The Buff adsventures are RANDOM, you might get the same adventure behind another door

1) Drop rates for searches will be added on the first day of the event ( after 24hrs )

2) Loot from cambat adventures will be added upon start of the event ( loot may differ from screenshot due to drop rate )
2) Reward for Buff-adventures will be visable in your quest book ( reward will be presents - quest reward )

capt_tuvak
03.12.14, 11:22
so they will be as worthless as the loot from PvP/e ie the cost doing them outweighs the return

This thread is about the Christmas event. Please keep PvP comments to the PvP thread

1) Drop rates for searches will be added on the first day of the event ( after 24hrs )

on very long 0-20-35 with sturdy shovel 9% 0-28-49

When we apply the new buffs to the rarity provision house, will they be there to stay even after the event, permenantly?
especially the 24h irma buff?

03.12.14, 23:22
I think the recipies will be permament, but wouldn't be surprised if they're only temporary tbh.

Hi guys, new player here. Can somebody tell me how things change during events in regard to buying stuff at the Merchant. Rarity Provision House, scouts, coal recyclers, are these easier to get during events? I have no idea how many Presenst can a lvl31 player get during the event..

Fhearghus
04.12.14, 22:22
Depending on how many effort you put in, events are great for getting extra buildings , ...
At level 31+ you should be able to get most out of the event shop by using trade, doing quests, sending explorer(s) and doing adventures.

Hi Fheargus

The buff adventures are level related and might differ from the map i posted --> i posted ( as lvl 50 ) those maps, lower level maps will be added today

cheaper than the gem/present packages... interesting but still not tempting but it does show BB learnt

except you can also get 0 presents ;)

Have check on combat simulator and 120 r and 100 elite should provide attack that has only recruit loss

And same for last camp on Save the Christmas Feast, otherwise you will lose elites.

And that is correct - loot from save the Christmas feast. No pressies

As you pointed out, the map randomly generates when opening the adv, so you might get a different map for the first buff adventure ( can be the second , or even another .. in the guide )
I can only tell you to be carefull and check which maps it loads and DO NOT make buffs in advance if you haven't started the adventure yet.

One thing I have not seen asked anywhere is does Christmas Feast and Stolen Sleigh when played under premium time give more rewards and to that matter Getting into the Christmas Spirit too?

For those who had trouble with the " getting into the Christmas spirit " adventure ( quest )
This quest will finish once you completed the second adventure you get from the callender.

Also, the buff-cost for these adventures has been updated.

14.12.14, 16:07
Is there a guide detailing how many 'buffs' are needed for each 'buff adventure'? I don't want to be left with useless buffs after the event. We had something like that for the World Cup event which was really helpful.

What happens to the Christmas Adventure buffs in my Star Menu?
The buffs can still be used to play the Adventures.
For a refund of the production resources, the buff has to be applied to the Mayor's house.

That should be the Event DQ. I think it's random.

When does the evildoer quest chain start? I finished the "Horses can Fly" quest and it didn't spawn the next quest chain.

Be very careful. I got a quest in the evildoer chain 'complete 1 experience adventure' . So I did Dark Priests as that is an experience quest but upon finishing it still says I have not done it. I am just going to wait and see what happens to others.

Since this hasn't been stated clearly anywhere in this thread:

On 25 November BB said they had "adjusted" some of the adventures. Although it was never mentioned how, what has happened is that Dark Priests is now a mini adventure and Stealing from the Rich is a resource adventure. I don't know what else has changed but these two are NOT experience adventures any more.

Players are now expected to realise that the icon in the bottom right corner of the star menu adventure graphics now tells you what type the adventures are. A "star" means experience.

Players are also expected to realise that the text description of the adventures has NOT been changed and is now wrong for at least DP and SFTR.

In summary: look at the icon, don't read the text.

My Christmas quest chain has stopped for a few days. I think I had only done the first one. I'd not gotten the one with the Epic adventure (lvl 50 here) for sure. No Christmas daily quest as well. Have posted to support, however, not sure if anyone would still be working today :( I'd done all three buff adventures that's been given.

Gerontius, is there a list of what all the icons and colours for the adventures means?

So, is it worth spending all my pressies on PVP recipes? Or would I be better off getting grout, what are you doing?

After buying the buildings I needed/wanted, I've only bothered with the recipes for Irma's feast; stop buff; and small glue. The PvP recipes would have been the last choice as a) I loathe PvP and b) from what I understand reading (e.g. other people's comments) those PvP buildings will never require buffs unless the owner is a "must have that immediately" mentality (and imho that mentality rarely makes a long-term TSO player).

Despite not having an army of explorers I've accumulated a couple of thousand additional presents so the choice is a) give them away b) save them till next year hoping something better may come along c) spend them on grout: of those choices grout appears to be the least of the evils - and after a couple more years playing under the new loot tables one may get enough granite to upgrade to level 6 :)

My initial thought is to save them, as I am on level 44, I am ignoring the PvP and concentrating on levelling up, need a MMA somehow.

Ah, in that case there is another choice that I forgot to mention: d) sell them

Then keep the coin until the Easter event which will allow you to buy eggs and with them your MMA (assuming they keep the MMA in the Easter event shop).

Of course also at Easter it is very important to save for the Lucky Explorer(s) (if available) ... but this is getting a bit too far off-topic for a thread entitled "[Guide] Christmas event 2014" - I hope Fhearghus will forgive me :)

Hello

I did not found the answer for question if the Aunt Irma's Gift Baskets will be available after end of this event.
I did found that most probably it will be not available to produce in the Adv. Provision house anymore.
But what will happen to the produced buffs in the star menu ?

If I create 25x25 Aunt Irma's Gift Baskets will they stay in the menu after this event or will they disappear ?

thank you for your answer/s

Any number of Aunt Irma's Gift Baskets can be made in the (normal) Provision House and they appear in your star menu from whence you can use them at any time (forever)

If you buy the recipes for the new Aunt Irma's Feast and "use" it on your Rarity Provision House from that time you can make as many of those as you want of those at any time in the future - the recipe will never disappear unless BB go back on their promises! Likewise any Feasts you make will appear in your star menu until you want to use them.

Hoping that this makes things clearer for you

Check the star menu's buff tab. There should be a Golden Present. Click on it and you'll receive your reward (gingerbread house + special gold mine)
After that they'll be located in the ressource tab of the star menu.

You will have a box near the bottom of the buff tab in star menu, open it and your gingerbread house will be found near the bottom of the misc menu in star tab.
