Love and Deepspace Zayne Birthday Event: When Embers Rise Memory, Rewards and Dates

Aug 28

Written By Animon

Zayne’s birthday event, When Embers Rise, runs from August 31 at 05:00 to September 7 at 04:59 server time. The celebration introduces his birthday-exclusive 5-Star Memory, [Zayne: When Embers Rise], along with a special event story, Daily Outfit, Photo Pose, Limited Wishes, birthday video call, and Home interaction.

The event also gives players several rewards through different activities rather than a single banner. Completing birthday tasks unlocks [Windowsill Signpost], which can be exchanged at the Wayside Stand for Zayne-themed rewards, including [Zayne: Onward Now], [Zayne: Dustflame Echo], [Hope-chasing Rescue Doctor], and other collectibles.

Players should also log in during the specified dates to claim 10 free Limited Wishes and access Zayne’s birthday call and Home interaction. The birthday campaign therefore combines a limited Memory banner, story content, free rewards, and interactive features.

When Does Zayne’s Birthday Event Start and End?

The When Embers Rise birthday event begins on August 31 at 05:00 and ends on September 7 at 04:59, based on server time. This overall event window also covers the featured 5-Star Memory, Dawnlit Path story content, Wayside Stand rewards, and the free 10-pull login reward.

Some birthday features have shorter availability windows than the main event. Zayne’s special video call and Home interaction become available from September 5 at 00:00 and remain accessible until September 7 at 04:59 server time.

Zayne: When Embers Rise Is the Birthday 5-Star Memory

[Zayne: When Embers Rise] is the main limited 5-Star Memory introduced for Zayne’s birthday. During the event, its drop rate increases significantly in the relevant Wish event.

According to the official announcement, the Memory is also permanently limited to this event. Once the birthday event ends, [Zayne: When Embers Rise] will not become available through other methods and will not be added to the permanent Wish Pool, Xspace Echo.

This makes the event period particularly important for players who want this specific Zayne Memory. The Wish event also uses a pity system, with the detailed rules available through the in-game event rules page.

When Embers Rise Focuses on Zayne’s Birthday Story

The birthday storyline places Zayne in Coroe after he receives emergency deployment orders shortly before his birthday. Rather than celebrating under normal circumstances, the event follows a support mission where the protagonist accompanies him.

The story also turns the temporary setting into part of the birthday experience. With the protagonist beside him, even an unfamiliar or temporary home becomes a warmer place for Zayne.

The birthday celebration eventually moves toward a more personal moment. Players can prepare a cotton plushie and cake for Zayne and present them to him during the event. This also unlocks the birthday wish interactive story, adding a dedicated interaction to the event narrative.

Dawnlit Path Adds a Full Birthday Event Story

Dawnlit Path is the story-focused part of Zayne’s birthday celebration. Players participate in the support mission in Coroe and experience exclusive scenes connected to Zayne’s birthday.

The event isn't limited to reading the story, as its activities also contribute to birthday rewards. Completing the relevant tasks lets players collect [Windowsill Signpost], which they can use at the Wayside Stand.

How to Get Windowsill Signpost

[Windowsill Signpost] is obtained by completing event tasks during Dawnlit Path. The item serves as the exchange currency for several birthday-exclusive rewards.

The Wayside Stand is therefore the main destination for players collecting the event currency. Instead of receiving every cosmetic reward automatically, players use their accumulated Windowsill Signpost items to redeem specific rewards.

Wayside Stand Rewards Include a New Memory and Outfit

The Wayside Stand offers some of the most notable collectible rewards in the birthday event. These include a new 3-Star Memory, a Daily Outfit, a Photo Pose, an event title, a Chibi Avatar, a Chat Bubble, and Background Music.

[Zayne: Onward Now] is particularly notable because it appears as both a birthday-exclusive 3-Star Memory and a Photo Pose name in the event rewards. Players should check the individual Wayside Stand entries to distinguish the Memory from the pose reward.

The reward list also adds a cosmetic side to the event beyond the main Memory banner. Players who collect titles, avatars, chat elements, music, and outfits have several additional items to work toward during the same event period.

Snowmelt Gift Gives 10 Free Limited Wishes

The Snowmelt Gift provides 10 free [Deepspace Wish: Limited] items through in-game Mail. Players only need to log in during the main birthday event period to claim the reward.

The free Wishes are available from August 31 at 05:00 until September 7 at 04:59 server time. This gives players a full week to collect the birthday login reward rather than requiring them to claim it on one specific day.

The event announcement also states that the wider birthday celebration contains [Deepspace Wish: Limited ×20] among its rewards. The 10 Wishes delivered through Mail form one part of that broader reward pool, while another 10 Limited Wishes are listed among the Wayside Stand/event rewards.

Zayne’s Birthday Video Call and Home Interaction

Zayne’s birthday interaction content becomes available on September 5, two days before the event ends. From 00:00 on September 5 until 04:59 on September 7, players can receive a special birthday video call from Zayne.

The same period also unlocks a special interaction in Home. Players need to enter the Home feature during the availability window to access this birthday-specific interaction.

This shorter window is worth remembering because it differs from the main event schedule. Players who only check the event near the beginning should return after September 5 to access the video call and Home content.

New Heartsmeet and Everwarmth Packs

The Shop also receives two new pack series during the birthday event: Heartsmeet Pack and Everwarmth Pack. Both series contain [Deepspace Wish: Limited] and other materials.

The official announcement states that these packs are offered at special prices, with discounts reaching up to 90%. Availability is tied to the event period, and the in-game rules provide detailed conditions for each pack.

These Shop packs are separate from the free birthday rewards. Players can therefore distinguish between rewards earned through event participation and optional Shop packs containing additional materials.

For fans who follow Love and Deepspace beyond in-game events, Animon Life can also serve as a separate reference for franchise merchandise and related releases. Physical merchandise availability is separate from digital rewards such as Memories, Wishes, and event currencies.

What Should Players Know Before the Event Ends?

The most important deadline is September 7 at 04:59 server time, as most birthday content closes then. This includes the featured When Embers Rise Memory event, Dawnlit Path, Snowmelt Gift, and Wayside Stand.

Players should also claim the September 5 birthday features before the final deadline. The video call and Home interaction remain available until the same September 7, 04:59 cutoff.
