How to get the Bouquet emote in Final Fantasy XIV

To get the Bouquet emote for your collection, you’ll need to complete the quest that makes up this year’s Valentione’s Day event. It’s a pretty straightforward quest that won’t even require you to lea♐ve Gridania.

To begin the eveౠnt quest “I Promise You a Rose Garden”, head to Old Gridania and talk to Astrid at Mih Khetto’s Amphitheatre (X:10.2, Y:9.4). It turns out that the Botanist in charge of growing the roses is having relationship drama, and who better to act as a relationship counselor than the Warrior of Light?

After talking to Astrid, head 🌞to the Greatloam Growery, either on foot or via🍨 the Botanist’s Guild Aethernet Shard, and find Laurovic (X:10.3, Y:9.4). He’ll tell you the full story of Sylginie, his former love who disappeared out of the blue some time ago,  and ask that you go out in search of her with only a description of an Elezen with silver hair and a Rose Earring. 

To find her, you’ll need to go back to Mih Khetto’s ꦜAmphitheatre. Your task is made simple thanks to the names given to the three NPCs that you can possibly talk to:

  • Woman with a Rose Hairpin (X:9.9, Y:8.9)
  • Woman with an Orchid Earring (X:9.5, Y:8.7)
  • Woman with a Rose Earring (X:10.4, Y:9.1)

Either speak to them all or head directly for the one with the Rose Earring to complete this step of the quest. Of course, things aren’t ever simple in FFXIV. As it turns out Sylginie does not want to see Laurovic, and sends you off to tell him such. You’ll 🦂find him close to the Shaded Bower (X:💯12.8, Y:9.2), and talking to him will provide a new twist to the story.

Now the task has changed, and you must pl𝕴ant a rumor around Gridania in order to entic꧑e Sylginie out of hiding. You’ll have a choice between saying that Laurovic has been detained by an Ishgardian Knight, or that he’s entered into a duel with one. Either way, the results will be the same, so it doesn’t matter which you choose. 

To spread the rumor, talk to the three fol🍌lowing NPCs:

  • Woman with a Rose Hairpin (X:9.9, Y:8.9)
  • Woman with an Orchid Earring (X:9.5, Y:8.7)
  • Woman with a Rose Earring (X:10.4, Y:9.1)

With the rumor in circulation, seek out Laurovic at the Greatloam Growery (X:6.1, Y:7.4) to trigger the final pivotal cutscene of the quest, a🌳nd see🦄 him reunited with Sylginie. 

After that, all that’s left to do is head back to Astrid at🌟 Mih Khetto’s Amphitheatre to complete the quest and obtain the Bouquet emote.
