Throne and Liberty features a variety of Dynamic Events that provide excellent rewards and significant experience points (EXP), making them ideal for players looking to immerse themselves in longer gaming sessions. Whether you’re aiming to complete your Region Exploration list or vying against numerous other players, we highly encourage diving into these events.
One of the standout Dynamic Events is the Lantern Seed Festival, which offers great rewards for players eager to get a head start. With opportunities for upgrade materials and EXP, you’ll definitely find plenty to gain by participating!
Getting Started with Seeds Popping in Throne and Liberty
To access the side quests in the region, including the ‘Seeds Popping’ quest, you’ll need to activate the Nesting Grounds waypoint. This requires you to engage in the Lantern Seed Festival Dynamic Event to complete the quest. You can easily mark this quest as a favorite and track its location on your map, although you’ll need to wait for a specific time before you can make progress.
To advance in this quest, you must jump into the Dynamic Event as soon as it starts and complete it. This involves taking down enemies within a designated area, collecting Lantern Seeds, and delivering them to Delivery Boxes. Fortunately, there are plenty of enemies to contend with in this region.
How to Check When the Lantern Seed Festival Starts
To find the start time of the Dynamic Event, go to your map in the Nesting Grounds. Click on the Event Schedule tab, and look for the blue flower icon. This will indicate the scheduled start time for the event. You can also check the current in-game time by looking at the clock displayed at the top of the event list.
Once you know when the event starts, just wait until it goes live. The wait can be anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, so be prepared! As the start time approaches, head over to the marked area on your map and wait for the festivities to commence.
Completing the Seeds Popping Quest
During the Lantern Seed Festival, there are three tasks you need to complete as part of the Seeds Popping quest. If you don’t manage to finish these tasks, you’ll need to wait for the event to occur again.
It’s recommended that you aim to be around Level 20-23 when you undertake this quest, as the enemies will be matching in level. Completing this quest early on is beneficial, as it offers solid EXP gains and upgrade materials crucial for your progression.
Objective 1: Collect 50 Lantern Seeds
The first goal in the Lantern Seed Festival is to gather 50 Lantern Seeds. You can snag these seeds in a few different ways, but the bulk will come from defeating enemies in the marked area.
Keep an eye out for Tradepack Goblins—they drop a lot of Lantern Seeds during combat. Also, focus on taking down Headcrusher Terror Birds and other enemies throughout the region for additional drops.
While you might encounter carts that contain seeds, it’s generally faster to hunt enemies than to scavenge for carts, especially since you’ll need to compete with other players for the loot.
Objective 2: Deliver Lantern Seeds to Delivery Boxes
Once you have collected at least 50 Lantern Seeds, make your way to one of the Delivery Boxes located nearby to deposit your gathered seeds. You’ll have the chance to offload your seeds roughly 15 minutes before the Lantern Seed Festival ends, ensuring that this part of your quest is completed.
You can keep gathering more Lantern Seeds from defeated adversaries afterwards. This will help you boost your Personal Performance Score and earn better rewards at the end of the event.
Objective 3: Earn a Performance Reward
Finally, the last requirement of the Seeds Popping quest is to acquire a Performance Reward, which basically involves completing the Lantern Seed Festival. You’ll have to stay for the full 20 minutes if you want to check off this quest.
As you gather more Lantern Seeds and turn them in at Delivery Boxes, you’ll increase your tier—a tier that determines your rewards once the event concludes. You can choose to either go all out for the best reward or take a more leisurely pace until the event wraps up.
Popping Seeds Rewards
Here’s what you can expect for completing the various objectives:
| Objective | Reward |
|---|---|
| Gather 50 Lantern Seeds | – x4 Quality Accessory Growthstone – 7,079 EXP – 24,205 Sollant |
| Deliver Lantern Seeds at a Delivery Box | – x4 Quality Armor Growthstone – 14,914 EXP – 41,698 Sollant |
| Acquire a Performance Reward | – x4 Quality Weapon Growthstone – 16,687 EXP – 43,891 Sollant |
Lantern Seed Festival Rewards
Your performance during the event will dictate the rewards you receive at the end. The better you do, the more tantalizing loot you’ll earn. Key rewards you can earn include Stellarite Elements and Sollants, depending on your ranking and the number of Lantern Seeds collected.
Don’t forget: your performance rewards will differ based on how well you perform during the Lantern Seed Festival!
