Some additional clarity would be helpful, though. The previous safari events that ran through the MT model had hour passes and either an "all access" pass that lasted the full duration or a "day" pass for the full day.

I'd definitely love to have a "longer-term" pass if it's exploratory like the previous ones, because having to re-enter to hunt/mine/etc more every hour is a bit annoying.

Taisidon Mystery is a MT event, it's not a box office-esque quest that would run from 1 hr to multiple days. Taisidon Mystery will be similar in format to our other MT events like Duskruin, House of the Revenant Fang, Su Helmas, etc.

Taisidon Mystery will not be like Taisidon Safari.

I hope that helps clarify!

Definitely get it's not going to be like the box office safari stuff, but there was also a MT version of the Safari back in 2016.

Is Mystery how the 2016 MT Safari worked, where you bought a pass in the SimuCoin store to hang out on the island for an hour (or 12 hours) and could hunt local mobs, mine/lumberjack, and fight the occasional champion, and the mobs sometimes dropped seastars as the special currency or a rare gem (there were additional MT items that made it easier to earn those, too), or is it more like the current MT events where you go in, do a task(s), and get a reward (seastars/incidental loot)?

I'm pretty sure thats the Taisidon Safari she's talking about. Epedia lists the 2016 MT event as Taisidon Safari. So I don't think we can expect it to work like that, unfortunately.

Mystery is not at all like any of the Safari variations (both box office and MT). Taisidon Mystery is like current MT events where you go in, do a thing, and get quest currency.

Will we have a chance to explore the island at all? Either for this event or a future one? I missed the safaris and always wanted to go.

Aww nuts, I loved hunting for island metals. I'm sure the new Safari is going to rock, though. Thank you for clarifying.

There's a thing. I'm waiting for the marketing email to be released :)
