Dawn Breaker Island

Hurry, Dawn Breaker Island is in Danger!

This remote island, once a beacon of hope and safety for the surrounding isles, has fallen into darkness. The family that lives on the island, responsible for ringing the bell that warns of danger, is now scared and alone. Without their warning bell, all hope for safety is lost in Sunflower Land.

Why did the island plunge into darkness? Where did the mysterious characters come from? How do we conquer the darkness?

Can you uncover the secrets of the island and bring peace back to their lives?

How to access Dawn Breaker Island?

On May 1st, you will be able to access Dawn Breaker island by going to the travel boat, and clicking "Dawn Breaker"

What to do?

Each week you must visit the island, talk to the locals and complete a weekly challenge.

Crafting Lanterns

Lanterns can help bring lightness to different parts of your island. Your goal is to craft as many lanterns as possible each week.

To craft a lantern, you must find your Bumpkin on the island and click on them to reveal the lantern requirements

There is no limit to the amount of lanterns you can craft. However, each time you craft a lantern, the requirements also increase. The more you craft, the harder it gets.

Dawn Breaker Prizes

Each week, a range of prizes will be awarded and raffled to players who crafted lanterns that week and helped save Dawn Breaker Island. 1 Lantern = 1 Entry into the raffle.

The more lanterns you craft, the higher your chances are of winning the prize.

Each week 5000 SFL & 10 Hoots will be given to the winners. Each week will have a total of 10 winners.

• Positions 1-5 will win a Hoot.

• Positions 6-10 will win the 500 SFL prize.

• The remaining Hoots + SFL will be raffled to participants (1 Lantern = 1 Entry into the raffle).

Community Effort

Each week there will be a community goal to reach X lanterns crafted. If this threshold is reached, the SFL giveaway rewards for that week will double to 10,000 SFL 🚀. The in-game widget will show off-chain counts of crafted lanterns (updated every 4 hours). All lanterns crafted off-chain will be entered into the weekly competition.

There is no longer a requirement to sync your items on-chain.

The community milestones reset each week automatically, regardless of whether we reach that threshold or not.

Leaderboards

We will have two in-game leaderboards. These will show the top players in two categories:

• Lanterns crafted during a week

• Season ticket holders

This data will come from off-chain data and will be updated every 4 hours. You will be able to see the top 10 players as well as your own position +/- 1.

You can view these leaderboards by visiting Dawn Breaker Island and clicking on the trophy icon in the top right cor.

How long will the event go for?

Dawn Breaker island will be available for the entire season to visit.

However, the Dawn Breaker quest is only available for the first 8 weeks of the season. If the community conquers darkness there will be a festivity week full of community events, prizes and airdrops for those involved in the season ♥️

Hoot's Cryptic Riddles

Each week, the mysterious Hoot will give players a riddle they need to solve. If solved, a player will receive Dawn Breaker Tickets

Example from week 2: "In the fields so green and brown, a round crop of orange can be found. Plant it in every spot and great rewards shall soon abound." Based on the clue, a player must do an action on their main island. Once you think you have solved the clue, return to Hoot! A player has unlimited amount of attempts at the clue ❤️

Dawn Breaker Party

This season we are launching an entirely new mechanic to help celebrate the completion of the Dawn Breaker Season and the return of light!

On the 3rd of July, players will be able to enter Dawn Breaker Island, walk around with their Bumpkin, talk to other players and complete quests. Players will be able to visit the island until 1st of August, when the new season will begin.

So, what can you do during the Dawn Breaker Festivities?

First and foremostly, we are using this as an introduction to our MMO feature and a way to gather feedback and improve it before our first launch. However, it wouldn't be a party without some special events.

These events are casual quests. We didn't want players to be grinding hard in competition with each other. The end of the season is a time to relax and enjoy yourself.

Bella's Party Preparation Quest

Bella is overwhelmed with all of the Bumpkins that have visited her island. She needs more food and wood to fuel the fire.

Every 12 hours, you can visit Bella and provide her with the required Food and Wood. After completing her requests multiple times, she will reward you with a cosmetic prize. These prizes are given after completing 3, 8, 14 & 22 requests.

Growing a Dawn Flower

If you travel to the North of the Island, you will be able to visit Sofia. After an introduction, she will explain that she wants to grow a Dawn Flower with your help.

To grow a Dawn Flower you must return every 24 hours to water the plant. After 10 days of watering, you will be rewarded with a Dawn Flower.

Donating

It wouldn't be a party without the help of our wonderful community Artists! The new decorations, lanterns, turtles, frogs, dragonflies, dancing bumpkins, fires, roasting bumpkins + more were created by the Open Source Artists on the SFL Isles Project team.

If you appreciate their work, please head over to the Homeless man at the East side of the Island. 100% of the donated amount goes directly to them. ❤️
