Force of Desert

**Force of Desert** is one of the Four-Seasons Themed events which lasts seven days, preceeded by Force of Tides and followed by Force of Life. During the event, rulers can perform common activities for a chance to receive Small Sandstone, and complete daily tasks to earn additional Fragments and resources. Defeating wild creatures during the event rewards rulers with Insect Remains which may contain bait to lure a Snake, which can then be rallied for additional Fragments and resources. Fragments can turned in for the event's ultimate rewards: anthill skins and ornaments, large amounts of resources, eggs, and diamonds.

## Gathering Sand

During the event, any time a ruler completes a qualifying action they have a chance to receive a Small Sandstone, up to 80 times per day. These actions are:

* Wild Hunting - defeat any non-player creature, whether rallied or not
* Gather resources - gathering from resource nodes
* Use diamonds - each use, no matter how big or small
* Use speedups - each use, no matter how big or small. Using the *one-tap speedup* counts as one use.

## Arid Land

Over the first five days of the event, three additional sets of tasks will open that can be completed at any time until the end of the event, providing a total of 80 tasks. Five progression rewards can also be claimed as a certain total number of tasks is completed. All rewards, except for Small Sandstone, vary in both value (ie **150.0K** meat) and quantity (ie 150.0K meat **x 3**) based on the Queen's level ***at the time the event begins***.

## Toxic Hunter

Throughout the course of the event rulers can defeat 20 Wild Creatures per day to collect Insect Remains. The remains can be opened for a chance to receive Earthworm Bait, which can be used to lure a Snake. The Snake can then be rallied to receive Small Sandstone. Snakes will always be level 1, have 100,000 power, and cost 20 stamina to rally. The first Snake defeated each day will reward the ruler with extra rewards; subsequent Snakes will only give basic kill rewards. Only the first 10 Snakes defeated each day will yield rewards. Any Earthworm Bait remaining in a ruler's inventory at the end of the event will become **Expired Earthworm Bait** which can be redeemed for 10 Diamonds each.

## Transport Sandstones

The ultimate objective throughout this event is to collect Small Sandstone to turn in. Turning in the stones earns 100XP towards leveling up the event rewards, with a chance to "crit" for 2x, 3x or even 5x points. The chance for a crit does not depend on the purchase of Premium Rewards nor on how long the Transport button is held down; a single tap can yield a 5x crit. The odds of receiving a crit are not yet known. There are two tiers of rewards, Normal and Premium, which can be earned simultaneously if the ruler chooses to unlock the Premium Rewards for USD $19.99. The rewards appear to be the same for all Queen levels. Any Small Sandstone remaining in a ruler's inventory at the end of the event will become **Expired Small Sandstone** which can be redeemed for 1000 Meat each.

Purchasing this package is the only way for a ruler to complete the 20th level of *Transport Sandstone* if they missed playing a day or two, but a ruler who logs in daily and completes all available Sandstone-yielding activities would have no reason to purchase this package.
