Hopefully, you can do it and CC and get the next days quest just like the street cleaning event or RIP night owls and Europeans today :(.

And before anyone says check wiki I did before posting this :) (I will be updating that you can't go on Wednesday so if anyone comments it's on wiki I know because I wrote it in so people aren't confused about it later on).

    It isn't Cave of Trials but Festia in general that 'bamboozled' you; all attractions and mini-games are on maintenance during those hours (the Festia wiki page has this information). It would've indeed been nice if this were specifically mentioned though.

    I don't remember if this was even made clear in the introduction quest to Festia but when talking to Fez and Tia (and other staff) now, only Tia mentions those hours, but in a confusing/misinformative way:

    If your mini-game or attraction ends abnormally, or if you forfeit and leave the game, the results won't be reflected in your rank. The same rule applies when games end on a Wednesday between midnight and 7:00 AM. Avoid those times if you're looking to rank high. Don't worry, though! You'll still be able to receive a reward box!

    Wat?

    Yea, I realized that when someone told me but I can't delete the post. Kind of sucks though for an event (I'd understand for a regular festia game).

    Or it's kinda dumb if they do it for the rankings to get the wings (I originally thought the rankings were just for show)

    I still say it's a shame they didn't take this opportunity to add some "Limited" festia achievements related to the Cave of Trials.

    That section in the festia achievements section is gonna be empty forever at this rate. :(

    The fact this Anniversary doesn't incorporate anything of Festia into the celebration event itself makes it a rather lackluster affair.

    I think they're talking about the minigames... you can't get anniversary boxes from doing hammer slam like you could in mabiland... instead you have to buy them for 3 mabicoins each and the droprates are even worse. I've opened around 30 boxes and I haven''t gotten any of the romantic rose items. I got campfire kits, fireworks, 1 single Kanna balloon, and a ton of anniversary cakes. this event is just a bit disappointing especially since it's 10th anniversary

    I'm only looking forward to the hot times at this point because at least then I'm guaranteed something decent

    I'm also upset because I can now never finish my anniversary check collection due to the fact they pretty much skipped anniversary last year

    ... should I even keep collecting these? :/

    Pretty much, the events themselves are terrible. I do not get a cheque from clearing trials, the clothing are subjected to RNG, the minigames are not included in the event, Nao is dominating the NPC polls yet again...

    I mean the addition of the anniversary itself is very blase to me. Where's the limited tab? The minigames? Being morbidly obese for 5 minutes? The 100k cheques? Prizes aren't going to redeem a bad event.

    I'd be a little more happy with this event if we didn't have NEW homestead items stuck behind TWO LEVELS of RNG. Like, stick it also in the coin bought anniversary boxes too please so there's at least only one level of RNG to get to them.
    Or, even better, make them so that they are an option to directly buy in the coin shop. :(

    The popularity contest is a nice touch, too. If only it were weekly instead of daily.

    I think the "maintenance" thing is dumb. Lost out on coins too.

    Actually if you just do it and then cc you can do both (I was able to do both days still)
