Megathread

Brought to us by the hardy party crew of the Dragonia Den Guild!

This event will run from Friday, June 9 until 19:00 GMT on Monday, June 12; 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 any event-specific questions in this thread; good luck and happy merging!

 

#Special Notes

  • Please remember Rule 1: Be Nice, and keep the focus here on playing the event; there are other subreddits if you want to talk about social/political topics.
    • Comments not directly about the event may be deleted, along with anything demeaning or argumentative — if you don’t like the theme, please just skip the event and do something else this weekend.
  • Fair warning: Many players consider this one of the more difficult event maps.
  • The 1x2 size of the Infinite Harvestables makes them easy to bubble, but they are not needed for any keys.
  • A spare Lost Bud is hiding in the middle of the map, just past the start of the 5,000 tile area.

#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 Carnival Carts on the map, with locations shown on Slide 3.
    • Note: No Carnival Carts are used as keys in this event, and it is safe to delete the Infinite Harvestables.
  • Consumable Harvestables:
    • Each 1x1 Golden Jolly Mask can be harvested 25 times; 75 total harvests are needed to complete Quest 1.3.
    • Each harvest of the big 1x2 Peacock Mask at the back of the map yields a 10% chance of spawning an extra Golden Jolly Mask.
    • Once all available Golden Jolly Masks and the Peacock Mask 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.
