Arrrbor Day

Today is Arrrbor Day! Head down to the Distant Woods, and help the pirates plant some trees!

---

Arrrbor Day is a relatively new holiday in the Kingdom, and is based less on ridiculous old traditions and more on caring for our mother Earth. It began in the pirate community, and due to their persuasive leaflet campaign (and the use of moderate amounts of force) it caught on in the rest of the Kingdom. It's customary to spend the day thinking good thoughts about the earth and the environment, and to go to the pirates' Arrrboretum and plant a sapling or two. And it's customary for the pirates to go to the Arrrboretum and cut down last year's saplings to make more ships. For the environment.

Festivities

• Help the pirates plant saplings in The Arrrboretum, a location in the Distant Woods.
• The Timbarrrr adventure in the Arrrboretum gives you the choice of 3 different tree types to help plant.
  • bag of Crotchety Pine saplings
  • bag of Saccharine Maple saplings
  • bag of Laughing Willow saplings
• The first adventure of the next Arrrbor Day that you participate in will give you a reward depending on the number of saplings planted on the previous holiday.
• If you planted an Underworld acorn the previous holiday, one of your next adventures will give you an Underworld sapling.

Notes

• Official Holiday Description
• Saplings are planted by adventuring in The Arrrboretum with whatever bag of saplings you chose.
• If 100 or more saplings are planted, you are rewarded with a piece of the Arrrbor Day Apparrrrrel outfit; if between 2 and 99 (inclusive) saplings are planted, the reward is a handful of Crotchety Pine needles, a handful of Laughing Willow bark, or a lump of Saccharine Maple sap. You get one reward per holiday, and you collect your reward next Arrrbor Day.
• If you ascend with a bag of saplings, it will be deleted, and the sappy pirate will not give you another bag that Arrrbor Day.
• Be forewarned: If you planted saplings while not in Bad Moon and attempt to collect your reward while in Bad Moon, you will only get a handful of Crotchety Pine needles, a handful of Laughing Willow bark, or a lump of Saccharine Maple sap, rather than the piece of the Arrrbor Day Apparrrrrel outfit you planned on. (Verified as untrue as of August 29th, 2011. Count your adventures well.)
