Ok so I’m really confused because the info posted on page one says that Ciara is 1X1 but a lot of people are posting that she is actually way bigger than that and takes up 4 squares. I haven’t rec’d Ciara yet (close though) but I’m definitely concerned about how much space she actually takes up! Is the event info posted on page 1 incorrect because that says that she only takes up a 1X1 square?? Is she actually a larger size/more spaces due to an error that will be corrected or was the event info that was posted incorrect? It seems very odd that she would be 4 times larger than every other event deco/energy dropper prize!

Welcome!
There are events constantly these days.
They generally run for 2 weeks.
(except Monster Hunts/Leaderboards which only last a week.)
The game doesn’t really start until you reach LVL 50.
Until then you will struggle with most events.
(There are lower level requirements for most events so around LVL 35-40 things should become easier for a bit.)
My advice would be just complete as much of things as you can.
The more things you have in your kingdom the easier everything becomes - so always try to get more.
This is a long term game that requires patience.
The first year will be the slowest.
Good luck and have fun playing!

Yes Ciara is actually 2x2.
The info on page 1 is usually a just guess until all the details have been discovered - so that is why there is occasional discrepancies.
It’s not a mistake that she is 2x2 - it was intentional decision Storm8 made.
It’s because her design is big and beautiful.
But we are all still hoping that Storm8 will change her to 1x1 - cause 2x2 takes up too much space.
I’ve “pretty pleased” to Storm8 to keep her design unchanged except for the reduction to 1x1 ... so hopefully they will.

Welcome mymonta!
As the others said, do not let the event discourage you. Typically you will not be able to complete the events for a while. The intermediate prizes for the different events will make each successive one easier and help out your kingdom.
For this type of event, I would be sure to focus on the faerie atrium prizes. If you open the 3 chests a day, you can get the banshee who will give you some good drops. (Red petals and apples were very hard for me to come by at first in addition to the other good drops.)
2 of the chests can be won for 18 energy each day then you just need the 4 monsters. If you can get 4 Skunkupines, that would be ideal. They have the best return on energy.

I noticed a few events back that the Atrium Antics goal timers had changed to match the event timer. I've not seen any mention of why this change was made (maybe I missed it?) but I did notice in my game that it also changed when my goals were showing.
When the timer was 24 hours for each new set of goals, they showed up the next day at the time I finished the previous day's goals. With the new, longer timers, they were now showing up at the same time regardless of when I finished them the day before. Then I noticed when I missed a day, the new goals showed up immediately after I finished them despite the time not matching. I just figured they changed it to give us better odds of getting every chest regardless of our playing schedules.
Of course (as with all things in CS) this may have been a fluke or an isolated incident. On the off chance it's not, I figured I'd share my experience with the new timer set up. I suppose we'll only figure out the rules of this new setup over time but it would be nice if we were informed of these things in advance so we didn't have to wonder.
Spiritwind, do you know if S8 will be offering sale on gems again before this event is over?
The timing of the Gem sales are different for everyone.
No way to know when your next will be alas.
I'm not sure if leveling up quicker is the best thing to do.
You will get a stronger realm by progressing through the Main Story Line, expanding your Realm and collecting as much droppers and other stuff on the way as possible.
That takes time... a lot of time. Just leveling up doesn't make you 'stronger'.
The faster you progress through the levels, the faster you'll have the high level requirements in events.
You might be 'eligible' for more events and such sooner, but that's not necessarily a good thing.
I think it would be better to spent that free energy on Main Story Lines, preparing for the next event, leveling up buildings, raising animals, collect resources, doing Royal Exchange trades.....
Main Story Lines give excellent rewards!

Hi all, there's now a note at the top of the forum about game maintenance. I suggest you work out when this is for you if you live in a different timezone and plan accordingly.
Note: no additional time is given to events when there is required maintenance.
