I love you for answering my question before I asked. Time to dust off the forge!
Also, anyone going to do a marathon gleambow hunt? Maybe for the new year?
Yay one of the only PVP events in Boundless!!
Of course that means it will either be them releasing cows and we have cow tipping or horse shoes or some other crazy Texan thing… meant more as a joke than anything and since I was born in Texas I’m allowed to make the joke!

Hmmm yeah we have a lot of new players too. Here’s a warning. Unlike many other activities here this is in fact brutally PVP sometimes.
No negativity intended, this is a different sort of event.
On popular worlds, the timers get tight. Unlike regular meteors, when you trigger a region center, the meteor spawns near the outside of the region, and it’s a real race. Once the timers dial in it’s hard, sometimes a whole planet needs a cooldown.
If you come at this thinking that if you spawned a meteor it’s “yours” you’re likely to be disappointed. Once it’s spawned it’s a race and a free for all. The meteor core loot goes to all players present, so do the sacs. But the blocks are for who gets them first.
With the right attitude, it’s a ton of fun.
Every instance of the event has caused a ton of wailing 
It’s also worth mentioning for people that haven’t done one - it’s not all glass and gleam here. In the last event there were 22 block types. This allows you to not only capture the rare colors, but to collect resources in colors that are assigned to planets but don’t actually spawn there, which is really nice.
With the proper expectations, it’s a super fun event. Just don’t be expecting to go right out and collect a ton of gleam in marvelous rare colors right off the bat. There more to it than that.
Here’s a look at some shots from one event where I spent most of a week doing nothing but primarily cleaning up dormant meteors:
Looking forward to this one I hope I get to spend at least a couple of days running hard. Especially since I just got two awesome sets of grapples from @Blendly.

Also, it looks like these guys at draconis have got you covered:
It requires Elemental Fusion. I would go buy a few stacks of those if I didn’t have plenty already. I’ll leave it for folks that need them.
Big props for whoever is running that shop!!

I bought him out once already I think I have about 15k totems X~X
Aye at the last event people were trying to get what, 200c for these? Average price around 100c unforged.
I have about 1/10 of that (1300 I think) but it’s more than you could use for the entire event!
A true Texan would have suggested tumbleweed races or a rattlesnake roundup! Lol!

Even though Monumental isn’t at the stage of delivering new content yet, I appreciate the amount of ‘content’ Monumental are giving us during the festive period - keeping us busy!

Azure is my shop on Finata. I check it daily and keep the totems stocked.
Also have 4 shop stands selling snowballs for 0.5c.

Cool, an event that I never get to experience because my general reaction time is much lower than that of others, and thus I never make it before the entire meteor is completely gobbled up.
@Tiggs @monty1 Is there any chance we could have the meteorite core at LEAST provide something (That isn’t the usual Oort/Metal/Mob Drops) for the not-so-fast players that participate? I got completely shafted the last time this event came around.

YES THIS THANK YOU.
Gosh, I applogize, Im tired, its been a long day. We all want new content, but that’s not happening for perhaps up to a year. In the meantime, please don’t wet blanket their efforts to jump in and at the very LEAST offer what we had before… I am STOKED they are doing these events. thankyou thankyou.

Yes a true Texan would do that with other true Texans… we know that average humans can’t compete in those things. So I offered up the more simple and fun answers. Come on dude…

Agree, especially since we haven’t had the gleambow event since 2020.

If it helps there are 87 worlds that will have gleambow meteors, though I’m not sure how many don’t have permissions for everyone.
Even if you can only access half, that’s more than 40, and with the still limited player base, you should be able to find regions on a world that is free of other players.
The meteors trigger even if you are on your own, so no need to race anyone else!
