Roblox Islands has released the Lunar New Year Event update on January 20th, 2023! In this patch, you will find a wide-variety of changes and bug fixes have been added to the experience. These will hopefully help clear up any issues you may have had and allow you to find some new stuff to do in the game.
You can find the official patch notes below for the update, which were released on the official Islands Discord.
🐰 Lunar Event 2023 Has Arrived! 🐰
Firstly, we’d like to say Happy Lunar New Year to everyone in the Islands community! We are very excited to bring you some brand new things today. This event will last for 2 weeks only and we have more things planned for the next week for this event!
🐇 New Boss: Lunar Rabbit 🐇
Being the year of the rabbit, we have a new boss for you to fight alongside with your friends! We have kept the party up and queue system for this event. Here is how to get to the boss:
- Approach the “Info board” in Hub to access the Lunar Rabbit Dungeon Boss.
- Party with up to 5 players to queue.
- Everyone gets the same weapon loadout.
📋 New Limited Time Item Descriptions 📋
- Cherry Blossom Sapling: New block types include cherry blossom stairs, slabs, signs, fences, trap doors, and pallets.
- Mooncake: Consume to grant jump boost.
- Lunar Rabbit Statue 2023: Grants jump boost to players in range. Effect can be toggled on and off by interacting.
- Envelopes: Loot drops obtained by defeating the Lunar Rabbit or Achievements.
🏅 Introducing: Achievements 🏅
Introducing a new system we’ve been working on for islands – Achievements – these are your progression stats in islands. We plan to add much more in future.
- Achievements primarily give achievement points (AP), and consist of challenges added to islands to complete.
- Some achievements may also give rewards – dependent on the achievement. Item series collecting may be rewarding in future.
- More difficult = More rewarding + AP
- It also shows stats that are tracked, such as the amount of mobs you killed, items crafted, etc.
As part of this change, we’ve also put more focus on the AP in the leaderboards instead of Coins. Your coins are still visible to you at the top, however this is private now unless you’re on a published island.
