Subeta -

July 28, 2009 4:14 pm

In the previously unnamed <a href=/explore/unknown.php>Omen Islands</a> a celebration has taken place every year, one to thank the goddess of the sea for her protection over the past year, and to give her offerings to ask for prosperity and guidance in the seas for the next year. This celebration was always closed off to non-native Omen Islanders, but this year, they have opened up their home and hearts to celebrate their culture with the rest of Subeta.

Starting today, Subetans can be a part of this festival in <a href=/explore/beach.php>Delphi</a> as well as in the <a href=/explore/unknown.php>Omen Islands</a> themselves, if they know the way. Celebrate the power of water by <a href=/forums/forum/123>soaking your friends</a> with water balloons and pistols, sold by a festival vendor named <a href=/explore/facepaint.php>Noijatat</a>. While you're visiting her, why not have her paint your face in typical Omen Islander fashion?

If you find a golden trinket or relic, it's said to bring good fortune and prosperity to give such items to the goddess of the sea. <a href=/explore/gold_turnin.php>Moana</a> has set up an area on the coast of the Omen Islands to accept such items and offer you a small reward for your generosity.

In the spirit of celebration, the Islanders would like to wish you, "Yeyei'i ao vivi natatl,, which roughly translates to "Live the life of the sea." Have fun!

Thank you for the tip on the map.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This is such so much fun. Been having a blast. Thank you!

she is very pretty amazing art!!!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

cool n.n oh, I wish I have the map T_T now i cant go anything with the gold

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

LOVE the face paint, trinkets, NPC art!

puzzled One thing I don't get: why are all the soaking items different prices if they all do exactly the same thing?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

She is exquisite.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

You could always send the trinket/relic to a trusted friend that has completed the map to exchange it for you. I have the map completed, and would be willing to help anyone exchange it no-charge. If I don't give you the exchanged item, feel free to report me. Just trying to help out ~ <3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

So in brief, since i don't have the complete map, I should just sell the trinkets? I get one, like, every 10-20 seconds O_o

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

They jacked up the price of the cheapest balloon to 1,500 sP! >.<

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yay! They had some markings that looked like Axel's (From Kingdom Hearts 2), so I did a PotC version of him.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

QUOL! But what are those golden things floating around on subeta?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh shut up all you whiners for not having the map completed. If you have an issue go to Keith or complete the map, if the map wasn't there as an issue, then the event would be too easy. That's the point people, it's a challenge.

And probably to make having the map WORTH IT since Riptides retired.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

sexy NPCs. EVEN NOIJATAT.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I just realized that whenever the staffs dress up funny, there's a new event. I'm so stupid... THANKS FOR THE EVENT!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The same person who does the tattoos also sells the items for the water fight. So putting her on the island would mean people who didn't have the map completed could not only get the tattoos, they also couldn't participate in the fight. I think it's fair that everyone still gets the trinkets, even if they can't turn them in. Because then they can sell them to those who CAN turn the trinkets in, and then use that gold to buy the items they would have gotten from the trinkets.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't think needing the uncharted lands is unfair, but it is unfair that the trinket turn in is there. Put the face painting on the Uncharted Island, but if the trinkets are random events for everyone it is EXTREMELY unfair that not everyone can turn them in.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

: Oh, I mean that it's random (like the RE) but not as rare as those. I got a couple so far. Lost one due to site crashing. ^^;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Never mind, I found out; you get the same item every time you turn in the same trinket/relic.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I hear what you're saying about REs, but I think I've gotten 6 in the last 15 minutes.

To LunarRose, it was nice of you, but I have as well as

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Seems I'll get all achievements save those having to do with trinkets. Ah, maybe next year, as another said.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I've just used 60k to change the face paint on my HA, and it hasnt changed, what ticket do I fill out? T^T

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hmmm guess like all RE's Im going to be SOL

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

: They are random, so it's all luck... just like the other random events. Refreshing pages should increase the chance to get them.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

If you turn in a certain trinket/relic to Moana, will you get a specific item?

For example: if you turned in a ... Gold Meditating Bear Trinket, and got an item- If you get another Gold Meditating Bear Trinket and turn it in, will you get the same item, or another?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Sorry about the double post. The lag was causing problems and I didn't realize I had until after.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

How often are these trinkets supposed to be found??? I have yet to get one?? Are they really rare?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

thanks and LadyTerentia

: click the link "soaking your friends" at this announcement, choose a topic, choose an user then click "Soak this User!" at left, under username.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

To take part in the water fight, first you have to purchase water fighting items from the shop: http://subeta.net/explore/facepaint.php?act=items I'd suggest getting the cheapest, as you use it up and have to get a new item each time you want to attack another player. Then go to the event forum: http://subeta.net/forums/forum/123 View any thread here. Under each user's HA will be a link that says "Soak this User!". Click on that and you will use one of your items (water balloon or water pistol). Each click WILL use up one of the balloons or pistols- they are not reusable. So you will have to keep buying more if you want to keep soaking other users.

To: Reibutts

It is when there is only a handful of games you play and you aren't on the site too often. I just checked the pieces are way out of my league.

To: LadyTerentia or anyone who knows, how do you take part in the water fight? I cannot figure that out.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Missing one piece of the map...;____;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

But for the newer users, it's very hard to get millions in a couple of days - and certainly the map pieces will get more expensive while the event is running. So it's meaningless for them that "the map's out for so long".

Oh well... it's just one achievement I, for example, won't get. Not that I care actually. goes to buy more balloons

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think this event is partially due to many/some users not liking the Hydrus pets. It's an added incentive (in addition to the vending machine) to get the Map completed so you can get to the Island. Users have been requesting more be added to the Island, so I think this event fits the requests wonderfully! If you can't complete it in time for the event this year, there is always next year. And there ARE parts of the event you can still participate in- you can get your face painted and you can join the water fight. If you find trinkets, even though you can't turn them in, you can sell them in your user shop and use the gold you earn to buy the items people get from turning in the trinkets.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Woohoo! Awesome new event ^^

The offering of trinkets and relics kinda reminds me of The Road to El Dorado,

"To Shibalba!!"

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's not very hard to make SP, really :U;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I have the same problem as you, Betelgeuze. I found one trinket, and the only thing I think I'll be able to do with them is sell them. I have no hydrus pets, and the map pieces are so expensive.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't think it's unfair. We've had the map out for years, and you can enjoy a fair amount of the event without it.

If you're interested in the rest, you can buy the pieces. We've also increased the frequency that they are going out .

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Uh, I personally dont think its fair to make an event which can fully enjoy only users who completed the Uncharted Land Map. I never even thought of completeing it, I dont like Hydrus pets, and now I cant take the trinkets to Moana...
