Cloud of destiny

Cloud of destiny only appears during events and may not be currently found in game.

The cloud of destiny is a fortune provided by Kristlin during the Spring Fayre event. Originally requiring 40 fayre attraction tokens during Spring Fayre (2017), the fortunes returned for Spring Fayre (2018), now requiring a tarot card token instead of attraction tokens. Tarot card tokens can be found while participating in activities around the fayre.

Each fortune gives a hint referencing a particular skill; by gaining experience in that skill the fortune is completed, rewarding a medium fortune star for that skill. Some actions may reward the player with a Prismatic medium fallen star. Stars are not always rewarded on the first attempt.

Players may only have one fortune active at a time, and getting a new one replaces the previous one.

Skilling at the Clan Citadel does not count towards the fortune.

The buff icon for the destiny reads Cloud of destiny - complete your fortune to get a reward from fate. [fortune].

Completing a destiny prompts one of the messages:

• Fortune smiles upon you. You are rewarded with a sparkling star for completing the fortune given to you by Kristlin.
• You have fulfilled your destiny and are rewarded with a shimmering star.
• You hear Kristlin's voice echo in the wind, telling you your destined future has been realised. You are rewarded with a shining star.

All 2017 fortunes were autocompleted on 19 June 2017. If a player had a full inventory before the removal, upon logging in, it would give the message: You have a reward from the forces of fortune waiting to be delivered to you. Please log out and back in with an inventory space available. This allowed players to complete the fortune by having a full inventory before logging.

Cards

The cards used by Kristlin don't appear to be based on any existing variant of tarot cards. Kristlin's deck feature a minor arcana of 4 suits (arrows, swords, wands and orbs) running from 1 to 12, as well as 12 major arcana, for a total of 60 cards.

Although some of those suits are shared with other decks (notably swords and wands being found in Latin playing cards and thus also modern-day tarot cards), the combination as a whole appears unique.

The major arcana appear to be entirely unique. They are as follows:

Number	Image	Name
I		The Boulder
II		The Funnel
III		The Spark
IV		The Key
V		The Provider
VI		The Web
VII		The Scales
VIII		The Obscure
IX		The Conductor
X		The Knowing
XI		The Tablet
XII		The Veil

It's been confirmed that the cards flipped determine the fortune received, but the exact mechanics of this are not yet known.
