[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Initial dialogue

Coordinator Tahyaa

"Have you heard, <player name>? Nian are swarming through Kaitan Village in Panjiang Peninsula! We have to chase them away or the village will have nothing but bad luck all year. We cannot send any of our fireworks, lest we risk getting overrun here as well. We need your help!

Go talk to Nubah Lao to see if he has any fireworks he can spare. The noise from the fireworks is the only way to defeat the Nian, as they are immune to weapons and magic. Oh dear... I cannot bear to imagine what will befall Kaitan if we do not stop this nian invasion!"

Accept: "Saving helpless innocents? That is what I do best!"

Decline: "Perhaps this is a sign from the gods that Kaitan deserves a year of bad luck."

When asked about quest: "What are you waiting for? Go get those fireworks from Nubah LaoKaitan village." [sic]

[edit] Intermediate dialogue

Nubah Lao

"Kaitan Village is being attacked by the nian, you say? Hmm...I do not have near enough fireworks to keep both it and the monastery safe! You'll need to bring me more supplies. Luckily, the noise from each firework will scare away nian in a pretty large area. If you are careful and concentrate your attacks on the larger nian groups, you should only need a few fireworks to protect the village. I think five should be plenty. Now, go get those supplies so we can keep the village from suffering a year of bad luck!"

In Panjiang Peninsula:

Child: "Oh no! Here they come from the south!"

Child: "Look out! More nian northeast of the village!"

Child: "Help! The Nian are still coming! Now, they are west of the village!"

[edit] Reward dialogue

Nubah Lao

"You did it! You kept the nian away from Kaitan Village! The villagers sent me a very nice letter of appreciation for all that we...and especially you...did for them this day."

[edit] NPCs

[edit] Foes

• 28 Nian

[edit] Notes

• To kill a Nian, use one of the fireworks within danger zone range.

[edit] Trivia

The addition of the LvL 5 requirement has probably been added to prevent farming of the festival quests, that took place during the 2007 celebration.

Bug.

WARNING: Using fireworks while in Panjiang Peninsula with this quest active or just completed will not add points to your Party Animal title track.
