September Event (Locust Plague)

History Report

The land that had once been scarred by droughts and fires was made new as monsoons rolled across the terrain and ended the dry season with torrential rains and storms. New grass sprouted, trees became thick and heavy with new leaves, flowers blossomed, and new life was spread far and wide... Until a dark cloud descended on the land in a sudden swarm. This was a different kind of storm, one with wings and an insatiable appetite.

Desert locust thrived during the wet seasons with a burst of breeding activity, leading to swarms that filled the sky and nearly blotted out the sun entirely. Initially only the human lands were affected, but once the crops and other plants were devoured, the insects began heading towards the land of the lions. Their swarms induced fear into the migrating herds and drove them away in search of food as they devoured the new grasses and leaves on trees.

Killing the locust will stop them from devouring the land, bring back the migrating herds, and can help those all around you. There are some choices you can make while exploring that will affect the number of locust for the better, and there are some choices that are entirely selfish. What kind of choices will you make? What kind of lion are you?

Event Information

This event is highly focused on exploring.
The explore encounters exclusive to this month can be found in all biomes.
Your lion's karma and level, as well as the biome you explore in, do not matter for this event.

In September, the community is working to unlock four tiers of one bar.
The more locusts we kill in Explore and on player den pages, the faster the Prophet Shop tiers will be unlocked.
The first three tiers of the bar unlock items in the Prophet Shop, while the fourth tier releases special NCLs with September event-exclusive markings in Explore.

This month's currencies are Jewel Beetles and Eldritch Tokens.
Jewel Beetles can be gained in Explore, getting rid of locusts on player den pages, and completing quests with the Harbinger. Eldritch Tokens can be gained from completing quests with the Harbinger.

The September event launches on September 1st at 12am Lioden time and will end on September 30th at 11:59pm Lioden time. All unused event currency will be stored on your account until the next year.

Locust Swarms

During September, when you visit another player's den page, you'll come across the following prompt.

This poor lion has his den overrun with locusts! He's obviously useless at keeping them out. Maybe you should help?

STOMP!

CHASE!

Choosing to STOMP! shows this message.

You trample everything around and kill all locusts, leaving a bit of a mess for resident of this den. You found a shiny beetle for your collection! (+1 Jewel Beetle, -1 Karma)

Whereas choosing CHASE! will show this.

You chase the locusts away by running into the nearby vegetation. They fly away, and you leave the place clean and safe. You found a shiny beetle for your collection! (+1 Jewel Beetle, +1 Karma)

You do not need the 1,000 SB karma expansion tool from the Quests & Snakes page to see the +/-1 karma change. It will automatically show up.

You can stomp or chase locusts from other players' den pages every 30 minutes. While it doesn't offer much JB, it does add up over time, so be sure to set timers or sync it to your hunts! You should also try to stomp or chase players you see in the chat room, because if you go to an offline player's den page, you'll get this message.

This user isn't online, so you can't attack them. Boooo.

Players will be able to tell that you've stomped or chased locusts in their dens!
