The Wishing Well - THE END!

Can't believe we failed the true game of getting Farley and Serena to the same Fairy Dust totals. /s And after I ended the previous round with both of them having 69 as their last digits.

Congrats, everyone! Thanks to everyone who posted fun things on my profile, and especially for getting that regular Rosewater Potion! I'm excited to put it above my Swamp Potion, and then I can have my greenish/reddish/yellowish lineup that I've wanted~
 
😇 Prizes Unlocked! 😇

Congratulations everyone! The community has successfully unlocked all 22 milestones for both Farley and Serena! Farley ended with 13380 Fairy Dust contributed, and Serena ended with 13389 Fairy Dust contributed.

😇 That's All, Folks! 😇

Well folks, this officially concludes The Wishing Well event for The Bell Tree Fair 2022! I'd like to thank all of you who participated with so much enthusiasm and dedication -- it really took me by surprise. To be honest, when doing early planning for this event, I was concerned it would be considered too boring and simple for much interest to be taken up. Clearly, that was very wrong and I'm very glad everyone enjoyed it so much!

In particular, one neat community aspect that stood out to me is how with our worldwide user base in various time zones, it felt like we had people clocking in and out throughout the day in 'shifts' for the day haha. In the late evening, we'd see the folks in North America clock out and donate their dust, and then watch folks from the other half of the world show up to start collecting dust while everyone else was sleeping.

The community challenges introduced for the final window were quite a fun experiment too in an attempt to mix in more game elements, while still maintaining the crucial community aspect. In hindsight, it seems we could have made them even more tricky, but it's always tough to know how far to take it.

A big thank you to the following lovely people who helped out with The Wishing Well in some way for me:
  • @Mairmalade for suggesting the original basic concept of this event early on in Fair planning.
  • @Jeremy for running some behind-the-scenes tasks, such as distributing rewards.
  • @Mistreil for creating the Serena's Labyrinth maze challenge.
  • @Laudine for creating the graphics part of the Serena's Mirror challenge.
  • @Oblivia for creating the math and writing part of the Serena's Mirror challenge.
Given how well The Wishing Well was received, I imagine this event concept will make a return in some form during a future major TBT event at one point or another. See you next time I guess!

P.S: Since so many of you were curious about the Fairy Dust mechanics, I'll say that Kilza's guide was about 90% accurate for the first four windows. Although there still were some changes made along the way, such as the Acceptance Blessing added in the third window to help out. Then during the fifth window, I began to make more changes on timing to switch it up and make things a little less predictable given how you all had figured it out by that point. The intention of the event was to reward activity in a general sense, not make it a game to be min-maxed on a schedule every so many hours like a job haha. But of course, that behaviour is simply a sign of your loyalty and engagement towards the event, so I do respect it regardless!
 
Note that Rosewater Potions will be temporarily ungiftable until our next summer event in 2023.
ah, guess I'll be stuck with these potions for awhile, then. Oh well.

I'm glad to know my guide was mostly accurate! I definitely didn't intend to solve how the fairy dust mechanics worked at the beginning of this event, it kinda just happened naturally by the time we got to the 4th window and I had noticed the patterns that emerged with some of the blessings, so I figured I might as well see if I couldn't completely figure all of them out at that point. Hopefully it did help people to get any extra fairy dust needed for this final window!
