In Sky: Children of the Light, the Days of Feast preview in Beta build 0.35.5 separates seasonal items into free event ticket unlocks and premium in-app purchase (IAP) cosmetics. To plan your resources effectively, gather daily event tickets for current items as soon as the live event begins, and reserve your regular Candles and Hearts for returning items from previous years.
Because Beta 0.35.5 is an early testing build, visual details, cosmetic models, and pricing structures remain subject to change before the event deploys to global live servers.
Days of Feast Item Acquisition Routes
New cosmetics introduced in the Days of Feast testing environment follow two main acquisition paths, while returning festive items follow a third:
- New Event Ticket Cosmetics: Unlocked from the event guide or seasonal stands using temporary event tickets. These tickets appear in the active event area daily and require no real money, standard Candles, or Ascended Candles.
- New In-App Purchases (IAP): Purchased through the in-game shop menu with real-world currency. These typically include capes with specialized particle effects, distinct head accessories, or interactive multi-seat props.
- Returning Legacy Cosmetics: Items from prior Days of Feast seasons do not use the new event tickets. Instead, returning spirits and kiosks offer them for standard Candles or Hearts.
| Acquisition Route | Required Currency | Primary Acquisition Method | Future Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Event Rewards | Daily Event Tickets | Collected daily in the event space | Commonly returns in future years for standard Candles |
| Direct Shop Purchases | Real-world currency (IAP) | In-game cash shop menu | Returns in subsequent winter events as paid items |
| Legacy Event Items | Regular Candles and Hearts | Event spirits in the central hub | Rotates back during annual Days of Feast reruns |
How to Test New Cosmetics Before Spending
Sky provides temporary trial spells in testing and live spaces so you can inspect cosmetic assets before committing currencies. Follow these steps to evaluate item appearance and movement:
- Visit the Event Hub: Travel to Home or Aviary Village once the event installations and guide spirit are active.
- Collect Free Trial Spells: Interact with the temporary spell kiosk near the event guide to claim zero-cost trial spells for the new capes, accessories, and props.
- Check Lighting Across Multiple Realms: Activate a spell and travel through varied environments. Test fabric tones and glows in bright areas like Valley of Triumph, neutral light in Daylight Prairie, and dim environments like Golden Wasteland.
- Evaluate Flight Mechanics and Clipping: Take flight to observe wing trail effects, slipstream particles, and how headwear or capes interact with your current hair and mask choices.
Currency Preparation and Key Failure Points
Preparation should focus on inventory balance and daily routine rather than immediate candle conversion.
- Collect Daily Tickets Early: Event tickets do not roll over to future seasons and cannot be converted into standard Candles once the celebration concludes. Unused tickets expire when Days of Feast ends.
- Do Not Neglect Standard Candle Reserves: Because newly introduced cosmetics use event tickets, your daily Candle runs can be directed toward previous years' items. If you plan to buy returning legacy items, maintain a steady balance of standard Candles and Hearts before the event arrives.
- Treat Beta Visuals as Work in Progress: Assets in Beta 0.35.5 demonstrate styling themes—such as plush trim, festive palettes, and social props—but sound effects, texture boundaries, and monetary prices can adjust based on testing feedback. Use trial spells when the event reaches live servers to confirm final appearance before purchasing.
