  Recommended Participants	4–8
  Frequency	Once every 15 minutes
  Participant Cap	Up to 8
  Prerequisites	Official enlistment in a Grand Company. * Players cannot escort the caravans of other Grand Companies.

Players who have completed the proper introductory quest will be granted access to an instanced area known as Thornmarch, where they can engage in an epic battle with the moogle king and his minions. Triumphant adventurers will be rewarded with rich spoils.

* “A Feast of Fools” is a repeatable quest.
* Until the reward is accepted, players may freely reattempt the battle for “A Feast of Fools” without having the quest reissued.

≪Treasure Chest Eligibility≫

Only players who possess the five keystone quest items (bloom, bud, bough, leaf, and trunk) will be eligible for the contents of the treasure chest that appears upon defeating the malevolent moogles. These items, however, are not a prerequisite for participating in the battle.

Upon obtainment, inferno totems will first be placed in your loot list rather than the inventory. This allows you to relinquish the item to another player, even though it is untradeable.

* The inferno totem will appear only for players who possess the inferno lamp key item.

Once you have obtained a sufficient amount of inferno totems, you may exchange them for an Ifrit Weapon of your choice by speaking to the NPC Rowena, in the Ul’dah Merchant Strip (5,4).

The kupo nut charm item will be obtainable from the Good King Moggle Mog XII battle, and works in the same manner as the totem.
