New Feature Coming in 0.21.5: Event Currency

0.21.5中的新功能：活動貨幣

May 19 2023?2023年5月19日

Hey everyone! The studio’s been bustling along getting our next update ready and squashing bugs along the way. Today we wanted to introduce a new feature coming in 0.21.5 that we hope will make it easier for players to get new in-game currency cosmetics that come with events, without having to stock up on extra candles. Introducing: event currency.

大家好！工作室一直在沿著準備我們的下一次更新，并在此過程中壓制錯誤。今天，我們想介紹一個新的功能，即將在0.21.5，我們希望將使玩家更容易獲得新的游戲中的貨幣化妝品，附帶的事件，而不必儲備額外的蠟燭。介紹：事件貨幣。

Why Event Currency??為什么選擇Event Currency？

In our?Economy Q&A blog post?in March, we mentioned that we were looking at ways to make changes to address some of the feedback the community has given us about Sky’s economy, while still keeping the overall in-game economy balanced.

在我們3月份的經(jīng)濟問答博客中，我們提到我們正在尋找方法來做出改變，以解決社區(qū)給我們的關于天空經(jīng)濟的一些反饋，同時仍然保持整體游戲經(jīng)濟的平衡。

One point in particular we’ve heard is the pressure players can feel—no matter how long they’ve played the game—when it comes to choosing where to use Candles. Between things like friends, events, and Traveling Spirits, folks shared that they often felt they had to prioritize saving their Candles for events. With the new event currency feature, we’re aiming to change that.

我們特別聽到的一點是，當涉及到選擇在哪里使用蠟燭時，玩家可以感受到壓力-無論他們玩了多長時間。在朋友、活動和旅行精神之間，人們分享說，他們經(jīng)常覺得必須優(yōu)先考慮為活動保存蠟燭。隨著新的事件貨幣功能，我們的目標是改變這一點。

Starting in 0.21.5, event currencies will be available during each event that can be used specifically to unlock the new in-game currency (IGC) items being introduced this year. The goal is that any player will be able to unlock new IGC event items simply by playing the event—no extra candle runs in advance, no careful Candle budgeting if there’s a Traveling Spirit, no need to go out of your way to add this currency to your inventory.

從0.21.5開始，每個活動期間都將提供活動貨幣，可用于解鎖今年推出的新游戲貨幣（IGC）項目。我們的目標是，任何玩家都可以通過簡單地玩游戲來解鎖新的IGC事件項目-沒有額外的蠟燭運行提前，沒有仔細的蠟燭預算，如果有一個旅行的精神，沒有必要去你的方式添加這種貨幣到您的庫存。

How It Will Work?它將如何工作

During an event, its specific currency will be in the main area where the event is played, or in some cases, it can be collected alongside the event’s themed daily quests. Out in the levels, event currencies vary in appearance to fit the theme of their event (check our blog announcements for previews of the before events begin—see an example below). Once in your inventory, they'll appear as a ticket with a symbol on it that will be related to its specific event.

在活動期間，其特定貨幣將位于活動進行的主要區(qū)域，或者在某些情況下，它可以與活動的主題每日任務一起收集。在關卡中，事件貨幣的外觀各不相同，以適應其事件的主題（查看我們的博客公告，以獲得事件開始前的預覽-請參閱下面的示例）。一旦在您的庫存中，它們將顯示為一張票，上面有一個與特定事件相關的符號。

When you’ve collected enough event currency for this year’s new event items, you can exchange them with a Spirit or in a spell shop to unlock the cosmetic or receive the event-related spell you want. There will be more event currency available during the event than what you’ll need to unlock a new cosmetic, too, so if you miss some spots or can’t play every single day, you’ll still have a chance to get that new item.

當你為今年的新事件物品收集到足夠的事件貨幣時，你可以用精靈或在法術商店中交換它們來解鎖化妝品或獲得你想要的與事件相關的法術?；顒悠陂g可用的活動貨幣也將超過您解鎖新化妝品所需的貨幣，因此如果您錯過了一些景點或無法每天玩，您仍然有機會獲得新物品。

Event currencies have some similarities to Seasonal Candles. For example:

事件貨幣與季節(jié)蠟燭有一些相似之處。例如：

• Currencies won’t carry over from one event to another, but enough are available during an event to unlock this year’s new IGC cosmetics.
• 貨幣不會從一個活動轉移到另一個活動，但在一個活動期間有足夠的貨幣來解鎖今年的新IGC化妝品。
• You won’t need to get all the event currency available every single day to unlock new event items.
• 您不需要每天獲得所有可用的活動貨幣來解鎖新的活動物品。
• Currencies are in set locations each day, and their location in an event will rotate.
• 貨幣每天都在固定的位置，它們在事件中的位置將旋轉。
• Everyone starts on the same page when an event begins, no matter how recently (or long ago) they joined Sky.
• 當一個事件開始時，每個人都從同一個頁面開始，無論他們加入Sky的時間有多近（或很久以前）。

However, there are also some key differences between event currencies and Seasonal Candles. For example:

然而，活動貨幣和季節(jié)性蠟燭之間也有一些關鍵區(qū)別。例如：

• At the end of an event, unused event currencies do not convert to Candles or anything else.
• 在活動結束時，未使用的活動貨幣不會轉換為蠟燭或其他任何東西。
• From one event to another, there may be a different total number of event currency available each day.
• 從一個事件到另一個事件，每天可能有不同總數(shù)的可用事件貨幣。

Event Currency FAQ?活動貨幣常見問題

1. What exactly can I use event currencies for?

1.我可以使用活動貨幣做什么？

Mainly, these will be for the year’s new event cosmetics such as IGC capes, accessories, and props, but they can also be used for spells that are available only during the event. There’s a limited amount of event currency available for each event, though, so if there’s a new IGC cosmetic you want, take note of what you’ll need to unlock it before deciding whether to spend a lot of that currency on event spells.

主要是，這些將是今年的新事件化妝品，如IGC斗篷，配件和道具，但他們也可以用于法術，只有在事件中可用。不過，每個事件的事件貨幣數(shù)量有限，所以如果你想要一個新的IGC化妝品，在決定是否在事件法術上花費大量貨幣之前，請注意解鎖它所需的內(nèi)容。

2. Where will I find event currency?

2.我在哪里可以找到活動貨幣？

In general, you can find them around the area where an event is being held, or alongside a daily quest that is themed for an event. Specifically—well, as a hint: look around as you play, explore the event space, rummage in shelves, take part in the different activities and event offers, that kind of thing.

一般來說，你可以在活動舉辦的區(qū)域周圍找到它們，或者在以活動為主題的日常任務旁邊找到它們。具體來說，好吧，作為一個提示：當你玩的時候環(huán)顧四周，探索活動空間，在貨架上翻找，參加不同的活動和活動提供，諸如此類的事情。

3. How much event currency can I find each day? How much event currency will be available total during an event?

3.我每天可以找到多少活動貨幣？在一次活動期間，總共有多少活動貨幣可用？

The amount available each day will be different from event to event—keep an eye on our blog and patch notes for specifics when updates arrive! The total amount available during an event can also change, especially since some events are longer than others. Note that on weekends, you may also find some extras if you look around a bit more.

每天可用的數(shù)量將因活動而異-請關注我們的博客和補丁說明，了解更新到達時的具體情況！事件期間可用的總量也可以改變，特別是因為一些事件比其他事件長。請注意，在周末，如果你多看看周圍，你也可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)一些額外的東西。

4. Will I need to play every day?

4.我需要每天玩嗎？

Nope! To get the amount of event currency needed to unlock new IGC event cosmetics, you’ll need to play the majority of the event, but you’ll still have leeway to miss currency. Roughly speaking, you’ll need to play about the same?proportion?of an event as the proportion of a Season you would need to play to get everything that can be unlocked with a Season pass.

不行！要獲得解鎖新IGC活動化妝品所需的活動貨幣數(shù)量，您需要玩大部分活動，但您仍然有機會錯過貨幣。粗略地說，你需要玩一個事件的比例與你需要玩一個賽季的比例大致相同，才能獲得賽季通行證可以解鎖的一切。

5. Can I buy event currency IAP bundles?

5.我可以購買活動貨幣IAP捆綁包嗎？

These aren’t planned to be available as IAP. We want to set the most level playing field we can for new IGC event items, so that no matter what country a player is in or what their budget is, the way to access event currency is the same: simply playing the event and finding that event’s currency as they go.

這些不計劃作為IAP提供。我們希望為新的IGC活動物品設置最公平的競爭環(huán)境，這樣無論玩家在哪個國家或他們的預算是多少，獲得活動貨幣的方式都是相同的：簡單地播放事件并在事件進行時找到該事件的貨幣。

6. What happens if I don’t start playing an event until it’s almost over?

6.如果我在一個事件快結束時才開始播放它，會發(fā)生什么？

With event currency, we want to try an approach where the only requirement is just to play most of an event. Unfortunately this does mean that if a player joins closer to the end of an event, a new IGC cosmetic may no longer be available to them based on the total remaining event currency they can collect. However, IGC items will still return the following year, so the opportunity to unlock it won’t be lost forever!

對于事件貨幣，我們希望嘗試一種方法，其中唯一的要求就是播放事件的大部分內(nèi)容。不幸的是，這確實意味著如果玩家在接近活動結束時加入，則根據(jù)他們可以收集的剩余活動貨幣總額，他們可能不再可以獲得新的IGC化妝品。然而，IGC項目仍然會在明年返回，因此解鎖它的機會不會永遠失去！

7. Won’t this mean my Candles aren’t useful anymore?

7.這不是意味著我的蠟燭不再有用了嗎

If you’ve been building up your Candle inventory, there will still be other ways to use them—friends, helping out moths, Traveling Spirits, constellations, spells, perhaps a returning item or two from an event that you missed last year, etc. Event currency will simply free up some of that inventory for parts of the game other than new event cosmetics.

如果你一直在建立你的蠟燭庫存，仍然會有其他的方式來使用它們-朋友，幫助飛蛾，旅行精神，星座，咒語，也許是你去年錯過的一個事件的返回項目或兩個，等等。事件貨幣將只是釋放一些庫存的部分游戲以外的新事件化妝品。

8. Will leftover currency from an event convert to candles?

8.活動剩余的貨幣會兌換成蠟燭嗎？

No, it will not. By making this system separate from Candles, it avoids impacting the Candle economy and the risk of pushing it out of balance.

不，不會的。通過使該系統(tǒng)與Candles分開，它避免了影響Candle經(jīng)濟以及使其失去平衡的風險。

9. Can I exchange something like Candles or Hearts for event currency?

9.我可以用蠟燭或紅心之類的東西兌換活動貨幣嗎？

We understand wanting a large-scale exchange of one currency for another, but making event currency tightly bound to Candles and Hearts could create other unwelcome economic pressures, and would feed back into the pressures players have been feeling with Candles that we wanted to reduce in the first place.

我們理解想要大規(guī)模地將一種貨幣兌換成另一種貨幣，但是將事件貨幣與蠟燭和紅心緊密綁定可能會產(chǎn)生其他不受歡迎的經(jīng)濟壓力，并且會反饋到玩家對蠟燭的壓力中，而這正是我們首先想要減少的。

That said, while beta testing this feature, we also heard from testers asking for a bit more wiggle room when collecting these. So, for the first event with event currency, spells will be offered on certain days to convert one of the other currencies for a limited number of event currency.

也就是說，在測試這個功能的同時，我們也聽到測試人員要求在收集這些功能時有更多的回旋余地。因此，對于第一個使用事件貨幣的事件，將在特定日期提供咒語，以將其他貨幣之一轉換為有限數(shù)量的事件貨幣。

But, to be candid about this, the conversion is not meant to be a bargain or a quick shortcut. Like we said above, our biggest aim is for playing the event being the only requirement to unlock new IGC cosmetics, so while these conversion options won’t be a shortcut, we do hope they can be a helpful buffer.

但是，坦率地說，這種轉換并不意味著是一個討價還價或快速的捷徑。就像我們上面說的，我們最大的目標是玩活動是解鎖新IGC化妝品的唯一要求，所以雖然這些轉換選項不會是一個捷徑，我們希望它們可以是一個有用的緩沖。

10. Will returning IGC items from other years still cost Candles or Hearts?

10.從其他年份返回的IGC物品仍然需要蠟燭或紅心嗎？

Yes! Event currencies are only used to unlock new IGC cosmetics being offered this year. Items from 2022 and earlier years will remain available for Candles or Hearts.

好耶！活動貨幣僅用于解鎖今年提供的新IGC化妝品。2022年及更早年份的物品將繼續(xù)用于蠟燭或心形。

11. Can I save up event currency before an event?

11.我可以在活動前保存活動貨幣嗎？

Since event currency does not roll over from one event to the next, saving up in advance won’t be possible. While we get that some folks might wish for the option, it would eventually lead to similar pressures players have told us they feel about stocking up Candles, which would bring us back to the situation we’re trying to avoid!

由于事件貨幣不會從一個事件滾動到下一個事件，因此無法提前儲蓄。雖然我們得到一些人可能希望的選擇，它最終會導致類似的壓力，球員告訴我們，他們覺得庫存蠟燭，這將使我們回到我們試圖避免的情況！

12. Do I need to buy an event pass or anything to get event currency?

12.我需要購買活動通行證或其他東西來獲得活動貨幣嗎？

Nope! Event currency is entirely free, and no extra purchase will be needed to collect them or unlock new IGC event items.

不行！活動貨幣是完全免費的，不需要額外購買來收集它們或解鎖新的IGC活動物品。

A New Experience for Events?活動新體驗

Event currency is a feature meant to be played more than it’s meant to be read about, so this might feel like a lot of information all at once. You’ll soon be able to try it for yourself when our next event begins later this month, though! Once you’ve had a chance to try these event currencies in the live version of the game, we’d be interested to hear about your experience of them as we work to further refine the feature in later updates.

事件貨幣是一個功能，意味著玩比它的意思是閱讀，所以這可能會感覺像很多信息都在一次。你很快就可以嘗試它為自己當我們的下一個活動開始本月晚些時候，雖然！一旦你有機會在游戲的實時版本中嘗試這些事件貨幣，我們很有興趣聽到你的體驗，因為我們將在以后的更新中進一步完善該功能。

In the meantime, stay tuned to Discord and our social media channels, and we’ll see you in the skies!
