===Introductie===

[[File:mainbanner_dwarvenmerge2022.png|680px|center]]

Er was eens een oud Dwergenkoninkrijk dat ooit een gelukkige plek was, maar het raakte in wanhoop. Toen de Dwergenkoning zijn stad wilde redden, verscheen er een fee die een ruil aanbood: ze zou zijn favoriete bordspel betoveren, en veilig zijn. Ze zouden echter wel voor altijd samen spelen. Zodra de koning het bord oppakte, werd de hele stad in het spel gezogen en op de plaats van het koninkrijk bleef alleen een groot bos over. De droogte kwam, het continent stierf, de wateren voerden het bord weg en eeuwenlang was het spel verloren in de oceanen van Elvenar, totdat het werd gevonden door een reizende Dwergenhandelaar aan de kusten bij jouw koninkrijk. Aangetrokken door de edelstenen die in de doos zijn gegraveerd, ging de dwerg naar je stad om je dit majestueuze cadeau aan te bieden, in de hoop op een mooie beloning.<br>

===Opdrachten en opdrachtmijlpalen===

The quest line consists of a story section and additional episodic quests, which start as soon as the story is completed. This means that you will be able to finish the first series of quests right away, while later quests have new additions released on a daily basis, allowing you to continue to play one additional event quest on each new event day.

Solving event quests also comes with additional benefits, as each completed quest brings you closer to reaching one of the Milestones which give you additional rewards simply for reaching them.

Each completed quest will give you Dwarven Chips [[File:Dwarven_Chips.png|30px]] as a reward. They are automatically added to the Event Menu. Dwarven Chips are used to open Cups to receive Game Pieces, with which you can trade with Dwarves for precious Triumph Gems [[File:Triumph_Gems.png|30px]]. With these precious Triumph Gems you can unlock amazing Grand Prizes including the fantastic buildings in this year's new Building Set: '''The Dwarven Citadel'''.

[[File:Dwarvenmerge2022_tab2.png|center]]

You start the Event with 15 Dwarven Chips [[File:Dwarven_Chips.png|30px]] and each Event Quest will give you more as a reward for completing the given tasks. Additionally, you will receive 20 Dwarven Chips [[File:Dwarven_Chips.png|30px]] if you visit your city each day and collect the Daily Event Reward!

[[File:Dwarvenmerge2022_daily_login.png|400px|center]]

Also, from time to time, you will find more Provisions around your city outskirts for you to collect.

[[File:Dwarvenmerge2022_city_treasure.png|center]]

You can then use the Dwarven Chips to win Game Pieces. Additional Dwarven Chips are unlocked upon reaching the first Quest Milestone.

Remember that A Gateway into the Past event only lasts for a few weeks, and after that you will no longer be able to use your Dwarven Chips to obtain Game Pieces that are stored in the Cups and earn awesome rewards, so don't waste time!

===Het ruilspel===
====Bekers en speelstukken====
[[File:Dwarvenmerge2022_Cups.png|center]]

To play a Merge Event, you will need two things: '''Mergeable Pieces''' and '''Cups'''.

There is three types of Pieces in this event:
* The Figurines
* The Tools
* The Dice

Each type of Piece have six levels. You can find all the levels of each pieces on the image bellow: 

[[File:game_pieces_22_1.png|center]]
[[File:game_pieces_22_2.png|center]]
[[File:game_pieces_22_3.png|center]]

The '''Cups''' will give you the Game Pieces to play this event. Each Cup can only give a Game Piece of its type. You can activate a Cup using your Dwarven Chips, but the reward of the Cup is randomly chosen by the game. You can see in the table bellow the odds of each piece for each Cup: 

{| class="wikitable"

|-
|colspan="3"|'''Please note:''' You can see that each Cup can only give you a Game Piece up to the level five.
|-
|}

====Het samenvoegproces====
[[File:Dwarvenmerge2022_tab1.png|center]]
The Master Piece of this Event is Merging the Game Pieces. To obtain the rewards of the Dwarven, you have to offer them the correct Game Pieces.

But, when you activate a Cup, you receive a Game Piece of the Cup type but not necessarily the level that you want. It's now that the Merging take place!

To merge two Pieces together, you have to click on the first Piece and drag it on the second Piece. And that's all! The merge will be done and a new evolved Game Piece will appear!

There are some rules to follow: 

'''First rule''': You can only merge together two game pieces of the same type and the same level. Which means that, you can't merge a Dice level 1 and a Tool level 1. But you can merge two Figurines level 2. 

The result of two Game Pieces merged together will always be a single Game Piece, but one which has evolved to the next level up from that of the initially separated pieces.

Example: you need to produce a Dive level 5? You need to merge two Dice level 4.

'''Second rule''': The merging is irreversible. If you don't need the merged Piece, you can only discard it or keep it until you need it.

'''Third rule''': By merging two Pieces, you will always get a higher level. You can never obtain a lower level.

====Het handelsproces====
[[File:Dwarvenmerge2022_tab3.png|center]]
On the right section of the game table, you will find three orders from the Dwarven. It's like the Chests of our previous events.

To complete each trade offer, you need to produce in the Game table the required Game Pieces. You can have a maximum amount of 3 offers in the same time and each offer will ask you one Piece of each type but with different levels. The more difficult the offer is, the better the rewards.

If you don't want to fulfill an offer, you can decide to skip it. But be aware that you will have to wait 30 minutes to receive a new offer or use diamonds instead.

{|
|-
|[[File:offers_august_22_steps.jpg|center|200px]]
|In the first and the second offer, you can see that the player has in his Game table one Game Piece for the first offer and two for the second because the squares are green. 
If you look at the top corner of these two offers, you can also see a red box to allow the player to skip the offer.

If you fly over the offer with your mouse, you can also see what can be the rewards of the offer. As the Chests of our previous event, you can only win one of the listed rewards. All depends of your luck. 

In the third offer, you can see that the player has all the Game Pieces. In this situation, the player can't no longer skip the offer. 
'''Please note''': If you don't want to fulfill this offer, you can just delete or merge one of the piece asked by the offer.

In all offers, you can also see how many Triumph Gems [[File:Triumph_Gems.png|30px]] the offer will grant you.
