Creatures of Sonaria: How to Get Sparklers in the Fireworks Event 2026

Farm Sparklers through three repeatable mission sets and spend them on limited event creatures, skins, and plushies before the event closes.

Farm Sparklers through three repeatable mission sets and spend them on limited event creatures, skins, and plushies before the event closes.

Sparklers are the event currency for the Fireworks Event 2026 in Creatures of Sonaria. You spend them at the event shop on creatures, color palettes, creature skins, and plushies that only exist while the event runs. There is no gacha luck involved here. You earn Sparklers by finishing set groups of missions, and those groups reset so you can grind them again.

Quick answer: Complete the Colorful Shockwaves, Explosive Tendencies, and Radiant Rockets mission sets. Each finished set pays out Sparklers, and every set becomes available again 24 hours after you clear it.

Three mission sets that pay out Sparklers

The Fireworks Event 2026 adds event missions. Some of those missions hand you exclusive creatures such as Spirafie and Smoglett, but three specific sets reward Sparklers instead. You need to finish every mission inside a set to collect its payout.

Mission setSparklers earned
Colorful Shockwaves200
Explosive Tendencies200
Radiant Rockets300

Clearing all three in one cycle gives you 700 Sparklers. Because they repeat, the total you can bank is only limited by how long the event stays live.


Colorful Shockwaves (200 Sparklers)

This set is built around pack play, so you need to be grouped with other creatures for its objectives. Finish all of the following to claim the reward.

  • Grow a tier 4 creature to age 200 while in a pack.
  • Drink 300 units of water while in a pack.
  • Eat 300 units of food while in a pack.
  • Experience the Crackling Sky weather while in a pack.
  • Create and protect your pack’s den for 10 minutes.

Explosive Tendencies (200 Sparklers)

This set is the solo counterpart. Every objective must be done while you are not in a pack, so leave any group before you start.

  • Grow a tier 3 species to age 200 while not in a pack.
  • Drink 100 units of water while not in a pack.
  • Eat 100 units of food while not in a pack.
  • Experience the Sparkling Sunset weather while not in a pack.
  • Survive for 15 minutes while not in a pack.

Radiant Rockets (300 Sparklers)

This set is tied to the Hardcore Realm and pays the most Sparklers of the three. Expect it to take the longest because it stacks regional mission requirements with survival objectives.

  • Complete five Hardcore Regional Mission sets.
  • Drink 350 units of water in the Hardcore Realm.
  • Eat 350 units of food in the Hardcore Realm.
  • Experience the Sparkling Sunset weather in the Hardcore Realm.
  • Experience the Crackling Sky weather in the Hardcore Realm.

Farming Sparklers on repeat

All three sets reset on a timer. Once you finish a set, you can start it again 24 hours later. That means the mission sets are your stable, renewable source of Sparklers rather than a one-time payout, so returning each day lets you keep clearing the event shop.

Note: The mission sets and the event itself run until July 31, 2026. After that date the Fireworks Event 2026 ends, and both the missions and the shop close, so bank and spend your Sparklers before then.


What Sparklers buy in the event shop

Spend Sparklers at the event shop on creatures, color palettes, creature skins, and a plushie. These are the prices during Fireworks Event 2026 Week 2.

ItemTypeCost (Sparklers)
ZietiCreature1,200

DazzlerCreature skin400
Explosive StarsCreature skin400
Exploding FlamesCreature skin600

Sparkler plushiePlushie500

If a specific creature is your goal, plan your grind around its cost. Firakai and Cindrothar sit at 1,600 Sparklers each, so you need to clear the full set of missions several times to afford either one.


How to confirm you earned Sparklers

A set only pays out once every one of its listed missions shows as complete. When the final mission in Colorful Shockwaves, Explosive Tendencies, or Radiant Rockets ticks off, the Sparklers are added to your balance and the set enters its 24-hour cooldown. If you have not received any Sparklers, check that every objective in the set is finished, that pack-restricted missions were done in the correct group state, and that the Hardcore Realm objectives were completed inside the Hardcore Realm. Watch for the weather-based steps as well, since Crackling Sky and Sparkling Sunset only appear at certain times and cannot be triggered on demand.
