A player inflating a balloon
  • Log in to receive the The Great Balloonathon Collection Competition quest.
  • Talk to Caravan Joe wearing a white Edern Wig northwest of Dunbarton Square to be warped to northeast of Qilla Base Camp.
  • At the event area, the player can talk to a NPC club leader to join one of three clubs: the Kendo Club, the Music Club, or the Fomor Research Unit.
    • After joining a club, the player may have a conversation with the NPC club members.
    • Players may not leave a club.
      • However, players will be forcibly removed from the club once the drawing occurs. They must then to choose one of the three clubs again to continue partaking in the event.
  • During the event, Deflated Balloons drop from monsters or are acquired through Fishing.
    • Balloons drop at a much higher rate from monsters whose Combat Power is higher than the player's, and vise versa.
    • These balloons can be inflated and turned into a Full Balloon via the Inflate Balloon action, learned upon joining any club.
    • The Full Balloon can either be worn as an Accessory or turned into the club leader.
      • If turned in, the club leader will take all the balloons at once, including those in temporary inventory space or worn by the player.
      • Once a balloon is turned in, a Club Certificate is rewarded.
        • You may only have one Club Certificate at a time.
  • A drawing is held at 2:00pm PDT100, 7:00pm PDT100, and 11:00pm PDT100. The club with the most Full Balloons wins, and all players in the winning club with a Club Certificate will receive the club's victory box and a Balloon Consolation Box while players in the losing clubs only receive a Balloon Consolation Box.
    • The balloons are counted server-wide.
    • A scrolling message appears ? minutes before the draw, announcing the number of minutes before the draw, and reappears after every minute. On the draw time, the scrolling message announces the winning club.
    • The NPC club members and leader will periodically whisper the player, informing them how many balloons their club has, telling them to donate, or simply rooting for their club.
      • The whispers differ when winning or losing.
    • If players in a winning club are offline during the drawing, only a Balloon Consolation Box is given when they log back in.
    • 15 minutes prior to the club drawing, the club with the least amounts of Full Balloons turned in is allowed to purchase a secret weapon, which adds 10 Full Balloons to their count. This can only be done once per day, per drawing.
      • There are four to choose from, each club has a unique set of 4, all of which have the same function.
    • 5 minutes prior to or after the club drawing, the club leaders will not accept Full Balloons.
