Solar and Lunar Teams
Players for King’s Faire will now randomly become assigned to either a Solar or Lunar team

Solar and Lunar Teams for King’s Faire are purely for entertainment purposes (has no impact on rewards or individual scores), but players are encouraged to cheer on their fellow teammates!

• All characters/accounts across the player’s OutlandsID will be on the same team (Solar or Lunar)

Solar / Lunar Revelry

• Only members of the Solar team can wear Solar Revelry and only members of the Lunar team can wear Lunar Revelry
• Revelry Masks come in a random, rare hue and can be Aspected as normal
• Players are not required to wear Solar/Lunar Revelry to participate in any Kings Faire activities (its optional!)
• Players can wear these masks both inside and outside of the Kings Faire Grounds
• Solar and Lunar Revelry masks will be Deleted upon the end of the Kings Faire event

Team Displays

• While inside the King’s Faire Grounds players will see each player’s Solar/Lunar team alignment when single-clicking / using All Names

Team Scores

• The Solar and Lunar teams will each have a score throughout the King’s Faire based on the average [EventScore of each teams participating members
• Players can view each team’s score at various Solar / Lunar statues throughout the King’s Faire Grounds, and scores are updated hourly
• Team Scoring for this event is purely for entertainment purposes (will not impact player rewards or individual scores)

Team Fanfare

• After a player participates in any event, fanfare for their respective Solar / Lunar team will appear

Acquiring King’s Faire Tickets
In order to participate in King’s Faire events, players must have King’s Faire 2026 Tickets in their bank box

Purchasing Tickets

• Players may purchase tickets from a Ticketmaster NPC towards the entrance of the fairgrounds
• Players can buy Individual Tickets or buy Stacks of 10 Tickets (requires double-click to confirm Stack purchase)

Tickets as Loot

• Players will also have a chance at finding Tickets while participating most gameplay systems that generate gold (such as killing Monsters, Dungeon Chests, Treasure Maps, Sinking NPC Ships, etc)
• Tickets earned will be placed directly into a player’s backpack

Tickets from PvP Events and Factions

• Any player who participates in a PvP Event (Town Struggle, Corpse Creek Contest, Dungeon Flashpoint, Stygian Rifts) and earns 1 or more Reward Points from the event will automatically receive 1 King’s Faire Ticket in their Bank Box
• For every 1000 Faction Score a player earns (not including Faction Dungeons) they will receive 1 King’s Faire Ticket in their Bank Box

Exchanging Old Tickets for New Tickets

• Players can exchange Tickets from the previous year for this year’s Tickets at the Prevalia Exchange Officer

Joining Events

• To participate in any event, players can simply double-click the Ticket Taker NPC next to the event, and then click the Play Event button to enter the queue for the event
• If a player does not stay near the Ticket Taker, or joins the queue for another event, they will be removed from the queue of their event
• Players will only be charged tickets from their Bank Box once they start the event
• Some events allow for multiple players to simultaneously participate in them, and may have a waiting period of 10 seconds to allow for other players to join

Event Mechanics

• Most events are 100% random and do not rely on player reflexes, player ping, player stats or skills: these events are meant to be fun, random, and whimsical and any player participating has an equal chance of winning as any other player

Active Events
A limited number of events are considered “Active Events” and rely on player skill and allow the player to interact with the game, including the following:

• Backpackman
• Bar Creep
• Candyugh Arena
• Cannon Bawl
• Coop Shoot
• Ratcatcher

Server Crashes/Reboots

• If a player is in the middle of any King’s Faire event and either a server reboot or crash occurs, the player will be fully refunded their current event’s ticket amount when the server reboots

Event Types
Events at the King’s Faire fall into two categories: “Best Score” and “Victory Count”

Best Score Events

• Best Score events cost 2 Tickets to play
• Players can play each of these Best Score event up to 5 times per day per OutlandsID
• When a player competes in a Best Score event, at the end of the event they will be given a score
• If a player’s score beats their own previous best score, it will become their new best score, and will be displayed on the scoreboard
• Players can click the “Show My Player” button to see where they are currently at on the scoreboard

Victory Count Events

• Victory Count events cost 1 Ticket to play
• Players can play each of these individual events up to 10 times per day per OutlandsID
• For most Victory Count events, players will either Win or Lose the event, with wins increasing the player’s cumulative scoreboard value for the event by 1
• For some events like Dunk Tank, players have the potential to earn multiple “wins” by dunking the target multiple times in a single event
• Players can click the “Show My Player” button to see where they are currently at on the scoreboard

Event Score and OutlandsID

• For each event, players will have a single Event Entry that tracks their Best Score or combined Victory Count for all characters on their OutlandsID
• The scoreboard for each event will display the most recent participating character for that OutlandsID

Daily Play Limit Reset

• The daily play limit for each event for ALL players will reset each day at 11am ET

Rewards

Participation Rares

• Each time a player participates in a King’s Faire event, they have a very small chance of receiving a random King’s Faire Participation Rare, which will be placed into their Backpack
• Chances of receiving a Participation Rare are scaled based on the Ticket Cost of the event

Participation Rares for King’s Faire 2026

• Participation Rares for this year’s event are King’s Faire 2026 Tapestry pieces, which can be Rotated (via double-click or Housing Interior Decorator) to cycle between different graphics to build a large Tapestry

Individual Events

• When the King’s Faire ends, the Top 3 players (including ties) for each individual event will earn either a Bronze, Silver, or Gold Reward item unique to the event

[EventScore Overall Score

• Players who participate in the King’s Faire will also have a [EventScore value for themselves that represents their overall performance for the King’s Faire as a whole throughout the week
• For each event, players earn (1000 x Rank %) points towards their EventScore, where their Rank % is their (current place / total number of players) in the event
• For instance, a player in 1st place for the Joust will earn 1000 points towards their EventScore from the event, whereas a player in 25th out of 50 total players (50% rank) would earn 500 points towards their Event Score
• At the end of the event, players will be assigned a final [EventScore based on their performance in all events combined

[EventScore “Best” Character

• If a player used multiple characters to participate in events, the system will choose a “Best” character on their OutlandsID based on which character was displayed the most number of times on scoreboards for individual events (i.e. what was considered the ‘most frequently” used character)
• The [EventScore system will display a single “Best” character for each OutlandsID
• All King’s Faire Reward Items (including for individual events) will be added into the Bank of their “Best” character (i.e. which character of theirs shows up in the [EventScore menu)

[EventScore Rewards

• When the King’s Faire ends, players will earn Bronze, Silver, or Gold Trophies for Overall Score if they meet certain [EventScore rank % thresholds
• Players with an [EventScore in the 25% to 50% Rank range will earn a Bronze Trophy
• Players with an [EventScore in the 50% to 75% Rank range will earn a Silver Trophy
• Players with an [EventScore in the 75% to 100% Rank range will earn a Gold Trophy

Shady Fortune Teller

• Players have the opportunity to visit a Shady Fortune Teller in the Northwest area of the fairgrounds

• Players can only have their fortune told once every 6 hours, but the bonus received will NOT expire if the player dies
• The vision the player will see will occur once a randomized amount of time has passed since receiving the fortune (30 to 180 minutes) and only while the player is online and alive, and while they are not in the Arena, Strangelands, or participating in a PvP event (the vision will wait until they conclude those events and/or leave the area)
