Skyfire Festival 2025
Posted 5 days ago :: Last edited 5 days ago by NeonSlushie
Skyfire Festival
While the name is often localized as simply the "Skyfire Festival", native Haddu speakers will find themselves actively transliterating the individual parts of the festival's name as "Sky" and "glow" respectively, while debating the best way to try to convey the "B'" honorific from their language. Many choose simpler words for brevity, while other philosophies argue that simpler translations lack the poetry and reverence of the original Haddu language.

Event Currency & Collectables
The Skyfire Festival features its own event currency, which can be earned from prompts and activities. Blueprints can be purchased with event currency in the Skyfire Exchange to create limited-time collectables.
Glims
Glims, also known as Xhavrim in the Haddu language, these seasonal coins are used to participate in the Nevriset B'Xhadari. Each coin is considered its own work of art as they are still hand engraved and inlaid by the Haddu themselves. It can be exchanged for a variety of event specific items at the Skyfire Exchange shop or saved between events.
Collectables
✨ A special set of collectables are available during the event!
Spend your Glims wisely; each player can only craft one of each jewelry piece using the Blueprints available in Skyfire Exchange.
Each piece of jewelry is needed in order to trade them for the Nevriset B'Xhadari Badge. This means that to start, you will only be able to collect either the Badge or the Jewelry Collectable Set, not both! You'll have to return to next year's Skyfire Festival in order to complete the other collection.✨
Crafting, & Foraging!
All players will be able to claim free weekly Festival Jars at the Skyfire Exchange - open them for a chance at rare currency and more!! Additionally, users can use blueprints to craft additional Jars! Log in daily to forage and get all items needed to craft them.
Each Jar always contains:
- 1 Astatine
Each Jar will also contain 1 of the following:
- 1 Hake Nut, Spikul Fruit or Mult Fruit
- 5 or 10 Glim
- 1 or 2 Astatine
- 1 Orbit
- 1 Large Comet Cluster
Crafting
The Crafting System and Blueprints allow you to assemble your foraged items into bigger, better items using ARC Lab's MAKR Machine. In each jar you will find various items, such as limited-time Seasonal Produce, event currency, and everyone's favourite element: Astatine! Start crafting your jars and see how luck rewards you!
Blueprints can be purchased the with event currency, Glims, in the Festival Exchange shop.
Returning Seasonal Fruit
Available all month in the Skyfire Exchange!
Hake Nut, Mult Fruit, and Spikul Fruit all make a return!
Users can purchase 1 of each fruit in the Skyfire Exchange. Additional fruits can be won at Jackpot Planet or found in Jars!
New Foraging Location!
To help you find the items you'll need to craft Jars and other event items, we have a temporary Foraging location: Xhanevri Mines!
This location only drops items needed for event crafting recipes and activities, as well as a rare chance for Astatine, Orbits and Comet Clusters.
Festival Jars, Blueprints, Seasonal Produce, and the Xhanevri Mines location will no longer be available after
Thursday, July 31st AT 11:59 PM EST / 8:59 PM PST
Event Prompts
Participating in these two limited-time prompts to gain Orbits, extra raffle tickets for our Mega Raffle, and other special prizes!
Skyfire Celebration
The Nevriset B'Xhadari, also known as the Skyfire Festival, has begun! Each member of AREZ will celebrate the festival in a different way. How does your Xero celebrate the Skyfire Festival? Will they stay up all night to view the stars and play games, or turn in early after too many snacks?
This event prompt can be completed by drawing or writing about how Xeros celebrate and participate in the festival.
You can learn more about the Skyfire Festival here!
Clay Creations
An integral component of B’Haddu culture is the creation of art using clay, which can range from vessels for everyday use, such as a pitcher or bowl, to decorative sculptures. Clay is a way of life in B’Haddu - it’s important to celebrate that!
Create a creature from the Xero world out of clay, or otherwise paint clay pottery you created. This can be created out of any type of clay, whether it is air dry, kiln fired, or even out of Play-Doh, but it must be created in the real world.
Each prompt may only be submitted once per user!
These event prompts END on Thursday, July 31st AT 11:59 PM EST / 8:59 PM PST
Games & Collectables
To celebrate the Skyfire Festival, we have some pretty spectacular prizes available this month; you don't want to miss out on this!
Lucky Treat
This small sky-themed cookie is typically found at fairs around B’Haddu. It has an acquired flavor profile due to its mushroom flour base, but features local spices that more than make up for it. Inside each Lucky Treat lies a hidden ticket. If it's a winner, vendors will dole out a Glim reward to the lucky snacker. About two in every five cookies holds a winning ticket!
Skyfire Raffle Ticket
A limited number of Skyfire Raffle Tickets are available to purchase in the Skyfire Exchange. Opening this item from your Inventory grants you 1 ticket to the current Skyfire Festival raffle! This ticket must be used before the end of the event; after the event they will disappear!
Skyfire Festival Mega Raffle
The Skyfire Festival Mega Raffle will run the entire month! There will be 25 winners with different prizes!
Raffle tickets can be earned by participating in the Event Prompts or purchasing extras in the Skyfire Exchange shop.
Note: The MYO prizes will be given as already-opened slots with a sale value of $0.

Lore questions
★ Who are the Haddu?
Haddu are reptile-like aliens. They are short and sturdy creatures, with thick legs, tails, and heads and smaller arms with highly dexterous digits that they used for writing, carving, and creating ornate jewelry. They have all-dark eyes much like a Hollow Xero, and their flat backs and tail are covered with overlapping armored scales, similar to an Earthen armadillo or isopod. Much like those Earth species, they can also roll into an armor-like ball, protecting their delicate arms and large brains. Along with their incredible night vision, they also have an extremely keen mole-like nose and sensitive antennae to help them navigate nighttime environments and dark tunnels. They evolved from a lizard-like ancestor many millions of years ago. As their brains evolved to get larger and larger, they honed their protective skills and dexterous hands to begin recording knowledge by clawing and marking rock cave walls. This allowed for more complicated language and tool use to evolve, and the Haddus grew to the culture they have today.
★ What is a Skyfire stone ?
The Skyfire stones are precious gems found only in B'Haddu. The abundance of localized groundwater allowed these unique, phosphorescent, crystallline structures to flourish. They are mined seasonally, and cave tours are available to the public too. The Haddu once believed that the Skyfire stones were left here by the stars, but with modern advancements showing Owai-6 as thier true orgins, this origin story is all-but left to fables.
★ What is the Skyfire jewelry set for?
The Skyfire Columbina, Collar, and Band are used during an ancient traditional dance called the "Midnight Ensemble". Although this dance takes place during the darkest hour of night, the Skyfire stones embedded in the jewelry pieces allow the performers to be seen from the farthest seats of the caldera. The glow of these ornamental costumes makes the wearer appear as if they are living embodiments of the cosmos.
★ The Midnight Ensamble?
The Haddu participate in an ancient tradition called the "Midnight Ensemble". This dance tells the story of how the stars guided the Haddu across the desert to settle in B'Haddu. Historically the Haddu believed the stars to be living beings, just like them, who had the ability to teach them secrets about their world. The Midnight Ensemble is a display of gratitude from the Haddu to the stars, a symbol of their everlasting friendship and a promise for continued their prosperity.
Fuzzlets Are Here!
Posted 1 month ago :: Last edited 1 month ago by NeonSlushie
Owai-6 is Buzzing about Fuzzlets!
Wait- Fuzz-what nows? Fuzzlets! The hottest new virtual pet!
V-Pets are here to collect!
Fuzzlets are well-loved virtual companions to those on Owai-6. These small, round friends are never more than a click away. Don't let their simple eyes fool you; these virtual pets contain a robust AI that aims to bond with its owner. Many Alurizians young and old enjoy the extra company.
From watching their growth cycle, to feeding, exercising with the built in pedometer, and even trading with others; there is much to do with your new Fuzzlet!
Many colors to collect
The Fuzzlets come in a variety of colors: Rocket Red, Blob Blue, Pulsar Purple and Gamma Green!
It's rumored that if you collect all four of them, you can obtain an exclusive V-Pet from CosmicCon.
Collection Guide
obtaining Broken V-pets
Occasionally you may stumble across Broken V-Pets in Lost Backpacks or by Foraging.
Thankfully, Broken V-Pets can be restored through Crafting-
and you'll have no problem finding a tutorial online. However, you may need to collect certain resources to fix them.
Once fixed, your Broken V-Pet will reveal one of the 4 different colorways of Fuzzlet!
You can also buy a Mystery V-Pet box from Jackpot Planet!
Limited-Time Prompt!
Draw your Xero on our Vpet Template! You can do a full body, a bust, pixel art, a tiny scene... have fun with it and get creative! You may color the Vpet Base "shell" any colors you wish!
In return you will receive a Lost Backpack and one Mystery V-Pet!
GalaxyTrekker413's Post
My first guide on How to Fix a v-pet
Hiii GalaxyTrekker413 here with a really simple hack to fix broken V-Pets. I found this should be your FIRST line of action when looking to fix broken V-Pets. This is not a guide on customizing/revitalize shells or messing with code but it will bring your buddy back to life, so to speak.
Please let me know if it helped you fix your V-Pet too :D
1. The first step is to craft the Battery item, this can be done by going to the Crafting page. (In the top bar click on “Activity“ and then click “Crafting“.)
2. Find the Battery under 'Free Recipes'. Ensure you have all needed items and click the Craft button located on the bottom right. You have now crafted a 'Battery' and can use it to fix your Broken V-pet.
3. To fix the 'Broken V-Pet' and recieve a mystery V-Pet:
-
Go to the Crafting page. (In the top bar click on “Activity“ and then click “Crafting“.)
-
Find the 'Fix a Broken V-Pet' option under 'Free Recipes' and click the Craft button.
-
Click the Craft button on the bottom right to add a battery to your Broken V-Pet.
-
This turns the Mystery V-Pet into one of the 4 different Fuzzlets at random!
That's it! You’re all done!! You can view your V-pet collection in your “Inventory” in the “Collections“ tab!
Remember Try to get all four and SEE you at CosmicCon soon! 🎉

Woodland Xeros!
Posted 7 months ago :: Last edited 7 months ago by NeonSlushieA new Subspecies of Xero has been created!
Welcome Woodland Xeros!
In the process of finding a cure to help the Koronoks thrive in the wild, Dee experimented with both Koronok and Xero DNA...
a warm welcome to the tree-climbing Woodland Xeros!
Woodland Xeros are adapted to an arboreal lifestyle of climbing trees and hiding in tree hollows. With their lithe bodies and their special paw pads they are perfectly suited for gripping onto all kinds of surfaces and squeezing into tight spaces. Woodland Xeros love being up high and many have been found napping by wrapping their bodies around tree trunks or branches. However, their long bodies mean they cannot easily walk on two legs and instead get around on all fours most of the time.
Woodland Xeros are in the Anomaly category, so all three of these traits can be obtained by making a Woodland Xero with an Anomaly Xero ORB! If you wish to add these traits to your existing Xero or to another type of ORB please visit the Atelier shop to use the brand new Woodland Vial and Woodland Beaker!
3 new woodland-specific traits!
Woodland Pads
Flat pads that cover the entire palm and sole of their paws allow Woodland Xeros to grip onto bark and foliage with ease while climbing, allowing them to get to higher elevations quicker. These pads are covered in the same setae as standard Xero paws, but the higher coverage gives them enhanced grip.
Woodland Tail
A Woodland Xero's long tail is the perfect counterweight to help them balance up in the trees. They're also extremely handy in helping them wrap around tree trunks and branches when climbing. While useful for traversal, some Woodland Xeros have found that it can cause quite a tripping hazard in their day to day lives.
Long Body
All Woodland Xeros have a greatly elongated body and shorter, more compact limbs. This adaptation allows them to squeeze into spaces that most Xeros cannot. Their long bodies also enable them to easily wrap around tree limbs with little effort.
✨ A Special Prize awaits after the event...
Save your Orbits! A limited-time special Blueprint will be available to purchase in Jackpot Planet only for event participants after the Twilight Carnival ends, December 3rd through 6th.
It looks like a Blueprint chip from ARC's MAKR Machine, but why do you get the feeling the Curator has something to do with this eerie-looking card? What instructions does it contain?
❗️ a reminder that Multi-Accounting is strictly Prohibited! ❗️
Making additional accounts or using a friend or family member's account to gain extra foraging turns, collect extra free carnival gifts, or otherwise exist purely to funnel additional items and currencies into a main account is against Project Xero rules and will result in a ban for all accounts involved. Please do your part to keep Project Xero fair to all players and only use one account to play the game!
🌲 Thank you all, and happy Twilight Carnival! 🌲

The rangers need your help!
The Rangers Corp. has requested a special team for an on-planet expedition to ensure the safe capture and release of a species native to Jurupa Forest called the Koronok.
The Koronoks have suffered from unprecedented population decline over the last two cycles. Without a clear answer, things look dire. ARC Labs has agreed to help in finding the reason behind the decline and hopefully a solution to save the species so the Koronoks can be reintroduced. To help ensure the safe capture of many individuals, the Rangers Corp. is looking to recruit those with previous experience or interest in the following fields: animal handling, capture and release techniques, and familiarity with Jurupa's greater environment and ecology.
Interested in helping out the Koronoks' cause?
Consider visiting your local Rangers recruitment office to submit your application today!
Thank you for your interest and assistance. Together we can ensure the survival of this unique species!
Build traps and bait through the Crafting tab to get a chance at capturing a Koronok. Koronoks come in 3 color variants and using different baits in a trap will boost the chances of getting certain variants! However, be prepared to encounter sick Koronoks! Sick Koronoks can be healed by administrating medicine to them. Healing sick Koronoks also comes with a bonus of earning their Index page!
You can learn more about crafting traps & bait and healing Koronoks by visiting the Koronok Turn-in Prompt!
See you out in Jurupa forest! We need all the help we can get!
Mushroom madness!
Failure is a part of learning.
It has come to ARC's attention that the outbreak of non-native fungal spores present in Harbor two cycles ago, assumed to be contained then, has in reality established a troublesome population in Jurupa Forest. The moderate year-round climate and heavy precipitation has made this an ideal location for their growth- but their establishment is disaster for the local Koronok population.
Koronoks are primarily fungivores so it is imperative ARC collect specimens to learn more about these alien mushrooms and the similarities and differences between the invasive and native species and how they are effected.
Every day, you can attempt to collect a mushroom by Foraging!
These mushrooms are necessary ingredients for creating medication to immunize the Koronoks against the invasive, poisonous fungi and they are of great interest to ARC's scientists for study. There are 9 fungi foragables in total; collect a set of all 9 by the end of the month and submit them to the Mushroom Turn-In Prompt!
Get out there and start foraging! The Koronoks' fate depends on it!
The Wild Indoors!
ARC is requesting tools to minimize stress for both lab staff and the Koronok patients alike.
Building enrichment, cooking food, and donating extra medicine to help care for the Koronoks in ARC's care ensures success. Koronoks are delicate and temperamental and the stress of being removed from their natural habitat can take a huge toll on their recovery. ARC knows bringing the familiarity of the woodland to their temporary enclosures at the lab will make the stay much easier.
Similarly, having familiar fresh foods provided to the Koronoks seems to help improve their recovery times greatly. ARC has access to their favorite mushrooms but they are cultivated varieties, which lack critical mycorrhizal nutrients these mushrooms receive growing in the wild. Donations will help supplement a balanced pellet diet.
Finally, ARC looks for volunteers who can afford to synthesize medicine. Vaccinating the captured population can help those that fall ill to fight through their sickness. Combating a bottleneck in the population would be difficult. So even if it doesn't cure them outright, it is important to prioritize stabilizing a large population to solidify genetic diversity.
You can use the Crafting tab to cook Koronok food, build a Log Nest, and synthesize Medicine to donate to ARC through the Enrichment Turn-In Prompt. Remember these items must be submitted together as a bundle to be eligible for rewards!
Forgot how to craft something? Try checking your recipe book!
Fertilizer Frenzy!
An old friend, Tilly, steps up to run a donation drive !
Tilly, the ever-curious Korso, pokes her beak in to learn about the Koronok's Rescue, Rehabilitate and Release efforts. Perhaps because of her proclivity to chase excitement in life, she jumps at the opportunity to help out!
Tilly is calling for donations of Fertilizer and Premium fertilizer on ARC's behalf. They will need a lot of it as they plan to medicate it and spread it over a large testing area to hopefully eradicate all the invasive mushrooms, stopping the spread and retuning balance to the forest. This area will serve as a release site for the Koronok so they can be monitored to see the effectiveness of the vaccine and reestablish a stable breeding population.
Items needed for creating Fertilizer or Premium Fertilizer can be found through Foraging!
Once obtained, check the Crafting tab to create the required items needed for the Fertilizer Turn-In prompt.
Eww, dirt and poop again? Well, the Koronoks are cute enough to make all the work worth it in the end!
Event Prompts
Participating in these two limited-time prompts to gain Orbits, extra raffle tickets for our Mega Raffle, and other special prizes!
Rescue, Rehabilitate, Release
In this prompt, draw or write about your Xero participating as a Ranger in the Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Release program.
How does your Xero interact with or observe the Koronoks? What is your Xero's task in helping with the program? How would they safely do so while being careful to not stress the animals? Do they bring special tools to assist them with this task? Clothing or gear?
Participating in this prompt awards 1 Twilight Carnival Badge, 3 Orbits, 1 Advanced Trap, 1 Seasonal Basket, and 10 tickets to our Mega Raffle!
Charity Donation Event
For those that are new here, every once and a while we like to get the community together to donate to a charity to help a cause out and get the community some special rewards to boot!
Did you know that black-footed ferrets were thought to be extinct until a small population of them was discovered in the early 1980s? The surviving population of just 18 animals were brought into captivity for a breeding program.
Every 10 USD donated to the charity gets you a Premium Produce item, as well as 1 Orbit! We are capping the donations to 30 USD a person! You may receive up to 3 items and 3 Orbits in total! You may donate more, but you will not receive any additional rewards!
Each prompt may only be submitted once per user!
These event prompts END on Saturday, November 30th AT 11:59 PM EST / 8:59 PM PST

★ What are the Koronoks? Where do they live?
Koronoks are mammal-like noodly little vertebrates that spend their days hiding in small crevices and hollows in the giant trees of Jurupa forest. Their many limbs have dexterous paws for grasping branches and their extremely long tails helps them stay balanced, even when navigating the narrowest of twigs. Koronok emerge at night to feast on the bountiful native mushrooms found throughout the forest.

Twilight Carnival 2022
Posted 2 years ago :: Last edited 8 months ago by Frouzon
Time has forgotten who was first to propose the idea of The Twilight Carnival but one thing is certain: It’s the one event in AREZ you don’t wanna miss!
Taking place 30 days before the anniversary of the official beginning of the Alurizan Reserve, it is a celebration of many significant events: the traditional harvest season, a celebration of unity and coming together to be a greater collective.
Event Activity Summary!
Forage daily for mushrooms & other goodies!
Participate in our Discord Xingo! A Xero-themed Bingo with prizes!
Free gifts in the shop weekly!

Click for all the details!
Calling All Volunteers!
As I'm sure you have heard by now, there has been an outbreak of non-native fungal spores in Harbor and the timing could not be worse. To help contain the outbreak, we're recruiting individuals with with previous experience or interest in the following fields: foraging, fungus identification, or mycology.
While the initial contamination has been contained, the existing fruits must be collected before they are allowed to produce more spores and succeed our containment capacities. Please report to the address below and await further instructions.
Thank you for your interest and assistance. Together we can ensure that this outbreak does not become a full-fledged spread of an invasive species!
Every day, you can attempt to collect a mushroom from our new site feature: Foraging!
There are 12 new mushrooms in total; collect all 12 by the end of the month to gain a Twilight Carnival 2022 badge and 10 Raffle Tickets in our huge Twilight Carnival Mega Raffle! Please check out our Discord's Twilight Carnival section to trade your duplicate mushrooms and submit your completed collection for rewards.
Get out there and start foraging! We need all the help we can get!
NEW TRAITS!
Now what would be a special event month without some New Seasonal Produce? We have 2 that will be gracing us this Twilight Carnival!
All Xeros who currently have these traits will have them added automatically, but going forward MYO’s with these traits will require the items to make them possible!
The Hake Nut allows a Xero to gain an Ornamental Tail! This is a fancy tail tip made of hard keratin or cartilage. It can be almost any shape, as long as it’s placed on the end of the tail!
And the Harvest Fairy! This seed allows a Xero to have a set of Frilled Ears! These ears have a grooved outer edge, giving them a jagged or wing-like appearance!
Both new items can be purchased from ARC Lab, found in Autumn Produce Baskets, or foraged!
Mult Fruit, Goodroop Fruit, and Spikul Fruit are back as well!
They are available in limited quantities all month in the ARC Lab and Autumn Produce Baskets so make sure to stock up before they go out of season!
Limited Time Event Prompts
Search for the Woodland Ghost
Draw or write about your Xero’s foraging excursion! Consider what tools they may need. Where do they decide to search? How and what do they collect? Are they doing this for ARC, or for their own research?
Participating in this prompt awards 1 Astatine, 1 Twilight Carnival Badge, 1 Autumn Produce Basket, 1 Autumn Foraging Basket, and 1 ticket to our Mega Raffle!
Jam Jamboree
It is a widespread custom during the Twilight Carnival to make home-cooked foods. It is said exchanging cultural food helps us all come together; food transcends even the most arduous of borders. Not all of us are fantastic cooks, however- so this simple jam recipe is popular among many Alurizan residents.
Follow along with our recipe (or any other recipe) and try your hand at making some jam for the Twilight Carnival!
Participating in this prompt awards 1 Astatine, 1 Twilight Carnival Badge, 1 Autumn Produce Basket, 1 Autumn Foraging Basket, and 1 ticket to our Mega Raffle!

New Quest Enters Rotation!
Posted 10 months ago :: Last edited 9 months ago by Frouzon
A New Quest enters rotation!
Have you looked into your local Alurizan recycling pickup schedule?
It looks like recycling pick-ups are scheduled to happen ever 2nd, 3rd and 4th SUNDAY of each month. Aluriza's recycling efforts are efficient in reclaiming waste into useful materials once more, but demand for certain recyclables drives prices up and down. Each time you turn in Recycling to Neo's Quest: Recycling Day, the sales price will change. Choosing to wait for a high sales price may be best... but if you're short on Prestige, any of Neo's prices will be better than the standard rate!
Big thank you to JollyMutt for the item art!
Neo is one of the many Recycling Officers of Owai-6!
Neo's job is to collect recyclables from citizens every 2nd, 3rd and 4th Sunday of each month. The Recycling Centers around Owai-6 are subsidized through each respective municipality. They look to provide Alurizan citizens with a fair buy-back program, encouraging awareness about proper waste management. Neo is very passionate about their work so it's best to keep things brief unless you're ready for an earful about the entire history of Recycling innovations!
Neo's key art is by Frouzon!
Lost Items Now Openable!
Posted 10 months ago :: Last edited 10 months ago by NeonSlushie
Lost items can now be opened for a chance at big rewards!
Lost items, found through foraging, can now be opened. Each lost item has a unique drop table filled with some very tempting goodies- but opening others' property is considered poor taste! You may be better off waiting for a turn-in Quest to appear; completing turn-in Quests ensures you'll always be well rewarded for your honesty.
Don't let this opportunity go to waste!
While foraging, you may stumble across litter about on Owai-6. It's every Alurizan's responsibility to maintain a safe and healthy environment, and that includes cleaning up after yourself and others. Don't turn a blind eye to things out of place. Pick it up and recycle it!
Try Crafting the new Recycling item!
