So when the event first dropped, I checked the url and it looked like this:
https://www1.flightrising.com/effort/1
I had wondered if the 1 at the end meant this was the first of possibly several events, but I thought it might also just be the page for the first day of the dig.
BUT, if you click back to a previous day of the dig, it looks like this:
https://www1.flightrising.com/effort/1/2
With the second number corresponding to the day of the dig. Which means the /1/ probably refers to the first collaborative event on the site. And THAT means we're probably getting more like this in the future! If you ask me, a whole new kind of event is anniversary-worthy on its own, though I still hope we get something cool at the end.
By the way, I also tried jumping the date forward:
https://www1.flightrising.com/effort/1/4
And got... redirected to the home page! Good catch, staff! (and just as well - I'd rather be surprised by what's to come.)
How would you guys like to see this collaborative event mechanic used in the future?

Teamwork is good, I'll throw in resources into events like this any day, should more happen in the future. I love the lore discussions happening on-site which this event prompted. I'd love to see more events like this expanding or being otherwise based around lore.

i don't have any ideas per se but i would love to see more done with the player base contributing their specific abilities to the event! like, people who LIKE grinding can tackle more difficult-to-obtain mats while more casual players perhaps could handle another kind of task? things that play to specific playstyles!

I have a low key suspicion that this event will be staff's way of introducing a limited ancient breed that we can only acquire through this event, similar to nocturnes with NoTN.

Yeah, this has actually got me really into FR again.
Hopefully enough of these happen to keep me interested long enough to finish saving for a Light Sprite

And elemental festivals too? I've got a baby theory that some of the mechanics around Dustcarve and the item collection will be built into the new festival year. We'll see at the end of the month with Brightshine though.

Nest Rentals! I offer Fire nests
here at 2kt a pair, no lunch boxes needed. Warning that I am a 12-hr shift night worker and might miss a day on incubation here and there. :(
Feel free to ping me anywhere! I try to subscribe to threads I create, but pings are always cool.
We could legit get real Neopets-style plots like this, so yeah! If resources and schedule allow, they could plan to use a "donate item" game like this, then combine it with some puzzles or other type of quest, and make something real neat in the future.
Though, considering this is the followup to a 3-year-old event (BOTE), we'd have to see, it couldn't interfere too much with their ever growing art backlog.

My god, I would love if the dig was a festival mechanic too! I really hope you’re correct about this!
Regardless, I doubt the Dustcave Dig is a one time event (although I find it odd it doesn’t have its own icon in the Play page). It would be a waste to code all of this to only use once.

that's one of the things that makes me really excited about this! even if the end result is underwhelming (i.e. not a new breed) it's a very cool feature that i'd love to see more in gameplay (it's definitely encouraging me to come back and do more stuff on FR even tho i'm too busy to play it as regularly as i used too lol)
I don't know that they'll make it a festival mechanic but this kind of feels closer than anything we have currently to the long-awaited specter of Adventure Mode so i'm very excited
