**Lodden's Night** was a ten-day event that ran from July 27, 2021, to August 6, 2021. It coincided with the introduction of Main Story Chapter 6, and featured  **SSR** pavilion sets Nightmist Aria and Gold Gilt Dream along with their corresponding Designer's Reflections and recolors.

## Description

*"Have you heard about the auction at Lodden Hotel?"*

Upon logging into the game, players all receive an invitation letter addressed to Miss Anya, inviting them to the auction being held at Lodden Hotel. The contents of the letter state the following:

*"Dear Miss Anya,*
*You are cordially invited to the auction at The Lodden Hotel, where there will be a mysterious collection for sale."*
*Lodden Hotel Auction House*
The event is split into four individual parts:

1. Lodden's Night
2. Hotel Infiltration
3. Private Banquet
4. Life of the Party

## Lodden's Night

The Lodden's Night Time-limited Summon Event can be accessed through the **Go to obtain Banquet Gown** button. The feature contains the two event sets: Mercury's Nightmist Aria and Zoey's Gold Gilt Dream, along with their Designer's Reflections. Additionally, the  **UR** sets Voice of Desire and Glittering Date from the permanent Gate of Heart feature are available, along with exclusive items ranging from  **SR** to  **UR** rarity for a total of **85** unique potential rewards.

Just like the summons in the Gate of Heart, the player can summon either one time or ten consecutive times at once, with the latter **guaranteeing at least one** Lodden's Night exclusive event item. The currency used to summon items is the  **Astral Card**, where one  Astral Card is required for one summon. Similar to  **Fantasy Tickets**, an  Astral Card can be purchased for **120  Pink Gems** or 120  **Star Gems**.  Astral Cards can also be obtained from the Hotel Infiltration and Life of the Party event parts, or through the user's shop:

## Private Banquet

The **Private Banquet** feature allows players who have completed Nightmist Aria or Gold Gilt Dream and obtained their respective Designer's Reflection(s) to host temporary 24-hour long parties with a styling of the set. Other players can join parties—either ones hosted by their friends or by any other player on the server—and obtain **Party Gifts**.

Each party has a certain number of Party Gifts available (initially 100), and each player can open three Party Gifts if available, with a limit of one gift per party. The gift includes small rewards, such as:

* 2000  Gold
* 1  Memory Key: R
* 1  Memory Key: SR
* 10  Poetry of Time

Upon opening a gift, the player has the option to leave one of three comments for the party host:

* Your outfit is fantastic! I'm loving it!
* I hope I will also get it one day!
* Words can hardly express how I feel: It's stunning!

### Starting a Party

Upon completing one of the event sets, players are redirected to the dress-up menu and are given the option to customize their outfit, background, and stickers. Once the styling is complete, the player can then start hosting the party. No changes to the styling are allowed to be made for the duration of the party.

Hosts are able to open their own party gifts and share their outfit.

## Life of the Party

The Life of the Party feature consists of various tasks that can be accomplished throughout the course of the event. Completing a task grants either 5, 10, or 20 points and small rewards. Accumulating a certain number of points grants more rewards, with the Life of the Party avatar frame as the final prize. Overall, 150 points are needed to obtain all the rewards. The player can obtain a maximum of 170 points, leaving a 20 point surplus if all tasks are completed.
