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
- The Tokuno champ spawn has returned this year to help with farming those Treasures of Tokuno!

Acid Slimes
- Increased sightings of acid slimes between April 1st to May 31st. One of the random top attackers will receive a bottle of pigment when the slime has been killed. The pigment will be the same color as the slime.

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.
- Find the zodiac statues in the tokuno dungeons. Bring these back to zento for a reward. Careful, the thieves have trapped the area and have kept the statues well guarded!

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.

If you have not gathered last year's zodiac statue for 'Year of the Monkey' you will have a limited time to claim yours from the cherry blossom collection before it switches over to this year's statue.

Save your petals as new 2017 rewards will be available mid April. All previous rewards aside from the 2016 monkey statue will remain.

This will be the last call to claim last year's "Year of the Monkey" statue. Some time around mid May the rewards will roll over to 2017. Only the monkey statue will change and you can still claim all existing rewards in addition to a few new ones.

House pets have been added to the blossom collection. Now you can own your own pet crane or pet shiba inu dog.

These pets are invulnerable and will not lose loyalty. They will stay within your house area and do not take up any control slots.

Just a reminder that the final days of the Cherry Blossom festival are quickly approaching!

The festival will be shut off on June 1st, 2017. The blossom collection box will remain so you can still claim prizes but you will have to wait until next year to collect more blossoms.

The event is now over! We hope everyone enjoyed the Cherry Blossom festival this year.

You can still turn in your blossoms and claim rewards by using the pink cherry blossom collection chest at the Zento bank. Blossom collection is turned off until April 1st, 2018.

One of these years I hope to actually get to do this event.

Never paying attention or I'm too busy when it rolls around.
