The Tides of Conflict Awaken!
A strange calamity spreads through the forest, amplifying chaos.
All who traverse this mire are caught in the fray.
What choices will you make while being pulled to and fro?
The battle will take place for 3 weeks from:
NOVEMBER 18TH 12AM DVT to
DECEMBER 9TH 11:59PM DVT
After the battle concludes, a story finale will become available through the quest line.
The Seasonal Shop and non-team battle event content will remain open until December 16th, 11:59PM.
Welcome to Dappervolk's first Team Event!
We're excited to show you our first event which will result in new permanent content and changes to the world of Dappervolk.
THE WITCHES' WAR
- Visit the Witches' War event page to begin and get pulled into one of 3 teams at random.
- Teams cannot be chosen in order to keep team sizes and activity levels as equal as possible.
- You can switch to a different team at random twice throughout the event.
- Earn points for your team through duels and collectively completed daily team goals.
- Each day at rollover, the currently last place team will receive a 30% point boost for the whole day to help give them an edge!
DUELS
- Points for your team can be earned through dueling opposing team players.
- You can visit their profile or forum posts to initiate a duel every 3 minutes.
- Choose one of 3 spells to use in your challenge, each has its strength and weakness - similar to rock paper scissors.
- Victories, Losses, and Draws are rewarded differently.
- If a duel is not responded to within 5 hours, it will result in an automatic draw.
To begin the event story, visit a peculiar spot near 3's Forest - The Stranger's Mire! Go to the World Map and find it just east of 3's Forest.
- Speak to the Stranger at the Mire to begin the quest "Amid the Murk and the Mire"
- There are 2 quests to be unlocked in succession with a third finale quest that will become available after the end of the Witches' War on December 9th.
- "Traversing the Warring Forest" is a daily repeatable quest which can be completed once per day until the event fully concludes on December 16th.
- After the final event conclusion, additional permanent content will become available and the event storyline will be completable by users who haven't completed it yet as a one time quest that unlocks the Stranger's Mire.
- The Stranger's Wares shop is now open!
- The shop will be open until December 16th 11:59PM DVT, after which a new permanent shop will open with additional wares.
- Shop stock includes event themed clothing, up to 4 new pet hatchables, totems, seasonal summer clothing, and more!

Okay team Glume, I'm putting in my efforts for 1st so I can possibly switch to Barclay's aid. XD
Understandable, at the very least going forward I hope it'll be a bit more fair to people to actually play the game/spin the gacha as those are the people actually contributing to site. It's nice to be rewarded for playing, imo.
I'd love to see a custom token system where the legendary item is a redeemable for a maker of choice going forward instead of... how it is now. I think a lot of people want a specific maker type.
When you're mindlessly refreshing every 3 minutes to press the dual button it's WAY too easy to press the change team button without even thinking considering it's proximity to the dual and claim rewards button. I had accidentally switched teams without even realizing until I got sent to the profile of someone on mycel's team and realized I was suddenly on glume. THANKFULLY I had my team switches still but that could be devastating if you didn't have those available or weren't able to rejoin your team... 😨😨
The event looks exciting though!
Not trying to be rude at all but tbf, it is possible it's fully random but you just got bad luck. A coin flip is 50/50 but sometimes you get heads 10 times in a row- randomness doesn't necessarily mean an even distribution.
I don't disagree that it *seems* weighted toward placing you on the lower point teams(I also rolled for Barclay when he happened to be in 1st place unsuccessfully) but I don't think we can know for sure at this point.

Really enjoying the event, it's very nice and low-stress. All the little art touches like the tinted 3's Forest, profile/post additions, etc are beautiful. It's great that the teams all receive the same item rewards, I was worried at first that there would be exclusive team-based apparel or trophies awarded.
Grateful for the changes like showing total duels next to wins, the additional swaps, and reward tiers changing from wins to total played. It's very nice to see these big QoL changes rolled out so quickly into the event.
While I am enjoying the event so far, one thing that really bugs me is that due to my timezone, oftentimes my duels will go unanswered. It is something out of my hands, but it does feel unreasonably punishing, since the draw that automatically results from an unanswered duel gives me no event currency.
(In general it is counterintuitive that a draw results in less rewards than a loss.....)
If the idea is that people who aren't online themselves and let duels sit unanswered don't get a lot of rewards for that, I get that, but now it is punishing the one who IS online and doing their best.
I think the best solution would be for the rewards of a loss and a draw to be reversed, and that whoever initiated a duel automatically wins after 8 hours of no reply.
This morning I woke up to 20-odd duels I initiated before I went to sleep that all had been unanswered. I put in the effort for those 20 duals. And I got no event currency for that effort.
I get you, I had that experience too with the ping-ponging. But maybe worth considering that most people who seek to talk about the swapping will be people who had bad rolls. Like how with online reviews people are 2-3x more likely to leave a review if their experience was negative vs positive. I think it's possible a lot of people are also swapping and getting perfectly balanced rolls but aren't talking about it.
Not saying you're wrong, just speculating on a possibility ^^
36/115 duels won :')
