"Sands of Oblivion" Event
There are Ifrits, Djinns and Magical lamps in Emporea! Also, a great part of the world map gets covered by sand tiles and palm trees. (Therefore we can assume that long drinks and beach bars are somewhere to be found too)
The event lasts for 6 days. Players' job is to earn "Points" by raiding the event camps, sending alchemist ingredients & with friendly buildings speed-ups in order to collect "Magical lamp." (1000 Points = 1 Magical lamp).
The Magical lamp is the event basic "currency", necessary for obtaining other event items and objects (artifacts, units, spell) in the event Shop.
Ifrits cost mana!, they can be bought for 400 mana each in the event Shop, but only during the event.
Event Camps
Compared to raids of common neutral camps, players get much more resources, experience, greater artifact & rune drop chances in single attack on these event camps. (About runes, read also "Dynamic rune drop in event camps").
- Vestry - medium camp (31-40 level), 2 Command points needed to attack, neutral creep: ifrits & changelings, loot:
- an attack adds 160 Points to "Magical lamp progress bar"
- chance to find valuable & rare artifact
- chance to find rune of earth
- random resource type
- Sacred Monument - hard camp (41-60 level), 3 Command points needed to attack, neutral creep: ifrits & flamekins, loot:
- an attack adds 250 Points to "Magical lamp progress bar"
- chance to find valuable & rare & legendary artifact
- chance to find rune of earth or water
- random resource type
In case of joint attack / mass attack, every player of an attack gains 160 (250) Points into the "Magical lamp progress bar". In other words, the amount of attackers has no influence on gaining event objects.
Dynamic rune drop in event camps
- Rune of earth (II) can be found in Vestry
- Rune of water (III) can be found in Sacred Monument, only after there are already common hard camps in the gameworld. Until then, Rune of Earth (II) is found in Sacred Monument
Event Items
Magical lamp - an item that a player gets after reaching (each) 1000 "Points". Click the event icon on the lower right side of the
screen to display the "Magical lamp progress bar". Each time after reaching 1000 Points, this window is displayed automatically and a Magical lamp is added to the Inventory. After a player reaches 1000 Points, he gets a Magical lamp, his progress bar is reset to 0 and he starts to earn Points for the next Magical lamp. (The remaining Points beyond the last 1000 are added to next progress, of course) Points can be earned by these activities:
- successful raid of a Vestry (all camp inhabitants have to be eliminated by the attack) - 160 Points
- successful raid of a Sacred Monument (all camp inhabitants have to be eliminated by the attack) - 250 Points
- building speed-up in an allied city (speed-up only of buildings) - 3 Points
- sending of alchemist ingredient (only sent ingredients count) - 5 Points
