artfight

!!! EVENT POINT METER !!!

Event Duration: 7/1/25 - 7/31/25

───────── ౨ৎ ─────────

How to participate

Step 1. Attack faians on artfight

Create attacks (visual art or animation) of Faian characters on the official Artfight! These can be attacks, friendly fire, revenge... anything that is officially uploaded onto Artfight qualifies. Your team does not matter, as we're basically all one big Faia-team in this Milestone event! To find characters to attack, visit the Discord server's ⟡-artfight-links channel.

(Pssst! You can submit your attack artworks to our on-site event gallery!)

Step 2. Submit for wisps & points

Each individual attack on a Faian character can be submitted to this prompt for both wisps and event points! Additional rules are in the prompt description. You will earn the same amount of wisps as you would normally if the piece were submitted as general art, with the exception of pet bonuses being inapplicable. Please include a wisp breakdown in your comments, fill out the given form, and attach your wisps manually!

The number of wisps you earn in each attack also directly translates to the number of points contributed to the event's point meter! Your attack will be logged on the Event Point Meter document, and your points will be added to the total, contributing towards new prizes for everyone...

Step 3. enter the raffle

At the end of the event, a google form will be posted, allowing anyone who participated to enter a free raffle for all prizes unlocked by the community! On the form, you'll be able to rank each prize by preference. The order of rolled winners' picks will be based on contribution to the event's point meter: the more points you score, the higher the possibility of winning your first choice prize!

The top few 5 point scorers also earn bonus prizes. More info below!

⋆｡°✩

Prizes

Anyone who participates (makes at least one attack on a Faian character) is eligible to enter in the free raffle at the end of the event, and all attacks on Faian characters are eligible for standard wisp rewards. Additionally, there are guaranteed bonus prizes for the top point scorers (listed below)!

BONUS prizes

The top 5 point scorers will receive the following prizes:

1ST: 6 KC, Legendary Trait Spell x1
2ND: 5 KC, Legendary Trait Spell x1
3RD: 4 KC, Legendary Trait Spell x1
4TH: 3 KC, Legendary Trait Spell x1
5TH: 2 KC, Legendary Trait Spell x1

raffle prizes

The following prizes (40 total) can be unlocked by the community by reaching point milestones. The raffle will be completely free-to-enter for anyone who contributed points to the Milestone Event, with everyone getting one equal entry.

───────── ౨ৎ ─────────

Updates

1) Writing bonus for prompts is now +500 words = +100 wisps, to match the ratio of artwork!

2) The Tortuvina Swan Wings trait has been renamed to Feathered Wings.

3) A new rule has been added to the Code of Conduct: "YOU MAY NOT... Harass others for their items or characters. This includes making offers when those items/characters aren't explicitly put UFO." (in summary, don't DM others to offer on stuff they didn't put UFO!)

4) A full site aesthetic overhaul is planned for November! I would like to move the ARPG's main aesthetic away from the current 'shiny green & blue', as it doesn't represent Faia's lore in any way. The new aesthetic I have planned will mostly focus on the colors purple and yellow, representing Light and Wither! The overhaul will include new default site themes, hopefully new artwork for all items and pets in a new style (I will be getting an iPad soon... no more touchpad art...), as well as new trait rarity colors. Updated artwork will roll out gradually after the initial overhaul in November!

Rite of the Reef

[Bay Festival] Event Duration: 6/1/25 - 6/30/25

The arrival of Bay Season brings with it a tradition of profound cultural significance: The Rite of the Reef. Generations ago, when Faia was smothered by wither, the Lightkeepers brought warmth and life back to the Realm, one island at a time. The Rite honors these efforts, celebrating light and uniting Faians together in shared purpose.

The Rite of the Reef occurs annually in Lylluna Reef, an island that has long since been considered the heart of Faia. Each night of the Rite, Faians gather on Lylluna's outer beaches and release their lanterns to the ocean. In this unified act, Faians from around the Realm create a tangible connection to their shared purpose, the floating lanterns not only symbolizing their achievements thus far, but each Faian's continued commitment to the Lightkeeper cause. 

───────── ౨ৎ ─────────

🐳 collect event Traits & pets! 🐳

Mermaid trait items and Lutris carriers are available during the Rite of the Reef in the Event Shop and Ko-Fi shop!

The Flora of Faia

Event Duration: 5/1/25 - 5/31/25

───────── ౨ৎ ─────────

How to participate

Step 1. islands and info

EVENT PROMPT: Design flora (a plant) that is native to any one of the islands below.

This event's selected islands are: Lylluna Reef, Zamna, and Orevein. 

You may submit as many entries as you'd like, and there is no limit on how many entries you can submit for a single island. The term 'flora' encompasses any plant including fungi: so trees, flowers, shrubbery, mushrooms, mosses, weeds, grass, completely fantastical and made-up plants... anything is on the table! 

Step 2. design flora

ENTRIES ARE JUDGED BASED ON: (1) creativity of the visual design, (2) cohesiveness with the design and environment of the home island, and (3) creativity of the information (name, properties if any, uses if any, blurb if any).

REFERENCES FOR DESIGNING: It is important to  familiarize yourself with the environment and design of the home island before designing flora for that island! Environment-wise, information for each island can be found in their World Expanded pages (linked above). Design-wise, the best drawn reference is the map artwork, but additional references include the pixel icon and concept-art banner (found in the island's World Expanded page, not available for every island).

With all that information in mind, it's time to get designing! Here are the 2 criteria for submitting an entry explained.

Step 3. Submit your entry

Now that your plant has been drawn and prepared, it's time to actually submit your entry!

Entries should be submitted to this gallery. One entry per gallery post (if you designed multiple plants, make a separate gallery post for each). In the description, fill out this form:

Once everything is all filled out, submit the gallery post! You have participated in the event, congratulations! Again, there is no limit on how many entries you can make and how many entries an win in total (but as always, quality & creativity > quantity...)

⋆｡°✩

Prizes

Winners will be announced and receive their prizes ~ a week after the event ends! The winning entries will then be made official and added to the World Expanded in July. For this event, entries are judged based on the following creativity (visual design + information) and cohesiveness with the home island.

Participation prizes

All participants are automatically entered into a raffle upon entering! Prizes (1 random prize per winner, 2 winners): Bush Viper Potion x1, Croket Carrier x1.

Winners' prizes

All winning entries (entries that are chosen to be made canon) will be ranked, and based on that ranking, the creators will get an ordered pick from the prize pool below. Each person can win a maximum of 3 prizes; in the case of a person having more than 3 winning entries, their picking order will be based on their 3 highest ranked entries, and any additional winning entries will reward 300 wisps each!

Prize Pool: Bush Viper TR-111, Unusual Tortuvina MYO x1, Bloom Palette x1 (3 picks available), Thunderstrike Potion x1, Sea Dragon Potion x1, Mushbun Carrier x1, [TR] Bottled Mist x1, Kelp Coins x4 (unlimited picks available).

Bloom Festival

Event Duration: 3/1/25 - 3/31/25

After a long season of hardship, the arrival of Bloom Season is widely celebrated across the Realm. During the annual Bloom Festival, Faians express their gratitude towards the land and the resources it provides through various seasonally-themed activities, many of which involve helping others. Each village holds their Festival separately with different traditions, but there are several universal Festival activities, such as the communal garden and balloon rides.

In many villages, it is common to to send and receive gift baskets full of native plant seeds (after making sure they won't become invasive in their new environment...), in order for each island's residents to truly appreciate the diversity of Faian flora. Faian fauna plays a large role in the Festival as well, as Faians go to great lengths to ensure the local wildlife continues to thrive after Frost Season. All in all, the Bloom Festival can look very different depending on each village and island, but regardless, it is a time for Faians across the Realm to come together and appreciate the bounty of their lands.
