[Event] Blast: Fall



Blast: Fall



Fall arrived and brought a new edition of the Blast event! Destroy blocks in a grid to win incredible rewards!


Note:

There will be 2 different events, each lasting 12 days. The next event will start 22 hours after this one ends.
The divine in the Tyche’s Crown is the same for both events and his fragments can be obtained for the whole duration - 4 weeks!



How to play?


Click to display
Destroy them by clicking on a group of at least 2 blocks of the same color. When you destroy blocks, your meter fills up. At the end of the level, you get a chest whose value depends on the number of blocks you destroyed.



Special Blocks

Click to display
You can find the following special blocks:

Glass blocks


Destroy adjacent block groups twice to destroy them and to get additional points.


Stone blocks


Get them to fall to the bottom of the grid to destroy them and to get additional points.


Rockets


Create them by destroying at least 8 blocks of the same color at once. Click on them to destroy all the blocks in the same column or in the same line.


Explosion


Use the Explosion to destroy all the blocks on the grid and get 400 points. You get 2 free Explosions for logging in 5 days in a row. You can also buy one Explosion for 35 Passes.


Chests

Click to display
Each time you destroy blocks on the grid, points are added to the chest gauge. The more blocks you destroy at once, the more points you get.


When there are no moves left, the grid ends, and at that moment, you will receive:

A chest that will be added to one of your available slots. The rarity of the chest depends on how filled the chest gauge is.

A cup that will fill your general gauge.


At the beginning, you have one slot available. You need to wait to unlock the other two slots or you can pay if you want to unlock them right away.

If all the slots are occupied, you cannot play on the grid anymore until you open one of the chests in a slot to free it up.

To open the chest you can:

Wait until the end of the timer.

Use boosters, and reduce the timer for some hours.

Pay for the Master Key, and reduce the timer to 0 for all the chests in the slots.

The chests that are in your slots will automatically be opened at the end of the event.


Boosters

Click to display
Use boosters to open your chests faster!

You can get boosters:

By buying them with Passes.

Every day when you log in, with a fidelity bonus if you come 5 days in-a-row.



Jackpots



Heracles’ Horseshoe


When you reach level 3 on your gauge, you can win the new Heracles’ Horseshoe Cross Country.




Liana


Fill the 5 levels of your gauge to get Liana, the Plant Kingdom Divine.



New divine: Oyster

Mushroom


Oyster Mushroom is the first divine of our New Divine Series: the Mushroom horses!
You can get fragments for this divine in the Tyche’s Crown.

Good luck with the blast event!

Will our progress carry over to the second half? Or will our cups reset to zero? I'm 14 chests away from Liana, and I'm gonna be mad if I get close only for my progress to reset
We'll have a completely different event for the second half of Oyster Mushroom's run. His fragments will carry over as normal, but not whatever progress you've made towards Liana, as there have been no fragments offered for her.

If you only have 14 cups left, you might make it so long as you get around 4 or 5 cups/chests per day. The 3rd slot opens in 15 hours, which will be another space for us to earn cups too.

I'm honestly really disappointed to see that our feedback on the mushroom divine wasn't listened to. 200 straw/4000 equus a day is a ridiculous price to pay for a divine that already costs a lot to get.

I'm probably just going to add to it during the 48 and 60 seasons for my trophy, then just comp it to try and make some of it back every day. I probably won't even claim the prize as I value the higher equus from competitions more than the one measly tear that I could probably get for the same price in exchanges.

As for growing it, I can't check the meadows because of the season, but for a 25 acre greenhouse without the employee (checked on a different server), you can grow around 2300, just under 12 days worth, with it taking 6 days with fertiliser. Yes, it can be argued that it's a lot cheaper to grow, but why should I sacrifice a leather field when I've already paid a lot to own the divine in the first place?

My point is, if you are going to charge full price for the divine, please don't try to make us pay a ridiculous amount to actually benefit from it afterwards. It's fine to have a cost, take the fire series for example, but please be reasonable. This will probably be the only mushroom divine I get if nothing is done to reduce the cost, as they are just too expensive to keep and make an actual profit from.

that's good to know. i never go for the new divines cause i can't afford them. I'm going for Liana. I will get her.

There’s a ton of companions for them to be “rare”. I wish I could opt out of them. I already have about 20 default smiley (8)

I really would like to win that hedgehog and wild boar pet. Was lucky enough to get the fox. I like those sleeping 'real' animals way more then some dead piniata pets next to my horse.

Impatiently waiting for the 3rd slot to open so I can use that free key! At 30 so far, but I already have the plant so not planning on spending to get a duplicate this time around.

Do we know how many fragments in total we can collect over the 2 events...and how many are in the crowns?
Does the divine become cheaper this way, or is it still the same cost just spread over a longer period?

one nice thing about opening the 3rd box a day early is i've stopped focusing on wood boxes and am getting better prizes. i've already made up the 55 passes i spent.

I'm only 4 cup/chests away, and will get Liana tonight once my current 3 chests open, and I use the 4 boosters I have to immediately open a new one and play a 4th game. I did spend 95 passes on 1 pack of boosters in the beginning because I got mad at myself for starting off with a couple of crystalsdefault smiley (lol) But they weren't needed, given the amount of days left.

The only good item I have left to grab from the crystal chest is the Titan's Challenge.

In all, this was a successful event for me, which I wasn't expecting. I think this is the most fun I had with this event since we lost the ability to continue earning points towards a chest when we reached the board's objective. It was a bit more challenging to to get fewer points by looking for the least amount of block pairs, and I was never disappointed about the chest contents I landed on because they're wood anyway. default smiley :p

Thanks. That's what I figured. Just double checking. I'm at 39. Yes I spent 55 passes yesterday to open the 3rd box a day early. Opened it 5 minutes after the price dropped to get the most out of it. I've already made the 55 passes back cause I can get better boxes. Haven't done a wood box since I opened the 3rd one. It also helped to save the free key til I had 3 boxes to open.

I thought the event ended tomorrow for some reason so I spent 240 passes to get more chests done, then realized we have three more days. I'll be getting the Divine tomorrow and am rather happy. A Divine for 240 passes? Yes please! Would have gotten it for free if I was paying attention default smiley (lol)

i spent 55 yesterday cause i have a crazy weekend and didn't want to chance it. Since opening the 3rd chest i stopped worrying about wood chests only. Haven't gotten one since i spent the passes. More than made up my 55 passes. i have 39 open with a gold and 2 crystal waiting to open and 3 boosters.

lower time, lower quality "prizes" overall, crystal chests more full of rubbish than i ever remember them being in the decade and a half i've been playing,

trying to see a positive side to this event but unlike Nalu93 i don't like or want the mushroom horse and i don't rate the fancy tack (and not even a complete set of it) that highly,

how do you rate an event that's been recycled to death by people with little to no imagination then shortened to make it impossible to finish without wasting passes?

i'd call the whole thing a joke but jokes are only funny when they're for our amusement, not at our expense...

I'm for sure not getting the Divine now but that's no loss to me.

The Plant series and now the Mushrooms are really a drag. You actually have to pay for the perk. Imagine spending passes for a Divine and then having to shell out just to get anything out of it? It's why it's one (now two, with the Mushrooms) series I ignore. Grayfells are the same way. I don't see the point of them; seems like they harm your game rather than help it since the cost is more than the perk.

I don't go out of my way to get a Greyfell, but he's not bad to have. Mine don't cost me anything, as I only use the Pandora's Boxes I get from events and my other divines. Greyfell give me more for them than I'd get in the exchanges, as it's an otherwise useless item for me, and if I do run out of Boxes he can just sit in limbo until I get more.

I don't mind using droppings on my Plants, as I get more than enough for free from working horses. I've never calculated how much I'd make to sell all my droppings instead of using them on my Plants, but I don't think it'd be nearly as much as what some of their gifts are worth. Just depends on the horse.

Mushroom can eat tree roots though. I'll keep my straw once I'm done with that trophy

With how many free boxes I get from promos, I rarely ever spend equus to get them so the 20p are usually free for me. There are times where I won't get a box for a while so they just sit until I get another free one! I agree on the Mushrooms. Why on Earth do I have to pay 4k equus to feed a Divine I'm paying passes to get. I have a ton of Carns, and I at least get the droppings for free by ap farming my horses :/

I have a single plant divine, and he's the one that gives pass seeds. even then it's too much of a drag to calculate the seasons on mobile (where the top banner has been removed on firefox for several months now) that he can actually be fertilized during, so I've only ever gotten maybe two harvests outta him. :l

I did the same strategy. In the beginning I felt this event was bad, and I wanted to quit it because of the trash wooden chest prices. But I got so many wooden chests I calculated that if I open the 3rd chest a bit earlier for 55 pass I could get the divine from the event without spending anymore passes on the event. And that would be a nice price. default smiley (lol)
