🌊🏖️How to Get Shelldon the Clam

Shelldon the Clam is the summer event NPC added in Update 1.64.0. You trade spare non-summer pets to him, wait 1 hour, then claim random coastal rewards.

• Interact with Shelldon
• Select a spare unwanted pet from your inventory
• Confirm sacrifice — the pet disappears, a 60-minute timer starts
• Leave the server or keep playing; timer counts down in real time
• After exactly 1 hour, return to Shelldon and click Claim Reward

All pets you can unlock from Shelldon:

Manta Ray

Pelican

Seal

Starfish

Flamingo

Toucan

All these pets have water/summer-themed garden passive buffs (faster crop growth, extra harvest points).

🌊🏖️How to Play Chest Conquest

• The event starts about halfway through every hour and runs for a few minutes.
• Five chests spawn on the map when it begins.
• Pick up a chest and bring it back to your own garden to claim the reward.
• If another player hits you and steals the chest before delivery, you lose that attempt.
