Special events in the game constitute the primary means by which resource management is expanded but also provide structure for holiday and theme-based missions and quests.
Up to a point the pivotal events of this sort have been addressed within the content of each section of the guide, however due to the odd vagaries of the game and how it flags these events, they do not always happen in the same order and at the same time for every player.
In view of these differences I decided to handle them separately by creating this section to cover - in general - the events, quests, missions, and resources management events that you may want to know about but that do not necessarily take place in a predictable fashion within the guide.
That being the case (and this is mentioned at various points in the main guide sections) you may want to refer to this section for information about the specific events - or not - your call :) Just be aware that the major events will get their own page under this section of the guide.
Special events can be one-off, annual, repeating, or time and date sensitive, while others can be triggered by level or other Actions in the game.
