    At the end of the event, Guilds receive rewards based on their ranking. The more Barrel Keys the Guild has spent, the higher its ranking will be. Each member will receive rewards based on the Guild's final placement. The rankings calculation begins on October 9 at 2:00 UTC, immediately after the event ends. It may take some time for the final results to appear.

  8. Special offers.

Upgrading the Mead Barrel

In the main menu, you can contribute Barrel Keys to level up the Mead Barrel (1) and claim or view the Season rewards (2):

meadfest_barrel_upgrade_eng.png

For adding Barrel Keys to the Mead Barrel, you get valuable resources, including a rare reward — Asgard Mead. Each opening costs 1000 Barrel Keys. You can also spend 10,000 Barrel Keys to open the Mead Barrel 10 times at once.

The Mead Barrel level is the same for all Guild members and depends on how many Barrel Keys the Guild contributed to it.

Instead of Claim Rewards, you can see the Rewards button. Press it to go to the Season. The Mead Barrel level matches the Season level. For example, if the Mead Barrel level is 14, you can collect the reward for level 14 in the Season.​

Rewards in the Season are divided into two categories: free rewards and Golden Ticket rewards.

Note: You can spend Barrel Keys to unlock and upgrade generators on the Seasonal map. However, only the Barrel Keys spent on the openings of the Mead Barrel are counted in the Guild's and personal rankings.

New Pet

The Mead Festival event also introduces a new pet — Robin. You can get Robin's Soul Stones:

Robin boosts slow heroes and impedes fast opponents. He has several skills:

  • On Borrowed Wings steals energy from each opponent hero and transfers it to an ally who received the least amount of energy in the last 15 seconds. If an opponent is not a hero, it steals more energy from them.
  • Counterflow. A passive skill that decreases opponents' physical and magic attacks for 5 seconds when they receive bonus energy.
  • Fair Wind gives the owner bonus energy once every 5 seconds.

Event Items

You need event items to get as many rewards as possible during the Mead Festival.

Barrel Keys can be used to open the Mead Barrel and receive rewards. You may also need them to upgrade generators on the Mysterious Island's event map. You can get them:

Asgard Mead is used to purchase items in the Mead Festival Shop. You may also need it to upgrade generators on the Mysterious Island's event map. You can get it:

Note: Asgard Mead will not remain in the Inventory — it will be exchanged after the end of the event. Make sure to spend it before the Mead Festival ends.

Harunian Chest contains random items. Possible rewards include:

  • more Harunian Chests;
  • other resources for your characters.

Event items will be exchanged for Harunian Chests at the end of the event. The exchange rates are:

  • 1000 Barrel Keys = 1 Harunian Chest;
  • 1 Asgard Mead = 10 Harunian Chests.

Mead Festival Shop

To enter the Mead Festival Shop and spend Asgard Mead, press the Shop button on the left side of the main event menu.

Note: The Mead Festival Shop will be available for 24 hours after the event ends. Make sure to spend Asgard Mead before that.

Event Map on Mysterious Island

As the event starts, a temporary event area will appear on the Mysterious Island. The Seasonal Adventure map features five generators that unlock gradually. Hover over a generator to see its availability countdown.

meadfest_generator_eng.png

Once generators become available, you can unlock them using Barrel Keys and emeralds. After unlocking, each generator starts to produce one of the resources until the event concludes.

meadfest_generator_res_eng.png

When the resource is ready for collection, its icon appears above the generator. Each generator produces a single resource type:

  1. Barrel Keys.
  2. Great enchantment rune.
  3. Bottled Energy.
  4. Robin's Soul Stones.
  5. Chaos Particles.

You can upgrade generators to increase their resource production. Upgrades require Barrel Keys, Asgard Mead, and emeralds. Each upgrade also gives the generator a new look:

Note: When you upgrade the generator, the current production timer is instantly completed, and you receive the accumulated resource. After that, a new timer begins with the updated production rate.

Event Quests

The event quests can be found in the Special Events tab or by using the Quests shortcut in the main event menu.
