# Summer Shell Hunt

<img src="/files/4LXv5icLpFcVdtSLyUQ8" alt="Neat Shell" width="55">

**Neat Shell** dig spots — `comodo` (Southern Comodo Beach)

**Event Command:** `@summer` — warps you straight to the beach!

***

## Overview

Summer is on! During the summer season, **Comodo Beach** is dotted with **Neat Shell** dig spots — around **20 of them** scattered along the southern shoreline. Click one, dig through the sand for a few seconds, and see what washes up!

Every dig gives you one random shell — and about **1 in 4** digs rewards the shell you're actually after: the **Summer Shell**.

{% hint style="info" %}
The server announces the hunt in the **#events** channel every couple of hours: *"Summer is on, use @summer to join the Summer Shell hunt!"*
{% endhint %}

***

## How to Participate

1. Type **`@summer`** anywhere (except no-warp maps) — you'll be warped to Comodo Beach.
2. Look for the little **Neat Shell** starfish spots along the sand and click one.
3. Wait out the short digging progress bar (about 10 seconds).
4. Collect your shell — then move on to the next spot and keep digging!

## What You Can Dig Up

Each dig gives **one** of the following, at random:

## Important Notes

{% hint style="warning" %}

* The Summer Shell Hunt is a **seasonal event** — it only runs during the summer months, so stock up while the beach is open!
* You need **800 Summer Shells** for the talisman. At roughly a 1-in-4 drop chance, that's a lot of digging — pace yourself and enjoy the beach!
* `@summer` won't work from maps that block warping.
