#NOTES and UPDATES

  • UPDATE: Lots of people are getting stumped by these items:
    • Extra low level Conjurer Stones and Conjurer Shrubs will be left over on dead land; check the Conjurers and Objects section below for more info.
    • The item between the four big dragon statues is part of the Gemsteel chain; in front of that are two items from the Mystic Shrooms chain.
  • WARNING: There’s been an increase in glitch reports; to reduce the odds of getting hit:
    • Reboot your device at least once a day.
    • Stop playing if your device gets unusually hot.
    • Hard close the app and relaunch anytime you start to notice performance issues.
    • Exit to the world map screen after collecting any Ancient chest to save your progress BEFORE opening it.
    • If you have v10.0, consider updating to v10.1 which seems more stable.
    • Don’t play on an unstable internet connection.
  • Reddit went down for 5+ hours right after the event started; any posts or comments made just before or after the outage may have been lost.
    • It’s coming back up in stages, but we’ve been warned the site is still unstable and further outages could happen.
    • Good sources to check if there are any more problems are the official Reddit Status site and Down Detector.
  • Info about possible A/B groups will be posted as soon as it is available; please comment if you spot something unusual.
    • So far, there have been no reports of players with the higher points requirements; however, the recharge rate for Conjurers seems to be just as slow as last event.
  • WARNING: Dragon stamina was a big problem in February.
    • You may need to keep your screen open to the event for the resting time to register properly (reports on this have been mixed).
    • If your sleeping dragons seem not to be recharging at all, paying gems to wake one dragon has reportedly triggered the rest to start cycling properly. If this happens, it may help to document it and send a description of the problem to Game Support, with screenshots or video if you can. A device reboot might also help fix (or prevent) the issue; this game is prone to weird glitches if the game or device has been running for too long.
  • REMINDER: There are links below to Wiki pages with high-definition images for all the Objects and Conjurers in this event, if you need larger pics to identify some of the items on the map.
  • REMINDER: The event ends ten minutes early, at 18:50 GMT on Friday.

 

#EVENT FAQs

Note: For an in-depth explanation of how this type of event works, check out the Wiki’s Wild Lands Event Page

  • The event relies on active play; all land is cleared by merge-healing with dragon eggs or event items.
    • Most merges use items in the Objects chains, produced by infinite tappables called Conjurers; all of these items are shown in the image guide slides at the top of the post and in the linked listings below.
    • Loose dragon eggs, dragon statues, and Conjurer items come from Ancient Chests, earned by unlocking new sections of land.
    • WARNING: Never use more than one loose egg to trigger a merge.
    • WARNING: If you lose an egg or Ancient Chest, you may get stuck, especially in the first three areas; make sure to force a save after every unlock.
  • Locked areas of land are opened by taming dragons; dragons are tamed by eating berries (either Gold or their listed color).
    • Berries come in Berry Chests earned by completing Event Quests; Quests are fulfilled with Objects created from material tapped out of Conjurers.
    • A new Quest will always appear after an old one is completed; over time, higher level Objects will be requested.
  • WARNING: There are many places where lower-level color berries from Berry Chests are needed to heal dead land; if you feed or harvest too many of these in the first few unlock zones, you could be left unable to access necessary eggs or Conjurer items — potentially ending your event.
  • The Scissors icon on the info bar of some items allows you to pay gems to “split” it back into its lower level predecessors; the button can be safely tapped to see the price for this service.
  • There are two possible ways to bubble items in this event:
    • 1: Opening Berry Chests while the map is full will cause the chest’s contents to emerge in individual loot orbs (note that two tiles will always remain empty even after you get the message that there’s no space available; this is normal across the game).
    • 2: Interrupted Merge bubbling (see the Community FAQ for more info) can be used for any mergable item that has more than than two copies on the map.
  • Your event is over when you are out of eggs or statues to merge and have tamed all your dragons.
    • NOTE: Healing all the land is not possible without purchasing extra Conjurer items from the event store.
  • This event does not have a traditional reward structure; your prizes will be the dragons you tame over the course of the event.
    • Reward dragons will appear in a loot orb in your camp within a few hours of the end of the event on Friday; in rare cases it’s taken longer, so please allow 24 hours before filing a ticket with support.
  • WARNING: To make sure your progress and items have been saved, exit to the World Map screen before leaving the game, and after receiving Ancient Chests and collecting your prizes.

 

DRAGONS and BERRIES

Links go to the item’s Wiki page unless otherwise noted

  • There are 36 dragons that can be created in this event; the dragons you have fully tamed will be transferred to your camp at the close of the event on Friday.
    • Most dragons can be hatched by merging loose eggs from Ancient Chests with eggs on dead land, and the rest are released by merging Dragon Statues.
    • There are some locations where egg or statue 5-merges are required.
    • Never use more than one loose egg to trigger a merge.
    • If you lose an egg or Ancient Chest, you may not be able to unlock additional areas of the map.
  • Dragons are tamed by eating WildBerries that come in Berry Chests; Berry Chests are earned by completing Event Quests.
    • Red, Green, and Blue berries are only consumed by certain breeds. (Slide 6 in the image guide)
    • NOTE: Gold berries can be eaten by any wild dragon; to make Gold berries, harvest any other color with a tamed dragon. (Slide 5 in the image guide)
    • All berries are worth the same amount of taming points (1/4/15); if a dragon eats a berry worth more points than it needs, the extra points are wasted.
  • Specific dragons can be summoned to eat a berry via its ‘Lure’ button (now in the icon at the lower right of the screen); this is safer than dragging them over which can trigger accidental 3-merges.
  • To tame your dragons, the Crimson needs 1 point of taming power, other level 1 dragons need 30 points (2x L3 berries), level 2s need 90 (6x L3 berries), and level 4s need 150 (10x L3 berries).
    • To tame all dragons, you will need 98x level 3 berries, plus a single level 1.
    • If you feed lower-level berries, your dragons may need to rest before they can eat enough.
  • Only one dragon can rest at a time, and in the order they entered the home; if you have too many tamed dragons taking up the ‘bed’, it can take a very long time for your wild dragons to recharge enough to eat more berries.
    • If a wild dragon is awake but reluctant to leave the house, you may need to force it out by tapping the house, then quickly grabbing your target before it can duck back inside.
  • Tamed dragons can be 5-merged using the Dragon Book (to avoid the risk if accidental 3-merges); leveled-up dragons do not need to be re-tamed.
  • Featured Dragon breeds
    • Crimson — 1x level 1 whelp
    • Sea — 10x level 1, 1x level 2 (merges up to 2x level 3)
    • Mycelial — 10x level 1, 1x level 2 (merges up to 2x level 3)
    • Gluttonous — 10x level 1, 1x level 2, 2x level 4 (merges up to 2x level 3 and 2x level 4)

 

CONJURERS and OBJECTS

Links go to the item’s Wiki page unless otherwise noted

  • There are three Conjurer chains; level 3+ items from each can be tapped to produce items in two specific Object chains.
    • Conjurer items will shrink as they are tapped until they are depleted, then will recharge and regrow to their original size after a minute of rest.
    • Level 3 Conjurers can be tapped for level 1 Objects; level 4 Conjurers yield a mix of level 1 and 2 Objects.
    • Conjurer items arrive in the first few Ancient Chests (earned by taming enough dragons to unlock new land) and in some Berry Chests in the first two unlock zones.
    • Conjurer items can be merged off dead land in a few locations in the first few unlock areas.
    • There WILL be extra items from the Conjurer Stone and Conjurer Shrubs chains left on dead land after you make your required tappables. These leftovers do not block any important items and have no effect on your ability to finish the event; the only way to clear these would be to buy extra merging material from the store with gems.
  • Conjurer Fountains (aka Ruined Fountains)
    • Can be tapped for Ancient Heirlooms and Ancient Ornaments
    • Images can be found on Slide 2 of the image guide, or by clicking the links to each chain’s wiki page.
    • This is the only Conjurer chain that gives L1 material in Berry Chests, and then only in the first two unlock zones.
  • Conjurer Shrubs (aka Mystic Trees) —
  • Conjurer Stone (aka Lightcrystal Veins)
    • Can be tapped for Dragon Essence and Gemsteel
    • Images can be found on Slide 4 of the image guide, or by clicking the links to each chain’s wiki page.
    • High-level items from these two chains are frequently requested in the last stage of an event — you may want to plan accordingly.

#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 nothing helps, contact Gram Games Support through the in-game link or the official website for help figuring out what’s wrong.
    • Please read through the guide info and comments before contacting Support.
    • Support staff cannot add items or otherwise change things inside an individual player’s event level; all they can do is log errors to pass up to programmers to fix, and give compensation where they’re allowed in cases where something happens due to a fault in the game.
  • NOTE: There are still serious issues going on with the Cloud Save function, and game developers recommend against its use at this time.

^(Updating as needed throughout the event)
