Christmas Event

Summary[]

The Christmas Event is the fourth recurring out-of-Camp Event introduced to the game. The unique Event Rewards such as the Winter Dragons, the Stadium Dragons (from third occurrence onward) and the Winter Wonderland Snow Globe Event Trophy are the main attraction.

For the duration of the Event, a new level becomes available. It can be accessed either from the Camp or from the Levels Map. The goal of said level is to collect enough Event Points by making Christmas Objects to afford the 10 prizes offered (which, once achieved, are sent to the Camp in separate Loot Orbs with "Event Reward" text). The level can not be reset, although it requires no Chalices to begin or resume.

In order to participate, the players must have an active internet connection and 100 Dragon Power. Connectivity issues during the Event will result in prohibiting the ability to participate and freezing the progress in the level until connection is re-established.

Event's Timeline[]

Occurrences[]

First Occurrence[]

The first occurrence was one of the few Events that ran for 5 days, from the 22nd to the 27th of December 2017. It was available for both iOS and Android, and no minimum Dragon Power was required in order to participate in it.

This Event introduced the Winter Dragons and the Winter Wonderland Snow Globe Event Trophy.

Event Rewards[]

The Event offered 10 prizes, one for each tier of points accumulated. Every time sufficient points were accumulated, the counter was reset for the next goal.

Guide[]

Written by Shaked

How are you, everyone? Christmas came and the stage is so so pretty! And the little Santa hats on the lil' Dragons are so cute!!

Anyway, back to business. This guide will be extremely similar to the one I've made for the Thanksgiving Event, therefore it will be more summarized.

Main Rules: Merge 5 when possible, don't merge level 2 Christmas Pines any further until told to! Merge-heal Plains Grass only when Dead Land heal cost is 50 or more. Don't consume the Christmas Objects until you've got enough for all your rewards.

Start by tapping the 3 Sugar Canes, otherwise the arrow above them won't disappear. Merge the Emerald Plains Grass to the other 2 on the right, then merge the Crimson Dragon Egg with the other two to the right as well and you can really start.
Harvest Life Flowers for Life Essence and Life Orbs. Once you have 2 Wondrous Life Orbs, drag them to the bottom of the fir tree island, found at the south-easternmost spot on the map. You're aiming for Elwind's Knoll. Once you've healed it, drag it back to the main island and harvest it for Topsoil and Emerald Plains Grass. You should harvest the Topsoil and not merge it as it got chance to give you Life Flowers. Merge the Emerald Plains Grass for Life Flower Sprouts on the go. If you're not interested to have more Dragons, you can skip to step 5. If you do skip, do mind that you can always harvest the Hills for more Topsoil and Emerald Plains Grass which means more Life Flower Sprouts, which means stronger Life Flowers, which gives better Life Orbs.
Continue to harvest the Hills. Your goal is a Cloudy Summit. If you got already 4 Garden Summits but no Cloudy Summit as of yet, go once again to the fir island. Merge the Life Flower Sprout at the top with additonal 2 to activate the Heal Extender. Drag away all the unrelevant items, and voila, you've got access to merge the 4 Garden Summits with a fifth one and might get a Cloudy Summit if you haven't already.
Once you've got a Cloudy Summit tap and harvest it for Clouds and make it rain. Merge the puddles into level 4 Water. About 5 should be enough. Let the Water have free space to spawn Grass Tufts. Once 5 Grass Tufts die and turn into Necromancer Grass harvest them for Seeds of the Prism Flower. Wait until they grow into the Sprouting Prism Flowers. Merge all 5 into 2 Prism Flower Buds and harvest them for Dragon Tree Leaves. Merge the Leaves until you've got 1 Vermillion Dragon Tree. Harvest the Tree for Elderwood. Merge the Wood for Tiny Cabins for Hedge Gnomes. Tap them for Bushes and have free space around them for spawning more. Merge the Bushes for 2 Ruins of the Sky Palace. After merging all Eggs you should have 6-12 Dragons in total.
Continue harvesting Life Flowers for Life Orbs. If you feel like you don't have enough, harvest Hills for more Life Flowers. The goal is 3 level 9 and 1 level 8 Life Orbs for fully healed land. After all the land is healed, harvest the Brambles and move aside any non-Event-related objects. Move all Event related objects to the other side.
Once you're done cleaning tap all the Ice Wagons, harvest all the Snow Objects, merge and tap all the Christmas Chests. You should have about 4 level 7 Christmas Objects. For Christmas Trees you should have 2 level 5, 4 level 4, 1 level 3 and 6 level 2 Trees. Merge them wisely until you have amount which is similar to amount of your Dragons. If you've got 2 Dragons, 1 level 6 and 1 level 5 Trees would be the best. If you've got more, merge the lower levels accordingly.
Harvest the Christmas Trees for Christmas Objects. Once you've got 1 level 9 and 2 level 8 Christmas Objects you can call it a day. Have a Merry Grinding.

Alternative Guide[]

You can choose to skip steps 2-4 if you choose to buy the Prism Flowers for 10 Dragon Gems in the Event Shop. Harvest for Dragon Tree Leaves and merge until you have a Vermillion Dragon Tree.
Merge Hills for Cloudy Summit and tap or harvest for Rain Clouds.
Create Fledgling Puddles by tapping Rain Clouds, and wait for Spotted Shrooms to form.
Harvest for Fungus Logs, merge for Undead Trees.
Harvest for Wood (level 1 Undead Tree-> harvest 2x, then merge; level 2 Undead Tree -> harvest 4x, then merge).
Merge for Tiny Cabins for Hedge Gnomes, which will spawn Bushes.
Merge Bushes for Ruins of the Sky Palace.

Second Occurrence[]

Event Rewards[]

The Event offered 10 prizes, one for each tier of points accumulated. Every time sufficient points were accumulated, the counter was reset for the next goal. The points could be achieved by tapping the Christmas Objects which could be found either by harvesting/tapping the Christmas Trees, harvesting the Snow Objects, healing the Dead Land, unlocking the Cloud Keys, opening the Christmas Chests and the Secret Christmas Capsules and tapping the Event Quest Stars.
