Pride

The Pride Festival, previously known as Pride Week, is an annual event primarily revolving around Pride month in June. It started as a one week event with a single themed monster in 2018, and has since expanded to cover several weeks in June. This festival has introduced a number of new monsters, wardrobe, and house items.

In the inaugural 2018 event, there was a single quest found in Luciola Forest, and the Pride Wignow could be found there or in Mama Tree. 2019's quests and stores were also confined to the Forest, though the Pride monsters could be found in all areas. Since then Pride has become a global event, with the monsters found in all areas of the valley. As such, there is no singular expedition or event area which dust warriors must travel to. Pride monsters, quests, and stores can be found globally.

## Markets

The Pride Event "Token Rewards" and "Crystal Store" markets can be found globally, and are run by Nabia and Etta respectively. The 2022 version of the markets featured both wearing Pride accents and holding Rainbow flags. Pride Event Wardrobe items from all years can be found at Pride Wardrobe, as well as by year on each festival page. In addition to their yearly pages, Pride House Items contains a multi-year list.

## Parade

In 2020, due to the cancellation of many in-person Pride events, the Pride Parade was introduced. Dust Warriors were able to share their avatars' pride outfits with the community in a digital parade, cheered on by several NPCs. Avatars could be updated as new wardrobe items were unlocked and styles changed.

The parade was formerly available as an external link, where observers could watch and invite others to watch regardless of whether they were logged in or even a registered Dust Warrior.

Dust Warriors participating in the virtual Pride Parade, cheered on by several valley residents.

The parade returned in 2021 and 2022, but didn't take place in 2023 due to incompatibility with the redesign. It is currently unknown whether it will return in the future.

## Monsters

The Pride Wignow appeared in every event, starting in 2018.

In 2019, the community participated in challenges to build a lighthouse and unlock the Pride monsters, finding Pride Awa and Pride Xin in addition to Pride Wignow.

2020 kicked off with two new monsters: Pride Sassi and Pride Nitana. Dust Warriors also competed in a global challenge to fight a rainbow of monsters, including Puna, Reenu, Sacer, Aracni, Lorsa, and Ardis. When that challenge was completed, the new Pride Unicorn was unlocked.

All six Pride monsters returned in 2021, though the Pride Unicorn was not revealed until a week into the event. At the end of the second week, the Pride Harka was unveiled. After the end of the event, the Pride Harka roosted in the Tall Trees; it is the only Pride monster currently available year round.

No changes were made to the lineup in 2022, with all seven monsters appearing.

In 2023, a new Co-Op Creature named Buefys was added to the event.

In addition to their standard drops, each monster dropped special event tokens every year after 2018. Starting in 2021, all event creatures dropped hunt tokens, including Pride Event creatures.
