## Event Quests and Collection Items

The 30 new special event quests are marked with a special decorative border and 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.*

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

## Event Creatures

The Old Fairy Tales are the event creatures to banish: the Misty Pixie, Sly Tail, and Forest Maiden.

The Misty PixieThe Sly TailThe Forest Maiden
Banishing the Event Creatures will award the new Fixers required to combine the new Event Collections. Banish 100 and collect the Aromatic Collections to complete the third stage of the Timed Challenge and enter into the top 100 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:

 Colored Crystal      | 36
 Stone Sphere      | 18
 Frozen Flowering      | 10

Although obtaining these Fixers sounds complicated, they can all be obtained in exactly the same way. **In the end, 58 Mystical Boxes are needed to complete the event quests.**

To banish the event creatures, you must first play the new Hidden Object Location Perfumery until you win some Mystical Box. You then use these Mystical Box to banish the new ' Misty Pixie' event creature, collecting the Bright Compact and Colored Crystal Fixers as you well as the Enchanted Shield needed to banish the next event creature 'Sly Tail'. Use the Enchanted Shield to banish the 'Sly Tail', collecting the Stone Sphere Fixers and also the Flame Cup needed to banish the 'Forest Maiden' in order to get the Frozen Flowering Fixers. Thus, as you play Perfumery in order to complete the 30 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 also awards the Aromatic Collections 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 Mysterious Scent 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 Delicate Trail Chest. The chest will cost 5 rubies and contain 1 random Collection Item and 1 random Fixer from the Mysterious Scent special event.

## 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.
