-LOCKED - JUNE EVENT
Posted on 2017-05-31 19:56:38
June Event!
Despite dry seasons, the storms have been relentless and kept on bringing heavy fronts and rainy days all over Lioden lands. Rainfall won't stop, it is even worsening now, and tribal shamans decided to help out nature and conjure animal spirits to stop the storms before they produce massive floods!

At the start of every hour, Sangoma shamans will invite you to join a ritual - you need to give them a rawhide for drums! You can acquire one from any carcass that is warthog size or bigger - upon using it, you will notice the option to turn it into rawhide.

With this gift, you will be able to participate and donate goats for sacrifice. You don't have to, but the more goats, the better the effect of the ritual :O
As more lions enter, the ritual progress will change and you will see the Sangoma dancing and calling the spirits. If the ritual is complete, you will receive a reward, and the floodmeter will slow down.
If the ritual fails, the Sangoma will decide to help animals that floods and storms have hurt instead, and you will have to wait another hour until their services open up again! You will also see a message that the water levels are rising!

Rainmeter will grow slowly every thirty minutes. When it reaches the end, a Flash Flood will appear and you will receive a message! You have 10 moves to find some cool stuff in that area before it floods completely. Just click on the image! BROKEN DRONES AMIRITE?

If the Flash Floods keep repeating, the Floodmeter will raise, and that's a serious scare! When it maxes out, terrible things will happen in explore for some time, and a ton of encounters will be very difficult, specially battles! :O your lions will also be drowning! - their image will show water!

Every Massive Flood should also reshuffle Floodpit (June shop) items.

The season will stay wet for whole month! You can also find more goat herds around as humans want to enjoy the greener, wet grass all around and get the fattest milk. ;D

The currency you're gathering are Dive Beetles. You can see them on the sidebar. You can access shop nonstop, but there's a thing:
With each flood the shop's items will randomize, simulating otters gathering loot - and only shows 5 at any time.

CRAFTING
After you complete 200 rituals total, a Crafting Area will open for lions in Sangoma area.
The human shamans will let you bring things here every year in June to get exclusive decors!
From previous year:
30x Lion Skull - Skull Pauldrons
30x Pangolin Scale - Pangolin Ornaments
2017:
30x Rawhide - Seer's Hood

FLOODPIT

Floodpit received a tweak this year:
It will remain open as before, but items will be now showing as unique randomized set to each player, just like Boneyard items in January. They will reshuffle with each massive flood (You have to ask the Otter what new items appeared, first).
They can also be reshuffled with special Reshuffle Tokens.

Sangoma Oya
Per your voting and poll results, we have added quests without lore in 2017.
New banner with Sangoma Oya will give you access to a small area with new NPC that will offer you a choice of three difficulties for daily quests.
Each difficulty will grant the same experience payout for completing the quest alone (it adapts to your level), but depending on your choice, the currency reward (Dive Beetles and Reshuffle tokens) will be more abundant as the difficulty grows.

Oya will ask for items such as Drowned Hyenas, Goat Carcasses, Rawhides or Phantom Quartz (new item found in Explore, solely for this quest), etc, sometimes she will ask you to defeat hard enemies or to participate in a Ritual.

Just like in May, the daily quests reset at rollover.
You can also pay 50 SB to change a quest you got into another one from same difficulty.

From what I heard, the lucky feet won't really work with the Defeat Enemy quest type. You gotta do it with your own paws, man.

Summary + 2017 tweaks:
- Shop stays open nonstop, items randomize each flood.
- Reshuffle tokens are stored as player's currency useful for reshuffling the items in Floodpit!
- Floods are harsh. While animals suffer in real life, you won't really suffer from gameplay, but some food items might get swept away by the flood upon every rollover.
- New items such as Cloudburst Stains and new decors will appear as the month progresses, as there are no tiers. The dates they will unlock are shown in the descriptions.
- Flash Flood image will randomize, we will add an illustration every year! Microburst Flood added this year.
- June is a month where Gems are being washed away by floods and thus not really able to be found in Explore.
- Explore gets two new goat encounters to supply you with needed goat carcasses. One of the encounters, depending on your choice, has special chance of producing a random domesticated carcass type, including GMO chicken!
- Cloudburst Markings will be a new addition to the usual Applicators. You will receive one of four random markings in your chosen slot and opacity. The Cloudburst markings are cutout from non-existing base that looks like this:

The base is not planned to be in game other than a colour for June markings, but maybe we'll change our minds in future. The markings will appear in wardrobe at later time,

The event starts on June 1st 00:00 am and will end on June 30th, 11.59 pm. Currency carries over to next year.

June 1st
Remember about June 1st, international Child's day!
Exclusive decors are baby cubs and they will be in Monkey Shop whole June 1st.

I have to say, I joined during this event last year and I never once saw water on my lions.

Love the look of cloudburst, excited to get my hands on that marking app :)

Also really glad that there is a way of reshuffling the flood shop now. That drove me slightly nuts in the past having to just hope there would be a massive flood and the right items would come up, especially towards the end of the month when time is running out to grab stuff. Great addition!

No offence intended, I am an artist, so I know how much work goes into them, but... Personal opinion, there isn't really a lot of difference between the old Goats and the New Goats. Okay, the White (off-white) herd has completely changed color, but the lines aren't really any batter or different from what they were.

I do have to say though- I've never seen the first goat. In all of last year's event, I never encountered it once. It was always the other goat. Which is what makes that one stand out the most.

On the Cloudburst- Why are so many of the event bases Black phase? It seems like nearly ALL the Black special bases are event applicators of some kind, be they gems or beetle purchases.

Xy - I understand the input on art. They are not meant to be drastically different, just better in anatomy. This was very, very rushed in 2014 and it's visible. I am very happy with new art replacements.

As for bases - there's a genetic document you can find in forums or ask staff for. The bases are pretty balanced out to me, with many more coming.

AvalonAri: The Trading Center is already back up. There was no mention of it in this news post because it was purely for announcing the June event. :)
