pass. But hey, nice joke.
