Megathread: Nightmare Valley Event, June 6-9

Megathread

Brought to us by the awesome spooks of the Dragonia Den Guild!

This event will run from Tuesday, June 6 until 19:00 GMT on Friday, June 9; to participate you will need version 10.3.0 or later, at least 100 dragon power, and a high quality, stable internet connection.

Please keep event questions and discussions in this thread; good luck and happy merging!

 

#Special Notes

  • UPDATE: Some of the event-based Star Quest tasks are do not list the item they target; so far all have required items from the Haunted House chain (the Infinite Harvestables).
    • Figuring out the needed level of HH is trial and error; like in past events, it’s possible to get a quest that requires a lower-level item after merging up a higher one — spending gems or waiting until the next event is your only option there.
    • Skipping tasks has given inconsistent results; paying gems may not get a better option — just ignoring event quests until next weekend might be the safest option.
  • The Life Flower Sprout key is on a healed, dark grey-colored tile, not dead land.
  • Deleting a Mushroom can block players from finishing the Event Quests, since there are no extras in the store.
  • The Wishing Star is located near the top of the map, a few tiles below and to the left of the 2x2 Great Pumpkin.
  • Two of the Consumable Harvestables yield lower level point items than usual; the Large Pumpkins give L2 Chocolate Truffles, and the Medium Pumpkins give L1 Candy Eyeballs.
    • Players may need to harvest from the Haunted Houses to earn enough points to complete the event.

#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 Haunted Houses on the map, with locations shown on Slide 4.
    • As always, you can delete 1x level 1 and 1x level 2 of your Infinite Harvestables and still make a level 6, if you 5-merge the remaining lower level items.
    • WARNING: An L6 Haunted Manor is used as a key in this event, but there is no dead land or required items behind it so it can safely be skipped; however, check the warning in the Special Notes section before deleting all Infinite Harvestables.
  • Consumable Harvestables:
    • Each 1x2 Large Pumpkin can be harvested 25 times; 75 total harvests are needed to complete Quest 1.3.
    • Each harvest of the big 2x2 Great Pumpkin at the back of the map yields a 10% chance of spawning an extra Large Pumpkin.
    • Once all available Large Pumpkins and the Great Pumpkin 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:

  • Check your version meets the requirements.
  • 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.
