How to do exchanges on Island Experiment events and arches
Most events and archs now include an “exchanger” for the obstacle resources so that you can turn in excesses of one or more colors in hopes of getting some of the rarer colors that you need. Each time you exchange, there is a “fee” for doing so… one basket takes 11 resources but only returns 8 (loss of 3), two baskets takes 21 but returns 16 (loss of 5 total, or 2.5 per basket) and three baskets takes 30 but returns 24 (loss of 6 total, or 2 per basket).

Each tutorial at the beginning of the event or arch includes a forced exchange. The following pictures are from the Illusions event, but each event and arch works the same way, no matter what resources are involved. When doing a tutorial exchange, make sure that you have collected your big box of free resources from the GET GIFTS icon on the right before proceeding, so that you have enough to actually do an exchange.
First, click on the exchanger:
For the tutorial, you can only choose 1 basket of resources.. just click.
After the tutorial phase, you can choose 1, 2, or 3 baskets at any time you like:
After you have clicked on the number of baskets you want to exchange, you will get a screen that shows you all of the resources you have on hand to turn in. Any resource that has 1 or more in inventory will have a green plus next to it. In this case, I am going to turn in 6 of the first color and 5 of the second color. Click the green plus next to any color you want to turn in, and then on the next screen, use the slider bar to choose the number you want to turn in:
Once you have selected enough resources to total the number required (11, 21, or 30) then a green EXCHANGE button will light up at the bottom of the exchanger’s main screen:
Click that exchange button, and the machine will spit out a box or boxes for you to open:
After the tutorial exchange, there is a time limit between exchanges, so don’t pile up a huge amount and think you can do several exchanges at once.
As stated, there is a small fee each time you exchange, so don’t do them unless absolutely necessary. But it is better to lose a few of the ones you have in excess than to be completely stuck and unable to move forward. When possible, always exchange 2 or 3 baskets since you lose fewer per basket that way.
