April Exclusive Items

Cherry-Blossom Petals Available for 10 Days

For a short period of 10 days, you'll be able to catch cherry-blossom petals that are flying around. Like Butterflies, you'll have to use your net to catch them. They can disappear if you miss or bump into them, so you'll want to be careful when aiming for them.

The Cherry-blossom petals can be used to craft DIY items like the Outdoor picnic set or Cherry-blossom Pochette, and the petals and DIY recipes can only be found in this period.

Note that this event is only in the Northern Hemisphere during April.
