Monster Carnival Party Quest
You need to be between Level 30 - 50 to do the party quest
Talk to the NPC Spiegelmann in either Kerning City, Orbis, or Ludibrium to enter Monster Carnival.
Monster Carnival is unlike other PQs, in that this is a competitive party quest pitting your party against another party. Your goal is to collect the most amount of Carnival Points (CP) by killing monsters from the opposing party, and these CP, in turn, can be used to perform 3 tasks to distract the opposing party: Summon a Monster, Skill, and Protector. There are also designated hotkeys that can be used when selecting one of these three tabs to activate it.
Summon a Monster:
Monsters can be summoned to attack the opposing party.

There are 6 Carnival Fields in all - Carnival Field 1 to 4 are for parties that have 2-4 members, while Carnival 5 to 6 are for parties that have 3-6 members. For obvious reasons, you will want to have the maximum number of party members for the selected Carnival Field, although it's not necessarily required.
Items that are dropped in this PQ will be used up instantly (except for Maple Coins, for redeeming prizes later). In addition to the usual potions (Mana Elixirs, Elixirs, etc), the following is the list of other items dropped:

As there is not one perfect strategy - as conditions such as what jobs the opposing party members are, and what Carnival Field you're in, will require a different strategy each time - there will not be one written here. Simply play through a game or two to familiarise yourself and work closely with your teammates to win. Also do note that each round takes 10 minutes.
