The Serpent Festival

Greetings, villagers of the mainland. The time has come, and the serpent has landed on the mainland and is ready for your offerings. This ancient beast is one of the last remaining from the old times, before written history, before the villages came together in a global economy and named themselves, collectively, Furvilla. This serpent is where the villagers of Quetzal Palace have made our town, and its constant movement allows us travel across the entire Furvillian continent. Except for these coming two weeks, at least...
The serpent is peculiar, you see. It enjoys collecting small animals and weaponry/armor (though we are widely uncertain what it does with these items). If you bring it an offering of these items, it will reward you in turn. Our Cloudog species was created by the serpent, and it appears that it has created more life from the clouds:
As you may note, these creatures have a breeding cool-down of one day. This means that you may attempt to breed them, if you are skilled in animal husbandry, or you can continue to offer the serpent creatures in exchange for its creations. You may find that the serpent is more rewarding, if you are seeking out a rarer animal. When the serpent leaves on March 1st, these creatures will become infertile, and will not be able to breed.
But fear not, as the Guardian Angels will be working to collect rare and super rare creatures to offer at the Gala Ball. Nonetheless, if you happen to include 5,000 FC with your animal offering, the serpent may regard which species you prefer.
The serpent is giving away weapons and armor (and a helm) that are far stronger than most we have created... and much more sturdy. Perhaps one day the serpent will share its techniques for durable construction with our blacksmiths... hm...
This is the Serpent's Feather, and you can obtain it by trading in weapons or armor to the serpent. This is the currency of the Gala Ball. If you wish to purchase anything from the Gala, then you should collect these. Hm... I do believe you may want to make sure you collect fifty of these beautiful feathers before the Gala opens... but that is your choice, of course.
That strange fellow who creates all the plushes has been hard at work designing ones for our illustrious festival... now, you may not find you are able to get your paws on these until the Gala opens. However, you can gaze upon them right now and begin your plans for collection.
Speaking of the Gala, you are aware it opens on February 21st at 12:00 PM, yes? I expect you will be getting yourself ready for that... place yourself in a nice suit or dress, and you will look your best. Perhaps you can earn yourself a VIP ticket to the Gala? Do be sure to bring plenty of feathers, as there will be many fashionable objects available at the Gala for your perusal and purchase: plushes, furniture, vistas, rare and super rare creatures... perhaps other things, as we hosts see fit.
It appears that the Skunk and Dutch Angel Dragon species have found their wings in the Fairy Costume... or an extra pair of wings, depending on who you're talking to.
The Snake and Dutch Angel Dragon species have learned to smile down upon us from the stars, and can now wear the Galaxy Costume.
The Dutch Angel Dragon and Bear species have joined our ranks in the army, and can now wear the Angelic Costume.
Now, if you will excuse me... I am a bit preoccupied with a promise I made earlier... *she searches for a note that she had written, but frustratedly cannot find it* ...oh dear. Well, this may not end well...

You know there are people in TEP that are offering free services so technically its not locked to the village. This is a good way for the community to band together and help one another.
@Admin-Deinmaar @Admin-Furvilla So Can I ask something? Will these serpent pets be available in the gala too? I mean.. come on? I still was trying to get a full collection that means female and male of each gender and it can't be that I need to pay an arm and a leg for a pet that was available during a festival. Only got ONE egg and a common came out of it (I hatched it because I had no clue it wasn't breedable).
Seems a bit odd to me that they aren't breedable and if they aren't part of the gala or if something isn't changed I'm going to be really disappointed because that would mean completing a menagerie is a no-go on FV, even if you were there from the start.
Naon Oh! Well... crap. Hopefully that's just a bug? :/
@ Calixita
It won't let me or my friend hand in the item. It sits at the screen acting like it can not be used.
Guess I'm not getting a serpent's egg since the item needed is locked to one village and is pricey in the user shops.
Thanks for shutting out a good chunk of the community and making this event even more unfun. We're supposed to be working together but only a certain group having access to it discourages the idea of a community activity.
Naon Sheelah You get the Serpent's Egg(s) by giving the Offering item to the Serpent (the Offer Item button).
If this was a matter of not enough time, I would honestly prefer a better event even if it were pushed back a bit.
We can't get the serpent's egg anymore? This really isn't fair. I certainly hope this is rectified. It's already bad enough that this turned into a Tep event when it was SUPPOSED to be a QP one. -_-
If feathers are guaranteed to be added onto weapon offerings, WHY is it possible to just get a feather with no other piece of equipment? Weapons and armor take time, effort and money to craft. We should be guaranteed a new piece of equipment WITH a feather.
Finished the plot but because I had to work I didn't end up having time to rush for stuff like those who are on at the ideal time of launch. It's nice we still get a trophy, but the fact remains everyone should have had equal opportunity for a "general trophy" the same color / place as everyone else while the event is active.
If you were not one of the first lucky people online, you didn't get the Serpent Egg either. You get the Offering or w/e which I doubt will be useful for anything.
It's nice to have site events, but when there is an advantage given clearly to those who had the chance to be online while others were working, sleeping, or at school due to timezones, it isn't very fair. I feel the event wasn't thought out well enough for those people ( myself included ) and we have to bite the bullet for it.
There was a lot of suggestions put in on how to improve events during closed beta and even during the holiday xmas event and I feel like all of that was ignored to rush this event.
