## End of Event To-Do-List

* **USE** all the stars you have to open your gift boxes. When the event ends, gift boxes are unusable and when the new event arrives, new gift boxes and stars become available.

* **VISIT** the Curiosity Shop in front of City Hall and spend your Event Tokens, if you wish, by exchanging them for various prize items. If you prefer, you may save them and they will convert to new event entry items (1 event entry item per 10 Tokens, up to a maximum of 100 event entry items for 1,000 Event Tokens) at the start of the next event.
* FIGHT OR EXCHANGE all your Weapons (Flame Blades) with the event monster: Ice Golem, as they may not convert to new event weapons with the next update and will be lost.

* **PLAY** the bonus/event mini-games: Magical Items and Excavations if you wish, because the entry items do not carry over.

* **ASSEMBLE** your Event Collections if able to do so as the rewards change post-event.

* **ALL** event entry items will be converted into Skeleton Keys (1 Skeleton Key per entry item) at the start of the next event.

*Note: If you have more than 75 Tokens at the end of the event, you will be taken to the Curiosity Shop by Juliette shortly after the event closes, but you will be able to exit without spending your Tokens.*
