Ok, this event has been very frustrating, and almost led to me quitting entirely, but now I have 2 two fully upgraded bears built, 8 artifacts in the bank and see the GP after the next artifact is another Brown Bear, so for the space of a Vallorian Valor, most likely in the remaining days instead of building the 3rd Bear I may well be able to have 2 Brown Bears instead. As a fighter that is nice.
As my pocket got FOMO, I've spent £20 I didn't intend to last week, but have learned and will not be doing that again.
No time boosters left but I always spun chests for keys or time boosters where available, the lowest per star if not. Despite being end game I started the event with 505 province solved and another 10 open, and now have 525 province solved and 3 open.
Also I have had to put in 2 huge tournament scores last week 2nd on EN1 and this week around 10th currently to do the huge amount of relics/encounters quests. This has only been possible because I had a good supply of the 2x2 military boost buildings, supply instants and time boosters for instatroops, and am very good at fighting both manual and auto from years of practice.
I also scratch built 3 extra workshops as soon as the event was on beta and the requirement I saw was necessary, so 2 weeks before anyone who doesn't read beta. Again only possible because I upgraded my Builder hut in my early naive days of playing. That is my biggest concern for other players. Luckily I continued to build them despite the alteration in beta. It meant I could hold 5 toolbox.
To be fair,
@Muf-Muf Inno must assume most players only have 2 builders and a level 2 Magic Academy.
