The Great Excavation
Introduction
The Buried City is safe at last! With the help of all races, Barchanni and his people survived the devastating Earthquake. Some say the Earthquake was both a Curse and a Blessing for it also brought the Ancient History of the City to the surface. Now, once again, we grab our digging equipment and best spells to dig deeper into the Earth. This time, we are excavating to discover the lost story of the Founders of this Settlement.
Barchanni is a young half-amuni that serves currently as a scout in the outpost of the underground city.
Long years of military training made Barchanni a proficient fighter. He made use of his survival training by joining exploration and rescue parties. He cares about his people amongst anything else and he is always ready to willingly give his life for the safety and prosperity of his people.
Now that we saved their City, they continue the excavation to recover their long lost History

Provisions
You start The Buried City event with 50 Provisions and each Event Quest will give you more as a reward for completing the given tasks. Additionally, you will receive 35 Provisions if you visit your city each day and collect the Daily Event Reward!
Also, from time to time, you will find more Provisions around your city outskirts for you to collect.
You can then use the Provisions to buy more Digging Tools. Additional Provisions are unlocked upon reaching the first Quest Milestone.
Remember that The Buried City event only lasts for a few weeks! After this you will no longer be able to use your Provisions to buy Digging Tools and earn awesome rewards, so don't waste time!
Digging Site
The buried city is, well, buried, but fear not, you will have the help of Barchanni and the Digging Tools to unearth the hidden rewards!
Your goal is to explore the buried city in search for Amuni Knowledge and Buried Treasures. To do so, you advance from left to right and clear the dirt from the tiles that conceal precious treasures. Whenever at least one dirt tile is cleared by a Digging Tool in the rightmost column, a new row of dirt tiles is unlocked next to it, moving you further to the right. Use the Digging Tools strategically to clear out as many tiles as possible and collect all rewards you can find.
Digging Tools
There are three types of Digging Tools that will help you clear the dirt in The Buried City:
- Shovel is used to clear one dirt tile and it can only be used on tiles that are still covered by dirt.
- Bottled Wind clears a single column of dirt tiles from top to bottom, unless its power is interrupted by an obstacle. It needs to be placed on a tile that was previously uncovered.
- Vacuum Vial removes the dirt on all tiles directly adjacent to where it was placed. It also needs to be placed on a tile that was previously uncovered.
Additional Digging Tools can be obtained in the Amuni Shop that is opened from the event menu. Shovel, Bottled Wind, and Vacuum Vial can be obtained separately or in bulk using various different options.
While using Digging Tools and making your way through the Buried City, you will uncover additional Digging Tools, Buried Treasures containing various rewards (including Daily Exclusives) and Amuni Knowledge that helps you unlock the Grand Prizes of the event.
Amuni Knowledge
Sometimes you will unearth Amuni Knowledge from the dirt tiles. Find and collect 20 pieces of this precious Knowledge and you will unlock the next Grand Prize.
