2025 Summer Event: Pet, Item & Event Discussion

[Lacuna]

The whole mountain climb should be done now! If you missed any of it and want to read the story I’ve collected it here for everyone. 💜



Mountain - Fuji
Well, hello there, fellow adventurer! This is the base camp for an arduous climb. Are you sure you're ready for it? You don't look too tough, but then, neither do I! Luckily, I've been training for decades to build up my strength, and I can carry much more than you'd expect. A Ranger like me has to be ready for anything out here in the wilds! As you climb to higher camps along the way, I'll check in with you and make sure that you haven't keeled over. How's that sound?

Climbing from camp 1
You're feeling good as you start your trek—this can't be as bad as Fuji made it out to be! The path is smooth and clear ahead of you, with the trees at the edge of the Ethereal Forest still providing shade. The temperature isn't too hot, and you have plenty of provisions. As you continue on, you enjoy the scenery and take deep breaths of the crisp mountain air. Adventurers at the first camp flag you down and offer you a refreshing flagon of water, so you sit and chat for a few minutes before continuing on.

You're surprised to learn that the adventurers are new to this land, too. They don't have much memory of their past or where they came from, or even how they learned their adventuring skills! However, they are pleased to assist you in your trek when you explain Alethea's quest, and that Merlin is looking for answers about the magic in the realm.

Climbing from camp 2
The trees are beginning to thin, but you're still feeling optimistic about your journey. You've formed a traveling group with a few of the adventurers you met at the first camp, and they are worthy companions. One of them shows you how to identify different species of birds as you hear their calls. You're enjoying this game until you hear a new call, and the adventurer goes pale.

“That,” they whisper, quickly tying down anything on their saddle that clinks, “was a dragon. Hurry, the next camp is under cover!” You reach the camp and duck out of sight until you hear no more dragon calls. Some of your party argue that your whole point is to defeat the dragon, and that they were ready for a fight. The adventurers you've met seem much more wary of dragons than the Chicken Smoothians!

Climbing from camp 3
There are more bare cliff faces as you continue on, some hopeful to find a dragon, and others hopeful not to. You didn't even see it, but it certainly sounded big and powerful. The terrain is more difficult to traverse, and you must proceed with caution. You are starting to get a little out of breath!

Just as you breathe a hard-fought sigh of relief that things seem safe, one of your companions remarks that another is missing. You twist around, looking behind you, and notice that several are not present. Where did they go? There seems to be no trace of them, and nowhere to hide. You shiver as you hurry to the next camp and regroup, making sure no one else is lost.

Climbing from camp 4
No one has an answer to what has happened, but the group decides to continue on, hoping that there might be clues further ahead. Someone suggests that the Sorcerer Merlin is looking for could be behind the disappearances, but the Sorcerers in your group take offense to that, already feeling miffed that Merlin seems to have it out for them.

Amidst the bickering over who might be at fault, you fail to keep a good ear out. By the time you reach the next camp, several adventurers realize that their saddlebags have been cut, and their valuables stolen. “Rogues!” someone accuses, and everything devolves into another disagreement, despite the thin air making it hard to argue fervently.

Climbing from camp 5
The trek is certainly getting harder as you approach the summit! Some of the adventurers who joined you insist on turning back and looking for your lost companions, or just staying safe when they realize they don't have enough provisions to continue. However, you and a few intrepid mountaineers continue.

You can see pretty far, but besides the Ethereal Forest, the entire landscape appears to be covered in clouds. You stare into the white, puffy depths as you climb, trying to catch a glimpse of anything vaguely draconic. Finally, a shadow that looks very much like a giant wingspan catches your attention. You're not the only one, and as you look up into the sun's glare, you see the silhouette of a great beast and the arrows of your companions arcing toward it.

“Slay the dragon!” someone yells, but the arrows don't reach high enough, and you hear what sounds like a rumble of thunder as the dragon disappears back into the clouds. Frustratingly, there was too much glare to tell what color it was or any other identifying features. When you reach the next camp, the adventurers are working together again, bolstered by the glimpse of their foe.

Climbing from camp 6
You're nearing the final stretch, and you're feeling accomplished. One of your party is always on watch, trying to catch a glimpse of the dragon while everyone else helps each other over rocky, steep terrain. You nearly crash to a halt when your scout calls out that they see something. Are those… sparkles? The clouds ahead of you seem magically enhanced, and you try to take a deep breath to center yourself. Perhaps the Sorcerer you are hunting is up ahead after all, trying to make your mind play tricks on you! Everyone decides that they need to rest at the final camp before they reach the summit and perhaps encounter a battle.

We made it!
You can see it, just ahead, the summit! At the top of the mountain, rocks have been deliberately arranged into cairns and arches, as if for some magical spell or ritual. After watching stealthily for a few minutes, one member of your group calls out, “En garde!” and fires off a spell into the area. When no one reacts, you figure it's safe enough to explore. No sorcerer, or dragon for that matter, materializes from the trees and stones, but you do see that your guess about magic was likely correct, as runes and other carvings litter the rock. You take rubbings of them and do your best to copy the position of everything down so you can show it to Merlin.

Proud of your achievements, you and your adventuring party break out your rations and enjoy the view from the summit, even if it's just clouds. Though you stay for most of the afternoon, no one else materializes, and the sparkles you saw don't change. Maybe there's something beyond the clouds, and you just need to find a way to clear them? Eventually, you decide to hike back down the mountain, feeling stronger and more capable for the next time you encounter the dragon.

Whats the hardest pets to get right now?

That bard lemur probably.
Maybe the tavern pets, the jousting horses, and the druid kitten too.

[takara]

hmmm... these clouds seem reather suspicious....
i wonder if they were set up by a sorcerer or something? is that something sorcerers can do in this lore?

Whats the hardest pets to get right now?

As of this moment, my personal opinion would be the tavern banner pets because it's just pure rng. I think most people have already gotten their jousting horses but I thought those were a bit difficult too, again because of the rng and my luck can be pretty bad.

I haven't had much trouble swapping for outcomes so far. I did get the PPS cat from the token exchange (3 of them out of 6 tries actually lol) but I saw a good few people trying to swap for it in trading threads last night, and I noticed when the potion eggs came out that a lot of people seemed to be missing the pink one.

None of that is to definitively say those outcomes are rarer, it's just what I've noticed in the moments. When rollover happens and hype is high, it always throws of the perception of what's actually harder to get. XD

Is it just me or has anyone else gotten like nothing but salami in the tavern food pull

Yeah I was thinking the tavern pets would be and the lava dragon. I've gotten like 3 of the druid kittens while trying to get the adults. I also agree the jousting horses took awhile. I'm just trying to figure out what ones I should hold back on for now.

Does anyone know how to find where I can get the new drink cup animals in the event?

click the banner in the tavern! you have a chance of getting a food token, or a drink cup animal!

Thank you

[pastry flakes]

todays pets are definitely my favourites so far, I've been looking forward to more nature-esque/mystical themes, and I think with the forest opening up and the adventure and lore truly starting I'm going to start really enjoying the event. the foresty Malk Cats are super lovely and im a very big fan of this horse! my favourite of the event so far

[Jeepher97]

Omg as a dragon lover I'm obsessed with these????
No idea if this is all the outcomes or not but wow I'm starstruck!!
