Sylestian Service
https://www.sylestia.com/festival/event_patriotic/service_rank/

The Sylestian Service feature has returned! Enlist and aid your kingdom through the branches of combat, caretaking, and conservation! As you complete the requirements for each branch, you will gain ranks and progress from Civilian all the way to Champion! Master a branch to earn additional rewards specific to that branch!

Combat: The combat branch is best for those who wish to charge into the thick of situations and settle things on the battlefield. You can earn rank through the combat branch by defeating any non-Sylesti enemies within the following zones: Sweet Blossom Orchard, Astryl's Tranquility, The Lost Grove.

Caretaking: The caretaking branch is best for those who pursue more peaceful means and excel at nurturing young Sylesti. You can earn rank through the successful nurture of any Sylesti. Either visit your Hatchery or visit individual pet's profile pages to nurture.

Conservation: The conservation branch is best for those who manage large breeding projects and have many aged adult Sylesti that they are willing to release into the wild. The wild populations of Sylesti are always strained upon and so conservation is vital to maintain healthy levels. You can earn rank by releasing any Sylesti that is at least 42 days of Age.

In total, there are 7 main ranks and then 3 branches for Rank 8. Earn progress towards the next rank by completing any of the requirements for Combat, Caretaking, or Conservation. Once you unlock a new rank, visit the Sylestian Service page to rank up and claim your rewards for that rank! In order to acquire a Rank 8 status and claim its rewards, you must have a current rank of Champion (Rank 7). However, progress towards Rank 8 tiers is awarded regardless of current rank.

The 7 main ranks in order are: Scout, Corporal, Sergeant, Knight, Templar, Guardian, and Champion!



As you gain a new rank, you will receive a Bundle of rewards specific to that rank. This will always include a at least 2 new Outfit items and a Title. The Knight and Champion ranks will include 2 new Head items, 1 new Held item, and a Themed Pet!

Once you have achieved the rank of Champion (Rank 7), you will now unlock the ability to master the 3 branches: High Warlord, High Priest, and High Druid!



Each of the Rank 8 branches can be achieved separately and players will have the opportunity to achieve all 3. Upon mastering a branch, you will receive a Bundle of rewards specific to that rank. This will include 2 new Outfit items, 2 new Head items, 1 new Held item, and a Themed Pet! Additionally, players who master all 3 Rank 8 branches will receive a very special and exclusive Title: Guardian of the Realm!

The following outfit items (and their Re-Colorable versions!) are available from the Sylestian Service:





Rank 9 (Grand Protector): Once a player has achieved the max rank for High Warlord, High Priest, and High Druid, they can unlock Rank 9: Grand Protector. Players can then progress through Rank 9 by participating in Combat, Caretaking, and Conservation. Once they complete Rank 9, they will receive a big bundle of exclusive rewards!

Blazing Fireworks Themed Pets

These Themed Pets are returning once again this year, but with a slightly new and exciting twist! All Blazing Fireworks Themed Pets obtained from this year's event will either have a chance - or a guaranteed chance depending on the source - of coming with a Restricted Wild Trait. This includes Fabled species!

For every Rank 9 Bonus completed in the Sylestian Service, you will receive a 3-Visible Blazing Fireworks Themed Pet with a guaranteed Restricted Wild Trait!

For every Named defeated within the Lost Grove, you will receive a 2-Visible Blazing Fireworks Themed Pet with a guaranteed Restricted Wild Trait!

You will also have the chance of encountering Wild Blazing Fireworks Themed Pets within the Lost Grove, including Fabled species! If you encounter one, all species will have an equal chance of appearing. These pets will also have a chance of having a Restricted Wild Trait - yes, even Fabled!

Lastly, you can directly purchase 2-Visible Blazing Fireworks Themed Pets from the Diamond Shop with a guaranteed Restricted Wild Trait.

Listed below are examples of the Blazing Fireworks Themed Pets.

I'm not sure which is more exciting: the chance for all species to have super max projects, or the fact that all species will now have LG restricted traits! Very exciting either way! Sounds like it'll be a fun Patriotic fest this year, Krin ^__^

Definitely that all pets can be super max xD

So exciting! Curious if the Blazing Fireworks themes will count under lost grove perfumes or if they increase the chances of finding only LG themes?

I still don't have the lost grove.. Oh well ill get there eventually

Super excited for the event!

Since a lot of the new traits utilize A1/2 color slots, is there a possibility that Blazing Fireworks themes will get proper accent hexes?

I feel like they're missing out on some nice gradients with the brilliantly plain white accents ;-;

some suggestions

vs current

ooh, so if I defeat Elaine, Oakstout and Malfy, I will be guaranteed three BF pets? Yay! Will have to definitely start taunting and beating them up...

Is the Lost Grove only accessible if you've unlocked it on the map through story progress?

If so this event sure isn't friendly for new players. I can't really participate in the Combat or Conservation parts as my account is only 54 days old and I haven't progressed on the map enough yet. How disappointing.

I can take a look over them all, but it won't be until after this weekend. I will try and look and push updates (if needed) next week.

If any Themed are updated, players would have the option of freely updating any of their existing Themed to the new colors.
