## Event Quests and Collection Items

The 30 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.

Banishing requirements follow the previous established pattern for banishing event creatures. Banishing them will award the new fixers required to combine the new collections. These creatures will disappear as soon as the event is over, either by the completion of the Birds challenge or by time running out.
