Look, let's be honest about holiday events in MMORPGs—they usually involve grinding until your fingers cramp. On September 23, Smilegate announced that the NPIXEL-developed MMORPG Eclipse: The Awakening is rolling out four distinct Chuseok-themed events. Through these festivities, the publisher plans to shower players with various progression materials and special rewards to supposedly enrich the gameplay experience.

The first Chuseok event, aptly named the Full Moon Festival, runs until October 7. Players can hunt monsters to gather Full Moon Coins, which can then be traded at the event crafting workshop for 10x summon tickets for Transcendence and Weapon Skins, alongside Hero-grade progression materials. Meanwhile, a dedicated exchange shop lets everyone swap tokens for items like Basic Material Selection Boxes, Power Shards, and Enhancement Materials. The event exchange and crafting shops will remain open until October 14.

Running concurrently until October 7 is the second event, encouraging players to gather Eclipse Shards for upgrades. By hunting monsters and collecting these shards, players can level up the event-exclusive sacred relic known as the Relic of the Eclipse. Depending on the relic's growth stage, the resulting Eclipse Crystals yield various goodies such as summon tickets, Soul Stones, Runes, gold, Sanctuary materials, and equipment upgrade components.

Next up is the limited-time Eclipse Time event, which boosts the drop rate of Cleon Crystals. Eclipse Time is a system players can activate whenever they fancy, granting extra currency and crafting materials for an eight-hour window. During this event, the drop rate for sanctuary expansion materials—specifically Cleon Crystals—gets a rather nice bump.

To cap things off, daily login rewards will be distributed across four days during the Chuseok holiday from September 24 to September 27. Logging in daily nets players essentials like gold, Enhancement Crystal Selection Boxes, Certificates of Restoration, Cleon Crystals, and Fruits of Origin, with an extra bonus waiting on Chuseok Day itself.

Shin Jae-ik, a director at Smilegate, stated in what the company calls a commitment to the community: "We have prepared a variety of events so that players enjoying Eclipse during the Chuseok holiday can experience a richer sense of progression." Director Shin added that the team will continue to introduce content and benefits that make the gameplay experience even more enjoyable.
