Gathering of the Phoenix Cults
Gathering of the Phoenix Cults
Eggs crash from the sky and the Acolytes make a pilgrimage to your city. The Phoenix Cult, which formed a few years ago, has prepared again for the arrival of the Phoenixes that they worship as divine beings. They are quite surprised when another Phoenix Cult arrives at the city gates, bringing in their very own beliefs, art and culture. The arriving worshipers see Phoenixes as magical beings, not divine. They build statues, create paintings and other forms of art as well as study the Phoenixes - not so much to the liking of the traditional Phoenix Cult.
During this new questline, both movements engage in a fiery but fruitful debate on the nature of Phoenixes and eventually emerge from it as a more educated people that could learn from each other and coexist peacefully.

Throughout the Gathering of the Phoenix Cults you will have two Quest Lines to complete.
The first Quest Line is the Sequential Quest, "Gathering of Phoenix Cults" which will give you many tasks to complete during the Event. The second Quest Line is the Daily Episodic Quest, "A Bard between Cults" which will give you a specific task each day. Each quest will give you Sky Essence as a reward.

You can also click the button to see the help information on the Gathering of the Phoenix Cults.
Sky Essence
You start the Gathering of the Phoenix Cults Event with 50 Sky Essence and each Event Quest will give you more as a reward for completing the given tasks. Also, from time to time, you will find more Sky Essence around your city for you to collect.
You can then use the Sky Essence to open one of the Chests which, depending on your luck, may also give you more Sky Essence.
Remember that the Gathering of the Phoenix Cults Event only lasts for a few weeks, and after that you will no longer be able to use your Sky Essence to get awesome rewards, so don't waste time!
Rotating Chests
There are 3 Chests to choose from! Each one gives you a chance to win the Daily Exclusive reward. Other rewards can be the new Unit Instants, Ancient Knowledge Instants, Coin Rain, Supply Windfall, Portal Profit Instants, Enchantments and even more Sky Essence. It all depends on how lucky you are! By opening the Chests you will also get Feathers. Remember: each Chest will offer a different number of Feathers for your Sky Essence. So choose carefully.
Once you have chosen a Chest, they will rotate and present you with a new set of Chests.
Collecting Feathers
When you open a Chest, you will win a number of Feathers . Each Chest will immediately give you a specific amount indicated on the top left of the box.
Collecting the Feathers allows you to unlock the Grand Prizes! Each Grand Prize requires 20 Feathers to unlock it. Once you have collected your Grand Prize, you can begin to collect Feathers for the next one.
After collecting the 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. |
Phoenix Chick
When you open a Chest and add Feathers to the bunting, the cute Phoenix Chick will begin to move towards your goal of the Grand Prize. This gives you a good indication how many feathers are still needed until you get the next Grand Prize.
