Ahoy, Mateys! Set sail for the first-ever creative build event in Saltwater Scourge as you compete in the Shipwright Sapling Showdown.

This competition is all about letting the crisp fall air invigorate your senses and ignite your green thumb. Gather your hatchets and hoes and prepare to transform a barren island into a lush and vibrant autumn-themed tree farm. Envision you and your crew mates strolling through tree-lined orchards on a chilly day, picking apples, sipping hot cider, and devouring apple pie. The competition will test your layout abilities, creativity, and resourcefulness.

This event will run from September 15 - September 27. Submissions will be accepted via this forum thread starting at 12:00 a.m. September 15 until 12:00 a.m. September 27. The winner will be announced on September 30 and the winner will be granted access to the spoils of the event and the "Master Shipwright" title.

RULES

• Must be the owner of the island.
• The build must be submitted by the player/owner who built the majority of the farm (if working in a team).
• Only 1 submission is allowed per player.

• Creativity and uniqueness - Get wild with your build!
• Must have at minimum 10 trees in the build of your farm - This event is based around a tree farm, plant those saplings boys and girls!
• Does not have to be an entire island - can be just a bounty of trees with farmland! Let your skills take you where they may.
