**Important:** The amount of time available for the timed challenges is set and the countdown timer began as soon as the update was released. However, each of the 3 new challenge tasks in the special event is now divided into 5 stages that reward players with a prize for each stage of completion as an extra incentive and acknowledgment of progress made in the challenge.

Completion of the overall Magic Scroll event by finishing all 3 challenge tasks (the 4th is just extra) will award the Player with the Legendary Hero Medal. The new medal will go into the Player's Medals tab in the Casket Icon.

## Event Quests and Collection Items

The 36 new special event quests consist of 5 collection sequences of 6 quests each. The first 5 quests of each sequence are to find each of the 5 items belonging to one new collection added by the update. The 6th quest is to combine that collection.

Listed below are the 5 collections players must gather to complete the event's quests. *note a random artifact fixer is also awarded when a collection is combined for the first time.*

Once the special event is over, these collection items may be acquired by purchasing a special event chest from the Store.

## Event Creatures

The Legends from the Scroll are 3 new event creatures to banish: Warrior Monkey, Sly Monkey, and Nian.

Banishing the event creatures will award the new Fixers required to combine the new Event Collections. Banish 100 and collect the Jade Physalis to complete the third stage of the timed challenge. Players may continue banishing the event creatures to achieve a high score and placement on the Top 1000 Banishing Leaderboard.

## Completing the Timed Challenges

Keep in mind that the more you play the Location, the higher the Location Rank you will achieve for the Location, and the more access passes will be required for each play of that Location.

As a guide, in order to reach Virtuoso Rank on the Moon Court Location, and win the new Avatars, you will need to play the Location approximately **150 times**, which will require approximately **3,285** Scarlet Lantern Access Passes!
