What an eventful summer we’ve had so far! From unexpected tornadoes to scorching heat waves, and even the occasional threat of the end of the world, it’s been a whirlwind of excitement and chaos. But amidst all this hustle and bustle, it’s important to take a moment to breathe and enjoy the simple pleasures. So, let’s put aside our worries and dive into the fun and festivities that the carnival in Amatsu has to offer. Gather your friends, embrace the vibrant atmosphere, and immerse yourself in the joyous activities that await. It’s time to unwind, have a blast, and create unforgettable memories together! Event ends on Sept 2nd, 2024! Carnival is in Town This is the 3rd year the Carnival has been a part of the End-of-Summer Festival in Amatsu, and this time they had the funds to bring in some new attractions. Last year they brought in their new petting zoo. This year they not only brought in a food truck restaurant and some food stalls selling tasty treats, they brought in a legit fortune teller! To participate in the event, you will need to get get summer coins. These are rewarded by participating in live GM events, or you can spend some zeny to get some coins, but having coins is not enough. Talk to the point redeemer, and you will get a special card that keeps tracks of your points. Classic Attractions Poring Pond Mainly Luck Based 2 Summer coins This game is simple. In a pool of water are some plastic porings. Under them are 1 of 4 symbols: Square, Triangle, Moon, or Star. You are to pull out 2. If they match, you will get points. Square: 5 points Triangle: 10 points Moon : 20 points Star: 40 points. While the game may seem random. It's actually based on the milliseconds of which you click the next button. But to prevent button mashing both sets use different distributions, but the odds are the same. However~ If you are lucky, you may trigger a Luck holds out event, which will make your second poring match the first. Big Wheel Luck Based Your points This game features a big wheel. You bet your points, predict what you will land on, and spin the wheel. Depending on what color it lands on will determine how much you win or lose. White: 24 slots: You will win what ever you betted with. 5 points = 5+ points Purple: 15 slots: You will win double whatever you betted on. 5 points = 10+ points Green: 7 slots: You will win five times the amount you betted on. 5 points = 25+ points Yellow: 4 slots: You will win ten times the amount you betted on. 5 points = 50+ points Blue: 2 slots: you will win twenty times the amount you betted on. 5 points = 100+ points Pink / Orange: 1 slot: you will win forty times the amount you betted on. 5 points = 200+ points This game is very random and very luck based, just like a roulette wheel at a casino. You have no real control over where the wheel will land, so take a chance and spin~ High Strike Mainly Skill Based 3 Summer coins Probably one of the easiest games to play. Press next when it says swing, and it takes into account how long it took you to press next, and your strength stat. Some players have got this down to a science, where they know where the sweet spot is in the timing. Ringing the bell will grant you 15 points. Anything less will grant you 1 point for each light you manage to light up. Petting Zoo Pure Skill 1 Summer coin This one is a bit tricky. You are allowed 5 attempts a day. Darren will give you a clue on which pet you are to feed with his special blend of pet food. There are 11 pets that you can click on. Once you start the game, clicking on the pet will feed it. If the food is correct the pet will be happy. The clues have to do with the accessories. So remember to READ what your clue is. This game keeps track of your total attempts and correct guesses. Being diligent and feeding the pets correctly can yield some wonderful results. Fishing Pure Skill 3 Summer coins This game is super easy if you fish normally. Unlike normal fishing this fish will never give up, but that's not your goal. Your goal is to keep the fish hooked for as long as you can. For every 3 seconds you can hold onto the line you will get 1 point, but you need to survive the first 30 seconds before you will get any points. If you are not good at fishing, just remember that standing and sitting will prevent the fish from going a direction. Practice and maybe you will be the champion of this mini game. Not only does this game give you points, but if you have the top score at the end of the event, you will be declared the Fishing Master in the next announcement post and receive a Special Item Ticket in your RoDex mail. Claw Machine Pure Skill 3 Summer coins This is a game that is very hard to explain without you playing it a few times. Before you play it's best to Scout first. The machine has 100 slots, 10 rows, 10 columns. If there is a O in the slot, that means there is a prize there, X mean there is not. When there are less than 10 prizes left the machine will refresh it's entire state, and thus the old prizes may move. So best to check. But how to play? The claw starts at the top left corner of the grid. When you start it will start moving towards the bottom. When you press next, it will start moving right. Finally when you press next again it will grab what ever slot the claw is currently in. It takes 3 full seconds for the claw to make it's way to the edge. As for what you win, each of the capsules contains points. And they can hold one of the following: 5 points 20 points 50 points 100 points. If you are skilled enough to time your presses, and understand how the scouting mechanic works, you can probably clear this machine out super easily, and make a lot of points very quickly. The only thing that is chance is the amount of points that are in the capsule, but that is determined when the machine starts up and is renewed. Think of this machine like someone covered the front where the button is that you need to press, but the back isn't covered so you can sort of make out where things are. (As part of the limitations of our client, we cannot make this game look 'pretty' with images, since the client can only display 1 image at a time it would require us to make 2^100 images (1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376). That's a lot of images. If you jellybeans have any ideas on how to make the scouting mechanic easier to understand, let me know. I would love to make this easier for people. Even if that means we make a web browser version of the mechanic.) New Attractions Exploding Melons Pure Skill Free This attraction doesn't have a cost, but it also doesn't have a prize, it's purely for fun. Just click on the little chat window above the NPC's head, and when there are at least 2 players in the chat room a 60 second count down will start, allowing others to join. Exploding melons is just like bomb poring but they don't move. Do your best to avoid being hit. The game will keep track of the furthest wave and who it was that made completed it, though it's not saved. So if the server were to reset that would be lost, but it's for fun, so have a blast. If the last few players die on the same round, then it's considered a loss for all. The game will not allow ties after all. Food Stalls Service Summer coins / Zeny We added 3 vendors for selling you tasty goods. You can either pay with Zeny or with Summer coins. We hope you enjoy the snacks! Divination Service Free Like all the good carnivals, you may come across a fortune teller. This attraction is a bit different from the others. Inside the tent you will find 5 crystal balls, with 5 different means of divining the future. Technically there are 6. While most may not believe in divination, we have done our best to put in real practices into this service, though it could not hold a candle to the real thing. Normally, the diviner will help you interpret the message and guide you to the answer of which you are seeking. The best we can do is give you the general meaning of the results, and hope that you are able to interpret the meaning from there. Though if you ask me nicely, I could assist you with that, I suppose. The following methods have been provided: Zatini: When asking her to divine the future, you simply ask out loud (like in front of your computer) the question, and click next. She works like a magic 8-ball.) Dice: Ask your question and click next. The dice will roll. In this particular reading the totals give you a general message, but the dice give you a better direction on which pull the general message is trying to go. The Brass die is about money, Wood is yourself, and Bone is the relationships of those around you. (This would require us to have 216 images if we were to display all possible outcomes.) Numerology: This is a simple one. It's basically taking your birthday and telling you what sort of fate you were born into. Think of it like figuring out your horoscope or reading palms. We've done our best to account for leap years, but if you happen to be a leap year baby, and are unable to insert your birth date, let us know. After you enter the date it will tell you the special path that life had chosen for you. (Don't worry, we don't save the birthdate. The moment you are done with the crystal ball it forgets all about you.) Runes: There are 5 different readings you can get from this one. It works by the method of pulling runes out of the divination bag. Ask your question and read them in order. Before you click on the next one it will tell you what the next rune is suppose to represent, with the exception of the single rune. That one is literally trying to answer your initial question. We may update this one in future updates to show the runes themselves. (There are 24 runes in the Norse alphabet.) Tarot: There are 6 possible readings with this deck of 78 different cards. We did our best to help with understanding the meaning of each card. Ask your question, and select the type of reading you would like. With the exception of the court cards, we were able to give you a pretty good translation of the Tree of Life. For court cards, we went with the Myers-Briggs Personality types to help guide you, since court cards are personalities mostly. Scrying: This one is a bit harder to explain, but it follows the method of looking into crystal ball. Generally the future is uncertain, but who knows. Check it daily and see if a future presents itself to you. This service does require a bit of reading, and open mindedness, and while there is nothing to stop you from doing the readings multiple times in succession and getting different results, just remember that knowing the future, changes the future. And remember bad luck is just luck that is bad. Unlike the fae, you are given the power of choice. Dominating the Beach Last month we had added a ranking system for the Volleyball game. Unfortunately not a lot of players had engaged with it, but looking at the scores, it seems I am the best volleyball player on the beach, Relativity however is the best player so far. While we will not move the carnival to the beach, or bring volleyball to Amatsu, I would very much like to see if someone can reach an Ranking score of 1500 before the end of the summer, bonus points to all participates. Though more points if alts were not used. That's my special challenge for you, my little jellybeans. On a more serious note Just a reminder that advertising and/or recruiting for other RO servers on our official channels is prohibited. That includes in game, on the forums, and on any of our social media. This rule has been in place since the beginning. If you witness someone breaking the rules, please report it. Cheating or breaking rules in MMO's isn't just hurting you, but it hurts everyone. Do what you want on single player games.
