Anniversary Ceremony

March 28, 2023 - April 10, 2023 (Year 3)

**Anniversary Ceremony** is an event celebrating the anniversary of the game. This event brings in many event exclusive items, which includes outfit sets, chat decorations, partners, a confidant, a scenery set, and more others.

The event is divided into two parts: Royal Garden Tour and Grand Palace Ceremony. In the event, players can play different mini-games where they can earn event points, which then can be spent by exchanging in the point shop for items. It is to note that points obtained from each part **cannot** be used inside the other, and the points obtained from the first part **will not** roll over to the next part.

## Part 1: Royal Garden Tour

**Royal Garden Tour** is the first part of the event and lasts for 7 days. In here, players can choose from three different mini-games to play, where they can earn event points from. Games playable are: *"Spot the Differences"*, *"Horse Racing"*, and *"Fun of Fishing"*.

### Discern the Difference

In this mini-game, the player must find a set of 5 differences between two similar looking pictures under a time frame of 1 minute and 30 seconds. If time has ran out, a player can pay 5 ingots for extra 30 seconds of time.

3 free rounds are given to players each day. Extra participation times cannot be bought.

A maximum of 100 points can be earned each round.

### Horse Racing

Also called *"Luxury Life".* In this mini-game, the player races with 2 NPCs, where they all race to the finish line as obstacles appear along the path. Flags will appear on the track which must be collected to receive the most points possible, with each flag being 5 points worth.

A set of three buttons are present at the bottom of the interface to control the player's character. These buttons and their functions are:

• Lean over - to duck under vertical bars

• Leap - to jump over rocks

• Horse whip - to boost speed temporarily

Points are earned in accordance to the finishing place of the player at the end of the race, along with the total collected of flags collected. Below is a table of the highest amount of points that can be earned in each round.

1 free round is given to a player each day and afterwards, each round will cost 200 ingots, with a maximum participation times of 10, for a total of 11 playable rounds each day.

### Fun of Fishing

In this mini-game, a player can fish at different zones to earn points. Each zone contains various species of fish that rewards different amount of points. Below is table of the fish found in each zone and their value in points.

**Sparse Grass zone**
 Freshwater Mussel
 Grass Carp
 Turtle

**Shallow Waters zone**
 Crucian Carp
 Perch
 Eel

**Deepwater zone**
 Snakehead
 Arowana
 Lucky Koi

**Abundant Grass zone**
 Hairy Crab
 Flatfish
 Flathead Fish

To play the game, a player must press the "Hold and Cast" button under the screen, then press the "Retract" button once the strength gauge (at the side of the screen) reaches the desired area (zone).

There are two options available:

• Fishing with Rod - 1 chance given to a player every 6 hours for a total of 5 each day. Additional play times costs 50 ingots.

• Fishing with Net - costs 500 ingots, equivalent to 10 times of "Fishing with Rod".

There is no limit to extra participation times.

## Part 2: Grand Palace Ceremony

**Grand Palace Ceremony** is the second part of the event. Like the previous part, players can choose from 3 mini-games which are now different from the previous part. The games playable are: *"Memorize Card Pairs"*, *"Graceful Dance"*, and *"Grand Fireworks"*.

### Memorize Card in Pairs

Basically a memory card game. In this mini-game, a set of 8 pairs of cards faced down are shown and 24 moves are given to the player.

Clicking on a card shows its face then the player should click another another card to show its face. If both cards are the same, they will remain faced up and the player will be given 10 points. If they're different, the cards will face back down and a player will only be given 5 points. The player must keep doing it until all cards are faced up, then the game will end. If a player runs out of moves, they can purchase another 2 moves for 5 ingots, or 6 moves for 30 ingots.

Pointing system corresponds to the outcome of the moves used, and the amount of ingots spent. Oddly, the less moves are used, the less points are earned. This means if a player completes the game with only 18 moves used, they'll earn 80 points (all cards cleared with only one try, which is very unlikely to happen), and with 20 moves (only 1 mistake), they'll earn 85 points and so on.

Most amount of points that can be earned (without spending ingots) is 110.

The player is given 3 free rounds each day. Extra participation times cannot be bought.

### Graceful Dance

In this mini-game, the player must tap on notes (arrows) falling from the top of the screen right in front of the click area, which appears as a set of buttons in the form of black arrows.

Each tapped note will be rated based on the player's accuracy, which affects the final score. Notes are rated in 3 ways: "*Ordinary*", which gives the lowest points; "*Excellent*", gives the average amount; and "*Perfect*", which gives the most. Missed notes won't give any points.

Another aspect of the mini-game which affects the final score is the combo. The combo is the total number of notes consecutively hit. The combo acts as a score bonus which gives more and more additional points as the combo gets higher as well. Missing a note will break the combo thus resetting the score bonus back to its base. The max combo is 60, which is the constant number of notes for every round.

After the round, the player's score will be divided to 3, and the outcome will be the earned event points. The formula is shown as: (Score ÷ 3 = Earned points). Decimals will be rounded of by front-end estimation. The highest possible amount of points earned is 300, by getting a perfect score of 900.

1 free round is given to the player each day and afterwards, each round costs 200 ingots, with a maximum participation times of 10, for a total of 11 playable rounds each day.

### Grand Fireworks

Similar to the "Scare Nian away with firecrackers" mini-game from the Monster Nian Invasion event, this mini-game involves throwing fireworks at a line track.

Throwing the firecrackers anywhere at the track will give 50 points, but landing it on a spot with the pulsating halo will give 60 points.

1 free chance is given to a player every 6 hours for a total of 5 free chances per day. Additional participation times can be bought for 50 ingots without any limit.

## Anniversary Quests

Anniversary Quests are a set of daily quests players can finish by completing the objectives of each challenge. Also, players will be able to obtain the event exclusive Pink Lovebirds costume set in this sub-event.

Players will be given 10 quest points for each one quest cleared. Daily rewards are also given for every 30 points earned, with 120 points being the maximum, done from completing all 12 quests.

Below is a table of each quest and their requirements to be completed.

Once accumulated quest points reaches a certain threshold, a piece of the Pink Lovebirds costume set will be given to the player.

Below is a table showing each piece of the set and their required amount of points to be obtained.

 Pink Horizontal Flag Suit | 1500

Unobtained pieces of the set may still be bought from the Grand Palace Ceremony point shop.

## Anniversary Sign-in

Anniversary Sign-in is a daily login calendar where players can obtain various rewards by signing-in the event each day. Players can obtain all rewards by completing all days consecutively. Missing a day will break the streak and the player will lose the chance to obtain the rewards from the final days of the sign-in event.

The event exclusive chatbox skin and avatar frame can be obtained in the sign-in event for free. Below is a table of the contents of the sign-in event, such as their rewards and their description.

## Point Shop

These are the contents of the two different point shops from each part of the event. The two point slightly differ from their stock of available items.
