The Easter Event will be brought to your settlements on Wednesday, April 9th 2014! Follow the rabbits, search for special Easter Eggs and provide a screaming rabbid statue to your settlers! This year, besides the Easter specials from the last events, new items and features are introduced and some of the old features are adjusted. Let's go over the details.
Again Easter eggs are this year's event resource.
Eggs can be traded and are listed in the warehouse (event tab) as usual.
In case you still have eggs from former Easter events, you can use them as well.
How to get the eggs?
- Reward from adventures
- Reward for completing a series of Easter egg quests
- Drop chance when an explorer returns from a treasure hunt
- Collectibles on your home island
- Trade with other players
- Shop offers (small and large egg packages)
There will be 3 new event collectibles spawning on your island.
They can be used to produce the "Hidden Egg Hunt" buff in your Mayor's house (collections tab).
Egg Paint, Simple Egg, Wicker Basket
The new buff "Hidden Egg Hunt" will reward players that cooperate with friends.
Activating the buff on a friend's Mayor's house will result in collectible eggs spawning on the friend's island.
Both players will get the amount of eggs the friend is able to find on his island.
Hidden Egg Hunt: (Friend's Mayor's house buff)
Effect: Easter egg collectibles will spawn on a friend's island.

During the Easter event, all active players of level 17+ will have a chance to cooperate with the Easter NPCs: They will assign one quest chain every 5 days, including 5 subquests each. Each quest chain will consist of several subquests, including tasks related to Easter adventures. In total there are 20 (sub)quests including 8 collectible egg adventures. The quests are split into 3 level ranges: 17-24, 25-39 and 40-50. The Easter adventures and quest texts will be the same for all levels.
