🍀Lucky Mars 2023

Overview:

Celebrate the luck of the Irish on Mars with our exciting Lucky Mars Event! This limited-time event features exclusive in-game items, unique crafting recipes, and an engaging theme centered around St. Patrick's Day. Players can immerse themselves in festive activities, grow lucky clovers, and create various themed items to show off their Martian holiday spirit.

Themed Crafting Recipes:

Players can use exclusive recipes to create St. Patrick's Day-inspired items such as Lucky Smoothies, Irish Soda Bread, and Green Irish Coffee. These recipes require various ingredients, including some that are event-specific, such as Clovers and Green Food Dye.

There will even be some limited time Cooking Classes you can take in the Library! (Starting Week - 2)

Clover Planting

Players can purchase a Lucky Mars Seed Pack containing Clover Seeds and plant them on Mars. By nurturing the plants with Water and Soil, players can grow Clovers that have a small chance of yielding a rare Four Leaf Clover. If you find a Four Leaf Clover, you can exchange it for a random sellable event recipe.

Leaderboards:

During this event we'll be hosting a Ranked and Raffle style leaderboard each week. For a total of 4 Leaderboards ( 2 Each Week) Players will receive a weekly mission with quick actions they can use to make their choice between the Ranked or Raffle style leaderboard that they would like to participate in for that week. So choose wisely! Expect to see a large amount of Dusk as the rewards for these leaderboards, we'll be feeding a significant amount of Dusk from the Event sales back into the leaderboard prize tables!

The Ranked leaderboards will offer better rewards. Players have two separate weeks to choose their preferred leaderboard style, but can only participate in one type on a given week.

Players can earn points on the Leaderboard by turning in Lucky Items!
