Entitled “The Little Yeti that Could,” your heartwarming story will begin amid the emerald forests of Old Gridania. You can only start the quest if you are Level 15, so be sure to obtain this first.

From here, you’ll have to:

1. Travel to Old Gridania
2. Head to Mih Khetto’s Amphitheatre (there’s an Aetherite conveniently placed just next to it)
3. Speak to Amh Garanjy (a pink-haired Miqo’te)
4. Accept the “A Very Yeti Starlight” quest

Upon completing Amh Garanjy’s “special task,” you’ll be able to collect three different rewards:

• Wind-up Rudy minion: An adorable little yeti sporting a reindeer-inspired hood and a bright red present (far left in the image below)
• Squirrel Emperor minion: Sure, he might be cute, but this little furry fiend will have your head off in an instant if you don’t give him some nuts (middle)
• Starlight Mobile: A festive wall hanging that moves with the wind, featuring a reindeer, bells and a Christmas tree (far right)
