Thank you for videos and time and effort put into them We all appreciate them

[@wmolders8160]

Really appreciate the previews and Mini challenge spreadsheets. Thanks!

[@raylm123]

Thank you for your event previews! They are really useful for planning.

[@UBERnerd14]

Happy to help! Sorry I couldn't get this one out earlier 😄

@@UBERnerd14 i have 11 eagle mountains,do you have any advice ongetting a lot of the golden upgrades?

[@UBERnerd14]

Unfortunately the only thing that'll get you that many is spending on the event passes

[@rbn190]

Thanks!

[@UBERnerd14]

No, thank you! I appreciate your support! :)

[@Micwong025]

maybe the real prize is the amount of tounge twisters being created just explaining the event! amazing video lol

[@davidsnodgrass928]

or possibly the real prize is spelling tongue correctly

[@crazymexicandope]

Awesome video as usual, thank you for making these

[@jeffreychan8049]

Great video as always

[@taranagnew436]

it'd be great if they allowed users to take/save notes (located on top right of the screen (in a pop out menu)) so players could remind themselves of what to do/not to do during events

[@UBERnerd14]

You can always take notes in a document or physically on a notepad. Personally, I use a browser extension to take notes that I can quickly access. Unfortunately, I don't believe that extension is still available

[@Churly25]

Sounds funnier in 1.5 speed lol

[@ShiftysRevenge]

I think I already blew it. I did all the quests the game would allow in the 1st 3 days. It has worked for me in the past but according to you, I'm screwed!

[@UBERnerd14]

Not screwed at all, just might be a little trickier to complete the mini challenges.

[@karaok100]

I love the minigame in this event!

[@ajwestside7732]

These videos are great, Uber.

[@UBERnerd14]

Thank you! If you ever think of ways to make them better - let me know :D

very nice, thank you!

sorry when is the koi pond available? I don't see it popping up on daily specials for a week now...or have I missed it? Thank you in Advance!

Thank you!! Your video is so interesting, in the future can you try to make a french version ?

[@UBERnerd14]

Unfortunately I cannot, as I do not speak French :(

[@volkerhohne6446]

Golden tickets where good for the autumn Mini challenges, especcially the lat get x 6star chests quests

[@СергейВетров-з8щ]

Rival Challenges​ Wildlife Boosters in both Rivals have been reduced. The difficulty in both Rivals has been slightly increased. *We removed the Mountain Reserve Golden Upgrade Kits from the Rival rewards.*

[@UBERnerd14]

Hence why the golden upgrade is not mentioned as a reward from the challenges in the video

[@bryanmolter9869]

Your analysis and spreadsheets are awesome as always! You might have a typo as it relates to the quantity of Eternal Market fragments available from the mini challenges. The Beta spreadsheets show a milestone reward AND a quest reward giving fragments - totaling 300 (2x150) in the first challenge and 400 (2x200) in the second. Would you confirm those numbers please? Thanks!

[@UBERnerd14]

I confirm that all numbers shown are correct. The beta challenges did offer those fragments, but the live server versions will offer fewer. They rebalanced it between beta and live, so only 1000 fragments are available

[@SomeonesVideos]

I love that the name of the main building was spliced in. Wonder how many takes it took to get to that point. 😂

[@UBERnerd14]

Only two - one of me trying to go for it, and then re-recording it later when I realized how bad the first iteration was :)

[@dryalga4000]

So it's a deer event. A *Japanese deer* event. I think I know what anime the devs have been watching lately. *Insert Noko-tan here*

[@darkout706]

Thank you ^^

[@rogerjack9053]

is there going to be a second mini challange ? if so when ? 10x

[@rogerjack9053]

spreadsheet for the 2nd mini challenge ?

[@LandinK-l1y]

Can't decide whether to use the 2x/3x feature. What do you mean by 3x "relies a bit more on luck?" Does that mean 1x technically presents more of an advantage provided you play strategically?

[@UBERnerd14]

The dart example. Playing fewer games means more variability in your final result. Playing more games results in a narrower range of final results.

[@richardsracingmad]

Are the Main / Daily Quests relevant on Fandom, or is it all last years Event?

[@UBERnerd14]

I suppose both! You can check out the 2025 wildlife page, but the quests are the same as the 2024 event.

[@peterpeter7581]

IN THE SPREADSHEET BY MILESTONES IT SAYS AFTER 24 MISSIONS YOU GET FRAGMENSTS OF ETERNAL MARKET BUT LEFT NEXT TO MISSIONS IT SAYS Mountain Reserve Selection Kit

[@UBERnerd14]

Correct. One is the quest reward and one is the milestone reward. Also, I believe you left caps lock on

[@nikko2999]

In the farm cities cam you focus on yellow chests for the fragments of WW? Is it good idea?

[@UBERnerd14]

I suppose you can, but you're not going to get a lot of wells.

[@nikko2999]

@@UBERnerd14 I will try anyway 😅

[@zinc6-n9k]

Thanks for another great event video. Will current age Sleigh Builders producing current age goods work for the current age production requirements in the Rival quests?

[@UBERnerd14]

Yes, but be aware they can not be sped up with finish supply items

[@zinc6-n9k]

Thanks good to know - they will need a finsh special production to speed up

[@DemokratieErwacht]

Greetings from Germany and thanks for this information. UBERnerd14

[@woeczech]

Isn't Golden Mountain Reserve upgrade on the last quest in the mini-challenges? (in the second mini-challenge)

[@UBERnerd14]

No, that was only on Beta. It was removed.

[@NettyBall-q6z]

thanks inno ; )

[@ShiftysRevenge]

Not sure if you got extremely lucky or you are just telling all of us what Inno told you to say but the paws are NOT averaging out; not even close. There are only 10ish days left so that means roughly 30 boards left and I'm only at around 125 grand prize points. This is for 3 worlds I am playing in and in each one, I have about the same total. I would need 11 or 12 paws per board at this point to get the grand prize and from what Ive seen so far, Ill barely get 250 points. Thats only half way there. As I said before, on a really good board, I may get 5 paws show up but that is not the norm.; usually I will get 1 or 2 paws and sometimes not even get 1 paw. At this rate, I will need an extra 30 tickets minimum so that will cost me 6,000 diamonds to complete this lovely event.

[@UBERnerd14]

I'm not extremely lucky, and Inno did not tell me to say anything. Per my own data collection across hundreds of boards, yes, the paws do average out and it is feasible to get over 4, even 4.5, paws per board on average. It's often not just the boards you get, but how you play them. This event is heavily skill based, and it's not something that you will be a pro at right away.

[@ShiftysRevenge]

@@UBERnerd14 Despite how screwed up this event was, I somehow did the Rival and got enough fragments to finish my Eternal Market. It wasnt cheap either; I'm embarrassed to say I spent over 20,000 Medals in GE to do 70 encounters in 1 and a half days. I am not wasting anymore time on event that cant be won without a massive cash investment.

[@UBERnerd14]

You don't need to spend any cash. Again, just have to do your best with what you've got on the board and play strategically. As per medals, I'd recommend building and leveling your Arc. Once you get it up to about level 80 (a good guild will help with this), 20k medals will be a drop in the bucket.

[@ShiftysRevenge]

@@UBERnerd14 I'm just putting this event behind me; I screwed it up from the very beginning. I AM looking forward to your ST Patricks event guide. I did very well with the event that got me the Arcadian Waterfall and am hoping that this coming event will be mostly like that one.

[@norbertbreda]

1000 or 1200 eternal market fragment?

[@UBERnerd14]

1000. It was 1200 on Beta, but that was changed after the event.

[@norbertbreda]

@@UBERnerd14 Oh Thanks

[@bracolla]

I don't find the mini challenges in description

[@UBERnerd14]

Sorry, it's there now!

[@RobertSchoenzool]

I started a fresh account a few weeks ago, and do not have a lot of attack boosts yet. Is there a way i can complete the 30 fights without losing quest?

[@htbrain22]

try fighting on your CMap, PVP Arena and against your lowest ranked neighbors. But if you aged up to many eras it might be tricky on your neighbors, though.

[@davidbarry6900]

I recommend trying to complete maybe up to quest 24 at most for the Rivals in a newer city. A lot of the Rival quests are simply not possible in newer cities which have few units, low combat boosts, few Goods etc. Focus first on trying to expand and improve your Friends Tavern, as the tavern boosts are the easiest way to complete Guild Expeditions early on (and the Rivals also require completing a lot of GE). You could also spend silver in the tavern to get an attack boost there, if you want to try win the battles anyway. Think of this game as more like trying to pick yourself up with your bootstraps. Focus on trying to get Koi Ponds in this event (and other buildings with combat boosts) so that you will be in a better position to get further in the NEXT event. (Repeat.)

[@RobertSchoenzool]

@@davidbarry6900 Thanks a lot!

[@ImChristi2]

If you're low level, so are your neighbors. Make sure you don't mo/po that day and start at the lowest neighbor in the hood and attack each one. I message them first to let them know I'm just completing my goals and have no intention of plundering them. I'll even plunk an FP or two on a building for them to show my appreciation. Then show some respect and don't plunder. In newer cities most players don't even bother to protect their cities making it virtually impossible to lose. You won't get a lot of points, but it's better than getting reset after 25 fights. If you respect your neighbors, they won't worry about protecting a tiny handful of goods/or plunderable buildings. Don't mess that up for yourself.

[@liarme5585]

I really hate this event becaus all buildings are trash and useless for me and I must play it anyways to get the kit of the eternal market.

[@davidbarry6900]

Koi Ponds are very good, even non-ascended. Mountain Reserve with golden upgrade is excellent. Shika Shrine with an Ally (from either Rival) is also very strong.

[@liarme5585]

@davidbarry6900 traaashh! I have better buildings from previous year events.

[@loganepling5094]

Not everyone is someone who has been playing for years and years maxing their city out with multiples of the best stuff. Even though I've been around for about 5 years now, there is still a lot of buildings I'm going to get from this event.. More epic ascended kits, another flamingo, koi ponds, the new mountain kit, the main building and the Eternal Market kit.

[@stevetheeone]

wheres the spreadsheet?

[@UBERnerd14]

Whoops! It's there now.

[@ShiftysRevenge]

4 to 5 paws per ticket is not realistic. I went through several boards that had no paws at all for half of the moves.

[@UBERnerd14]

It absolutely is realistic. I'm no god at this minigame, and I can hit an average of 4+/ticket, so I'm positive the rest of you can too. The catch is that is an average - you may have streaks of boards where you aren't as lucky or make mistakes, and you may have streaks where every board is giving you tons! It should all even out.

[@Churly25]

Looks like its another candy crush minigame... not gonna play it, for me its very stressfull But thanks for the guide anyways!

This mini game like a sh*t if i want play candy crush i played candy crush

[@davidfricker4064]

This comparison is completely wrong. Because „Candy Crush“ is a popular „match 3+“ game, whereas this event mini game here is a „2+ pop ’em up“ game. But I still get your point.

[@riseupordie6380]

never play 3x tickets.

[@Jrf245]

Why?

[@riseupordie6380]

@Jrf245 because if you don't get paws you waisted 3 tickets, not only that, if you get lucky and get paws but somehow you have to use tools, you have to use tools x3, trust me I played 3x tickets 4 days straight, and I got nothing

[@alanlin5166]

first

[@nfr333]

this is from the wiki on the event. wonder if it is wrong? Three sets of Mini challenges are available throughout the event, starting on Tuesday 8 a.m. server time and lasting 48 hours. These moderately difficult questlines reward Wildlife Coin Wildlife Coins, Wildlife Ticket Entrance Tickets, Wildlife Golden Ticket Golden Tickets and Boosters.

[@UBERnerd14]

Most of that page is copied over from the 2024 wildlife event and hasn't been updated yet. Unfortunately, not many contribute to the wiki anymore, so it's a lot for a small team to do. The daily specials are correct though - I added those myself :)
