## Event Creatures

The Forest Fraternity are the new Event Creatures to banish: Forest Rascal, Long-Tailed Trader, and Big-Eared Aristocrat.

Banishing the Event Creatures will award the new Fixers required to combine the new Event Collections. Banish 100 and collect the Mysterious Watch to complete the third stage of the Timed Challenge and enter into the top 1000 for Banishing Leaderboard. Players may continue banishing the event creatures to achieve a high score and placement on the Leaderboard.

The new Fixers required to combine the new Event Collections are:

 Ring of Time      | 36
 Skillful Pendant      | 18
 Magic Elixir      | 10

Although obtaining these Fixers sounds complicated, they can all be obtained in exactly the same way. **In the end, 52 Enchanted Bells are needed to complete the event quests.**

To banish the event creatures, you must first play the new Hidden Object Location Pottery Studio until you win some Enchanted Bell. You then use these Enchanted Bells to banish the new ' Forest Rascal' event creature, collecting the Heartfelt Letter and Ring of Time Fixers as you well as the Mysterious Lantern needed to banish the next event creature 'Long-Tailed Trader'. Use the Mysterious Lantern to banish 'Long-Tailed Trader', collecting the Skillful Pendant Fixer and also the Magic Horn needed to banish 'Big-Eared Aristocrat' in order to get the Magic Elixir Fixer. Thus, as you play Pottery Studio in order to complete the 36 Special Quests and advance towards Virtuoso level, you will naturally collect all that you need to create the fixers required to combine the new event collections. Each banishment of creatures also awards the Mysterious Watch needed to complete the third part of the event challenge itself.

These creatures will disappear as soon as the event is over, either by the completion of the Handcrafted Miracle challenge or by time running out for the event.

**Once the Event ends, these Fixers will no longer be winnable**. However, the Fixers may be obtained from the Store by purchasing a TBA Chests. The chest will cost 5 rubies and contain 1 random Collection Item and 1 random Fixer from the Handcrafted Miracle Event.
