Here is the official announcement thread for the 2017 Fortune Festival Mini Event!
Start Time: Friday, March 17th at 12:00 PM
End Time: Sunday, April 2nd at 11:59 PM
Festival Bulletin Board
The Fortune Festival is a mini Event held every as the season begins changing from winter to spring. It is the time where Sylestians celebrate everything that they are fortunate for in their lives.
In order to celebrate this joyful time, we will be having a mini event with lots of great available prizes including Themed Pets, Avatar Items, and new Pet Traits!
New Genes and Mutations Released
We have released new Genes and Mutations in celebration of this year's Fortune Festival!
Species: Sylvorpa
Restricted Traits Slot: Gene Three, Mutation One, Mutation Two, Mutation Three
Name: Water Dragon Runes, Water Dragon Fins, Water Dragon Wings, Water Dragon Horns
Species: Qitari
Slot: Mutation Three
Name: Feathered Wings
*Feathered Mane from Mutation Two included below; also improved to match the new Wings*
Kismet Water Dragon Themed Pet
The Kismet Water Dragon Themed Pet will be available for the duration of this event! It can be obtained by either purchasing the [Kismet Water Dragon Eggling] from the Diamond Shop for 1,000 Diamonds, by winning it from playing The Lucky Pot, or by obtaining one as a rare drop from a Pooka Trickster.
These Themed Pets contain the Restricted Trait set that includes Water Dragon Runes, Water Dragon Fins, Water Dragon Wings, and Water Dragon Horns.
Restricted Trait Disruptor
A brand new item being added into the Game, the Restricted Trait Disruptor allows players to add Restricted Traits to most any Exclusive, Bred, or Tamed Pets of the Species that the Philter represents.
Previously, Restricted Traits were only available from the specific Themed Pet that carried those Traits. Now, you will have the option of adding in these Traits to all sorts of other Pets; barring a few restrictions.
These Philters will carry the following restrictions:
-Can only be used on a Pet that does not have any Traits of the Restricted Set.
-The Trait added is randomly selected from the Restricted Set.
-When used, one random Visible non-Restricted Trait is removed. If the selected Trait from the Restricted Set is in a slot where a Trait already exists, it replaces that Trait. If no Visible non-Restricted Traits are available, the item cannot be used.
-Can only be used on Exclusive, Tamed, or Bred Pets of the valid Species.
So, as a specific example, the Philter available for now is the [Restricted Trait Disruptor (Sylvorpa: Water Dragon)]. The following must be true to use this Philter:
-The Pet must be a Sylvorpa
-The Pet must be either an Exclusive, Bred, or Tamed Pet
-The Pet must not already have a Carried or Visible Water Dragon Trait
-The Pet must have at least one Visible non-Restricted Trait
-The Pet must have a valid slot available for a new Water Dragon Trait. Valid slots are slots that are either empty or Visible non-Restricted Traits. Carried Traits are invalid.
Lucky Mutator
Similar to the [Lovely Mutator] from the Week of Love Event, The Lucky Mutator acts as a regular Mutator item and must adhere to the same restrictions, however, it allows the player to select a specific Fortune Festival Inspired Trait to add to their Pet. This includes the Restricted Trait Lucky Dust, as well as Lucky Runes.
Lucky Mutators can be purchased from the Diamond Shop for 300 Diamonds or purchased from the Festival Shop for 300[Shamrocks]. They can also be won by playing The Lucky Pot.
The Lucky Pot Scratch Card has returned! The goal of the game is to scratch off prizes and match 3 like prizes to win that prize. However, there are a few twists that help make the game more fun and help to award more prizes!
Themed Bonus Bar: The most prominent feature of the game is the Themed Bonus Bar. For each game that you play where you do not win a Themed Pet, this bar will fill up. As it fills up, the chances of you winning a Themed Pet increase! Once you win a Themed Pet, the bar resets and you can fill it up again. This not only helps to award more Themed Pets, but also helps to prevent long draughts without winning.
Rollover Prizes: For the lesser prizes of the game, the amounts that you find from previous games roll over to future games. For example, this means that if you only uncover 2 of one of these prizes, this will rollover to future games and you will only require one more to win that prize. This feature helps to ensure that you can continue winning constant prizes over multiple games.
Bonus Scratches: Find two of a big prize but run out of Scratches? Well you can purchase a bonus and get 4 additional Scratches to find that third match!
Everyone* also gets one Free Play on us! All you have to do is just visit the page and play; completely for Free! No gimmicks either - it is the full game. Nothing is changed at all for your Free Play!
* = You must have completed exploring all of the Zones in Viridian Meadows to claim your Free Play.
Pooka Tricksters
For the duration of this event, players can encounter Pooka Tricksters roaming through the zones in Astryl's Vale. These zones include Sweet Blossom Orchard and Astryl's Tranquillity.
Pooka Tricksters have a chance at dropping an entire set of unique Avatar Items (the 'Natural' suffix), a large quantity of [Shamrocks], and even the Kismet Water Dragon Sylvorpa Themed Pets.
Additionally, all enemies and nodes inside these zones also have a chance at dropping [Shamrocks].
Lucky Dust
Lucky Dust, the Restricted Trait for all Species that was added last year, is now available once again! It can be selected while generating any pet from now through the end of the Fortune Festival event. Alternatively, it can be added to any eligible pet via a [Lucky Mutator].
Festival Shop
https://www.sylestia.com/shops/holidayshop/#shop
You can use the [Shamrocks] that you collect and then spend them in the Festival Shop. Available in the Festival Shop are [Lucky Pot Free Play Vouchers], [Lucky Mutators], [Retired Week of Love Avatar Item Boxes], and a unique set of Avatar Items!

Use this on any Themed Pet of the appropriate species, in this case Sylvorpa, to add a random Restricted Water Dragon Trait. If the specific Pet already has a Trait in that slot, it will be replaced with the new Restricted Trait. If it does not have a Trait already in that slot, it will lose one of its other Traits (selected at random).
Will the restricted trait mutators have any additional exceptions other than species? I'm wondering if Exclusive Themes are included since they currently can't be mutated at all. :)
And can this item be held onto to be used in the future? Like with a new Sylvorpa theme that doesn't exist yet?
Edit: I also can't help but wonder if this will be restricted to pets that haven't been bred yet? (Which would kinda suck...)

Oh man those Sylvorpas so pretty.. Let's hope I come across a bad guy this event. Last event I didn't come across one...was so disappointed..

I'm just going to wait to give specifics until it's coded in. There's a few things we still have to figure out.
Just kinda know the basics of how it will work atm.
I'm going to get the Lucky Mutator set up here first and then the new philter later tonight.

Are the tricksters 'more battles = higher chance of encounter' like the WoL ones eventually were?
