The Yanada Event, the 1st Wisp Event that happened

A Wisp Event is the first type of special moth events introduced on the 29th June in 2016.

However, Wisp Events have been absent since 15th June 2021 (Phalaina event), & as of May 30th 2023, Wisp Events have been officially announced as being temporarily retired while some in-game mechanics are being worked on.

During a Wisp Event, players had to catch wisps released by the Wisp Mother to get special attraction flowers for event moths.

Some time before the start of the Wisp Event, a sleeping Wisp Mother would show up between the leaves next to the incubator and would wake up once the event starts. However, this no longer happened in Wisp Events as of 2020, as she spawned wisps the moment a Wisp Event began.

As soon as a Wisp Event began, players would receive a notification message that read "Starlight - An event has just begun! A whole new set of moths are yours to collect!"

Event Mechanics[]

To get the attraction flowers, you need to catch the wisps, which are released when you tap the ready Wisp Mother. The Wisp Mother is able to spawn wisps every 2 hours, with 3 to 5 wisps spawned each time.

A notification message that reads "Starlight - The Wisp Mother is ready!" should appear to let the player know when the Wisp Mother is ready to spawn wisps.

However, this notification will fail to appear if the device was powered off during the two hours where the Wisp Mother is sleeping, so a countdown app may be needed.

After wisps have been spawned, in order to catch them, tap a wisp, and a menu with two options with net icons will appear at the bottom of the screen.

The first option Try Capture is free, but doesn't guarantee a successful capture, with each wisp having a chance to escape from the player. Escaped wisps are removed from the forest.

The second option Capture costs 20 Icon§Glowbuck, but will guarantee a successful capture.

During the event, it is possible to purchase Golden Wisp Nets in the shop, which act similarly to this option and guarantee a successful capture when used.

All of these Golden Net packs can be viewed in the slideshow below:

Each wisp color corresponds to a specific event moth, depending on their rarity, and will drop a 10% attraction flower for said moth when caught. Currently the wisp colours correspond with the following moth rarities: common (white), uncommon (green), rare (blue), epic (purple), legendary (yellow).

Every event flower fills all three incubator slots (region, rarity and size) at once, so it is not possible or necessary to place rarity and size flowers.

It's possible to buy specific event attraction flowers right at the attraction flower inventory while the event is active. It's not possible to get them from other usual flower sources like feeding Trevor or Bee Fly.

After the event is concluded, any remaining event flowers will be converted to honeydew.

The following decorations had abilities that assisted in Wisp Events:

Note: As of May 30th 2023, an update removed all these decoration abilities & replaced them with other abilities. These may or may not return in the future

Tips[]

- The first time you launch the game after the start of the event, the Wisp Mother will spawn some white wisps, enough for one 100% Common event flower. It seems that these starter wisps will always be caught.

- Apparently, at least one catch is guaranteed per wisp spawn! You can manipulate it by trying to catch less needed wisps first, and if all of them miss, you'll get a guaranteed catch on the last one. Catching a wisp with the net or via decoration ability will count as a catch, however, and will negate this effect.

- Event decoration packs usually come with a temporary bonus effect of doubling the wisp spawn, making it 6 to 10 wisps per spawn. Buy the pack once Wisp Mother is ready, so you can immediately benefit from the effect.

- There is a number of past decorations that help with Wisp events. Notably, both common and deluxe decorations for Boom set have a Wisp event ability; these may appear in Ant Events. Paperflower Penjing is a decoration you can buy on a decoration sale, and you can have many of them in your forest.

- If you need to hurry the Wisp Mother, check when hurrying cost will change. Hurrying the Wisp Mother right after the spawn will cost you 30 Icon§Glowbuck. The cost goes down 1 Icon§Glowbuck each 4 minutes. At 30 minutes remaining, this costs 8 glowbucks. The Currency page has a guide on how much hurrying will cost depending on the remaining time.

- Use an app that has a countdown timer & set it to 2 hours; this will help you to remember when the Wisp Mother is ready to spawn more wisps in case notifications fail to appear (which happens when the phone/tablet is turned off.)

- Compare the cost of 100% event attraction flowers & egg laying; usually, egg laying cost less than the flowers, so it would be cheaper to get a moth to lay an egg, than to buy an attraction flower for one.

- Do NOT panic; any exclusive decorations that are missed out on will return in Ant Events, which are not too hard to complete. However, the prizes on Ant Events are randomly generated.

- It's advisable to only spend glowbucks if an event decoration's ability helps to complete future events. Such as the case with abilities that allow to lay an egg for free or hurry caterpillars, pupas and eggs.

- When laying an event moth egg, make sure that there's enough time left in the event for the moth to mature. Legendary moths require a total of 8 hours to fully grow, with each caterpillar stage taking 2 hours.

- Merge all flowers, even ones you no longer need; 50% event flowers are likely to fail, so make sure you always use 100% flowers to attract event moths. Flowers that are no longer needed (because that event moth has been perfected) can still be merged, & when the event ends, those unwanted 100% flowers will be converted into more honeydew than a non-100% flower would be.

- Set shifts on all Pollen Flowers on a day before an event starts; make sure that the number of pollen in the sanctuary is maxed out (3000 or over). This makes leveling up an event moth easier, since you will not have to wait for pollen to be created, which would cost much needed time.
