Summer Solstice Festival
It’s summertime and nothing represents this season better than the Summer Solstice Festival in Helios.
​

​

It is summertime in Dracania and everyone is working hard to prepare for the upcoming Summer Solstice Festival. But Phestos, the organizer of the festival and Sir Hardy need your help. Some Impulsive Satyrs, Rioting Cyclops, and Stomping Stone Golems are interfering with the preparations on Kalodoro, the place of the festival.​

You have to help Sir Hardy to clean the area from these troublemakers.​

The event itself is divided into two parts – the preparation and the festival. Sir Hardy and Phestos offer several quests during the preparation time. Complete them to earn Insignias of Helpfulness to fill your progress bar and earn Solar Coins – the main currency during the Summer Solstice Festival.​

Important Items​

	Insignias of Helpfulness are the progress item of this event. Collect them by completing the quests offered by Phestos and Sir Hardy.
	Solar Coins are the main currency needed to buy items from the traders on Kalodoro during the festival. You earn them during the preparation time as progress bar rewards or as rewards from one of the mini-games during the actual festival.
	Summer Solstice Tokens are needed to open the special chests in Kalodoro during the festival that contain the Melon Pug and the Summer Solstice Horse. They can be found on different occasions during the festival preparation and the actual event – there are 26 tokens available during the event – can you get them all?
	The colored powder is needed to complete the Stolen Colors quest, offered by Phestos.
	Mini-game tickets are needed to enter the three minigame locations. You can get them from every trader on Kalodoro for Andermant or Coins. There is also a chance to get a mini-game ticket from the fishing game.
	Fishing Rods are needed to use the Fishing Vats. You can get them from every trader on Kalodoro for Andermant or Coins. There is also a chance to get fishing rods as a reward from the three other minigames.

Summer Solstice Festival Attire

Bonus while active: 100% increased Colored Powder drop stack size Chance to get a Ferry Ticket drop from worthy bosses You can earn Insignias of Helpfulness during the festival's mini-games to complete the festival progress bar Duration: 2d 0h 0m 0s

Summer Festival Preparation

Q: How do I collect Insignias of Helpfulness?
A: Accept the quests offered by Phestos and Sir Hardy in Kingshill. Note that the quests provided by Sir Hardy are daily quests and can only be finished once per day. There is only one daily quest available from the beginning of the event – two more can be unlocked by delivering the Apprentice Helper Badge and the Approved Helper Badge to Phestos

Q: Where do I get Ferry Tickets?
A: Ferry Ticket can be obtained from worthy enemies everywhere in Dracania. You can also use the Summer Solstice Festival Attire to get a chance of a Ferry Ticket drop from worthy bosses as well.

Q: Where do I get Colored Powder?
A: Colored Powder can drop from worthy opponents everywhere in Dracania, but the chance to get it from the enemies on Kalodoro is even higher.

Q: I have an unequal amount of colored Powder, and just one color is missing to complete the quest, what should I do?
A: You might not have noticed it, but as long as you have the Stolen Colors quest active that Phestos is offering, there is a unique recipe active at the workbench. There you can change the color of the Powder you already have collected. All you need is the Powder in the color of your choice and a specific dye.

Q: I have finished the progress bar already, what should I do now?
A: One essential part of the event is to collect all Summer Solstice Tokens. They will be needed during the actual festival to get the Melon Pug and the Summer Solstice Horse. Now that you have finished the progress bar, you might have collected at least one token already. But there are more hidden. Are you sure you have found them already? Note that there are a few Summer Solstice Tokens that can only be found during the preparation phase of the festival.

Summer Solstice Festival

The preparation is done, now its time for the festival to start. Enter Kalodoro again and hang out with your friends. Play some mini-games and invest your earned Solar Coins in some useful items offered by the various traders on Kalodoro.

Q: I don’t have enough Solar Coins. How to get more?
A: There are four different mini-games available during the festival. All of them grant you Solar Coins as rewards.

Q: Where do I get mini-game tickets or Fishing rods?
A: Every trader on Kalodoro offers the mini-game tickets or Fishing rods for Andermant but also for coins (limited to 20 per day). There is also a chance to get mini-game tickets from the fishing mini-game and Fishing rods from the other three mini-games.

Q: Where do I get the unique equipment?
A: Each of the four minigames offers another set of unique items as special rewards.

Q: So, where do I get the Melon Pug and the Summer Solstice Horse now?
A: There are two special chests placed in the north of Kalodoro. Use your Summer Solstice Tokens to open them.
​

​

Q: I have no clue how to get the Insignias of Helpfulness during the actual festival.
A: You get the Insignias during the festival from the mini-games if you wear the Summer Solstice Festival Attire. If you don’t want to use the attire, you can also buy the Helper’s Bundle offered by the traders on Kalodoro. This bundle contains 500x Insignias of Helpfulness.

The Fishing Game
​

​

Use a fishing rod to earn various rewards, like dyes, Solar Coins or even parts of the unique equipment.

The Underground Chamber
​

​

In this mini-game, you have to choose the chests you want to open by clicking on the plates. If you choose a wrong plate, all chests will disappear and the game is over. If you have chosen all the chests you want to open without clicking on a wrong plate, you can lock your decision by activating the brazier at the entry of the chamber. After that, you can open all the chosen chests and take the rewards.

Meanie Rumble
​

​

In this mini-game you have to defeat as many meanies as possible until your time runs out. The more meanies you defeat, the more reward chests will be unlocked after the time is up.​

Arena of Endurance
​

​

In this mini-game you have to survive as long as you can. You cannot use your skills in there and the longer the game goes the more enemies or traps will spawn.​

Don’t worry, you cannot die in there – but the game ends if your health points drop to 0. Depending on how long you were able to survive you will get up to 7 reward chests.​
