Elvarian Games Event

The picture confuses me. The ears say elf, but aren't Elvenar elves kinda purple or something (I mean the non-burnt parts)?
 
And yet here we are again, in silver for nearly a week and now on the final countdown i've been ushered in bronze with just one point so and no disrespect, by that and my paranoia makes me feel like it's set and to push me into buying either diamonds or event currency to even stay in silver. I will not be forced or swayed into buying anything so shall go without ~ yet again. Excuse my non sense of humour but in these insane modern times i'd just like to think i got somewhere even on one of these games without having to give away $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ugh.

I avoid the angst and give up before the event even starts. Whatever I can grab throughout is just a bonus. I couldn't care less if the awards were diamond encrusted platinum iridium. ;)
 
I am seeing a lot of people who aren't quite getting to that 260 for the last artifact, even with active play, the mailing bonus (which I still do not receive, no matter what Support tried), and all the quests. It would seem you need a lot of luck to hit that 260, and between 220 and 240 seems to be the standard range.

I have long felt these events are being tailored for most to come up juuuuust short. Obviously I cannot prove it, but I would most certainly not be surprised at all.

I got 236 which I think is one of my lowest scores ever. No change in my strategy which usually works well enough to get the final artifact.
I'm going to have some strong words with RNGesus :mad:

236 should put you in Silver, right? Getting that last artifact from the league rewards?

If you can, log in now and get a few more Seahorse Food, see if you can pop one more hoop.
 
On the cusp with 11 minutes to go

Fingers crossed for you. I am a little more comfy at 241 myself (though I had to spend a few diamonds to get there)

Thankfully, the bar is a good bit lower for this event, it seems summertime means less people are pushing it up high.

You've hit the nail on the head. I've done everything right. More so than you would expect the average player to strategise, and I got the last artefact on my penultimate hoop of the event. This has put me within about 25 points of gold. So I suspect that less than 2% of players have got all the required artefacts. In this event that's quite important as it only becomes a transcendent building when fully evolved.

Then the ironic thing is, as we've previously discussed, my reward for getting there is to be given an extra artefact which I don't need. People in the gold section are given two extra artefacts which are, 100% of the time, completely wasted, save for the 4,000 spell fragments when disenchanted. (Or if they are going for multiple copies of the same building, I suppose). They should give the gold people something different which is useful to them, and put all those extra artefacts into a lottery that may get randomly delivered to any of the players below the silver league.

I digress, but the only thing I can say in defence of the difficulty is - Back in the day, events were even more difficult to "complete". As an example, in 2017 we had the Herds Gathering event. This awarded three distinct grand prizes, which is how it worked back then. Someone may have to help me with these names, as it's off the top of my head. The first grand prize was a pure culture building which looked like a big tree stump. That was easy to get. The second grand prize was a culture/pop building. Was that the Grand Auction or some such? That was tougher, but most people got it if they played the event through and did the right things. The third grand prize was Cosy Farm. This was almost literally impossible to attain without spending considerable numbers of diamonds. I think the odds used to be that with free play you had something like a 0.5% likelihood of getting the third grand prizes. We lived in a world without time reducing instants, and buildings almost never reappeared in different places, so if you got your hands on Cosy Farm (or any of the other third grand prizes), that was something really exclusive, which usually implied you were a big spender.

OK I looked it up. I got the gist. The event was called "March of the Herds". The first grand prize was called Herds Gathering. (It wasn't a tree stump. That was a different event). The second grand prize was The Great Auction, and the last one was Cozy Farm (spelled Americanly).
 
I was in the same situation as someone else who posted previously. I had nearly reached silver, but I was over 20 points away from the sixth artifact. I didn't want to place the Ceremonial Pools building without knowing that I could fully evolve it. I went against my principles and spent enough diamonds to get the sixth artifact. Of course, this put me into silver, and so I would have got the artifact anyway, as a prize. However, I wanted to make sure that I didn't slide out of silver at the last minute and that I didn't have to rely on staying in silver in order to get the final artifact. I find it really annoying to have to spend diamonds in order to get something that you later get for free anyway!
