All Saints Wake is one of the FFXIV events that I’ve yet to cover, so hopefully this year I can remedy that! While I’m a casual blogger of FF14 at the best of times, I always run the in-game events on multiple characters. So, it’s that time of year again for the City States to be decorated with pumpkins and for All Saints Wake. Here I’ll cover the basics – and on the day I’ll add screenshots of the rewards too, so hopefully, it can be a useful quick-start guide for you. Let’s do it.
All Saints Wake 2022 Dates
From 19th October 2022 at 8am GMT (9am BST as it still is…just) to 1st November 2022 at 14:59GMT (15:59 BST). (Convert your Time Zone).
Characters from Level 15, so if you’re new to FFXIV, get through some MSQ story, clear some Hunting Logs and you’ll be L15 and ready to rock.
Update
If your origin story starts in Gridania, then you need only be Level 15. If you begin in Limsa Lominsa or Ul’dah then you will need to reach the MSQ Quest “The Lominsan Envoy” or “The Ul’dahn Envoy”. This is because you need airship access to reach Gridania.
Where’s the Questgiver?
Pick up the quest A Mad Masquerade from the cleverly-named “Adventurers’ Guild Investigator” in Old Gridania. He’s at (X:10.3, Y:9.1), or Mih Khetto’s Ampitheatre to make it easy! I will leave spoilers out of this event’s guide I think, but it’s really fab. I will add some (non-spoilery) highlights a bit later.
There are no spoilers at the start of the story. The Investigator, after telling you what he is, in fact, investigating, tells you first that he wants to drum up enthusiasm for All Saints’ Wake. To do this, he has four potions that allow you to temporarily transform yourself into a different creature. You’re then directed by the map as to who you should scare, before returning to your true form!
Choose a Potion
Choose your potion from the four on offer.
The creature behind the potion is the one you’ll become.
Become Terrifying
One option is to transform into a Gaelikitten
Or terrifyingly cute, depending on whether you chose the Gaelikitten as I did! It seems that going for different disguises does send you to different NPCs, so mix it up if you have different characters!
Other Areas
At this year’s FF14 All Saints’ Wake, there are a couple of other areas you can explore. As they could count as spoilers I’ll just leave some screenshots here!
That’s no Treant!
Who is THAT? And where ARE we?
Become FFXIV Characters!
You can speak with the Unsavoury Imp and transform into well-known FF14 NPC characters! You’ll find one at the Amitheatre and one in the building in one of the other areas. The list of options is pretty epic.
Well, FFXIV have not held back this year with a whole glamour set, an emote and a housing decoration.
Outfit Glamours
You will receive the Wake Doctor’s set as quest rewards for completing the main story for All Saint’s Wake.
Wake Doctor’s Bottoms

Wake Doctor’s Outfit: Races/Body Shapes
I’ve rephotographed my Au’ra in the white coat (without mask). But I’ve run the event on my two Lalafells so I’ve included them. I have a female Hyur but not a male one yet. I managed to create an level a male Miqo’te to L15 for this event. I’ll prepare some others for future events!

Female Lalafell
Male Lalafell
Male Miqo’te (apparently too cool for rubber gloves)
Wake Doctor’s Mask
Wake Doctor’s White Coat
Wake Doctor’s Rubber Gloves
Wake Doctor’s Bottoms
Wake Doctor’s Shoes
Gunmetal Black Coat
Seeing how it’s easy to get Gunmetal Black Dye with an Island Sanctuary, I experimented on the coat from this All Saints Wake. I hope you agree how awesome it looks!

Where Are the Other Rewards?
This is not obvious, especially considerering how many other activities there are at this year’s event. You obtain the Emote and the decoration from the Bespectacled Peddler for gil.

Caged Wisp Decoration

Caged Wisp decoration, dyed Dalamud Red
This decoration can be dyed! It looks like you need to dye it before adding it to your housing storage and placing it. If you want to alter its colour, you’ll need to “unplace” it, then return it to your inventory.
TL;DR Get on Down to Gridania & Enjoy All Saints Wake 2022!
Well, it’s definitely a broad range of rewards for All Saints Wake, that’s for sure! Some doctors gear and a caged wisp. The story and the mechanics for it are unusual, and there are some fab little side areas to wander around in too, so do take your time to enjoy the event!
