Spring 2024 Holiday Hills!
Spring 2024 Holiday Hills!
Spring Holiday Hills will end on April 30th at 11:59 PM EST!
Extensions given out for this Holiday Hills will end on May 7th at 11:59 PM EST!
In light of all of the natural disasters that have ravaged the land -- including our very own beloved Ethovalon -- there is just too much work to be done. All over the Great Ocean, dungeons and settlements alike have felt the effects of the bizarre weather strange behaviour among their peers. With all the affected communities and work to be caught up on, this year's Spring Holiday Hills may have to be be skipped over...
...but Chronos isn't going to let that happen!
This year, instead of lighting up the Holiday Hills with festive cheer, Chronos has decided it's time to take the joy and celebrations across the sea and above the clouds! The rescuing, surveying, and pursuit of opportunistic criminals has been taken care of. Now, it's time to start rebuilding properly!
🌱 Springtime Restoration 🌱
This year's Spring Holiday Hills is not confined to the Hills themselves this time! Instead, we're going global!
The event does not feature the usual dungeon conjured up and specially set at the Holiday Hills. Instead, Dungeon submissions may feature any Dungeon -- that's right -- any dungeon from the existing Dungeon List however you will need to draw them with a "springy", renewed theme!
Think of how nature may look in the calm after the storm. What kinds of flowers are blooming in the dungeons? How are the GCSF helping restore and rebuild some of these places? Is your team sowing seeds to replace the destroyed flora in the area? Is your team checking in on the inhabitants of the dungeon and their homes? Are you relaxing and taking in the spring breeze, the gentle showers, and the sun now that it's finally starting to shine again? Are you helping by doing some good, old-fashioned spring cleaning?
What would a broken environment look like as it now begins to heal?
(If you prefer to make up your own environment like a traditional Holiday Hills Dungeon, you are also free to do so using the moodboard below as inspiration!)
🌟 Recruitable Pokemon 🌟
Flowering Vullaby | Vagabond Mimikyu | Holi Festival Furfrou | Verdant Spring Pachirisu | Pure Water Pourer Bombirdier | Flower Bud Bonsly
Snivy | Lotad | Gossifleur | Budew | Poliwag
There are 6 special Seasonal Variants in this dungeon!
If you recruit any Seasonal Variant Pokemon, their feral design must be somewhat similar to the reference! If you wish to deviate slightly from its design, you must post it in the #design-check channel for approval. However, once they evolve, their design is up to you!
For more on Variants, see the Potions & Variants page!
💚 You are free to depict the Dungeon using aesthetics from other, existing places on the Dungeon List or you can make up your own environment like a traditional Holiday Hills Dungeon using the moodboard above as inspiration!
💚 Note that despite the freedom to depict any Dungeon as the primary environment in this Holiday Hills, recruits are only rolled from the above Pokemon and you still cannot use your Monthly Items on these Dungeons!
💚 Like a regular dungeon, the Holiday Hills Dungeon is completed in Feral Form!
💚 Up to 4 characters belonging to teams may be present!
💚 Poke and Candy rewards are capped at maximum 7 characters shown (ex.: 4 player characters and 3 NPCs)!
💚 There is no Difficulty Level for Holiday Hills so characters of all levels are welcome!
💚 No levels are gained in this dungeon and no items can be brought in (though Poke Radars can be used after a piece is graded)!
💚 Please note that for a character to count for rewards, at least a full headshot (or equivalent amount of the character) must be visible. We always encourage you to do your best! The restrictions may be tightened if these rules are abused. Please put genuine effort into your pieces and try not to spam out rushed work! For more information, see Additional & Updated Restrictions.
These event prompts are for characters in Human/Gijinka form!
Prompts done with Ferals won’t count for Candy but can be submitted for Poke!
Please be sure to include the Task Name in your description!
These tasks are repeatable for rewards so Attempt Number isn’t required!
This Holiday Hills, you'll receive a little treat for completing all 3 of the available Tasks!
To claim your reward for doing all of them, make sure they've all been submitted to the group and then link them all in a post in #inventory!
01 | Annual Ethovalon Egg Hunt
Although this Holiday Hills comes with more work than play, who’s to say we can’t have a little bit of fun with a grand ol’ egg hunt? Spend the day painting eggs of all kinds of colors, and then hunting them down as you unleash your inner child!
02 | Color Splash
Spring is always so colorful! How about we make it even more colorful? Using a non staining water and paint mixture, it’s time to paint the town red (or blue, or green, or whatever color your heart desires)! Be careful though, you may wind up in the colorful turf war if you try to join in!
03 | After the Cold, There is Life
After a long, cold winter for almost everyone in the Great Sea, it’s time to bring some color back to the world and replant the trees and flowers destroyed in the devastating blizzards. For every tree the GCSF plants, all proceeds will be given to those impacted around the Great Sea!
In addition to receiving the normal amount of Poke for your Submission, you'll also gain the event currency Candy which you can use to purchase special items from the Holiday Hills shop!
