Welcome to the Sylvan Hunt!

Each year, the Druaesi host a special, sacred event to honor the forest spirits and the coming of spring.
Trees come into flowering bloom, food becomes plentiful, and the forest itself wakes from it's wintery slumber.
The Druaesi honor this event with a celebration including games, offering, and the event's title, the Sylvan Hunt.

A race through the trees to catch the elusive and clever Moinir, a glowing, mystical rabbit-like being that enhances the forest's growth wherever it hops. 
Enivi are urged to chase this spirit (it's all in good fun!), and if they can catch it, Moinir is said to bestow great blessings and rewards. 
Let's take a closer look at the event!

Gardening

As any Ortusi will tell you, the first stage in spring is to start your first plot!
What's that? You've never farmed or gardened before? Well, lucky for you the Druaesi are avid collectors of seeds. 
Claim your first plot for free here and get started today.
Additional plots cost 10 Star Shards, and each can be tended to every 24 hours.

As you care for your plants they'll grow! Different plants grow at different speeds, and some drop more than others. 
Using fertilizer or watering your plants can help them grow faster.
Once they're grown, you'll be able to harvest your crops and use them in crafting.

You can buy everything you'll need to get started from Sophie's Shoppe!

Crafting

With the new gardening feature we've also introduced some new crafting recipes.

You can now craft Accessory Dye to change the color of your accessories.
Some dyes can be created strictly from plants you've grown or found, while others need a combination of two dyes. 
All these recipes are currently unlocked for all players, but more secret colors will be available in the future.

You can find the full guide for Accessory Dye, how to make it, and how it can be used here!

The Sylvan Hunt

The Sylvan Hunt itself is a large event that will be portioned out through the month.
First, be sure to be on the lookout for Moinir, a glowing rabbit-like spirit that travels through the wood. Follow the tracks and collect evidence of this spirit to finally try to catch them.
Moinir can grant many blessings and rewards, from seeds for your garden to one of their own kin, the Moini. 

Good luck and happy "hunting"!

Other prompts will start to roll out through the month (beginning today), including games and prompt lines that can reward you with your own Druaesi MYO.

We've also heard that if we collect enough Acorns we may be able to lure Moinir out of hiding!
Check out our Acorn tracker on our event page here!

Skip a Prompt

You can now find Prompt Skip tokens in The Hidden Cove!
These items allow you to skip a single prompt in a prompt or story line to move on to the next.
The rewards and effects are different depending on the type of Prompt Skip you use, so be sure to read them over before you buy one!

New Accessories

We're introducing some new accessories that may help you survive your time in the Dark Forest.

Long Swords, short swords, chest plates and more will be available in Sophie's Shoppe and the Seasonal Shop!

Special versions will be able to be bought with Acorns rather than Star Shards.

The Druaesi Rebasi!

It's been a lot of work, but we heard your cries for a more simple Druaesi base to help in the design process. 
We've put hours upon hours of work into the new base, and we're excited to finally be able to share it with you;

With this stunning rebase comes new assets like "Generic Leaf Ears", "Grass Tail", "Blue Grass Tail", "Dried Grass Tail", and a variety of hair like "Grass Hair", "Blue Grass Hair", and "Dried Grass Hair". 
Markings are welcome to be added to this new base! 
We do plan to stick with it for a while, so we hope you all enjoy it!

As always, please do let us know what you think about the updates. We love to hear your thoughts!
