Events

Overview
Events are an opportunity to earn eggs, creatures, and other goodies by going to a special map and completeing an event specific merge chain while healing the land. They will be advertised in game a few days beforehand, and generally run from Friday morning until very late Sunday night, depending on your time zone.

As on your normal island, you need to harvest Trees of Life for Life Essence to heal land. Unlike on the normal map where the limiter is Creature Power, on an Event map you unlock sections by completing quests for Quest Statues, or by discovering an item shown as a Silhouette Puzzle.

Silhouette Puzzle are denoted by the shadow of an item and a hovering Key icon. You must uncover and heal the tile of a Silhouette Puzzle before it can be turned in. An available Silhouette Puzzle will show a green button beneath it when the requested item is somewhere on the map. Tapping the button will automatically pull the item into the Silhouette Puzzle tile to unlock the area, and the item will NOT be consumed. Event rewards are gated behind Silhouette Puzzles, where the requested items are different levels of the event specific item chain.

Quest Statues look like recolored Forgotten Statues, but you cannot change the given quest or move the Quest Statue. Completed Quest statues will glow in the same way as a completed Forgotten Statue, and will disappear when tapped to turn in the quest.

Event Completion Tips
As soon as the event starts and until it ends, you can wait in your regular meadow until you see the hot air balloon with the diamond hanging below it. Click on it and you will get a diamond in a bubble on the event screen. It is possible to then go right back to your meadow, and wait for the hot air balloon again and just farm diamonds in this way. Even after you've finished actively doing the event, you can just keep collecting diamonds until the event properly ends. Of course, you will want to merge them and collect them before the end. It's at least as beneficial as merging cocoons at the end.


 * Focus on getting higher level Trees of Life as a priority. Once you've cleared all the land, you can sell/trash all your Trees of Life so the creatures don't get distracted by them.
 * Bone Pile can be tapped for 4 bones, or you can harvest it a couple times until it has shrunk twice, then tap it to get 3 more bones.
 * Abuse the fact that your creatures don't get tired: harvest Bones instead of merging them, and you average 1 or 2 extra level 1 tree of life per 5 bones.
 * Merge your Life Essence as much as you can without running out of room, then use it to heal land.
 * Be prepared to quick-tap on the Quest Statues or Silhouette Puzzles that are cleared during a big healing sweep, so you don't lose any of that healing power.
 * Ignore the Event Currency production and items until the end, unless you have a Statue Quest or Silhouette Puzzle dealing with them.
 * The 'bonus' limited-amount harvest items for the event are much quicker to gather from than the endless sources. The limited-harvest items are given more often, and at higher level, from healing land that's deeper in the map. There's a huge cache of them as a reward for completely clearing the map, as well.
 * Save all the odds and ends -coins, lucky boxes, things that merge into Level 1 Life Trees - for when the land starts costing a LOT of life essence to heal, then heal land by merging as much as you can. Merge to heal cheaper land only when you have a Statue Quest to do so.
 * Don't use or merge the special Event Chests until you have a Statue Quest to do so. Don't open the smaller event chests, either - the rewards are much better after they're merged into the larger version.
 * If you can, arrange to leave the game running in the Event Map for a while. Even leaving the game running with your phone plugged in overnight can help a LOT.
 * If you unlock all the event rewards before the event ends, you can usually use the event map to harvest a lot of pearls from oysters, or coins and diamonds from merging Cocoons (produced by fossils harvested from the Sinkhole chain), depending on what items were available on the map.
 * At least in an event map, a rainbow bush harvested while it's blue will produce a single level 1 sinkhole.
