    PAST EVENT - Hey Everybunny, It's the Easter Event!

    Yes, we really did just use that thread title. And we are okay with it! We are happy to announce that the Easter Event will come to your islands on March 21, 2013, directly after the maintenance. More details about Easter Event dates can be found below. Follow the white rabbit, search for special Easter Eggs and bring great fun to your Settlers!

    Easter Event Dates (Subject to change!)
    Start: March 21st, 2013
    Removal I: April 11th, 2013
    Removal II: April 18th, 2013

    After "Removal I," explorers will not be able to find Easter Eggs anymore. In addition, you will be unable to start new event quest chains. The "Removal II" phase will finish the Easter event completely (i.e. replace Easter graphics with the standard ones and remove the Easter category from the Shop). Below we're happy to detail the Easter Egg Hunt and other Easter surprises awaiting you during this event!


    Plenty of colorful Easter Eggs

    You can collect lots of Easter Eggs during the event! You can then exchange these in the Shop for various buffs, buildings, specialists and decorative items. Easter Eggs are trade-able and appear in the storehouse(s) like all other resources, as usual. How can you get Easter Eggs? Here are the various ways to gather them:
    • As a reward for completing a series of Easter Egg quests,
    • As a lucky find when the explorer returns from one of four looking for treasure,
    • As a result of trade with other players,
    • From the Shop in exchange for Gems.
    You will find the Easter Eggs in your warehouse in the "Basic" goods category.


    Easter Egg Hunting is an Adventure!

    Apart from using explorers who are searching for treasures to help you in the Easter Egg Hunt, you can also follow the new weekly quest chains. During the Easter event, all active players with level 17+ will have a chance to cooperate with a new NPC: he will assign them one quest chain every 6 days. Each quest chain will consist of several sub quests, including quests related to Easter adventures.

    The quests will be split into 3 level ranges: 17-24, 25-39 and 40-50. The Easter adventures and quest texts will be the same for all levels – the only differentiation between different level ranges is the amount of resources needed for completing the task.

    Important: after finishing the Easter quest, Easter Eggs will be sent directly to your storehouse.


    How to start the Easter Adventure?

    To start the Easter adventure, click the adventure icon in the Star menu and then select "Start Adventure". The adventure will now appear in your quest book or to the right of the screen. In order to complete the adventure select it in the Quest book and then click "Visit," or click on the adventure on the right of the screen and then click "Visit" in the popup menu. After you have entered the Easter adventure, follow the quests mentioned in the Quest book.

    You can check the details of the adventure in the quest book to see how many Easter Eggs remain to be found. Keep in mind that each adventure has to be completed manually by clicking the respective button in the quest book. Every player will be able to purchase one additional Easter adventure in the Shop (for 1 Fish). The purchase of Easter adventures will not be limited to any level range, so players lower than level 17 will be able to buy them as well. All players will be able to start the Easter adventures, even the ones below level 26.

    Important: if you finish the Easter adventure without Easter quest running, you will receive NO REWARD.


    Shop Items Available to Trade for Easter Eggs

    "Veteran General" (1,350 , maximum 1 in total)
    This special general gives you an added bonus, as you can assign 250 military units (instead of 200) to him. He can also travel twice as fast to adventure zones and also recovers more quickly from defeats in battle than a normal general.
    Important: We are super excited to announce that during this Easter event, EVERY user will be able to get a Veteran General for Easter Eggs. This means that if you already have two from throughout the past year, you are still able to obtain a third! This is limited to ONE Veteran General this year, which means that regardless of how many you currently have (0, 1, or 2), you will be able to earn ONE with Eggs this Easter!

    "Experienced Explorer" (420 , maximum 2 in total)
    This explorer can help you a lot: he only requires half the time to complete his search missions compared to normal explorers.
    Important: each player can have only 2 explorers of this type, it means that if you already have one "Easter" explorer (Easter event in the past), this year you will be able to get only one additional one.

    Watermill (240 , maximum 5)
    (Resource building – Water) This inexhaustible and upgrade-able watermill delivers the clearest water from deep under your island. Your construction workers will be delighted to have fewer jobs building wells!

    Easter Wheatfield (60 )
    (Resource building – Wheat) Easter Bunnies love hiding in wheat fields; this field contains a total of 6,000 wheat units to stop you from finding them too quickly.
    Important: the field does not go back to the Star menu after being depleted/demolition.

    Raving Rabbid Statue (180 )
    (Decoration building) The Easter Bunny himself modeled for this statue. The statue will scream for you if you click it!

    Floating House (75 , maximum 5)[INDENT][INDENT](Resource building - Population) Many of you have been waiting for this for a long time: you will be able to build on water! Yes, that’s not a mistake - the Easter event will implement a brand new building to the game, which can be placed on water only. This unique building will increase the population limit in your settlement by 40 (1st upgrade level) and will be upgradeable until level 5.



    Rabbit Luck Charm (120 )
    (Building buff) Rabbit luck charms bring good luck, particularly for your hard workers. Your craftsmen can use this buff to produce 3 times the yield without exerting themselves from the same resources for 48 hours. When used with friends, the rabbit luck charm has a total of 72 hours.

    Mineral Rabbit (60 )
    (Deposit – Coal) You will receive an additional 6,000 coal units that your mine workers can extract.

    Chocolate Rabbit (40 )
    (Building buff) In the past many of you asked us to implement a buff which will speed up the production in the provision house: here it is! Chocolate Rabbit halves the production time of the provision house for 12 hours! This buff can be used only on the home island, which means that it cannot be used to buff your friend's provision house.

    Easter Eggs Packages in the Shop

    "Small Egg Package" (340 )
    Contains 100 Easter Eggs that you can exchange in the Shop or trade with other players.

    "Large Egg Package" (895 )
    Contains 300 Easter Eggs that you can exchange in the Shop or trade with other players.

    As always, there will be several graphics swaps in game in order to celebrate this event! Happy Easter Egg Hunting from us here at The Settlers Online!

    Update on Veteran General Numbers!

    We have been listening carefully to your feedback in regard to the Veteran General cap of two, and have taken it into account. We are super excited to announce that during this Easter event, EVERY user will be able to get a Veteran General for Easter Eggs. This means that if you already have two from throughout the past year, you are still able to obtain a third! The original post has been edited to reflect this change.
