| 0s | Hey guys, it´s iDavis here, |
|---|---|
| 2s | I´m a content creator on Youtube, and welcome back! |
| 5s | In this video, we are going to take a look |
| 8s | at all different types of events, that we can see in the game and |
| 11s | for each, I will dive into a bunch of strategies, |
| 14s | that you can find useful once these events appear. |
| 17s | But before I jump into this, |
| 18s | don´t forget to join by subscribing to this channel! |
| 25s | During the year, several events take place in Elvenar, |
| 28s | each with it´s own theme, spirit, rewards and also, the way the event works. |
| 34s | Such a diversity in event mechanics is not only making them interesting - |
| 38s | so that we don´t have exactly the same pattern every time- |
| 40s | but it also allows us to find various ways to progress in the event and |
| 45s | how we can obtain the rewards. |
| 47s | During the year, we used to have around 8 different events, |
| 50s | each taking usually 3 weeks. |
| 53s | Before a new event arrives, there used to be an indication in the game - |
| 57s | in the place of the usual event banner - which says which event is coming soon and |
| 62s | what is the remaining time, till the event begins. |
| 64s | It usually appears around 2 or 3 days before, |
| 67s | so you have enough time to prepare yourself for what the event is about to bring. |
| 72s | During this time, you can dive into the Elvenar Community Forums and |
| 76s | seek all the information that other players found about the event and brought from the Beta Server. |
| 82s | No different, than any other event we have had so far - |
| 85s | the Event Questline is going to challenge you during its duration. |
| 89s | The collection usually contains 75 Quests to complete during the event. |
| 93s | Now, I´m going to give you a portion of hints, that will help you with |
| 97s | completing the most common Quests that the Questlines use to contain. |
| 101s | The number one - keep your city with your chapter. |
| 104s | A lot of Quests require production of Goods or Supplies, |
| 107s | and the required amounts are calculated by the chapter you are in. |
| 111s | For these Quests, |
| 112s | it´s very helpful for you to always keep leveling your Manufactories |
| 115s | to the highest possible level that you have available by the Research - |
| 119s | so that they can produce the highest possible amount of Goods. |
| 122s | Hint number two - keep some free space in your city. |
| 125s | Sometimes, you are asked to produce specific products from Workshops or Manufactories, |
| 130s | that do not depend on the total number of Goods produced, |
| 133s | but on the number of productions you started and collected. |
| 136s | You don´t really need your advanced Manufactories and Workshops |
| 140s | to be running for these Quests, you can rather prepare a small place |
| 143s | somewhere in your city and fill it with some small Level 1 buildings |
| 147s | If you, even before the event starts, launch some 9-hour productions in these buildings, |
| 152s | you will be able to immediately collect them when the specific Quests arrive - |
| 156s | without the need of occupying your main Workshops and Manufactories. |
| 160s | And the hint number three - think in advance. |
| 162s | If you have some Technologies in the Research, |
| 164s | which you don´t necessarily need to unlock right now, |
| 167s | or do not limit you in the Research progress, |
| 170s | keep the Technology locked for now if there is an event running and |
| 173s | you might find it useful unlocking it once the Quest asking for it appears. |
| 178s | The same goes with opened Provinces on the World Map - |
| 181s | especially if you are an advanced player and scouting one Province takes you more than a day, |
| 185s | it´s worth saving some Scouted Provinces for later. |
| 188s | Keeping all of these things in your mind |
| 190s | will help you to quickly get through those most limiting Quests in the Questline. |
| 195s | Now, having the preparation for the event completed, |
| 198s | let´s take a look at what are the three different types of events, we use to see during a year. |
| 203s | The number one - the Rotating Chests. |
| 205s | For the purpose of demonstration, I´m going to use the Autumn Zodiac Event, |
| 210s | which is running at the moment of creating this video. |
| 212s | Examples of other similarly-working events from the past |
| 216s | can be the Air Traders Voyage, Rise of the Phoenix Cult |
| 219s | or Elvarian Carnival, among others. |
| 222s | When this event occurs, there are in total 9 different Chests, |
| 226s | three of which appear in the screen allowing you to choose one of them to open. |
| 231s | After the Chest is opened, |
| 232s | the Chests keep rotating until another 3 are randomly selected. |
| 237s | Each Chest contains a predefined set of possible Rewards, |
| 240s | among which you can find various Instants, Units, Knowledge Points, |
| 244s | but also Goods and Daily Exclusives - for which each Chest has its own specific chance. |
| 249s | This said, you can find your favorite Chests of the event, |
| 252s | based on what is your main objective during the event. |
| 255s | Are you interested in daily prizes? |
| 257s | Or did the main prize, which is usually an Evolving Building, catch your attention? |
| 262s | Based on your preferences, |
| 263s | you can choose the most suitable Chests for reaching your goal. |
| 267s | If your goal is the main prize, |
| 269s | then you will probably want to have the building fully evolved, |
| 272s | for which you will need to choose the best Chests for receiving the Event Payback Currency - |
| 276s | the one that helps you to unlock grand prizes. |
| 279s | To determine such Chests you can divide the cost of the Chest |
| 282s | by the number of provided Event Payback Currency and |
| 286s | you get the cost for one Event Payback for each of the Chests. |
| 289s | This is the simple approach and |
| 290s | you might find it useful including the Event Currency Rewards - |
| 294s | which are to be found in some Chests - into calculation as well. |
| 298s | For this, you can always find various helpful posts in the Community Forums, |
| 302s | so it´s definitely worth checking them as soon as a new event is on the horizon. |
| 307s | If you aim for daily prizes, you can similarly calculate the best Chests for it. |
| 312s | However, keep in mind, |
| 314s | that each event comes with different numbers and rewards, |
| 317s | so you may find it useful to play with every event on its own. |
| 320s | The good aspect of this type of the event is |
| 323s | that you have good control over what you are going to get - |
| 326s | even, if you are not interested in daily prizes nor grand prizes at all, |
| 330s | there are still a bunch of side rewards inside, among wich you can find |
| 334s | the Chests that suit you - and the needs of your city - the best. |
| 339s | Moving on - we have the Shuffle Board event. |
| 342s | The last time we could see this event was during the Fairy Queen´s Garden event, |
| 346s | but it´s also very usual during the Christmas events, |
| 349s | such as the Snow Owl 2020 or Winter Magic 2019. |
| 353s | In this type of the event, we have a 4 by 4 grid of 16 Chests - |
| 358s | in case of this event, flowers - each containing one specific reward. |
| 362s | Before all the Chests are shuffled, we can see the rewards they contain |
| 366s | and that is the point where the strategy comes in. |
| 369s | On the right side of the board, we have 3 special Powers at our disposal. |
| 373s | The Magnifying Glass, which reveals the rewards of 2 different Chests, |
| 378s | Double Reward, which will double the reward |
| 380s | of the next Chest you open and |
| 381s | the Shuffle Power, which will reshuffle the board - |
| 384s | by closing all the opened Chests and renewing the set of possible rewards in them. |
| 389s | Now, let´s consider our two usual approaches towards the events. |
| 393s | If you are aiming for daily prizes.. the thing to keep in mind is, |
| 397s | that in this event, only one of the Chests in the grid contains a daily prize. |
| 402s | If you strategically use the available items, |
| 404s | the chance of opening this Chest can get much higher than 1:16 though. |
| 409s | For each Chest you open, the counter for these powers goes up, |
| 413s | allowing you to activate the special effect once the required number is reached. |
| 417s | You can precisely time activating this effect and |
| 420s | you may result in finding a daily prize |
| 422s | using the Magnifying Glass and opening the Respective Chest |
| 426s | with the Double Reward - allowing you to obtain 2 daily prizes at once. |
| 431s | Also - once you are done with looking for a daily prize, |
| 434s | you can immediately use the Shuffle power, |
| 436s | as there is no other daily prize in the current set of rewards and |
| 439s | you can save your event currency for the next collection of rewards.. |
| 444s | On the other hand, if your main goal is the main prize - |
| 447s | and you are focusing on grand prizes of the event, |
| 450s | the Shuffle button might not be very handy for you. |
| 452s | Everytime you open all the Chests available, the board reshuffles automatically, |
| 457s | which results in saving your Event Currency and allows you to open more Chests - |
| 461s | and so obtain more of the Event Payback - after all. |
| 464s | Some Chests even contain multiple Event Payback pieces, |
| 467s | so you can strategically use special items to easily find and even double such rewards. |
| 474s | Last, but definitely not least, we have the so-called Tile Event. |
| 479s | The last time, we could see this mechanic live, |
| 481s | was during the Halloween event and its Misty Forest - one great event. |
| 486s | It has a very different mechanic from any of the previous two and |
| 489s | allows you to apply your strategies much deeper for obtaining the rewards. |
| 494s | To quickly describe, how this event works.. |
| 496s | everytime, you are put into a different environment - |
| 499s | in case of this event it was a dark forest covered by the fog and |
| 503s | your task is to clear the tiles of the playground and reveal the special items and rewards for you. |
| 508s | For revealing - and moving - on the playground, you use 3 different items - |
| 513s | one for revealing one single tile only, |
| 515s | the second for revealing one column of the tiles and |
| 518s | the third one, revealing the square of 3 by 3 size. |
| 523s | The way these tools work |
| 524s | allow you to play with several strategies they have to offer. |
| 527s | The main priority in this event is to be moving forward as much as possible. |
| 532s | Instead of clearing every single tile in the playfield, |
| 535s | it´s more efficient to reveal a new area coming from the right side of the screen. |
| 539s | The important thing to keep in mind here, is that the fog - |
| 542s | or generally the Cover you are revealing - consists of two phases. |
| 546s | The opaque one - is the one that |
| 548s | doesn´t touch any part of the already cleared area. |
| 550s | You cannot see the rewards behind this tile, even if it does contain a reward. |
| 555s | On the other hand, once you clear the tile, |
| 557s | all of the fog around becomes transparent, |
| 560s | allowing you to see whether there is a reward behind or not. |
| 563s | There is no need to fully reveal the tiles, |
| 565s | in which it is clear that they do not contain any reward, |
| 568s | but you can rather keep moving forward and keep revealing more of the area around. |
| 574s | Every time, you should also think about |
| 576s | which tool is the most appropriate in a specific situation. |
| 579s | For example in this case, none of the tools is more |
| 582s | beneficial than the Lantern - which reveals the column of tiles - |
| 586s | as this will uncover the most of the tiles posible. |
| 590s | Instead of using this tool in this column, I will rather use it in the following one, |
| 594s | as here, I will manage to uncover many more tiles around - |
| 598s | not only those directly under the lantern, but I will also manage to see what - |
| 602s | and whether - there are rewards in both surrounding columns of tiles. |
| 607s | And with that being said, this is my collection of tips |
| 610s | for all different types of events we use to see in Elvenar. |
| 614s | Don´t forget to always keep an eye out for new events to come, |
| 617s | visit the Elvenar Forums to find all the detailed information |
| 620s | about every single event taking place, and thank you for watching. |
| 625s | And I will see you guys, in the next video! |
