Welcome to the Year of Lumen!
As Umbra's year comes to a close, a ray of light and all things shiny appears and the isle of Ortus begins to celebrate the Year of Lumen!
Years before the brave horses of the island conquered a dangerous, winding cavern filled with spoils previously unseen. Lumen would not dare to lead you into the depths of the underground and instead has chosen a sprawling and wild garden maze as your test. She does not send you in alone! As you explore, you will find Fireflies joining you on your journey, illuminating your war and guiding you the exit. If you make it to the end, you keep all your earned Fireflies plus a little bonus to celebrate. If you are worried that you might be lost, call for help and leave at any time and keep what you've earned.
As with out other monthly events, there is a limit of 30 Fireflies found per day which can be exchanged in all the same ways as normal. The Event Shop should be updated to reflect this and Lumen's shop has a handful of goodies that you won't want to miss. Bluebirds have made it to the island and are anxious to join your characters. In addition, two new shades of Tinguo have been added, shiny Alba and Persicas options for some golden fun. Some other shimmering genes have found their way into the shop as well. Keep your eyes peeled though. More fun things might just turn up when you least expect it!
As you explore Lumen's maze, you'll be able to find an assortment of flowers and leaves within. We've gone in and added additional uses to a variety of items to increase their overall utility. New uses include:
Ivy - Add 100 skill point progress to be spent the same way a level up via the Allocate page.
Trumpet Tree Leaves - Earn +1 minute of faster AP generation
Pink Hibiscus - Adds disease immunity for the new 15 minutes that will prevent your character from catching any sickness via explore. But be careful! Eating too many per day could make your character regret some decisions.
Pitanga - Offers 1 hour of protection from the pesky predators that like to snack on lone horses.
Tragematum Plants - Gives an increased chance to fight predators in a battle for 15 minutes to try and score some nifty scars.
Small Branch - Repurposed to increase the security of the active character.
Yerba Mate - Earn more regimen progress when doing any activity that would normally give it.
Lumen's Glowing Light
This item is used to help a faction gain double the experience for 24 hours. It'll be found in Lumen's Shop as well as the Chrysos shop like normal.
And finally, as promised, I'll be turning on sale status for everyone to stock up and treat themselves. Enjoy, guys!
