Heists and High Jinks Are Afoot at the Saucer! was the 2021 edition of the seasonal event The Make It Rain Campaign in Final Fantasy XIV.

The event was started by accepting the sidequest The Great Horn Heist by talking to Ollier in Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (X:9.4 Y:9.2).

History[]

Ollier has asked the Warrior of Light for help in solving a robbery and clearing Hugue, one of the attendants who has been wrongly accused as the prime suspect. In the lounge, Ollier briefs him on the details of the incident in question. Hugue has become a suspect primarily because of his proximity to the scene of the crime, as well as a prior theft he committed years ago. Ollier, however, remains convinced that the real culprit can be found elsewhere. With Master Roland's blessing, the Warrior of Light conducted an investigation on their own. To expedite their investigation, Ollier handed over a journal that could be used to record any testimony or observations of the crime scene and surroundings.

After the investigations, the Warrior of Light shares his deductions before a tribunal presided over by Ollier, Master Roland, the Captain Daluce. After a series of arguments, it is revealed that the culprit was actually Brass Blade Pipimaya. Sasapano, Pipimaya's twin brother, went undercover to arrange an alibi for his brother while he was stealing the Sabotender Emperador horn.

Pipimaya and Sasapano from FFXIV — Pipimaya and Sasapano.

Pipimaya explained that they had a younger brother who was stricken with a rare and almost untreatable disease. When they learned that their brother had little time remaining, Pipimaya and Sasapano were devastated and determined to at least fulfill his greatest dream: the dream of sailing on his own Sabotender Emperador. Hoping to fulfill their brother's last wish, Pipimaya and Sasapano embarked on a quest to amass as much MGP as we could muster. Sasapano, in particular, exhibited great aptitude for games and soon became known as one of Saucer's most successful regular players. No matter how much MGP they gathered, they realized that they would not be able to put it together in time. In their desperation, they came up with the idea of stealing the horn while the hustle and bustle of the festival distracted the attendants.

Hugue sympathized with the brothers' plight and begged that they get a lighter punishment. Godbert Manderville appears on the scene and says that as the owner of the Manderville Gold Saucer, he was gifting Pipimaya and Sasapano with a Sabotender Emperador on the house. Which means that no theft would have occurred. Godbert says that in return they should repay my gift by performing a period of community service under his direct supervision. Pipimaya, should wear a Senor Sabotender suit and serve as assistant janitor in the Children's Ward of Frondale's Phrontistery. There he would do his best to provide relief and good cheer to the poor suffering children like his younger brother. Meanwhile Sasapano would use his knowledge and experience to serve as a companion for those children suffering from less severe symptoms. He would show them the Gold Saucer, so that their hearts might light up and they might forget their pain for a while.^[2]
