May Celebrations
May Celebrations
It is time for festive decorations, as all people in Elvenar celebrate the customs of spring and fertility. Young and old are outside to have a look at the majestic Festive May Tree, which blossoms in the most beautiful colors. But not only the Tree sparks interest, people from all Elvenar have gathered for a fantastic fair: You see children on the merry-go-round, sorcerers selling cotton candy, Halfling musicians on public stages and romantic carriages waiting for a ride. Come and join the festivities and meet Bardbarella from the Bards College. Together, you will roam the celebration grounds, entertain yourselves, help a few people in need and maybe learn a thing or two about Elvenar's traditions.
Follow the story throughout the Event and win many great prizes along the way!

Spring Seeds
You start the May Celebrations Event with 20 Spring Seeds and every quest in the event gives you more when completed. Use these Spring Seeds to open Flowers. From time to time, you will find more Spring Seeds dotted around your city for you to collect, or find them as a surprise in Flowers.
Additionally, you will recieve 10 Spring Seeds if you visit your city each day and collect the Daily May Reward!
Use the Spring Seeds to open one of the 16 Flowers and gain many attractive and useful rewards.
Flowers
At the start of each day (and after each reshuffle), you will be presented with a new selection of rewards. To give you an idea of what you can win, the rewards are visible at first but you must "Shuffle" them before you can claim any. The rewards will then be shuffled to a different position and placed in Flowers.
Use 10 Spring Seeds to open a Flower. Each Flower will give you Life Force plus one of many different rewards, including the Daily Prize, Instants, Knowledge Points, Rune Shards, special Buildings or more Spring Seeds.
| There are 3 Special Rewards within the Gift Flowers: | |
 |
Reshuffle - Renews the rewards hidden behind the Flowers and resets previously uncovered Flowers. Instantly grants 10 Spring Seeds. |
 |
2x - Doubles the rewards contained in the next Flower
that is opened. |
 |
Reveal Two - Shows the contents of two, as yet unopened, Flowers. |
Life Force
Each time you open a Flower, you will be rewarded with Life Force . If you have revealed the "2x" special reward previously, you will even receive two Life Force.
With the Life Force you are able to open Blossoms on your May Tree. To use your Life Force, click the button:
This will use 1 Life Force and give you up to 3 Blossoms for your May Tree:
Once 20 Blossoms are opened, you have a completed the May Tree and you will receive the current Grand Prize.
Upon collecting your Grand Prize, your May Tree will lose all Blossoms, so you can begin using your Life Force to start over and unlock the next Grand Prize.
After receiving any buildings, Daily Exclusives and Grand Prizes, you will find them in your Inventory
| Please note: All building values and effects depend on the chapter you are in at the time you add the buildings to your Inventory. |
