Khloe Aliapoh is seeking inspiration to breathe new life into her stories. Take up her journal, the Wondrous Tails, and fill it with pages of your heroic feats, that she might craft new tales of her own. The more stories you have to share, the better the rewards!

Khloe Aliapoh fears her stories are not quite what they used to be, as they no longer seem to lift the spirits of her troubled friend. Take up Khloe's journal, the Wondrous Tails, and fill it with pages of your own adventures, that she might be inspired to write new stories of her own!

— Patch 3.4 Special Site

Wondrous Tails is a weekly activity, unlocked at level 60, that allows players to complete a semi-randomized selection of old duties to earn rewards.

Unlock

Completing Wondrous Tails

1. Receive a Wondrous Tails Journal

Speak with the NPC Khloe Aliapoh in Idyllshire (X:5.7, Y:6.1) to receive a journal containing sixteen objectives. These objectives are rolled from one of two pools of objectives, depending on the player's Main Scenario Quest progression, and are specific per player.

  • A new journal will be available from Khloe Aliapoh every week on Tuesday at 1:00 a.m. (PDT).
  • Your   Wondrous Tails journal is stored in the Key Items tab of your inventory.
  • Players cannot accept a new Wondrous Tails journal until they have accepted rewards from their previously completed one, or if their previous journal has expired.

2. Complete Objectives to Obtain Seals

Upon completing the objectives corresponding to the squares in the journal, you will receive up to 9 seals at random that can be added to your journal.

  • You can only receive one seal per objective.

All duties that were not released in the current expansion can be completed using an Unrestricted Party (i.e., with level sync disabled) and will count towards Wondrous Tails. This is the preferred method of completing some duties such as extreme trials or The Coils of Bahamut Lv. 50 raids instead of queuing in Duty Finder. Players who are not able to complete these duties solo will often post a Party Finder listing with "WT" in the description, meaning one "unsynced" run for Wondrous Tails completion.

3. Hand in the Wondrous Tails Journal

When you have received 9 seals for your journal, deliver it to Khloe Aliapoh, and she will reward you accordingly. You will receive a base reward for obtaining 9 seals, and additional rewards for completing rows horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. A Wondrous Tails journal can only be kept for two weeks, starting from the Tuesday when it was first issued, before it must be handed in for a reward.

  • In the case you exceed the reward period for a Wondrous Tails journal, you may speak with Khloe Aliapoh to exchange it for a new one.

Limited Jobs are unable to turn in Wondrous Tails Journals.

Journal difficulty

Khloe's journals have two difficulty states, which we will call low-level and high-level.

  • The low-level state only includes duties ranging from level 1-60. Each reward tier has 2 reward options.
  • The high-level state includes duties ranging from level 1-100, excluding level 50 trials. Each reward tier has 3 reward options.

The low-level state is the default.

The high-level state unlocks once the player has completed the last Main Scenario Quest of the most-recent base expansion. As of Patch 7.0, this means the player needs to complete the quest Main Scenario Quest Dawntrail.

Second Chance

When you complete an objective with one or more party members who are new to the duty, you will receive one Second Chance point. You can receive up to 9 points, which can be used as described below.

  • Once you have unlocked Wondrous Tails, it is possible to receive Second Chance points even if you do not currently possess a journal.
  • You will only receive one Second Chance point per objective even if more than one party member is new to the duty.
  • Second Chance points can only be obtained from duties that offer bonuses when one or more players are new to the duty, meaning that Guildhests are ineligible.
Action Required Points Description
Retry 1 Restore the status of a completed duty of the player's choosing to incomplete, while rendering the status of a random incomplete duty to complete.
Shuffle 2 Shuffle the position of all seals in the journal. * Only available when current seal count is between 3 and 7.

Retry will allow the player to re-run one of the already completed duties to earn an additional sticker.

Use Shuffle at 7 Stickers to re-arrange your stickers to an optimal position. So if you're lucky with the last 2 stickers, you can receive the 3 Lines Reward.
