#Event FAQs

  • 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.
  • Caves must be tapped to spawn a Zomblin; only one event Zomblin lives in each cave, and it turns into Stinky Cheese when killed.
  • 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 Zodiac Sources on the map, with locations shown on Slide 4.
    • NOTE: An L6 Heavenly Archway is used as a key in this event, but there is no dead land or required item behind it so it can safely be skipped; Infinite Harvestables in general can be deleted unless you want to keep a back-up for earning points.
  • Consumable Harvestables:
    • Each 1x2 Master Astrologist's Toolkit can be harvested 25 times; 75 total harvests are needed to complete Quest 1.3.
    • Each harvest of the big 2x2 Grand Master Astrologist's Toolkit at the back of the map yields a 10% chance of spawning an extra Master Astrologist's Toolkit.
    • Once all available Master Astrologist's Toolkit and the Grand Master Astrologist's Toolkit 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 (active vs passive or idle play, etc) 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 hard closing and then relaunching your game.
  • If your device is running hot, stop playing and allow it to cool down.
  • Try rebooting your device (ie, turn it completely off, then back on and allow it to fully boot up before relaunching the game).
  • Try rebooting your wifi router (if you have access).
  • Try switching to a completely different internet source.
  • If you’re suddenly experiencing multiple issues like lagging or error messages, close the game and try again after an hour or two; events are server-based, and sometimes activity on that end can cause temporary problems.
  • If nothing here helps, contact Gram Games Support through the in-game link or the official website for help figuring out what’s wrong.

#General Technical Warnings:

  • Cloud Save is still unreliable: according to the developer, it is not safe to be used and should be left turned off.
  • Saving your Progress: Make sure you travel to the World Map screen before closing your game to save your progress; saving immediately after earning or making high-value items is also recommended.
