Glimmerbury Contests

Catch falling star shards in the nightly Starfall and walk the runway in the hourly Fashion Show, two contests in Glimmerbury.

Glimmerbury Contests are short events for everyone in a Glimmerbury server: the Starfall every night, and the Fashion Show every hour at half past. Both pay crystals, and the Starfall can give you a rare decoration for your home.

Glimmerbury is the town you reach by train. The line opens once you finish the main story quest A Solid Start. See Veyra for where to board.

Schedule

Only one contest runs at a time. If a contest is due while another one is running, it waits until the other one ends.

When	Contest	What You Do
Every night at 10 PM (game time)	Starfall	Race to pick up star shards that fall around town, then sell them to Veyra
Every hour at half past	Fashion Show	Dress for a theme, walk the runway, and rate the other models

Every Glimmerbury server shares the same time of day, so the Starfall falls at the same moment in all of them. A day in the game lasts 35m, so the Starfall comes about every 35m. See Day and Night.

The Contest Bar

A bar at the top of the screen shows the contest that is running. It shows how many star shards are left during the Starfall, and the theme and models during the Fashion Show.

Clock: Starts in while the Fashion Show takes sign-ups, and Ends in while a contest runs.
Buttons: such as Join while the Fashion Show takes sign-ups. Press J (D-pad down on a gamepad) to use the bar’s main button.

Starfall

In the Starfall, a star breaks apart over Glimmerbury and rains shards across town. Pick them up and sell them to Veyra for crystals.

The Star Falls

At 10 PM, without warning, everyone in Glimmerbury sees a short scene: a star streaks over the rooftops and bursts at the fountain crystal, and its shards fly out and land all around town. You stay where you are. You can skip the scene.

Find a Shard

Look around town for the glowing shards. The contest bar shows how many are left.

Pick It Up

Walk up to a shard and press E (A on a gamepad) when the Pick Up prompt shows. The first player to pick up a shard keeps it.

Sell to Veyra

Take your shards to Veyra at her red wagon and choose Sell my star shards. She buys all of them at once for 5 crystals each.

Rules

Shards per Starfall: 3 to 12. The more players in the server, the more shards fall.
Shards you can keep: 3 per Starfall, even if you switch servers. After your third, leave the rest for other players. The golden shard does not count, and you can take one golden shard per Starfall.
Shards per day: 9, across every Starfall and server. After your ninth shard, the next ones are left for other players. The count starts over at midnight UTC.
How long it lasts: until every shard is picked up, or 5m at most. Shards nobody picked up fade away.
First catch: everyone in the server sees a chat message naming the first player to pick up a shard.

The Golden Shard

Each Starfall has a 10% chance that one of its shards is golden. Pick it up and you get a Star Sliver for your home instead of a star shard. It does not count toward your limit of 3, so you can still take it after you have three shards. Everyone in the server sees a chat message when someone finds it.

Item	Rarity	What It Is For
Star Shard	Epic	Sell it to Veyra for 5 crystals. Up to 99 stack in one slot. Kalt and Silas do not buy it.
Star Sliver	Mythical	A 1x1 decoration for your home. It only comes from the golden shard. See the Furniture Catalog.

Fashion Show

In the Fashion Show, up to 12 players dress for a theme and walk the runway at the bandstand, and everyone else rates their looks.

Sign-ups open 2m before half past. The contest bar shows the theme and how many models have signed up. Press Join on the contest bar while you are in Glimmerbury. Changed your mind? Press Leave before sign-ups close.

Dress for the Theme

Joining opens the show wardrobe. Until sign-ups close, press Change outfit on the contest bar to open it again.

Walk the Runway

At half past, the show starts. Each model gets about 8s on the runway to walk on, twirl, and pose.

Rate the Looks

Everyone watching, the other models too, rates each look from 1 to 5 stars. You can rate each look once, and you cannot rate your own. Press Cheer (C, or D-pad right on a gamepad) to throw flower petals at the model. Cheers are just for fun and do not change the score.

Meet the Winners

The best models step onto the podium and win crystals: up to three, and always one fewer than the models in the show.

The Show Wardrobe

You can wear any clothing piece in the game for the show, even pieces you do not own.
The show outfit is only for the show. When the show ends, pieces you do not own go back and you wear your saved look again.
If a piece is for sale, the wardrobe shows its price, and you can buy it right there and keep it.

Themes

Each show has one theme, and all 15 themes come up before one repeats: Cottage Core, Rainy Day, Beach Day, Royal Ball, Garden Party, Cozy Winter, Spooky Night, Stargazer, Market Day, Pajama Party, Forest Witch, Tea Time, All One Color, Sunset Picnic, and Dream Job.

Prizes

Place	Prize
1st	20 crystals, and a sparkle around you until the next Fashion Show
2nd	10 crystals
3rd	5 crystals

How the places are decided:

Your score is your average star rating, but a look with only a few ratings counts closer to 3 stars. Many good ratings beat a single 5-star rating.
If two scores tie, the model with more ratings places higher. If that ties too, the model who signed up first places higher.
A model needs at least 2 ratings to place. If no model gets 2, there are no winners.
The podium has one place fewer than there are models: a show with 2 models pays only 1st, and a show with 3 pays 1st and 2nd.
You must still be in the server when the results show to win a prize.

Shards land all over town, not only near the fountain. The scene shows where one of them lands.
You can keep 3 shards each Starfall, so one Starfall can earn you up to 15 crystals.
Stand near the bandstand at half past to watch and rate without pressing anything.
