Welcome to the Festivals guild page!

This is the main wiki home for coordinating our efforts in passing the Principles and maybe even some test passes for the Test of Festivals. The Guild hall is in Asyut at 1050, 2354, just east of zFree.

Thank you for visiting and contributing!

How do I test?

Upcoming Festivals Weekend

The first Festival will be for Bastet, on Saturday April 13 at "the usual time", 3 PM EDT, 7 PM GMT
After Bastet will be Isis, on Sunday April 14, 3 PM EDT, 7 PM GMT.

To participate in a Bastet festival, you will need:

  • Testing Materials for Bastet : Honey (pillars). Camel Milk (foci) and a partner to test with. Testing Instructions
  • Ribbons and ambrosia: pick up at festivals breezeway cp, Bastet chest, Asyut 1061, 2368.
  • Ribbon coloring instructions: https://atitd.wiki/tale8/Ribbon
  • Bastet ambrosias are made with: aromatic honey and camel milk
  • Altar set up: 21 Jugs of Camel Milk, dropped individually
    • Oops! Wearing the wrong ribbons? If both ribbons are incorrect, there is an option in your Utility menu to Remove ribbons. There is no confirmation, and both ribbons are destroyed. If only one ribbon is wrong, a third ribbon can be worn and Bastet will be pleased.

If you would like assistance with your ribbons, please put your requirements in the chart below. Peacefulness has made ambrosia for all 78 combinations, and the one you need should be available, premade, in time for the festival. Many thanks to OneBanana and TheMazeEcho for providing silk and aromatic honeys needed for this Bastet festival. Thank you, Flowbar, for donating silk and ribbons.

All ambrosia varieties are being made, you do not need to put them on the chart. However, please make note of which you need so you can pick up the correct one for your avatar.


After Bastet will be Isis, on Sunday April 14, 3 PM EDT, 7 PM GMT. Many thanks to TheMazeEcho for providing the aromatic honeys and perfumes needed for this Isis festival. Thanks also to Kalmkitty for helping to brew the ambrosia.

To participate in an Isis festival, you will need:

  • Testing materials for Isis: Item A: honey (pillars), Item B: oil (foci), and a partner to test with. Testing Instructions
  • Isis Ambrosia made of : 1 db of aromatic honey and oil
  • Simple Perfume made of 10db of citrus fruit
  • Altar Set up: 7 lit Glass Torches: Emerald, Ruby or Sapphire. (21 Glass Torches are generally set up to satisfy all players' requirements)
  • Action required during festival, up to 5 minutes before ambrosia sacrifice : Apply Perfume (Self---Appearance---Apply perfume)

Isis Materials: At this time, all* Isis materials are expected to be premade and ready in time for the festival. If you are NOT participating in the Bastet festival on Saturday, you can test for Isis at any time. Otherwise, you will need to receive a message that "Bastet is pleased with your participation". This changes your requirements for all gods, including Isis. It is safe to test after that point.

(*Exception: One variety of citrus tree, Red Grapefruit, has not been successfully bred. The other 51 perfumes are premade)
