It's that time again! The beloved woodland sprites will be returning once more to let us enjoy their shops and shenanigans high above the scenic jungle. The Midsummer Night's Festival will begin July 14 and continue until the 21st. The exact times will be announced once we are closer to to the actual opening date.
Over the next two weeks we'll be giving you a few teasers as to what you will find at the festival. We will, however, leave a majority of the teasers relating to the actual shops and merchandise up to the GMs releasing the shops. And there will be shops. Lots, and lots of shops. Over two dozen shops. A majority of the items that you will find at the festival are non-combat related, yet still useful.
Will there be raffles? Yes, there will be raffles! We have some really neat things we think will appeal to a wide audience.
Will there be merchants? Yes! Sprites and other merchants will be around, so get some ideas ready, just in case you happen upon the elusive GALD session!
We look forward to seeing you there (and potentially feeding you to the plant)!

Can merchant activity please be avoided at 9pm on the evening of the 21st? House Sovyn's 20th anniversary parade, raffles, and fishing event is that evening. |
Not to be rude, but I'd hate to miss out on possible merchants for an event I most likely will not attend.
Re: A Midsummer Night's Festival 4 on 07/02/2017 02:00 AM CDT
Can I make my usual plea for those of us outside the US and ask if we can possibly see some merchant activity earlier in the day please? I can't remember the last time I was able to make a GALD session as they all seem to be scheduled or announced after 8pm EST these days :(

Master doll maker Dubrin has decided to pull up stakes and leave Feywrot Mire. He has found his way to Mist Harbor and will be opening his shop, Small Stuff, as part of the upcoming festival. He offers fully customized dolls and accessories.
EXAMPLE:
You tap a Mazreth doll, which is in your right hand.
>look doll
You are holding a male GameMaster doll. He has balding golden brown hair. He has tired ale-brown eyes and olive skin. He has a pair of white-feathered wings protruding from his back and raised threateningly above his head. He is holding a tiny red Solo cup. He is wearing a small torn homework satchel, a tiny eahnor wyvern badge, a colored stars tattoo on his arm, a tiny shimmering crimson aqilorn shirt, a tiny, shiny gold Planeteer ring emblazoned with a tiny white wind symbol, some tiny stylish trousers and some elastic bands holding his shoes on.
OOC NOTES:
These dolls are super customizable. If you don't see the accessory you want, Dubrin can change it up for you. (alterable) Cases will also be available to hold all your accessories and dolls without further encumbering you. THESE DOLLS AND THEIR ACCESSORIES ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH DOLLS OBTAINED FROM DELIRIUM MANOR.

Merchants will be dropping by throughout the week at various times. While we try to work around anything that may be scheduled on the calendar, it may not always be possible, as we work when it is most convenient to our schedules.

You would sing a different tune if you were the one who spend months and several personal hours organizing the event. |
Probably not, I realize that different people find different things entertaining and I wouldn't want to possibly take something away from someone else in an attempt to make them to come to my event.
Re: A Midsummer Night's Festival 4 on 07/12/2017 03:40 PM CDT
The woodland sprites have finally decided to let us know when we will be allowed into their home! They will allow us entrance to their Circle of Trees at 6:00 PM Elven on Day of the Huntress (Friday, July 14th). Keep your eye out for a narrow pathway between two thick trees in the Moonsoon Jungle's Interior.

>> Will you be posting a schedule? :)
The path will be revealed in 15 minutes!
>>Was about to say, haven't seen any Raffle Teasers, so curious if there will be any/many, or if it'll be strictly services (which have been teased).
For raffles, I'll be setting out two (they'll be set out tonight and draw tonight and Sunday).
A lovely forehead gem
Climatewear added to an existing cloak with feature concealing hood

Are the boxes not supposed to work with the paper being sold near them?
>push parch
The fel stationery box is not suitable for use with your parchment.
You glance down to see a deep black fel stationery box traced with vaalin coils in your right hand and a piece of dog-eared parchment in your left hand.

Re: A Midsummer Night's Festival 4 on 07/15/2017 06:13 AM CDT
Is there any set schedules for you awesome folks and item unlocks? I am particularly excited to get my cloak and harness from gears of wear but my play time is not terribly flexible so if there is a schedule ahead of time I can try to set myself up as a bad dad but maybe a lucky barking wizard. If no set schedules are there in game messages in monster bold? This is my first premium event
Also from all the stores I went into Kudos! Some of the things aren't my style but that doesn't diminish how neat they are.

Thimbel's Sweatshop on 07/15/2017 04:34 PM CDT
I've never used the sweatshop before so I was pleasantly surprised at the offerings. I plan to make good use of the shop.
Having said that, I was a little disappointed when I realized you had to order both a pattern and a material to use it.
Is it possible to make only a pattern, or only a material available? Where the pattern would only change the first 15/-/- and the material would only change the second -/15/-.
It would be greatly appreciated.

>>Felthrop needs to change his mind. We already had a fluff thing in dm lets get at least one mechanical/weapon thing. I think i won unbalance flares last year from felthrop.
Felthrop is on a much needed hiatus and is spending his days sleeping off the last year's worth of headaches.
I didn't come back with enough time to get permissions for mechanical stuff for Felthrop to offer at the fest this year. Sorry!

Re: Thimbel's Sweatshop on 07/15/2017 05:24 PM CDT
There is a lot of complexity involved with the mechanics this shop uses. It wouldn't be a simple fix to change anything about this shop. At least for this festival, we won't be able to make any changes.

A schedule would be really cool. It's also one of my first premium events. I've found that the hours I do commit never seem to be at the correct times (so far)! It would be nice to have a chance to unlock some of the items I really enjoy, and not one from someone random I happen to cross paths with.
