Quests & Challenges

[center][b][size=7]Looking for Ylli's Star Quests & Raffle?[/size][/b][/center] We've decided to have a new thread for each festival event. The thread you are in now only contains what ended up being a messy organization for Thundercrack Carnivale with an archived Brightshine Jubilee before that. [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yoiTH5y7azs2-nBwmM5pashtEFfmOnCUsjqxFFNShC4/edit#gid=1797412975]The Spreadsheet[/url] remains the same and updates with each new festival. [b]You can find the new event at this thread:[/b] [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3265218/1#post_3265218][size=7][b][emoji=fire rune size=1] Flameforger's 2023 [emoji=fire rune size=1] Event Thread[/b][/size][/url][/center] The pinglist will be activated over there when it's ready for viewing and sign up <3 -------- Ylli loves stars and wants to share that joy. The more stars you give out, the more likely we are to discover special, even legendary stars. I'm sure we'll discover them by the end! Regardless, we’ll all spread love to many deserving dragons along the way!

However, it is the life-like AI replica of a Stardust Scholar wound around his tail that is the first to speak. The words are at odds with the tranquil, feminine tones. "They're here! They're here Jai - and there's new faces too! I'm so excited!" It takes new arrivals a moment, but they do eventually realize those words, if not the tone, match the aether's entire vibe as he attempts to sit still now in his excitement. "Hello friends!" The scholar repeats and Ylli glances down at it as well, then back at one of the newcomers. The Stardust Scholar continues, "Do you like my Chael? It's supposed to stand for something but I never remember what - I love her soothing voice! She's a fun little bit of arcanotech that telepathically picks up and relays everything I want to say when I can't speak for myself. Neat, huh?"[/columns] [columns][img alt="Lightning Aura Sidebar"]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1098046325716697118/1132193903383162980/TCC_Sidebar.png[/img] [nextcol]If anyone's confused, Ylli doesn't seem to realize it as he rushes to introduce himself and the colourful, multi-eyed Lightning spiral beside him. "I'm Ylli and [i]this[/i] is my friend Jaisudha" The Stardust scholar says for him as Ylli makes an introductory gesture toward the spiral. Chael's voice doesn't really match the eager dragon in front of you, but he's all smiles and most find the serene voice [i]is[/i] rather soothing. This time Ylli attempts to look professional, but he’s sporting a blep and doesn’t seem to realize it. That’s okay, it’s kind of adorable, isn’t it? “You must be here because you heard about my quest to find [i]more [/i]special stars during Thundercrack Carnivale and you want to help, right? I love stars! They are my favourite thing to collect and this month, I have help from Jai! Ze's from the Lightning flight and helped me organize things a little better this month."

"I noticed Ylli needed help organizing and together we've hopefully made this event run more smoothly with a little less confusion this month. "Instead of calling any task a daily, for example, they are now simply quests and each type of quest is headed by a different dragon we've brought in to give more details. Along with lighting stars you come across in hopes of generating a legendary star for the Lightning Sprite or Stormcatcher, you will need to complete 5 quests before our little event ends. [/columns] "The Stormcatcher star only appears to those who've done all five of their quests before the event ends, but both reappear every year for Thundercrack Carnivale. You will have until August third just before the night turns to August fourth. You may stick with just one quest giver and complete their task 5 times, or include more of a variety." [columns]Ylli hops around again in excitement. "And before I forget, if you like collecting stars as much as I do, you’re welcome to [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/85174217]take a look at the collection[/url] I’ve uncovered among some of my friends. Sometimes when you light up a dragon’s personal star enough times, it starts generating copies of a special star linked to that dragon for everyone who gave it a little light to take home.” [nextcol][img alt="Ylli portrait to signify a change in speaker."]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1098046325716697118/1122441318153588858/Ylli_and_Chael_Avatar_Face_Left.png[/img][/columns] There have been plenty of dragons with many [i]many[/i] lit up stars who never generate [i]special[/i] stars linked to them, as far as you know. That being said, helping Ylli with his quest does seem to be an [i]official[/i] event, so there’s got to be something to it, right? At the very least, maybe you’ll meet some amazing new dragons along the way and give them a little something to smile about.[/columns] [center][img alt="How to Enter banner with a Lightning Aura background."]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1098046325716697118/1132177080369561721/How_to_Enter.png[/img] [b]How to Enter[/b][/center] [b][size=5]Important: Please do not delete your posts, it will make me have to redo all the participation links.

You will be keeping and editing this card for each month. [b]Please do not create a new card[/b]. [br] [indent][emoji=shockswitch yellow size=1] Ping me in the thread on your card or with your first quest to let me know you're participating again. Only after I receive that notice will your name and original card be copy-pasted into the new round of participants for TCC. [emoji=shockswitch yellow size=1] Please do make use of the bottom of your card if you wish to record badges previously earned, how many stars lit for BSJ, or whatever information from the BSJ 2023 event you wish to include. And of course, please feel free to update which dragons you're showcasing. My updated example is [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3247590/9#post_54450435]here[/url].[/indent] [emoji=shockswitch blue size=1] If you lit so many stars last month, you're having trouble finding enough stars to light this month, you may begin to count some previously lit stars on the condition you take a moment to revisit each dragon counted. [emoji=shockswitch blue size=1] [b]There are 5 different types of quests that follow this post (and are linked in navigation). For each quest completed (and/or repeated) you get a ticket toward the raffle (max of 5 tickets). You may complete these quests at any time during the event which ends before rollover on August 3rd (you get an extra five days to complete them!).[/b] [br] [indent][emoji=shockswitch yellow size=1] You can do the same quest type 5 times or do one of each, or any combo between.[/indent] [emoji=shockswitch blue size=1] [b]Each quest response should go in a new post. Details will be provided for each quest type in the five posts that follow.[/b] [br] [emoji=shockswitch blue size=1][size=5] [b]NEW participants:[/size] First, copy and paste the form below this sentence[/b]. This is your participation card. [b]You will edit this card throughout the course of the event[/b] if you wish to change any information on it. Amount of [b]participants is unlimited[/b]. Also, if you feel your lair is not ready for visitors, you can still play, just say so on your sign up card. None of the dailies will require your own dragons be open for visits.

[emoji=shockswitch blue size=1] If you don't plan to respond in character (perfectly fine!), then you can either leave your participating dragon field blank or post the full-sized dragon widget for the dragon you most want stars for. [br] [indent][emoji=shockswitch yellow size=1] Not sure what a widget is? [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3247590/1#post_54387877]See this post[/url].[/indent] -------- [size=5][b]All participants:[/b][/size] [emoji=shockswitch blue size=1] [b]Please count only newly lit stars for other participants' dragons.[/b] You can start keeping track of how many stars you lit immediately upon signing up. [br] [indent][emoji=shockswitch yellow size=1] The point of this is to encourage lighting stars you see on dragons you like, you may guesstimate approximately how many if you lost count, just don't falsely inflate your numbers. [emoji=shockswitch yellow size=1] [b]Star-lighting requirements for each quest may only be claimed for that one quest.[/b] In other words, if you complete 5 rounds of the Spotlights + quest, you must have lit at least 250 stars among other participants' collections for the event. The other quests should add up to at least 100 stars for the event. [emoji=shockswitch yellow size=1] Handing out stars to my dragons counts as well, though for obvious reasons I'm not participating in the raffle portions of this event [emoji=aether laughing size=1][/indent] [emoji=shockswitch blue size=1] You may list up to 5 additional dragons you'd love extra stars for as linked thumbnails in the notes section (not required). [br] [indent][emoji=shockswitch yellow size=1] Not sure how to make a linked thumbnail dragon? [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3247590/1#post_54387877]See this post[/url].[/indent] [emoji=shockswitch blue size=1] You may change your RP/spotlight dragon and 5 additional dragon thumbnails at any time, just edit your post. [emoji=shockswitch blue size=1] [b]Remember that all permadragons for each participant count, not just the ones that might be pictured in each sign up post.[/b] So look in the notes to see which tabs you might find each participants' permadragons in. [emoji=shockswitch blue size=1] [b]You may keep track of other things on your participation card if you like[/b], such as if you want to know how many stars certain dragons of yours get, or whether or not you have your own set of badges people can earn by giving certain dragons a star, etc. Please keep these extras at the bottom of your participation card under the notes section. [emoji=shockswitch blue size=1] [b]There are 5 different types of quests that follow this post (and are linked in navigation). For each quest completed (and/or repeated) you get a ticket toward the raffle (max of 5 tickets).

Details will be provided for each quest type in the five posts that follow.[/b] [emoji=shockswitch blue size=1][size=5] [b]NEW Addition:[/size] All participants are allowed to post one brand new or under-appreciated dragon from their own collection in a brand new post every day.[/b] Please use the full-sized dragon widget in these posts. [br] [indent][emoji=shockswitch yellow size=1] This addition is ideal for sharing dragons that weren't around in previous events, as well as dragons added during an active event when other participants are less likely to check a card update. It's also hear to encourage more of all those lovely interactions participants have been giving each other <3. [br][emoji=shockswitch yellow size=1] Please prioritize new dragons. Under-appreciated dragons should only be used in the event you haven't added any new dragons (because everyone deserves a little spotlight attention, not just those of us who really shouldn't be adding their 43678th permadragon lol). [br][emoji=shockswitch yellow size=1] Sharing your daily dragon can be done regardless of whether or not you post a quest that day.

All I really care about is that you don't falsely inflate the number. [emoji=shockswitch yellow size=1] If you're having a hard time finding unlit stars among your fellow participants, you may start counting previously lit stars so long as you revisit the dragon involved. Please give it an honest try though.[/indent] [b]Every superstar will also be able to claim a unique star badge based on the Stormcatcher and be showcased in next month's Superstars quest![/b] [br] [center][img alt="Rules Banner with a Lightning Aura background"]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1098046325716697118/1132179772798152734/Rules_Banner.png[/img] [b]Rules[/b][/center] [br] [b][emoji=shockswitch blue size=1] Play nice and all the other obvious rules [emoji=shockswitch blue size=1] No cheating.

"I’m running a questing booth too! As with the others, you have to light the star for at least 20 more dragons and spotlight one with a compliment. "The key difference in my quest, however, is that we have another mystery dragon to find along the way! Last week I received a note from an anonymous source telling me that our event and love of the stars has helped give them the courage to live their truest self. They’re [i]made of stars[/i], or…I think the note said - you know what? I’ll just read it!"[/columns] [br] [indent]"Hello Ylli! Like you I love the stars and call them home, admiring them every night. I admired Sornieth from afar as well - your magic here shines like a jewel in the cosmos. That’s right, I’m not a dragon, I’ve only been masquerading as one. What I truly am is a slice of sentient nighttime sky with nebulae hidden in the pattern of my wings and stardust sparkling in my horns and body, cleverly (or so I thought) disguised as dragon genes not quite as suspicious as starmap and constellation. "Through your event, I’ve recently come to discover that there is perhaps no longer any reason I need to remain hidden. Not-dragons like me appear to be welcome (so long as we’re not tainted by the Shade, of course). I thought I’d have a bit of fun with it though and see if any of your participants can find me with no other hints. "However, it won’t do for you to approach random dragons asking if they are secretly something else. Instead, I’d love to propose a quest for you and your participants to merely find and compliment dragons that remind you of stars and the nighttime sky, interact with them, be welcoming and kind. Even if you don’t find [i]me[/i] it will make other dragons feel good. Do your thing, light up their stars and empower them. Meanwhile, far from being sad if I am overlooked, I will delight in remaining hidden in plain sight awhile longer. I do take [i]some[/i] pride in my draconic disguise, after all."[/indent] "That’s it for my quest! Let’s see if we can find some dragons that might be made of stars! Don’t forget to really interact with everyone you meet. Good luck!"
