How to clear Infinite Borders event rewards during Mid-Autumn festivals

To clear every seasonal Mid-Autumn reward in Infinite Borders, your account must reach a Historical Force Value of at least 200 on an eligible server, log in across each daily stage reset, and complete the event mini-games without missing the final event deadline. Unlike events that utilize an item exchange shop, official Mid-Autumn festivals award free Jades and limited cosmetics directly through stage completions and evening community gatherings rather than a token redemption stall. As of September 17, 2026, official announcements for a 2026 festival run have not been published, leaving the documented 2023 and 2024 schedules as the verified operational blueprint.

Account prerequisites and server eligibility

Seasonal festival events in Infinite Borders enforce strict participation filters to prevent brand-new throwaway accounts from sweeping currency reserves.

Historically, every Mid-Autumn seasonal event requires your Lord account to possess a Historical Force Value ≥200 before the stage interface unlocks. Server requirements also apply based on launch timing:

• Season 1 Servers: Must have launched prior to a specific cutoff window before the festival begins (such as the September 17, 2024, 01:00 UTC+9 cutoff recorded for the 2024 run).
• Season 2 and Conquest Servers: Automatically eligible once the Historical Force threshold is met.

If you sit below 200 Force Value when festival activities begin, spend your initial stamina expanding into higher-level resource tiles to push your historical milestone over the threshold.

Historical Mid-Autumn event formats and reward structures

Official records confirm that Infinite Borders Mid-Autumn activities do not rely on currency token grinding or a tactical material exchange shop. Instead, rewards are tied to daily puzzle completions, lantern releases, and scheduled banquet logins.

Daily stage clears: Securing free Jades

Jades are the primary premium resource in Infinite Borders, essential for converting skill points, speeding building queues, and recruiting commanders. Mid-Autumn mini-games serve as a consistent source of free Jades if cleared daily.

The lantern and puzzle mechanics

During the 2024 Autumn Lanterns to the Moon run, players logged in daily to reveal progressive lantern lighting puzzles. Interacting with the puzzle elements illuminates surrounding nodes. Once all lanterns light up simultaneously, the stage registers as cleared.

In the 2023 Under the Moon variant, players solved 9 dismantled portrait scroll stages. Each scroll required piecing together fragmented artwork. First-time clears on each daily puzzle immediately deposit Jades into your Lord inventory. Missing a day risks locking out stage-gated progression before the event timer expires.

Clearing cosmetics and social buffs

Cosmetic rewards and operational buffs require actions beyond simple puzzle clears.

1. Main City Celebrations: After solving daily puzzles, switch to your Main City view. In 2024, releasing all lit lanterns from the Main City triggered the time-limited Lord Manual Background, Mid-Autumn Homesickness.
2. Milestone Cosmetics: During multi-stage runs like 2023's 9-scroll sequence, reaching 5 restored scrolls unlocked a time-limited Avatar Frame, while completing all 9 delivered a permanent Solar Term Emoji.
3. Scheduled Evening Banquets: Timed events often feature an evening banquet window. In 2023, the Family Banquet opened nightly between 19:00 and 00:00 UTC+9. Attending unlocked a time-limited Letter Background and granted a temporary reduction in team maintenance consumption, saving food and supplies for your active military marches.
4. Interactive Social Drops: Sub-features like releasing lotus lanterns rewarded cosmetic chat bubbles on first participation.

If your active campaign needs extra recruitment pulls beyond seasonal stage rewards, consider replenishing your reserves through an Infinite Borders top-up.

Understanding the shop priority misconception

Players accustomed to seasonal strategy events often look for an exchange stall to trade farmed tokens for upgrade materials. Infinite Borders Mid-Autumn festivals omit this mechanic entirely.

Without event currency to stockpile, there is no need to deliberate over purchase priorities. Every reward—Jades, backgrounds, chat bubbles, avatar frames, and emojis—delivers directly upon finishing each stage or attendance check. The only failure risk is calendar expiration: missing a daily reset at 00:00 UTC+9 permanently closes unplayed stages.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I miss a daily puzzle stage?

Past festival designs required unlocking stages sequentially. Because Mid-Autumn events generally run for a brief window—such as the four-day span in September 2024—failing to log in daily can prevent you from reaching the final milestone needed for manual backgrounds or permanent emojis.

Can newly created accounts access Mid-Autumn event stages?

Only if they meet server launch date cutoffs and push their Historical Force Value to 200 or higher before the festival concludes. If your server opened after the designated cutoff hour, the event interface will not appear.
