Event Basics

Coigreach presents a variety of new mechanics and features to explore all throughout the month! They aren't all available right away -- stick around all month long to get the most of what the event has to offer.

A lot of this event is driven by a storyline that progresses over the course of the month, but some other parts of the event are tied to specific dates rather than moments in the story.

Event Mechanics

Much of the Coigreach event can be seen through normal gameplay. There is not currently a way to disable event content, so every player will be participating in the event in some capacity.

Exploring

In order to progress in the event's storyline and collect currency for the shop, you must explore. Many new, event-exclusive explore encounters begin showing up as soon as November starts!

Most event explore encounters will reward the player with Smoky Quartz , the event's currency used to purchase items from the shop. Some other explore encounters, however, grant special rewards. As the player progresses in the storyline, explore encounters will change, appear, and disappear according to what's required in the story.

Every event-specific explore encounter is listed on the [this forum post].

In addition to being able to find Smoky Quartz, certain explore encounters also grant additional rewards.

For example. the Clover Wolf encounter rewards the player with one random event herb if you beat them in battle. Cave encounters, which involve following a wisp through a cave, will provide Smoky Quartz Chunks.

Storyline

This event's storyline can be accessed through the [Event] page, by clicking on the [Coigreach] banner.

The storyline is not required, but is recommended for anyone interested in the event.

The storyline consists of two parts: the base storyline, and a storyline extension added in 2022. Completion of the base storyline will reward the player with one of two base applicators, Clover or Moss, depending on which ending they choose. Completion of the storyline extension, which begins on 20th November, will reward either Wisp or Annwn.

In order to complete the storyline, players are required to rollover at least 2 times -- there is a 1-rollover waiting period after the first part of chapter one and another 1-rollover waiting period at the end of chapter one. After this, chapters open up on specific dates. Chapter Three begins on November 5th, Chapter Four begins on November 10th, and Chapter Five begins on November 15th. You can start the storyline any time after these dates, as long as you allow yourself about a week before the end of November to complete the rollover waiting periods and find storyline explore encounters.

The storyline expansion begins on 20th November.

A complete transcript of the storyline is available further down in this guide.

Event Herbs

Throughout the month of November, you may notice that your herbalist is bringing back some new and unusual herbs! These herbs, which all originate from Europe, do not have any use right now aside from crafting nesting materials. It was implied in the Coigreach [announcement post] that the herbs will serve some more function later, so we would recommend saving them!

These herbs cannot be exchanged for at the herbalist, but they can be used to exchange for other herbs.

Elfwort

English Marigold

Evening Primrose

Meadowsweet

Nettle Leaves

White Clover

Unique Event Items

A few new items were added during 2022 Coigreach! These items can be obtained through Coigreach-specific explore encounters, and none of them currently have a use.

For details on how to get each item, you can search the item's name on [this guide]!

Currency & Shops

Currency & Shops

This month brings a new exclusive currency, Smoky Quartz!
Smoky Quartz, or SQ, can be found while exploring, from event-specific explore encounters. Certain encounters may give more Smoky Quartz than others depending on which options are picked. It can also be obtained by completing favours.

Smoky Quartz is used to purchase items from the event shop.

Tiers of the event shop are opened on specific days throughout the month, and a unique set of items is unlocked with each tier.

Large Smoky Quartz Chunks

Large Smoky Quartz Chunks can be obtained rarely while exploring during the nighttime, when following a wisp through a cave chain.

Selecting the Quartz Chunk in your hoard will prompt you to open the bundle, which has the chance to randomly drop 3, 4, or 5 Smoky Quartz, which will be added to your normal currency stash.

Badger Cave

This month's shop is run by two unusual visitors, a large badger and their small hedgehog friend!

Badger and HedgehogShopkeepers
Two strange creatures sit in front of a small den entrance with unfamiliar symbols etched onto the archway. The small, prickly hedgehog sniffs up at you curiously, while the larger badger watches you with a keen, kind expression.

A high-pitched voice speaks, and you notice it's coming from the ball of needles.

"We have brought wares! You might have noticed some crystals have started appearing - we like those. If you have any, you can trade them with us."


The items available in the Badger Cave are the same for every biome, and new tiers of the shop open up on specific dates. Once a new tier is open, the previous tiers will still be available.

Favours

Every rollover, the shopkeepers will ask you to complete a favour for them in exchange for some SQ.

Turning in a favour will always reward 5 SQ, no matter what the favour is.

The item that is asked for is randomized. Some possibilities include 5 herbs, 1 of each cave-building material, 1 amusement item, 1 critter carcass, or 1 medicine.
