The Star Shower Festival, also known as the Star Festival, is an event that takes place during January, shortly after the New Year's events have passed. It takes place in Ashaya Village, where it is celebrated as a local holiday to the residents living there. Many players band together to collect a large sum of Stardust from Galepeak. During this time, the blizzard that surrounds Galepeak disappears for the duration of the event. Players will hand over their collected stardust to Benjamin, which eventually stockpiles the dust in a stone circle located in the middle of the village.
It is one of the newest events that were added into the game, instead of expanding on the traditional holidays that are represented in the real world, such as Christmas.
Contents
History
In the quest Star Shower on Galepeak, Benjamin explains the history behind the festival. The lore of it mentioned through this quest is stated below:
Every year, some time around the end of December, a large swarm of meteoroids passes by our planet.
While the bulk of them remains at quite a distance, some smaller outliers become attracted by gravity and create quite a spectacle that is best observed on the East side of Galepeak.
Ashaya Village has made it tradition to celebrate this star shower in a local holiday called the Star Festival. During these days, anyone is encouraged to visit Galepeak and gather the fragments of any meteorites they find on the ground. Most of the locals bring them here to Ashaya, where we collect them in this stone circle, as a gift to the Earth spirits.
Participation Details
The goal of the festival is for the community to work together to obtain a total sum of stardust from Galepeak. During this time, travelling to Galepeak is clear (instead of the usual blizzard) and periodically drops several comets, which plummet into the ground and litter the map for players to interact with in order to collect the dust itself. Please note that most of this stardust can be only collected on the east side of Galepeak, and monsters are still active on the mountain as the event progresses.
Players will travel back to Benjamin in Ashaya Village from Galepeak to turn in the stardust. There are two requirements for this event quest: the minimum turn-in which is 50 stardust per player, and the community effort portion. Once the pile of stardust on the stone circle reaches it's desired total, players will then be able to complete the event quest that is given by Benjamin.
Rewards
to obtain a special tabard that the year is sewn into.
Notes
- Note that if you want to keep your stardust for any reason, such as preserving it as a souvenir, you should put this dust on another character or in storage. Benjamin will take all of the stardust you have in your inventory and will not ask how many do you want to donate.
