The Big Time 'It's Almost Summer' event pushes players to craft specific items within a two-week window. Leaderboard points stack up through crafting weapons, armor sets, Hourglasses, and decorations tied to the PreSeason gear collection. These PreSeason items span themes like Egyptian, Arthurian, and Evermore. Players chasing top rankings need to focus on these items, since they deliver the most leaderboard value.
Completing full armor sets like the Mantle of the Onyx Throne or the Vestments of the Cosmic Dominion grants an extra 15,000 points each if the crafted pieces hit at least Uncommon rarity. This bonus can be claimed twice, meaning players can rack up a serious point advantage by finishing both sets.

Weekly Challenges and Midweek Bonuses
The event includes weekly challenges that offer extra point opportunities. Weekly Challenge #1 has three tasks: opening Scarecrow chests, crafting Hourglasses of any rarity, and opening boss chests from prestige portals. These challenges wrap up by June 16 at 6 PM UTC and reward varying amounts of leaderboard points.
There's also a Midweek Madness bonus period running until June 12 at 6 PM UTC. During this stretch, players can refine Tattered Obulus for a 20% boost in Gilded Obulus returns and earn double leaderboard points when crafting PreSeason Decorations from the Egyptian, Arthurian, and Evermore themes. These temporary bonuses help players climb the leaderboard faster.

Participation and Game Mechanics
Big Time is available as a free-to-play action RPG during its Open Access period, letting new players jump in and explore its player-driven economy and procedurally generated dungeons. But participating in the 'It's Almost Summer' event requires owning certain NFTs, which can be picked up through the Open Loot marketplace.
Players need to own SPACE, a personal metaverse in the game, where they can connect Workshop NFTs. These Workshops come in three types: Forges, Armories, and Time Wardens. Each Workshop has ten rarity tiers and handles a specific crafting role. Forges craft weapon cosmetic collectibles, Armories handle armor cosmetic collectibles, and Time Wardens produce Hourglasses.
Hourglasses can be made using Time Crystals, the game's non-crypto premium currency. Crafting cosmetic collectibles requires $BIGTIME tokens and refined cosmetic shards. Cosmetic shards drop as in-game loot and can be refined with the right Workshops.

What is the $BIGTIME VIP Program?
Before the event kicked off, Big Time's developers updated the $BIGTIME VIP Program by introducing a new system to boost players' VIP Cosmetic Scores. Workshops now provide extra bonus points at every 10-level milestone, adding a percentage-based multiplier on top of the base points awarded based on Workshop rarity.
This update increases the value of higher-tier Workshops on a player's VIP Cosmetic Score. Higher VIP Cosmetic Scores improve a player's odds of reaching advanced VIP tiers, which require holding specific amounts of $BIGTIME tokens. Hitting these tiers unlocks exclusive benefits within the game.
