Hello Miners,
Sorry this post comes a few days late -- we got caught up rewatching our favorite movie, Crouching Miner, Hidden Dragon. Also I had influenza.

Anyway, the Lunar Festival is coming back for 2024! We've freshened up this seasonal event to ring in the Year of the Dragon, and we're bringing you a fresh crop of collectibles, delightful decorations and fun hats.

This year’s Lunar Festival begins on Thursday, February 1st at 13:00 CET, and it runs until Thursday, February 15th at 13:00 CET.

Here’s what’s in store!


Fresh ferocious finery
First thing’s first: the cool new hat. We’re welcoming the Year of the Dragon with this dashing new headgear, which features a movable jaw, wiggly whiskers and googly eyes to distract your foes. It’s called Enter the Dragon, because your head enters it when you put it on. Smart, right? Complete the hat’s seasonal assignment, and it’s yours to keep.

Collect vintage Festival styles
If you slept through 2023 and 2022 (Years of the Rabbit and Tiger, respectively), you’ve still got the chance to snag the hats from those previous Lunar Festivals. As always, we’re bringing them back as rewards for the Last Year’s Blessings assignment! Get it done, and you’ll be a couple hats richer.

Quest for the Golden Dragon
We’ve received word that a reckless Longbeard courier has lost countless Lunar Festival Dragons in the depths of Hoxxes. These golden statues are of tremendous symbolic value, so we’re contracting you to retrieve them. Dig up and deposit a dragon during a mission, and your whole team will earn a Double Mission Performance Point Bonus!

Free firecrackers on the Space Rig
Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper Lunar Festival if the Space Rig didn’t look the part. When the event starts, you’ll find the Rig dressed to the nines with festive banners, glowing paper lanterns, ripe persimmons and traditional charms galore. We’ve also stocked the Rig with a generous amount of firecrackers. Please don’t use them while other dwarves are sleeping.

The festival begins this Thursday at 13:00 CET. Hope to see you there!

With Love,
-The Ghost Ship Crew
