At the heart of the Fall Market event is the innovative Fall Bloom mechanic, a feature that sets this event apart from previous seasonal celebrations. This system encourages strategic thinking and family collaboration as you work together to grow the magnificent Fall Tree.
The concept is simple but engaging: your family submits various plants to the Fall Tree NPC, who accepts different categories of plants to help "grow" the tree. As you contribute more plants, you unlock increasingly valuable rewards. It's like a family science project where everyone's contributions matter!
The Fall Tree accepts plants across nine different categories. Here's what your family needs to know:
| Category | Example Plants | Points Value | Family Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Berry | Strawberry, Blueberry, Raspberry | 1-4 points | Great for younger players |
| Flower | Rose, Tulip, Lavender | 2-4 points | Beautiful and valuable |
| Fruit | Apple, Banana, Dragon Fruit | 4-6 points | High-value submissions |
| Leafy | Lettuce, Spinach, Kale | 1-3 points | Easy for beginners |
| Sweet | Peach, Mango, Pineapple | 5-7 points | Premium rewards |
| Tropical | Coconut, Papaya, Kiwi | 4-6 points | Exotic collection |
| Vegetable | Carrot, Corn, Pumpkin | 3-4 points | Family garden staples |
| Prickly | Cactus, Prickly Pear | 3-5 points | Unique autumn varieties |
| Woody | Twisted Tangle, Dragon Sapling | 3-7 points | Rare and valuable |
The more plants your family submits, the better the rewards become:
| Submissions | Rewards Unlocked | Family Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 2 submissions | Leaf Blower tool | Practical gardening aid |
| 4 submissions | Red Squirrel pet | Great for younger players |
| 6 submissions | Kniphofia Seed | Rare autumn plant |
| 7 submissions | Golden Peach Seed + Chipmunk pet | Double reward bonus! |
| 10 submissions | Sugar Glider pet + Bonfire decoration | Premium family achievement |
Family Strategy Tip: Create a family chart where each member tracks their submissions. This turns the Fall Bloom mechanic into a collaborative family project where everyone can see their progress toward shared goals.
Success in the Fall Market event starts with proper preparation. Here's how your family can get ready to make the most of this autumn celebration:
Family Play Tip: Create a special "Fall Market Journal" where each family member can write about their favorite parts of the event, draw their new pets, or record their achievements. This turns a gaming event into a cherished family memory.
