If your Heartopia evenings have been feeling a little too dull, the Sea Lantern Event is here to brighten things up. For a limited time, the coastline transforms into a glowing stretch of floating wishes and gently bobbing lanterns drifting out to sea. It’s a community event that combines creativity with a touch of sentimentality.
Participating isn’t simply a matter of walking onto the beach and tossing something into the waves. There are a few steps involved, some items you need to gather, and a specific location to find. Here’s everything you need to know to get started.
What Is the Sea Lantern Event?
The Sea Lantern Event in Heartopia is a special community celebration happening until March 9. During this period, people gather along the shoreline to release lanterns into the ocean and leave heartfelt messages for others to read. The beach is filled with floating lights and lotus blossoms, each carrying a wish written by someone in the community.
This event encourages reflection and connection. You can stroll along the beach, interact with lanterns placed by other players, read their messages, and like your favorites. In addition to viewing messages, you can also release your own lantern or place a lotus-shaped Blessing Sea Lantern with a personal note attached.
Because messages are visible to others and can be reported, it’s important to keep everything appropriate and respectful.
How to Get Sea Lanterns
To join in, you first need to buy or craft a lantern. Open the event icon menu at the top right of your screen and select the Sea Lantern Sentiments event. Inside this menu, look for the shop icon in the bottom right corner. From there, you can purchase the standard Wishing Sea Lantern.
To place a lotus-style lantern, you need to craft a Blessing Sea Lantern. This isn’t a direct purchase but a recipe you need to buy first. To craft it at a crafting table, gather these materials:
- 15 Timber
- 15 Quality Timber
- 1 Flawless Fluorite
After crafting, you can dye the lantern any color you like before placing it. Light blue is popular, but feel free to customize it to your preference.
Once your lantern is ready, head to the coastline and find one of the groups of four lanterns near the release points—these are located at the designated release spots. Select the Wishing Sea Lantern you purchased and choose “Release Into The Sea.” Your character will perform a gentle animation as they push the lantern into the water. If you made a Blessing Sea Lantern, you can simply place it on the beach and attach your message for others to see.
Where Is the Sea Lantern Event?
The event takes place along the coast between Windmill Flower Field and Amethyst Beach. If you’re unsure where that is, open the event tab and select “Lantern Release Point Tracker” for guidance. When you arrive, look for a cluster of four lanterns along the shore—this marks the main spot for releasing your lanterns. You can then explore the area, read community messages, and add your own wishes before the event concludes on March 9.
