NEW YEAR COLLECTION
n all temporary locations for research and for completing special quests, you can get a Simple Collectible Chest. You can also purchase a Premium Collectible Chest. It is important to know that simple collectible chests, unlike premium ones, cannot be transferred to another player.
[img=/images/unit/hero/artefacts/a4/a4_premium_collection_chest.jpg] [img=/images/unit/hero/artefacts/a4/a4_simple_collection_chest.jpg]

You need to open chests in a special "Collection" tab.
[img=/images/layout/mini_games/collection/icon.png]

The chests contain 2 Christmas toys and a nice bonus in the form of gold, diamonds and other bonuses pleasant to the player's heart.

These toys are not simple, but from the new collection that hangs on our Christmas tree.
There are 5 levels of toys in total.
By collecting toys, you fill out a special album.
[img=/images/layout/mini_games/collection/news_tier_1_en.png]

If you do not have enough toys to complete the collection, you can create them.
To do this, you need to break the toys into essence, through the menu. Do not be afraid to break toys, once dropped out, the toy will remain in the collection, only repeated toys can be crushed!
[img=/images/layout/mini_games/collection/news_all_en.png]

Having crushed the toys, go to the Collider section and start trying your luck: you can choose the level of the toy to create, and by paying extra gold, increase the chance of a rarer toy falling out.
[img=/images/layout/mini_games/collection/news_collider.png]

Collecting toys through the collider, however, may fail.
[img=/images/layout/mini_games/collection/fail.jpg]

You can switch the type of toy you create or try to create this level again.

If you need an ingredient that is definitely not yet in your collection, use the runes that can be found for exploring some locations.
[img=/images/unit/hero/artefacts/a4/a4_xmas_decor1.jpg][img=/images/unit/hero/artefacts/a4/a4_xmas_decor2.jpg][img=/images/unit/hero/artefacts/a4/a4_xmas_decor3.jpg][img=/images/unit/hero/artefacts/a4/a4_xmas_decor4.jpg][img=/images/unit/hero/artefacts/a4/a4_xmas_decor5.jpg]

It can only be found in the Krampus bag. This cunning villain collected all the tangerines for himself.
However, the cunning Snow Queen decided to complicate the task, and players will need the some ribbons too.
[img=/images/unit/hero/artefacts/a4/a4_gold_ribbon.jpg][img=/images/unit/hero/artefacts/a4/a4_silver_ribbon.jpg]

Each level of the collection has its own rune and its own ingredient. Be careful!

But remember: the number of runes and tangerines you can use to create ingredients is limited to 10, so use them wisely to create the most needed.
If during creation, creation was unsuccessful, then the rune, gold and essence will be spent, but the attempt will not be counted.

When the album is full, you will receive the prize specified in the Information tab.

For each player, statistics are kept on the assembling of the collection so that players can see the progress of its filling.
Collection assembling is available until 13/01/2021. Upon completion, all chests, both simple and premium, will be withdrawn with compensation.

Hurry up to collect the collection!
