Uh?a few extra fingers
For the math; counting on fingers
I am doing this Event on 2 worlds, and I am on target to get a total combined 10 pieces of base/kits/upgrades. The only real secret to it this year, was to ignore the dailies (which also means ignoring the urns). Focus on progressing through the tunnel and stop each time you reveal a shard, as that will be the gem you need for the next day. Do the dailies for shards just in case you are unable to get a shard/gem one day. I have had 2 shards/gems on the screen at the same time a few times so far, which just meant next to no digging for a day.Well i dont see 15 levels. I bought the initial currency and diamonds pack done all the daily shards every tablet found every incident yet do not see where the level 10 is coming from. Bought 2 mystery selections and had to buy some scrolls to max a couple of packs and now down to buying tools individually which is ridiculous and only on calendar 15 with 2 shards in kitty and 19 idols needed for level 8. Last 3 tablets yet to appear. As said this part of the dig is exposing a lot of empties and cant see how anyone could do well without diamonds so either very very lucky or fibbing
before spending 4.000 diamonds on the mystery box, i had a lvl7 wheel (so i was missing 3 kits).I am doing this Event on 2 worlds, and I am on target to get a total combined 10 pieces of base/kits/upgrades.

If a person goes for the urns/dailies, then it would be very difficult to get a complete Wheel. If digging and you take the shards instead of waiting for the daily reset and taking it as a gem, again it will be very difficult to get the Wheel. It all depends on what your priority was/is. There were a number of online guides explaining this as well. Kinda sucks not being able to play with specific dailies in mind, but that is just how the event was designed this time around. Oh, and no diamonds needed spending either so far (with the caveat that I spent 400 on that mystery box 1 time taking a chance at Checkmate, which did not happen, and was not gambling any further on it)
I should have paid attention to the changes. I have done well at past archeology and Halloween events without diamonds and just pressed on, revealing every block. I won't be able to get it without a spend - lesson learned.
So it looks as though I cannot complete the ferris wheel on my main world (1 upgrade short) despite the fact I will have an extra base by the end of the event because I didn't do the previous event and get the box.
Not cool
Good point ! luckily a get out of jail free diamonds/scroll deal today although it didnt help...but i dont go down the pub so what 3 pints maybe lolllYeah, it is rather interesting how they have been designed now. You used to be able to skip events, but now if you do you are choosing to miss out on possibly completing the next events main prize or getting extra's regardless. Its almost become a requirement now to do every events main questline
Got mine on R yesterday, with the completed calander will have a spare base plus 3 or maybe 4 upgrades, no diamonds, no problems.I've got all the Ferris Wheel upgrades now + a spare level 1. Didn't use any clever math or smart strategy or DIAMONDS. Just dug up everything in the sand, except for a few vases today. And still 3 days of the event left. Luck? Maybe...
Agree very depressing when you know over 3 cities 3 ages lvl 10 is not possible without diamonds with columns of empty sand. It would not hurt to throw in a few pixels of items for encouragement. The choice now to leave pots and idols and try for the elusive gem/s. The gold tablet naturally at the unobtainable end. Anyway mustn't complain about a free game......however if and a big IF life gets back to normal people will consider time wasted, expense and tactics used in the game. Compared to this St Paddy was a breeze and so miss the boat music.......Congrats: Only took you a few goes to turn what was originally a quite entertaining event into a long boring grind fest of endless productions.
Grind does NOT equal good guys.

You can. I did. Others did too. Read above. Many I know already got it, without paying diamonds.Wow, another stupid event where you can't get the end prize even though you finished all of the quest
