#Announcements

  • Event Notes:
    • Getting the fast dragon first should be possible for most players.
    • An L6 Heavenly Archway Infinite Harvestable 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.
    • The Wishing Star is located next to the Fallen Star at the far end of the map
    • This map is one of the better layouts for idle harvesting, even if the design (a cat playing with butterflies) doesn’t much fit the theme.
    • This event has traditionally featured all dragons as the points prizes, with the level of each dragon depending on your Event Portal level.
  • Elsewhere in the Game:
    • New Friend Tag and Dens List posts will open on January 1st, along with a new 2024 Event Calendar.
    • The Wondrous Workshop beta feature has been pulled from the game; items related to this feature will be removed at a later date.

 

NOTE: All info is preliminary and based on what was featured in last year’s event; it may take up to a few hours to confirm/correct everything once the event starts

#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.

  • 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.
    • Note: An L6 Heavenly Archway is used as a key in this event, but it can safely be skipped as there’s no dead land or required items behind it.

  • Consumable Harvestables:

    • Each 1x2 Master Astrologist's Toolkits 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 Toolkits.
    • Once all available Master Astrologist's Toolkits and the Grand Master Astrologist's Toolkit are gone, there is no way to get more.

#Event Troubleshootingh

If the event is not showing up correctly or if 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 switching to a completely different internet source.
  4. 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).
  5. If you’re suddenly experiencing multiple issues like lagging or error messages (or if the event vanishes completely), close the game and try again after 2-3 hours. Events are internet-based, and sometimes trouble with the servers or other issues at that end can cause temporary problems — all we can do for that is to wait it out.
  6. If none of the above 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 to save your progress by traveling to the World Map screen (and waiting there until everything’s fully loaded) regularly, and especially before closing your game.
  • 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, replaying a few levels or working in your camp for a while have reportedly helped.
  • 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 — and pause there until everything’s fully loaded — to trigger the game to save your progress, then enter your Camp.
