Challenge Events Refreshed
Challenge Events like Science of Love and Pioneer Scout’s Uncharted Lands have been a great way to gather the community together to earn some fun rewards.
As they were, we felt that these events were easy for players to miss, which resulted in a lot of people missing out on unique rewards. We also saw that the system for unlocking the rewards created confusion whenever a new event kicked off.
We’re refreshing Challenge Events to make it easier to know when one is happening but also make it more straightforward to obtain the rewards. From here on out, Challenge Events are now called Mini Seasons and you’ll be able to find the latest one right next to the current Season within the Seasons menu.
Season Tickets are used to claim the rewards in a Mini Season. Completing all the Event Challenges will give you enough tickets to unlock everything, but if you have enough tickets when a Mini Season starts you can unlock all the rewards immediately. Just make sure you complete the Mini Season challenges to get your tickets back if your goal is to unlock all the rewards in the main season.
Outside of the changes noted above, the Mini Season experience remains very similar to the Challenge Events you know. Things kick off with a free reward (now obtainable through the Mini Season instead of the Atomic Shop) and a challenge that requires you to wear that reward to complete it. After that, you complete Mini Season Challenges to obtain more Season Tickets to unlock the rest of the rewards.
The first Mini Season starts today with the Appalachian Outlaws.
Check out this article on it for a look at what rewards await you.
The Big Bloom – Starting April 29
Spring is here!
Meet Black-Eyed Susan. She loves flowers, floral arrangements, and she may have a penchant for violence. Right now, she needs your help with her latest project.
Black-Eyed Susan’s favorite meadow has been overtaken by strange, plant-like beasts called Overgrown. They’re making the area too dangerous for her to pick flowers. So, she needs you to head into the meadow, pick some flowers and defeat those monsters.
After gathering flowers and dealing with the Overgrown threat with some explosive flair, Susan’s archnemesis will appear! Bee-zlebub. The King Bee. Defeat him and claim your rewards!
Do watch out for the mines though. They’re the remnants of her previous attempt to get those persistent beasts out of her meadow.
