Rewards
This event had three medals which were able to be earned by players: two as a reward for completion of the tour, and one for a donation to a charity drive benefiting the ALS Association. Clearing six intermediate or expert difficulty missions earned the player the Verdant Vexatious Vivianite of Vanity medal, and clearing eight advanced or expert difficulty missions earned the player the Volcanic Vesuvianite of Valor medal.
In addition, players are able to earn the Virtual Vascular Vitality medal by donating at least 5 USD through item or monetary donations. The charity drive is set to close on June 30, 2023.
Content creators whose missions were accepted for use in the event were awarded the Auspicious Automaton Assembler's Accolade medal.
The Verdant Vexatious Vivianite of Vanity and Volcanic Vesuvianite of Valor player medals reuse the models for the Tempered Tourmaline and Chaotic Crystal, respectively, returning from Operation Madness vs Machines.

The medals are not yet in the game and cannot be distributed until they are added.
