Dev Diary: Anniversary Event 2023

[BB_Sious]

Dear Settlers,

In 1993, Blue Byte released the very first "The Settlers" game, launched for Amiga in Germany, and followed later with international releases after great reception and success. It's been a wonderful 29 years on PC, a long, meaningful, and pleasant journey which we'd like to celebrate with a special. In 2023 we also celebrate the 13th birthday of The Settlers Online, a full decade has passed and we got so many updates, expansions, new quests, and new buildings. In the past 13 years, many of our settlers stayed with us and we are extremely proud of what you created together with us!!

ANNIVERSARY EVENT

Start: 14. August 2023 - 11:00 EEST
Removal: 28. August 2023 - 11:00 EEST
Deactivation: 31. August 2023 - 11:00 EEST

Level requirement: 16+

Note: General event features unlock at level 16. If you are below level 16, you still see the first quest of the quest chain, which tasks you to reach level 16.

However, if your level is below 26, you cannot go on missions and will not receive the mission-based quest chain before catching up. You will also lack access to one farmable source of Cake Dough.

The Anniversary Event lasts for 2 weeks and has 2 phases.

Donation Phase 1: 14. August 2023 - 11:00 EEST - 21. August 2023 - 11:00 EEST
Donation Phase 2: 21. August 2023 - 11:00 EEST - 28. August 2023 - 11:00 EEST

The goal is to collect and donate as many balloons as possible. The main way to do so is to convert the resources available within your level range into a special event Epic Workyard, the Festival Hall.

You will be rewarded for donating certain totals of balloons. In addition, every week of the event features a special reward for everyone with level 16 and above if a certain sum of balloons is donated worldwide.

- New Building: Giant Tree of Hope
- New Building: Balloon Market Tribute
- New Specialist: Rina, the Explorer
- New Decorations
- New Elari-themed Skins
- Overhauled Shop & Event Calendar

Ready to kick off the party?
Then join us in celebrating 30 years of The Settlers (Amiga), 29 years of The Settlers (PC), and 13 Years of "The Settlers Online"!

You're invited to share a slice of your feedback > here <

The Anniversary Event wouldn't be the epic celebration that it is without countless amounts of balloons; we'll need everyone to band together in order to make sure every island has enough to furnish the proper festivities! Instead of serving as a currency, these balloons are donated to unlock personal and worldwide rewards in a predetermined order. Balloons can be earned in the following ways:

• Conversion:
  When converting level-appropriate resources into balloons

• Event Quest Chain:
  Completing Event Quests

• In-game merchant:
  Balloons can be purchased from the in-game merchant

• Event Achievements:
  Some achievements will rewards Balloons upon completion

The first donation goal is set at 150,000,000 Balloons!
The second goal will be provided at a later time.

Once earned, balloons can be donated from the resources' context menu in any warehouse. Just click on the warehouse, click on the Balloons, and there you find the "Donate"-Button. They serve no other purpose and can not be traded. The main way in which balloons are earned is through the Festival Hall; an epic workyard on the event isle that you can use during the event. It has three slots in which productions can be activated that convert different resources into balloons.

The Festival Hall

Blowing up balloons can be exhausting work, so when your Settlers are all out of puff you'll need to motivate them with the tastiest of treats: cake! The Petite Birthday Cake and the Enormous Birthday Cake are two buffs that can be produced in the Provision House. They are made from two event resources, Cake Dough and Birthday Candles, which can only be earned by players up to level 57 and from 58 upwards.

If you're missing one of the two resources, feel free to trade with your friends! But if that's not your thing, you can always convert the resources into each other at a rate of 2 to 1 for Candles to Cake Dough or 3 to 1 for Cake Dough into Candles!

Name	Effect	Cost of production	Production time
Petite Birthday Cake	+100% output Festival Hall for 8 hours (12 hours on friend/guild member) Not giftable, not tradable, not deletable, not redeemable	100 Candles 80 Cake dough	Lvl. 1 Provision House: 20 minutes Rarity Provision House: 4 minutes
Enormous Birthday Cake	+200% output Festival Hall for 8 hours (12 hours on friend/guild member) Giftable via in-game merchant interface, not tradable, not deletable, not redeemable	500 Candles 400 Cake dough	Lvl. 1 Provision House: 40 minutes Rarity Provision House: 8 minutes

And if you're wondering how to get Cake Dough and Candles in the first place, here are some tips:

• Collectibles:

  Up to 10 collectible objects per cycle
  Each Cake Dough collected from the map will grant 2-3 resources
  Each Candles object collected from the map will grant 2 resources

• Treasure Search
  Cake Dough (Levels 16-57):
  

  Search	Small amount	Big amount
  Short	3	6
  Medium	6	9
  Long	9	12
  Very long	12	18
  Prolonged	15	24

  
  
  Candles (Level 58-80):
  

  Search	Small amount	Big amount
  Short	1	2
  Medium	2	3
  Long	3	4
  Very long	4	6
  Prolonged	5	8

  
  

• Adventure Loot
  

As soon as the event starts, you will receive a quest chain if the level requirement is met. The first quests guide you through the event mechanics, whereas the next ones, task you to complete the event.

Back on the 10th Anniversary, we added an additional Event Quest Chain!
This quest chain only starts after the anniversary tutorial main quest "Party Preparations" has been done.
A new quest will then appear every day during the event (14 days / 21 main quests). Every main quest got 3-5 subquests to enjoy. To start the next quest you just have to finish the preceding main quest; you don't need to wait for the next day!
The quests span 4 level ranges: 26-35 | 36-50 | 51-61 | 62+. Finishing a full main quest line will offer you balloons!

The Donation Quests are a means of rewarding you for balloon donations - they can also help you take a peek at what rewards await you! If you are level 16 or higher, you will immediately receive this main quest and all milestone subquests. After completing all of them, a looping quest will reward further donations with consumables.

Who says you cannot party while preparing for an even bigger party? Let's do a celebration Marathon - a Celebrathon - and see how many small parties we can do in the next weeks! A new repeatable Challenge Questchain "Celebration Marathon", split into 10 rounds with several subquests, was added as a Main Quest to the game. The first main quest starts after reaching level 16 and the next Main Quest will start after the previous one is finished.

Are you already overwhelmed with the news? Then let's sink in the rare numbers! For this Anniversary Event, you will be able to explore over 200 Quests, which will push the celebration spirit to a maximum!

The quest for the 1st phase will not be removed during the second phase, in order to allow you to collect the reward of the 1st, during the 2nd one.

Completing event-related achievements is a means of earning balloons. The achievements do not contribute to the overall achievement score and the ones that have not been earned by the end of the event will be hidden from the achievement menu.

The achievements deal with 3 aspects of the event:

• Friends applying birthday cake buffs
• Balloon gathering and production
• Solving missions

[BB_Sious]

A quest chain will guide you through the mechanics of the event, regarding the collection of cake and dough, the production of birthday cakes, the donation of balloons, and the specific missions you have to solve. Additionally, a Calendar is present in which you should open the doors daily! We've overhauled the Event Calendar with new and updated rewards again to keep things fresh!

To access the Calendar, just click on the icon next to your avatar.

2 DIFFERENT TYPES OF DOORS

There is a total of 14 doors. You can open one door each day. Opening missed doors for gems will cost 100 gems for normal doors and 300 gems for special doors due to a very high value in the calendar.

Don't forget to open the doors daily (especially the final door for a brand-new surprise featured in this year's event) and also remind your friends to do so!

Type: Regular door
Amount: 12
Description: Can be opened on the specific date displayed or for 100 gems afterward
Requirement: It doesn't matter if previous doors are still closed or not
Rewards: Provides basic rewards (such as resources), sometimes chosen randomly

Type: Special door

Misty Cake Adventure

We're pleased to announce the long-awaited return of the Misty Cake Adventure back to this year's Anniversary Event!

A mysterious island suddenly appeared out of the morning mists visible close to the horizon. Several fishermen and boats that came close enough gave reports about evildoers roaming around the island. Strangely, it seems everybody saw completely different types of evil, but no leaders at all!

Can you clear the mysterious misty island and claim whatever mysterious loot it has to offer?

Carefully looking in every nook and cranny the Diligent Geologist sometimes even finds the best-hidden treasures.
