Aug 14

Written By Animon

The Skyvault Afar event in Love and Deepspace gives players a chance to earn two limited 4-Star Solar-Slot Memories featuring Rafayel, along with Diamonds, Wishes, photo poses, and other event-exclusive items. The event centers on exploring locations with Rafayel, completing a combat challenge with the new Companion, and exchanging event currency for rewards.

The official event preview announces the following key details:

Event period: August 17 at 05:00 to August 31 at 04:59, server time.
Shop closing time: September 1 at 04:59, server time.
Featured 4-Star Memories: Rafayel: Skyflame Reach and Rafayel: Skyflame Expanse.
Other free rewards: Rafayel: Autumn Caress, 10 Deepspace Wishes: Limited, 500 Diamonds, three Photo Poses, an exclusive Title, and more.
Main activities: Roaming Trails, Companion Rehearsal, and the event shop.
New Companion: Rafayel: Vermilion Martial God.

The announcement does not specify a calendar year alongside these dates. Players should check the relevant in-game notice for the applicable schedule and reward conditions.

Skyvault Afar Event Dates and Main Rewards

Skyvault Afar runs for a limited period, with the event shop remaining available briefly after the main event ends. Players have until August 31 at 04:59 server time to participate in the main event, while Yanzhou Market closes on September 1 at 04:59 server time.

This difference matters because players may need extra time to exchange the Jade Clasps they collect during event activities. Completing the challenges is only part of the process; players should also redeem their currency before the shop closes.

What Rewards Can Players Earn for Free?

Players can obtain Memories, Diamonds, limited Wishes, photo poses, and cosmetic items by participating in Skyvault Afar. The rewards come from different parts of the event, so players should review each activity rather than assume everything comes from one challenge.

The main reward categories include:

Two limited 4-Star Solar-Slot Memories featuring Rafayel.
One limited 3-Star Memory, Rafayel: Autumn Caress.
10 Deepspace Wishes: Limited.
500 Diamonds.
Three Photo Poses.
The event-exclusive Title, Fishbound General.
Additional stickers, journal items, a chat bubble, music, and other collectibles.

The announcement describes these rewards as free event rewards. However, players must complete the relevant activities or tasks and meet the associated requirements to claim them.

Roaming Trails: Explore Locations With Rafayel

Roaming Trails rewards players for exploring locations and progressing through an exclusive Rafayel storyline. This activity combines story content with exploration, allowing players to investigate the General’s temples and recover the power associated with the Martial God.

The event preview describes a journey through different locations with Rafayel. Players can unlock story scenes, discover what happened during the journey, and return to camp to share their findings with him.

Completing the exploration of all locations grants two specific rewards:

Rafayel: Skyflame Reach, a limited 4-Star Solar-Slot Memory.
500 Diamonds.

How to Obtain Skyflame Reach

Players must complete the exploration of all locations in Roaming Trails to claim Skyflame Reach and the 500 Diamonds. The announcement ties both rewards to full exploration, not simply entering the activity.

Players should follow the event’s location objectives and check their progress as they advance. If any locations or story segments remain incomplete, they should finish those requirements before the main event ends.

Roaming Trails is especially relevant to players who want Rafayel’s story content alongside the rewards. It lets players earn a featured 4-Star Memory without relying on the limited 5-Star Wish Pool.

Companion Rehearsal: Unlock Skyflame Expanse

Companion Rehearsal allows players to fight alongside Rafayel: Vermilion Martial God and earn the second limited 4-Star Memory. The activity focuses on combat rather than exploration.

Players can challenge the Rehearsal Stage and use the new Companion during the encounter. The official preview confirms that clearing the stage for the first time grants Rafayel: Skyflame Expanse.

What Is the First-Clear Reward?

The first successful clear of the Rehearsal Stage awards Rafayel: Skyflame Expanse. This makes the initial completion important for anyone collecting the full Memory Pair.

Players should distinguish this reward from Skyflame Reach, which comes from completing all locations in Roaming Trails. Both Memories are part of the Skyvault Afar reward lineup, but they require progress in separate activities.

The announcement also notes that Rafayel’s limited 4-Star Solar-Slot Memory Pair will enter Galaxy Explorer in the first update after the event. Players may then have an opportunity to obtain the Memories by exploring Silver Galaxy and Radiant Galaxy, according to the stated event notice.

Yanzhou Market: Exchange Jade Clasps for Event Items

Yanzhou Market lets players exchange Jade Clasps for a range of Rafayel-themed rewards, including a limited Memory, Wishes, photo poses, and cosmetic items. Players collect the event currency by participating in the event and completing tasks.

The market remains open until September 1 at 04:59 server time, after the main event closes. This gives an extra window to redeem collected currency, but players shouldn't wait until the last moment.

Event Shop Rewards

        Stickers, journal items, and more

The announcement does not provide the Jade Clasp price for each item. Players should check the in-game shop for the cost, exchange limits, and any purchase requirements.

Which Shop Rewards Should Players Prioritize?

Players should prioritize the items they most want before the market closes. Players collecting Memories may focus on Rafayel: Autumn Caress, while those who want to personalize their photos can consider the poses and Duo Photo Pose.

The exclusive Title, chat bubble, music, stickers, and journal items provide additional ways to customize the in-game experience. Since the available currency and exchange costs determine which items a player can claim, checking the shop early can help avoid missing a preferred reward.

How Skyvault Afar Fits Into Rafayel’s Release

Skyvault Afar complements Rafayel’s limited Memory Pair release by providing a separate route to collect additional Memories and cosmetics. Its activities focus on exploration, combat, and event-currency exchanges rather than relying solely on wishes.

Players can approach the event in three stages: complete Roaming Trails for Skyflame Reach and Diamonds, clear Companion Rehearsal for Skyflame Expanse, and collect Jade Clasps to redeem shop rewards.

This structure separates the main Memory rewards from the optional cosmetic items. Players interested in the two 4-Star Memories can focus on the exploration and combat requirements first, then use any remaining event time to complete tasks and exchange currency.

Collectors should also distinguish digital event rewards from physical merchandise. Animon Life is relevant to the broader official merchandise conversation for North American fans. Still, the Memories, Wishes, Diamonds, and cosmetic items listed here are digital rewards obtained through Love and Deepspace. The announcement does not confirm a physical merchandise release connected to Skyvault Afar.

Final Thoughts

Skyvault Afar offers a mix of story exploration, combat challenges, and collectible rewards for Love and Deepspace players. Completing Roaming Trails and Companion Rehearsal unlocks the two limited 4-Star Rafayel Memories, while Yanzhou Market provides additional rewards in exchange for Jade Clasps.

Players should track the main event deadline, complete their activities, and redeem their remaining currency before the market closes. Animon Life continues to follow official merchandise releases and related collecting news for North American customers.
