This Event is here to accompany the world cup 2014.
This event starts on the 12th/13th of June and will end on the 15th of July
Some things I could do with feedback on is Lucky explorer returns : length of search, skills and the exact returns please
It takes elements from previous events such as, Euro 2012 and Christmas 2013, From the Euros we borrow the adventure maps, But instead of fighting camps we must use buffs from our provision house/rarity provision house to do battle against skills.
From the Christmas 2013 event we take the popular event calendar, In here we find lots of goodies, ranging from normal everyday resources (normal shaded squares) To Special rewards for example floaters (highlighted squares) The 7 new adventures are hidden behind the 7 green doors.
I am going to run through a few tips that I feel could benefit others.
TIPS
Please do not start any football matches until a quest requests that you do, It is creating many issues in the game for players and is very simple to avoid.
Going by early football price indications it is looking likely that selling 2499 footballs, You could easily get way more coin that a friary sells for on the TO. at least on newfoundland anyway, This is not by a small margin either!! Please spend wisely as you don't want to look back in 6 months with regrets. (please do your own calculations based on To prices)
Try to upgrade your Provision house to at least level 3 or 4.
You must be level 16 to be able to play this, But fear not you have time to level up!! Get cracking.
For the newer player amongst us, Try to buy/gain as many explorers as you can, Upgrade them with manuscripts etc. While upgrading them aim for the treasure search time reductions and find more treasure, The event will be upon us soon use the time to prepare.
While on test I did the adventures as I earned them, one at a time day by day. This taught me that I wasn't really maximising the possible football income, Instead it would be far more efficient to save all the adventures up and do them in a 24hour period while using a premium time buff. You can do this one of two ways, Either ignore the quest chains till your ready, Or where it says "begin the practice match" just start a random normal adventure, this will let you continue.
The first thing your going to be confronted with when you log in for the first morning of the event will be, New collectables and a new quest, Please refrain from collecting all your collectables right away, In that first quest chain you will find (example) "find a fist on your home island" However if you have already found them all its going to be a long 8 hour wait for the respawn.
You can use the new buff in the merchant under epic items its called "Rain of arrows" at a cost of 120 star coins. If you are going to use these I would advise you to save them for the harder matches (goalkeepers) seem to be a good option to kill off with these as one ROA clears the entire camp.
I would advise you not to start the adventures until you know you can complete them, If you start one and cant finish it, You are going to end up getting locked in and unable to play your regular adventures, Its not like you can just send an extra gen over with more troops, It can be a long wait for explorers to return or collectables to respawn.
You will be creating your buffs either in the provision house or the rarity provision house, These do offer the same buffs the costs are identical so its whatever is convenient for you, All the resources needed can be self found from either explorers, Quests or on your island, Normal adventures, You can also trade for them.
You can gain footballs in a number of ways, First up by finding them on your home island, much the same as you can find herbs, Also by sending your explorers on treasure hunts, Third by completing the quest chain/adventures, Finding them behind the calendar doors, normal adventures and trading for them.
Each skill has 2 buffs that can remove it, You only need to create one buff per skill, Lower down I have written for example (Red card/Foul) Where this is written you only need to create one of them two choices. If you see this * followed by a number, This indicates there is more than one skill, therefore multiple buffs are required.
The first quest chain has a sub quest called "Championship scout" this requires you to find items via short treasure search's (see below for more info), Bare this in mind when you first log in and start to send your explorers out.
As with all other events it is possible to gain footballs after the event finishes via explorers, Make sure you send out your explorers on the longest possible treasure search just before the last maintenance. That last day I personally will be using short/medium search's to utilize as much of the time I can, before send them all out on very long search's as late as possible, Timing is everything here!
It stands to reason that the price of adventures will go up some during the event (normal adventures) Due to everyone's explorers doing treasure search's and none looking for adventures. I would also expect granite to go up in value too, as people try and upgrade to level 6. I know time is running short now, prepare as best you can.
The event will refer to "strikers" and "forwards", Treat these as the same position.
Explorers
The upgrades I used were T hunt time reductions and "sturdy shovel", Premium time does not affect the explorer returns.
Short search:
Either skilled or unskilled: 0 or 4 or 8 collectables + 0 or 3 footballs
Medium search:
Unskilled explorers : 0 or 8 + 0 or 8 collectables + 0 or 3 footballs
Skilled explorers: 0 or 12 + 0 or 12 collectables + 0 or 3 footballs

http://imageshack.com/a/img841/29/hdwy.png
The above roll 16+16+6 footballs is very rare
Skilled explorers: 23 + 23 collectables + 0 or 10 footballs OR 23 collectables + 23 footballs + 0 or 10 footballs OR 23 + 23 footballs + 0 or 10 footballs
http://imageshack.com/a/img841/4418/f0mx.png
Just to make you aware the above roll 23+23+10 footballs is very rare to get, I was seeing around 1 in every 100 search's yielding this result

Merchant
I am not going to take lots of pictures of the merchant and his wares, Over the first two pages of this thread JessieSun has taken lots of fantastic ones, Please check them out :) . I am very happy to see the flowerbed flags this year too!!
Thank you JessieSun for the images!
I would like to point out that at its current pricing the Friary is cheaper if you were to buy footballs with gems and then buy the friary with footballs by 460 gems, Than if you bought it directly with gems!! So anyone contemplating buying one with gems should look into this upon event release.
What can we afford?
The event runs for 33 days!! . As it appears at the moment between the Quests/Calendar/Loot from event adventures (premium time only) That alone will be enough to buy one lucky explorer (give or take a small margin, luck maybe needed with the calendar) That leaves the ultimate question of.... Can I find enough footballs via explorers, collectables on home island and adventures within 33 days to receive a second?. That would be around 76 a day, That answer is of course different from one person to the next.
I would like to thank a few people who made contributions in one way or another:
First and foremost, Thank you BB for the event itself!!

Thank you JessieSun, I'm finding the time commitment hard :) Its a lot more work that I thought possible, and ever expanding too. If anyone has any suggestion, improvements please let me know.
Hi :) I'm curious about this:
Explorers
...
Medium search:
Long search:
...
So does that mean explorers have zero chance of getting event items on a medium search? Or am I missing something?
medium search's are broken on test atm, I will test this but after a fix :)
I imagine they will offer 0-3 footballs, 0-4-8? collectables.
I forgot the doors:
http://s7.postimg.org/viwu4i5bv/Screen_Shot007.jpg
And what is inside:
http://s1.postimg.org/lhu1zcgan/Screen_Shot006.jpg
In special doors u can choose what u want:

And that adventures are not same as in 2012!!!
For finish adventure we'll need those items made in PH:

Thank you for the excellent information so far :) If you don't mind I have another question.
I got the fast explorer early during the Easter event and that was a great decision - so plan to get at least one even faster explorers from this event as soon as possible. That means getting hold of footballs of course. I will almost certainly not have nearly enough coin to buy sufficient, so am considering spending gems.
In the "Adventure Window" screenshot it mentions "Pandur's Sports Box in the Shop" as a way to get footballs on a random chance - do you happen to know what the cost and/or chances are please?
Also in the "Merchant" screenshot there is a "Small Fan Package" that looks as though it may provide footballs for gems - but this isn't mentioned as a way to get footballs. Is this something from previous years that may not be available, or if it will be available doesn't give footballs?
Hiya :)
Unfortunately there is no such thing as a "Pandur's Sports Box" I really don't know what's going on with it at the moment, Did dev's forget? Is it planned in an update? I really couldn't answer sorry.
As for the "Small Fan Package", That is in the merchant on test right now, its 199 gems for 250 footballs, I think its a very reasonable deal.
You are more than welcome for the info :) I hope to do a lot more yet.
I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to achieve 2k + footballs without spending Gems. We are at minimum 1100 from loot (non premium) 270 from quests 60 minimum from the calendar there is 1430 minimum, not including what you can find on your island and from t hunts. As long as they get the balance of collectables right.
Thank you again :)
My reasoning is that although by the end of the event we hope to have accumulated enough footballs to buy a super fast explorer (or maybe a friary for those with too many explorers already!); getting hold of one super explorer nearer the beginning should add quite a few more footballs to the end total.
So a quick calculation is 1990 gems required to get hold of the first one as soon as the event starts. Although that looks a bit expensive when "normal" fast explorers are only 995 gems from the shop (1 1/3 times more adjusted for the speed I think), it's still worth considering. Many thanks.
There is only "master arhitect box" and I bought all 20, and got 2 manors, 3 pirate residences and rest was decorations like rabbit statues, christmass trees, pavilions.
Every week is one chain of 8 quests and laast reward is 100 footballs:

(In this ecample I finished 4 quests in chain.)
Reward for finishing adventures are footballs also:
http://s30.postimg.org/c2ev8iw7l/Screen_Shot004.jpg
but it is not easy to do that quests because u need lot of different collectibles for all that buffs. So you can do that quest whole week, or more. It is good adventure is 12 days long.
Yes, 250 footballs for 199 gems:
http://s12.postimg.org/3l99almj1/Screen_Shot002.jpg
And sometimes u get footballs from calendar, I got 30 footballs 8th day.
Hello Jessie, I would like to know what information you are basing this on please? "Every week is one chain of 8 quests and laast reward is 100 footballs" Seems a bold statement considering we are under 14 days in. Also the second quest was issued before the first was complete to me and I completed the first quest chain on the 4th of May, 3-4 days after the release , So that would be two quest chains within 96hours, Not a seven day gap . This second quest chain cant be completed till the 4th week (28 days), I don't 100% know how it will unfold, but I don't think that statement is accurate
My apologies, I just assumed new chain is every week, like was on Easter event.
No worries, I hope there is more :) but my gut feeling tells me that is it!
Lovely pics btw :)
Does anyone know when the event starts?
BB have not specified a start or an end date yet

the previous football event was easy : get your soldiers and rush over the field. Now, it seems you have to think to make your strategy. And instead of soldiers, buffs will do the attack.
Difficult. Especially for a "no sport addict" like me. I don't even know against who our national team is playing.

If I'm completely honest with you I preferred the euro event in 2012 to this, But above all I'm grateful for the opportunity to gain gem items for free, I know a lot of games don't really offer that opportunity.
Difficult. Especially for a "no sport addict" like me...
I too am no fan of football or any similar game, nor am I enthralled by soldiers and battles and stuff like that.
But when I was young I would play games with my boy friends which were often full of that kind of thing. The enjoyment was in playing the game - and beating them of course, not the fact that it was soldiers or proving that I could kick a ball.
So when I play TSO that's why I get excited about this event - that's because it's entertaining - not for the content (which could equally be green space aliens taking over my island) but because the game itself is good.
Sorry if I woffle sometimes :)

you say a lot of times skilled and unskilled explorers - what exaxtly does it take for the explorer to become skilled?

I am sorry I will have to be brief as I need to go to bed,
Do you know how to upgrade an explorer with tombs? manuscripts and codex's? If you do this is what I mean by skilled and unskilled, I upgraded them with treasure hunt time reductions and sturdy shovel.
If you don't know what I am talking about :) First off open your star menu and click any of your explorers, The tab that opens will have an icon at the top right corner, called "open skill tree" open it by clicking it, That will show you the skill tree and this is where you invest tombs etc.... to create tombs etc you will need to build a bookbinder, Its in the buildings tab, intermediate section, You will also need other buildings to, to create the resources that the bookbinder needs.
I hope this make sence, sorry if not its real close to my bed time.

A Bookbinder (http://www.settlersonlinewiki.eu/scientist/bookbinder/) to make manuscripts, tomes and codices to invest in an explorer's/scout's
skill tree (http://www.settlersonlinewiki.eu/guides/science-system-explorer/).
Thank you very much for the guides.
even with a prem you still wouldn't be able to buy a lucky explorer at 2,499 :(
I think that depends on semi and quarter final rewards, I expect to get minimum 2 explorers from this event, I wont be spending gems or a huge amount of coin either.

When I go here, I know the general system of course, but your not being specific , so I asked for a clarification of your team 'skilled explorer' rather than about the bacics of the game and about your bedtimes :)
So let me reformulate:
You state that 'skilled' find 50% more footballs than unskilled. You havent clearly defined your term 'Skilled explorer' - In terms of finding footballs that it is - that I dont see as explained from within the game. Is it a full investment of manuscripts, tomes and codices in an explorer, or is it enough to invest a single manuscript and in case so, in which skill three slots should the books be be invested.
Can you be totally specific about what it takes for an explorer to move from unskilled to 'skilled' such that he finds 50% more footballs
Thanks
.
I have stated on the first post what skills I used:
"The upgrades I used were T hunt time reductions and sturdy shovel", Any other upgrades beyond that have no relevance to this event and should be just upgraded in a way that either suits your play style or allows you to continue to upgrade to the next level of skills.

Thanks for taking the time and trouble Brayarg. Its a huge task when you have real life to think about as well. Really grateful :)
You are very welcome, Thank you for the kind words, It was a pleasure to give something back to the community. I really enjoyed the testing of it, Only regret is that it ended so abruptly on the test server and I didn't quite get to finish it off. But hopefully it will help some people make informed choices during this event.

How about "Trouble-seeker"? It has contributed with a second loot in earlier events..
I started my practice match this morning, but the ball besides my face, the tab in the provision house have disappeared now and therefore I cannot continue with the quests or adventure!!! HELP

Ravels advice was to cancel it and inform support, I believe, Here this is Ravels own words "Cancel the adventure but make sure to contact support also and let them know just in case. "
How about "Trouble-seeker"? It has contributed with a second loot in earlier events..
Unfortunately I didn't get enough time on test, Its gonna be a wait and see. What worry's me more is no one has really played this since may 15/16th, What state are we gonna find this in!
While on test I did the adventures as I earned them, one at a time day by day. This taught me that I wasn't really maximising the possible football income, Instead it would be far more efficient to save all the adventures up and do them in a 24hour period while using a premium time buff. You can do this one of two ways, Either ignore the quest chains till your ready, Or where it says "begin the practice match" just start a random normal adventure, this will let you continue.
So I was reading its best to wait for adventures to pile up before doing them with 1 day premium to maximize but the event also has a second quest chain too right? so best to wait for the first 4 adventures to complete the first chain and do the last chain with the last 3 adventures?

Hello, The second quest chain consists of 6 sub quests, them 6 sub quest are just complete xyz football match's, In all honesty there is no real reason to even give the "quest chain" a second thought, Its a bit of an unimaginative let down really. I personally have around 6-7 1 day premiums so I will break it up a little, Its down to individual circumstances, As long as all 7 get completed on premium time, its no big drama how when and where :)

OH. I guess there is also a 'waiting' quest chain right? So I suppose yea. You could just do them all in 1 day. Since the second quest chain will appear as waiting queue until you finish the first... I'm assuming that will be the case.
On the test server the second chain became available as soon as you completed the first chain, within seconds. It isn't like Easter where they are spaced 7 days apart, The only thing holding us back is the calendar. I personally think its a shame more wasn't done with the quest line, its very uninspiring.

where do you get the first group stage match from? is it as a reward for completing the introductory quest because i don't see it showing as one of the rewards?
Every match is received from the calendar, behind every green door is one match :)
1st thanks for this, it helps.
2ndly, from what I can see there is no reason to rush doing even the practice match - you may as well wait/produce all the buffs you'll need for all matches, and then blitz all of the matches on 1-2 days premium closer to the end. Or is there a compelling reason not to? will you miss out on stuff in the meantime?

Well done Brayarg great post thanks for taking the time
You are most welcome :) It really was a pleasure to do!!
I sent out 17 explorers on short searches, 5 of my unskilled guys came back with footballs. 4 of them with 6 balls 1 with 3 balls. Is it possible that BB have increased the number of balls found since this event was seen on test?
Yes it is :) The last we saw of it on Test was May the 15th/16th, I have been expecting some changes, Was there any differences with the other collectables? I will update the guide with your findings. Thank you for sharing the information.
While It was on test I did ask BB for short/medium/long search's to be changed so they offered the same perks that very long did (just in smaller quantities) Maybe they acted upon that? It seemed on test to penalise the newer player, I just didn't think that was right.
Geting footbals from normal adventures is that still a thing, or it was droped?
Geting footbals from normal adventures is that still a thing, or it was droped?
I can not say for fact, What I can say is, I don't believe footballs are dropped from normal adventures. I could not find a single person yesterday to have received them and I looked for hours.
Two people on Northisle this morning said that footballs were dropped from normal adventures, but since then everyone else I've spoke to has denied that. I have a suspicion that the earlier reports were mistaken.

I would like them to drop as much as anyone else, I will look again today see if anyone else has had some luck with this, Did they say what adventure and how many?
I can't remember the details, sorry. I was fielding the help calls about the licenses for a couple of hours and the question of these footballs from normal adventures was raised occasionally. On two occasions (and I'm pretty sure two different people) the answer was that adventures do return footballs. Maybe the responders were referring to last year, maybe not realising we were talking about normal adventure not the football ones. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
<edit>I've remembered something else - on the first occasion the responder said something like "yes you can, but there's a very low chance"</edit>
I have found this on the Us forums:
http://forum.thesettlersonline.net/threads/20410-World-Championship-Soccer-Glitches-FAQS
It seems they too are really having trouble confirming footballs from loot, If it was a handful of players saying this, Then sure it could be low drop rates, But when its 5 game worlds.... I will check the German forum in a minute.

"Kick off - Start the Practice match - Reward 5 corner and 5 fist Starting any adventure triggers this, So it is possible to advance with the chain and not start the football adventure, That is if you wished to save them for premium time"
hi
thanks for a great guide
however i don't think u are able to start quest chain without starting "practice match"
Starting any adventure does indeed fufil the requirement of starting practice match for the quest chain.
sorry
ur right
i was invited to an adventure
which does not trigger off the quest chain
my apologies and thanks again for this guide :-)

I see in TO more trades offering corners and telescopes, than there are offering other rare collectibles. Could it be that corners and telescopes are not that rare as the other ones? This would make sense because then it would appear that most of the buffs are made using one common and one rare collectible.
The earlier games don't really require corner kicks and passes, Its not until the event matures that everyone will then be after telescopes and corners, Currently its all about fouls and headers :)
I don't know about rare and common - but I can tell you I have 80+ wet grass and telescopes and 70 helmets, and have found 0 shoes.

I still have not had a red Fist on my island and I have found every collectable twice a day, so I can't complete the first quest.
Come to that I have been given some red fist so that I can make the buffs for the matches, they are very rare for me.

Can BB plz put swedish flag to!
why didnt sweden get eliminated
Can BB plz put swedish flag to!
so I'm trying to work out a rough aproxamation of collectables needed if for the first match i use
1) Goalkeeper: Header AND Bicycle kick
2) Defender: Foul
3) Defender: Foul *2
4) Defender: Foul *2
5) Defender: Foul
6) Midfielder: Sliding tackle *2
7) Midfielder: Foul *2
8) Midfielder: Sliding tackle *2
9) Forward: Red card
10)Forward: Red card *2
this will cost
7 helmet
13 spring
6 twister
56 banana
50 stud
63 wet grass
36 grease
15 adv paper
15 red colour
Total 255 collectables for the first group stage
Costs can come down using pass and header instead of just fouls but I was trying to give a rough aprox of the total amount of collectables needed.
Just a suggestion: wait as long as possible, collecting collectibles, producing needed buffs and then complete all the adventures and quests as late as possible with a 1 day premium for the extra 50 footballs per adventure.
Is it possible that the 'Reserve Bench' category in the Merchant did not get through?
I don't have it.

I don't have it.
As far as I know nobody got it. It was on the test server as you can see from Brayarg's excellent guide. No announcements have been made that I can find which indicate it's an oversight or deliberate. I guess we will have to wait until Thursday maintenance to see if it appears then, and if it doesn't I guess it won't this year.
I sent off an explorer on a long hunt before maintenance (long not extra long) and came back after maintenance with 2 lots of 3 footballs. I think maybe they've fixed the odds. This may be a one-off but it's looking good.

still three slots, 1 * 8 or 12 collectable and 3 + 3 footballs? :)
I'm sorry, I'm not nearly as observant and/or recordive as you - I was too excited about finding 3+3 footballs. It was a super-fast explorer (yes - I did get one as planned). It was quite a good haul with a buff plus a few collectibles too but I didn't count them. Sent out this morning on a long hunt as I said.

Ah was it the lucky? I didn't get a chance to test them fully :( unfortunately the event was pulled far to quickly... I did play around a little with them and if I remember correctly I believe there could have been a 4th slot on them :)
Thanks for the response. Let's wait and see then :)
Tried another long search on my lucky overnight: 20 EWL;1 Harvest Ritual;8 Helmet;8 Twister;8 Grease;3+3 football. Also tried a medium search on one of my tavern explorers overnight: 200 Marble;8 Studs;8 Studs;3 football, but of course that results could be the RNG being mean anyway. I don't have enough explorers to test properly.

Hiya VVidi , Thank you for the info, What skills did the super duper lucky explorer have, if any? :) I will make some time to squeeze the info in !!
Be interesting to see if very long skilled would/could yield 23/23/23/10/10 footballs :) or unskilled 16/16/16/6/6

How do you leave an adventure and then go back into it? I have only the goal remaining in Final Group Stage Game but I don't have the last buff needed to finish it off.
To temporary leave an adventure (go back to you home island) you have to click this button:

If you want to get back to your adventure you have to click the adventure box, and choose visit from the options menu:

Problem is that some camps can be destroyed with different buffs, so a complete list could be misleading, because it would show you only one option out of many.

24.06.14, 23:35
I think I figured out that in order to complete the last 4 matches (quarterfinal through to the end), I would need something like:
Red card x20
Header x 31
Bicycle x 30
Corner x 16
Pass x 25
Foul x 32
Tackle x 30
Sliding x 31
But depending on drops (a few items are notably scarcer than others) may sub out other buffs.
