MINI GAME - FESTIVE TABLE
Mini-game "Festive table" - it is time to prepare for the holiday and set the table for the guests! To complete the task, you need to collect special artifacts that can be obtained for the exploration in temporary locations. The artifacts need to be inserted into the appropriate slots on the festive table. When all parts are in their places, the player receives the specified reward. List of rewards can be shuffled for gold.


For each player, statistics are kept about how many festive tables have been laid. At the end of the holidays, the TOP 10 best players will get a prize. Your place in the top you can see in the TOP statistics.

In the Mini game "festive table" there is also a mid-server competition!
TOP-25 best players among all servers that will gain the most points in the mini-game will receive valuable prizes:
the city of Manzanares, a speacial pharmacy location, a bonus location, and various other gifts.

ATTENTION! Found parts of the table can no longer be sold or transferred!

We remind you that in order to get into the top 25, you must comply with the following conditions:
The number of artefacts found by the player must be greater than the number of tables collected multiplied by 6.
Applying this game formula to players who have truly earned the recognition they deserve for earning worthy prizes. This time, the coefficient for participation in the mid-server is also 6.
But, this time, the number of found players with artifacts will be selected. Thus, if a player has found 600 artifacts, this will correspond to 100 tables, even if in fact he has 200 tables.
If this number of tables (i.e. 100) is enough to receive a cross-server prize, then the player will receive it.


NEW TIME SOLDIERS


For the duration of the celebration, old acquaintances will appear in the game - the Huntsman and the Horse Huntsman. This year, the Green Forest Archer will be added to them. Soldiers can be obtained for a mini-game, purchased through promotions, or received as a gift. The soldiers will serve until September, after which they are automatically removed.


SUMMER COLLECTION
Janisovy Eve - Herbal (or Green) day, on this day, girls and women collected flowers and medicinal herbs, which at this time are especially rich in vitamins: clover, sage, chamomile, mint, valerian, St. John's wort. From these wildflowers, the girls made bouquets to give them to Janis' "father" and "mother", as well as to his namesakes. The house was decorated with cut branches of young oaks, mountain ash and birches (especially corners, gates, windows and beds). Oak wreaths are especially revered.

And we suggest you to collect a collection of summer meadow herbs that have bloomed in all fields and meadows, and get valuable prizes!

Now for the details!
In all temporary locations for research and for completing special quests, you can get a Simple collector chest. You can also purchase a Premium Collection Chest. It is important to know that simple collectible chests, unlike premium ones, cannot be transferred to another player.


Open chests in a special tab “Collection”
In the chests there are 2 meadow grasses and a nice bonus in the form of gold, diamonds and other bonuses pleasant to the player’s heart.
These herbs are not simple - collected before Ligo, they have a special power!
Total 5 levels of herbs.
By collecting them, you fill out a special album.


If you do not have enough herbs to complete the collection, you can create them.
To do this, grind their essence through the menu. Do not be afraid to rub the herbs, once it falls out, it will remain in the collection, only repeated herbs can be grinded!


Having rubbed the grass, we go into the Collider section and begin to try your luck: you can choose the level of grass to be created, and also, paying extra gold, increase the chance of a rarer occurrence.


Collecting herbs through the collider can still fail


You can switch the type of grass being created or try to create this level again.
If you need grass, which is definitely not in your collection yet, use the runes that can be found by exploring some locations.
Runes:
Protection Bind Rune,

Courage Bind Rune,

Grace Bind Rune and

Strenght Bind Rune

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

But remember: the amount of runes used to create herbs is limited to 12, so use them wisely to create the ones you need.
If during the creation, the creation was unsuccessful, then the rune, gold and essence will be spent, but the attempt will not be counted.


Special prize for completing - the opportunity to build a new resource location Pharmacy, which will give different potions and elixirs for your army
