Guide The Festival of the Heroes 2023 Guide

Another festival out of the blue. At least this time I've managed to procrastinate my weeklys to get an extra T2 crate...


Aster

Spoiler: First Encounter

[1/7] Aster: Yes, yes, set that up over- no, not like that! Good grief, just... Just leave it, I'll handle it...- Oh, hello! You must be here for the festival!
[2/7] Aster: Ahem. My apologies for that. Welcome to the Festival of the Heroes! A now annual event put on to celebrate the great heroes of our land!
[3/7] Aster: We have numerous performances schedule for the next few weeks, as well as a special event featuring an important guest later on! Be sure not to miss it.
[4/7] Aster: Ah, but if you're looking for something to do in the meantime, might I suggest visiting the carnival area? We have plenty of similar games set up over there.
[5/7] Aster: Or, perhaps, you'd be willing to participate in the Scavenger Hunt? Every day, a new cache will be hidden somewhere in the world, ready to be found!
[6/7] Aster: Oh, and of course, most exciting of all... If you take the Event Airship, you'll be able to compete with others in a brand new game we're hosting!
[7/7] Aster: ...Right, well, I'll leave it there! I wouldn't want to keep you from enjoying the festivities. If you need anything, I'll be here in the town square!

Spoiler: Dialogue

[1/1] Aster: Hello, hello! It's good to see you again. Anything I can help you with?

Spoiler: [1] Could you tell me what there is to do here again?

[1/7] Aster: Well, sure! I'm always happy to talk about the festivities. Let's see...
[2/7] Aster: First of all, there are the various Performances! Those will be happening regularly throughout the course of this event.
[3/7] Aster: Additionally, we'll be hosting a special event featuring an important guest later on! Be sure not to miss it.
[4/7] Aster: Then, there's the Carnival Area, which is full of various smaller games you can play to earn Festival Coins! Those can be spent on various prizes.
[5/7] Aster: There's the Scavenger Hunt, of course... Every day, a new cache will be hidden somewhere in the world, ready for you to track it down!
[6/7] Aster: And, finally, there's the minigame! You can take the Event Airship to travel to it, and play to earn exclusive rewards!
[7/7] Aster: ...I believe that's all. I hope I could be of use!

Spoiler: [2] Can you tell me more about the festival?

[1/4] Aster: Of course! Well, as it so happens, I'm the founder and organizer of the Festival of the Heroes!
[2/4] Aster: ...I'll admit, I've always had fond memories of the yearly festivals hosted by Detlas. There was always something to celebrate here, and... well, I suppose I needed that in my life, after a point.
[3/4] Aster: And so, when I had the idea to celebrate the great heroes of this world, I thought there would be no better way to repay those memories than by hosting a festival of my own!
[4/4] Aster: I came to Detlas' council with my proposal, and they agreed to allow me to organize this event. And so, here we are now!

Spoiler: [3] Which heroes are you celebrating here?

[1/7] Aster: Oh, well, all of them, I suppose! But, ah, we have put a focus on a distinct few. To keep things simpler for myself to keep track of.
[1/7] Aster: We're celebrating the exploits of Bob, Wynn's beloved protector; Tisaun, famed for his defense of Troms; and Siegfried, known all across Gavel for his generosity!
[1/7] Aster: ...We, ehm, received a few other submissions for heroes to celebrate. Something about an Admiral Aegis? And, of course, someone who requested for us to speak on General Skien of all people...
[1/7] Aster: But! We settled on these three for simplicity's sake.

So... essentially, we will get the same dialogue as last year? I made a guide for that too, so feel free to check that out, assuming this event recycles last year's event.

Spoiler: [4] Just wanted to say hello.

[1/1] Aster: Well, hello! It's always nice to have a passing conversation.

Festival Workers

Spoiler: Performances Festival Worker

[1/1] Festival Worker: Hm... Oh! Hello. How can I help you today?

Spoiler: [1] What are performances?

[1/4] Festival Worker: Well, as it so happens, they're rather simple.
[2/4] Festival Worker: If you're here in the center of Detlas when the timer reaches zero, you'll get the boost.
[3/4] Festival Worker: Performances will grant different boosts each time, rotating through eight options.
[4/4] Festival Worker: Boosts include XP Bonus, Mobility Boosts, Loot Bonus, Gathering XP Bonus, Damage Bonus, Gathering Speed, Loot Quality, and Elemental Damage Bonus.

So that's the cycle. I learned from last year that they state the cycle of boosts in order.

Spoiler: [2] How does the player boost work?

[1/2] Festival Worker: If you attend a performance, You'll be granted a token for a specific boost. This token can be used at will to grant you the boost for 40 minutes.
[2/2] Festival Worker: However, a boost token can only be used within 24 hours of the performance from which it was earned. Make sure you remember to use it!

Alright. So instead of it being locked to one class, you get a token that can be used in any class? Cool.

Edit : So, turns out, no, it is still locked to the class it it received by, but at least we can now set the terms on when we want it active.

Spoiler: [3] Can you tell me about the special event?

[1/2] Festival Worker: Oh, yes, the special event. There's not too much I can tell you about it without ruining the surprise.
[2/2] Festival Worker: It will work the same way as a regular performance, so be sure to be here before the event starts!

This is entirely new in this year's festival. I'll update this either here or on a separate guide regarding timed events.

Spoiler: [4] I don't need anything.

[1/1] Festival Worker: Alright. See you.

Spoiler: Scavenger Hunt Festival Worker

Spoiler: Tutorial Encounter

This is the starting point of the Scavenger Hunt.

1) Talk to the Scavenger Hunt Festival Worker

Spoiler: Dialogue

[1/5] Festival Worker: Hello! Here for the Scavenger Hunt, then? Here, one moment, I can get you set up to begin...
[2/5] Festival Worker: So, here's how this is going to work. Every day, we'll have a new location available to find.
[3/5] Festival Worker: If you speak to me, you'll be able to view a list of all available locations. When you pick one, you'll be given an image which displays the chosen location.
[4/5] Festival Worker: Bring the image to the location, and you'll be rewarded with unique items.
[5/5] Festival Worker: Here, let's start with an easy one. Select the first location, track it down, and then return to me once you've done so!

At the end of the dialogue, you will be prompted with a GUI screen. Here, a red circle will be highlighted to indicate the first location of the hunt



Once you have clicked on the highlighted icon, you will be given an image of the area where you need to go.



Exiting the GUI after this will prompt the Festival Worker to give you one last bit of dialogue.

[1/1] Festival Worker: Well, there you have it! Just travel to the location displayed by the image, claim the cache, and return to me.

Spoiler: If you talk to him again...

[1/1] Festival Worker: Oh, welcome back! Ready to start the Scavenger Hunt?

[1/1] Festival Worker: Well, there you have it! Just travel to the location displayed by the image, claim the cache, and return to me.

2) Find the location of the Scavenger Hunt Cache

3) Get back to the Scavenger Hunt Festival Worker and talk to him again.

Spoiler: Dialogue

[1/3] Festival Worker: So you've found the location? Well done! That's how the Scavenger Hunt will work.
[2/3] Festival Worker: Now, before I let you go get to it... One more thing. Claiming the first cache means you're eligible for the first reward!
[3/3] Festival Worker: Here, I'll open the rewards list for you. Just click the reward's button, and you'll get the item!

You will be sent to another GUI for the rewards section. Here, you can select the highlighted icon to claim your prize.



Exiting the GUI will prompt the festival worker to send you one last bit of dialogue.

[1/1] Festival Worker: And that's all there is to it! Here, I'll let you get to searching for now. Just talk to me again, and I can open up the list for you.

Spoiler: If you talk to him again, without leaving...

[1/1] Festival Worker: Oh, there you are. Here, I'll open the rewards list for you. Just click the reward's button, and you'll get the item!

You will be sent to another GUI for the rewards section. Here, you can select the highlighted icon to claim your prize.

Spoiler: Dialogue

[1/1] Festival Worker: Hello there! Here for the Scavenger Hunt?

Spoiler: [1] I'd like to view the available locations.

A GUI of the Locations menu will be displayed.

Spoiler: [2] Can I see the rewards?

A GUI of the Rewards menu will be displayed.

Spoiler: [3] How does the Scavenger Hunt work again?

[1/6] Festival Worker: Sure thing! So, for each available cache, you'll get an image which displays the location.
[2/6] Festival Worker: Travel to that location with the image on hand, and you'll be able to claim the cache!
[3/6] Festival Worker: Additionally, there are three types of locations: Daily, Weekly, and Bonus.
[4/6] Festival Worker: Daily locations become available each day, and weekly locations become available in sets of three each weekend.
[5/6] Festival Worker: Bonus locations are unlocked after claiming enough regular caches. They're far more challenging than Daily and weekly locations!
[6/6] Festival Worker: After claiming caches, regular or bonus, you'll be eligible for unique rewards.

Spoiler: [4] Just here to look at the map on the wall.

[1/1] Festival Worker: Oh, alright!

The Claim to Heroism




Scavenger Hunt

This year's Scavenger Hunt is a little different than last year's. For instance, this one gives out rewards PER ACCOUNT, not per class like last year. This one also involves new mechanics such as Weekly Locations and Bonus Locations.

TBD (-1946, 6, -4846)

bunp for more dialogue soon

 

bump goood thread

 

what are bomus caches?

 

strange creature plushie

 

+rep



(10 characters aaaaaaaaaaa)

 

I think it has to do with the map behind the festival worker. That map is of a place at the edge of the ocean behind Corkus, around -2200, 2900. However, I could not find a treasure there, but it's a quite large area to search in

 

The bonus locations unlock when you get a certain number of locations for the Scavenger Hunt. Also, I think the map is only for decoration purposes only.

 

Where's the day 2 scavenger hunt?

 

Above UC dungeon

234 48 -1969

 

how do you get to the weekly 1?

 

Can anyone help with the weekly clues? Those could be anywhere on the map!

 

The first weekly is in a watchtower north of deltas, in the direction of pirate bay, the second one is within the big ship crashed into the side of pirate bay, and the last one is on the second level of the troms castle

 

I found the one in the watchtower. Thank you for the 2nd!!

________________________________

I had the first and third clues. I found the tower and now Troms castle. I never would have thought of the castle for that clue!

 

It's inside the ship, head for the lower deck (toward the ocean), and away from the ocean is a door into it. turn left and the cache is on the captains desk

 

I actually found that one first. I was looking for the table and chairs on the ship but finally found them in Troms with Mrkranky's help :)

 

day 4's on half-moon island

 

you should split weekly locations into their own spoilers, imo, instead of keeping them in day 2

 

Alright, consider it done

 

In case you haven’t found it, the scavenger hunt day 7 is at the following coords:
