Seasons

This article is **incomplete**. Please help to improve it, and then remove this notice. Need to confirm dates of the first 5 seasons.

***Note: Since this page is a WIP, you can visit this Reddit thread for more information. All future Season Megathreads should also be posted in the Community Info and Index thread of Merge Dragons subreddit.***

## Summary

**Seasons** are special, limited-time Events that provide rewards such as Chests, various low to mid-level items, Dragon Eggs and Dragons and more. Certain rewards are available for free after completing the related quest, while others are only obtained after purchasing the Royal Pass. Seasons last 28 days.

To participate in a Season you need a relevant Merge Dragons app update and at least 300 Dragon Power.

The first two Seasons only had a limited release. And although starting from the 3rd Wild Hearts Season (November - December 2020) these Events could be played by a larger audience, only the 12th Sunlight Season (September - October 2021) became available to every player.

Starting from the Version 7.4.0 (29th of November 2021) some players gained access to a Beta feature where they could upgrade their Season Portal to receive better rewards. In March 2022 the feature was rolled out to everyone.

Starting from the 26th Wild Hearts Season (8th of November 2022) some players could also test new Beta features for Season, including a new point system used to earn rewards, additional bonuses like Piggy Bank or Daily Bonus Chest, two different offers for Royal Pass and more. For more details please visit this game support page. With 30th Sunlight Season (28th of February 2023) updated Season system was released game wide.

## Season Event Quests

***NOTE: Exact rewards, numbers and quest order may change from Season to Season.***

## Royal Pass

The **Royal Pass** is an optional purchase for USD14.99 (before the 16th Shadow Haze Season - 9.99, during the first three Seasons - 4.99) or your local equivalent. It can be purchased at any time during the Season and you will be able to belatedly collect rewards for quests you have already finished. Currently, the Royal Pass is the only way of receiving Season's special Dragons.

### Royal Pass Bonuses

* Royal Speed Boost Potion: +2%, up to a max of +8%
	+ Increases Dragon movement, harvest, build, and attack speeds by 2-8%
	+ Decreases Dragon wake-up time by 2-8%

* Chalice Boost Potion: +5%, up to a max of +20%
	+ Increases Chalice refill speed by 5-20%

* Resource Capacity: +20% Magic Coin and Stone Brick capacity

* Removes wait timer between quests

* Adds ability to skip quests for (initially) 120 Gems; skip cost drops with quest progression

Max boosts are achieved by completing certain Season quests. All boosts are additive and will remain in effect until the end of the Season.

**NOTE: Please be aware that the included doubling of Stone and Coin storage lasts only until the end of the Season.** There is no immediately visible countdown timer telling when the Season is about to end; the timer is only visible after tapping the Season icon. Any excess Coins or Stone in storage will be deleted if not spent before the Season ends.

## Notes and Tips

* Tapping on the Season icon once it notifies you that the current quest is complete allows you to collect your reward and move on to the next quest. This way multiple quests can be completed from within the same Level (assuming there is no waiting period between quests).

* **Season Chests** remain the same across Seasons, and Chests from the current Season can be merged with those from previous ones. Chests mostly contain low to mid-level Life Flowers, Life Orbs, Mushrooms, Water, Magic Mushrooms, Prism Flowers, Living Stones and Dragon Trees.
	+ Season Chests **do not** contain Dragon Eggs.

* Actions performed after a Level is marked complete do not count. This includes Stars hitting the map after Level goal is achieved!

* The **Season Decision Egg** provides a choice between three different types of Trophy Dragon Eggs, e.g. Owl/Deer/Super Egg, Sun/Blaze/Nature Egg, etc. If you are unhappy with your three options, you can close the decision window by tapping somewhere outside to refresh the options. The right side choice is influenced by the Eggs you already have available in your Camp. It is recommended to re-start the game multiple times until you get tier 2 Eggs of higher rarity or Super Eggs.

* Without the Royal Pass first 2 days of the Season unlock two quests each. After that each new quest will become available with the start of a new day (3rd day of Season unlocks 5th quest, 4th - 6th etc.). Therefore the last 30th quest will unlock at the start of 28th Season day, so you will have the whole day to complete it. P.S. The timer for a new game day resets at the same time as it does for Events.

* Unbubbling Stars you bubbled yourself does not count as creation, but merging Stars or unbubbling Stars received from the Daily Rewards does count.

* Merging the three Goal Stars in a Level gives credit for a fourth one. Dragon Stars do not count towards Stars earned until they are tapped out and turn into Fallen Stars. Event Quest Stars do count for "Gain or create Stars" quest.

* Each merge advances the quest counter by one; whether it is a 3-, 5-, or 27-merge, it counts as a single merge for the quest.
* For the "Merge Life Flowers" quests, only Life Flowers up to level 7 count. Life Trees (level 8 and up) will not count towards the quest.

* Some great Levels to complete "Heal Land" quests are:
	+ Open Lands has 80 Dead Land spaces and costs 1 Chalice. All three Goal Stars can be obtained without having to complete the Level. Open Lands also has many Life Flowers and Brambles: it is possible to complete about 50 merges of Life Flowers in around 7 minutes.
	+ Fear Isle 4 has 53 Dead Land spaces, costs 1 Chalice and can be done in under a minute.

* For "Merge Eggs or Dragons" quests, The Crescent (Secret Level, between Hilltop 1 and 2) is recommended.

* For "Gain or Create Stars" quests, Skull Grove can give you up to four Stars (with merging) in under a minute.
* The Healer is a multipurpose Level that costs 1 Chalice. It can be great for "Harvest Anything", "Merge Anything", "Harvest Life Flowers", "Merge Life Flowers", "Heal Land" and "Merge Eggs or Dragons" quests.
