I just opened a crate and it said:

"You open the Wooden Crate.
You have found 0 Gold!"

Is it supposed to give us nothing some of the time or did I just get a really weird glitch? *laughs* It was the one up at the top of the river if it matters.

That was a bug and it should now be fixed.

First crate I saw, it was next to where a placeholder or one of the boss type ones were, and there was no placeholder or boss - do crates replace these?

edit: and I had just re-entered the zone after not using the zone for hours.

One of the other areas where a placeholder/boss is supposed to be, I didn't see one even though there was no box, but it appeared after I moved around to a new screen. Maybe it takes a little bit of time for them to appear after I enter a zone, and I didn't catch that earlier (i.e. it could have nothing to do with the crates).

@Diaveborn,

Nodes and Named are separate spawns. They aren't dependent on each other.

When you exit a zone, all spawns reset. If you zone back in before nodes or named have spawned, they won't be there until they spawn.

A few things to note as the Summer Festival nears its end.

First off, we hope everyone has had a lot of fun the past two weeks and enjoyed both the Summer Festival and the new exploration system. We are working hard and as quickly as we can to get the 3rd region finished so that actual zones can be released under this system.

We will then go back and revamp Viridian Meadows and Umbra Forest to also use the new system so that all of our content is on par.

Secondly, we will extend the sale of Summer Festival Baskets through Monday July 22nd. Additionally, starting this Monday, we will add a deal for Summer Festival Baskets where you can buy 1 and get one free. Hopefully this can help users find their last missing Summer Festival items that they couldn't quite obtain during the festival.

Lastly, Fai and I will be out of town for the next week. We will still check in daily but our appearances will be limited during this time. We hope to have the 3rd region available within two weeks of our return. Because of this, we will most likely be unable to announce the prizes for the festival-long forum games or the custom quad vis Lighira until we return. So we would like to ask for your patience in that.

Thanks again for everyone who participated in the Summer Festival and we hope you look forward to the new content coming soon!

Thanks for the hard work, the summer festival has been really fantastic! I hope you guys have a safe trip!

Hi Guys, im new, and im trying to capture this new Lighira...Ive found it, fought it, but it didn't let me capture it..am I doing something wrong? can someone help me out with that? thankya

You need to purchase traps from a town market. When you have traps, you can use them during battle by selecting the trap you want to use and then selecting a target.

We have increased the chance of finding Patriotic Pets and Lighiras for the remainder of the festival.

The Summer Festival has ended.

Thank you all so much for participating during the past 2 weeks. We got a lot of great feedback regarding our new exploration system and it seemed like overall everyone liked it better than the current.

The Summer Festival Shop will remain open until 11:59pm on July 22nd.

Additionally, the Summer Festival Baskets will remain in the Diamond Shop until 11:59pm on July 22nd. The buy one get one free deal will also last for that duration.

For the Summer Festival Forum Games, we will not be able to 'grade' or hand out prizes until we return from vacation on the 22nd. So unfortunately everyone will have to wait a week to get the results of those. We apologize and promise we will get that done as soon as we can.

Thanks again for participating. We hope you had as much fun as we did!
