Get ingredients from quests, Daily Challenges and incidents. Use them for baking, fill the whole table and get awesome rewards!
Welcome to the great Fall Bake Off! This year, you take part in a baking competition where you need to collect all the ingredients needed and bake as many recipes as possible! There are awesome prizes to be won, so make sure to take this opportunity!
The event starts today, so you will soon be able to jump right into it
.To take part in the Bake Off, click the bar in the top left corner of your screen:
It will take you to the main Bake Off screen where you can choose the recipe to bake:
At centre screen, you can see the three current recipes that you can choose from. In order to bake one of them, you need to have all the ingredients that they require. You will begin the event with enough ingredients to immediately bake some of the available options, but then you will need to get more.
Getting ingredients
There are five ingredients that you can use for baking: Apples, Pumpkins, Chocolate, Cinnamon and Caramel. The most reliable way to get them is completing the Fall quests. You will get 54 quests that you can complete right away (as two parallel questlines - the second one will show up after completing the first four quests). Once you've completed all of them, you will be getting one quest per day, for the remainder of the event. You will probably have a few of them stacked when you get to them, as they start stacking up starting on day one.
That is not the only way, however! For the duration of the event you will be also able to find them in some of the incidents that you can collect in and around your city. What's more, they will be also available in every Daily Challenges chest (except for the very last day of the event)! In case you need the ingredients quickly, you can also get them for Diamonds.
Baking
Once you're done collecting all the necessary ingredients (you can see them in the upper part of the event window) you can bake the recipe of your choice. In doing so, you will not only get one of the possible rewards that it comes with, but also one, two or three stars. The stars represent your progress towards the Grand Prize that is displayed at the end of the table. After filling the whole table (that is getting all 15 stars) you will get the Grand Prize, and you will be able to start the progress over, towards the next one.
League Table
All the stars you collect throughout the event count towards your rank in the Bake Off League Table! You can access it by clicking the button in the top left corner of the event window:
The more stars you collect, the higher you get in the leagues! There are 5 leagues, and the requirements for each league is determined by stars collected by all players in your game world. For example, the top 1% of players who have collected the most stars are placed in the top league, while the bottom 50% of players who collected the least stars will appear in the lowest league.
If you stay active during the event, you are likely to climb up the league system, while a lower level of activity will result in falling down in the league. As the event progresses, the number of stars required for each league will also change as players collect more and more stars, so make sure to keep an eye on the amount of stars you need to reach the next league!
At the end of the event, everyone will receive rewards according to the league they are in.
Ingredients trading
If you're not able to get more ingredients from Quests or have simply waaay too much of a certain ingredient, you can swap your excess ingredients for the ones you need, at cost. Simply approach the friendly miller in the quest overview:
He will trade you 2 for 1. Abort his quests to cycle to the ingredient you want to offer him and then click the "Pay" button. In return, you will get a selection kit in your inventory from which you can choose the ingredient you want.
As you may have expected, we will have some brand new buildings.
Pond of Fall 3x4 - Culture building Provides happiness and a defense boost. The output does not depend on motivation. |
Forest of Fall 2x2 - Residential building Produces coins. Additionally, produces medals when motivated. |
Mill of Fall 3x3 The Mill of Fall is a special upgradable building. Once you have gotten it to the level 1, you will then have a chance to upgrade it up to five times. Once you reach level 6, you will be able to upgrade it one more time, but at this point you will need to make a choice between three options: Aqueous, Sunflower or Colorful Mill of Fall. Each of them provides different output, so it is up to you to make the choice! 
|
The newest available level of the Cider Mill is the Prosperous Cider Mill, and already became available a few days ago. During the Fall Event, you'll get the chance to pick up some Cider Mill Upgrade kits to reach it!
The Prosperous Cider Mill (6x3) offers an increase on each of the previous Cider Mill's production output.
We will also further explore the mechanic of 'shrinking' existing buildings. This time, we will offer a smaller version of the Rogue Hideout:
Rogue Den | The Rogue Den has exactly the same values as a the original Rogue Hideout, but is smaller (2x2)! The only way to get it is by shrinking an existing Rogue Hideout with a Rogue Hideout Shrink Kit. 
|
And that's not all!
We have also decided to try something completely new this Fall. Over the course of the event you can expect to find a new kind of reward called "fragments" when you bake recipes. These will be fragments of two buildings: either the Shrine of Knowledge or the Wishing Well.
Fragments are a new way of collecting rewards over time! We've seen how many players appreciate progress-based rewards in events, and have decided to introduce a new way of making progress towards some of the most desirable rewards.
Fragments are a new type of reward that you'll find in some of the Fall Event recipes. While baking recipes, you'll find Fragments of the Shrine of Knowledge and of the Wishing Well. If you collect 15 Fragments of the same building, you can combine them into the actual building to place in your city!
Don't worry - you'll of course also still find Shrines of Knowledge and Wishing Wells in the usual places as Daily Specials and Grand Prizes.
As always, your feedback is very important for us, so don't forget to comment here! Please also make sure to mention any bugs you may encounter. We'll be grateful for your help.
Thank you!
Yours,
The Forge of Empires Team - Team Beta
P.S. - Diamonds will be rewarded shortly
P.P.S. - The event should be available on our app tomorrow, the 28th
