Final Fantasy XV ’s Moogle Chocobo Carnival has arrived, bringing with it all sorts of goodies for Final Fantasy fans and first-timers to collect. By taking part in the Carnival’s minigames, doing sidequests, exploring and helping out clueless NPCs, you can redeem Choco-Mog Medallions for some pretty stellar goodies.
There are three Prize Counters at various locations in Altissia, each of which has three vendors. Each of the three counters has the same selection. The vendor on the left sells Regalia stuff and Leisure items (for fishing), the middle merchant sells consumable items (like Elixir and Phoenix Down), and the vendor on the right has all the interesting stuff: rare items, crafting materials and ingredients to use for Elemancy, Cid’s sidequests in the main game and Iggy’s recipes.
Below, we’ve listed the items you can get from each vendor. For rare items, materials and ingredients, we’ve detailed their various uses and sale prices (much credit is due to this thread on the FFXV subreddit, particularly on the topic of recipes). Most of the items you can buy with Choco-Mog Medallions can be acquired elsewhere in the game and should not be considered “missable." However, there are some fishing items and trophies that can only be obtained from fishing and chocobo racing during the Carnival.
