Editor notes

Quick take

  • Event rewards should fix the route you will keep after the event, not only the route that helped you earn them.

Editor notes

Fast decision rule

  • Check whether event assumptions still apply.
  • Check codes and updates.
  • Name the normal-route bottleneck.
  • Spend rewards on one useful post-event upgrade.

Editor notes

Reader fit

  • Players with unspent event rewards
  • Weekend event players

Editor notes

Skip if

  • You already spent the event rewards
  • The reward only has one use

Patch sensitivity

  • Last reviewed: July 5, 2026
  • Next review: After the next event reward window
  • 2 related update note(s) currently connected
  • Primary risk: the page gets weaker the moment it tries to serve too many player types at once

Editor notes

Not ideal when

  • You need a one-number answer more than a route explanation
  • A recent patch already changed the assumptions and you have not checked updates yet
  • Your real question is about pet fit or route math, not editorial guidance

Spend rewards on the route that comes next

Event rewards can tempt you to extend the event setup. If the event is ending or already over, spend toward the route you will actually run next week.

Separate event value from normal value

A pet, crop, or mutation that worked during an event may be weaker without the event window. Check the normal route before spending the reward.

Event rewards are strongest when they improve the route after the event pressure fades.

Do one freshness check first

Codes and updates can change the reward plan. Check them before spending, especially if rewards arrived near a patch or weekend event.
