Post by **Death** » Sat Apr 02, 2016 2:35 pm

The Cherry Blossom Festival Returns!

Head to the town of Zento in the Tokuno Islands to take part in the festival!

The festival runs yearly from April 1st to May 31st.

During the festival season, you can enjoy the following benefits:

Treasures of Tokuno
- Increased drop rate of Treasures of Tokuno between April 1st to May 31st

Cherry Blossom Puzzles

- Head to Zento and try one of the Cherry Blossom puzzles. Win lesser Treasures of Tokuno as prizes as well as blossoms for the community collection.
- Gives a higher chance of getting Leurocian's Mempo of Fortune or the Yomotsu Elder's sleeves as a prize
- 1 in 50 chance of getting the puzzle exclusive shadow veil mempo!

Blossom Collection

Collect different blossoms and turn them in for new prizes, such as decorative flower vines, costumes of tokuno creatures, and new equipment!

Note: Be sure to turn your blossoms in with the same character if you are collecting points. Points are character bound, not account bound!

Collecting blossoms can be done several ways
- Complete the quests that can be found at the Zento bank
- Kill monsters in the three Tokuno based dungeons (Fan Dancer's Dojo, Yomotsu Mines or the Citadel)
- Escort festival goers to Zento
- Complete the Cherry Blossom Puzzles for a chance to get blossoms as a reward
- Sometimes spawned naturally around the ground around Tokuno (Not in dungeons)

Quests
- Search the lands for the terrible Niddhogg. A random person in the top attackers list will get its head upon death. Deliver the head to the NPC in Zento for a reward.
- Festival escorts can be found around the Tokuno islands. Bring them to Zento for a reward.
- An NPC in Zento will give you a quest to kill a specific list of lesser monsters that are found in Tokuno.

Dungeon Changes
- Some spawn changes have been changed or cleaned up
- All monsters in the fan dancer's dojo, the yomotsu mines or the citadel have a chance to drop blossoms in your pack upon their death (Only during festival season from April 1st to May 31st).
- Your luck will influence your odds of getting a higher quality blossom which is worth more turn-in points.

Which tokuno spawner? If you are referring to Mido's lost statues quest from last year, this one will return the week of april 11-15. There is a new storyline related to his disappearance.

The other quest npcs and spawners have been set up.

Ohhhh ya, champs are temporarily disabled as they went through a major overhaul but Red accidentally pushed them to prod before they were finalized from test

.

He put a free spawner to gauntlet for the time being (can be found at most towns).

Hah farm tots in your fav spot. I would say champ spawn but it's currently disabled until testing is done

(so very sorry).

Otherwise i would prob recommend the dungeons as you get other goodies there.

Just a head's up that there is a little over a week left to participate in the Cherry Blossom events.

The final day is May 31st, 2016. You will be able to collect petals and participate in the special quests and blossom puzzles up until the 31st. On June 1st, the petals will stop spawning and the quests and puzzles will be removed.

The collection box will remain all throughout the year so you can bring in petals or trade other players for petals they've obtained. No new petals can be obtained until the event starts up again next year on April 2017.

Last few hours of the cherry blossom festival for 2016! We hope you enjoyed the festival this year.

The petals stop dropping from mobs in the dungeon automatically starting at 12am June 1st. There will be a bit more time to complete quests and such but all the NPCs will be removed tomorrow evening.
