GARDEN SECRET (7-16 Dec.)
New event format: Complete event levels in order to collect event currency: Serene Petals. The format for this event is brand new so please bear with me as it’s hard to explain, although in reality it’s quite simple. So, this is a sorta tiered event. What do I mean by sorta? Well, each suit as its own tier, but you get to choose which suit you want to work on. However, you are not locked into the suit you choose nor do you have to complete it to move onto another suit; you absolutely free to change which suit you’re working on. So, if you want only the first five items of one of the suits and then 2 of another suit, you can get those five items and then move right onto the second suit; no need to complete the first one. As mentioned, however, this is a tiered so you get the items for each suit in a set order. Unlike other tiered events, your Petals do not automatically get applied to the tiers, rather you go and choose which suit you want to apply the Petals to. So, if you have 257 Petals you can choose to split that between the first tier of two suits or you can choose to get two tiers on one suit. So it’s sort of a weird tiered pick and choose mutant of an event. If you’re more of a visual learner, the ever amazing Iri has created a great step-by-step video guide, along with some tips.
Event currency: Each suit has its own event map. Three of the levels are just story stages and two of them are your normal level style battles. The first time you play each level will be free and upon completion of the map you’ll get 50 Petals. Every day, you will get three free resets. All of this comes to a total of 330 Petals for free during the event. This is two items from each suit, with extra left over. After that, if you want more petals, you will need to use diamonds to purchase more level chances so you can get more Petals.
Cost: And this is where it gets really exciting because these suits are actually pretty cheap! Assuming you use the currency you get from your free tries for only one suit, the costs are as follows (suits listed in order of images above). [Prayer Dancer] will cost 1525 diamonds. [Starry Mentor] will cost 1630. [Rosy Waltz] will cost 1560. All three suits, with free tries, will be 5375 diamonds. Please note that the number for all three suits is correct. Since the above individual suit prices each take into free tries, if you’re getting two or more suits, the second (and third) suit will cost more than shown above. Thanks to the lovely Iri who always comes through for us, I can also list the prices for just two complete suits: [Waltz] and [Dancer] will be 3415 diamonds, [Waltz] and [Mentor] will be 3520, and [Dancer] and [Mentor] will be 3485. As of this moment, return costs are unknown.
Still confused? Here’s some extra things to help you out. Not sure about the suits? The absolutely wonderful Iri has put together two vidoes: one is a breakdown of the suits (with a very general event breakdown; see this video for a more detailed guide) and a pros and cons video, which talks about which pieces she finds more useful and which ones are hard to style. In her description and her pinned comment on the detailed video guide, she also links to a document which tells you (with pictures) which items you get at each tier, lazy suits to do for the style battles, and the attributes for each level if you don’t have the lazy suit. The Squirtle Squad on reddit has also continued to be their marvelous selves and have created a brilliant spreadsheet that shows not only what tier costs but also allows you, once you make your own copy, to input the info of which pieces you want so you can figure out exactly how much it will cost you.
