Twinkling Treants have appeared at the Auction Houses in Windurst Woods, Bastok Mines, Southern San d'Oria and Lower Jeuno. Trade them common (e.g. not Rare or Exclusive) items to receive random presents and Pungent Powder II. Successful trades generate this emote: "After you trade a gift to the Twinkling Treant, you notice a small bag at your feet." You will also sometimes get gil instead of an item.
Trading Exclusive or Rare items will yield an emote: "The Twinkling Treant has a look of consternation on his face, concerned that the gift you are trying to give it is too valuable to take," and the treant will not take the item.
The treants can and will refuse items you have previously traded them with this message: "The same gift as the one you gave to the Twinkling Treant has been placed neatly at its feet."
