    Dev's Diary: Easter Event 2014

    More information about the upcoming event: Easter 2014! All details can be found below.


    April 9th, 2014 (after maintenance): Start
    April 30th, 2014 (with maintenance): Removal phase 1
    May 7th, 2014(with maintenance): Removal phase 2

    Removal phase 1 = Deactivation of event, event shop category remains // Removal phase 2 = Event shop category deactivated



    The Easter Event will come to your settlement on Wednesday, April 9th, 2014! Follow the rabbits, search for special Easter Eggs and build a screaming rabbit statue for your settlers! This year, in addition to the Easter specials from the last events, new items and features will be introduced and some of the old features have been adjusted. Let's check out the details .




    Again Easter eggs are this year's event resource.
    Eggs can be traded and are listed in the warehouse (event tab) as usual.
    If you have eggs from previous Easter events, you can use those as well.

    How can I collect eggs?
    • Reward from completing adventures
    • Reward for completing a series of Easter egg quests
    • Drop chance when explorer returns from a treasure hunt
    • Collectibles on your home island
    • Trade with other players
    • Shop offers (small and large egg package)





    There will be 3 new event collectibles that will spawn on your island.
    They can be used to produce the "Hidden Egg Hunt" buff in your Mayor's house (collections tab).



    Egg Paint, Play Egg, Wicker Basket


    The new buff "Hidden Egg Hunt" will reward players who cooperate with friends.
    Activating the buff on a friend's Mayor's house will cause collectible eggs to spawn on the friend's island.
    Both players will receive the eggs that the friend is able to find on his or her island.

    Hidden Egg Hunt: (Friend's Mayor's house buff)
    Effect: Easter egg collectibles will spawn on a friend's island.
    Usage: Immediate egg spawns, 12 hour duration to collect the spawned eggs
    Availability: Quest chain, Collection production in the Mayor's house (with Easter egg collectibles)







    During the Easter event, all active players with level 17+ will have a chance to cooperate with the Easter NPCs: The NPCs will assign one quest chain every 6 days, plus an additional 5 sub quests each. Each quest chain will consist of several sub quests, including tasks related to Easter adventures. In total, there are 20 (sub) quests, including 8 collectible egg adventures. The quests are 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 tasks based on the level range differ in the resources needed to complete a task.




    8 egg search adventures plus a new Easter combat adventure

    The new Easter combat adventure

    Name: Garrun the Trapper (Easter combat adventure)
    Availability: Shop / Gems

    The Easter egg search adventures

    Task: Search for the randomly-spawned collectible eggs
    Availability: Easter quest chains

    Important: Eggs are transferred to your home island after all eggs are found and the adventure is finished






    A special Easter category is available in the shop during the Easter event.

    Wait so NOW, I have to get more than 6000 eggs to get everything I want?

    I was basing it on the testing server, and I could get comfortably what I wanted for 6000 eggs.

    Now it's going to cost: 10,260

    I hope people really, really like Marble, Copper Ore, Gold Coins, Bronze, and Tools and hate easter eggs.

    Edit: At the very least, I will get that MMA General and an experienced Explorer, hopefully a water mill and floating residence.

    I was looking for testing results on how many eggs explorers return with on treasure searches. I know in theory what they should get but wasnt sure if there was any testing done to see what the actual average amount is.

    The buff of an area instead of just one building sounds interesting.
