Login Rewards
https://www.sylestia.com/festival/login_rewards/

Throughout the duration of the Festival, players can visit here every day to claim a free reward! After claiming a day's reward, players must wait until 12:00 AM daily to claim the next day's reward regardless of when they claimed today's reward.

Players also have the option of unlocking the Premium Login Rewards for a one-time fee. Once purchased, players can claim additional, more premium, rewards with each day's claim! Additionally, each day's rewards will be unlocked automatically for you, even if you missed a day! However, you will still have to visit the page to manually claim them. If you do not unlock the Premium Login Rewards, you will have to manually unlock and claim your rewards for each day.

There are lots of awesome rewards available. Be sure to check them out and claim them all!




Tournament of Themed
https://www.sylestia.com/festival/event_fortune/tournament_of_themed/



Welcome to the Tournament of Themed! Here, Sylestia's best and brightest Themed Pets will duke it out for the title of being the best. What does it mean to be the best, you ask? Well, that is up for you to decide! After the initial seeding, the tournament will enter the Selection Phase. During the Selection Phase, players will fill out their own individual brackets based on how they think the tournament will go. Players must complete their bracket and pick winners for every matchup in order to qualify.

Once the Selection Phase ends, the tournament will begin. At this point, players will no longer be able to choose winners nor fill out a bracket. So don't wait too long! Once the tournament begins, the Matchup Phase will go live on a round by round basis. In total, there will be six total rounds of play. You can view the start times for each round in the bracket below.

During the Matchup Phase, players will be able to vote on each matchup and pick the Themed Pet that they personally feel is the best. Once a round ends, the Themed Pet of each matchup that won the most votes will move onto the next round.

However, there will be one major twist during the Matchup Phase! While during the Selection Phase players will view each Themed Pet as their official showcase, during the Matchup Phase, each Themed Pet will load with random Traits and as a random Gender. If a Themed Pet is a Restricted Themed Pet, it will load with 3 Visible Traits of its set. Otherwise, it will load with 4 Visible non-Restricted Traits. This random shuffling will happen every round, even if the Themed Pet moves onto the next round!

At the end of the final round, a champion will be crowned! Players will receive points for having picked correct matchup winners, with more points being awarded for correct picks in deeper rounds. There will be a leaderboard for players who score the most points where they can win various prizes. Players who fill out a bracket and players who vote each round will also receive various participation prizes. Don't miss out!




The Lucky Pot Scratchcard Game
https://www.sylestia.com/festival/event_fortune/the_lucky_pot/

The Lucky Pot Scratch Card has returned! The goal of the game is to scratch off prizes and match 3 like prizes to win that prize. However, there are a few twists that help make the game more fun and help to award more prizes!

Themed Bonus Bar: The most prominent feature of the game is the Themed Bonus Bar. For each game that you play where you do not win a Themed Pet, this bar will fill up. As it fills up, the chances of you winning a Themed Pet increase! Once you win a Themed Pet, the bar resets and you can fill it up again. This not only helps to award more Themed Pets, but also helps to prevent long droughts without winning.

Rollover Prizes: For the lesser prizes of the game, the amounts that you find from previous games roll over to future games. For example, this means that if you only uncover 2 of one of these prizes, this will rollover to future games and you will only require one more to win that prize. This feature helps to ensure that you can continue winning constant prizes over multiple games.

Bonus Scratches: Find two of a big prize but ran out of Scratches? Well you can purchase a bonus and get 4 additional Scratches to find that third match!

Free Play Vouchers: Collect [Piece of The Lucky Pot Ticket] x10 and then Use them from your Inventory to claim a Free Play Voucher! You can find these ticket pieces by defeating Maeve the Cursed and other enemies in The Lost Grove, Nurturing (Max of 3 per Day, but 20% more common), completing Tasks from the Event Task Log, or from the Lucky Draw Point Shop.

Collect as many as you can throughout the Event to claim as many Free Play Vouchers as possible!

For Lost Grove Drops:
Vexxar the Vile: Drops x5 Pieces
Dungeon Bosses: Drops x3 Pieces
Dungeon/Regular Named: Drops x1 Piece
Elites: Can Drop 1 Piece
Regular Enemies (Stage 13): Can Drop 1 Piece Rarely from Dungeon Enemies; Very Rarely from non-Dungeon Enemies.
Regular Enemies (Stages 1-12): Can Drop 1 Piece Rarely from Enemies

Exclusive Prizes: The Lucky Pot has all sorts of special prizes, which includes: 3-Visible (2-Visible Restricted) Themed Pets, the Title: Lady Luck and Title: Lord Luck, Secret Maps, Fortune Event Avatar Items, Diamond Shop Philters, and a Jackpot of millions of Gold!

Random Restricted Themed Pet: New this year to The Lucky Pot, players will have a chance at winning any previously released (prior to the 2022 Fortune Event) Restricted Themed Pet! Similar to the concept of the Wheel of Themed, this will allow players a chance at obtaining rare and nearly impossible to get Themed Pets that have long been retired.




Lucky Draw
https://www.sylestia.com/festival/event_fortune/lucky_draw/

Lucky Draw has returned! This is a simple card game where you bet on whether your score is Lower, Tied, or Higher compared to your opponent's score.



The Deck: Contains a total of ten cards, numbered 1 through 10.

The Score: The added value of the cards in a player's hand. For example, a 2 and 6 would be a score of 8.

First Round: You and your Opponent are each dealt two cards from the deck. Two additional cards are discarded. You can see your cards and one card from the Discard Pile. You must bet whether or not your Score is Lower, Tied, or Higher than your Opponent's Score based on the information provided.

Final Round: After your bet, the Final Round begins and your Opponent reveals one of their cards and the second card of the Discard Pile is revealed. You must now bet again whether you think your Score is Lower, Tied, or Higher than your Opponent's Score. While you can switch your bet to a different option, you will win less Points than if you keep your bet the same. After betting the final time, all cards are revealed and the game ends.

Game Fee: The cost to play each game is 10 Points.

Purchase Points: While you start with 200 Points for free, if you end up running out of Points and no longer have enough to play, you will have the option of purchasing an additional 200 Points for 10,000 Gold.



Prize Board: As you play and accumulate Points, you will unlock the options to purchase Prizes via the Prize Board at the bottom of the page. Some Prizes have certain Daily and Event limitations where you can only purchase so many in the given period of time. Daily purchase limits will reset each day at midnight.

Leaderboards: For the duration of the Fortune Event, we will be tracking 3 separate Leaderboards. The players who end up on the Leaderboards when the event ends will receive the following prizes:

Grand Prize (1st): [Secret Map (Fortune Event)] x10, [Fortune Event Themed Pet] x1, [Piece of Lucky Pot Ticket] x10
Placement Prize (2nd/3rd): [Secret Map (Fortune Event)] x5, [Fortune Event Themed Pet] x1, [Piece of Lucky Pot Ticket] x10
Consolation Prize (4th-10th): [Piece of Lucky Pot Ticket] x10





Secret Maps
https://www.sylestia.com/festival/event_fortune/secret_map/

This is a brand new feature that allows players to search for treasure with each Secret Map that they find!

How to Play: Collect [Secret Map (Fortune Event)] by participating in various Fortune Event features. Secret Maps can be obtained as prizes from The Lucky Pot, can be purchased from The Lucky Draw Points Shop, and can be dropped as loot from Dungeon Named/Bosses or from Maeve the Cursed. When you have a Secret Map, use it from your Inventory and then visit the Secret Maps page to begin your Expedition and search for treasure!

Each Expedition will begin in the center of the explorable area. Each tile requires one Secret Map to uncover and will award a various amount of treasure. The further away from the center tile that you explore, the better the rewards. However, you can only explore adjacent tiles to ones that you have already explored.

You begin each Expedition with 3 Expedition Supplies. Sometimes, an unfortunate Event will occur and consume one of your Expedition Supplies. If you run out of Expedition Supplies, you will have to start a new Expedition.



The Expedition Tiles come in four different Tiers. Each higher Tier provides better rewards, but at a greater risk of consuming one of your Expedition Resources! The available rewards include Lost Grove Materials and Consumables, Fortune Event Avatar Items, and Fortune Event Themed Pets.

Tier 1 Prizes
-Risk Rate: 0%
-Basic Lost Grove Materials
-Basic Lost Grove Consumables
-Epic Avatar Items
-2-Visible (1-Visible Restricted) Themed Pets

Tier 2 Prizes
-Risk Rate: 25%
-Basic or Better Lost Grove Materials
-Better Lost Grove Consumables
-Epic Avatar Items
-2-Visible (1-Visible Restricted) Themed Pets

Tier 3 Prizes
-Risk Rate: 50%
-Better to Greater Lost Grove Materials
-Greater Lost Grove Consumables
-Epic Avatar Items
-2-Visible (1-Visible Restricted) Themed Pets

Tier 4 Prizes
-Risk Rate: 75%
-Best Lost Grove Materials
-Best Lost Grove Consumables
-Legendary Avatar Items
-3-Visible (2-Visible Restricted) Themed Pets





Event Task Log
https://www.sylestia.com/festival/event_fortune/task_log/

The Event Task Log is also available! Similar to the Festival Task Logs for seasonal festivals, this is a mini version of it. How this works is just simply complete whatever is required of the Task and credit will automatically be tallied into your Task Log. Once you have completed the Task the required amount of times, you will receive whatever the reward for the Task is. It's that simple!

There are both Daily Tasks, which reset every day at midnight, and Event Tasks, which can only be completed once per Event.


Exclusive Named: Maeve the Cursed

Maeve is back! Rumors are swirling that a dastardly foe has been seen roaming the lands of the Lost Grove. Suffering from a bout of bad luck, she is seeking fortune by any means possible. Be on the lookout for Maeve the Cursed!




Maeve the Cursed is an Event Named that can now be encountered within the Lost Grove. She can only be encountered via random encounters from the Untamed Forest or the Forsaken Caverns. Each player has a hidden counter that determines her chance to spawn. The more enemies that the player defeats, the higher the chance that they have of encountering Maeve the Cursed. Once they encounter Maeve the Cursed, this counter resets and starts from 0 again.

As a first time bonus, all players will get a boosted counter to start off with. Additionally, at midnight each day, their counter will get a big boost. This will help players find a Maeve the Cursed more consistently at least once a day. While there is no limit to how many can be encountered by one player per day, she is meant to be on the rarer side.

If you happen to successfully take her down, you will have a chance at some exclusive new Avatar Items. You also have a chance at receiving a [Fortune Event Themed Pet], a Secret Map (Fortune Event), and a [Piece of the Lucky Pot Ticket]!

So... let me get this straight.

-maeve only spawns outside the temple.
-your drop rate gets penalized for reaching the temple.
-so if a player in the temple wants to grind for those secret maps and themed pets, they have to deal with the reduced ticket drop rate.

this sounds a lot like players are actually penalized if they've reached the temple. I don't see the logic behind this choice - could you explain?

(apologies if I've missed something in the overview, i just woke up and there are a lot of words. :'D)

Edit: it seems temple names do drop the maps, so that's 2/3 for maeve drops.

Sorry about that. I still had it set to admin-only mode. It should be working now.

Thanks for the heads up! =)

Yes, that's correct. That is actually how a lot of content has been for the last couple years, including last year's Fortune Event. Players who are progressing through the Ancient Temple, and even those who have completed it, are leagues beyond those who haven't unlocked it yet. Since the content outside of the Ancient Temple stops scaling at a certain point, those advanced players can absolutely slaughter the 'open world' content. In order to keep things fair and balanced, which again, is something we've pretty much always done - or at least tried to, I make adjustments so that things like event drops are more normalized across the playerbase.

I am sure it's not the most ideal solution, but it's the best I can do with what I have available to me at the moment. I have a laundry list of future plans/changes to address all of these 'less-than-ideal' mechanics in present day.

As I mentioned in Region Chat, I will see if I can get an Ancient Temple version of the boss to spawn. But it's not as simple as it would seem. There's a lot that goes into it.

The rewards from the Login Rewards are a "Piece" of a Lucky Pot Ticket. You can collect these pieces from all over during the Event. You can then combine 10 pieces into a free play.
