Event: "Eternal Summer Watermelon Rhapsody"
Event Period
August 19, 2026 (Wednesday) after regular maintenance to September 16, 2026 (Wednesday) before regular maintenance (scheduled)
Overview
During the event period, the event map "Thieves' Island" appears.
"Thieves' Island" is available to characters level 75 and above, with entry limited to 60 minutes per day per account. Players can reset their remaining time using a "Special Map Ticket," obtainable from the official shop.
Defeating monsters on "Thieves' Island" drops the event item "Special Watermelon Slice."
Collected "Special Watermelon Slices" can be exchanged for items such as the "Honor Battlefield Entry Permit," the "Mission Lottery Box," and the "Magic-Filled Special Watermelon."
Using the "Honor Battlefield Entry Permit" applies an exclusive buff for a set time, and while both the buff and Einhasad's Blessing are active, players can enter the event map "Honor Battlefield," where they can earn large amounts of experience points.
Opening a "Mission Lottery Box" yields 1 to 100 "Mission Lottery Coins," and rewards are distributed at the end of the event based on the total number collected.
Opening a "Magic-Filled Special Watermelon" grants a chance, at set rates, to obtain valuable items such as the "Maple Ring" and the "Mythic Resurrection Skill Selection Box."
The "Vacation Swimwear" event is also running at the same time as this event.
Players can exchange 2,000,000 Adena for a swimsuit from the Swimwear Merchant NPC (*) and equip it to transform into a class- and gender-specific swimsuit appearance.
While transformed, players can obtain a "Vacation Ice Box" every 720 seconds, up to 10 per day.
Opening a "Vacation Ice Box" yields event-exclusive items such as health potions and mana potions.
Don't miss this chance to take part in Lineage's summer event!
