A lot of us misremembered the dates and thought the zone closed on the 20th. Now we're scrambling like crazy people to get enough agents to finish our sculpts.

Or alternately, allowing sculptures to automatically progress like spring fest plants do, or possibly something like "all sculptures above 60% completion will be harvested for you at the end of fest".

The lack of autoprogression, along with the requirement to add the last agent yourself (though convenient when you're waiting to get supplies), is really what's killing people here, I think. Far more agents are needed when they don't grow on their own.

Agreed.
I might not even be able to finish what I have, let alone use any others I have and wanted. I'm sad. :'(
i also just picked up a midsummer puffadore I probably won't be able to finish.

I would dearly love autoprogression up until the final agent.

So, everything would progress without help until 92%, then the owner would need to apply the final agent and then harvest the pet.

This would allow people to plant pets, but still be able to apply things to them without accidentally having them complete before. (like I have two majestic catalysts I was hoping for prisma pearls for, so I haven't put any pearls on them right now, since i have to apply the final agent, I could theoretically wait until the last minute to 'complete' them so I have more time to try for a prisma pearl, with no danger of them completeing on their own and my only being able to 'collect' the pet at the end)

I will go ahead and extend the Festival Zone for 48 more hours. So Esior's Cove will now remain available through Tuesday, September 15th.

I know there's a lot of concern over the lack of Agents, so hopefully an extra couple days will help a bit. I will also try and make sure all of the Forum Game rewards are very plentiful with Agents.

I have also dropped the price of Sand Sculpting Agents in the Festival Shop down to 40 Sun Tokens each. This will be a permanent change for next year's Festival as well - assuming things stay the same.

Yay! Thanks Krin!

thank you Krin <3

Ooh a discount! Thank you!

This is just another idea on how to deal with the small amount of agents.
During Spring fest, there's the small basket of enrichments that only gives one agent at random, but there's also the large basket of enrichments that gives one of each. I found that I had a lot more agents during Spring because of it (though that might have also been because of auto progression), so maybe something similar for Summer fest in the future?

Thank you for extending the fest zone for this year and giving us a discount. c:

Thanks Kirn
