Event: City Festivals
Each month the Far Seas Trading Company will choose one city, and set up a small festival outside that city's gates for a week-long event. After the week is over, they will pack up their wagons and disappear until the following month, when they will set up the festival outside a different city. The festival will include:
City-Specific OfferingsEach city will have one vendor full of house items that are unique to the festival for that city. I will cover each with a separate article, linked below. However, we have been told that only the Qeynos offerings will be seen on Test before this event hits the rest of the servers, so documenting the other cities will not happen until the festival actually visits those other cities.
Permanent OfferingsTokens!First, let me cover the tokens, since everything but the food and drink requires the spending of city tokens.City Tokens, which are heirloom, can be earned from one of three quests offered by the Far Seas Quartermaster NPC located at the festival spot. They can also be earned from the completion of city (adventuring) writs, as well as crafting writs (timed and untimed), at the rate of 1 token per writ. (I've had confirmation from Domino that earning tokens for writs will start as soon as GU54 goes live, so you can start saving tokens in advance of the event. Huzzah!) Temporary Clothing RentalCome to the festival without your festival clothes, did you? Why not spend one of your hard-earned tokens on a lovely outfit rental? (Outfits will poof when you log out.) Items are level 1 cloth appearance armor, wearable by all classes. Screenshots for these will be along as time permits, as Kaisha ended up with a LOT on her plate, image-wise, all at once.
"General Goods"The General Goods vendor carries permanent clothing items as well as furniture. September of 2010 also saw the addition of paintings representing the winners of an art contest, each costing 10 tokens apiece. Images will be along eventually. :D
Baskets cost 1 token each, lanterns cost 5 tokens each, the various "garb" items and the shroud of the ever brooding are 10 tokens each, and the very much in-demand uniform of the forest assassin is 15 tokens. You can find size comparisons for the general furniture items here. FoodWhat would a festival be like without cheap alcohol and overpriced junk food? These items cost coin (gold, silver, etc., not tokens)
QuestsThree quests will be offered while the festival is in town. One quest requires crafting tier 1 food and drink, one requires tier 2 harvesting, and one requires running to Mara for supplies. Far Seas Requisition: Special Order CraftingYou will need to help feed the festival workers. Cook up 4 black coffee or 4 white tea, plus either 4 deer sandwiches or 4 sunfish rolls, and bring them back to the NPC for a 4-token reward. If you plan ahead with resources, fuel, water and dough, you can use some tinkered portable cooking sets, and save yourself some running!Far Seas Requisition: Special Order GatheringHarvest up 25 units of the local resources. (For example, tier 2 resources in Antonica while the festival is in Qeynos.) This will reward you with two City Tokens.Far Seas Requisition: Special DeliveryHead over to the Isle of Mara and speak to an NPC on the docks. Then click on the supplies sitting beside him, and head back to the quest-giver at the festival site. This will reward you with three City Tokens.
