As a long time player, the only advice I can give is don't start any of the mini events right away. That gives you a better chance at being on a less competitive leader board. I only have a handful of trophy's because I was always ready right when the event was gonna start and then got on boards that were super competitive.

I would agree with not starting Mini events right away to try for a not to competitive leader board. I have not gotten the last few gold trophies because all the boards seem to competitive and I won’t set timers.

Another trick that I use to do all the time was start collecting for a mini event right away BUT switch to airport mode before collecting my first item. Then I‘d put my device in airport mode before I’d log in every time or until I forget. I’d usually make it until the next morning, so I could get my daily reset. The advantage to this is the game won’t put you in a leaderboard until it makes that first internet connection but it remembers all of the items you’ve already collected and should give you a nice lead in your lederboard.

Maybe I need to vary my time. I log in get my award and then spend a lot of time in airplane mode. When I do join up, its like place number 300. Maybe I should avoid logging in close to the start time of the event. Don't really know. It's been a while since I've been on a non-compete board.

Haven't come across anything saying what we need to be at. Based on how stingy they’ve been with vases, it’s wouldn't surprise me if they need to be a little higher. Had my characters at the same levels as you, but leveled my Pegasus to 4 and panic to 3 tonight. Now I’m just gonna focus on trying to get my characters ready to the next level and collect as many vases as possible before Hercule. Hopefully I do t regret my decision to level those two up tonight.

Wow, that is a fantastic tip that I never thought of. Thanks! I am going to try that for the mini event that starts on the 21st.

I don't believe that technique works anymore. Starting a few months ago, it seems you are added to a group as soon as you access the mini-event, not when you make your first collection while online. The only way now to be put into a later group is to either not login at all or only play in airplane mode starting right before the mini-event even begins.

Why can't it show which characters collect trophies? Can someone remind me which ones other than the Hercules and Snow White ones that I should send out today?

Thanks for sharing. I'm still working on collective vases, but I agree that those 2 look really low at 3 and 2.

I needed one ear hat for Pain last night to level him to 3, and I'm still short one after two more collections. These ears are driving me crazy.

Another trophy event just started. I noticed that the blueprints they're giving as prizes aren't even the ones we need to enchant the Hercules attractions. They're pretty much useless to me. Even less incentive to participate.

It's the same character list as last time:

• Snow White characters (and attractions)
• Pocahontas (with Comfy and Dressing Room at level 1)
• Mickey
• Goofy
• Hamm
• Phil
• Woody
• EVE (at Level 10)
• Megara (with the Statue Garden at level 1)
• Pluto
• Rex
• Panic (with the Statue Garden at level 1)

And just as a note, in game list included in the new list of characters and buildings involve in these mini events, Trophies is under Balance Changes.

This seems reasonable. and somewhat expected. I mean you would need to log in to trigger then event first. I guess I'll need to do my research on the next event. I'll airplane mode before the event begins and then see if anything spawns. Too late for the gold trophys for me.

Good to know. With the uninspiring rewards they’ve been giving for awhile now, I haven’t had a need, or desire, to try that technique again.

It doesn't start until you play online. So, the benefit of airplane mode now is to hold off when you actually start the event, and get placed into a later, hopefully easier group. But, you can play in the meantime in airplane mode and start all the tasks and then play online until the time you are ready to start the event and have a collection right away.

I hear you, I do the airplane mode for mini-events just until the evening the day they start to hopefully get a better group, and there isn't much gameplay loss to playing online through the afternoon other than maybe a video after a parade for happiness.

Well to my pleasant surprise I just realized that I‘ve got enough Hercules tokens from the last mini event to enhance an attraction! Zeus’ Temple, that will give Hercules ear Hats, is probably the best one to enhance first, right?

Also reminders me of the complete incompetence from the game developers with the implementation of building enhancements. Can anyone explain why a building has to be completely empty and why it takes 4 hours for the 1st enhancement to be completed? Should be able to do it at any time and apply it instantaneously. Now I’ve got to wait 2 hours for a job to get done, make sure I don’t send any Hercules characters out on other jobs until that’s happens and then wait 4 hours for the enhancement to happen.

Thank you so much. I was missing Rex and Eve so this was really helpful.

I read it there, but didn't see all of the characters listed, just the new ones. Luckily now I have a more complete list.

In other news, I have needed ONE set of Lady's ears to move her to Level 10. It's been 4 days now and I still need one set of her ears. I cannot believe that they aren't playing with this stuff based on where we are in the game. It honestly makes no difference, since I'll get them eventually (one would hope) and I'm in no real hurry, but it's still annoying.

Is almost congratulations the correct response to your post?

I finished my Onward characters last week and slowly trying to finish my level 9 Lady. The funny thing is the Sultan, who I won from those Aladdin chests last month will be finished well before my Lady is. Should be leveling the Sultan to 9 tonight.

Wow! I still have 2 Onward characters to go, and Dad is only at L8 right now, so it will be a while. I'm impressed. Lady is going to take forever I guess. Luckily it's not interfering with anything else I need. Meeko and Pocahontas are slow going, but maybe that's because I didn't buy the annoying little dog.

Yeah, I didn’t buy the dog either. Surprisingly, I’ve had really good drops (hope I didn’t jinx myself) for Meeko and have him at level 6. Also have Pocahontas at level 8, but have bought tokens from Merlin.

Honestly, so much of my play has become automatic that I don’t remember things like which characters you can buy items from Merlin for. So if we could for Onward characters I did.

Nothing can be worse than the Mayor. I got him out of a legendary chest how long ago? A month or two? He's still at level 4. It's ridiculous.

I have the same issue with Mayor, I also got him from a box a long while back and mine is currently level 6. I expect to get to Level 7 no time soon.

I am in the same boat only I have 14 collars and 13 ear hats. I have been stuck here for 4 days. I can’t seem to get any tokens. I have 4 more Onward characters to finish. Dad, Ian and the big bear are at 9 and only need a couple of ear hats. The Dragon thing is at 8. Pocahontas is a whole other story no tokens here either especially from the ducks.
