Spoiler 2022 Halloween Event

[MooingCat]

Seems like there is a new mechanic this time around, there are a lot of different versions of a new "tool orb". The first four are different versions of the standard "tool orb" it seems, with the rest being "active", "bright", "clearable", "unlit" and "without_shadow".

Spoiler: Tool Orb

There are also some new "bright" versions of the tools, probably linked somehow to the "tool orbs". Perhaps the orb gives the tools a boost, making them more powerful?

Spoiler: Bright Tools

Also looks like you can buy some sort of chest / pass for the event. Not sure if this is related to the event pass, or something else entirely. Seems to be in the regular shop.

ohhh Archaeology event mechanics… my least favourite one — takes unfairly too much time

Based on the castle points being 7500, the package will be about $15 US, which would be cheaper than the 1200 diamonds needed for the pass if you just straight purchased them (assuming halfway between the $10 and $20 packages, that would be 750 diamonds +30%, so 975 diamonds). Maybe marketed as a discount to buying the pass with real money instead of diamonds? At this price I doubt anything else will be coming with the offer, unfortunately. I think the pass would be more appealing if it was bundled with event currency, but maybe they are planning on that? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Perhaps you're on to something, a few assets for the event pass was added today, using the same chest image:

Right I heard last year the best option was to just buy candles and not go for the packs hope this year isn't like that too lol

nothing like watching someone spend half as much on the event and get 2x as many event buildings lol

I'm fairly sure that's not true, whoever said that was trolling (un)intentionally. For 395 tickets you got 20 Candles + 8 Torches/Flashlights + 8 Lanterns (36 tools in total), for the same cost you could get almost 40 Candles (10 per each). So, you only get +4 tools (candles), but given how much better the other tools are compared to a candle, that's not even remotely enough...."in my opinion".

I heard people listen too much on things they heard and think too little on their own

fact is
correct used one flashlights or one latern equals at least 2 candles

because if it would be only 1 candle then you would use them wrong if you don't use the candle in that situation

nothing like watching someone spend half as much on the event and get 2x as many event buildings lol

imagine:
he buys the same packages like you but still get 2x as many because he uses a better strategy to open the fields

 

[planetofthehumans2]

I don't use the other tools unless they can outshine 3 spaces to the candle. Usually end up with a lot of the other tools and least candles toward the end though.

They clearly didn't have enough time to paint Morrigan's monkey lol

Like the Emissary maybe?

monkey

actually is a mouse lemur... and that looks close enough I feel...

Orbs could be replacing the Jokers boxes on the Calendar.
With the 4 portraits and no leagues in the Halloween this would mean:
1 portrait for completing the Rush Quests
1 portrait for completing the Daily Quests
1 portrait for completing all the Collectors Quests once
& 1 portrait for completing the Calendar

two limited buildings?

active?	inactive
(2x2)
(1x1)

 

[CrashBoom]

they really like that new limited building feature

 

[Deleted User - 57457]

Too bad that the temporary active buildings looking awesome but only useful for less then a week.

 

[Astrid]

2 temporary buildings ? that's a shame.

But I hope the main building will be very good, thank God we won't be having a set that completely ruined the last year event.

 

[MooingCat]

Yeah I have to agree, even if the building was god-tier it would still suck to have to delete it after a few days. Might as well just add back the event hub with these rewards and make them unlockable if you get the event pass. Being tied to a building makes both the boost and building worse.

I'm guessing these will be locked behind the event pass as the other limited buildings. Personally I haven't been a fan of the look of any of the limited buildings (including these tbh), but it's a shame nonetheless that artists have to make these designs for building that will hardly be used at all.

It is what it is, I suppose ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is there a topic with more info on limited buildings? I haven't been paying attention to FoE for a while and last I saw something about it were some concept images with some hand written stuff on it.
