This is a thread for discussing new events to be implemented throughout different months of the year in Bolivia. I have listed down a few events below that introduce new items and offer more individual engagement/activity.

1) Carnival de Oruro (Lasts 2 weeks. Last week of February and First week of March)
Introduces new item:
- Oruro Mask (Collectible)

Objective during the event:
- Collect drums and rattles through attacking, performing jobs, and finishing expeditions to redeem wonderful prizes.

Requirements and Prizes:

• Oruro Mask (25x Drums, 100x Rattles), can only be redeemed once throughout the duration of the event.
• Purchase an FN-SCAR at 15% off (20x Drums, 50x Rattles), which can only be redeemed once throughout the duration of the event.
• 50x coke (100x Rattles), can only be redeemed once throughout the duration of the event.
• 5x Raicilla (15x Drums), can only be redeemed twice throughout the duration of the event.
• 10x Anejo (10x Drums, 10x Rattles), can only be redeemed twice throughout the duration of the event.

Drums and Rattles Drop Rate: TBD

2) Efermerides de Tarija (Lasts 1 week. From April 15 to 21)
Introduces New Item:
- Gaucho Hat (Collectible)

Objective during the event:
- Collect flutes and Varas Ceremoniales through attacking, performing jobs, and finishing expeditions to redeem wonderful prizes.

- Same mechanics as the first proposed event. Different thresholds since this is only a 1-week event.

3) Efemerides de Sucre (Lasts 1 week. From May 25 to 31)
Introduces New Item:
- Ceremonial sword of Antonio José de Sucre (Collectible)

Objective during the event:
- Collect Escarapelas y cintas tricolores and handmade chocolates through attacking, performing jobs, and finishing expeditions to redeem wonderful prizes.

- Same mechanics as the first proposed event. Different thresholds since this is only a 1-week event.

 

I believe that these events will be a significant undertaking for the development team and the current player base. However, with events that require constant/periodic attention like these, it would certainly help with retaining current and new players alike. Everything is up for debate, and I would be happy to put together future suggestions.

I will also be fleshing out these events (in the near future) and adding events for other months of the year, considering the current implemented events, for everyone to have a proper allowance/time in between events. I would like to ask feedback from the community regarding these types of events, where constant gathering of event items is required to redeem usable items. 

Love the idea of more events, but I think a big attacking event each month is a bit too much, so if those were scaled down to an attacking event about every 3rd month I would be happy.
Then I would add some counter suggestions of having some expedition and job specific focused events as well.

Expedition specific could be something along the lines of being able to gather some different event items from different places, 1 thing from La Paz and Pando, another thing from Beni and Cochabamba, and a third item from the rest. (And make the event items tradeable, so newbies get a chance to get all these event items as well)

With job specific I'm thinking of an event for standard jobs, an event for robbery jobs and an event for advanced jobs, where you can get something special from that job type during the event, and maybe increase the success rate for the duration of the event as well.

Also, a Día de Los Muertos event for November 1st-2nd, with maybe double the rep gain and half the hosp time or at least something bigger than now.

No shade on Dan's mega PE property, but I would like to see this and some kind of rotating schedule event/events in the very next update
