Events
The scents of the freshly made and delivered food hung in the air. The sound of ice being slightly crunched as champagne bottles were sat upon them could be heard. Rowan had her eyes closed and listened to the sounds and enjoyed the smells of delicious food. Her stomach growled in agreement.
Apparently loud enough for Minerva to even hear, as the normally broody gardener couldn't help but give a small, but fleeting, chuckle. She looked at the venue with some satisfaction, though it still felt...off. She looked at some of the balloons that had been collected earlier in setting up the venue. "Of course, it's missing some decorations." She mused softly.
Rowan immediately snapped from her midday daydreaming to look at Minerva, and follow her gaze. While yes, they had balloons, it certainly wasn't enough. Not for the Snapdragon Ceremony!
"We could definitely add some magical enhancements, and we'll need music!" Rowan added. She could already picture some floating candles and beautiful curtains to accent the place.
"There's also a nice assortment of foliage and herbs this time of year, brought in from all over." Minerva nodded sagely, thinking of things she'd like to see.
"Well, then we better get more snapdragons! Those decorations won't buy themselves!" Rowan chirped. Minerva wondered just how they hadn't picked Ay clean of snapdragons yet.
Once again, the challenges for this event will require you to collect different colors of Snapdragon. They will be available in pink, orange, green, blue, white, yellow, red, and purple. Your team leader, Rowan or Minerva, will tell you which color you will need to turn in. Be sure to work together and try to overcome the opposing team!
The ladies would like to emphasize working together - they have noticed some people have been taking naps instead of helping! If you have not participated since the beginning of the event and still do not participate by the end of this challenge, you will be removed from your team with no opportunity to rejoin. This is to ensure that it remains fair to all active participants.
You will have until 6:30 PM AST on April 16th to accumulate points for your team for this challenge.

Oh, thank you so much for telling me about that! I knew Windows had a lot of different accessibility things but I didn't know of that exact one since I don't mess around with any settings much. I think I might actually be able to come up with something that will work pretty well for adventuring with its settings and using Stylus to move around some of the adventure buttons. ^-^

It's hardly incentive to participate when you adventure for an hour and end up with 4 snapdragons (Common rarity, ya know, to toss salt on the wound) for your effort.

I'm sorry, but every time I check back, it's always a colour I don't have. And it's disheartening to try to participate in this event when there's not a single way to tell when one colour ends and another begins. It's especially annoying when I try to explore and can search for an hour and not get a single snap dragon despite their low rarity. And trying to buy them, I run out of BP quickly because they have been all bought up.

Wow that first comment...sorry to be dead weight.
I think the drop rate should be increased.
Time is so limited here and IRL. After more than a half hour and NO snapdragons well.... thankfully a friend bailed me out so that I don't get the boot. Not having fun yet...

I'm picking them up but they are always the wrong color. What am I supposed to do? And in some areas (I haven't finished the site by a long shot so I'm stuck in my area only) there are little or no snapdragons to be found. It's very frustrating!

I have no idea how people are finding so many. I've been to multiple locations multiple times of the day and I'm lucky if I find one of one color and it's usually not the one I need at the time. Really hoping I can find at least one soon so I'm not disqualified my first year lol

Also probably going to get in trouble here but to that first comment; a lot of us aren't "dead weight" because we can't find them or they're not provided. That's just rude and unneccessary. Super glad you're having a ton of luck, but it doesn't mean a lot of us aren't trying or don't want to help.

Yeah, chiming in here to say, I don't appreciate being called "dead weight" or that I'm someone who "[has] been taking naps instead of helping." When I signed up to participate I had no idea it was going to be so labor intensive. There was nothing in the sign-up post that even suggested that that might be the case. If I spend an hour adventuring and find zero snapdragons... how is that my fault? If I try to participate by buying snapdragons from user's shops, I go to turn them in, and they're not the right color, and I can't ever seem to catch it when they *are* the right color. I did my best to pitch in, and if it's going well for you--that's great--but not everyone shares your luck, and that doesn't make them dead weight, or lazy. This event has been frustratingly difficult to take part in.

I will say being called a "dead-weight" when you cannot find the items needed, don't have the trade in items and cannot afford the over-priced user shops items needed, leads me to not even want to participate. Also the color has either been the same as last night or changed back and that color seems to be not showing up. I've been on this site for years! Been WAITING for this event since the Halloween one and just cannot understand that this wasn't made more user-friendly. I love the characters. The event idea is cute but the execution is lacking and the communication appalling

If you're wanting to use your keyboard, you can already do that (generally speaking, since I don't know your personal computer or device you are accessing from).
You can go into the Control Panel settings on most computers and under there, there is a setting for "Ease of Access". Under that tab, you can find "Change How My Keyboard Works". There's options that should list "Turn on Mouse Keys". This will allow you to use the Num Pad to move your cursor around the screen instead of your mouse.
Mind you, the settings are probably different for Apple or non-Windows users, but I don't know the exact commands to pull it up on those OS.
