The diary states 1 Zoe limit. Will everyone be able to get Zoe or is the ceiling at 3?
the way it is formulated
Name: Princess Zoe Explorer (Limit: 1*)
*: Important information about the item limits:
Limited to the given amount per player for this year's event. If you already own the item (regardless of the amount) from a previous event, you can obtain the listed amount of the item again this year.
suggest that everyone will be able to get zoe- but as usual, the proof is at event start :P
Why is "Garun the Trapper" not listed in the "bonus adventures"?
Always has been in the past, as the only constant adventure that gave a chance of eggs in loot (apart from the event scenarios and the expensive chicken drugging one).
Wasn't listed last year either Nog, but does give eggs. They sell it for 95 gems in the event and part of loot table is the eggs.Quote:

The new art museum 3rd buff does it really cost 500 manuscripts??????? It would be a complete nonsense if it does! Tell me it's a typo
Finally who's brilliant mind came up with a 24 day cooldown period for the easter egg tree? Perhaps you should include that in the shop description to stop players wasting their eggs
Easter Egg Tree is little confusing how it works with some exploreres. I found this description:
What does it mean for Fluffy Butte Explorer or Snowy Explorer? They already have some bonus for event resources so they will not be affected? Or they will be affected but will bring less than usually (their standard is 500 % / 400 %, with buff it will be 100 % only)?Quote:
Does not stack with Explorers innate abilities and takes precedence over weaker versions.
Thank you.
They will probably only bring back 18 to 36 eggs each on top of what they would normally bring back. Well worth the 9999 eggs to buy the building lol
Easter Event - We need Friends quest not recording settlers creation
There seems to be a bug to this particular quest where settlers are not being recorded toward the quest target when created in Mayor's house.
The quest requires creation of 10 settlers, my settler total has risen by hundred and more since quest start and yet quest still shows 0 settlers created.
I think it is bugged so any settlers made in the Mayors doesnt count. You have to make them in a spa, village school or university. This was what happened last year so its still bugged and unfixed!

is there another official description of this magnificent event item?
what it is coded to do ?
can you give us an official example for, let's say, Humble unskilled explorer out on a Medium search?
It seems BB does not care about some detailed explanation or example of how easter egg tree works.
I bought and tried it and for me it looks like it doubles the slots for every explorer. Lucky Explorer has 1 slot for event resources, but has 2 slots with buff on. Fluffy Butter Explorer has 5 slots, but has 10 slots with buff on. This looks good but feel free to share your experience.
The point I cant confirm now. What characteristic has the slot. It probably doesnt share the characteristic of standard slots of the explorer. For example, if the original slot brings all the time the maximum possible amount of resource, it will not be characteristic of the additional slot added by the buff. However, share your experience please.
Hi,
is there an official release on what the lower/upper amount of eggs is for each search-type?
greetings
Thank you for your questions and reports regarding the Easter Egg Tree.
I have forwarded them to our dev team for review.
Was it intention for art museum not to include salt/coal in buff? Now I have tit. mines with 3k depo in them and salt from same searches on 1k only.
And C`mon, 500x manuscript to do what that third buff does, someone went a bit whatever (we try and play our product to understand it).
Easter Egg Tree is not working correctly. Once the buff expires the explorers are not bringing back the bonus eggs. Even in the dev. diary it states below. Will this be corrected?
Note: the Egg Hunt buff must be applied before you send out your Explorers. However, if Explorers are out on a search when the buff expires, their event resources upon returning will still be affected by the Egg Hunt bonus.
Also, will the player be credited with the lost eggs from this action?
the egg tree is not working propper - easy spotting - a sceared explorer brought back 28 eggs and the boni was only 12 - someone has go back to school and take math courses again.
the egg tree's extra slots they are just with basic event rewards (random from low or high from the type of search sent)
they won't match explorer's native traits. it might get boosted with skills though
still a mystery
Hya Traffer, problem is this issue has been running since at least Easter 2021 event ( stopped looking earlier than that) so all the ways round it have been tried. If the player has a school/university/residence tribute they can make the settlers, if not then they are totally stuck. Why not just remove the quest next year and replace it with something else?Quote:

Exactly what we suggested back in 2021 but 2 years later same issue exists and BB still tell people to ry all the ways to make the settlers and then to contact support. Surely support must know.
"There is a total of 21 doors. You can open one door each day. Opening missed doors for gems will cost 100 gems for normal doors and 300 gems for special doors."
Wrong description.
Log in every 24 hours to open a door.............................................. .....
I logged in yesterday morning: door not available.
Logged in now: missed yesterday's door.
*facepalm*
No.Quote:

Easter Egg Tree - yes the cooldown is long, and this 10% days reduction per additional building is new, but I used it in the event and it does simply seem to double the number of loot table rolls for each explorer. Love it . As for the 24 days cooldown - I worked out how long it will take me to collect 300 crystals with casual playing and its more than 24 days, so probably reasonably balanced. This building shows that this is a long term game - more explorers = more event rewards : Simple. Keep playing the game, keep collecting explorers each event, and the Egg tree rewards you for staying true.
Art Museum - 500 manuscripts ... yawn ... don't buy the upgrade then. Have only used the second boost "Metalwork sculpture" and deposit sizes seem like 3 time bigger than my spec'd up geologists normally find, so very good.
Thanks again for a nice event :)
What are they and where are they supposed to be used?

A guild member (level <40) got 8 of them from The Grain Conflict.
Tried to run one myself, but only got 10 eggs.
You cannot use them in any way. We have already reported this to our dev team.Quote:

i guess you meant art museum and that explorers sent when buff is active but return after it expires do not bring back extra as they shouldQuote:

Excellent event. Much better calendar. Nice rewards along the way, 5 days felt right for the next quest in the series.
23hr refresh is perfect (no change to previously) for party crashers
The shop had something for newer through to long term players - i was delighted to see museum and egg tree additions.
Our guild was very active, often with over 50 members per day completing the quest, and the eggs helped encourage members to participate.
Although some reported lag, there was little to no lag for me. So i am lucky, although adventure invites / joining could take time, and swapping islands was at times hazardous.
Over all, thumbs up. Thankyou
Wow, Sandycove is busy....Quote:

Don't just check your own texts, let an outsider do that, preferably one with good language skills AND communication skills. Not someone with full knowledge of the game that would "get it" anyway.
But I'm happy with the game, all is fine. Happy Easter!
Event went well, enjoyed it.
2 issues:
The explorers sent whilst the egg tree was still active and returned after if was done brought zero extra event resources.
The 300 crystals to activate it, is a bit extreme.
The first of these needs addressed before next event, explorers should return with extra event resources when sent whilst it is active. The second, although I have many crystals to draw on, I would say this is not the case for a lot of players, people use them up on short letters etc...
Other than that, great event, well rinsed.
I like the egg tree on the whole but was confused by it too. SOME of the explorers I sent before activating it returned with eggs while it was running (romantics, thankfully!). And SOME of the ones sent while it was running returned with eggs after it finished (not romantics, sadly).Quote:

Great event BB in terms of progress for our lower/newer players. Once the more established players bought what they wanted we gathered together all the spares and were then able to help new players get great generals, buildings etc. All went away happy here for sure.
The egg tree is problematic.
For high-level players, I'm not sure it makes much difference in the grand scheme of things. Players with 100+ explorers will get everything they need anyway, so an extra 48 hours double bubble probably doesn't matter that much. Just a couple of thousand fewer eggs to give away :) I did get one, but didn't use it. It might be handy in shorter events where explorers aren't so generous. I certainly wouldn't buy the two extra trees required to get it to work twice per event.
It will be good for lower and medium level players, though they will need some foresight, dedication and discipline to save the required crystals.
Event was very good. Easter 2nd favorite with Christmas being the best.
New door loot was much better although the gold door with verse geo would have liked to have a choice or another specialist preferable an explorer.
Really like the retro explorer.
Egg tree--Liked the idea, but it was not complete. Explorers coming back after buff expired did not have the additional loot
Art Museum--3rd level buff is stupid high for 500 manuscripts to enact. That needs a major adjustment.
Eliminate the Garrun Adventure and Where Do the Eggs Come From scenario. Or make Garrun a egg purchase instead of gems. Have the scenario drop eggs. If going to spend 99 eggs per scenario I should at least get back the eggs upon completion.
Loved to have seen the skin color changes for the new storage, residence, and art able to purchase using eggs. Like to see this skin to the Mayors house as well.
Keep going. A definite step forward on the event ladder.
