Valentines Event 2023

The Valentine's Event of 2023 was an event that released on February 10th, at 11:15 PM PST, as the game's third Valentine's Event, and lasted two weeks. Unlike previous Valentine's Events, there is a Valentine Store instead of a Gacha, and event currency collected through collectable Hearts around the map, and minigames akin to those of the Winter Event 2022-2023 and Halloween Event 2022, albeit on a smaller scale. However, it kept the trend of Valentine's Events of not having any bosses to fight.
Part 1:	Added Fyluf, Faecalu, Laibonich, Wewuix, Heartstruck palette, Valentines Bouquet palette, Cupid palette, Heartless palette, and the Valentine's Event Store with the Hearts currency.
Part 2:	Added Ardor Warden, Hebitoa, Hyboria, Laharpes, Heart and Swan plushies, Aphrodite Material palette, and Mailbox minigame.

== Part 2: Hebitoa and Hyboria ==
* Both released at the start of Week 2 on Day 14
* Designed by Xhosha_Onkai on the Creatures of Sonaria discord.
Part 2 released on February 17th. For the second part of the Valentine's event, 2 new plushies, 1 new event exclusive material palette, and 2 new creatures were released, as well as fully returning the remaining Valentines Event Creatures. Beforehand it was indicated nothing would cost more than 12 thousand Hearts. However, the heart plushie works in a similar way to Springram Plushie from Easter Event 2022, giving a boost of being able to sniff out spawned specific event currency (on this case, hearts) too which is planned to help players find hearts more easily! Additionally, a Mailbox minigame was introduced in order to gain more event currency.
Alongside the event, several creature tags got updated colors.
* Re-introduced all creatures from last year's event:
** Ardor Warden (Old) for 12000 Hearts.
** Laharpes (Old) for 7000 Hearts.
* New additions:
** Hebitoa (New) for 6000 Hearts.
** Hyboria (New) for 8500 Hearts.
* First ever Valentines Event plushies:
** Heart, for 5000 Hearts.
** Swan, for 3500 Hearts.
* First ever Valentines-Event-Exclusive (non-signature) material palette, Aphrodite, for 700 Hearts.
* Mailbox minigame introduced for the event.

== Mailbox Minigame ==
A Mailbox Minigame was introduced, consisting on delivering Letters from a central post Station located at the center of the map to Mailboxes scattered around it in order to gain the most amount of hearts (40-60). There will be visuals and hints to tell you where to deliver these letters. The faster a letter is delivered, the more likely it is to get a higher score. Every 6 letters there's a 5 minute cooldown.
While this method may give less Hearts than just grinding the hearts scattered throughout the map, it is far more reliable, especially on full servers where most of those hearts are already being picked up.

== Valentine Store ==
The Valentine Store behaves exactly the same way as other event shops, except lacking a plushie subsection during part 1, and using the Heart currency which has the quirk of being obtainable by playing in a traditional way and an unorthodox way:
* Hearts can be found spawning around the map. Each collected map heart gives 5-10 hearts.
* Hearts can be gained on the mailbox minigame.
* Hearts can be earned by healing other players, giving 2 hearts per 500 health healed, up to 20 hearts before needing to wait 2 minutes before getting more hearts by this method.
** Heal Touch, Negative Damage, and Restoration Beam work for this, but abilities like Pack Healer, Passive Heal and those which only heal the user (Cloud Breath, Heal Breath, Life Leech, Water Breath) do not.
The store is split into 3 tabs:
* The Hearts tab for players to buy Hearts with .
* The Creatures tab for players to buy Valentine's Event creatures with Hearts.
* The Plushies tab for players to buy Valentine's Event plushies with Hearts.

== Trivia ==
* Due to how the event currency can be obtained from healing targets, a creature with one of the allowed healing abilities can reliably AFK-farm the event currency.
** This also makes it the first Event Currency that can be AFK-farmed alone, using Restoration Beam over the user.
* The canon names of the sad rocks are Rocky (small rock), and Petra (big rock).
