    (Guide) World cup 2014


    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

    Long search:

    Unskilled explorers: 8 + 8 collectables + 0 or 3 footballs
    Skilled explorers: 12 + 12 collectables + 0 or 3 footballs

    Very long search:

    Unskilled explorers: 16 + 16 collectables + 0 or 6 footballs OR 16 collectables + 0 or 6 or 16 footballs OR 16 collectables + 16 and 6 footballs OR 16 + 16 + 6 footballs


    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


    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

    Lucky Explorers

    Short search:

    Unskilled explorers: 4 collectables Or 4 + 4 + 4 collectables

    Medium search:

    Unskilled explorers: 8 + 8 collectables + 3 footballs Or 3 footballs

    Long search:

    Unskilled explorers: 8 + 8 + 8 collectables + 3 and 3 footballs


    Very long search:

    Unskilled explorers:16 + 16 + 16 collectables + 6 and 6 footballs Or 16 + 16 collectables + 16 + 6 and 6 footballs Or 16 + 16 + 16 collectables + 6 footballs Or 16 + 16 + 16 + 6 + 6 footballs Or 16 collectables + 16 + 16 + 6 + 6 footballs



    Resources

    All can be found on the home island, Trade, Adventures or the daily quest:

    With the way it is stands at the moment, These are the harder to gain collectables, When being traded that should be remembered.

    Shoe
    Banana peel
    Red colour
    Telescope
    Fist
    Corner
    Elastic spring
    Football

    Can be found with explorers, Trade, Adventures or the daily quest:


    Shoulder pad
    Helmet
    Wet grass
    Stud
    Twister
    Grease
    Football

    Cost of buffs

    Tackle = 13 Shoulder pad + 6 Fist
    Red card =5 Advanced paper + 5 Red colour
    Foul = 7 Banana peel + 9 Wet grass
    Bicycle kick = 6 Twister + 9 Elastic spring
    Sliding tackle = 10 Stud + 9 Grease
    Pass = 7 Shoe + 7 Telescope
    Header = 7 Helmet + 4 Elastic spring
    Penalty kick = 11 Stud + 8 Shoe
    Corner kick = 8 Shoe + 5 Corner


    Calendar



    The Calendar updates at 1am BST, It updates at this time across all servers, So for example 8pm EDT. Your calendar may look slightly different to the picture shown, This is just because of the different time zones. It no longer runs 1-30 but by the date.

    If you miss a day, you can catch up but as before it will cost you gems to do so, 20 gems per day for a normal door and 50 gems per day for the special door's (green doors are free to open regardless if you fall behind)

    All of the above doesn't include footballs from explorers, Normal adventures or the island spawning footballs, As these would of course be different for everyone, But hopefully this should give you an idea of what to expect.

    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.
