I enjoyed this storybook event
I didn't enjoy this event
Got stuck with neighbour requests not coming through
I didn't finish - random hieroglyphic drops made it impossible
I didn't finish - ran out of time
Had to collect during the night
No gems spent, event completed
Some gems spent, event completed
Some gems spent, event unfinished
Did not participate in this event
Additional oasis trees for coins in the market would be good
Collection timers for the tombs too long
Did not receive any random adventure drops
This is S8 (well maybe the new new owners) annual no-win week event to generate cash for the company. A lot of times these events don?t even have a castle, medieval theme to it which is a good give away. Some will say, it can be done with cash........BUT, is it fun if you don?t sleep for a week and squirrel yourself the whole week in you house grinding out the requirements for completing this event? Ooooooooh fun fun
I don't think I'll send out any more adventures with the slim (non-existing) chances of getting a tomb. With my luck I'd get a rustic well or another pond. And I can buy more cactus if I need anymore. I'm going to just play along and hope for good drops of hieroglyphics.
Also my game has been so laggy and unstable, I can't keep a strict time line. This will be a hit or miss for me.
Lots of calculations here but the bottom line is a lot of players are not getting more than 3 hieroglyphs at a time collecting from both tombs.
Something needs to give here S8! Bottom line is, at the present rate, not a lot of players will finish without using gems or pulling out the plastic.
Please increase the drops from the tombs.

May I just send my spare parts to those who are struggling to finish, please? 😣
I know we don't have any sort of trading system, and prooobably won't (can you imagine the market if old event items became tradeable?! 😍 ) but I just wish I could help out. 😥
Other than struggles with Neighbor requests (accepted requests appearing waaaay late), i've had a fairly easy time this event. There were 3.5 days of stressing out over whether i'd make it (drops were a bit shady at first) as opposed to my usual 2-3 days, but i've been lucky with the Adventure drops for this event. 😔
I've been doing one chapter at a time, no Gem spending but I did Zombie a bit (for extra collections) and I used a Boost on my Workshops to fly through some hourly crafting and give myself a break that evening. I'm actually totally done collecting materials aside from 9 More Hieroglyphics, and i'll be able to get those today. I have only crafted 1 Seraphina so lots of my energy went to collecting crafting material instead of battling- then I just have to trust that the Neighbor requests system will behave tomorrow 😅. And craft the pieces that have yet to be unlocked in later chapters.
Everyone's math seems to assume that everyone's drops are consistent or at least similar, and that they can complete a certain number of collections consistently, and if the forum is any indication players have fallen into either Great, Good (me), Poor, or HORRIBLE drop rates...
Strange to see that a player's event success this time seems to have been literally determined by their luck RNG category for the WHOLE event (consistently good, consistently mixed, or bad).
Good luck to everyone, and I hope S8 is able to make this event more accessible for those who are time-limited and stuck in a drop-desert 😥! ❤️
