Top of the mornin' to ya, Beta!

The St. Patrick's Day Event starts on Beta January 30th and will run until February 20th, 2020.​


St Patrick's Day is almost upon us, and this year, you've received a call for help from a neighboring town. They're looking for your assistance in holding a grand festival to celebrate! Your task is to help the townsfolk prepare for the momentous occasion, and looking at it, you've got your work cut out for you! Paddy McCharms is the festival's guide, so be sure to listen to him as he shows you around town, introducing you to the townsfolk who will aid you in your quest to throw the best St. Patrick's Day festival ever!

The St. Patrick's Day Event introduces a brand new and unique way to collect some awesome avatars, achievements and buildings as rewards, with a completely new event mechanic. Complete quests to earn Pots of Gold. There are 56 quests to complete, 35 rush quests, and then 1 quest for each day of the event. You can also find even more Pots of Gold in incidents around your city. Use the Pots of Gold in the main event window to prepare for the celebrations. You can also purchase additional Pots of Gold for Diamonds if you need some more.

Upon opening the event window, you'll see a map of the town. On the left hand side you have the festival. Towards the center, you'll see one of the town's factories. Click on this to start producing goods for use in the festival. Once the production is complete, they'll put the goods in containers ready for collection. Click on the ferry in the bottom left corner to send it to collect goods from the town, and deliver them to the festival. Once the ferry arrives back at the festival, click on it to collect the goods, and earn yourself some Shamrocks!

Use these newly earned Shamrocks to upgrade your factories, improving your output, and maximizing production. You can also upgrade your ferry, as well as the festival itself, to increase the amount of goods the ferry can carry across the river, as well as how quickly the festival can use the delivered goods. If you've gathered a lot of Shamrocks, and don't want to upgrade the productions incrementally, tick the 'max' button in the top left corner to upgrade them much faster! Also, if you want to, you can spend Pots of Gold to advance your productions instantly by 2, 4 or 8 hours. This is a quick way to produce additional Shamrocks if you need them.

But micromanaging these factories isn't all you can do. Paddy has a suggestion to make your life so much easier! He'll introduce you to some fine young folk who, for a fee, will manage your factories. Click on the top hat to hire a manager for Pots of Gold. Hiring a manager not only gives you the opportunity to improve your factories output, but also automates the production of goods, meaning you don't have to click on your factory anymore! You can also hire a Festival Manager, to automatically manage the festival on your behalf, and a Shipyard Manager, to automate the shipment of goods to the festival.

Now this is all great, but what's in it for you? As you'll see, along the top of the event window, there are a list of three tasks. Completing a task will prompt you to collect the task, which will contribute progress towards your Grand Prize. Collect 25 tasks to earn the Grand Prize reward! If you're not sure what you need to do for a task, click on the arrow on the right side of the list for a full overview.

Once you complete a task, click to collect it, and it will be replaced with a new task, allowing you to work towards more Grand Prize progress. Eventually, however, Paddy won't have any more tasks for you to complete. Once you reach this point, click on the 'Next Stage' button in the bottom right to be presented with some end of stage reward boxes. With the Luck of the Irish, snag yourself some fantastic prizes from each box. You can open one container for free, and more containers for Pots of Gold. These costs increase incrementally the more boxes you open using Pots of Gold Once you've collected all 6, you'll earn the collection reward on the right-hand side, and if you want, you can open a new set of 6 reward boxes before advancing to the next stage.

And that's not all! Once you've selected your stage prizes, the progress will be reset. This gives you the chance to start the production over, and earn yourself even more Grand Prizes:

Celtic Forest

The main Grand Prize reward for the St. Patrick's Day event is the brand new Celtic Forest building set. This gorgeous set of 5 buildings with 2 levels each bring a taste of the Emerald Isle to your city. In the table below, you can see what each building looks like at each level, their size, and what each provides when placed next to other buildings from the Celtic Forest set. The number corresponds to the bonus given for each additional unique building it is adjacent to, and the bonuses stack. Meaning, for example, a level 2 Faery Rings which is adjacent to 3 other Celtic Forest buildings will provide not only the base production, but also these additional rewards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


What are the Objectives of the game?

Objective
: Process enough Shamrocks to progress to the Next Stage. The Next Stage box current appears once you have built the Fireworks Factory. This is the only way to reach the next level.
Side Objective: Complete tasks to work towards Grand Prizes.

How to produce Shamrocks :

Use the Factories to produce Shamrocks. You need to spend Shamrocks to upgrade and unlock factories to generate more Shamrocks.
The Hat Factory has the lowest base level production and the Firework Factory the highest base-level production.
Upgrade costs are relative to the output of the factory.

You will need to employ a Manager to level 1 to automate the production of these goods. There are further upgrades to your manager to increase speed and productivity.

All upgrades are only valid for this level.

How to transport the produced goods to the Festival?

Goods are transported from the Factory Docks to the Festival Docks by Ferry. You can manage the speed and capacity of your ferry by upgrading the Shipyard and the Shipyard Manager.

How to add Shamrocks to your total collected?

These are collected and processed from the Festival Docks. You can manage the speed and capacity of the Shamrocks processed by upgrading your Festival and the Festival Manager.

All progress is reset when you reach the next level.

What happens when I move to the next stage?

You will be offered a number of boxes you can open. Opening 6 boxes provides a Selection Kit for the new Celtic Set Buildings. The first box you open is free, for the rest the cost an incremental value in Pots of Gold.
If you press continue, the set of boxes are reset for the next round and there will be a new set of six boxes once you complete the next level.

I don't have enough Pots of Gold to open six boxes each time. How do I win selection kits?

You can win Selection kits as Grand Prizes from completing tasks. The tasks are only reset when you progress to the next stage.

What does the Timeskip button do?

Using Pots of Gold, you can instantly add Shamrocks to your total without using the Factories, Ferry and Manager.

What does the Max checkbox do?

Using the Max button shows you the maximum number of levels (and cost) you can upgrade from the gathered Shamrocks, rather than upgrading one level at a time. If the Max checkbox is activated, but you don't have enough shamrocks for the upgrade, there will be a +1 and the cost for it, but greyed out, as you do not yet have enough shamrocks.

Thank you all for your passionate feedback and testing of the St Patrick's Day Event so far. It is a totally new Event and based on your feedback we've made some changes designed to make the event easier to understand, including reformatting the announcement, adding tooltips, changing the numbers formatting and including the Shamrock amounts description in tasks.

We've also added in two alternate task lines and reduced the frequency that the Ferry bell rings. This is all thanks to feedback from the Beta Community.

We are aware that some of you would have liked to see further changes to the Event, but there are currently no plans for further significant changes before releasing on the Live Servers.
