The Petals Stir Once More
As the season turns once more, a familiar sweetness returns to the breeze.
Across
Luminary Meadows, petals have begun to stir again, drifting on warm winds and gentle magic. Where the land had grown quiet, the signs of
Heartsong are unmistakable.
Blossombreeze Petals and Roseweaver Petals are always present within Santae, but during Heartsong their presence becomes far more widespread. As the festival begins, these blooms appear with greater frequency across the land, carried by the heightened magic of the season.
The
Great Berry Tree and the
Shadow Berry Tree stand at the center of this shift in magic. Adventurers who visit them will find petals appearing far more frequently than usual, a change brought on by the return of Heartsong rather than the introduction of something new.
While these petals can be found throughout the year, Heartsong heightens their presence. Each Adventurer finds themselves drawn more strongly to one bloom than the other. Some are attuned to the Roseweaver, others to the Blossombreeze. Only through cooperation and shared effort can both paths be fully explored.
Event Quests Return: Sweet Seasonal Rewards
As Heartsong fills the air once more, familiar festivities resume.
At the heart of the celebration,
Lylia Lollipop has reopened her seasonal
Event Quests, inviting Adventurers to help gather candies and flowers as part of the festival’s preparations. Her requests shift from day to day, each one a small task tied to the warmth and joy that
Heartsong brings.
For every Event Quest completed, Adventurers receive a Heartstitch Chest, sealed and filled with a selection of Heartsong treasures. These chests draw from a festive pool of rewards, offering a mix of familiar favorites and newly introduced items.
This year, the Heartstitch collection has grown. Heartstricken clothing has been added to the Event Quest reward pool, allowing Adventurers to earn new Heartsong attire through Lylia’s seasonal requests as the festival continues.
Event Quests may be completed multiple times each day and will remain available for the duration of the Heartsong Festival.
Event Quests Continue: Vixon’s Search for Love
While the festival thrives in the open air, another path unfolds more quietly.
For Vixon, Heartsong has always carried deeper meaning. As petals spread across Santae once again, he continues the ritual he began long ago, gathering Roseweaver Roses in the hope that they may one day lead him back to his long-lost love, Malyk.
Every six hours, Adventurers may visit Vixon and offer him a Roseweaver Rose. In return, he provides a gift drawn from his Eternal Heartsong collection, a reward shaped by the season but rooted in a story that extends beyond it. Alongside familiar Heartsong items, this collection now holds something new.
The Heartstruck rewards are bound exclusively to Eternal Heartsong. These items are not earned through Event Quests, nor do they fade when the festival ends. They are revealed only through continued exchanges with Vixon, as his search carries on.
The Roseweaver Grotto Stirs Once More
With
Heartsong’s return and petals once again widespread across
Santae, the magic surrounding the
Roseweaver Grotto has grown more active.
The Grotto itself has remained accessible year-round, but during
Heartsong its influence expands. Once the vine-covered entrance to the Grotto is cleared,
Roseweaver and
Blossombreeze Petals may be gathered not only inside the
Grotto, but foraging at
The Great Berry Tree or
Shadow Berry Tree!
To clear the entrance, an Adventurer must bring a pet capable of cutting through the tangled vines. Only pets with the Slash ability can open the way. Once cleared, the Grotto’s magic awakens fully for the season.
Inside the Grotto, petals respond to the time of day. During daylight, Roseweaver and Blossombreeze Petals can be combined to form Roseweaver Roses. At night, placing six Roseweaver Roses around the chamber activates the Grotto’s swirling magic.
That magic may be captured as Roseweaver Shimmer Dust, or used to permanently transform a pet into its Roseweaver form. This remains the only way Roseweaver pets can be created.

QoL Updates
Several quality-of-life improvements and fixes have gone live across Santae.
Quests have been fully repaired and should now function correctly across all devices. Gathering has also been improved, and using Scout Mixtures will no longer cause pages to reload during use.
The Berry Tree and Shadow Berry Tree have both received a QoL upgrade, including a new “Use All Fertilizers” option that allows you to apply the exact amount needed to complete a cooldown in a single click.
Inventory management has also seen notable improvements. Inventory, Cellar, and Quickstock now support additional filter and search options, including the ability to sort by quantity and filter by rarity in both Inventory and Cellar. The Cellar has also received expanded filtering by item type, along with new sorting options to make organizing larger collections easier.
In addition, the previous rarity changes affecting reward pools have been reverted for now. These updates will return alongside the upcoming leveling system so both features can launch together as originally intended.
Finally, forum functionality has been restored. You can now once again add images to forum posts.
Thank you, as always, for your reports, suggestions, and continued support as we work to improve the overall experience across Santae.
Stay Kind. Stay Magical.
