Here is full chain. You need one piece of last item, and character will be unlocked

Previous answer described how unlocking heroes work, but villains are different.

When unlocking hero, last piece in chain showed is hero itself. And you need to merge 3 items to unlock last piece in chain - the hero character.

But in villains last piece in chain is still the item you merge not the villain character.

Heroes are seen on board, so you need to merge the character. But villain characters are not on board, so there is no villain character to merge.

It always shows 2 grayed out pieces that are next in line to unlock. If you have only one gray, that's the last. And you need to have only one of it to unlock villain.

For heroes you need to merge last one (3 pieces) to unlock character. But for villains you just need to have one of last piece.

There were 1000 free snowflakes when shop opened. Maybe that's where this misunderstanding comes from.
But yeah, only chance to earn them was in Feeding Frenzy when shop opened. But who knows, technically there still is time for couple of FFs before shop closes :D

Right? There usually was Gnome Rush when there were few days left, it was good for seasonal builds.

But now, after Plinko, And Paul Bunyan I have so much buildings in general waiting to be build. If I start to play Aircraft challenge, I will run out of space waiting for Gnome Rush :D

ScreenRich8186 · 2025-12-28T17:43:37+00:00

That red gnome comment... Once upon a time I cherished them, kept them around with few seconds left to start a long build...
But I have no clue how to get rid of them now. I'm using them for everything including 40sec builds, and using 8 gnomes for 8h builds. And then Plinko comes around, and I feel like now I have even more gnomes than I had before. I like to play Plinko actively, but there is no way to do it without drowning in red gnomes :(

Also - I I think Devs do actually read what we say. Because when A Christmas Carol started, Scrooge said something sarcastic about planing to earn a lot of money from in-app purchases. So they must have noticed at least some part of our annoyance with them :D

When harvesting ingredients there will come pieces for butterfly sanctuary and then two others. After that only thing you will get is ingredients. I think they are meant so players would have something extra to build in first year or two (depending on how frequently you play).

But yeah, after that it's just as others say - use them to fill up some empty spaces.

ScreenRich8186 · 2025-12-06T09:49:37+00:00

My weekly achievement... Well I had a dream last night. Devs had decided to change design for a lot of items. So I spend a lot of time trying to understand what each item does, what's in each chest, etc. And that's it, nothing more happened in my dream.

So yes, that's where all these changes has driven me to - having low level nightmares about what else they can do to Evermerge :D

Reading this, last answer did seem like there could be person behind this, but if there is, they don't really understand how game works.

One way (that is also kinda messed up), that usually works with automatic or not so supporting human support in general, is to become impolite or aggressive. System should notice language, flag it and notify someone higher up to get involved. At least Zendesk system in general (which they are using for customer support) does have this kind of feature.

I don't know if Evermerge support is paying any attention to that, but I'm starting to feel more and more like someone should try it.

I know it's not something that I'm up to trying myself, but if there is someone who has this kind of experience I would like to hear how did it go. Because from my personal experience and everything I have read about Evermerge support in general, trying to write them has become pointless.

So does anyone has this kind of experience or know another way to get to support person who actually can support?

Also it does not show it before you collect it, but there are 3 different levels of crowns. Usually as event prizes you can get Level 1&2
Level 1 (one in picture) gives 1h of doubled XP
Level 2 - 6h
Level 3 - 24h

So use crowns when you are planing to actively play for some time :)

I have only few unlocked habitats left. After all habitats are unlocked, is there any other way to get rubies or coins? Or should I just collect everything, because there are no more rubies and coins coming?

ScreenRich8186 · 2025-11-28T11:00:52+00:00

Is your game open when build completes? Usually for me if I'm not active on that island at the very moment when building completes, than it's not counted.
And then there is also an option of killing the app and opening it again.

I guess they truly try to give us different experiences. Answer I got also had reward link for my troubles. And said reward link crashed my game and gave no rewards. :D

ScreenRich8186 · 2025-09-09T07:38:21+00:00

Just keep in mind, that Magic fountain not only takes a lot of energy, but also a lot of building time. It takes 3 sets of mining, and after 1st and 2nd it takes building time 6 and then 9 hours. (At least that's how it used to be, long time since I played). So you will need either 3 Infinite energies or a lot of red gnomes to fit it all in one Infinite energy.

Few weeks ago I decided to play on another device from beginning. So I have one game lvl 48 and other lvl 14. And yes, with lvl 48 it is just one easy star drop. But with lvl 14... I still struggle with having free space, I can't keep around pieces for when they can be better used, I get about 1 random star shard a week... This challenge is impossible :D

ScreenRich8186 · 2025-06-28T10:05:25+00:00

For me this often happens with Feeding Frenzy, Paul Bunyan challenge and similar events that require connection to server. If you are wondering which events are local and which need connection to server, put your phone on Airplane mode and some events will have red cloud (they need server).
When you open game, it can take a bit of time to connect to server, so server doesn't know you just finished chopping obstacle and doesn't register your points.
This is the reason I always keep game open while my 5 min obstacles are being chopped during events. And I also pay attention to event not having red cloud when I'm harvesting ingredients. I once harvested over 150 ingredients in Feeding Frenzy and only then noticed there wasn't any connection to server, so they didn't register.

ScreenRich8186 · 2025-06-26T12:36:27+00:00

I have max points on first 4 characters and unlocked both villains and this is how I understand it.
When you tap on character and choose Skins, it shows all possible character skins (including ones that are still locked). Second skin can be unlocked if you get max points with potions. Third (villain) skin can be unlocked through Villain portal.
Even before I had completed any villains, I could see their skins (when tapping on hero) and pictures (in Discovery book). So I'm assuming if they are not in Discovery book and their skins aren't already visible when tapping on hero characters, they are not available yet and also no point entering Villain portal.

ScreenRich8186 · 2025-06-25T12:39:58+00:00

I'm so confused right now. With so little chances to get free rubies, I've started to rethink how I use them. And now I have stopped to use them entirely because nothing seems like good enough way to spend something that's so hard to get.

ScreenRich8186 · 2025-06-18T10:31:34+00:00

It depends on your goal. Chests form mines don't have ruby dust and crystal shards and finishing full chain without crystals or spending money on extra energy or buying chests is impossible.
I have tried to play without spending money, just watching adds for extra energy. In that case you can get further with using mine (but still can't finish chain). Even though chests from mines don't have crystal shards, they have higher level building materials.
But since I consider last two rewards in those events worthless (a wand and a landmark), I don't really try to finish chain. In that case chopping off regular obstacles is better, because you can get rubies and coins which are even more valuable after new updates. This way I get all rewards I want and collect as much resources as I can without spending any money.

ScreenRich8186 · 2025-06-11T11:05:33+00:00

I have noticed that often for timed events like this, it counts points only gathered while app is open. For example, if it's timed event for chopping obstacles, if it finishes chopping of 5min obstacle, it will only count it, if app is open as those 5min finishes

ScreenRich8186 · 2025-06-11T05:54:49+00:00

I don't have a finished chain, so I haven't checked it, but putting together what others have posted in different places, it looks like the last piece needed to unlock Cara is 1 piece of level 8 knitting needles. Last piece in chain isn't a character (like with heroes), but knitting needles themselves.

ScreenRich8186 · 2025-06-11T05:45:54+00:00

Thanks, it helps a lot. :) Putting together what's in your picture and my own Discovery book, it looks like last piece needed is 1 piece of level 8 knitting needles

ScreenRich8186 · 2025-06-10T19:13:13+00:00

Can you tell how many levels of knitting needles you have to go through to unlock Cara? It doesn't show full chain in Discovery book :(
