Revision as of 12:21, 31 July 2016
Arcane Pentournament is a special, limited time event by DragonVale which required players to collect rings and trade them at the Prize Pavilion to receive rewards.
Each reward required a certain amount of rings to be traded in to be earned. There were five houses containing prizes.
Houses
By choosing a House the player will receive one of that House's mascot, one of that House's banners, and will unlock all three tiers of prizes at the Prize Pavilion.
There are five Houses to choose from and each House has two primary elements assigned to it.
Each house also has a specific motto, set of characteristics, alumnus/alumni, and house description.
Choosing a House is not required, but it gives you free content and unlocks House Banner Bearing Visitors which will give some rings if tapped on.
Click on the House names below to see each House's profile.
Blazing Gale - Hidden Bolt - Icy Torrent - Iron Blossom - Mountain Sun

What is The Arcane Pentournament?
Arcane Pentournament's objective was to collect rings.
The Help Menu in Prize Pavilion of the Arcane Pentournament provided a detailed information about the event. Please refer the images found in the gallery to your right. The "Info" section in the Arcane Pentournament Help Menu provides a detailed information of every category.
Tutorial
Arcane Pentournament started with a tutorial explaining how the event will work.
The process of this tutorial can be viewed in the gallery to the right.
The tutorial took a few minutes to complete from beginning to end, but players received 100 as a goal completion reward after completing the tutorial.
Reward Completion
When enough rings were collected they were able to be used at the Prize Pavilion for unique prizes. Upon receiving a prize, a message card would pop up.
Players were able to select which prize they wanted in what ever order they wished. There were six section of prizes with three tiers in each section. A player needed a certain amount of prizes from the previous tier to unlock the next tier to have access to purchase the prizes inside it.
Throughout the event, players were also able to make a wish by tossing a coin into the Wishing Well. This was counted towards a community total. As the event continued, the bar on the well filled up, and on September 1, 2015, during the The Great Dragon Faire all players who had participated in the event were rewarded with the Wishing Well as a prize, as well as one "wish", as a "special gift from Backflip Studios". This allowed the player to claim a single item from an extended market, including many limited content.
After the Wishing Well was collected, players were no longer able to make a wish at the well.
Although it isn't confirmed, it is possible a wish will be granted at the end of the event if the Wishing Well is filled up again during the Arcane Pentournament.
Backflip Studios Help Center and FAQ
At the start of the Arcane Pentournament, Backflip Studios posted a FAQ guide on their Web site here.

Notes
- On June 29, 2016, Update 3.8.1 was available in the App Store and Google Play, and included a brief description about the Arcane Pentournament. However, the event did not begin until the following day and only a few minor changes were made upon updating the game such as a different loading screen and DragonVale icon.
- The Arcane Pentournament began on June 30, 2016 and is scheduled to end on September 14, 2016.
- To obtain the Arcane Pentournament rewards, a player needed to turn in rings at the Prize Pavilion from June 30, 2016 to September 14, 2016 even though after September 7, 2016 no new rings could be collected.
- The Arcane Pentournament will last through September 6, 2016, but the Prize Pavilion will remain open for a brief time after the event has ended. This will give players the opportunity to turn in any leftover rings for prizes.
- The Arcane Pentournament is only available to players that have reached level 11.
- On July 1, 2016, Backflip Studios made it possible to collect twice the amount of rings from completing the tasks in the Arcane Pentournament event and doubled the daily capacity of rings. This was a promotion and only lasted for 96 hours.
- On July 29, 2016, Backflip Studios repeated this promotion which lasted for 72 hours.
Possible References
- "Penta" is a prefix which means five, and the Arcane Pentournament consists of five "Houses" participating in the event.
- The color of the "House" mascots resemble the colors of the Olympic rings in the Olympic logo.
- The three tiers of gold", "silver", and "bronze" in each section of the "House" prizes resembles how "gold", "silver", and "bronze" medals are awarded at the the Olympic games for each event.
- Many of the house mottos may be a reference to HBO's Game of Thrones television series and George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels:
- The Motto of Blazing Gale, "Unscorched, Untethered, Untroubled," may be a reference to House Martell whose house words are "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken."
- The Motto of Icy Torrent, "We Do Not Sink," may be a reference to House Greyjoy whose house words are "We Do Not Sow."
- The Motto of Iron Blossom, "Sown and Forged," may be a reference to House Targaryen whose house words are "Fire and Blood."
- The Motto of Mountain Sun, "Strong and Shining," may be a reference to House Tyrell whose house words are "Growing Strong."
- Multiple alumni names from the different houses are a play on words:
- The alumnus "Pi Roh" from the Blazing Gale House is a play on the word "pyro" which is a prefix associated with "fire" or "heat" and one of the house elements is "fire."
- The alumnus "Anne T. Matre" from the Hidden Bolt House is a play on the word "antimatter" which may be associated as being dark and one of the house elements is "dark."
- The alumnus "Shi Nee" from the Iron Blossom House is a play on the word "shiny" which may be associated with certain metals and one of the house elements is "metal."
- The alumnus "Verdant Thumbe" from the Iron Blossom House is a play on the phrase "green thumb" since verdant means "green with vegetation" and one of the house elements is "plant."
- The alumnus "T. Erra" from the Mountain Sun House is a play on the word terra" which means "earth" and one of the house elements is "earth."
- The mentioning of "ValeGro magical fertilizer" from the Notable "Alumni" section of the Iron Blossom House may be a reference to the product "MiracleGro" which is a fertilizer.
- The mentioning of "Official Committee for Keeping the Vale Islands Afloat (But Not Too Close To the Sun)" from the "Notable Alumni" section of the Mountain Sun House may be a reference to the mythology of Icarus whose father told him not to fly too close to the sun.
