Days of Fortune

## Event Guide

**Days of Fortune** is an annual event celebrating the traditions of the Lunar New Year festival that happens around the end of January and spans over the following 14 days.

During the two-week event, a brightly lit pier appears at the edge of the water in Home with Spirits from a past Season offering  High Fives and other Friend Actions to passing players. In addition to a number of firework shows, a special stone Dragon that drops Light to appears in Home for 8 minutes starting at the beginning of every even hour PST (UTC-8). The Secret Area is also open to everybody during this event, allowing players to enjoy its skating rink on the building's rooftop.

Lunar New Year-themed IAPs are available from the in-game shop, and the Auspicious Visitor and Days of Fortune Event Staff offer various cosmetics from their Friendship Trees. Free Spells to try all of these items can also be collected from the Sleepy Traveler's boat and the present box on the roof of the Secret Area.

*For the occasion, a special gifting node shaped like an envelope also appears in the Friendship Menu of friends with whom a player has the  Piggyback Action unlocked, allowing you to gift 5  for 14  by meeting them in-game. The Fortune Gift Envelope can be given once a day per person, like regular Heart gifts.*

## January 2023

Days of Fortune begins on **00:00 Friday, January 20 (the day before LNY Eve) through 23:59 Thursday, February 2 (11 days after LNY), 2023 (all times PST, UTC-8).** A Spirit from the Season of Gratitude heralds the return of a group of Spirits. Each day during the first week, the group of Spirits from Season of Enchantment will arrive one by one. Join them on the pier that will appear in Home to watch a special fireworks show that will display every hour!

For the Year of the Rabbit, the Auspicious Visitor offers a Rabbit Mask to its tree, as well as all previous years cosmetics, and two new IAP are available through the Premium Candle Shop. Last year's felicitous figure also returned for players to ignite fireworks that emits up to a certain amount of Light to collect each day while the Nodding Muralist is dancing on its head.

Several new spells are being added to the usual assortment, including special themed fireworks in the shape of three different Sky creatures—find these on the Sleepy Traveler's boat! New this year, Spirits in all of Sky's realms will take part in the event, too: Relive a Spirit's memory, and they'll give you a gift of Light in return!

For the duration of the event, you can gift your friends 5 Hearts using 14 Candles from the Friendship Tree.

### Home Display

Every hour (Every even hour PST on and after January 27), there will be a sequence of events happening. Starting from xx:00:00 (the first chime of the hourly Home clock), Pieces of Light will fall from the sky onto the pier in Home. During the fireworks show, a "sit" button will appear when you approach the end of the pier, where you can sit down and watch the fireworks. However, unlike a chat bench, this pier does not allow a player to chat with strangers or friends that does not have the chat feature unlocked. Then, after four minutes, starting xx:04:00, a Dragon will appear in the main area of Home, with a Spirit dancing on the head of the Dragon. Players can jump or fly onto the dragon and light the eyes of the dragon, but this does not have any functional effects. The music "Dragon Dance" by Vincent Diamante is be played during the entire Dragon Dance session.

Every minute on the minute from xx:05:00 to xx:11:00 (or every minute since the time you entered Home, if you entered or returned to Home in the middle of the event), the Dragon will drop down several large or small (random) firework rockets. The Dragon will disappear at xx:12:00. However it may drop another round of firework rockets just before its disappearance. You or another player needs to ignite and launch them before they disappear (≈20 seconds). Then, the fireworks will explode in a random direction and Pieces of Light will fall from the fireworks. The Pieces of Light will disappear after 30 seconds, regardless of whether it has already landed on the ground/water, or is still floating in the air.

As you try to collect the Pieces of Light, be careful not to accidentally go through one of the realm portals, as doing so will (1) waste time and likely missing a round of fireworks/Pieces of Light, and (2) reset your Return Shrine to the realm you just entered, losing the remembered position and possibly lose access to restricted areas (such as the Secret Area).

During a single Dragon Dance session, a player can collect about 350 Pieces of Light. There seems to be a daily limit of ≈1000 Pieces of Light that can be collected this way. After reaching the limit, the firework rockets won't generate any more "Wax" or orbs of light for you (other players will still be able to see and collect Pieces of Light). Thus, according to the Daily Light System, you can acquire 9 candles\* just from Home each day (including the 23 Pieces of Light from the red candles in Home), if you did not collect any other pieces of Light from other sources since last reset.

\*It takes 1026 Pieces of Light for the first 9 Candles in a day. Dragon Dance and Home red candles give 1000+23=1023 Waxes, only 3 short for nine candles, which is easily achieved by collecting Light from the pier during the fireworks show just preceding the Dragon Dance.

#### Update

Since January 27, the schedule for the display in Home has changed. The changes are as following:

1. The schedule of event has changed to every other hour (on the even numbered hours in PST and UTC), instead of every hour. As a result, the frequency of the displays has decreased.
2. The 4-minute fireworks show at the pier has been discontinued.
3. As a result of the removal of the fireworks show, the dragon dance now runs from xx:00~xx:08 instead of xx:04~xx:12.
4. The net result is the amount of Wax available is reduced. However, if you participate the event until no more Wax is dropped from the fireworks (reach the limit), the amount of Wax you can acquire each day will stay approximately the same. The amount of Wax during the fireworks show is very small compared to the Dragon Dance.

## January 2022

Days of Fortune began on **00:00 Monday, January 24 (one week before LNYE) and concluded on 23:59 Sunday, February 6 (6th day of LNY) (all times PST, UTC-8)**. A large brightly lit pier was added and all the spirits from the Season of Gratitude and the Gratitude seasonal guide was part of the event offering in-game currencies cosmetics.

During the second week, a fireworks show provided a vivid backdrop for games with friends and dance parties for Spirits and Sky Children alike. Last year's felicitous figure also returned, periodically appearing in Home to gift items for players to ignite that emitted up to a certain amount of Light to collect each day. The dragon appeared at Home every two hours for 10 minutes starting the beginning of every two hours and every hour on the last week of the event.

The Sleepy Traveling Merchant offered trial spells of 2022 items, and the Event Staff in the Secret Area had a box with free spells to try items from previous years!

(*During Days of Fortune, the fireworks show, visible from the pier, appeared to emit Light for players to collect, but this Light did not add to a player's Candle meter. To offset this bug and ensure the full amount of Light intended for the event was available to players, the felicitous figure that appeared periodically in Home provided an amount of Light equivalent to the combined total of Light originally planned from both sources.)*

*Days of Fortune was open to all who have progressed through at least Hidden Forest.*

This node allowed a player to offer a gift of 5 Hearts for 14 Candles. This gift option could only be given in-person, and up to once per day per friend. The cooldown was separate from normal Heart gifting, so that while this special gifting feature was available, players could send a maximum of 6 Hearts per day per friend.*
