🎁 Rewards

What the rewards include:

  • Common items — these can also be found or purchased in the game.

  • Exclusive items — available only during this event.

  • Once you successfully complete a level, the reward is automatically added to your inventory.

The more you play, the faster you’ll advance through the levels and unlock even better rewards!

I might run events like this every season, with new rewards and conditions.
