The event's conclusion brought in a new NPC and a new town, complete with daily errands and a full NPC shop, as well as possible future content!

• The Stranger's initial quest line starting from "Amid the Murk and Mire"
• You will unlock a shop at the quest's conclusion which requires Crimson Energy. 
• "Traversing the Warring Forest" can be completed twice a day from now on, allowing new players to unlock the later content in 8 days instead of 15.
• The New Daily Errands - Amount of Crimson Energy gained per quest completion has been raised from 5 to 10, negative route completion has been raised from 2 to 5.
• The Various Witch Fruit hatchable recipes have been moved to the Officiator's Record Office
• The Stranger's Wares shop has disappeared along with the Summer Seasonal clothing sets, which will return next year in a different event.
• Crimson Energy can be obtained in: Random Encounters, Random Item Alchemy, Adventuring Encounters & Bar Rewards, 3's Forest Cleanup
  

All Witches War quests are now part of a permanent side storyline that will unlock the new area for players.
Any players that have not started the Witches War storyline can begin the "Amid the Murk and Mire" quest in their own time after completing the initial main storyline in 3's Forest, namely after completing the "Returning to Trout" main quest.

Here are some plans for improvements for future events like this that we've accumulated from hosting this event!

• This was our first event with permanent content unlocked as a result, and we're excited about new functions that we were able to code in for future storyline mechanics.
• We're looking forward to doing more permanent content releases through events and a bigger variety of content!
• Team Selection -  We'll be looking into ways to give users more agency and choice in the team they help, while still keeping the teams relatively balanced.
• We'll be making it so that draws by default and draws from duel responses give different rewards, draws by default should give the default less amount while draws from duel responses should get a bigger reward.
• We'll be looking at the daily losing team point gain boost to make it more balanced and give teams more agency.
• We'll be looking into various ways to safeguard against cheating both through coding as well as balancing.
• We'll be adjusting the team insignia code to allow them to linger for a time after the event ends.
  

Our next event will be a fun Winter themed event with a more casual, less lore-heavy story some time this season! More news is incoming when we're ready.
