Mega Burning at the Pixel Party!

  • CEST (UTC +2): Wednesday, April 22, 2020 (After Maintenance) - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 1:59 AM

Please avoid altering your computer time when participating in this event. Any changes to your computer time clock can cause issues when creating or deleting Burning characters for this event.

The Mega Burning Project is here to help you level a brand-new character up to Lv. 150!

Create a brand-new character during the event period and select it to have the special "Burning" effect. This event is open to characters in both Reboot and non-Reboot worlds, except for Zero characters.

After your character reaches Lv. 10, every time that character levels up it will gain an additional two levels all the way up to Lv. 150!

Here's How it Works

Create a brand-new character during the event period. From the character select screen, choose your new character to have the "Burning" effect. Then, accept the quest "[Pixel Party] Mega Burning Project" from the star event notifier on the left-side of the game window in order to start receiving rewards! Only one character per world can have the "Burning" effect.



After completing the quest "[Pixel Party] Mega Burning Project," you will receive all of your gifts immediately; however, you will not be able to use all of them until you meet the required level for each reward.

Note: Illium characters need to complete their Illium questline first before teleporting out of the area, otherwise they won't get their 2nd Job Advancement properly.
