The Midwinter Faerie Celebration!

Greetings fellow maplers! Midwinter, also known as the Winter Solstice will soon be upon us! For all you people south of the equator, never fear. It is your Summer Solstice!
When is the solstice? <-- Click here.

An hour before this date and precise time, the gathering will begin at Hidden Street: Holy Ground at the Snowfield (this is where you take the quiz for your 3rd job advancement). The gathering itself is just some fun. Expect door prizes, silly prizes, wtf? prizes. From this point forward, the days will only grow longer. There is much hope for the new year as the spring is to come. Please share your trials, your tribulations, your losses, and your hopes and dreams!


Also to celebrate the coming solstice, The Faerie Circle will be hosting a scavenger hunt!


Gold:

Collect as many gold plates as you can! Turn them in to Lionheart before the appointed time. Winners will be determined later. The top 4 players who collect the most will get a prize of similar color!


Glass shoes:

Uh oh! Looks like Arwen, and Rowen, and Trina, and Nana, and Kriel, and Edel, and Lisa, and Neri and her sister Nuri all lost their collections of glass shoes!

As above, you will need to collect as many as you can, then give the collection to Lionheart before the Solstice. The top 4 players who collect the most Arwen's Glass Shoes (they aren't really all Arwen's) will get a fitting prize!


Goddess Minerva's Diary:

So much detail has already been discovered about the Goddess's past and what led to her imprisonment. But one final piece is missing! The one who recovers Diary : 9th Page will be rewarded a crazy amount of mesos. No time limits, but first come, first serve regardless. Trade Lionheart.


Other Secret items

By solving a riddle and bringing the correct item(s), you can receive a reward! In this case, it's not "who can collect the most" but rather "who can figure it out and trade it in first."

Item A) Fairies may love things that are shiny, but there is one thing they love to drink! Collect one of these and get a tasty drink in exchange (approx 15 prizes can be given out).

Item B) All fairies have these. It should be obvious once you figure it out. Trade 1 of this item to Lionheart, and he shall bring life to them! (approx 2 prizes can be given out).

Item C) This item is so incredibly old and fragile. What does it even mean? Perhaps with a bit of magic, it can be deciphered? (unknown number of prizes).

Item D) Children have always pretended to play war. In the winter their ammo is limitless. But perhaps if you give the child's toy up, you'll be given something you can really fight a monster with. (approx 9 prizes)

As mentioned before, you will want to contact Lionheart in game. Or if you are finding me hard to get a hold of (I know this is probably going to be aggravating), send me a forum PM with a screenshot of your items.

When solving a riddle, please only attempt one at a time. Say which item (A, B, C, or D) and indicate one item. If I get more than one item, you may receive vague or misleading answers.

 

I changed the requirements of item A. Seems way too annoying to get 13 for the reward, so I brought it down to only needing 1.

 

Dumbledore has won the first prize! Not like "1st place". First to get one of the riddle items. Some notes about that:

Please don't tell anyone else the answers.

If you're a winner, please don't drop/sell/distribute any extras you might have.

Don't harass Dumbledore.

Another thing: don't just randomly hand me a bunch of junk and ask "are any of these items what you're looking for?" Protocol is first tell me what item you are going for (A, B, C, or D) and then trade/indicate one item. I might just end up giving a vague or misleading answer if you attempt doing more than one at a time.

 

Looking forward to giving prizes to more contestants! Or teasing them for getting it wrong!

 

Dumbledore has also won Item B. Confirmed only one more prize in that category can be given.

 

I'm out of prizes for Item B. All fairies have these. It should be obvious once you figure it out. Trade 1 of this item to Lionheart, and he shall bring life to them!

What was it? Well, none other than Fairy's Wing.

The prize? I literally brought the wings to life so the winner could wear them.






(I gifted them these NX items)

 

Do you seen the screenshots? Dumbledore and Freddieze have fairy wings equipped for their cape wz (They didn't before).

 

You probably are over-thinking it too much. But yeah. A hand is a part of a person and still considered something "alive". So's a wing of a bug. I imagine so is a wing of a fairy.
