## How To Access the Elf Exploration feature

On the arrival of the objects gained in the event and sent home by The Queen's Magic, once tapped out of their event loot orb, the first Bad Baobab Sapling received could be tapped to unlock the new Elf Exploration Island found on the right side of the map below the upper and lower map sections. The remaining Bad Baobab Saplings became Ancient Elf Eggs.

## Elf Exploration Chains

The objects gained from the Explore Chests (B612) in the event, when tapped out of their event loot orbs in the Home map revealed the four new Elf Exploration chains: Gem Raw Stone; Lemur and Baobab; Single Flower and Volcanic Animals. "This item is helpful for Elf Exploration" is the description seen when tapping on any of these objects. These are requested for many of the Elf Exploration Quests found on Elf Exploration Area Quests - Island 1 and Elf Exploration Area Quests - Island 2.

## Elf Exploration Island 1

Once the island has appeared there will be new objects visible on it while the rest of the island is locked under mystic cloud keys. All of these objects are non-movable. To unlock the mystic cloud keys Elf Exploration Quests need to be completed through the Lamb Eating breakfast. All of the other non-movable objects found on the island also offer Elf Exploration Area Quests.

Upon completing the quests some rewards will be randomly received.

* Golden Leaves
* Monolayer Flower (White)
* Stagnant water
* Extinct Volcano

The non-movable objects which offer elf exploration area quests on Elf Exploration Island 1 are: Lamb Eating breakfast; Budding Baobab Trees; Baobab Fruit; Stagnant Water; Beautiful Feather; Upupa Epops; Porcupine; Suricata Suricatta; Lemur, Large Bee; Baobab Flower; Mysterious Handprint; Budding Roses and Small Fragrance Pig. Tap them to open the information box with the details of the elf exploration area quest.

## Elf Exploration Island 2

This island will appear after completing all of the Elf Exploration Event Quests on Elf Exploration Island 1. One of the Small Fragrance Pigs will disappear leaving behind a Revived Volcano which is the key to unlock the island.

The non-movable objects which offer elf exploration area quests on Elf Exploration Island 2 are: Rabbit Making Breakfast; Pangolin; Huge Fossil; Carbonized Wood; Withered Silverswords; Volcano Scorpion; Emerald Vein; Volcanic thorns; Sapphire Vein; Volcanic Lizard; Topaz Vein; Obsidian Vein; Chameleon; Boston Fern; Flamingo; Volcano Rabbit; Volcanic Tortoise; and Volcanic Hot Spring. Tap them to open the information box with the details of the elf exploration area quest.

## Elf Exploration Area Quests

The information box that appears when the non-movable objects are tapped displays an image of the breed and level of the Elf required to perform the quest. While an Elf is performing the area exploration it will be unavailable for any other actions until it has completed the assigned Elf Exploration Area Quest.

If unsure of the type of breed requested, tapping on the Your Elves book icon found on the right side of the map will display icons of the different Elves. Shadowed ones are not available as they have not been created yet. Matching the icon image here with the one in the quest will give players the name of the required Elf and allow them to see which levels of this particular Elf they have.

Some of the quests may allow any breed and any level for the Elf required to perform the Elf Exploration Area Quest as well.

They will also request a specific quantity of two different objects.

There are various ways to complete the Elf Exploration Area Quests which will be available once the blue Explore Now button is tapped.

* Send the Elf into the exploration area and wait out the Exploration Time indicated below the objects requested. Note: The Exploration Time will increase as a player progresses through the areas as will the levels of the requested Elves and objects.
* If the requested objects are available on the home map select the blue button "Queen's Blessing" which will take the objects away and immediately complete the quest.
* The option to pay with game currency to immediately complete the quest. This could be with Stones, Magic Gems or Golden Leaves. Only two of the currencies will be available to do this on each quest.
* Watching video ads will reduce the exploration time in small increments as well.

Once an elf exploration area quest has been successfully completed the object that provided the quest will disappear leaving something behind. If it was a Lamb Eating breakfast, it will disappear and unlock the next section of mystic cloud keys. On Elf Exploration Island 2 the Lamb has been replaced by the Rabbit Eating Breakfast.

## Extinct Volcano

The **Extinct Volcano** is rewarded by completing Elf Exploration Area Quests which gives a random amount of them. Extinct Volcanoes need to be 3 or 5 merged together to create an Active Volcano (Eruption).

## Active Volcano (Eruption)

	+ Up to 3 piles which each give up to 20 Baobab Seeds

## NOTES

* Due to some players encountering 3D Dizziness when the Elves were summoned to Explore the Volcanoes a special 3D Dizziness Switch was added to the Explore Quests. It is an image of a camera on the lower right side of the Elf. Tapping this will toggle it on or off. When toggled on it will reduce the motion of the Elf summoned to perform the Exploration of the Volcano, lessening dizziness encountered by players who are prone to motion sickness which will make game play more comfortable for players who may have issues with the motion.

* As per the game development team the Elf Exploration feature of the game will only be available to players that played in the Story of B612 Event while it was active between August 26 - September 7 in 2022 and achieved at least one Bad Baobab Sapling.

* If someone did not participate in the event, the feature will not be available for the time being. There may be events in the future that will have the opportunity to obtain Wheat Field Elves. A level 4 is required to unlock the Bad Baobab Sapling in the Home Shop.

* If a player played in the event but was unable to obtain the Bad Baobab Sapling during it but did receive the Wheat Field Elf as an Event reward once they create a level 4 Wheat Field Elf they will be able to purchase the Bad Baobab Sapling for 1,999 golden leaves in the Home Shop.
