WHAT ARE THESE BLUE AND WHITE COINS I'M GETTING?



They are called good deed points, and you earn them for every action on the quest islands in the event. Each day, if you do well enough inside your own "faction" (color group), you can get a multiplier at the end of the day and earn more than what you earned for your actions on the islands. And if your whole team wins the day, then the whole team gets 24 hours to convert them at 2X inside the Karma Machine for luck coins. Luck coins are used to purchase past event items in the shop on the main, regular island. For more explanations, see this GUIDE TO FACTIONS, GOOD DEED POINTS AND LUCK COINS.

WHERE IS THE KARMA MACHINE?

There is one on the main event island, but you also have a permanent one on your own main, regular island that you placed somewhere. You can use either one of them to turn in good deed points, but remember - ONLY turn them in for luck coins on a day that you have a 2X showing in the machine.

Main event island Karma Machine is to the west of the stamps area:

Factions, good deed points, and Luck Coins

The developers have now added a way for us to earn old pets, buildings and upgrades to buildings that we may have missed from previous 15 day events. This sounds complicated, but really isn't once you get the hang of it.

FACTIONS

"Faction" just means group. Each players is randomly assigned to one group at the beginning of the event, and you will stay with that faction for the remainder of the event. Look at your name in the top left corner on the main regular island OR at the color of the points counter. Whatever color is showing is the color group that you have been assigned to. When you are on the main event island, you will see a percentage bar like this:



This is from the beginning of the event, so all teams are equal at this point.

GOOD DEED POINTS

Every action you take on the event islands will earn you good deed points. These are light blue, dark blue, and white, and sort of look like a yin-yang symbol except they have 3 parts rather than 2. You can see the point counter in the picture above as well. You do not have to do anything special to earn these points... they will be collected as you go along as normal in the event.



Each time you clear an item on the ground, or when you finish the quest that's on the left side of your screen, you will earn good deed points. The counter in the top left of your screen will automatically update once per hour, or you can refresh your game to make it update if you like. Points are NOT immediately added to the counter.



If you click that point counter in the top left, it will show you the points that have been collected by the other members of your faction, and what "place" you are on your team. You will see the top members of the team, then it skips down and shows you your own stats:



You will notice that the top players have a multiple number next to their names. The better you do each day, the higher of a multiplier you can earn for THAT DAY'S points. Unfortunately, the average player will NOT receive a daily multiplier for their points, unless the whole team does well.

The faction that does the best EACH DAY will receive a 2X multiplier for EVERY member of the team for THAT DAY'S points. (Only your own points will be multiplied.) Then the next day, the race to earn a multiplier starts all over again. The points will be added to the Karma Machine at the end of every day, you don't have to do anything to move them over. I am not sure of the precise time that the points will be moved over.

KARMA MACHINE

After your good deed points have been added to the Karma Machine, you can exchange them for Luck Coins. It takes 400 of the good deed points to exchange for 1 Luck Coin. Your Karma Machine can be found on the main event island, but you will also get one that can be placed on your regular island as well, so you can make exchanges without having to go to the event island.

HOW DO I EXCHANGE GOOD DEED POINTS FOR LUCK COINS?

Once a day at about 4 PM Central Time (USA), all of your points from the last 24 hours will be automatically transferred over to your karma machine. Your points counter at the top will reset to 0, and all factions will go back to being equal 20% of the daily competition.

You can access the karma machine either on the main event island OR through the one that you were given to place on your own regular island. Once your points transfer over (and this MAY take as much as an hour to fully transfer, PLEASE be patient), you can open your karma machine and hit the green Exchange button. It will exchange in multiples of 400, and whatever is left over will be left on the left side of the machine, to be added to your next batch of points.

To see your Luck Coin total, simply visit the luck coin tab in the shop.

WHAT DO I DO WITH LUCK COINS?

Go to your main island shop (hammer and saw, lower right corner) and click the Luck Coin tab at the top. You will see buildings, upgrades, and puzzle pieces from past events. NOT ALL PAST EVENT ITEMS ARE IN THE SHOP YET. They will add past event items one year after the event in which they were originally released. Anything you've already won in a past event cannot be earned again, but if you missed something, you can buy it with enough Luck Coins when you've amassed them. The past event pets are broken up into puzzle pieces just like the Jungle Collection and the Holiday Collection, and you can buy the puzzle pieces for them from the shop. You will need to buy 12 puzzle pieces per animal that you are missing.




Non-animal event rewards are offered in two parts, the item and an upgrade to the item. If you do not own the item yet, DO NOT BUY THE UPGRADE YET. You must buy the item before you buy the upgrade. Purchasing the upgrade is not the same as buying an upgraded version of the item - it is a separate purchase, and you must have the item first before you can apply the upgrade to it. For example, if I want this Laughing Castle, I need to spend 400 luck coins on the castle first, and then if I want the upgraded version of the castle, I would need to spend an additional 400 luck coins to get the upgrade:


There are a few items at the very end of the luck coin shop that have no upgrades available. Those are luck coin shop exclusive items; they were never event rewards. Those are there mostly for the people who already have literally every single past event item and pet already, as rewards that they can work toward with their luck coins.

That's really all there is to it. Just play your event EXACTLY AS ALWAYS, and along the way you will earn points that will help you collect some of the items you've missed out on. Don't get caught up in the hype and think you need to spend gems to do better, or to earn more. Just keep plugging away and you will reap the benefits of this addition to the game.

SUMMARY

As you clear items on the event quest islands you will receive "good deed points" (GDPs). You also receive a set of GDPs each time you finish a quest on the island, and the amount received for that increases by island (50/quest on island 1, 75/quest on island 2, and so on). Your GDPs will be added to your points counter, but the number is only updated once per hour, on the hour. (You can also refresh to force it to update, but even that number is apparently not totally right.)

If you collect enough GDPs during the day to break into the top portion of your faction's leaderboard, you can also gain a multiplier for your points for that day's points. These multipliers range from 1.1 up to 2 times the points. So if you collect 5,000 GDPs over the course of the day, and you are one of the top three players, you would receive 10,000 GDPs at the time of the afternoon reset. The in-faction multiplier ONLY multiplies your GDPs for THAT day. All 5 of the factions have a leaderboard with multipliers, so all teams have a shot at getting their GDPs multiplied for the day.

At the time of the afternoon reset (for this event, it is 4:00 Central, USA time), your GDP counter at the top of the screen will be zeroed out. Please don't panic! Your points are being tallied, and will son be moved to the Karma machine. This can take more than an hour for some players. Once your points have been tallied and moved to the Karma machine, you will get a little pop up on your screen, telling you how many points you earned for the day.

At this time, you can go check your Karma machine. There is one on the main event island, as well as the one they gave you to place on your main, regular island. When you open the Karma machine, if your faction won the daily points contest, you will see a 2X multiplier on the screen. If your team did not win, don't fret, you'll have another chance tomorrow. If you have a 2X multiplier on your screen, that means you will get twice as many luck coins than you would normally.

(If you reach the leaderboard of your faction AND your faction wins the day, too, then you will earn a lot, because not only will your personal points be multiplied, but your available luck coins will be doubled as well.)

You do NOT have to exchange your GDPs for luck coins every single day. You can leave them sitting there in the karma machine for as long as you like. The best strategy is to ONLY exchange the GDPs on a day that your faction has won, so that you have a 2X multiplier. All GDPs are carried over from event to event, so  be smart and wait to exchange only on a day that will give you double luck coins.

Once you do exchange, your available luck coins will no longer show in the karma machine. They will now be showing only in the shop (hammer and saw icon), when you click on the luck coin tab.

Flower Festival of Deliveries June 2017 - NEW format

Okay, buckle in, this is going to be a bumpy ride! This guide is in progress, as we're all still trying to figure it out. If I make a mistake, bear with me, I'll try to correct it as soon as possible.

So, open your game and you get hit with the festival. Looks just like a normal one at first, until you see the bottom half of the screen. You should have a free key sitting in the bottom half of your delivery screen, be sure to collect it. You will get a new one every 8 hours. (I'd already collected mine before this photo - you will see it int he space that says "Next one in 7:25:44") You can get more keys from the top spin wheel (random prize) and sometimes from festival chests.



The top half of the festival window looks and works the same as always. You get one free spin on the top wheel every 23 hours, and you start immediately with your first free spin.

When you go to your delivery hut, make your first delivery, and your first chest in the upper left corner of the delivery hut will be a 2 hour chest that is free to "hurry" with 0 gems. After that, keep that festival slot filled, regardless of what's going on at the bottom. (If all slots at the bottom are filled, just keep filling that festival slot, over and over. The flower things you earn from each festival chest will earn you more spins on the top wheel of the festival window - collect 300 of those little flowers, and you get another spin.

Here's where things get REALLY interesting. Instead of collecting ticket pieces for the bottom part of the festival window like we've done for months, we now have a special cave. Go to your inventory (bottom right, the chest icon) and remove the cave and place it anywhere on your island that you like. It looks like this:



You need a key to enter this cave... you get one every 8 hours at the bottom of the festival window, or you can also earn more on the top spin wheel. YOU DO NOT NEED SHOVELS FOR THIS CAVE.

Once you enter the cave, they did do a fairly decent job of explaining what's going on, so SLOW DOWN and read the dialogue and the explanations.

You will be collecting chests and treasure piles inside the cave. Chests will mostly contain colored jewels of various types, but can also contain two different spheres. You want to open as many chests as you possibly can in your trip. You are only limited by the fact that you enter the cave with 5 "lives" shown as hearts at the top. Some of the chests will not contain goodies, they will have a skull and crossbones, which kills off one of your lives. Once your 5 lives are lost, either you can pay gems to refill your lives (starts at 15 gems and doubles from there) or you can just leave the cave. If you are lucky enough to find a Pillar of Life, you can touch it and get back one life for free.

Lives are supposed to regenerate to a full 5 immediately, so if you go back in, you should have a full 5. I went right back into the cave shortly after my first trip (I won a key on the top spin wheel) and when I went back, I only had 3 lives on the counter, not a full 5. So try spacing out your trips, don't go in back to back. This is a glitch, but no sense tempting fate.



Spheres that you collect can only be opened if you find a portal in the cave; when you do, they open up and give you a variety of the colored jewels.



Portal:



If you do not find a portal during your time in the cave, you will lose all spheres when you exit.

To earn a "big" spin for the best prizes, you have to unlock 16 different sections in the bottom half of the festival window. Each section is unlocked by having different types of the colored jewels. Right now in this picture I need 300 blue jewels, but I think for my first piece I needed red jewels. Different colors of jewels require different amounts. You can see in this picture that I have removed 1 of the 16 pieces in the space. When all 16 spaces are unlocked, then you get to go to the big prize spinner and try for one of the 4 big prizes.



4 pieces gone:





The prizes are as follows:

– 150 Luck Coins + puzzle piece for a pet Quokka;
– Airship House, produces useful resources + puzzle piece for a pet Quokka;
– Mystic Castle, produces 80 doubloons or 80 native coins every 24 hours + puzzle piece for a pet Quokka;
– Funny Chess, not only will it please friends, but also produce 150 stamps every 48 hours + puzzle piece for a pet Quokka

WHAT DO I DO WITH THE COLORED JEWELS?

Exchange them for the 16 pieces of the token needed for the big spin.

HOW DO I KNOW HOW MANY COLORED JEWELS I HAVE?

You can only see the number for whichever jewel is currently being requested by the big spin token area; to see all your jewel counts, you need to be inside the cave.

WHAT DO I DO WITH THESE SPHERES I KEEP FINDING IN THE CAVE?

IF you are lucky enough to find a portal, walking through it will open the sphere(s) you have and will give you lots of the colored jewels. If you do not find a portal, you will lose any spheres you have from that trip as soon as you leave the cave.

How to get free sacred leaves in Island Experiment

A few weeks into playing Island Experiment, you will be given a quest to restore 2 dead trees into a new resource called Sacred Trees. There are 5 specific dead trees that you can choose from, and you can choose any 2 of the 5 to restore. Doing 2 will fulfill the quest and you will move on; you can leave the other 3 trees undone if you like, or you can also restore those if you prefer. Here is the placement of the 5 trees; in this picture, 2 trees have been restored, and 3 are still dead trees.



Once you have finished this quest, you will start occasionally seeing sacred leaves in deliveries, and every once in a while, they will be in a regular quest. Harvesting sacred leaves from the trees costs 5 food per leaf, but there is good news! We no longer have to harvest the leaves when a quest or delivery asks for them.

Step 1: Fill every other item request that is asked for in the quest or delivery. In this picture, I have a delivery order which asks for 3 items - sacred leaves, black crystals and pink crystals. I have collected enough of the black and pink crystals to fill their part of the order.



Step 2: Without collecting any sacred leaves at all, hit the green SEND button that you will see, whether it's a delivery or a quest. When you click the SEND button, you will get a window that pops up to tell you "Not enough resources" and offers to sell you the missing sacred leaves. But look - they are ZERO gems, and they always will be. Click the "BUY ALL 0" button and the order will be automatically filled and sent and you are done.



That's all there is to it! IMPORTANT: You MUST fill all the other items in the order or quest FIRST before clicking the "send" button. If you don't, it will charge you for those missing resources. Make SURE that the buy all button says zero gems before you click it!

For those wondering, this is NOT a glitch or a cheat or exploit. The developers programmed it this way a few months ago because a small subset of players do not have any sacred trees at all and therefore would have gotten stuck in the newer quests that came out this past winter. So they made the sacred leaves free for everyone, but you must do it this way in order to get them for free.
