#ANNOUNCEMENTS

Event Notes

  • The map has been described as being more player friendly than it first appears.
  • The choice of the Tribal dragon as the “fast” one caused considerable player backlash in the first edition of this event.
  • WARNING: There is dead land under the L6 Colosseum (Infinite Harvestable) lock.
  • Beta and A/B tests:
    • One A/B test gives randomly chosen players the option to earn free Bronze or Silver Capsules by watching advertisements.
    • In another A/B test, players may be able to watch advertisements to unlock free Dimension Jars.
  • Still needing the total number of map tiles for Quest 3.4, but otherwise this theme’s guide is complete.

Elsewhere in the Game

  • NOTE: A lot of small glitches have been reported lately; updating to the latest version and then rebooting your device seems to help with many (other Troubleshooting steps may also help).
  • The Dragonia Kingdoms feature is currently in redevelopment; access is variable at the moment, and many players cannot make progress at this time. For now, all we can do is be patient until the devs make a decision on what they want to do with this area, or if it should be removed entirely — either temporarily or permanently. Link 1
  • The Mystic Challenge mini-event is a new type of event being beta tested by a small number of players. Link 1, Link 2, Link 3, Link 4
  • The month-long Progressive Insurance collaboration is out to all US players; the free tokens can be merged to make dragon eggs. Link
  • A new beta test for a Card Collecting feature will cause some players to see cards replace some of the normal prize items in Seasons, Events, the Tower, etc.
  • A method to deliberately trigger the highly coveted Star Quest Reset has been shared and confirmed to work; however, it does come with a risk of permanent progress or item loss from save data corruption. Link

#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 usually takes 5 or 6 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.
  • To collect both the full set of Points Prizes and any level of Rush Rewards, you will need to earn 29,950 points.
    • Reaching this amount requires 1x Level 9 points item, 1x L8 item, 2x L7 items, and 2x L6 items (or just aim for 2x L9 points items).
  • There’s typically enough material to merge by 3s when making Key items.
  • The Gold Capsule, Fallen Star, and Tanzanite Nest are near the far edge of the map, on tiles requiring 50k energy to heal.
  • Caves must be tapped to spawn an Event Zomblin; only one Zomblin lives in each cave, and if the cave is destroyed before being tapped it will not spawn anything useful.
    • When an Event Zomblin is killed, it spawns Stinky Cheese that can be harvested to start the Spirit Lantern chain, which feeds into the Spirit Rose chain, which produces Dark Roses and the Spectral Rose Bush.
  • Infinite Harvestables:
    • There are usually 9x Level 1, 3x L2, 1x L3, 2x L4, and 2x L5 Infinite Harvestables (the Empire Generators) 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.
    • Warning: There is dead land under the L6 Colosseum (Infinite Harvestable) lock.
  • Consumable/Limited Harvestables:
    • Each 1x2 Full Bathhouse can be harvested 25 times; 75 total harvests are needed to complete Quest 1.3.
    • Each harvest of the big 2x2 Lush Royal Spa at the back of the map yields a 10% chance of spawning an extra Full Bathhouse.
    • Once all available Full Bathhouse and the Lush Royal Spa are gone, there is no way to get more.
  • Strategy advice:
    • Spending money or gems is NEVER required to complete an event, nor is using an auto-clicker or other exploits.
    • The number and level of possible reward items is determined by your Event Portal level; working to raise that to its maximum of L16 is one of the best ways to boost your overall progress in the game
    • A good basic introduction to events is available here on the Fandom Wiki; there’s also some Wiki event guides and tips articles here and here, and a whole collection of general guides and tutorials here
    • Additional general event strategy advice (active vs passive or idle play, etc) can be found in the Community FAQ and in these threads: Link 1, Link 2, Link 3, and Link 4.
    • For active players wanting more dragons, the Prism Flower method is a good option: Link 1, Link 2, Link 3. Note: Only 2 dragons at a time will harvest when left on their own; having more will actually slow down idle harvesting, so this method is best for active players or replacing a deleted dragon.
    • A strategy using the Hills chain here can greatly increase Life Flower production, but it usually takes a few gems (maximum of 80, but less if you get some hills in capsules).

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. 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 again after releasing prize items into your camp, as well as after merging high-level or valuable dragons/items.

 

#EVENT TROUBLESHOOTING

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

  1. Check that you meet the version and dragon power requirements.
  2. Try hard-closing and then relaunching your game.
  3. A) Try rebooting your device (ie, turn it completely off, then back on and allow it to fully boot up before relaunching the game). B) If you are on wifi and have access to the router, try rebooting that, too.
  4. Try switching to a completely different internet source.
  5. Try clearing your game’s cache (google for instructions for your specific phone type).
  6. 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 issues with the servers can cause temporary problems — all we can do for that is to wait it out.
  7. If none of the above helps, contact Gram Games Support through the in-game link or the Support Web Portal 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.
  • Glitch: Missing sell/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.
