Hi there everyone.

It's a time of rebirth. Of Spring! A new holiday has been implemented by the Monks and Sisters of the Cathedral of Ways. Eggs have been scattered in all but the smallest realms with baskets handed out to everyone to collect them. Yay! Fun!

An unpleasant Mage has see all this "fun" and decided he hates it. And if he hates it, he has to ruin it for everyone! He's conjured up Shadow Bunnies to steal the eggs and generally get in the way!

The Warriors of the Realms must gather together to collect all the eggs and duff up any of the Shadow Bunnies who get in between you and the eggs!

A Springtime Druid awaits you in the Springtime Forest with a new quest : Shadow Bunny Assault! (STF)

Easter Egg (Level 25)
3840094735ce3db4726f9659cdd2ca59b487.jpg

All over the Realms, a holiday is being celebrated. The citizens are tasked with finding the colourful eggs that have been strewn around the country. All participants have to have a magic basket which they put the eggs into and they return to the Cathedral of Ways for counting. Good, clean fun!

Shadow Bunny (Level 25)
38411e5ac5da40256cffe21588bfd454aa63.jpg

Good fun until someone has to spoil it! An unpleasant Mage has decided that these "Fun" activities must be stopped. To that end, he has conjured up twisted, evil Shadow Bunnies that are immune to normal weapons! They are running around the Realms trying to steal the colourful eggs! They must be stopped!

The latest Global Event in Fallen Sword is now underway! In the Event, the Community must work together to gather the Eggs scattering the realms while beating up the Shadow Bunnies.

Each player must earn a personal target for increasingly bountiful Easter Baskets (mouse over the event info on the World page for more details) while also helping the Community to attain the best total kills possible, unlocking the rewards for all.

The Event shall be live until 13:00 hours Server Time 23rd April 2019.

For each tier that the community completes the reward will be as follows:

Bronze:1 x Simple Easter Basket
Silver:1 x Average Easter Basket
Gold:2 x Modest Easter Basket
Crystal:2 x Fantastic Easter Basket
Ruby: 3 x Extravagant Easter Basket

If you qualified, the reward(s) will be delivered to your mailbox shortly after the event ends. Note that you get the reward for the tier that you have qualified for, for example if the community unlocks Gold, but you qualify for Silver, you will receive 1 x Global Silver Frag Stash. You don't receive the rewards from lower tiers, only the tier you have qualified for.

Also if you are placed within the top 100 event contributors you will receive 2 additional Extravagant Easter Baskets.

Finally, those players who place in the Top 10 contributors will earn the chance to create a new LE or SE for the game! Bear in mind, we have put a cap on 3 creators per player. This gives others a chance. smile.png

The Springtime Forest (Shoppers Grove) has appeared for those of you who finished the Shadow Bunny Assault! quest and discarded their Magical Egg Collecting Basket.

There is a helpful forum post RIGHT HERE full of information on Global hunting grounds and so on compiled from the Community by Egami.
 
In addition the Springtime Forest is open once again. The following beasts lurk in the dark......

No new LE this year? I want to farm for new STF gear. Give us some Grim  :P

 

In addition, like last year, Typhonicus LE is missing from the list at the start of the event. Isn't Typhonicus a permanent Springtime Forest LE?

For those who have completed the quest and want to get the basket, go to the "SHOP" in the middle of the Springtime Forest (Outer Grove). You enter the forest through Mountain Path and will be located at "MP".

For first timer (not yet complete the quest), you will get basket by doing quest located at (7,2) between portals level 5 and 700 as you can see from the map I made.

Feel free to pass the map guide around help FS players.

So it seems the special Easter chests were a one time spawn.  Great idea but the players who happened to have playing time at the time of the initial spawn made out like bandits in both medal progress and shards (= free FSP).  Those who came in later were just left out.  I'd suggest changing it so there are perhaps fewer chests at the outset but they continually respawn as they are found.  This would give more players the opportunity to find the chests as they are able to play.

Something changed after the initial release. I struggled to find enough chests to finish my siver medal just hours after the first notice while those collecting at the outset found hundreds so easily they quit looking because of boredom. That's a pretty big discrepancy in a very short time frame. I think the chests were a great idea, I just think it didn't play out as well as it could have. Perhaps it will be tweaked a bit for next year's event.

Maybe chests of this nature could appear in other special events as well.  But I agree, there should be a bit more planning involved.  I only found one by the way, didn't really look though as I believed the persistent rumor that they didn't respawn and decided to use my stam in more productive ways.


Just one old lady's opinion
