Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer
The residents of the Commons want to close out summer with a blast! That big old event field sits there empty most of the time anyways. Help them build an awesome temporary pool to chill out beside. Once you've completed all three building quests, the residents will come in and there will be 3 turn-in stations where you can bring Towels, Sunscreen and Life Rings to get event tokens for buying this year's custom items!
Nate's New Puppies!
Plus, foster an adorable puppy for Nate. It seems he's accidentally ordered too many dogs (again!!) and needs your help to look after them temporarily. Choose one of the 3 to help him out! Once you equip your dog, Nate has some daily quests for you to do to keep the ball of energy that is your puppy occupied. Love the look of the dog? Permanently adopt it with a simple purchase! You can choose between the Raiju Puppy, Aralez Puppy, and Qiqirn!
Puppy and Person Training
A professional dog trainer will help train your puppy AND you! As dog owners need to know how to care for their puppy.
Puppy Mill Protest
Miss Marbles is rooting out awful puppy mills this event, and could use your assistance!
Race Track
Check out the Companion Racing Track once it becomes available, and you'll be able to bet on pet races! You can only win the prizes once per day though.
The Next Race Track Champion
Later on in the event, you'll need to help an NPC train their unlikely companion to participate in the race!
New for 2022
If you can complete the event, you'll earn the Dog Days Flower Box!
Wally's Custom Trinket
You can also look forward to a 8th upgrade to the trinket Wally has made for you! With some more glitter, he can improve it from Ritzy to Magnificent, which is 3-ish% more effective!
