Event Tips

## Summary

Events can be very intimidating as some of the event maps are very large and have a lot of items scattered all over them. The following tips have been provided by many players who have learned some of the secrets to successfully completing them.

### 1) Stay calm!

* If you need help try posting a message in the Facebook Group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/580844986204486.
* Refer to the Online Spreadsheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qROlep3oTGr\_uayKggmLzarHDEMOYSq7ER6JRTqxNSQ/edit?fbclid=IwAR0VSHu0LcbWFhslHEKAWwcETuAkvxlosbBhUDeJGtL70cc07xryk6j6snI#gid=828411425. When new events begin this is the tool to check out as it is the first one updated, the event map, chains and keys are created as soon as possible. The Wiki is usually updated a day later.
* Refer to the Events section in the Wiki (in the top navigation bar - look up).

### 2) Online Spreadsheet

* Find a way to get access to the Online Spreadsheet. If you have a mobile device such as an iPhone it may work better and faster for you.
* Highly recommended that you get the Google Sheets app from your app store. This will help to speed up the images when opening the spreadsheet. It will also save all changes made in real time.
* Be patient when opening it, there are a lot of images in it which may cause the sheet to open slowly while they each are loaded.
* Refer to the spreadsheet page for a new event even if it is incomplete as it can still give some helpful information and will be updated often in the early stages of a new event.
* Bookmark the link to make accessing it easier.

### 3) Strategy

* Keep in mind that while this is a merge game it is also a puzzle game and strategy is needed to be successful.
* Always check out each item to see what it does.
	+ Is it harvestable? If yes, determine what it gives.
	+ Is it mergeable? If yes, determine what it gives.
	+ Is it better to harvest or to merge?
	+ Compare similar items to each other. Which method offers more of an object or a better object?

### 4) Organization

* Once you have some land cleared, carefully group similar objects together in different areas of the event map.
* Work on them bit by bit. Separating them allows harvested items of specific chains to be in one area making it easier to see what you have and to merge them when ready instead of having to search all over the map for the items.
* This allows you to gauge whether you have enough of each level to upgrade to the required levels.

### 5) <EVENT> Chains

* There is always a 6 level <Event> chain which can be harvested for event point chain items levels 1 and 2. These are often used to unlock some Mystic Cloud Keys.
* There is always a 10 level <Event> chain which provides points. This chain can be merged up to it's higher levels and a level 9 is usually required to complete one of the Event Quests. Each level of the chain can be tapped to gain points towards the Points Quests. It is better to merge them up instead of using lower levels for this. The Points Rewards can be achieved by tapping out (one level 10 item) or (two level 9 items) or (one level 9 + 2 level 8 items). These are often used to unlock some Mystic Cloud Keys.

### 6) <PUZZLE> Chains

* There can be 1 - 3 Puzzle chains found in an Event. These are used primarily to unlock some Mystic Cloud Keys and regularly are also found under these once they have been unlocked.
* All of the (Puzzle) type of chains should be set aside in a cleared area of the Event map and not be merged at all until ***ALL*** of the event map land has been healed.
* Even after using one of the items to unlock a Mystic Cloud Key ***set it aside again*** until you are 100% confident that the only way to unlock the next key for that chain requires a new merge.
* There is not an excess of the puzzle chain items on the event map so merging them too quickly quite often finds players short at the end which may cause the event to not be able to be completed unless the player has enough Golden Leaves to purchase them in the Event Shop.

### 6) Other Objects

* There are usually a variety of **harvestable but not mergeable objects** or **mergeable but not harvestable objects** and even **harvestable/mergeable objects** scattered around the event map.
* Take the time to investigate each of these. Do not base your information totally on the information given when you tap on the item.
* Harvest from them and do one or two 5-merges with them to determine which gives the better outcome.
* Do not merge away the mergeables to make space early in the event, doing this could make you short of needed items to complete the event

### 7) Repeating Objects

* If you see items that keep appearing such as Stones or Fruit Trees then there is a good chance that they will feature as Mystic Cloud Keys .. and usually up to the high levels of their chains.
* If the fruit trees are there then usually their fruit is often used as Mystic Cloud Keys.

### 8) Fruit Tree Seeds

* Do not merge Fruit Tree Seeds (or any types of seeds) EVER. Always allow them to become Fruit Tree Saplings in their own time as you will get far more this way.

### 9) Shadow Mystic Keys

* If you are unsure which items unlock the Mystic Cloud Keys you see in the event map, try to find a match to the shadow image by very carefully clicking on an item to see if there is any information in the chain details or refer to the Wiki Events - Event Details page or the Online Spreadsheet for the information.

### 10) Merging

* Always plan on using 5-merges as using 3-merges may cause you to run short on the items needed to make a specific level item for the Event Quests or Mystic Cloud Keys. Patience wins the day.

### 11) Rukh Orbs

* Focus on creating Rukh Orb (Mythic) - level 9 early in the event to prepare for healing the land before worrying too much about the Mystic Cloud Keys.
* Do not set off too many of the orbs at one time as it may heal land containing harvestable items which are needed for Event Quests, and your elves may harvest those away before you get to the quest.

### 12) Reminder

* EVENT and PUZZLE chains are regularly used as Mystic Cloud Keys. Again, **do not merge these chains up too fast**. Save them until you know how many you have and where they are needed.

GOOD LUCK
