NOTE: This quest can no longer be started as of 13th March 2022. It'll be made available again around Winter period.

Sock it to 'em can be initiated by talking to Stocking Stuffer in Ponydale, who is hanging around just outside of Sugarcane Corner. It is a simple quest which varies in length due to the different tasks given, and can be repeated after completion. The player must have been graduated in order to start this quest.

Quest initiation

Stocking Stuffer is giving away free socks. When the player asks about her sock giveaway, Stocking Stuffer will request the player to provide her with an item so as to show their passion for socks in exchange for a pair. Occasionally, she will not ask the player for anything.

If she does request the player, she will ask for either of these items:

• Living branches x 1
• Ruby x 1
• Mountain Flower x 20
• Mushrooms x 20

If one living branch is requested:

Journal: Stocking Stuffer needs 1 living bush twig. If I bring it to her, she said she'll give me a free pair of socks!

• Bring 1 twig to Stocking Stuffer

If one ruby is requested:

Journal: Stocking Stuffer needs 1 ruby. If I bring it to her, she said she'll give me a free pair of socks!

• Bring 1 ruby to Stocking Stuffer

If twenty mountain flowers are requested:

Journal: Stocking Stuffer needs 20 mountain flowers. If I bring them to her, she said she'll give me a free pair of socks!

• Bring 20 mountain flowers to Stocking Stuffer

If twenty mushrooms are requested:

Journal: Stocking Stuffer needs 20 mushrooms. If I bring them to her, she said she'll give me a free pair of socks!

• Bring 20 mushrooms to Stocking Stuffer

Gathering the items

Living branches

Living branches can be looted from loot chests after defeating Living Bushes. As the branches have a low drop rate, the player may need to defeat more than a single bush in order to collect the item.

Ruby

Rubies can be looted from loot chests after defeating various mobs such as Lantern Monsters or Haeteas. The rubies also have a low drop rate, and the player may need to defeat more than a single mob in order to collect the item.

Mountain Flowers

Mountain flowers can be picked up from the grass patch under the Cantermore airship platform as well as areas nearby. Twenty mountain flowers are required.

Mushrooms

Mushrooms can be found near the split path leading from the Evershade Forest exit portal. Twenty mushrooms are required.

Quest completion

After gathering the required items, return to Stocking Stuffer. Alternatively, if she did not ask for anything from the player, she mentions that she could tell that they really enjoy socks.

As promised, she rewards the player with a pair of patterned socks for either the front or back legs, and asks the player to come back again the next day for more socks.

Journal: Stocking Stuffer told me to come back tomorrow for more socks.

• Wait until tomorrow

After a day has passed:

Journal: It's a new day: Stocking Stuffer should have another present of socks for me.

• Talk to Stocking Stuffer
