FAQ
Q: Is trading figurines allowed?
A: Of course! However, you may not pass figurines around to complete the collection (like poke-dexing).
Q: Is it possible to get duplicate figurines?
A: Sadly, yes! The boxes drop figurines randomly. If you have duplicates, you can sell them for wisps, craft them into the Box of Junk recipe, or trade them to other users in the Discord Server!
Q: I completed my collections. Do I still need to keep the figurines?
A: Nope! See the above answer for options on what you can do with figurines you no longer need.
Q: What do I do if I miss a Seasonal Festival?
A: Since these are annual events, you can pick up right where you left off at the next yearly cycle! Or, trading is also an option.
Q: Are Runestones one-time use?
A: Nope! Once you have collected all four Runestones and "unlocked" the Serpent’s Glade, you have permanent access to the Glade’s shop and features. You do not need to re-collect the figurines every year.
