Cherry Blossom Festival April 1st to May 15th

Post by Death »

Cherry Blossom Festival (Yearly from April 1st to May 15th)

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

Treasures of Tokuno

- Increased drop rate of Treasures of Tokuno between April 1st to May 15th
- Leurocian's Mempo of Fortune and Yomotsu Elder's Sleeves as rare lesser treasure drops
- 10 new one charge exotic lesser pigment drops
- Turn in 10 lesser treasures for one of the 10 new greater metal pigments

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!

Be sure to turn your blossoms in with the same character if you racking up 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.
- An NPC in Zento will send you on a quest to find stolen statues. Return them for a reward.

Dungeon Changes
- Some spawn changes have been changed or cleaned up
- All monsters have a chance to drop blossoms in your pack upon their death (Only during festival season from April 1st to May 15th).
- Your luck will influence your odds of getting a higher quality blossom which is worth more turn-in points.

One important thing to note:

Turn in your blossoms on the same character if you are racking up points. Points are character bound and not account bound!

I have updated the post in the events and patch note section to reflect this.

Just a reminder that there are 10 more days left in the festival.

May 15th is the last day to collect petals for the Cherry Blossom festival and is the last day to participate in the various quests.

On May 16th, the festival will end and petals will stop dropping until next year. The drop rate for the Treasures of Tokuno will also return to its normal amount.

The collection chest will remain at the Zento bank if you have petals to turn in or if you'd like to claim a reward.

Did the petals stop dropping a day early? I haven't gotten any in a couple of hours today...

I'll check the code conditions to verify but should have been up to and including may 15th unless the server has a different time setting.

The Cherry Blossom Festival is now over (until next year).

The Treasures of Tokuno drop rate is now back to its normal amount. The quests and puzzles are also disabled until next year.

The new Treasures of Tokuno and pigments are now a regular addition to the treasure list. They can be collected any day from now on.

The blossom collection remains at the Zento bank so you can return your blossoms and cash in your points. No new blossoms can be collected until next year.

There may be some straggler festival goer quest givers around Tokuno. If you find one, please post the location in a screenshot or directions for staff to find them. A reward will be given to anyone who discovers the location of the quest givers.

Thanks, and hope you all enjoyed the event!
