The Full Moon Party hasn't stopped yet! Two new mini-games have arrived to challenge your reflexes and strategic planning, as you play a cunning game of potion stacking in Potion Pyramid, and dodge a simply obscene number of energy blasts in Wisp Wallop!
Potion Pyramid
PST (UTC -8): Tuesday, February 23, 2021 4:00 PM - Tuesday, March 9, 2021 3:59 PM
CET (UTC +1): Wednesday, February 24, 2021 1:00 AM - Wednesday, March 10, 2021 12:59 AM
AEDT (UTC +11): Wednesday, February 24, 2021 11:00 AM - Wednesday, March 10, 2021 10:59 AM
Event Details:
Strategically stack potions in the shape of a pyramid against other players!
Requirements: Lv. 101 and above (Zero characters must have completed up to Chapter 2). Your character must also have completed the introductory "[Full Moon Party] You Are Cordially Invited" quest.
Talk to Ephony the Fairy located in the Full Moon Party Venue map to queue up for a Potion Pyramid match against two other players.
There are a total of 36 potions given out in each turn, with 12 of them distributed randomly to each player: 7 potions of each of 5 types, and one special potion.
Potions can be placed on the bottom row or on top of two other potions, if one of the potions is of the same type. Placing a potion earns you 10 points.
The Special Potion can be placed on top of any potion, and potions cannot be placed upon it.
Each player places a potion, one at a time. If a player cannot legally place a potion, their turn is skipped, and the next player may place one.
You have only 10 seconds to place a potion. If you fail to do so, Ephony the Fairy will make a move for you and you will earn 0 points for the move.
If you miss your turn 3 times, you will forfeit the match, receive no rewards, and will not be allowed to join a new match for 15 minutes.
The round ends when a player has placed all of their potions into the pyramid, or when there are no remaining legal moves (due to no players being able to place any potions).
Each match of Potion Pyramid consists of 3 rounds, with prizes awarded to players based on their ranking (which is determined by the number of points each player earned):
1st Place: 40 Cotton Candy
2nd Place: 20 Cotton Candy
3rd Place: 10 Cotton Candy
Tiebreaker: If two players have the same number of points at the end of the match, the player who reached their final point total first will place higher.
You can receive up to 100 Cotton Candy across all events each day. If you reach your Cotton Candy limit for the day, you can still participate in the game, but will not receive any Cotton Candy.
Wisp Wallop
PST (UTC -8): Tuesday, February 23, 2021 4:00 PM - Tuesday, March 9, 2021 3:59 PM
CET (UTC +1): Wednesday, February 24, 2021 1:00 AM - Wednesday, March 10, 2021 12:59 AM
AEDT (UTC +11): Wednesday, February 24, 2021 11:00 AM - Wednesday, March 10, 2021 10:59 AM
Fly around avoiding incoming missiles while collecting candies!
Requirements: Lv. 101 and above (Zero characters must have completed up to Chapter 2). Your character must also have completed the introductory "[Full Moon Party] You Are Cordially Invited" quest.
You can accept the invitation quest every hour on the 15-minute and the 45-minute mark from the invitation that appears on top of your character.
There are a total of 3 stages. There must be a minimum of 10 participants for the game to start (up to 50 players may play per round).
The goal of this game is to successfully avoid attacks and obtain as many candies as possible within the time limit to earn Cotton Candy.
When you are hit by an attack, you will briefly become unable to move or catch any candy. Once you are able to move again, you will have a few seconds of invulnerability for you to get to safety (and maybe grab some candy along the way!).
Not all candy is worth the same! The bigger the piece, the sweeter the reward, and once a piece of candy is caught by a player, no one else can grab it!
When each stage ends, Cotton Candy will be distributed based on your ranking:
1st Place: 50 Cotton Candy
2nd - 10th Place: 30 Cotton Candy
11th - 20th Place: 20 Cotton Candy
21st - 30th Place: 15 Cotton Candy
31st - 50th Place: 10 Cotton Candy
You can receive up to 100 Cotton Candy across all events each day. If you reach your Cotton Candy limit for the day, you can still participate in the game but no longer obtain Cotton Candy.
You cannot earn the rewards if you leave during the game.
Rankings reset after every stage, and the challenge of dodging the attacks gets harder as well!
