I like that we're getting swiwsuits before the event. We get the new gear to enjoy for the event AND after the event. Awesome.

It will Buuurn!

Oh yeah!! Summer Event! The long awaited!

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think we get swimsuits BEFORE the event.

- 1.18a patch implemented today (event does not start today)
- Event starts Aug 11
- Must speak to NPC to begin event participation

This leads me to believe that whatever is implemented with 1.18a related to the event is mostly behind the scenes and will come forth on Aug 11, at which point we are allowed to speak to NPCs and get swimsuits, but not before.

The event sounds boring, i'm more excited about the fireworks.

[DoctorMog]

An event consisting of more than ringing bells or killing a monster?

I'M IN!

[Corrderio]

Own Wallpaper? Got to admit that's pretty awesome.

[Haibel]

The wallpaper part made me laugh so damn hard. this is great stuff man.

We get a "heat resistant swimsuit" prior to going out Bombard hunting.

2. Faire chaperones will ask you to take part in the Bombard hunt, and provide you with special heat-resistant swimsuits.

So basically we probably get to wear some basic swimsuits while doing the event and then earn some even better ones.

Can't wait to get my trunks!

Guess I'm not sleeping tonight.
