Seasons

Just as in real life, Magoia has four seasons, which correspond generally to the weather in the northern hemisphere. While all seasons have their own flavor, the quests and rewards are often similar.

Each season ends on the day of the solstice or equinox and a new season begins 24 hours later, starting at 3PM US Central Time. This often coincides with the season's Ruby Moon event, and seasonal clothing items generally show up in the hut once the season has been going for a few days. This is the deadline for earning any seasonal points to exchange for prizes, and there is a countdown at the top of the season's menu to let you know how much time you have left.

The four seasons are (of course)

* Winter
* Spring
* Summer
* Autumn

## How Seasons Work

Everyone gets the same possible rewards each season, but the quests scale based on the player's level, number of friends, number of garden plots, etc.

Click the question mark icon next to "Buy Golden Ticket" to open the tutorial.

There are a number of fabulous prizes available. Just complete the quests to earn seasonal essence to build up your prize bar.

There are three kinds of quests, daily, weekly, and monthly. They reset at midnight US Central time so you can complete even more quests. When you're first starting out, or if you've joined the game in the middle of a season, the quests may reset faster so that you can still earn prizes.

Daily quests can usually be completed withoin a few hours. They are reset at midnight every day (US Central time)Weekly quests often take several days to complete, even for active players. They reset at midnight one week from the season's startDepending on your level, you may have quests that ask for you to complete harder missionsMonthly quests are sometimes dependent on other events, such as tree healing events or full moon events. They usually take several weeks to complete
## Quests

You'll note there is a timer next to each quest banner. This is not a countdown; if you are unable to complete a daily quest within a day, you still have the chance to complete it the following day. Additional quests will stack up behind it. The timer is there to let you know that if you have completed all of one kind of quest, more quests will not come until the specified date/time. There is no deadline to complete each quest; each will stick around until you either complete it or skip it. To skip a quest, click the red X in the top right corner.

If you complete a quest and do not claim the seasonal essence, the next time new tasks arrive, you'll automatically be credited the SE. You do not have to be there in person to claim it. You also do not have to immediately collect any prizes, as you can exit out of the seasonal menu without claiming a prize even if you've earned enough essences for it. You'll be able to come back to claim it later. In the case of not claiming seasonal energy, the seasonal icon at the top of your quest menu will continue to animate to ensure you know you can claim seasonal essence.

## Rewards

Each time you earn 200 seasonal points (Winter Essence, Spring Essence, Summer Essence, Fall Essence), you'll advance to the next prize tier. There are 45 regular prizes (although some are blanks) and 45 Golden Ticket Prizes. Some prizes can be collected immediately (moon mice, elemental essence, puzzle pieces, etc), while others are duration. Click on the item to learn more about it. You can see which long-term bonuses are currently active by clicking the "Rewards" button in the top left corner.

You can claim these prizes anytime once you've earned the necessary seasonal essence. Note that you do not have to claim a prize immediately, but you cannot claim a higher-tier prize until you've claimed an earlier one. Why wouldn't you claim a prize immediately? You may find it advantageous to set up a few things before claiming certain prizes: for example, you might wait until the Gardening Championship starts before claiming a brewery booster, or you might unlock a new garden before claiming a bonus for clearing weeds. There is no penalty for this as long as you claim all prizes before the end of the season.

Most of the rewards are self-explanatory: You can click on the prize in the main seasonal menu if you want clarification, and you can click the rewards to see which prizes you've won and how long they last. A few prizes are a bit confusing in their terminology. If you find any others that you are still unsure of, please message me (contact info on main page).

### Prize clarification

Crystals: Although this prize says you receive more crystals for water lilies, you actually get more crystals for any prize, including from raising dragons and from fulfilling quests for tribesmen. You do not receive extra crystals from selling plants at the market, however.

Removing weeds: As indicated, it costs fewer crystals to remove obstacles in any of your gardens. If you hover over the obstacle, the popup in the top left will show the original cost of clearing the field, but if you click the obstacle, the popup in the middle of your screen will show the reduced rate. Note that the reduced rate also applies to volcanic rock in your volcano garden, even though clearing these obstacles costs natural lights, not crystals. It does not reduce the natural light cost of clearing obstacles in other gardens (such as the root garden or honey garden).

## Golden Tickets

If you'd like even more prizes, you can purchase a golden ticket.

Golden tickets cost $9.99 and allow you to unlock even more fabulous prizes which you win alongside the regular seasonal prizes. You can purchase a golden ticket at any time during the season; all prizes you would have earned are immediately applied

## Golden Ticket Prizes

If you purchase the golden ticket, you'll find that some of the prizes are fantastic but more are a bit hard to understand.

Everyone in your clan receives the indicated prize--including youEach time you retrieve an item from your brewery, you'll get two of the item instead of one, at no additional cost. This is the same as the Ancestor Storm prize from the Ancestor GroveDuring the clan event, you can use moon mice to reduce the time for critters to mature. This seasonal bonus does not change how much it costs to summon mice initiallyOnce the season ends, your energy chest will go back to normal (200). If there is more than 200 energy in it at that time, the excess will be lost.This prize subtly changes the appearance of your island. There are many possible changes. See images belowThe island restoration is perhaps the least obvious prize of the season. There are nearly a dozen possible restoration possibilities which can affect various parts of your island, adding magical art. You'll receive a random upgrade from the possible restorations each time you finish the golden ticket during a season. Each time you win an island restoration, a toggle will appear in settings so that you can turn it on and off.
