The Pâtisserie is a level 1 dungeon introduced in patch 7.41 with Dawntrail.

There are no class, job, or level requirements for participation.

This instance is available for a limited time only on Valentione's Day (2026).

Guide

Players can enter the seasonal event instance The Pâtisserie solo or with up to 4 players, with an option to matchmake. This is done by speaking to a House Valentione Pâtissier, located at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre in Old Gridania or the Acorn Orchard in New Gridania.

During the instance, players need to collect ingredients from the shelves at the edge of the room, and carry them to the cakes in the middle of the room, while avoiding the Mammet Pâtissiers that patrol the area. Should a player be spotted by a mammet, it will follow them and fire large conal ice AoEs. Being hit by a mammet's AoE will inflict Deep Freeze for 10 seconds.

4 different types of cakes can be made, each of which requires a different combination of ingredients. The NPC Kupka Kupp will automatically update the duty progress with the needed ingredients, and the shelves with the correct ingredients will sparkle. Upon completing the 2nd cake onwards, the background music will change and the mammets will move faster. The 5th cake has no specific ingredient requirements, only needing 4 ingredients submitted per category.

Players have access to the duty action "Bake: Off", which will temporarily stun mammets in a cone in front of the user. This can hold up to 3 charges, with a charge recovering every 15 seconds. However, this action has an animation lock (which can leave the user vulnerable to a mammet's AoE), and it cannot be used while carrying an ingredient.

The duty has a time limit of 10 minutes from when Kupka Kupp calls out the first batch of ingredients. When this time limit runs out, the duty ends, even if some cakes are not yet finished. Players will then have an opportunity to give Player Commendations to their party members.

Rewards

Players are awarded Valentione's Day Chocolates based on how many cakes they finished (plus the progression of the next one), and these chocolates can be traded to a House Valentione Maid vendor for event items.
