A special time is about to set in throughout many Asian countries—the Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the most spectacular holidays. It’s a time when millions of people flood the streets to celebrate, exchange traditional treats, mooncakes, and contemplate the beauty of the gorgeous September Moon, all in the company of their families.

World of Tanks is joins the celebrations and welcomes all of you to embark on a unique battle journey, where you can expect both the thrill of the fight and a satisfaction of reaping rewards!

From September 16–27, take part in this special event to complete nine (9) Moon Missions, earn Mooncakes, and get rewarded for your combat merits! Mark your calendars:

Background

Before delving into technical details, let’s pay homage to the cultural backdrop of the whole occasion. They say the tradition of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival dates back to ancient times; when dragons roamed the lands, and the sky was lit up by 10 Sun Crows. According to one legend, one day all ten Sun Crows appeared in the sky at once, bringing all living beings to the verge of extermination.

When hope was almost gone, the Emperor summoned the land’s most skilled archer Hou Yi and ordered him to kill the nine "extra" Sun Crows. He was ultimately successful in his endeavor, thus restoring the normal climate to the earth. What happened next—this you'll have to discover through the in-game event, while trying your hand at the role of this legendary archer and proving your worth in the nine Moon Missions!

A Special Website

Once the event starts, an ad-hoc website is activated, containing all the information you need to succeed. You'll find the rules on Moon Missions, special tabs where you can unlock Moon Levels with Mooncakes as part of your Personal Progress, and exchange Mooncakes for valuable goodies, as well as the page with the Story that becomes unveiled as you progress through its Chapters with other players.

But before all that happens, we'd better show you the ropes and explain how to make the most of the Mid-Autumn Festival event in World of Tanks.

TO THE DEDICATED WEBSITE

Mooncakes

Mooncakes are the Mid-Autumn Festival's special currency. You can only earn them by completing each Moon Mission. They are also available as free bonus items in special Premium Shop bundles available for the duration of the event.

What's the point of collecting Mooncakes? Well, that's simple:

• They unlock Moon Levels (Personal Progress)
• Exchange them for goodies in Moon packages, which feature:
  
  • The "Moon Viewing" 2D Style
  • Dragon Decals
  • Prowling Tiger Decals
  • Consumables
  • and more
• To move through Chapters (Story Progress) and reveal the whole story behind the festival.

Moon Missions

These are special missions that refer to a particular episode of the archer Hou Yi's story and they require you to perform various actions or achieve certain results in battle. Every day, a new mission will be available for you to complete and, if successful, you'll be treated to eight (8) Mooncakes and a "Hare in the Coat of Arms" Decal (these rewards are available for each mission you complete). Persistent players who complete all nine (9) Moon Missions get the mesmerizing "Moon Viewing" 2D Style!

Personal Progress

Personal Progress will run from September 16–27 and will consist of five (5) Moon Levels. All you need to do is:

• Earn Mooncakes by completing Moon Missions or purchasing special bundles with in-game content that feature Mooncakes as free bonuses.
• Move through Moon Levels using Mooncakes: These Levels open sequentially, from the first to the fifth, and are not bound to any specific date.

Unlocking Levels rewards valuable in-game items:

After the completion of all Moon Missions, you will receive more than enough Mooncakes to unlock all Moon Levels and get your hands on each and every reward. Should the number of Mooncakes gathered not be enough to get the rewards you want, you can get more of them within the special bundles in the Premium Shop, which go on sale at the start of the event.

Story Progress

This is the most intriguing part of the event where all players will need to unite in their efforts to unlock all five (5) Chapters and reveal the full story, while receiving extra Mooncakes along the way. The Story Progress will last only 5 days—1 day per Chapter—and will run from Sept. 16–21. The mechanics are simple: players must collect a certain number of Mooncakes during a given Chapter (24 hours) by completing Moon Missions or acquiring Mooncakes from the special bundles in the Premium Shop. Once done, they all receive the Chapter reward of three (3) Mooncakes and gain access to the next Chapter.

Once you have successfully completed all five Stages of Story Progress, you'll receive a ×5 XP multiplier for the first victory of the day from Sept. 23–26 in any vehicle.

Note the rewards for the Story Progress are only granted to those who have contributed any number of Mooncakes during any of the Chapters. The silver lining is even the minimum contribution brings you every reward from every Chapter!

To redeem the rewards you are entitled to, head to the relevant Chapter tab on the website and click the "GET THE REWARDS" button in the Story Progress section. Story Progress rewards that haven't been redeemed before the end of the last Chapter will be awarded to your account the next day (Wednesday, Sept. 22).
