hold until end of Aug
The St Patty's day mechanic is back.
It's a copy/paste of previous events so we won't go into too much detail but there is one difference.
Inno has chosen this event to start the introduction of new ally types. Up to now all we've had are military allies and military ally housing. Timeless junction being the exception to this. For this event they will introduce Science Allies. These allies will require special housing that can only be found in QI and GbG. We're still waiting on the final details but we expect the event to launch before getting those details.
This event should be familiar to all FoE players unless they are very new so we won't spend a lot of time on the mechanics.
Task window.
The task and the completion reward is displayed. You do NOT have to complete all tasks and it's against your interest to do so.
The names have changed so instead of festival, shipyard, hats, flowers, cake, drinks and fireworks we have...
- Banquet Hall
- carriage
- spices emporium
- juice emporium
- farm
- bakehouse
- gourmet butchery
You open these "shops" and hire overseers using "gemstones" which is the event currency.
The goal is to avoid creating a bottleneck so be careful when piking what level of overseer you use.
Boosters:
- king's chronometer - fast forward production by two hours
- royal seal of advancement - upgrade overseers without spending gemstones
- monarch's edict of provisions - discount of number of feast provisions required to progress to the next banquet. (Can only use one per banquet)
When you complete tasks you get an instant reward and progress toward the grand prize. 25 tasks completion grants one prize on the grand prize lane.
You do not have to complete all tasks and you should not complete all tasks if you wish to play efficiently. The goal is to complete enough to advance the grand prize lane while boosting the town so it generates enough feast provisions to move to the next town (next banquet).
The first town (banquet) is a tutorial and only needs 1 million feast provisions to move to the next banquet. All other banquets require 8.4 quadrillion.
When you select the option to move to the next banquet you will see six reward chests.
The first chest is free to open and you'll need to spend gemstones to open more. If you select open all you will get a discount.
If you do open all chests you will get a bonus prize. One of the better strategies for this event is to just open all boxes instead of complete many banquets. So instead of completing 23 banquets and pushing the prize line you can just open all boxes 4 times and get two of the lv2 buildings for doing that.
The event shop is back.
The currency is "sacred seals"
We only had placeholder assets and we're not allowed to publish that so this is a copy/paste of last year's event showing last year's prizes.
For the people not familiar with the mechanics it's pretty simple to play but complicated to explain.
There are three towns/banquets/variants. They cycle so once you complete town 1 and go to the next one it's town 2. Once that's completed you go to town 3. Once that's completed you go back to town 1.
The very first town you play is different as it's a tutorial. From then on it's very formulaic.
What you dear reader have to decide is which strategy you will choose and then stick with it.
1) Push the prize line and try to get into gold league/spend diamonds
2) Don't spend diamonds but go for prize line/main event building
3) Lazy don't give a crap about the prize line but want the prize you get when you open all boxes between towns.
Regardless of which strategy you pick how you do the first tutorial town will be the same. And even if you don't care about the main event prize because it's not very good you might want to try to get to 450 of the prize line.
Tutorial Town:
Complete 15 tasks before moving to variant two.
Once you build a bakehouse the next quest is hire a lv2 baker which we won't do and just move past the tutorial and into town/banquet/variant two.
Now let's deal with the above strategies for regular (non-tutorial) towns.
For tutorial town if you want to squeeze out the maximum amount of quests while only spending the minimum currency the do the first 15 quests.
All the remaining quests will be level banquet steward to lv 3, beverage merchant to lv 2 and hire chief baker.
If you've done the 15 quests then you'll have a few billion feast provisions and you only need a million so go to the second town.
Let's start with strategy 3 the lazy super-easy method that is diamond city friendly.
Only hire lv1 overseer for a total cost of 190 currency.

***Town 1 take juice to 50 and spice to 100
***Town 3 take juice to 50
butchery 25
banquet carriage 300
butchery 50
Using this method you will complete 15 tasks on town one, 8 tasks on town two and 14 tasks on town 3
So that's 37 tasks for three towns including the tutorial and the same moving forward. That means you will probably top-out at 185 on the prize line. You will not have enough currency to buy-all boxes after every town is completed. This is the lazy method after-all. You don't have to complete a town every two days. Just make sure you use all your currency on boxes.
This is town 2 on the lazy strategy
You'll notice that there are two buildings yet to be built and I'm out of tasks. You do not have to babysit these lazy towns.
You should however complete the event quests. It should only take an hour or so to complete all the rush quests then just do the daily quests the lazy way!
The milestone rewards are worth doing the quests.
Remember the lazy strategy is about using event currency on boxes. That means the prize line and rival quests will be largely ignored.
Strategy two advancing the prize line but not using diamonds to buy additional event currency.

When you move to the next town this screen appears.
image is from 2025 event
For the tutorial town it only costs 1M provisions. You can also see here there's a box to the left to use a booster to reduce the price.
You get one free chest and can spend currency to open more. Don't open individual boxes until the event is about to end and you need to spend currency before it goes away. Either just use the free box and move to the next town or open-all for a discount.
By opening all you get the special prize
images are from 2025 event
The seals are used in the event shop as special event currency. Then there are also trash prizes along with the seals. That's why we advocate to either only open the free box or open all.
Once you take your free box it looks like this
So it takes 1400 gems (event currency) to open all boxes.
image from 2025 event
Now you can buy more boxes or move to the next town. Do not buy the higher price boxes. The skill aspect of this event is balancing your need to buy overseers and the ability to buy boxes. If going for gold or trying to push the prize line then you may only buy boxes on the last day just to use up currency. If playing the lazy method you time town completions to match your ability to buy all boxes.
Strategy 1 push prize line and go for gold league.
This is a big spender event and frankly the prizes are not worth the investment. However if you insist on spending diamonds you can set-up the following overseers:
Town one:
Banquet 4
Carriage 4
spice 2
juice 2

Rival quest start one day after event starts. There will be a new quest daily then you have to wait for the next day. If you get behind you can catch-up.
- complete 1 task in event AND pay FP

- 10 tasks in event AND 15min productions

- 20 tasks in event AND pay good
- solve 6 neg without lose (just use hero tavern) AND overseer at level 5
- 30 tasks in event AND contribute FP to GB
- donate goods AND overseer at level 4
If you intend to complete the rival quests it's best to plan in advance so you are not spending currency on lv 5 overseer without need.
If you are going to use a lv5 then it's best to do it right from the start of the new town instead of increasing it when the quest comes up.
I'd suggest doing rivals 2 through 6 on one town with a lv 5 banquet.
Then rivals 7 and 8 with a lv8
