A Swirl Of Sandust In The Air

Adventurers are all familiar with  sanDust— the sparkling, mystical blue substance that was originally discovered as the key to taming the fearsome mourning Grusim at Flamefall Cascades. The powers of sanDust go far deeper than winning the friendship of the Grusim, however: it’s full of magic that is drawn to adventurous energy! 

That means you can find and collect  sanDust all over Santae simply by going on your adventure: playing games, venturing into the wild to gather and fish, and even shopping. 

Amassing this valuable substance brings rich rewards! Vespera sells rare items in exchange for  sanDust at the sanDust Shop.

And right now, all of the adventure and excitement of discovering Halo Haven, celebrating the Ancient Echoes Festival, and more has caused a significant increase in the amount of  sanDust floating around!

The rate of sanDust collection around Santae is temporarily more than twice as high as normal!
Use this opportunity to explore, celebrate, and collect some rare items.

Double sanDust drops will continue through the 15th of December, 2024, 23:59 SST!

Disclaimer: Jar of SanDust is exempt from the boosted sD rates -- the amount earned from opening a jar is not affected by the x2 drop rate of sD

Plushie Palooza Begins: Quenaris Plushies Arrive!

Adventurers can expect loads of new plushies to be added to the Plushie Machine prize pool between now and 15th of December, 2024, 23:59 SST! Every two days a new batch of plushies will be added to the Plushie Machine.

A new batch of plushies will be added to the Plushie Machine and experience heavily boosted rates for approximately 48 hours. Boosted rates will cycle at 20:00 SST every second day!

To celebrate the bounty of  sanDust and Plushie Palooza, Vespera is stocking Plushie Machine Tokens at the sanDust Shop for 350  sanDust each! She is only offering this deal for the duration of these events!
