Tips about the Event
1. It's not that you have one day to complete a chapter - it's that another chapter won't UNLOCK until the next day.
2. If you finish the chapter early, you have to wait for the remainder of the time to expire before the next chapter starts.
3. You have to complete a chapter to begin the next chapter.
4. The chapter should not be completed if you want to keep collecting items or crafting until the 'next day' chapter begins.
5. If you take longer than a day to complete a chapter then the next one will start sooner.
6. If you gem skip a chapter, the next one doesn't start sooner (you will wait even longer!).

7. There are 2 sets of requirements for this event - Low level is 15-45 and High level is 46+ (confirmed! yay! )

Goal Information


Chapter 1: Old Thomas: Young ruler, please come to my home at once! I have found an old text I think you would be very interested in reviewing... It tells a tale of a lost, ancient settlement not far off in the Glimmerwoods! There may be clues to the location hidden about the realm. I suspect you may want to investigate further.
Chapter 1:
1 - 1 Visit Old Thomas's House (I've found a magnificent artefact!) 0/1
1 - 2 Tend to Rocket Larkspurs (Might there be something in the flowers?) 0/15
1 - 3 Visit the Pond (Check the depths for secrets!) LL 0/14 | HL 0/15
1 - 4 Visit the Farmhouses! (Perhaps there are clues in the straw!) LL 0/10 | HL 0/15


Chapter 2: Old Thomas: An ancient queen once rules the realm, the story tells, but evil came upon her throne and she was abandoned, left to perish in an opulent tomb. It does not say the source of the evil, however! The Queen herself could have turned villainous... Perhaps we do not truly want to find this ancient monarch...
Chapter 2:
2 - 1 Build the Pyramid (Buy this in the Market!) 0/1
2 - 2 Visit the Rustic Well (See what you find!) LL 0/6 | HL 0/12 | rewards 1 golden scarab
2 - 3 Clear Desert Cacti (Buy this in the Market!) 0/2 | rewards 1 fresh aloe
2 - 4 Upgrade the Pyramid to Lv. 2 (Something is emerging from the sand!)


Chapter 3: Old Thomas: We have surely found the final resting place of the queen in this old Pyramid, though it seems to have been damaged over the years. It will not be too difficult for us to repair it, but we may risk awakening the queen inside! If we search the desert, perhaps we will find more clues to the mystery surrounding her imprisonment.
Chapter 3:
3 - 1 Visit Community Kingdoms (Arrange a travel party!) LL 0/15 | HL 0/15
3 - 2 Fight Off Sphinxes (Found near Farmhouses!) LL 0/3 | HL 0/6
3 - 3 Search the Desert (Look for anything interesting!) LL 0/2 | HL 0/3 | rewards 2 oasis sapling
3 - 4 Tend Oasis Saplings (Find more by searching the desert!) 0/10
3 - 5 Upgrade the Pyramid to Lv. 3 (Getting taller now!)
* 2 Oasis Saplings are rewarded when you complete the 3rd adventure. You don't see them drop, but need to be taken out of inventory and placed. 10 minute timer both when a sapling and when fully grown. Takes 5 collections to grow the tree.
* Additional oasis saplings can be purchased now in the market for 50 gems.
* Keep adventuring though as free oasis trees (fully grown) can also drop from the adventure. It is random though (of course!). Majority of time you will get a free desert cactus as a box drop.
* Palm leaves will start dropping from the oasis trees now too.


Chapter 4: Old Thomas: That ferocious creature seems to be guarding the pyramid... Is it for keeping us out or is it meant to keep whatever is inside in? We must keep investigating.
Chapter 4:
4 - 1 Search the Desert (Take care in the heat of the sun!) 2 | rewards 2 Egyptian Falcon
4 - 2 Feed Egyptian Falcons (Find these feathered friends in your Storage!) LL 0/4 | HL 0/8
4 - 3 Upgrade the Pyramid to Lv. 4 (It's starting to take shape!)

Note: 5-1 listed for lower (wheat) and higher (glimmerbulbs) level players (confirmed at L45)
Chapter 5: Old Thomas: That wise bird had some gentle advice for us... the Sphinx will continue to prevent us from gaining entrance to the tomb, even as we repair it. We must find out what these creatures want!
Chapter 5:
5 - 1 Give Wheat (Supplies for our journey!) 0/20
5 - 1 Give Glimmerbulbs (A refreshing treat in the desert!) 0/30
5 - 2 Ask Neighbors for Desert Map Pieces (Help us find the way!) LL 0/10 | HL 0/15
5 - 3 Search the Desert (Make sure to bring water!) LL 0/1 | HL 0/2
5 - 4 Tend Oasis Trees (Upgrade an Oasis Sapling!) 0/1
5 - 5 Upgrade the Pyramid to Lv. 5 (Brick by brick!) | rewards 1 fresh aloe


Chapter 6: Old Thomas: Through my research on the Sphinx and the messages they have been leaving behind for us... I think I may have found a way to gain entrance into the pyramid undisturbed - but the entrance is hidden. It will take some critical thinking to be able to get to the bottom of this pyramid... or pehaps the top!
Chapter 6:
6 - 1 Visit Old Thomas's House (I'll update you on my research!) 0/1
6 - 2 Visit the Sawmill (The wheel is spinning!) LL 0/1 | HL 0/2
6 - 3 Make a Pharoah's Nectar (Prepared in the Workshop!) 0/1
6 - 4 Make a Scarab Compass (Prepared in the Workshop!) 0/1
6 - 5 Upgrade the Pyramid to Lv. 6 (The repair is going well!) | rewards 1 Palm Leaves


Chapter 7: Old Thomas: I was able to put together the map that our neighbours give us, and I believe I may have found a way to several hidden tombs in the desert! Let me show you the way.
Chapter 7:
7 - 1 Read the Map (Look at these markings!) 0/1
7 - 2 Search the Desert (Look for tomb entrances!) 0/1 | rewards 2 Desert Tomb
7 - 3 Look into the Desert Tomb (What is inside?) LL 0/1 | HL 0/2
7 - 4 Make an Oasis Elixir (A way to keep hydrated in the desert.) 0/1
7 - 5 Upgrade the Pyramid to Lv. 7 (We'll be inside in no time!)


Note: 8-3 listed for lower (grits) and higher (pasta) level players
Chapter 8: text from top of screen
Chapter 8:
8 - 1 Fight Off Sphinxes (Look near Farmhouses to find!) LL 0/2 | HL 0/3
8 - 2 Visit the Tavern (Let's decode this riddle!) LL 0/1 | HL 0/2
8 - 3 Give Grits (Food for the brain!) 0/5
8 - 3 Give Pasta 0/7
8 - 4 Search the Desert (The journey continues!) 0/1
8 - 5 Upgrade the Pyramid to Lv. 8 (Nearly there now!) | rewards 1 Mysterious Riddles


Chapter 9: Old Thomas: I am so sorry, young ruler. I thought I had the solution to the riddle, but I do not! Perhaps you might be able to solve this problem? We'll gain entrance into the Pyramid if you can!
"My skin is made of metal, yet I move freely.
My face is obscured, you enemies who see me are shaken by my fearsome visage.
I am but a simple servant, yet I weld might power in my hands. Who am I?"

Chapter 9:
9 - 1 Ask Neighbors for Ancient Artifacts (Help us decode the mystery!) 0/20
9 - 2 Visit Community Kingdoms (Perhaps we can source a solution!) 0/20
9 - 3 Make a Scarab Amulet (Prepared in the Magic Forge!) 0/1
9 - 4 Upgrade the Pyramid to Lv. 9 (The mystery of the Pyramid is at hand!) | rewards 1 Sphinx Tribute


Note: 10-2 listed for lower (breaded fish) and higher (hearty feast) level players
Chapter 10: Old Thomas: Wise answer, young ruler! It is a knight! Face the Sphinx again and solve their riddle... the Pyramid will open for us then!
Chapter 10:
10 - 1 Visit Farmhouses (Face the Sphinx again!) 0/5
10 - 2 Give Breaded Fish (We'll need to refuel after that duel!) 0/1
10 - 2 Give Hearty Feast 0/4
10 - 3 Look into a Desert Tomb (Spooky!) 0/1
10 - 4 Make a Tome Translation (Prepared in the Magic Forge!) 0/1
10 - 5 Upgrade the Pyramid to Lv. 10 (We can finally meet the Queen!)


Side Goals - 1ST NUMBER IS LOWER LEVEL; 2ND NUMBER IS HIGH LEVEL QUANTITIES
sorry, I had only received the lower level numbers when I posted on day 1. the numbers haven't increased, they just now include both high and low level requirements.

I've never played this type of event before. Maybe the drops are unlocked after we get the Pyramid? 🤔
Like other events where we if we collect from a certain building before we hit that goal it doesn't drop the event item? 😥

Thank you for the previews as always WittyWitch, looks like the farmhouses will take me some time to complete.

No drops here yet either, there are 2 "sale deals" offered that have drops/trade tickets etc. though.

Looking forward to hearing from people steaming ahead.

Seems to be 2 Inter-related events, the chapter thing and the pyramid. I can't collect or do anything to upgrade the pyramid and it is on an 8 hr timer. Is that because I finished the first chapter or because we can't do it yet, anyone know? : )

i usually leave chapters open. but this first chapter nothing dropped for me (other than the usual water, mermaid scales, petals). no special drops. was that just me?

I've not done this type of event yet. Could you give more information on closing/leaving chapters open?

I bought the pyramid right away and hope that doesn't cause a problem. I think usually the option to upgrade doesn't show up right away, more like stage 4 or 5. So we can interact with it further in the quest line.

Read the part about Tips for this Event That Chapter/StoryBook event will give you an idea of what we are in for.. pretty much the same Formula

So leaving Chapters open allows you to keep collecting from Rustic Wells etc.. so why end a chapter when you know that the next will not start for hours or next day..

Secrets of the Sphinx
Find a Sphinx 0/1
Defeat a Sphinx 0/1
Gather Mysterious Riddles (From battling Sphinxes) 0/40
Summon a Sphinx (Summon in the Workshop) 0/1

Make sure there are no monsters on your board for this goal!

So far it seems that nothing is dropping in Chapter 1 so it would be ok to finish?

It seems like the drops don't start until Chapter 2.

For those of you that bought the pyramid: do your larkspurs and ponds/wells drop anything extra? If your chapter 1 is still open.

My larkspur and wells/ponds are not dropping anything. I have only visited 9 farmhouses, so chapter 1 is still open. I have forced closed my game.

Thank you Greasyfork for the link to the tip page. I'm sorry I have a few more questions. I'm not seeing how to not close a chapter. Should I have not clicked "onward" key? Close the game when it tells me I've finished? It did send me to chapter 2 which from what I read will open tomorrow.

To not close out the chapter just means not to finish the last goal in that chapter. If chapter 3 has 4 goals, don't finish goal 4 until you are finished for the day.

I often use gems for the first speed up the chapter because it's usually pretty cheap. The drawback to skipping ahead is you still need to wait the 48 hours for the next chapter. Thanks for the reminder about NOT completing the last chapter quests for drops. That gets more important with each chapter.

This sounds like a bug then. Either it shouldn't be for sale until that goal, or it should auto complete if already purchased/built. Lower level players will lose too much coin and resources if they buy too soon, and get it taken away! to have to buy and build again!

Edited: when chapter 2 opened for me, goal 1 autocompleted and I did not have to buy the pyramid again.

The adventure to Search the Desert sometimes drops Oasis Saplings.

Chapter 3
Goal 4 Tend Oasis Saplings 0/10
Goal 5 Upgrade the Pyramid to Level 3

Upgrade the Pyramid to Level 3
Golden Scarab 0/20
Fresh Aloe 0/20
Oasis Water (from Oasis Trees) 0/20

Oasis Saplings grow into Oasis Trees
Collection time is 10 minutes
Oasis Saplings drop Oasis Water and so far, it has been dropping either 1 or 2 Oasis Water each collection (mostly 1)

Stymie52
08-06-20, 11:50 PM
It takes 5 or 6 times tending to the Oasis Saplings before they become Oasis Trees. They then drop Palm Leaves which are not a guaranteed drop.

For anyone else who bought the Pyramid in Chapter 1, and is stuck on Goal 1 of Chapter 2 (building the Pyramid)...
Try force-closing, the goal gets completed that way.

Good luck everyone and thanks for all the tips and 'heads up' already posted!

Remember not to upgrade your Pyramid to Level 2, if you still want to collect resources.
Fresh Aloe and Golden Scarab both have a max of 99. I think it's smart to collect those 99 now we have the time and not much else to do.
You can start growing Wheat (20) and Glimmerbulbs (30) for Goal 5.
You can start making Grits (5) and Pasta (7) for Goal 8.
You can start making Breaded Fish (1) and Hearty Feast (4) for Goal 10

Just now, My Chapter 2 opened right to the Goal 2 of 4; I had purchased the Pyramid before, and when day-change occurred I didn't even see the text for Chapter 2 Goal 1 come through just "You did it! Good job" and then Goal 2's frame popped up.
If it was a bug, they may have taken care of it!

Edit: Good point, RonjaR82. I typically force-close rather frequently, but especially at day-change to (try to) prevent rollbacks! I did restart right at :00 to get my new day's gifting window, and the quest popped itself straight to Chapter 2 Goal 2 (I restart because otherwise the game lags and then rolls itself back at :05-:10 and I don't want to lose progress).

For those short on energy, the spawned sphinxes drop lots of coal and iron ore which were used in the previous upgrade (level 2; chapter 2) so no need to top up on those as these will drop in chapter 3.

Visit lower level kingdoms. Level 50s with 200 flappers will crash my game but a level under 30 is no problem.

Visiting will be slow and tedious, Later on we will asking neighbors for map pieces and then later on asking neighbors for artifacts. This has always caused problems before in other events in the past. I can't tell an old request from a new request.
The first request needs to be made in small batches.

I'm on Chapter 2, Part 4 where I have to upgrade the Pyramid to level 2. I can't access the upgrade window, I just see a timer. I think the problem is that I had a rollback after Part 3. I chopped the two Desert Cactuses, it checked off part 3 and then there was a rollback and my second Desert Cactus went back to 14/15 but Part 3 stayed finished and now I'm supposed to upgrade for Part 4.
I tried force closing the game several times, I even changed devices, I put the Pyramid in storage and took it back out.
Is there anything else I can do other than submitting a support ticket?
EDIT: It works now 🤷*♀️

Yes to both - if you finish a chapter early, you still have to wait for the next chapter to open at the next daily reset (opening the next chapter using gems means you'll have to wait even longer to open the chapter after that one) and once a chapter is closed all drops associated with the event will stop until the next chapter is opened.

Do ponds work for scarab gathering? I've tapped a few and don't seem to be getting them (well seems to do ok). If we can continue gathering after finishing a chapter, I'm not sure I see where it will be beneficial to not complete the chapter. I wonder if I'm missing something. I also suspect I'm more of a creature of instant gratification with this game than I'd like to admit. I'm wishing I could go forward. :)

There is no advantage to finishing a chapter early. I find it's best to just wait to finish the last goal of the chapter at the beginning of the next day. It's better to get in that habit because even though someone reported scarabs are dropping after finishing chapter 2, you can't be sure what will happen on the other chapters. For instance, those things we will get from the adventure will probably have a 6 hour wait and not have a good drop rate. Then if you close out each chapter quickly, you will lose some collections.

So you should only close the chapter (or upgrade the Pyramid) once you have maxed out on the drops.
This will help on the final day as you will have collected almost everything on earlier days.

Yes! Leave your castle empty and ready for the adventure needed from Day 3 onwards.
These adventures are important to get more deco that drop crucial items for upgrading the Pyramid.

Hello! It is an event-specific quest that should appear in your Queen's Court / King's Keep after you reach Goal 3 of Chapter 3.
It requires: 1 Mysterious Riddle (from defeating Sphinxes), 5 Water, and 5 Roasted Chicken to start and will take 2 hours to complete. 😊

Oh dear. I did that last adventure- glad we technically have more than a day for this one!

Do you have all the non-quest-triggered items (wheat, glimmerbulb, hearty feasts and pasta etc) for the later chapters? Might be a way to still feel like you're making progress on this Event!

Chapter 4 looks pretty easy too, just more sending adventures then feeding falcons after they unlock from marketplace and then upgrading the Pyramid- so if you have stockpiled upgrading materials it should be fairly quick to catch up! ❤️

Not for me.

I have 2 farmhouses and 1 Toadstool Farmhouse. I haven't had a single Sphinx spawn from my Toadstool farmhouse. The spawn rate usually balances so I get a Sphinx on my 4th or 5th collection from a regular farmhouse (regular, regular, toadstool; regular, Regular- Sphinx!)
I've tried the sequence backwards too and it still just happens to fall on regular- maybe if I had many more of each i'd notice a different pattern!

For my queendom size, The spawn rate seems more important than type of farmhouse. 😊

I did not have any Saplings appear until I finished the 3-3 adventures and reached the next goal 3-4.
The saplings then appeared in my inventory, I had 2 to place on my board from the 2 Adventures I did for 3-3 (lower level requirements).
Didn't get any confirmation that they had appeared from the adventures while still on 3-3, they just popped up my inventory when I hit "tend" from 3-4.

Seems like a Good Morning North American Weekend server kiss of death to me. 😂

I was able to access the game fine until around 7am PST, I had a TON of neighbor requests and visits all morning due to the goals. Then after people started posting here about having trouble getting in, I pulled up my already-loaded CS game and it was still up/running so I did a few actions, checked forum again went back did a few more actions and it kicked me out, took forever to load And then had reset my last 3 crafts.
I was trying to put them back in when it reset, kicked me to loading again... and stuck in a "loading" "check internet" loop of death.
I went off for about an hr to try to give it a rest, instead of trying to load at the same time as everyone else and give things a chance to catch up/reset/fix.... just tried again (~8am PST), but it's not loading at all.

I agree it's probably a lot of active players trying to load 15+ HUGE kingdoms, all those notifs going out being checked and loading in as well as all the actions.
The "try this game" popups only occur for me when the game first loads, I did have to reload a lot today. That's only for iOS though if i'm not mistaken, so if it was a rogue ad then people on other devices shouldn't have been affected?

Guess we'll find out eventually... bummer to lose this Adventuring, Crafting, and Progress though. 😣

Also... Shouldn't the game servers be strong enough to handle this? 🙃

Chapter 3:3 says tend oasis sapling (find more by searching the desert)

I'm assuming we should keep sending adventures looking for saplings (after completing the 3 for 3:2). Has anyone done more than 3 adventures and gotten oasis sapling to drop?

I will send a 4th adventure but as I've just sent my 3rd I won't have data for 4 hours.

I sent out several adventures and didn't think that I had gotten any Saplings. But then I looked in my Inventory for something else, and there they were. Hope that works for you too.

Before it kicked me off (it took a long time to load initially), I received a message that the community kingdom list didn’t exist on the server. I was able to visit one or two more Kingdoms (from visits and wall posts) and then I was kicked out of the game.

My assumption is they are all Virtualized servers.. and hopefully they have a High Availabily option.. which means when there is a large amount of players / Kingdoms being accessed new Virtualized Servers will crank up to handle the increased demand. Only a guess but I assume the HA failed.

Have you gotten any additional Saplings from Adventures after completing Goal 3-4 (which was to tend saplings)?
I have sent upwards of 5 total adventures now and only got the 2 Saplings that had appeared in my inventory after 3-4 started from my lower-level-requirement 3-3 goal (only had to send 2 adventures).

I did get other things like Palm Leaves, Heiroglyphics, and a Feather Quill as well as the standard Desert Cactus, though.

I'm a little confused. This is the side goal I have right now. I'm still on Chapter 3. Do other side goals continue to pop up after I start another chapter tomorrow? Or do I have to get this one done first?

Two adventures, no saplings yet, just desert cacti.

Which Goal are you on?
If you're still on the send adventures one, I believe you won't get any confirmation that you've gotten a Sapling.
They will appear in your inventory after you get to part 3-4.

It got buried with the server havoc earlier, but here's my exp from earlier:




So in 3.3 after you have done the adventure are you supposed to get a desert sapling or does it unlock them to buy as it is still locked by goal? Or do you have to do all 3 adventures to get this to happen, as with my first one I just got a cactus. Going to put me way behind as it is now clocking off time.

I did not have any Saplings appear until I finished the 3-3 adventures and reached the next goal 3-4.
The saplings then appeared in my inventory, I had 2 to place on my board from the 2 Adventures I did for 3-3 (lower level requirements).
Didn't get any confirmation that they had appeared from the adventures while still on 3-3, they just popped up my inventory when I hit "tend" from 3-4.

So, If you're already on the tend saplings goal, i'd try clicking the "tend" button from 3.4 or checking your inventory manually.

And also, i'm not 100% sure but I think Stymie probably progressed on to the tend saplings goal before noticing the Saplings in their inventory too, here's the post to someone else earlier:

I didn't realize I was posting picture twice.

Secrets of the Sphinx is a special side goal, you have 12 days to craft Seraphina (the timer for that goal should appear in the usual place to the right of the mini preview banner in your Kingdom Goals list?) I think that timeframe pushes past the event's end date, so you'd have to be sure to earn all the required Mysterious Riddles before the Sphinx stops spawning, but it might be like the Faerie Atrium in that you can keep crafting until the timer runs out.

The other daily side goals are triggered by the appropriate chapter/goal opening, and are separate from Secrets of the Sphinx.

It seems like the other side goals are "bonus" in that you sort of finish them while completing the other goals from that chapter, and have low reward (just experience and maybe a bit).
I'm on Chapter 3, the side goal for previous chapter auto-completed itself before I could read through and today's was all but 1 Oasis Water completed when it popped up, so I haven't had to specifically do the side goal yet.

You're welcome! Sorry for the quote chain. 😂

Alright, so this event is really trying to pace us out, and the upgrade option for the building does NOT show until you hit the final goal of the chapter to "upgrade the Pyramid to level #".
You can't zoom ahead and upgrade it earlier, and you can't use the upgrade option to see how many of each material you will need and already have (so glad SW has that list on the front page ❤️).
We have to work through the Chapter and get to the final goal to upgrade the building before each new level's upgrade appears. 😥

Hitting farm houses and wells (and cacti if you're not maxed on aloe) is a great standby activity, we'll definitely need the materials as the goals and upgrades finally appear! ❤️

Thanks for the update, HuckleTown! I might hold off on sending any more adventures until Chapter 4 opens, just to stockpile Mysterious Riddles for Seraphina a bit.

The whole community visiting thing is a massive drain on their systems and is aggravated in a chapter-based event because a whole timezone of people hit the servers pretty close together. The HA might have failed or they hit a spend cap and throttled. Oh well. Let?s hope the neighbor visit thing isn?t a similar disaster.

08-08-20, 01:36 PM
Not for me.

I have 2 farmhouses and 1 Toadstool Farmhouse. I haven't had a single Sphinx spawn from my Toadstool farmhouse. The spawn rate usually balances so I get a Sphinx on my 4th or 5th collection from a regular farmhouse (regular, regular, toadstool; regular, Regular- Sphinx!)
I've tried the sequence backwards too and it still just happens to fall on regular- maybe if I had many more of each i'd notice a different pattern!

For my queendom size, The spawn rate seems more important than type of farmhouse. 😊

Ya neither Toadstool farmhouses nor the Overgrown farmhouses have ever felt special to me in terms of spawn rate. If anything I have wondered if they are worse but they probably are not.

I am all caught up now after *repeatedly* setting a ten min timer for the oasis and driving my family nuts. : D

I feel like I'm a bit behind. I just made it to chapter 3 for the adventure. How are folks able to have gone on so many adventures with opening one chapter a day? Will I be able to finish this event?

My sphinxes are also not returning energy.

Quick post just running through, Event Adventure just dropped a Rustic Well!! (Was so surprised to see a constructed element fall out), also got a Palm Leaves (fell out) and of course a Desert Cactus (In the box).

Have a great day all! ❤️

I've received 2 Desert Tomb's, a Rustic Well and (just now) 1 Egyptian Falcon on the Adventure. (wish I'd have been this lucky last event!)
The Adventure is pretty cheap and doesn't take very long, so probably a good idea to keep doing them for a while..
Good luck everyone!

The adventures take 2 hours each. For Chapter 3 you only *need* to adventure 3 times and when you return from the third one you find the 2 oasis saplings in your inventory. The oasis saplings give the oasis water and palm leaves you need.

In chapter 4 you have to go on an adventure twice to get the falcons. After that you have to only go a few times in the subsequent chapters.

People are going on adventures many times because the adventures drop event items but it seems that most of the drops are just desert cacti which you can buy for coins in the market.

You are quite lucky to have gotten Hieroglyphics from an Adventure. We need quite a few of them in later Adventures. I am only getting them from Desert Tombs. In Chapter 7, after Goal 1, we get 2 of them that are put into our Inventory. Look for them, and don't buy them in the Market for 250 gems (very expensive!). The Hieroglyphics drop in multiples of 1, 2, and rarely 3. However, the Hieroglyphics are now what is holding me up, as they have a 4 hour timer. Not as bad as an 8 hour timer, but they are the bottleneck for me now.
I am finding this event to be very enjoyable. Love the stunning graphics. Good luck to all!

ShibuyaCloth, many thanks for the wonderful chart. Palm Leaves come from the Oasis Tree, and Hieroglyphics come from the Desert Tomb. As reported by WittyWitch, Hieroglyphics can be a rare drop from an Adventure as well.

I'm on Chapter 4 goal 2.
After I finished the 2 adventures (kings keep) from Goal 1 and I received the 2 Egyptian Falcon, I positioned them on the board, after which a reloading of the game appeared. The King Keep appeared uncollected, I picked up the castle again and instead of the 2 falcon I received a cactus.After reloading, the falcons are no longer on the board, or in the inventory, I can only buy them with 100 diamonds each.

The 2 Egyptian Falcons you get after completing the 2 Adventures weren’t drops from the Adventure. They just appeared in your inventory.
Try a force-close and search your board and inventory. Good luck!

Thank you, glad to hear it. They used to change gradually as you upgrade each level a long time ago, but not so much with recent events. I was afraid it might have been a bug, because I had bought it early.

Thanks for your answer 😊

I'm sure most players realize this, but before you go to bed, make sure you have sent the knights out on an adventure. In the morning, upgrade the pyramid and start the next chapter, but don't collect from the adventure until the goal says to search the desert. This way you've saved two hours and will have one less adventure to wait on.

The suggestion is to not complete the chapter at the end of the day so you can still gather resources. Then upgrade the pyramid the next morning and start the new chapter. Many or most resources do not drop once the chapter is closed.

Anyone know why the timer is so different between finishing the evnt and the ability to finish the spinx/purchase a Value Pak?

56191
(This was taken earlier; mine now read 10 days/6 days, respectively)


Also, VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU GIFT OTHERS DAILY, esp if it's the same neighbors who you want to send the event reqs to: scroll to the BOTTOM of the Messages queue to return gifts, else at least some requests WILL get stuck in the queue and you won't see them for perhaps days. I have noticed this outside of events with regular storyline requests, plus it occurred in Dragon Story. (I gift my other accounts and noticed this) So don't just return gifts from the top of your Messages.
And if I recall correctly, in DS the Forum recommendation was to stop sending storyline reqs/gifts a few days before an Event neighbor requisition ask.

The value pack timer is the same as the Sphinx timer, which is the overall fourteen day duration of the event. Your personal event finish deadline is for ten days that you have to finish, based on when you started.

Adding onto this: it seems that many supplies drop even after finishing a chapter. I saw those posts and figured why not, it won?t hurt anything. Well, the supplies still drop, but the adventure disappeared. Best to follow the advice and not close the chapter until you are ready for the next one.

the falcons fell, but then disappeared. I don't know what happened, but they are nowhere to be found. I wrote to support, but for now I do not have an adequate answer from them. If I have to wait long for them, I will definitely lose the event, for which I invested a lot of personal money, for which I would ask for compensation if they do not solve my problem in the next few hours. Thanks!

I just did a rough calculation of how many oasis waters I needed. It added up to be 95. That's if I'm counting the Oasis Elixir correctly.
I'm higher level.

I got the same. Am I missing s.t. Or does levels 5&6 not need any oasis water?

After level 4 upgrade, I counted we need 60 oasis water More for higher levels, 35 used to get to L4, 95 in total.

Here are the required materials for upgrading the Pyramid from (and including) Level 6 to 10. (so not counting the upgrade to Level 5 we can do today) (these are for Higher Level players)

Golden Scarab : 220 (for making 11 Scarab Compasses)
Fresh Aloe : 220 (for making 11 Pharao's Nectar)
Feather Quills : 60 (for making 6 Oasis Elixers, 1 Translation Tomb and we need 20 extra for the upgrade to Level 6)
Heiroglyphics : 60 (for making 3 Scarab Amulets and 30 extra for upgrading to Level 7+8)
Oasis Water : 60 (for making 6 Oasis Elixers)
Palm Leaves : 16 (for making 6 Oasis Elixers and we need 10 extra for the upgrade to Level 6)
Sphinx Tribute : 10 (I don't know yet what this is and how to get it.. does anyone else?)
Stone : 110, Wood : 110, Jewels : 110, Silver : 20, Iron : 30

What we need to craft (materials already included in the list above) :
11 x Scarab Compas
11 x Pharao's Nectar
6 x Oasis Elixer
3 x Scarab Amulet
1 x Translation of the Tomb

If I made a mistake here, please let me know.

I did get the Give Wheat goal (Give 20 Wheat), but not give Glimmerbulbs.

I'm on lower-lvl requirements.

Is it an either/or?



Edit: Hey so it looks like it's an either/or, both steps are listed as "5-1" on the front page so you'd either get 5-1 to give Wheat (Lower level maybe) or 5-1 to give Glimmerbulbs (Higher level maybe) ?


Chapter 5: text from top of screen
Chapter 5:
5 - 1 Give Wheat (Supplies for our journey!) 0/20
5 - 1 Give Glimmerbulbs (A refreshing treat in the desert!) 0/30

Just to be sure, did anyone have to do both?


The other same-goal-numbered are: 8-3 (Give Grits, or Give Pasta), and 10-2 (Give Breaded Fish, or Give Hearty Feast).
Wish i'd noticed sooner, I went and prepped all of them. 😅

(Oh well, more supply for adventure trades and elves! ❤️)

I'm having some issues with requests from other players. I check each morning and complete requests. But I often get messages later that day showing requests that were sent two days ago.

For the event, I've had a few issues. I clicked exit after placing the first oasis because my tired brain was thinking I was purchasing them and I didn't want to keep placing them (like rock piles). The second did not go into inventory so I purchased one for gems. (Edit...I must apologize, I just now was able to find the other oasis in the inventory....I think closing and re-opening the game made a difference. It wasn't there before.). My falcons didn't show up for placement so I closed the game and reopened it then they showed up.

I wanted to give my feedback to the designers. I appreciate the work they've put into the event but I'm not enjoying it. I feel like the clock is too short on this one. I'm finding it a little frustrating not being able to go at my own pace. I generally feel that the other event types have better pacing for time. The stop and go gives a disruptive feeling (you want to encourage people to play the game rather than throw up roadblocks). It is seriously off-putting. I'm finding this event is frustrating in a way other events aren't. I've already started this one, so I'm going to work on it, but I am not wanting to do a chapter event in the future. I've seen some feedback suggesting others may feel the same way.

Force closing helps you see new requests and adds the Desert Map Pieces you received from other players to your total.

This is the only way I get the Neighbor requests. I have to repeatedly force close to get any requests to register. It's a bit slow going, but at least it works. Good luck to all!

stormaurora42
08-10-20, 07:54 AM
Is it possible that the 2 day old neighbor requests are due to the neighbor flooding more than 20 daily requests (or however many the cutoff is) and then the system's response being to spread out the backlogged excess over the next few days until it's caught up?
I don't know exactly how it works but if it only sends out the first 20/whatever-amount and then starts glitching, it might explain the delayed ones.
I frequently have to accept the same request twice (both neighbor Quest requests, and accepting new neighbor requests too), and sometimes see the old/delayed requests come through as well.

I'm sorry about the event issues, Teika! Glad the falcons showed up- for the others, it looks like the suggestion for missing items is to contact support? :/
Quite a hassle when we just want to power through.

I've found this storyline to be disjointed due to the presentation, My sidequests auto-completed before I could read Old Thomas' rambles so i'm missing that entire side bit and then getting one tiny chapter segment a day with at least one part waiting-intense means i'm just frantically clicking through to get to the "waiting" part.
The chapter description is tiny (Cleo has most of the page's spotlight- shouldn't she be a silhouette or something for now since we don't know enough about her yet? Maybe her preview and the prize description should be shown with an actual "time until event expires" timer page?) and though we can go back and read that at any time and sometimes the storyline is copied into the forum (thanks all!) I do enjoy seeing it myself in other event styles.
Even though I like the idea of a "storyline chapter" event, I find that i'm not really able to enjoy the story and the actual experience is really... disjointed. 😥

Are the falcons the beasts guarding the temple (whaat?), or is Seraphina? 😣
I'm relying heavily on the forum for continuity, and must admit that I prefer to "focus" on either the Event OR my quests rather than mix it all up together depending on how quick a day is to finish, if i'm still missing anything for future goals, or how long I have to wait for each part.

Neighbor requests are so tedious.
I'm 5 hours in and saved Stormy for last. Still waiting for Stormy (or anyone) to return the last request.

newpam575
08-10-20, 09:09 AM
A couple of things:
1) Sone people started their chapter event later. For example I started on Saturday so I am only on day three / chapter three today. Be mindful of this because some people won't be asking for the first neighbor requests today. In the days to come don't assume they don't need them and decline them just because you have moved on to another chapter. If you are not sure ask or check the level of their oasis. Note, I am checking my game more today because I know neighbors are sending requests.

2) Higher level kingdoms/queendom you need to visit two taverns so make sure you have two out or you will be waiting eight hours between visits.

Hi everyone,
A couple of things:
1) A month ago, I went through my neighbour list and did some serious culling as well over half the people were inactive (in fairness, I've had some for several years). I now have a much sparser list, which of course is problematic for events like this, which ask for you to contact 15 neighbours. I've put out a few invitations and would invite anyone else who needs someone to respond, to invite me as well.
2) I have terrible luck with adventures. In events like the last one, where you have a chance to win a special gift - I never get it. In fact since these types of events started, I've only once ever got the special item. In this event, I have yet to receive anything but the cactus and I've been out over 20 times already.
Now, don't laugh, but I am wondering if there is a difference in the type of castle you have - I have the Queen's court. Those who get all these nice extras from adventures, could you tell me what type of castle you have. (I realize it shouldn't make a difference, but who knows???)

I'm wondering if the wheat request is for lower level players, and glimmerbulb request is for higher. I'm lvl 36 and my request was for wheat.

I played way back in the time of the valentine building that allowed crafting pink critters. I lost my game so was gone for a while. Back then I was never able to get the adventure special item. I've been back since April/May and I've gotten one item from the adventure. I tried hard for the seahorse, but on the last event, I got the reward on my second adventure. In both kingdoms I've chosen the queen's court.

I do wonder about the Baron's tent. I've gotten some nice rewards (4 mint alicorns, 3 peacocks, 1 skunkupine) this month. From reading other posts, some players weren't even getting any show up at all. I do spend a small amount of money on gems. I don't know if that matters or not, but I do wonder about some of the algorithms.

I also had not received any special prizes from adventures until the last event. In this event, I'm Only getting cactus (except for the items that we will all get to continue playing - oasis and falcon). I am not getting any of the extra things that people are reporting. I wonder if these people routinely get the special prize from adventures in previous events. I have a King's Keep.

I really shouldn't complain because I have really good luck with the Baron's tent. So far I have 5 mint alicorns and 3 popped up on a Sunday so I was able to complete the puzzle on the Monday morning with ordinary cabbages. Honestly, the Baron's tent is one of the best purchases I've made. It has been the source of a lot of daily alicorns and other energy-giving prizes which are pretty much essential to make progress in the game.

Just wanted to add that I really like the theme and art in this event. I've added the items to a now expanded desert plot I have that had the Desert Palace from a few years ago. Looks good.

08-10-20, 11:01 AM
I have King's Keeps and I am getting some of the "extra" drops. I do think the algorithms are skewed a tiny bit towards people who spend real $$ (which I do). From a business perspective, I would expect this.....people who spend $ need to be motivated to continue spending! At least in the USA, we have Loyalty rewards for most every business I can think of: airlines, gasoline companies, hotels, grocery stores, other retailers. Soda pop companies run contests with tokens inside bottle caps. And here, gems are intermittently on sale.....or offer event related bonuses. I like the business model that allows one to play for free to see if you enjoy the game, then can spend $ if you want to maximize game return (gemming ahead, getting specialty items with gems, getting Value Packs, etc)

I have King's Keeps and I am getting some of the "extra" drops. I do think the algorithms are skewed a tiny bit towards people who spend real $$ (which I do). From a business perspective, I would expect this.....people who spend $ need to be motivated to continue spending! At least in the USA, we have Loyalty rewards for most every business I can think of: airlines, gasoline companies, hotels, grocery stores, other retailers.

I have the Queens Court and I get a "special item" almost every time from the adventure. I have gotten two more wells, two more falcons, and I just got the desert tomb. Plus I get the desert cactus everytime from the box. I think its just a game of chance and i dont usually spend my own money on this game nor speed anythign up.

Despite not liking this event's structure, I'm looking for positives or fun things about it. Have you noticed the oasis starts off small but it seems to grow? The water is scant and tree small to begin with. And the paw print on the sphinx's riddle page is a cat's paw. Her "hands" are bird talons, so she would have marked it with her hind feet. May be an error but it's cute. I've not found out yet why the falcons are perched on top of books.

I did get the Give Wheat goal (Give 20 Wheat), but not give Glimmerbulbs.

I'm on lower-lvl requirements.

Is it an either/or?



Edit: Hey so it looks like it's an either/or, both steps are listed as "5-1" on the front page so you'd either get 5-1 to give Wheat (Lower level maybe) or 5-1 to give Glimmerbulbs (Higher level maybe) ?


Just to be sure, did anyone have to do both?


The other same-goal-numbered are: 8-3 (Give Grits, or Give Pasta), and 10-2 (Give Breaded Fish, or Give Hearty Feast).
Wish i'd noticed sooner, I went and prepped all of them. 😅

(Oh well, more supply for adventure trades and elves! ❤️)

Good catch!

Hi everyone,

Add me for responses to requests: cascadia59 (T Town)

I?ve also sent an invitation, thanks 😀

I?ve been playing since January, and have gotten the adventure prize three or four times, maybe? So far for this event, I?ve gotten two extra trees, an extra falcon and a desert tomb. I do spend real $ regularly (I figure it comes out of my entertainment budget) but not for every event. More in the first month or so than recently.

And can I just say the forum has been a HUGE help? Seems like every time I have a question, the answer is here somewhere, so thanks to SpiritWind and all the other contributors.

A couple of things:
1) ...

2) Higher level kingdoms/queendom you need to visit two taverns so make sure you have two out or you will be waiting eight hours between visits.

Thanks for the heads up! This would have been hugely annoying 🤬

Now, don't laugh, but I am wondering if there is a difference in the type of castle you have - I have the Queen's court. Those who get all these nice extras from adventures, could you tell me what type of castle you have. (I realize it shouldn't make a difference, but who knows???)

I also have a Queen?s Court and I?m getting very good Adventure drops this event.
(alas not so much in other events with 1 special adventure prize)

Good catch!

I still dont understand lower level. Because I got wheat and I am level 41. Doesnt lower level cut off at 40?

Edit: In regards to wheat vs. glimmerbulb sry I thought I was quoting differently

Me too, and I'm long time level 50 as well.

As for Sofia Deo's comment about spending money - I've thought of that, but I actually do spend money on this game - not a huge amount but I usually buy the options for unlimited energy for events, occasionally buy special decor that help with events, and lately, piles of ice cream and snowballs for the Baron's tent. Still I have the most dried up castle when it comes to adventures, than probably anybody!
