Each Bag will also contain 1 of the following:

Crafting

The Crafting System and Blueprints make a return for this year's Twilight Carnival! Blueprints allow you to assemble your foraged items into bigger, better prizes using ARC Lab's MAKR Machine. In each basket you will find various items, such as limited-time Seasonal Produce, rarer gemstones, and everyone's favourite element: Astatine! Start crafting your baskets and see how luck rewards you!

Blueprints can be obtained for free in each weekly Carnival Gift.
A limited number of additional blueprints can be purchased in Jackpot Planet, and baskets themselves can be earned from certain prompts or even foraged!



❗️ Before you start crafting! ❗️

Some recipes take multiple ingredient varieties, such as any produce item. Please make sure you are using the items you wish to use before you click 'craft' so you do not lose out on an item you want to hold on to! The crafting system will automatically select random items for these multi-item ingredient recipes, so you must double check to make sure it selects the ones you want to use and deselect the ones you do not want to use. We know this is a bummer, but it is an issue with the UI of the LoreKeeper Crafting extension and is completely out of our control.
 
We strongly recommend transferring any items you do not want to use in crafting to the inventory of a character, either a Xero or a Boolew, if you can! This will keep the items safe.
 
❗️ We will not be able to restore items for those who use them mistakenly, so please be careful when crafting. ❗️

Returning Seasonal Fruit

Available all month in the Greenhouse and Jackpot Planet!

 
Hake Nut, Mult Fruit, Goodroop Berry, Spikul Fruit, Harvest Fairy, and Sugar Drop all make a return!

Users can purchase 1 of each fruit in the Greenhouse. Additional fruits can be won at Jackpot Planet or found in Baskets!

To help you find the items you'll need to craft Baskets and other event items, we have a temporary Foraging location: Twilight Path!
This location only drops items needed for event crafting recipes and activities, as well as a rare chance for Baskets, Orbits, Comet Clusters, and even Koronoks.

Free gifts, blueprints, seasonal produce, and the Twilight Path location will no longer be available after
Saturday, November 30th AT 11:59 PM EST / 8:59 PM PST

 

The rangers need your help!

The Rangers Corp. has requested a special team for an on-planet expedition to ensure the safe capture and release of a species native to Jurupa Forest called the Koronok. 

The Koronoks have suffered from unprecedented population decline over the last two cycles. Without a clear answer, things look dire. ARC Labs has agreed to help in finding the reason behind the decline and hopefully a solution to save the species so the Koronoks can be reintroduced. To help ensure the safe capture of many individuals, the Rangers Corp. is looking to recruit those with previous experience or interest in the following fields: animal handling, capture and release techniques, and familiarity with Jurupa's greater environment and ecology. 

 
Interested in helping out the Koronoks' cause?
Consider visiting your local Rangers recruitment office to submit your application today!
Thank you for your interest and assistance. Together we can ensure the survival of this unique species!

Build traps and bait through the Crafting tab to get a chance at capturing a Koronok. Koronoks come in 3 color variants and using different baits in a trap will boost the chances of getting certain variants! However, be prepared to encounter sick Koronoks! Sick Koronoks can be healed by administrating medicine to them. Healing sick Koronoks also comes with a bonus of earning their Index page!

You can learn more about crafting traps & bait and healing Koronoks by visiting the Koronok Turn-in Prompt!

 
See you out in Jurupa forest! We need all the help we can get!

 

Mushroom madness!

Failure is a part of learning.

It has come to ARC's attention that the outbreak of non-native fungal spores present in Harbor two cycles ago, assumed to be contained then, has in reality established a troublesome population in Jurupa Forest. The moderate year-round climate and heavy precipitation has made this an ideal location for their growth- but their establishment is disaster for the local Koronok population. 

Koronoks are primarily fungivores so it is imperative ARC collect specimens to learn more about these alien mushrooms and the similarities and differences between the invasive and native species and how they are effected. 

 
Every day, you can attempt to collect a mushroom by Foraging!

These mushrooms are necessary ingredients for creating medication to immunize the Koronoks against the invasive, poisonous fungi and they are of great interest to ARC's scientists for study. There are 9 fungi foragables in total; collect a set of all 9 by the end of the month and submit them to the Mushroom Turn-In Prompt!

Get out there and start foraging! The Koronoks' fate depends on it!

 

The Wild Indoors!

ARC is requesting tools to minimize stress for both lab staff and the Koronok patients alike.

Building enrichment, cooking food, and donating extra medicine to help care for the Koronoks in ARC's care ensures success. Koronoks are delicate and temperamental and the stress of being removed from their natural habitat can take a huge toll on their recovery. ARC knows bringing the familiarity of the woodland to their temporary enclosures at the lab will make the stay much easier. 

Similarly, having familiar fresh foods provided to the Koronoks seems to help improve their recovery times greatly. ARC has access to their favorite mushrooms but they are cultivated varieties, which lack critical mycorrhizal nutrients these mushrooms receive growing in the wild. Donations will help supplement a balanced pellet diet. 

Finally, ARC looks for volunteers who can afford to synthesize medicine. Vaccinating the captured population can help those that fall ill to fight through their sickness. Combating a bottleneck in the population would be difficult. So even if it doesn't cure them outright, it is important to prioritize stabilizing a large population to solidify genetic diversity.

You can use the Crafting tab to cook Koronok food, build a Log Nest, and synthesize Medicine to donate to ARC through the Enrichment Turn-In Prompt. Remember these items must be submitted together as a bundle to be eligible for rewards!

Charity Donation Event

For those that are new here, every once and a while we like to get the community together to donate to a charity to help a cause out and get the community some special rewards to boot!

Did you know that black-footed ferrets were thought to be extinct until a small population of them was discovered in the early 1980s? The surviving population of just 18 animals were brought into captivity for a breeding program.

Every 10 USD donated to the charity gets you a Premium Produce item, as well as 1 Orbit! We are capping the donations to 30 USD a person! You may receive up to 3 items and 3 Orbits in total! You may donate more, but you will not receive any additional rewards!

Link to the prompt

Each prompt may only be submitted once per user!

These event prompts END on Saturday, November 30th AT 11:59 PM EST / 8:59 PM PST

ARC Survey: 030

 

The sights are one thing, but to most, the best part of the Twilight Carnival is the food. From all corners of AREZ space, people come and bring the tastes and smells of their homes, culminating in a huge street festival full of sharing and new experiences.

This year we are curious about foods from other planets... maybe even your home, Earth!

Lore questions


What are the Koronoks? Where do they live?

Koronoks are mammal-like noodly little vertebrates that spend their days hiding in small crevices and hollows in the giant trees of Jurupa forest. Their many limbs have dexterous paws for grasping branches and their extremely long tails helps them stay balanced, even when navigating the narrowest of twigs. Koronok emerge at night to feast on the bountiful native mushrooms found throughout the forest.

Size: 20-25 in / 50-64 cm


Who are the characters in the story? 
We follow Vio the Xero as our main character who is on a journey to help save the Koronoks, a species native to Owai-6's Jurupa region. Vio is joined by a lively cast of colorful aliens including the genetic scientist Xero D N/A, or Dee for short, Kellsworth the the Korso, a liaison for ARC Labs, Vas'an the Varrox, a survey coordinator at the Rangers Corp. and many more! Both new and old characters are present so keep an eye out for familiar names.
 
 
Does my participation impact the story? 
The story is preplanned, however minor differences will be present depending on player interaction over the month of Twilight Carnival!
