| 0s | Hi everyone! My name is Nastia. |
|---|---|
| 3s | I am a Community Manager for Forge of Empires. |
| 5s | We have recently kicked off our 11th Anniversary Event on all servers. |
| 10s | This event uses a brand-new merge mechanic that you haven't seen before. |
| 14s | To learn the basics of the event, make sure to watch our release video linked in the description. |
| 21s | But if you're interested to find out more about the event, stay and watch this video where I will |
| 26s | answer your frequently asked questions and hopefully make it easier for you. |
| 31s | And make sure to subscribe to this channel to never miss any news about Forge of Empires! |
| 40s | So, a quick rundown of the event first. |
| 43s | You begin every board with spawning new Gems by clicking here, on the Spawner. |
| 47s | You merge the Gems to level them up and to get Keys. |
| 51s | To extract a Key, you bring it here, to the Converter. |
| 55s | And the first question is… |
| 56s | Do all Gems have the same spawn rate? |
| 59s | No. The Fire Gems (the red ones) have a slightly higher spawn rate than others. |
| 64s | Keep it in mind when you're populating your board |
| 67s | with new Gems and when deciding how to spend the Keys you extract later on. |
| 71s | Also, a small note: newly spawned Gems will never have a Key piece on them, |
| 76s | neither will they be locked. Also, the higher Gem levels have a lower chance to spawn. |
| 82s | What is the difference between merging locked and unlocked Gems? |
| 85s | The merge mechanic is simple: |
| 87s | you click on two Gems of the same size and affinity, and you have yourself a merge. |
| 92s | You can only merge using an unlocked piece. |
| 95s | And once you click on it, you will see all options available for merge. |
| 99s | Once you merge the Gems, it increases their level up to the max, which is the fourth level. |
| 104s | When you merge an unlocked piece with a locked one, the latter becomes unlocked, |
| 109s | and you receive Grand Prize progress points as well as a reward. |
| 112s | The reward depends on the Gem’s level and affinity. |
| 115s | You can check it by clicking on the Gem before the merge. |
| 119s | But you can also consult the Cheat Sheet to get an |
| 122s | overview of reward types you can get from different affinity gems. |
| 125s | When you merge two unlocked pieces together, you don’t receive a reward, |
| 130s | but it will still level up the Gem, which is useful for further merges. |
| 133s | Remember: merging two level 4 pieces will not level up the Gem anymore. |
| 139s | If you merge two level 4 Gems with different halves of a Key, it will create a full Key. |
| 144s | And if both Gems have a full Key, you will be left with one Gem and one Key. |
| 149s | So, be very considerate of when you want to use this. |
| 153s | This choice will depend on what state you want to leave your board in before the reset. |
| 157s | Should I always aim to complete the board? |
| 160s | As you merge, the game will tell you “there is some number of locked pieces |
| 164s | on the board” every once in a while, prompting you to complete the board. |
| 168s | Completing the board means clearing it of all the locked pieces. |
| 172s | And doing so has a number of benefits. |
| 175s | The first benefit is the Board Completion Reward. |
| 178s | It is a special chest with valuable items, and you can only get if you complete the board. |
| 184s | The second benefit is the automatic Key conversion. |
| 187s | If at the time of the reset you still have Gems on the board, |
| 190s | you will receive 1 Key for each of the following combinations. |
| 195s | 10 Gems of the same affinity, 4 Gems of the same affinity with Key pieces, 1 Gem with a full Key. |
| 202s | Now, be sure to always extract Keys from level four Gems before you reset or complete the board. |
| 208s | You get 3 Keys for doing so if you use the Converter. |
| 212s | And if these Gems get converted automatically as you |
| 215s | complete the board, you will only receive 1 Key for a level four Gem. |
| 219s | If you can’t or don’t want to complete the board, you can reset it anytime. |
| 223s | Once per day the reset is free, and afterwards it costs Energy. |
| 227s | In this case, you won’t get the board completion reward |
| 230s | and there will be no automatic conversion. |
| 232s | However, you might still opt out to reset the board |
| 236s | for strategic purposes or to ration your Energy. |
| 239s | Do collected Keys disappear when I reset the board? |
| 242s | The Keys you have collected will be sent to the |
| 245s | right-hand menu and listed under the reward Chests. |
| 247s | These will not disappear, however many times you reset the board. |
| 251s | And the Keys balance is also “shared”. |
| 253s | So, once you spend them, they will be deducted from your overall balance. |
| 258s | So, you might want to first look at the Chests you want most, |
| 261s | and see if you have enough Keys for all of them. |
| 264s | How do you choose which reward Chests to get? |
| 266s | Reward Chests provide various items, the Grand Prize progress, |
| 270s | and a chance to win the current Daily Special. |
| 273s | The rewards differ depending on the Chest: Bronze, Silver, or Gold. |
| 277s | Bronze Chests are the cheapest, are nice for a quick win and for getting Daily Specials, |
| 283s | but they provide fewer progress points towards the Grand Prize. |
| 287s | Golden Chests on the other hand give a lower chance to win the Daily Special, |
| 291s | but way more Grand Prize progress points, so you can move faster. |
| 296s | And the Silver Chests are a nice middle option. |
| 299s | So, choose wisely! |
| 300s | Okay, that’s about it! |
| 302s | Of course, that’s not all of the questions one can ask about the event, |
| 306s | but I hope I covered the most important ones. |
| 308s | You can also find information about the Event on our Knowledge Base and the forum for your server. |
| 314s | Also, please join our official Facebook Group to |
| 318s | discuss with thousands of players around the world! |
| 321s | Thanks for tuning in and good luck with the Anniversary Event! |
| 323s | See you next time! |
| 325s | Bye! |
