Identity V Arbor Day 2026: All Free Rewards & Acorn Guide

The Identity V Arbor Day 2026 event runs **March 12–18, 2026 (UTC+8)** — but the deadlines that actually matter hit earlier. Treasured Acorns are the event currency, capped at 154 total, and they convert to Clues at a lousy 1:2 ratio after March 18. The free rewards are genuinely good: a B-tier Gamekeeper costume, A-tier Mindscape furniture, and more — no paid pass required.

Event Timeline & Key Dates

The broader Farewell Titantree Forest seasonal update runs March 5 – April 2. Don't let that fool you into thinking you have time. The critical deadlines are much earlier.

DateWhat Happens
March 5 (post-maintenance)Seasonal update begins; Wolf Knight & Doctor Puppy pets go live
March 5, 08:00 UTC+8Hotfix maintenance; ranked closes, forced exit by 11:00
March 12, 00:00 UTC+8Treasured Acorn event opens
~March 12 (Week 1 end)Wolf Knight discount expires: 710 → 888 Echoes
March 14, 23:59 UTC+8Doctor Puppy purchase deadline — hard cutoff
March 18, 23:59 UTC+8Acorn event closes; unused Acorns convert to Clues
April 1, 23:59 UTC+8Wolf Knight final purchase deadline
April 2Mario Pet releases (~388 Echoes, B-rarity)
April 19, 23:59 UTC+8Garden-Cyclamen furniture final deadline (3-purchase limit)

The Wolf Knight Week 1 discount cutoff is community-observed from first week language in official materials — treat it as approximate, not a confirmed timestamp.


Treasured Acorn Currency: How It Works

Acorns are earned through daily tasks and story content. They don't carry over — after March 18, every unspent Acorn converts to Clues at 1:2. That's a bad deal. Spend them before the deadline.

Total cap: 154 Acorns

  • 12 Acorns/day × 7 days = 84 Acorns from daily tasks
  • 10 Acorns/day × 7 stories = 70 Acorns from story completions

Miss one day and you permanently lose 22 Acorns (12 tasks + 10 story). There's no catch-up mechanic.


All Free Rewards — No Echoes Required

The free tracks are independent. You can earn login rewards without doing stories, and vice versa — but you need both for the full haul.

7-Day Login Rewards:

Identity V Gamekeeper in Guardian Spirit Arbor Day costume

  • Guardian Spirit B-tier Gamekeeper costume
  • Cozy Walnut Nest B-tier accessory
  • Hug sticker
  • Deep Forest portrait frame
  • Memories of Titantree Forest portrait

7-Day Story Completion Rewards:

  • A-tier Mindscape furniture
  • At the Edge of Fate label
  • Forest Glimmers room music

The Gamekeeper costume is worth calling out specifically. Gamekeeper had no Arbor Day skin despite the obvious forest thematic fit — this fills a genuine gap for Gamekeeper mains.

Daily Task Guide: Maximizing Acorn Income

The core loop is simple: hit your 12 daily Acorns, then complete the story. Do both every day.

Recommended Daily Order

  1. Log in and collect daily Clues (passive, 10 seconds)
  2. Complete the day's story conversation — time-gated, so do it early
  3. Play 10 ranked matches for Echo income (ranked first-win = 50 Echoes vs. 20/match for quick)
  4. Collect 12 Treasured Acorns from the event task panel

Ranked matches serve double duty: they count toward daily quotas and generate more Echoes per hour than quick matches. If you're farming for Doctor Puppy or Wolf Knight, ranked is the right call.

Survivor vs. Hunter Efficiency

Most guides skip this. If your daily tasks include role-specific objectives:

  • Survivor tasks are completion-based (rescue teammates, escape) — more RNG-dependent
  • Hunter tasks are performance-based (down survivors, hook) — more controllable if you're skilled

Play whichever role you're stronger with. The Acorn value is identical either way. Don't force a role switch just because a task mentions it.

Story Conversations Matter Beyond Acorns

The daily stories aren't just flavor text. Community testing shows that engaging with all conversation options produces the most developed Seedling plant form by day 7. It doesn't affect rewards, but it's worth knowing if you care about the visual progression.


What Happens If You Start Late

No catch-up mechanic exists. Here's the honest math:

Start DayDays RemainingMax AcornsFree A-tier Furniture?
March 12 (Day 1)7154Yes — full rewards
March 13 (Day 2)6132Login track only — story track needs all 7
March 14 (Day 3)5110No
March 15+4 or fewer88 or lessNo

If you missed the first day or two, focus on remaining story completions and hit the event store discounts while they're still active. The 1:2 Acorn-to-Clue conversion is a consolation prize, not a strategy.


Garden-Cyclamen: The Moon River Carnival Connection

Easy to miss. The Moon River Carnival public map has a flower field planting feature specifically for B-rarity Garden-Cyclamen furniture. Each piece covers 4 plots, making the Week 1 price of 230 Echoes (57.5 Echoes/plot) meaningfully better than the standard 288 Echoes (72 Echoes/plot). Buying all three at Week 1 pricing saves 174 Echoes total against the 3-purchase limit.


F2P Echo Budget: Can You Afford the Pets?

Consistent F2P players earn roughly 5,560–6,160 Echoes per month through normal play:

SourceDaily YieldMonthly Total
120 daily missions~120/day~3,360
Ranked first-win50/day~1,400
10 matches/day200/day~5,600
Weekly Logic Path~71/day~2,000

Targeting both A-tier pets at Week 1 pricing costs 1,598 Echoes minimum (710 + 888). Add three Garden-Cyclamen at 230 each and you're at 2,288 Echoes total. That's achievable for a player who's been farming consistently since March 5.

If your reserves are running short heading into the event — especially with the March 14 Doctor Puppy cutoff approaching — Identity V cheap Echo top up for event rewards 2026 can bridge the gap without missing the hard deadline.

Pets or Furniture First?

  • Pet-first (recommended for most): Doctor Puppy's March 14 deadline takes absolute priority. Wolf Knight's Week 1 discount ends around March 12. Both hit before the event closes.
  • Furniture-first (room builders): The 230 Echo Week 1 price for Garden-Cyclamen is genuinely good value if you're actively building your Manor. Just don't let it eat into your pet budget.
  • Reserve 300–500 Echoes for Mario Pet on April 2. Don't blow your entire reserve on Week 1 and miss the April drop.

Common Mistakes That Cost Players Real Rewards

Treating April 2 as the main deadline. The most expensive mistake in this event. By April 2, you've already missed Doctor Puppy (March 14) and the Wolf Knight discount (~March 12). The seasonal update ending on April 2 creates false comfort about the real cutoffs.

Skipping daily stories. The 70 bonus Acorns from story completion are easy to overlook if you're only checking the task panel. Stories also unlock the A-tier Mindscape furniture — the best free reward in the event.

Spending Acorns on returning B-tier costumes early. Items like Perfumer Lily of the Valley and Seer Verdant Bard will likely reappear in future events. Limited-time exclusives and discounted items always come first.

Assuming leftover Acorns aren't wasted. They are. 84 unspent Acorns becomes 168 Clues — negligible value. Plan your spending so you're near zero on March 18.

Not farming ranked during the event. Seven days of 10 ranked matches daily generates meaningful Echo income that compounds into the April 2 Mario Pet window.


What's New in 2026

  • Guardian Spirit Gamekeeper costume — fills a long-standing thematic gap
  • Wolf Knight and Doctor Puppy as new A-tier seasonal pets
  • Cheerleader Flying Squirrel as a new pet option
  • Moon River Carnival map integration with the Garden-Cyclamen flower field planting mechanic

One thing worth flagging: some sources describe a 20-day event running March 5–25. The Treasured Acorn event specifically runs March 12–18. The broader Farewell Titantree Forest seasonal update does run longer (March 5 – April 2), which explains the confusion. The Acorn currency and its rewards are tied to the 7-day window only.


FAQ

Can F2P players get all Arbor Day rewards? Yes, for the free track. All login and story completion rewards — including the A-tier Mindscape furniture — require zero Echoes. The A-tier pets need Echoes, but consistent F2P players can earn enough through ranked matches and dailies. Doctor Puppy at 888 Echoes is achievable in 5–7 days of active farming from March 5.

Do unused Acorns expire after March 18? They convert to Clues at 1:2 — they don't disappear, but 84 Acorns becomes 168 Clues, which is minimal value. Spend intentionally before the deadline.

Is the event available in all regions simultaneously? Times are in UTC+8. March 12, 00:00 UTC+8 = March 11, 16:00 UTC. The March 5 maintenance (08:00 UTC+8) affects ranked queue access globally.

What if I start the event late? Joining on Day 3 (March 14) or later locks you out of the A-tier Mindscape furniture — it requires all 7 story completions. Focus on remaining daily Acorns, active store discounts, and Doctor Puppy if the March 14 window is still open.

Echoes or Fragments for Doctor Puppy? Echoes (888). Spending 3,188 Fragments is a significant sink that could go toward other cosmetics. Only use Fragments if you're sitting on a large surplus with no other targets.

Is there any way to earn more than 154 Acorns? No. The cap is hard: 84 from daily tasks plus 70 from stories. No paid pass increases Acorn income. Budget your spending against 154 maximum.


Week 1 Action Plan

  1. March 5–12: Farm ranked matches for Echo income; buy Wolf Knight at 710 Echoes before Week 1 ends
  2. By March 14: Purchase Doctor Puppy (888 Echoes or 3,188 Fragments) — hard deadline, no exceptions
  3. March 12–18: Log in daily, complete all 7 stories, collect 12 Acorns/day
  4. Week 1: Buy Garden-Cyclamen at 230 Echoes if room decoration is a priority
  5. Reserve 300–500 Echoes for Mario Pet on April 2
  6. March 18 before 23:59: Spend remaining Acorns — don't let them auto-convert

The event window is short. Seven days for Acorns, with the two most time-sensitive purchases hitting before the event even fully opens. Players who want both A-tier pets and the discounted furniture should plan their Echo budget now. If reserves are thin heading into the March 14 cutoff, buy Identity V Echoes discount first week recharge before the deadline arrives — not after.
