Summer Event 2018

Pirates, treasure, and rum! This year, Forge of Empires is taking you to the Caribbean for the summer. Enjoy thrilling adventures and find valuable treasure!

Our summer event is taking you straight to the Caribbean in the late seventeenth century. There awaits Pirate Jane, who needs your help finding valuable treasure. Get yourself a ship, hire a crew, and set sail!

Many years ago, Jane sailed under the flag of Captain Kate Hayward. Stacked full of gold, her ship fell victim to the brutal pirate Bloodbeard. As the only surviving member of her crew, Jane is now sharing her woeful tale with you. Will you be able to find the lost treasure with her?

How does the Summer Event work?

The main goal of the Summer Event is to collect all pieces of the Treasure Map, while spinning the Wheel of Fortune.

Open the Wheel of Fortune through the Event Overview:

At the Wheel of Fortune you can win different types of prizes, from common to rare. The green ones are the common ones which can be won multiple times, the uncommon ones (silver) and the rare ones (golden) can only be won twice or once. If no prize on the Wheel of Fortune suits your taste, then you can refresh the Wheel, which also costs you one Doubloon.

Besides the normal prize you can get, you will also get at least one part of a Treasure Map per draw, which will contribute to the Grand Prize. If you have collected all pieces of the Treasure Map the Grand Prize will be granted to you.

In order to draw the Wheel of Fortune you will need Doubloons. Those can be obtained through Quests, which will also bring you additional prizes!

You will be able to complete 30 quests immediately, then you will receive one quest per day until the last day of the event. The daily quests will stack, so you will probably have a few of them waiting for you, when you're done with the initial 30 quests.

Neighborhood

In the Summer Event your Neighborhood is really important, because you all share the same Wheel of Fortune.
If a Neighbor wins a prize on the Wheel of Fortune, this particular prize is also gone for you. If a Neighbor refreshes the Wheel of Fortune, it's also refreshed for you.
What you Neighbors won on the Wheel of Fortune, or if they refreshed it, can be seen directly under the Wheel itself.

Reward Selection Kits

During the event you can also win different Reward Selection Kits on the Wheel of Fortune. If you win one of those, you can use it in your inventory and select one of the displayed prizes.

There're three different kinds of Reward Selection Kits:

Trader Selection Kit

Royal Selection Kit

Pirate Selection Kit

Summer Avatars

These Avatars are available during the Summer Event. You can get them for solving quests.

The Ship

The Ship is a special upgradeable building you can get during the Summer. Once you have it on level 1 (you will receive it in one of the first quests), you have a chance to upgrade it to Level 7! In order to do so, you have to advance through the questline and get some upgrade kits. You can also win the upgrade kits whith collecting Treasure Map pieces on the Wheel of Fortune

The Ship - Lv. 1	The Ship - Lv. 2
The Ship - Lv. 3	The Ship - Lv. 4

Upgrading the Ship to Lv. 7

If you upgrade The Ship from Lv. 6 to Lv. 7 you will need to choose between 3 different options. Make a wise choice, because you can't revert your choice and you can only upgrade your Ship to one of these.
