Super Adventure Festival

Moto's world-renowned Super Adventure Box returns again when the Super Adventure Festival kicks off on March 29! Explore two worlds of excitement, peril, and educational entertainment to earn holographic weapons and a variety of loot.

Festivities begin on March 29 at 9 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) and continue until April 19 at noon Pacific Time (UTC-7) .

. A new achievement category, Super Adventure Box: Nostalgia, has been added, containing repeatable and once-per-year achievements for Super Adventure Box.

A new race event has been added in the Super Adventure Box hub. Show off your progress in jumping-based education!

Portals leading travelers to the Super Adventure Box hub have been temporarily activated in all major cities for the duration of the festival. Enjoy the sights and sounds of Rata Sum's most popular invention, but remember to play safe and avoid violating Peacemaker regulations.

Moto's Bug-Fix List

Players who have beaten World 1, Zone 1 will now see a shortened version of the opening scene when entering that zone. The full scene will always play in Infantile Mode for the enjoyment of progeny.

The /resign command can now be used in Super Adventure Box's worlds.

Players remaining in the Super Adventure Box hub when the festival ends will be redirected to their homeland.

Mesmers will no longer earn the Master Scrapper achievement for entering their home instance.

The Fine Dining achievement is now advanced by consuming Feast of Truffle Steak Dinner and Feast of Spicy Lime Steaks, rather than by learning the recipes for the feasts. Players who already received credit for learning the recipes do not need to consume the feasts.

BLACK LION TRADING COMPANY GEM STORE

New Items and Promotions

A new Elonian Beasts Dye Kit containing six exclusive colors is now available in the Upgrades category of the Gem Store for 125 gems.

For a limited time, the Bunny Ears, Wizard's Hat, and Furrocious Cat Ears return in the Style category of the Gem Store.

March Madness sales continue! Today's sale items are the Profane Light Armor Skin, Krytan Medium Armor Skin, and Primeval Heavy Armor Skin, which can be found in the Style category of the Gem Store for 250 gems each—a savings of 50%.

The employees of the Black Lion Stables have left the continent behind and scoured the Isle of Istan and beyond to make a whole new collection of mounts available to you. The new Istani Isles mount licenses are available in two varieties, and the collection contains fifteen new cosmetic options—three for each mount. With this collection, we are introducing a new option to purchase specific mount skins from this collection based on feedback from the community. Players will be able to obtain these skins from the Istani Isles—Mount Adoption License or the Istani Isles—Mount Select License. The Istani Isles—Mount Adoption License will allow you to claim a random mount skin from the Istani set and is available in the Style category of the Gem Store for 400 gems each. The Istani Isles—Mount Select License will allow you to choose a mount skin from the Istani set and is available in the Style category of the Gem Store for 1,200 gems.

The original Mount Adoption License proved to be a popular item for mount skin collectors, so we want to continue offering that same level of variety to players who enjoy it, while at the same time offering players a way to get the specific skin they want. As we explained in our previous message, offering a random-draw option makes it possible to design a wide variety of skins to suit every taste. We love seeing how players customize mount skins to suit their characters, and we hope you have as much fun using these skins as we did creating them. Special Note: The Istani Isles mount license set is entirely different from the original mount license set, which is still available. If you've unlocked all the skins from the original Mount Adoption License collection, and you still have unopened licenses left over, please contact Customer Support.
