If your post contains feedback about this event, your post will be moved to the Suggestion forum - click here. * What happens when an event finishes?? Click here to take you to a post called How Community Events Work in the Hub. * Help! I can't see the upgrade button? If you do not see the upgrade button, click somewhere else on the board and then click back on the item. The buttons should return. Force close if still not showing. * Help! The Petroglyphs drops aren't going into my inventory! There is a counter on the top right of screen and all Petroglyphs drops go there. They do not go into inventory. * To get the first individual prize, you need to collect 20 Petroglyphs. * When you reach 20 Petroglyphs the next individual prize opens up for you and will show you how many Petroglyphs you will need for the next individual prize. * Once you reach 63 Petroglyphs you are eligible for any and all of the prizes that are earned by the community (shown on the second row). * The total number of Petroglyphs is updated on the counter as soon as they drop, not when they are collected. * Be mindful that upgrading resets the timer back to 2 hours.
