#Special Notes

  • WARNING! Daylight Savings Time begins Sunday for most of the US and many other countries, with much of Europe following in two weeks.
  • Overheating: There’s been an increase in reports of device overheating caused by processor overload; if this happens, stop playing until your device has cooled down.
  • Saving: Make sure to save your progress by exiting to the main World Map screen after collecting your prize items; closing the game directly from camp or the event screen may cause loss of items.
    • To reduce the risk of a crash, don’t pop the loot orbs with your prizes when they first appear in camp; instead exit to the World Map screen to make sure they’re fully saved, then re-enter camp to release your rewards.
  • Cloud Save: There are still serious issues going on with Cloud Save, and game developers do not recommend using it at all until further notice.

#Event FAQs

  • NOTE: Caves must be tapped to spawn a Zomblin; only one event Zomblin lives in each cave.
  • The Event Shop and Capsules appear after you’ve healed 30-70 tiles; after that a free Bronze Capsule can be collected every 3 hours.
  • It takes 5x or 6x level 9 Life Orb of the Heavens to clear all the 5k+ land, depending on how much you heal by merging items off dead land.
  • 29,950 points are required to collect all the main prize items; this equals roughly 1x level 9 points item plus 2x level 8 points items.
  • Key items can all be made via 3-merges, if the item is not already in its final form.
  • The Gold Capsule, Tanzanite Nest, and Fallen Star are on tiles requiring 50k energy to heal, with locations shown on Slide 1.
  • Infinite Harvestables:
    • There are 9x level 1, 3x level 2, 1x level 3, 2x level 4, and 2x level 5 Japanese Shrines on the map, with locations shown on Slide 4.
    • You can delete 1x level 1 and 1x level 2 and still make a level 6 if you 5-merge the lower levels.
    • Note: A level 6 Japanese Shrine is used as a key, but there is no dead land behind it; there is no need to keep any of the Infinite Harvestables other than harvesting points.
  • Consumable Harvestables:
    • Each 1x2 Guardian can be harvested 25 times; 75 total harvests are needed to complete Quest 1.3.
    • Each harvest of the big 2x2 Ancient Statue at the back of the map yields a 10% chance of spawning an extra Guardian.
    • Once all available Guardian and the Ancient Statue are gone, there is no way to get more.
  • Only 2 dragons at a time will harvest when left on their own; having more than two will drastically slow down idle play. If you want extra dragons for active play, the Prism Flower method is a good option.
  • More event strategy advice can be found in threads here, here, here and in the Community FAQ.

#Event Troubleshooting

If the event is not showing up or glitches are affecting your play:

  • Try restarting your device.
  • Try restarting your wifi router (if you have access).
  • Try switching to a different internet source.
  • If you’re suddenly experiencing multiple issues, close the game and try again after an hour or two.

If nothing helps, contact Gram Games Support through the in-game link or the official website for help figuring out what’s wrong. Support cannot add, change, or reset anything inside a player’s event level, but they may be able to offer compensation in some circumstances and they are always happy to pass reported problems or suggestions on to the programmers.
