Megathread: Pirate’s Plunder Event

Megathread

With thanks to all who helped create this guide!

This event will run from Friday, August 25 until 19:00 GMT on Monday, August 27; to participate you will need version 10.7.0 or later, at least 100 dragon power, and a high quality, stable internet connection.

Please keep questions and discussions about the event in this thread while it is live; good luck and happy merging!

 

#Special Notes

This is described as a new event, so we are starting out with a crowd sourced guide and images hopefully to be added soon.

  • If you are locked out of the event and have gone through the troubleshooting options, all that can be done is to be patient and wait it out while programmers try to persuade the servers to behave.

#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, near the far end of the map.
  • Infinite Harvestables:
    • There are 9x level 1, 3x level 2, 1x level 3, 2x level 4, and 2x level 5 Infinite Harvestables on the map; you can delete one level 1 and one level 2 and still have enough to make a level 6, as long as you 5-merge whenever possible.
  • Consumable Harvestables:
    • Each 1x2 L3CONSUMABLE can be harvested 25 times; 75 total harvests are needed to complete Quest 1.3.
    • Each harvest of the big 2x2 L4CONSUMABLE at the back of the map yields a 10% chance of spawning an extra L3CONSUMABLE.
    • Once all available L3CONSUMABLE and the L4CONSUMABLE 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, here, and in the Community FAQ.

#Event Troubleshooting

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

-1. Try hard closing and then relaunching your game. -2. Try rebooting your device (ie, turn it completely off, then back on and allow it to fully boot up before relaunching the game). -3. Try clearing your game’s cache (check google for instructions on how to do this for your specific phone type, and make sure you don’t delete your game data that’s stored on your device). -4. Try switching to a completely different internet source.

  • If your device is running hot, stop playing and allow it to cool down.
  • 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.
  • NOTE: Cloud Save is still unreliable: according to the developer, it is not safe to be used and should be left turned off.
  • NOTE: Saving your Progress: Make sure you travel to the World Map screen before closing your game to save your progress.

#Specific Glitches

  • Glitch: Missing delete option If your task bar is missing the option to delete dimension jars or other items, you can start with the standard troubleshooting methods; if those don’t trigger a fix, try replaying a few levels or work in your camp for a while or exiting the game for a while
    • It’s not clear exactly which action fixes this problem, but affected players have reported that it does resolve.
  • Glitch: Event level only shows clouds If your event screen shows only clouds instead of the map, check that you are zoomed all the way out. If you are and it still won’t show, try collecting one of the free Bronze Capsules (you may need to wait for the timer to count down).
  • Glitch: Missing rewards/Game crashes after collecting rewards Exiting directly from the event level to your Camp can trigger a crash and loss of items; always exit to the World Map screen first to trigger the game to save your progress, then enter your Camp.
