Journey Into the Shadows Leaderboard Event

After gathering on the outskirts of the Dark Forest for over a year, UNIM has been depleted and Unicorns are forced to venture into uncharted territory! While the Gathering Cart was optimal for short distance excursions, it does not fare well against rugged terrain. Instead, Unicorns must team up in parties to venture into this mysterious territory on their long-distance journey.

Unicorns beware however, rumor has it that mysterious entities reside in the depths of the forest. To prepare for the journey and the opposition they may enter, Unicorns will need to establish a base camp in each Shadowcorn section (Fire, Slime, Soul, Volt, & Nebula) and obtain a set of Journey items needed to sustain their journey in the treacherous territories.

The first step to conquering the forest will be to gain a foothold in each zone by completing the Introduction Story Quest.

Completing this gives you access to the Into the Abyss Story Quest Set. Once you finish the Introduction Story Quest, you will start receiving your Daily and Weekly Into the Abyss Story Quests depending on when your Quest timer resets.

Over time, as Unicorns become accustomed to performing expeditions into the Dark Forest, additional Quest Sets will be released that allow Unicorn Questing parties to venture further into its depths. Beware, the further a Unicorn Quest Party travels, the higher the risk of Shadowcorn opposition.

The event will begin with the release of the Into the Abyss Quest Set which focuses on journeys just beyond the outskirts. The next series of Quest Sets (Movement of Shadows & Darkness Arises) will focus on mid — long distance travels with the last set (Territorial Claim) ending near the middle of the Dark Forest.

This Leaderboard event will contain 3 Milestone events that feed into an overarching Leaderboard! Players can earn points towards the leaderboard by completing UNIM quests, with the points earned scaling based on the rarity of the quest.

The Shadowcorns’ Share

The Shadowcorns know that something is afoot, and they’re not happy about it! These dastardly deviants will stop at nothing to hinder the Unicorns’ progress.

For the duration of the Journey Into the Shadows Leaderboard Event, 75% of the rewards of any failed UNIM quest will be distributed to Shadowcorn holders on a monthly basis once the Minion Forge is released. Shadowcorn Holders will continue to receive UNIM after this Leaderboard Event but the distribution mechanics are subject to change.

We’ll start counting the UNIM from failed quests this Thursday, July 13 UTC. Distribution will begin a few weeks after the release of the Minion Forge and will continue on a monthly cadence after. The reward share is determined by:

1. The number of Shadowcorns owned in your wallet
2. The rarity of your Shadowcorns
3. Your participation in the Minion Forge! 🔥

We’ll share more information about Minion Forge participation mechanics in our Minion Forge article.

Stay tuned, denizens of darkness!
