The Misty Forest
Introduction
The mists have returned once again, to flood the city and the woods around it. You see familiar candlelight coming from the woods. Is it her, is it not? You get closer, and you hear a familiar woman's voice. The time of the year when the paths between the spiritual world and ours connect has finally returned! Mrs. Sniffles has long awaited this moment! She has discovered a magical place in the forest where animal spirits gather, and she is in need of their mystical help to prepare a brew that is one of a kind!
"AAha!! This is one of the strongest spiritual events in the continent, and I have prepared a very special ritual for the occasion, just you wait, and see!"
She looks very focused, while she traces the last intricate lines that complete a glowing magical circle on the ground. Motes of light come up from the earth, and then you see them - ghosts, no, spirits! - coming closer all around you, and they seem happy!
Will you be able to make your way through the Misty Forest, collect the Magic Ingredients in the woods, and help her with her ritual, and potion brewing?
Quests & Quest Milestones
The questline consists of a story section and additional episodic quests, which start as soon as the story is completed. This means that you will be able to finish the first series of quests right away, while later quests have new additions released on a daily basis, allowing you to continue to play one additional event quest on each new event day.
Solving event quests also comes with additional benefits, as each completed quest brings you closer to reaching one of the Milestones which give you additional rewards simply for reaching them.
Event Menu
Each completed quest will give you Magic Ingredients 
as a reward. They are automatically added to the Event Menu. With the Magic Ingredients, you can obtain various Magical Lights with which you can light up your path in the Misty Forest. With these Magical Lights, you will uncover rewards and Friendly Spirits 
in the mist. The latter helps you unlock Grand Prizes including Witch Summoning Circle Artifacts.
By clicking the Event Menu icon you will access the Event Window which will give you plenty of information and allow you to put the Magic Ingredients you gathered to use:
- Indicates the remaining time for the Event.
- Shows you the amount of Magic Ingredients
you have collected and not yet spent. - Allows you to buy Magic Ingredients using Diamonds.
- Magical Lights (Candles, Lanterns, and Flash Flasks), which are used to remove fog from the forest. Hover over them or use the information button ("i") to see how to use them.
- Opens the Magical Lights Shop which allows you to buy more Magical Lights using Magic Ingredients.
- The Misty Forest which you try to traverse to unlock rewards. Tiles covered in fog can be cleared using Magical Lights and will sometimes uncover Lost Items, more Magical Lights, or Friendly Spirits.
- Leagues, allows you to see your progress through the Leagues (please check the bottom of the page for more information)
- As you see that you have reached 5/5 Reroll charges, and you want to change your Daily Prize, just press the Reroll button, confirm your choice, and you will see your Daily Prize change for the day!
- Shows you the Daily Exclusive reward you can get if you discover a Lost Item in the fog. This also shows you how long it will still be available before it is gone.
- Grand Prizes to be won by collecting 20 Friendly Spirits for each.
- The amount of Friendly Spirits
you have already discovered in the Misty Forest.
You can also click the 
button to see the help information on the Misty Forest.
Magic Ingredients
You start the Misty Forest event with 100 Magic Ingredients and each Event Quest will give you more as a reward for completing the given tasks. Every day you play during the Event, you will receive a Daily Misty Forest login reward of more Magic Ingredients.
From time to time, you will find more Magic Ingredients around your city outskirts for you to collect.
You can then use the Magic Ingredients to buy more Magical Lights. Additional Magic Ingredients are unlocked upon reaching the third Quest Milestone.
Remember that the Misty Forest event only lasts for a few weeks, and after that you will no longer be able to use your Magic Ingredients to buy Magical Lights and earn awesome rewards, so don't waste time!
Traversing the Misty Forest
The Misty Forest is a spooky place, shrouded in thick fog. But fear not, with the Witch's help you can get your hands on Magical Lights that make even the thickest mist vanish.
Your goal is to comb through the forest in search of Friendly Spirits and Lost Items. To do so, you advance from left to right and clear the thick fog that shrouds your view. Whenever at least one fog tile is cleared by a Magical Light in the rightmost column, a new row of misty tiles is unlocked next to it, moving you further to the right. Use Magical Lights strategically to clear out as many tiles as possible and collect all rewards you can find.
Magical Lights
There are three types of Magical Lights that will help you advance in the Misty Forest:
Candles uncover one patch of fog at a time and can only be used on tiles that are still covered in mist.
Lanterns clear an entire column from top to bottom, unless their light beam is interrupted by an obstacle. They need to be placed on a tile that was previously uncovered.
Flash Flasks remove the fog on all patches directly adjacent to where it was placed. They also need to be placed on a tile that was previously uncovered.
Additional Magical Lights can be obtained in the Magical Lights Shop that is opened from the event menu. Candles, Lanterns, and Flash Flasks can be obtained separately or in bulk, with various different options.
While using Magical Lights and making your way through the forest, you will uncover additional Magical Lights, Lost Items containing various rewards (including Daily Exclusives), and Friendly Spirits that help you unlock the Grand Prizes of the event.
Friendly Spirits
Sometimes you will uncover Friendly Spirits from the fog. Find and collect 20 of these cute ghosts and you will unlock the next Grand Prize.

Daily Prizes & Lost Items
Mrs. Sniffle, the witch, has lost many of her items in the Misty Forest. Recover them and you will automatically get one of the possible contents of a Lost Item, including the exclusive Daily Prizes! This year you will have a chance to let the Friendly Spirits settle in your city, with the Moose Bog, the Phantom Bear, and the Lost Cemetery.
Contents range from Knowledge Points, Rune Shards, Unit Instants, and other valuable items to the Daily Exclusive Prize of the respective day. Hovering over a lost item shows you exactly what can be contained within.
