.............TA2: Visiting the Tropical Atoll

To visit the Tropical Atoll, you will need to obtain a ticket. There are two different tickets allowing you access to the allod:

[Ticket to Tropical Atoll] can be purchased from any of the Travel Agents stationed in the faction capitals for 1 Special Silver Coin. Once you have your ticket, you'll need to visit the Travel Agent again either on the hour, or on the half-hour to travel to the atoll.

..................Image

[Travel Voucher] can be purchased from the Item Shop for 100 gPotatoes and will teleport you to the atoll instantly.

Once you're at the Tropical Atoll you can take part in a number of fun activities!




...........................TA3: Crab Racing

Image

Dodo the Crabber holds Crab races every 15 minutes that awards Tropical Presents.

To participate in Crab Racing, speak with Dodo shortly before the crab race begins to place your bet on a crab. Crabs can become susceptible to various status effects boosting or hindering their speed. To help your crab along, you can gather [Tasty Crab Treats].

[Tasty Crab Treats] can be gathered by opening prizes earned from participating in events on the atoll or by lifting heavy stones in the reefs at the bottom of the water. You'll need a friend to help you lift them though, they're quite heavy!

You will get a prize for participating in the crab race regardless of which place your crab finishes in, however the sooner your crab finishes, the more Tropical Presents you'll get. Speak with Dodo once the race has finished to receive your presents.




.......................TA4: Tipsy Marathon

Image

Bup the Glassy coordinates the Tipsy Marathon, and as expected he can be found over at the bars.The challenge of the Tipsy Marathon is to run from one bar to the next, stopping only to drink a cocktail at each. You can tell which bar you need to visit by the large purple arrow above it.

Cocktails can be brewed using fruit, which can be found around the resort or from prizes. Cocktails can also be purchased from bartenders for 1 Special Copper Coin each.

The Tipsy Marathon awards the new Sunny Paradise Parcels.



...........................TA5: Karah'Oki

Image

Ole the Hospitable hosts the Karah'Oki event, which can award all three types of gifts. To participate in Karah'Oki you must first have a Tropical Crown effect. You can get this effect by using the One-armed Bandit slot machines around the resort. Careful though - using the machine too much could cause you to temporarily lose some of your complimentary costume!

Image

Once you have your Tropical Crown effect and Karah'Oki has begun, you can use the context buttons at the bottom of your screen to sing along as Ole gives you cues and hints at what to sing next.

Additionally, using the fireworks you've collected during the Karah'Oki event will grant you bonus experience!



.....................TA6: Athletic Competition

Image

Zip the Wing-Footed runs the Athletic Competition that starts at the northern part of the resort. In this competition, adventurers are asked to run through a set track, passing checkpoints along the way. Those who are able to visit each checkpoint within the designated time will receive Moonlit Summer Gifts. If the race is completed in the first half of the hour it will award 2 gifts. Completing it in the last half will award 1. Additionally, you can now participate in the race up to 3 times every hour, instead of 5 times daily.

While running through the 10 checkpoints, you will be unable to use any abilities except those at the bottom of your screen. These abilities can be used to manage your weariness which is tracked through the Weary effect. Reaching 3 stacks of Weary will remove the ability to increase your speed until your breathing is back to normal. The abilities you can use to do this are:

Image

Impetuous Dash - Increases your running speed for 5 seconds and adds one stack of Weary. 7 second cooldown.

Breathing Adjustment - slows you down very slightly and removes 1 stack of Weary. 30 second cooldown.

Catch Breath - Removes 2 stacks of Weary, however you must remain still for 4 seconds to complete the cast. 60 second cooldown.

You can also stop and use the context action at refreshment stands to remove all stacks of weariness.


We hope you enjoy this summer at the Tropical Atoll!

I got a horse on my 10th box but what I really want is that polka-dot swimsuit.
I feel like the Tipsy Marathon should involve a timer and reward you more prizes based on completion time. Getting only 1 each time is sadface.

Seconded, Allods reward the lucky far too often imho. Since Tropical Atoll came out I've opened at least 200 gifts and no horse, spend all day their doing the events and nothing I want, but then in comes someone and they got it their first 5mins. Well... off I pop back to try some more :?

Tipsy Marathon should definitely hand out more gift boxes as that is the only competition that takes time and effort amongst the rest. Why it hands out 1 at a time, is still very confusing.

Journal #104 Day 3 year unknown.

It's day 3 and im still stuck on this Tropical Atoll, 18k gold all gone..all gone. I'm now scrapping for pocket change..the prices keep rising, if i ration it out i maybe able to hold on til Monday.

I've now come to the realization that this once beautiful paradise has now become my prison, I found a coconut which looks to have a friendly face on it, i call him Wilson, the laughs we have between each-other keep me from inches of insanity....But i can't help but wonder if i ever do leave this place, will i return back home ok? Time will only tell...

I've constructed a small fort behind a waterfall hopefully this will keep the native Gibblerings at bay, each night i hear them testing its strengths & weakness, i just don't know how long i can hold on..

If you find this journal without me near it then i have wondered off into the sunset, maybe to a better place, just me & my good friend Wilson but heed my warning traveller if you plan to go looking for rare costumes....Becareful Of Tropical Atoll. *Hiccup*

xD I just want a sunny costume =[
