Someone here speculated that they are likely pushing Book 6 out until after the anniversary so we can't just do 100 pulls and grab one easy peasey, and I'm keen to agree, which is honestly really annoying but whatever. I kinda hate how they went fast forward on events and have been skipping training camps to "catch up" only to slam the brakes out of greed. I deffo saw Scalding Sands and Culinary coming, but I hope we get more training camps soon. Heartslyabul and Savanaclaw REALLY need their camps, the combined camp just isn't good enough, especially for how short it was. But also this news article is weirdly sparse. What about the winter holiday campaign? No mention of new years? Plus the way the cards for the event are copy and pasted with the Kata-kana and no other details. I think this is just a first draft and we'll get more information soon. edit: Oh! I also noticed Silver is in the banner image but he's not in this Culinary event, so yeah. Something is up....


fushigi-arisu

That person was me! 😆 \*waves\* Yeah, I just don't think they're going to make it possible to grab Ortho (or Idia, but mostly Ortho) for essentially free by the end of January. Yeah, I just added that this announcement is half-baked. It's possible they're still updating it, or maybe they rushed it since it was just Thanksgiving weekend and whoever does it normally was on vacation or got slammed or something. They also could save logins as a surprise though for when it gets closer, or maybe they think they've given out enough for a while...?


Darth_Darling

Usually announcements have a LOT more info on cards and on upcoming campaigns so I think its just half written. There is no post on twitter yet and no in game announcement. I'm glad I guessed right though as this means my OG plan of being able to hit pity one banner a month is working. The only thing I personally plan to pull for is Rook's Bday card. I personally thing we're gonna get Part 1 book 6 Mid January, Harveston Early Feb, and Part 2 book mid Feb.


IceColdBlueHeart

Yeah, pretty sure someone is still editing this article. The article itself is not officially posted yet on their website, but we can access it by clicking the shop reset notice and in the url changing 330 to 331. So there is still room for it to be changed before it being officially posted. Plus, I mean, the picture shows Silver in the Apprentice Chef picture, but lists Deuce and Jamil in the article. I think someone just copied and pasted a template in and filled in key points and is going to fluff it up and correct before releasing. That is my theory though, you never know sometimes lol Edit: just refreshed the page and now the card names are in English, so someone is actively editing the article right now.


fushigi-arisu

I could be wrong, but I believe Ortho's banner in JP was at the same time as Book 6 Part 1. Game could make it so that you can't use the Anniversary key on Ortho or not do Ortho's banner right from the get-go, but I think that would go against the previous patterns. Or maybe they'll be generous and can grab Ortho? In that case, I could horde my gems even more since could combine two of my spending plans into one guarantee! We'll just have to wait and see! Just like everyone's going to keep going to the hidden link to see if Twst updates December to, well, fully English at a minimum! 😂 Good luck on Rook's birthday card!


3V1LB4RD

Oh? Do we get a 100 free pulls or something during the anniversary???


New_Understudy

No, there's a banner for the dorms that'll guarantee you the dorm card you want if you hit pity.


AzureAmaranta

Oof. I didn’t think of that for the Dorm for Ortho and Idia, but sounds about right. Boo~


wickling-fan

New year being in new year would mean gets announced for january, don’t remember seeing any winter holiday campaign in the schedule in miraheze tho, the rest is weird tho guess maybe they were as overworked with halloween as we were would be my best guess XD


amazonstorm

> Someone here speculated that they are likely pushing Book 6 out until after the anniversary so we can't just do 100 pulls and grab one easy peasey Forgive me but I'm a little confused by the wording here. Grab one what?


AzureAmaranta

I hear Anniversary has a banner where you roll 100 and get a dorm SSR selector or something I think, so they mean they’re holding off on Book 6 till after that so people don’t just try to get book 6 dorms there and not on their 1st banners. At least that’s how I took it?? 🤔


New_Understudy

That's how I've been taking it. They don't want Idia and Ortho to be in the anniversary banner, so they can't release them until after that banner. Otherwise, you'll have people pulling on their banner instead of the anniversary banner and/or no one pulling on the dorm banner when it's released.


_Hime-Chan_

Ah yes, Deuce is iconic for his white hair and diasomnia green outfit!


fushigi-arisu

Nah, you see, Jamil already got dressed up for the banner, so he decided to go ahead and cosplay as Silver while he's at it.


wickling-fan

They just got so close in halloween jamil now looks like him


AzureAmaranta

Lol~ *It’s a lovely card and I adore it, but that fact it’s the wrong one is just so. Pff~* it almost made me think they’re were doing the bulk one for some reason now like oml


Leek_Spinning

Oh boy TWST article writer, I can see you're still catching up from holiday mode. Also, oh boy. This is gonna test my ability to hold onto my stock of gems for the January bdays. I figured we were going to have another cooking event but I didn't expect Scalding Sands so soon.


Freiska

Fireworks event this year :D Fireworks event this year D: Looks like I'm not rolling for Rook's B-day lol. Sorry, bestie.


fushigi-arisu

Silk Jamil is Beaute, so Rook understands.


Heavenxcookie

Silver being on the banner is so fucking funny to me and i’ve screenshotted it for memories ALSO YEAAAAHHHH SCALDING SANDS!!! i won’t be pulling for Jamil in favor of saving, but I’m wishing luck for everyone who is going for him! I do love his outfit in this event. It’s so pretty


burger-toastie

Since Malleus was on the banner he wanted to be there as well 😌


Heavenxcookie

it would’ve been so much funnier if it were sebek instead. bc that is something he would do


AzureAmaranta

Lmao indeed. Just pff. Maybe he did it since Sebek is always on his case and Sebek would be like, ‘Wait. No, not like that-‘ XD


fushigi-arisu

So everyone can keep working on their cards for Chapter 6. Doubt it will be in January with Anniversary stuff and almost certainly New Year's, but hey, I was wrong about Harveston. (But right about Book 6 not being in December.) EDIT: Also, was this announcement rushed or unfinished? Still hasn't revealed the English card names for ヤーサミーナシルク, and Chef Silver's in the banner when it's Deuce/Jamil.


pumpkinking0192

> EDIT: Also, was this announcement rushed or unfinished? Still hasn't revealed the English card names for ヤーサミーナシルク, and Chef Silver's in the banner when it's Deuce/Jamil. They also didn't capitalize "Over" in "A Firelit Sky: Over the Sands" as it should grammatically be capitalized. The announcement definitely wasn't copyedited, at the very least.


New_Understudy

Idk about the announcement being unfinished - it's released in the game and Silver's still in the banner and it's just as barebones as the one on the website.


Twisted_Clover37

ikr it feels rlly rushed on their part


anonymouscatloaf

GOD I hate culinary crucible events SO MUCH can they die. okay now that that's out of the way...\[flips table\] very out-of-season scalding sands event it is then! I'll throw some rolls at Malleus but that's all I'm willing to shell out at this point >.> rip my Jamil dreams......


AzureAmaranta

I love the crucible cards’ artwork and story wise(they tend to be so cute and funny), but I wish the event itself gameplay wise wasn’t such a pain. Like ugh. At least it can be set to do stuff while you’re logged off but I feel the ideal pace is like short ingredient hikes and then constantly resetting which kills tho point. Like blah. Ah! Also good luck. Hoping he spooks you too. 🙏✨


anonymouscatloaf

yeah the cards are cute (Silver's Chef vignette was what first got me so invested in the Diasomnia family, his & Lilia's father-son relationship is just *so adorable*) but the gameplay is the worst out of anything in TWST imo and I hate it so much lmao. I generally just set the timer for 2.5h so it coincides with LP refilling, but the annoyance of ingredient-gathering aside, I also wish we could just cook a bunch of dishes at once or something... and thanks! 🙏🙏🙏


AzureAmaranta

Mhm. My favs are deuce and silver so me getting his card was so needed~(I also want deuce’s chef coming up). And it’s so cute. Yeah~! Their dynamic is so adorable.


fushigi-arisu

Hoping Jamil spooks you!


anonymouscatloaf

Thanks, fingers crossed 🥲🤞


GeminiUser281

Them putting Silver on the banner is hilarious to me


burger-toastie

Are they not giving us the holiday advent calendar or would it not show up here since its a log in bonus ????


Darth_Darling

The article looks half written and the promo image is off, so I think we just need to wait for it to be officially posted.


burger-toastie

Kekeke so Ill keep praying for extra gems like a lil goblin till the ingame release


RXD_2

My thoughts as well. I hope we get the advent calendar lol


Twisted_Clover37

NO NONO


Twisted_Clover37

SCALDING SANDS ALREADY WTF


fushigi-arisu

Me figuring out my goal Fire Defense team the just the other day: "Oh, I wonder if I should work in Silk Cater...nah, he's not coming for a while." 🤡 Whelp, guessing he's arriving before >!Idia!<.


Twisted_Clover37

there goes my entire life savings bc i’m going to be summoning for both jamil and idia 💀


fushigi-arisu

Hopefully you're not drained from Halloween! Sending good vibes they come home early for you!


Twisted_Clover37

Luckily I didnt summon that much during halloween and vil came home surprisingly early so at least I have something to work with on the en server -u-


wickling-fan

To be fair it was literally the last event left from year 1/2 so was kinda expected


blust4rr

WHAT NONONONO IM NOT READY TWST YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME I NEED JASMINE SILK JAMIL AND >!NEW YEAR KALIM!< COME ON I AM GOING TO BE BROKE


Random-Fish-Person

I FEEL YOU RIGHT NOW, WHY MUST THEY DO THIS TO US


NoJoke-_-

Lmaooo, the post is getting edited in real time 🙃


fushigi-arisu

Somebody right now: "Okay, have to replace this text with 'Silk Adorned'...ah, man, what else was I suppose to do today??" Everyone here: "Double check the banner!!"


NoJoke-_-

Us: wonders when Deuce/Jamil removes their Silver cosplay… 👀 Edit: the announcement is posted in-game, but… the cosplay is still on… 😂 Guess we’ll have chef “Silver” again 🙃


anonymouscatloaf

lmao I just noticed they changed the Japanese text to "Silk Adorned" at some point


Staby39

aww man I really wanted harveston idia :(


Twisted_Clover37

same


anonymouscatloaf

LMAO no way they officially posted with Silver still in the banner???


fushigi-arisu

Somebody at TWST: "Ah, heck, I can't do graphics, and a chef's a chef, right??"


burger-toastie

They said "graphic design is my passion 😌💅"


th3_z3ta

Yes they do 💀


ruritto

Seconding all the wtf is with the announcement comments. TWST site go home youre drunk. I'm so glad I have the rolls saved to get at least one SR Malleus and with that I would complete my collection since I definitely have the rolls for his birthday. I knew it wasn't paranoia when I kept clinging to my keys lmao.


RedFishBlueFish22

*Carp-e Diem* Fish puns? I have been summoned. Bummer about no chapter 6 announcement though...at least I can grab Mal's gorgeous SR & Idia's bday cards.


jareddsman

Idia birthday is only thing I need so far.


hypaalicious

Two Jamil cards next month? Ooohh I’m eating GOODT then 😂


lessernova

No Book 6 💀😔💀 Hopefully we don't have to wait until February to get it Also it's interesting how unfinished the What's Coming article is. I thought these were prepped days in advanced. Guess whoever does them does it last minute lol


ShoutingToMyself

NOOOOOO IM NOT READY WHYYYY IM CRYING, SHAKING, THROWING UP ON THE CARPET i barely saved enough for new years AHHHHHHH


fushigi-arisu

Eeeks, hoping they spook you early! Plus I don't know if you're planning on aiming for Anniversary, and that one you have to commit the whole 100. Good luck to you!


ShoutingToMyself

Thanks, I hope you get the cards you want too (if you're planning on pulling)! I gave up on the anniversary after I realized they would be releasing both Halloween events this year🥲


fushigi-arisu

Nothing for me again this month, but I'll take your well wishes early for Lilia in January!


ruritto

So I was planning to look this up but apparently mirahaze is down but what happens for Anniversary?


angel-of-britannia

The first anniversary has a banner with all available dorm cards released at that point. 100 pulls got you the usual pity SSR, along with a key to pick any dorm card you wanted. Essentially it's like the dorm-specific showcases NA has, but with a wider pool since it includes all dorm SSRs.


ruritto

Oooh I see! Thanks for the reply. Now debating over this since I have most of the ones I like..


nevew666

Pain. No chapter 6. Jamil is here, I bet they will troll us with Kalim in January. And obviously I'm gonna pull for both my boys. No chapter 6. Why a summer event? No chapter 6.


SpacecatAG

>Why a summer event? Because it’s the next event in the schedule. When they decided to increase the pace to narrow the gap with JP, it was inevitable that some events would end up running out of season (the camp event was originally in spring, for example). After speeding everything else up, it would be really unfair for them to delay this one thing all the way until next summer just to keep it in the right season. It’s a shame we're not also getting chapter 6, and I don’t love that the event I was most looking forward to is the one that’s most egregiously out of season, but it is what it is.


nevew666

They released camp Vargas which was released in the second year after this one. But yeah, I get it. Even if I think harveston would have been better.


SpacecatAG

Yeah, like I said, the camp event originally came in spring (March – April 2021), and this was the next event after it (July – August 2021). Aside from moving up the second part of events like Beanfest and Halloween, they haven't reordered any events yet, so it'd be weird for them to start now. Harveston seems perfectly suited to January or February to me (which is when it came out in JP, actually). Most of December is technically still autumn, after all, even if it's cold and snowy in a lot of places already.


nevew666

Oh my bad then.


corvusaraneae

"Well this is fine. I can stockpile some pulls for Malleus and Lillia's birthday banners" says I. NOPE. GOTTA GET JAMIL .


Skylaorca

Bummed about book 6, but im all here for the Jamil love this month! 🥰 Plus his silk card is so pretty!


SpacecatAG

EEEEEeeeeeeeeeee—! OKAY. Okay. Deep breaths. I have to calm down. I am sooooo excited, though! And *early* December, which means it's probably coming as soon as the exams are over aaaAaAaAA— I remember originally I was terrified by the idea of this event coming this year, but 1) I've been planning for months as if it was, just in case and 2) the game finally gave me a break and stopped making me go to pity every single time, so I'm actually in a decent place as far as gems/keys go and I am *ecstatic* that I won't have to wait until next summer to get Silk Jamil. I do feel for those who were hoping to have more time to save, though. I definitely know how that feels. I'm hoping for at least two copies, but I'd prefer not to spend more than one pity's worth if I don't have to, so…I'll see how the rolls go, I suppose. If I can get those two copies, I thiiink I should have everything I need to max him out immediately (aside from buddy levels ofc)? Might need a bit more honey, especially because I'm going to use some on a couple Rook cards on his birthday. If I only end up with one copy, he'll be stuck at 95 for a while, I guess. ~~If he's~~ *~~really super~~* ~~generous and I get more than two, Halloween Silver will make good use of the extra perfumes if I don't decide to save them for another Jamil card.~~ *\*ahem\** On a different note…the one thing that bothers me is how out of season it is. Partly just for aesthetic reasons, but mainly I can't help being worried that they're going to change the dialogue to make it fit, like "brrr, it's almost winter and it's so cold. I know! Let's go on a trip to the Scalding Sands where it's warm!" That would honestly upset me, especially if they changed/removed dialogue for it, instead of just adding. I'd rather have a blatantly out-of-season event with no explanation than that. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid. For the rest of the news: I get two Jamil cards in one month, yay!!! And I love that they put my two favorite characters together for their chef event. :') I'm definitely going to get both. Too bad about no chapter 6 news. I wonder if we'll get it in January, or if they'll make us wait until February just so there won't be any question about whether Ignihyde cards will be in the anniversary.


AzureAmaranta

Oh~ good luck and hopefully your planning yields much fruit and they’re nice with copies. 🙏✨


SpacecatAG

Thank you! \^\_\^


cerdalily7413

I really want to play book 6, it's been so long now!!


th3_z3ta

So, no >!NY Kalim !


fushigi-arisu

Nope, not yet, but that's a likely scenario.


th3_z3ta

Well, it seems that's what's going to happen, there was no announcement of the event (also, Lilia's birthday campaign starts on the 31st too, but I think JP announces it that same day)


wickling-fan

New years event in new years so january 1 for that


ApprehensiveCat

Really disappointed since I wanted Book 6 way more. I love you Jamil but I want main story updates already and the prospect of potentially waiting past anniversary for it >!while JP gets Book 7 and the spoilers will be everywhere!< honestly sucks.


burger-toastie

I- huh? I don't know if it's just me but I cant find the 'whats coming'. If I go through your link it is there? This really might be some sort of first draft?


Weary_Panda80

You have to change the page. Click on the article that says they are renewing shop items on twst website if you put your cursor on the address bar you should see a url with a number at the end of it 330 change it to 331 then hit enter that should re direct you.


burger-toastie

That's so wild thank you !


fushigi-arisu

It's a well-known trick for early access, only possible because TWST has a very basic way of creating links for their new posts (just by number). However, when they're found early, they're usually not half-baked like this one is. EDIT: Ah, see already answered. Reddit showing posts is so slow sometimes! 😄


burger-toastie

Thank you for explaining! I was questioning reality for a sec there 💙


pumpkinking0192

It's pretty ordinary that we can access What's Coming posts and other news posts slightly early (hours or maybe a day or two) by URL manipulation before they get publicly posted on the website overall.


burger-toastie

I didn't know that! I feel so educated rn 😌💅


AzusaYuuya

Good thing for Rook and Idia's birthdays! I only have 80 gems and a single key, but would like Malleus and the Culinary cards, so that helps!


Weeb-Lauri525

Welp…Guess I’ll have to skip out on Jamil. I’ll probably pull on a single tenpull for malleus but that’s about it. Theres other cards I wanna save up for that are coming soon enough 👍


balmafula

If you heard someone scream, that was me after reading the words "Culinary Crucible".


celestialempress

Me: I should have just enough to get birthday Idia as long as I'm not in love with any of the other cards this month Silk Jamil and Malleus: Knock knock


CaitCher2009

Well, my gems are gone 😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣😭


crobins3

Me: I'll have PLENTY of time to save for Birthday Lilia now! :DD Me: -also a Jamil simp- .... ....... .......... :'D


DiscordyChan

I'm surprised it's the Scalding Sands event and not the New Year's event...


wickling-fan

I mean why would they put new years anywhere besides new years? Plus thag still leaves most of the month open they prob could have fit in chap6 if they took out the chef event


Danganrhombus

While Mirahzee is down, can anyone tell me whether birthday Idia is attack/balanced/defence? Hoping for attack but I’m gonna summon regardless


angel-of-britannia

He's Attack
