The events last 72 hours, and I used to require almost all of that time to complete any event. Now, I mostly finish in under 48 hours, unless real life gets in the way. Remember, this is just a game and real life must come first. Here is a screenshot from when I finished my most recent event:

### Key Assumptions

* I am using a tablet. The only thing I use my tablet for is to play games. If you are using your phone, some of these tips will not work for you.
* I leave my tablet plugged in all night, and have a cover so that the light is covered without keeping me awake.
* The events start at 3pm in my timezone, and this usually gives me 5-6 hours to open the map up for the night.

### Event Tips

* Set up your device so that when it is plugged in it never goes to sleep (Android or iOS).
* Note where the L2 and L3 harvesters are located. These are tiles you will want to avoid uncovering until you are done harvesting Blessing Orbs.
* You need to harvest enough True Blessing Orbs to uncover most of the map. Depending how many tiles you uncover in opening the map, this may be as few as two L9 orbs or as many as six. Rarely do I need more than four.
* In the first night, you want to get to the point where your opening two creatures are only harvesting Young Blessing Orbs. This can be done by 5-merging up to at least one Blessed Tree. Depending on the event, some have more available Blessed Sprouts than others. In these cases, I try to get to one Ruby Blessed Tree.
* Do not get over zealous and merge to a Hearty Blessed Tree. Sometimes your creatures will harvest Blessed Blooms. This will then result in them harvesting a lot of Minor Blessings. This will slow you down more than it is worth, especially if your device is running while you sleep.
* If you are going to be awake and active anytime you are playing, then, if possible, merge to a Hearty Blessed Tree and remove all of the lesser blooms when they appear. This is very useful if your device will not be running unattended.
* If you get up during the night, quickly merge the orbs. You will end up with less high level orbs than if you 5-merge them, but it wrecks your sleep if you try that.
* During your awake times, always 5-merge your orbs to maximize the results.
* Do not rely on your orbs alone. Once tiles get to the 500 or 5,000 blessing points, try to merge items free. I have uncovered large portions of the map doing this, saving me lots of time harvesting orbs.
* By bed time on Saturday, you should have harvested the required True Blessing Orbs and uncovered most of the map to complete the 3.3 quest. At this point, you should sell all of your blessed trees and leave the creatures to mine as many Harvesters as you have uncovered.
* By bed time on Saturday, you should have completed quest 1.2 by this time. This means it is time to level up your L1-L3 harvesters to the required L4 harvester - giving you three of them for quest 1.3.
* By bed time on Saturday, you should open all chests and Event Stars. This will give your creatures (you should have 4-8 by now) something to harvest other than your harvesters or other special items. This keeps them busier overnight.
* When you uncover Dead Plants you should force your available Creatures to harvest them. If you leave them on their own, they will waste time wandering around the map. Forcing them enables you to clean up that mess faster, allowing the Creatures to get back to harvesting your target items.
* By bed time on Sunday, you should be well along on harvesting the events items and merging up to five L9 event items.
* By morning, I spend some time 5-merging the items and the small chests, which gets me to the required five L9 event items.

When life gets in the way, your timing will vary from above.
