Good catch — the candles genuinely cannot drop, so that chain is a dead end right now.

Hannah's second step wants 9 Sabbath Candles off "those strange horned mushroom creatures" (Horny Mushrooms), and the step before it wants 25 Altar Pieces off Axe Stumps and Dark Axe Stumps. None of those three monsters has a drop entry for those items in our tables at all, so you can farm them all night and never see one drop. The items exist in the game, they're just orphaned.

The reference server we track had exactly the same hole and shipped a fix for it: Horny Mushroom drops the Sabbath Candle at roughly a 30% chance while quest is active, and Axe Stump and Dark Axe Stump each drop the Altar Piece at roughly 30%. I'm adding those three rows so the altar can actually be built and the festival can be lit.

What happened is that Hannah was offering two different quests with the same name. v83 re-ran that Christmas event, so the quest exists twice in the game files under the same title from the same NPC: the 2007 edition (id 8829) and the later one (id 28331). Only the later one actually asks for the 25 Altar Pieces — the 2007 edition's completion check is literally just "talk to Hannah", so if you happened to pick that row it handed itself straight back with the 10,000 EXP. In the real game the two never overlapped because each had its own end date, but we deliberately keep discontinued quests playable, which stacked them into one menu. The NPC menu already collapses re-runs that are identical; it now also collapses re-runs of the same title down to the row that carries the actual work, so Hannah offers only the version that wants the Altar Pieces. Across the whole quest catalogue this hides exactly three rows — this one and the two duplicated Verse8 event quests where one copy asks for 4 items and its twin asks for 5.

this still does this. i was able to turn in the quest instantly but it does it with the first quest avalible then the second quest it gives it doesnt do this

Fixed. Building the Altar can no longer be turned in instantly. There was an expired event copy of the quest with a talk-only objective sitting beside the real collect quest; that copy is no longer offered, so you have to gather the Altar Pieces. Live now.
