The Blue Salt Festival Has Arrived!
During the Blue Salt Festival, festival period rules will be in full effect in Sanddeep, preventing PvP from happening on the festival grounds, thereby welcoming visitors of all continents!
What activities can I expect at the Festival?
Collect sand, assemble sand sculptures, and help out Artist Mendelson and Vivalt with their art in the form of 5 daily Quests! Don't forget to try out Sandy's Hot Fried Chicken, too, as it wouldn't be a Festival without it!
Along with the typical variety of entertainment you can expect at a festival, be aware of an uninvited guest whose sole purpose is ruining the Blue Salt Festival! You can protect the festival from this treacherous foe at the following times and collect even more Summer Festival Coins:

Rock 'n' Scroll Is Back!
Every day during the event, players level 30 and above that maintain an online connection for two consecutive hours will receive a Gem Upgrade Scroll! This scroll can be claimed by activating the button in the lower-left corner of the screen. You can obtain 10 Gem Upgrade Scrolls per day, per account through consistent gameplay!
Use your Gem Upgrade Scroll to upgrade your Ruby all the way up to a Prismatic Diamond (if you so choose!) These Scrolls work similarly to Awakening equipment, so the possibility of failure is there. If you have upgraded all 3 of your gems, you can exchange the remaining Gem Upgrade Scrolls you receive for 5 Gilda Stars at the Gem Exchanger.
There are also Daily Quests to get your fix of Gem Upgrade Scrolls. Compete in the faction competitions, complete your family quests, and participate in the daily militia quests in order to get even more scrolls!
Beautiful Gems! What are they for?
After you're done upgrading your Gem, head to the Gem Exchanger on Mirage Isle and exchange it for a reward that aligns with your gem's current rank! This year, some rewards have changed. The rewards are:
ArcheAge Receives New Login Rewards!

What do I do?
If you're level 30 or above, celebrate Independence Day by completing quests from NPCs in the event grounds in Falcorth Plains and receive Freedom Festival Tickets for your hard work! After obtaining your tickets, you can exchange them at the Claw Machine in Mirage Isle for a chance to receive one of three ball variants: Gold Ball, Blue Ball, or Red Ball.
