    * How can I get more drops?

    Yes! You need to collect drops to mill the special item to play the mini-game. The event has 2 parts -

    1) Each Game played, counts towards the "Played Games" Bar to earn rewards. Each game played earns you Mysterious Buds to win the special seeds to grow.
    2) Sow the special seeds to harvest Herbs to donate to the "Task List" and earn rewards.

    The Mysterious Buds can be opened from the tab on the Game layer or in your "Consumables" inventory.​
    This is how the event place looks like:

    Clicking on the Jeweled Ankh will start the mini game. Each Game needs 1 Jeweled Ankh to start.
    *You need to fit the tile pieces into the grid:

    mini game layer.png
    You need to arrange the 6 tile pieces to form a complete square in the grid. Puzzle pieces cannot be rotated. Click and hold a puzzle pick to pick it up. Release the mouse button to place a piece. A piece will click into place as long as it does not overlap another piece.
    Arrange all pieces in the grid to receive a completion bonus based on how quickly the puzzle is completed.​

    The mini-game ends when:
    • User clicks the "submit" tab before all puzzle pieces have been laid
    • User completes the puzzle
    Each Game played earns you points. Earn bonus points by competing a round as quickly as possible.
