Forge of Empires Archaeology Event 2019 quest line and tips

Click here for FoE Archaeology Event 2022

On May 2nd, 2019 a Forge of Empire Archaeology event is starting.  You will have time until May 23rd, 2019 to solve all quests.  This event introduces two new special buildings: upgradable World’s Fair residential building (6×4, provides up to 10 Forge Points) and Carousel (3×3, cultural building).

Archaeology Event is very different from previous events. It is like mini game inside Forge of Empire. You need to clear sand and uncover different valuable rewards.

You can buy tools which helps you to clear sand in the tomb. To buy tools you need scrolls which you will get by solving quests and also 50 scrolls by daily visiting the Forge of Empire.

Here is short video explaining how FoE Archaeology Event works:

There are two questlines. There is daily quests line (21 quest) and you will receive a new quest each day. But before you need to finish another 39 quests line. Which can be completed in one day or may be not 🙂 Meanwhile daily quests will stack and will waiting for you, when you’re done with the initial 39 quests.

You will receive 30 scrolls for completing each of quests. Additionally you will rewarded after completing some amount of quests:

• for completing 5 quests you will get Level 1 World’s Fair
• after completing 15 quests – 600 Scrolls
• after 30 quests – World’s Fair Upgrade Kit
• after 45 quests – 600 Scrolls
• after 60 quests – another World’s Fair Upgrade Kit

So in total you will get 4050 scrolls (50 x 21 day + 30 x 60 quests + 2 x 600) and you will be able to buy 240 brushes, 96 shovels and 96 dynamites then buying bundle for 330 scrolls. You can buy 12 such bundles.

Here are some tips how to use tools in Archaeology event window.
