What is epicweek how does it work? I am confused

Epic Week is RPR's annual birthday celebration! You can learn more about it here: https://www.rprepository.com/help/epic-week

This is the first news post of this epic week, which gives some information about the plot: https://www.rprepository.com/community/newspost.php?post=665

imma just say this is my first EW and im like overwhelmed ;-; idk what to do first

Epic Week can be laid back, or really involved--it depends on how much you want to participate. The stuff I mention here can also be found on the event page, which can also be accessed by clicking "Event" in the toolbar. If you just click around the event page a little, it'll start making sense.

An easy way to start is to periodically go exploring in the labyrinth or look up at Forohfor Castle in the sky. Both of those can give you items that can be used during the event. Some are needed to unlock the "collection" seals, others are weapons for fighting monsters, etc. There's also a fun little browser game you can play to send items down to the warriors! It has its own discussion topic on this forum where you can ask questions.

If you want to help but you're overwhelmed, whenever you find an item, there's an option to donate it to the Epic Armory. That way, other people can use it, so it's really helpful. It's up to you!

Epic Week also has a series of contests that are pretty self-explanatory! Just scroll down in the news article to reach them. We have an art contest, a comic contest, etc.

I just put together this primer... I don't know if it'll stop you from being overwhelmed, but maybe read it a little bit at a time? https://www.rprepository.com/community/newspost.php?post=672

When is the last day of epic week?

Epic Week usually takes about a week for the main quest - so probably until May 1st - but it can - and has, in the past - taken longer depending on how things go. Usually the ending will be when we unlock the final riddle/puzzle/etc!

The contests that're running all have different end dates, as well. They're listed on the rules page for each.

Okay, got it. So it isn't a set date then. Thanks!
