πͺ Current events: πͺ
EVENT 1: Trick-or-Treat!
Happy October everyone. Cloakats love to celebrate the month by going around in costumes and showing them off for candy in exchange. You can do this too!
Check out our Trick-or-Treat daily, where you can trick or treat once a day for a trick ooorrrr treat in exchange!
- You can collect these candies to sell for a little bit of shards, or go to the crafting area to make cool things out of the candy items!
- On rare occasion, other areas around the site might drop candy, so keep your nonexistent Cloakat eyes peeled for some sweet treats!
- Completing Festival activities below as well as the battober prompts also rewards you with candy!
- This event will last the entire length of October, so after October is over via site time, all candy will be removed from the drop pool and will no longer be collectable from activities.
- The candy and items you collect during this time will permanently stay in your inventory and will not be removed after the event is over, so fear not!
EVENT 2: Pumpkin Patch
During the month of October, creatures love to go to pumpkin patches to collect pumpkins to either consume or decorate with.
When one pays a small fee to pay the farmer, they can then go through the patch and collect a pumpkin of their liking.
- Players can collect a pumpkin once a day and then go to your inventory and "open" the pumpkin to "carve" it.
- There are a few different faces one can collect and are random upon carved. Right now, each of the 5 available pumpkins you can gather has the "happy" option. More will come in the future.
- This mechanic is strictly for fun and to collect! Any items collected from this event will not be removed from the player's inventory after the event ends.
- Any items collected from this event will not be removed from the player's inventory after the event ends.
- You can also turn in pumpkins in the crafting area for a prize box with limited edition holiday items (these items return yearly for October)
- This event is specific to October and will no longer be available after the last day of October yearly.
EVENT 3: Battober art/writing prompt
Cloakats is hosting our own version of drawtober prompts! For these prompts offered daily, complete ONE (1) drawing a day and submit it for a nice hefty sum of shards as well as the usual festival ticket per each day you complete. That means you could get 1 festival ticket a day, which would be 31 total, woah! This will last until November 5th to account for burnout and overflow.
For each of these prompts, draw or write about your Cloakat and/or their companions doing something related to the prompts provided!

Participating in the Monthly prompt, specifically, will get you a unique item exclusive to this festival.
During festivals, we announce a list of activities that community members can complete for fun and turn in for festival tickets, a currency exclusive to completing these activities. This currency can be turned in at the Festival Booth shop for surprise "loot" boxes that have themes to them. Sometimes direct items can be exchanged for tickets as well, so please be sure to check the shop monthly as the stock can sometimes rotate. On the occasion that something new is stocked, it will be noted here in the news! Please note that most of these activities are quite easy so they can be fun and relaxing for community members to interact with, so please be sure to take your time and fave fun!

β Fun Facts: β
- The Cloakats island, known as Moonset Island is a rather huge landmass, it surprises a lot of outside inhabitants as to how many different types of biomes are on it. But it is just as surprising to hear that their Island is probably the smallest landmass on their entire planet, quite possibly only taking up 5% of the world's actual size. This includes the landmass that floats up and off their island as well. The closest 2 landmasses to their island is Khaki and the Land of the Divine, both being more than 10 times Moonset Island's size each.π¨ Site Tweaks: π¨
