Summer Watermelon Bash Event
Wednesday August 5th, 2015 - Wednesday August 26th, 2015
In Ethergia, the fruit eats you!
(Unless you make it your pet first!)
Background Story:
The same radiation, caused by fallout from the Thanatos Incident and now known to cause the mutations in fauna on Ethergia we call Nightmares, has began to mutate the flora too!
It seems the same mutation is common in the late summer harvest months when melons on the vine cover the meadows and gentle slopes across every continent.
This year the melons are especially large, juicy and numerous! (It is too bad so few will actually be eaten.)
In fact, there are so many mutated melons one could call them an army, and they threaten the lives of common folk who look to Ioxenic for answers!
The mutation has become a serious problem each year and the Ioxenic respond as they always do to any problem:
Naturally, only the army of amnesiacs we call Temperion should be dispatched to handle it.
Description:
There are 3 grades of Mutated Watermelon Monsters that can be found over all maps. These monsters have a variety of special drops that players can treat themselves to.
Event Period
From after maintenance is complete on Wednesday, August 5th, 2015
To the beginning of maintenance on Wednesday, August 26th, 2015
Details:
Ornaments (7 Day Period) that will boost character stats while equipped
Special Event Pets that can be summoned and provide bonuses and help retrieve items.
* Important Notes on dropped Event Pets:
These special event versions level up to 10 in just minutes instead of the long time necessary for typical pets. DO NOT USE PET GROWTH BOOSTER on the Event Pets!
KNOWN BUG & SOLUTION: When a Pet item is picked up from dropped loot in the field it does not properly register the pet to the character. The problem caused by this is, although the pet may be activated and will accompany the character while active, the pet will not pick up loot and will not provide the bonuses listed in the Pet UI. During each maintenance period throughout the Event (once a week for 3 weeks) all the picked up Pet items will be removed from characters and replaced with one of each of the grades that were removed. So, make sure you pick up your favorite each week, even if you already have one. The Pet items will be replaced to the Manage Items storage area of the Item Mall. When a character moves the Pet item from the Item Mall Manage Items storage area to a character inventory the Pet is properly registered to the character and all of the bonuses and features are enabled.
As always, with Event Pets, they will all be completely removed 1 week after the end of the event period. (Removal Date: Wednesday, September 2nd, 2015 during maintenance.)
