### Material Boost

If there were ads to watch in the system, the ads button would appear. When activated, the material boost gave you double the amount of Event material on non-event quests.

The purchase of microtransaction heroes during this event replaced the material boost from advertisements. Buying one hero would give you double the materials from non-event quests, while buying two would give you triple the materials. This version of the boost was permanent for the duration of the event itself.

### Event Badges

#### Tasks

In-game, the Coconut Drink could be clicked on at the bottom left corner of the screen to access Event Badges.

 Lorekeeper [I, II]

**Note:** Recruiter required actual money to be paid, though it made sense considering the final reward of a 14-day VIP ticket needed a $10 purchase to be useful.

**Note 2:** The badge outfit rewards [for 5 badges and 7 badges] counted for Artisan if you had no other variations of that type.

#### Captain Gear

There were new customizations for your rebel captain available during this event:

 Flamingo Floatie
 Terrarium Staff
 Raccoon Fur
 Summer Winking Face
 Total to buy every variation:
 Galaxy Fairy

### Microtransactions

There were three limited time offers for sale during this event. Special heroes, as well as alchemy materials: Coconut Juices, Starfish and Ice Cream Pops, and an Event Pack were available for direct cash purchase during this event.

### Event Box

**Buy the Event Box and get a Random Reward!**

At the start of the event, each player received one free purchase of the Event Box. After that it could be purchased every 2 days for 50,000  and for 60  in between. If the player had  Event Box tickets, they could be used to buy the Event Box by enabling "Use Tickets" next to the buying option.

The prize pool, consisting of 9 different, randomly chosen avatar items, heroes, hero outfits and materials, refreshed automatically every day at midnight (00:00) local time and could be manually refreshed with a  Refresh Ticket or a successively rising number of gems, starting at 5.

### Event Pass

The Event Pass awarded prizes as players collected event materials; additional rewards were available to players who purchased the Gold Pass for 450 gems. Materials requirements increased as players advanced through ten stages and acted only as criteria, not costs; that is, no materials were taken from inventory as prizes are claimed. The Event Pass window could be found by tapping the Coconut Drink icon in the bottom left of the guild hall screen and then opening the third tab on the right.

#### **Requirements and Rewards**

Rewards included two new kinds of tickets, one that grants a free opening of the Event Box (pink with gold star), and another that could be used to refresh the prize pool of the Event Box (blue with circular arrow). These tickets do not expire and any still held at the end of the event will be carried over into the next. The Gold Pass could be purchased at any time to receive rewards retroactively from stages already cleared.
