The Farewell Titantree Forest event runs March 5 – April 2, 2026. Two limited A-rarity pets, a B-rarity furniture set, the Arbor Day sub-event, and a realistic 5,000–5,800 Echoes available through F2P farming. One thing matters above everything else: Week 1 discounts expire around March 12, and missing them costs 352 combined Echoes. Everything else in this guide flows from that deadline.
Key Dates
Doctor Puppy's March 14 expiry is the sharpest deadline in the event — nine days from launch. Don't treat it as a get to it eventually item.
Event Mechanics
Arbor Day (March 12–18): Treasure Acorns
Daily cap: 12 Treasure Acorns/day
Story yield: 10 Acorns/day × 7 days = 70 Acorns from stories alone
Event maximum: 84 Acorns total
Unused Acorns: Convert to Clues at 1:2 ratio at event end
Complete daily stories first — they're the most reliable source. The sub-event also awards Room Music Forest Glimmers and a Furniture Mindscape at zero Echo cost. Other shop items include A Single Iris Purple furniture (288 Echoes/1,088 Clues), Display Cabinets, and Spyglass/Clue packages — lower priority unless you're a dedicated room decorator.
The mechanic most guides miss: Even if you don't want Arbor Day shop items, completing daily stories still generates Clues via the 1:2 conversion. Those Clues offset Garden-Cyclamen's 1,088 Clue cost — so Arbor Day participation reduces your Echo spend on furniture regardless. Always complete the stories.
F2P Echo Farming: Realistic Numbers
The 10 matches/day tasks and daily missions share some objectives — these figures already account for that overlap.
Cumulative Recharge Milestones

10,000 Echoes recharged: 1 Spark
150,000 Echoes recharged: Dynamic portraits + 3,000 Inspirations
12,000–18,000 Echoes accumulated (gameplay, not necessarily spent): Free B-rarity costume
Every Limited Reward Ranked
S-Tier: Doctor Puppy (A-Rarity Pet)
Cost: 888 Echoes or 3,188 Fragments | Expires: March 14
Top priority, hardest deadline. A-rarity limited pets have an extremely poor return rate — community consensus treats them as permanent exclusives. Before spending Echoes, audit your Fragment balance. If you're sitting on 3,188 Fragments, use those and save your Echoes for Wolf Knight.
S-Tier: Wolf Knight (A-Rarity Pet)
Cost: 710 Echoes (Week 1, ~until March 12) / 888 Echoes standard | Expires: April 1
The Week 1 discount saves 178 Echoes — nearly half a Garden-Cyclamen plot. Sequence: secure Doctor Puppy first (tighter deadline), then Wolf Knight before ~March 12. April 1 expiry gives more breathing room, but the discount doesn't wait.
A-Tier: Garden-Cyclamen Furniture (B-Rarity)
Cost: 230 Echoes/plot (Week 1) / 288 Echoes standard | Max: 3 purchases | Available until: April 19
Three plots at Week 1 = 690 Echoes. Standard pricing = 864 Echoes. That's 174 Echoes saved. Also available via Moon River Carnival public map through flower field planting — worth checking if you want to stretch your budget. If forced to choose between Wolf Knight (710 Week 1) and three Cyclamen (690 Week 1), Wolf Knight wins on collection permanence.
B-Tier: Mario Pet (B-Rarity)
Cost: 388 Echoes | Releases: April 2
Releases on the event's final day. This is exactly why you keep a 300–500 Echo reserve rather than spending everything by Week 2. B-rarity, so lower prestige than the A-pets — but 388 Echoes is reasonable once you've secured both A-pets.
C-Tier: Gacha / Essence Pulls
Skip unless you're at soft pity (60+ pulls). Hard pity sits at 250 pulls — roughly 79,500 Echoes — versus direct S-tier purchases at 2,888 Echoes. The math isn't close. Gacha only makes sense if you're already deep into a pity cycle.
Do These Rewards Return?
Limited pets have historically not returned to the standard shop. This is community consensus based on observed patterns, not an official NetEase guarantee. But the pattern is consistent enough that treating these pets as permanent exclusives is the correct planning assumption. Furniture has slightly more return precedent — another reason pets rank above furniture in priority.
Daily Farming Route
Morning (15 minutes after daily reset)
Complete Arbor Day daily stories (March 12–18 only): 10 Acorns, most time-efficient source per minute. Do these first.
Claim daily mission board: 120 Echoes/day requires active claiming.
Queue ranked match for first-win bonus: 50 Echoes. Best captured early.
Mid-Session
Run your ranked match, then shift to casual/quick matches for weekly Logic Path progress. The 500 Echoes/week from Logic Paths is the largest single weekly source — non-negotiable. Mix survivor and hunter matches; some tasks are role-specific, so alternating is the most efficient completion path.
End-of-Day Check
Verify: Acorn cap status (12/day max), unclaimed mission rewards, weekly Logic Path threshold. Missing a daily reset isn't catastrophic. Missing Arbor Day stories during March 12–18 is — they don't accumulate retroactively.
Time Investment
Casual (dailies + 1 ranked match): ~25–35 min/day → ~170 Echoes/day
Dedicated (dailies + ranked + weekly progress): ~45–60 min/day → full 5,000–5,800 over 28 days
The Illusion Hall (March 5–19, Muse Mark level 1 required) is worth engaging with during its window but isn't a primary Echo source. Don't restructure your route around it.
F2P vs. Paying Players
F2P players can realistically secure both A-pets. The math: Doctor Puppy (888) + Wolf Knight at Week 1 (710) = 1,598 Echoes minimum. With 5,000–5,800 available through consistent farming, that leaves 3,400–4,200 for furniture, Mario Pet, and reserves — assuming you start March 5 and maintain daily consistency.
The critical variable is your existing Echo balance on March 5. Starting from zero means farming aggressively from day one to hit Doctor Puppy's March 14 deadline. If you're 400–500 Echoes short, a small top-up makes a real difference. For players looking to close that gap before the Doctor Puppy deadline, Identity V cheap Echo top up March 2026 is worth checking — the $9.99 package (759 base Echoes, doubled to 1,518 on first purchase) works out to roughly $0.0132 per Echo.
Before any top-up: confirm your User ID and server (Asia/NA/EU) from Settings > Games > Account. Wrong ID entries have no refund path. This is the most common top-up mistake in the community — verify every time.
Echo Priority Order
Doctor Puppy — 888 Echoes, hardest deadline, highest collection value
Wolf Knight — 710 Echoes (Week 1), saves 178 vs. waiting
Garden-Cyclamen ×3 — 690 Echoes total (Week 1), saves 174 vs. standard
Mario Pet — 388 Echoes, budget-friendly, event's final day
Gacha — only at deep soft pity
Fragment & Clue Audit: Do This First
Before spending a single Echo, check your balances. 3,188 Fragments = Doctor Puppy free. 1,088 Clues = Garden-Cyclamen free. Accumulated currencies from previous events can free up hundreds of Echoes. This is the most underutilized optimization in the community's approach to this event.
And the Season Pass: buying it late still grants 60–70% of completed mission rewards retroactively, plus 500–1,000 Echoes. Waiting until Week 3 to evaluate your progress before purchasing is a legitimate strategy.
Five Mistakes to Avoid
1. Missing Week 1 discounts. Combined loss: 352 Echoes (178 on Wolf Knight + 174 on three Cyclamen). That's nearly a Mario Pet. Treat ~March 12 as a hard deadline.
2. Spending all reserves by Week 2. Mario Pet drops April 2. Players who exhaust their budget chasing furniture in Week 2 consistently regret the missed Mario purchase. Keep 300–500 Echoes in reserve through Week 3.
3. Buying permanent S-tier items over limited pets. A permanent S-tier costume costs 2,888 Echoes and will still be available after the event. Limited A-pets historically don't return. The opportunity cost is real.
4. Skipping the Fragment/Clue audit. Covered above — the single most common Echo waste in the community.
5. Wrong Player ID on top-ups. Verify from Settings > Games > Account every time. Server lock means no reversal on a misrouted top-up. If you're recharging before the Doctor Puppy deadline, buy Identity V Echoes online and have your ID confirmed before checkout.
FAQ
When does the event end? Has it been extended before? Confirmed end: April 2, 2026. Garden-Cyclamen available until April 19. No extension history for this specific iteration — plan around April 2 as a hard deadline for pets.
Can I start late and still get rewards? Doctor Puppy: no, if you start after March 14. Wolf Knight: yes, until April 1 (but you'll miss the Week 1 discount after ~March 12). Arbor Day requires participation during March 12–18 specifically — late starters miss it entirely. Everything else scales proportionally with your start date.
Do purchased rewards expire after April 2? No. Pets and furniture are permanent account additions. What expires is the ability to purchase them. Unused Treasure Acorns convert to Clues at event end rather than disappearing.
Are the limited pets truly non-returning? Community consensus says yes, based on historical patterns. Not an official NetEase guarantee. But the observed pattern across previous events is consistent enough that treating them as non-returning is the correct planning assumption — the downside of being wrong is losing permanent access to an A-rarity pet.
Which characters benefit from this event's items? The pets and furniture are cosmetic — no gameplay impact. For character meta: Matador (Hernando Romero) is currently SS-tier among survivors. S-tier includes Cheerleader, Prospector, Forward, Doctor, Lanternist, Mercenary, and Mechanic.
Is the Illusion Hall worth engaging with? Yes, if you meet the requirements (Muse Mark level 1, Asia/NA/EU server, March 5–19 window). It's supplementary — don't restructure your daily route around it, but don't ignore it either.
The short version: lock in Doctor Puppy before March 14, grab Wolf Knight and Garden-Cyclamen at Week 1 prices before ~March 12, complete Arbor Day stories every day during March 12–18, and keep 300–500 Echoes in reserve for Mario Pet on April 2. F2P players who start farming March 5 and stay consistent can realistically secure both A-pets — but the margin is tight enough that a small top-up is worth considering if you're entering the event with a low balance.
