The Return of Mystic Sands!

Mystic Sands has returned! 🌵

For the first time since it's release in 2021, Mystic Sands has returned to Witch It!

This limited-time event will give you an opportunity to earn 80+ Mystic Sands items by combining Ankhs with Cryptic Artifacts! More information can be found below. ☀️

Mystic Sands will run until 7th October (7pm CET).

How do I obtain Mystic Sands items?

Opening Witch It during the Mystic Sands event will grant you 30 "Cryptic Artifacts"! A Cryptic Artifact contains a random Mystic Sands item, which can only be opened by combining them with an "Ankh". 🗝️ To earn Ankhs, fill up the Item Cauldron with 250 experience points. You can see the item cauldron fill up at the end of the round, on the level up screen. Ankhs have a 60% chance of being earned on any Official server once the item cauldron is filled. If you're lucky enough to earn one, head back to the main menu and press 'Mystic Sands' to combine it with a Cryptic Artifact! 💎 Every Mystic Sands item earned through Cryptic Artifacts are tradable and craftable even after the event is over. If you use up all your Cryptic Artifacts, you can craft more by combining 5 Ankhs together!

Note: Ankhs can only be obtained in Official servers. You can also receive the new item through:
- Random drops from filling up the item cauldron at the end of a round.
- Trading with other players (we recommend using our Discord server to find traders).
