Special Note: The Waswood and Festival Story Items[edit]

While we can expect the items available for to recur again every year, certain items from summer festivals are tied to the story of the event, and will not be available in subsequent years. Some of these may be available through the Sacroboscan Calendar when the event is eventually added to the Waswood rotation, either in their original form or altered to suit the Parabolan settings. Possibly some may even become permanently accessible in future content. We won't know until it happens.

The Grand Clearing-Out[edit]

Several of these are actually former ELECTION items, given a permanent home in the GCO Waswood.
