Update 5.8 – Lovebound šŸ’˜ Valentines Pixel Event

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Grab some flowers, a box of chocolates, and your special someone – love is in the air in Soulbound! But just as every other week, the people need your help. Itā€™s time to strap on some wings and start playing Cupid to help ensure everyoneā€™s deepest heartā€™s desire is fulfilled. Letā€™s go spread the love!

Lovebound includes a special event – ā€œA Rose By Any Other Nameā€. This event will airdrop special āœØrosesāœØ to Landholders based on their holdings, which can be turned in to the lovely Venus in Virelda to complete the event. However, with a daily limit of 1 rose per player, Landholders will have to trade with others to complete the event. Better get sharing! Roses will only be usable during this event and they will die and wither after the event ends. Landholders will need to drop roses to the other community members in order to meet the weekly target, so get out there and spread some love.

šŸ“£Participate in this weeks events anywhere in Soulbound to earn Commission Credits and Medals to exchange for exciting new rewards, including the exclusive Fatal Attraction gearset and the Doom and Bloom weapon set! šŸ†
