Grand Balloon Event! - July 2018
Feed this fishy flyer to recieve fabulous gifts!

Grand Balloon promo

Finn has a crazy idea - he dreamt about a huge magic balloon so he and Pike decide to build one! You will need to use certain items at specific stages to level up the Balloon (similar but slightly different principle to previous build events).

Portrait-Keani
Tip:

If you think you will struggle with the resources required for a particular level(s) it is possible to "overfeed" the Balloon on the current level with more items than required (using "Feed All") to bypass the next level(s).

Keani Full Anniversary
Note:

ATTENTION: Bubble Trouble! There is currently an issue where Buoyant Bubbles are not being rewarded for dives. PB are investigating the issue.
PB fixed this bug on July 17th and rewarded every TradeMaster with 3x Balloon SundriesBalloon Sundries as compensation for the glitch.

Keani Full Anniversary
Note:

Puffer Patches and Buoyant Bubbles can be sold in the World Market or traded for 75x Balloon Badge Resource Balloon social currency (10x Buoyant Bubbles + 1x Puffer Patch) at the Bazaar from July 27th.

Character Dialogue[]

!!! Attention Spoiler !!! click "Expand" to view all dialogue =>

Finn: ”Hey Pike, I've got a crazy idea."
Pike: ”Ha! Ye tryin to scare me, lad?!"
Finn: "I had a dream about a magic balloon! A HUGE one!"
Pike: "Ha! Well, ye didn't lie lad, that does sound crazy. Let's make it!"
Finn: "This is gonna be so big we better start in the water. Help me find a place!"

Finn: "Look at that! The perfect spot to start building."
Finn: "Now...how do balloons work? The kind you ride in?"
Pike: "Well, since we're buildin' on the water, let's start with a raft."
Pike: "Fetch us some needles and cloth, if you please, Trademaster!"
Finn: "That's great, Trademaster! You're doing it!"
Finn: "Let's keep building and make it bigger!"

Finn: "Wow! This is looking great!"
Keani: "What's going on here, Finn?"
Finn: "We're making a balloon to ride in, Keani!"
Keani: "Can I help?"
Finn: "Of course, help us finish the raft part! We need lots of needles and cloth!”

Finn: "Whew! That was fun! Now we have a nice dry place to work."
Keani: "What's next, Finn?"
Finn: "Umm... we need a place to sit..."
Pike: "A basket, lad. We need a basket to sit in!"
Pike: "Let's make it sturdy! Grab us some boards and nails, lad!"
Finn: "Great! Get us more just like that, Trademaster!"

Finn: "This is coming along great!"
Keani: "It sure is! Sturdy as can be!"
Finn: "If Pike's gonna ride in it we better make it a little more sturdy..."
Pike: "How dare ye! But...aye, maybe we firm it up a wee bit more..."
Pike: "More boards and nails, if ye please, Trademaster. We're buildin' this to last!"

Keani: "Now THAT'S a sturdy basket!"
Finn: "It's Pike-worthy!"
Pike: "Come on, now..."
Finn: "Is it time to sew the balloon yet?"
Keani: "Yes indeed! Cloth and needles can make a balloon, but how do we fill it up?"
Wesley: "I know! Bubbles! Buoyant Bubbles from under the sea!"
Wesley: "Come with me to the Dive Site! We can dive for Buoyant Bubbles there!"
Wesley: "Here's some bubbles while we wait for our dive to finish."
Wesley: "You're doing great, Trademaster! Keep diving below the waves for bubbles!"
Wesley: "And we can get even more by helping our friends dive!"

Wesley: "The balloon is really filling up!"
Pike: "Looks a wee bit like how I felt after I finishin' that roast pig all by meself."
Wesley: "Let's keep up the pressure, Trademaster!"
Wesley: "Cloth, needles and bubbles ahoy!"

Wesley: "Beautiful! Our balloon part is finished, but it looks a little plain..."
Wesley: "How about we give it a bright, beautiful coat of paint?"
Keani: "Yes! I agree, it's gotta be the most beautiful balloon ever. But how?"
Wesley: "That's easy! Bring me some Rainbow Fruit and I'll make it into paint!"

Wesley: "This paint is really going to make a difference!"
Finn: "You're doing great, Trademaster!"
Wesley: "Keep on bringing the Rainbow Fruit, we're almost there!"

Wesley: "Look at THAT!"
Keani: "It looks like a fish!"
Wesley: "It certainly does. Like a Puffer Fish!"
Keani: "I know how we could REALLY make it look like a fish."
Keani: "Trademaster, if you can bring me some Sunfish for reference, that would help."
Keani: "Oh, and I'll put in an order for Puffer Patches at the docks!"
Pike: "Thank ye Keani! I'll check the docks fer Puffer Patches!”

Keani: "Why'd you want to build a balloon anyway, Finn?"
Finn: "Well, I was dreaming that I was alone on the island. I couldn't find my friends."
Finn: "I thought if I had a big balloon, I could fly up high and see so far..."
Keani: "...so far that you'd always be able to find us?"
Finn: "Yeah..."
Keani: "That's a good reason. Let's keep going!"
Keani: "More Sunfish and Puffer Patches, Trademaster!"

Wesley: "Yes, yes, yes. This is coming along nicely."
Keani: "I think we have enough Sunfish, I know exactly how I want this to look."
Keani: "Now we just need more Puffer Patches!”
Pike: "Aye Aye! Keep the orders comin', Trademaster!"

Wesley: "Balloon progress is looking top notch!"
Keani: "Poor Finn. I didn't know he was having these nightmares!"
Wesley: "He just gets lonely sometimes. He always perks up when he has a project though!"
Keani: "We'll finish this balloon and he'll know he'll never lose sight of us."
Wesley: "Agreed! Keep up the good work, Trademaster!"

Wesley: "It's just looking lovely! What do you think, Finn?"
Finn: "Wow! It's gonna be the best balloon that ever was!"
Keani: "That it will! I'm just about ready for finishing touches."
Keani: "More Puffer Patches and Buoyant Bubbles, if you please, Trademaster!"

Finn: "We're almost done, Trademaster!"
Wesley: "Indeed, we are!"
Keani: "And it's wonderful!"
Wesley: "Just a little bit more to go!"
Finn: "More Puffer Patches and Buoyant Bubbles, Trademaster! On to victory!"

Keani:: "Finn, you know you don't need to worry about losing us."
Wesley: "Yes old boy, we'll be here for your forever."
Keani: "Any time you can't find us, you can climb into your balloon to look around!"
Finn: "And you can all come with me, too! Even Pike!"
Pike:: "Aye, lad! Ye have built one Pike-worthy flying fish, indeed!"
Wesley: "...maybe reinforce those floorboards a tad more..."
Pike: "Ha! Aye, maybe so!"
