Join the new world

Dear swiss people and friends, hello!

OK, so for the 12th anniversary of erepublik, i only expected them to bring out the weekly challenge, and to also perhaps add a few small rewards in it too, but thankfully i was wrong:

they've added the ''amazing journey'' quest/event, and its basically a huge world map where you can explore many areas, and you can unlock each ''area'' +its rewards by either waiting (for some hours), OR, by paying to unlock it with your CC's.

the first area can be unlocked instantly, (it will still cost you time or CC's tho), but the other areas will be gradually unlocked, with the (now) usual dillema of ''time or CC's''.

for more info, i shall post the whole info of the event, based on the great article of CrOmieIga.

In order to claim the gifts, you will need to unlock the location that holds them on the special event map. Depending on the location you choose you’ll have to wait between 1 to 8 hours to complete the unlock.

After you unlock a gift, you'll need to prove yourself a worthy citizen who does a little bit more than just logging in. During the event, the energy consumed and traveled distance will be logged, and a bit of each will be deducted when claiming a gift.

You can also use your currency to speed up your unlocks or recover some lost time.

You can add up to 3 locations in the unlock queue until day 4,390 [27 Nov 2019 23:59:59].

At the beginning of the event you’ll be able to pick to unlock any location as your starting point. Once your first location is unlocked, you'll only be able to choose from the locations which are directly linked to it. Use the 6 hours remaining to the start of the event to plan your path wisely.

A gift in an unlocked location can be claimed at any time until Day 4,391 [28 nov 2019 23:59:59], provided you have the required traveled kilometers and consumed energy. Kilometers and energy are counted starting Day 4,383 [20 Nov 2019 00:00:00] until Day 4,390 [27 Nov 2019 23:59:59]

PS. While some people might agree/disagree, for some, a recommended starting point is 24 Porta Delgada as it has perma bonus, access to both hemispheres and 3 routes to queue from the beginning of the event.

PS2: Actually the optimal route is pack related, acc (ground/air) related, rl time related so no general recommendations can be shared.
UPD. Miles and ff added
UPD2. Mind map added

from the quoted post above (only the quoted part, not the first paragraph), it was taken from the skilled writer, CrOmieIga.

OK, so THERE YOU HAVE IT:
a hard quest, which will be the most rewarding if you FIRST unlock the ''Porta Delgada'' area, because it has permanent energy bonus, access to both hemispheres and 3 routes to queue from the beginning of the event, as many people wisely said.

(personally, i did the same too, after seeing all of the area's rewards. +120 permanent energy is always great!)

and as usual, have a nice day people, and have fun in this wild anniversary event!
oh, and happy birthday, erepublik!
