After the Summerfest of 2019, Athena can be seen on Shipwreck Shore, replacing the old (a merchant much like the ones in Firefly Forest, Shiverchill Mountains, Shipwreck Shore, Bonfire Spire, and Skywatch) merchant there, but sells the same items as him.This is probably because many people are out of school in summer, thus this is a way to attract people into playing Prodigy. This is the first event to sell gear with a heart bonus of 8 (Draconyx Set).This is the first festival to have nicknames.The Wheel of Wonder and the Twilight Wheel are replaced with the Wheel of Sun during Summerfest.This is the first festival with old items for sale.Nicknames include: Aquatic (username), Fishy (username), Glub-glub (username), Mer-(username), and (username) of the seas. Mizu (the other twin Merling on the bottom center of the main Lamplight map) provides nicknames exclusive to Summerfest, similar to the 'Nicknamers' found in each of the elemental areas. As of July 7, 2020, hairstyles and colors are now non-member. Older items from the 20 Membership Boxes are also being sold for members only, such as the Mystic Member Hat. These colors and styles are available after the event, but only to members. Mist (one of the twin Merlings on the bottom center of the main Lamplight map) provides special hair colors and styles that are open to everyone during Summerfest. This seems to be the only place they appear for now, but they might possibly appear somewhere else in a future update. the Draconyx set, Noot's Cap, old Arena sets - are sold in the Summerfest shop. Old items that were thought to be gone - i.e. They cost two Sand Dollars each, and they are the Summerfest variant of the Snowball, the Winterfest variant.
The maximum amount obtainable at once (without hacks/glitches) is 99. It is like a snowball (obtained during Winterfest). When you activate one, you can pick a place where you want the water balloon to land, and an animation will play of the water balloon flying to that point and splashing.
Similar to fireworks and confetti, Water Balloons are one-time use items that are purely cosmetic. This pet can only be found and rescued in one of the daily battles in Lamplight Town during Summerfest.
The daily task has you battling a pet called Applepot.
