Embargo post until Aug 22, 205
Event runs from Aug 25 to September 15, 2025 on Beta server.
The St. Patrick's day event mechanic is back.
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.
There are some changes and the first change is the task window.
The task and the completion reward is now displayed.
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.
The event shop is back.

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.
The next platinum Fiore upgrade is at 800
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.
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 but will still get the silver fiore upgrade. 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.
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.
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
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.
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:
