What Is the Zen Event?
The Zen Event is a themed event following the Prehistoric Event. It introduces a brand-new area known as the Event Island, which is home to the Monk NPC—the central figure in this peaceful, nature-focused celebration. This event uses a special currency called Chi, earned by completing quests and progressing through the event content.
How Zen Quests Work
When you enter the Zen Event Island, you’ll be greeted by Monk Unc, who will give you three randomly selected quests. These quests must be completed to earn Chi and unlock rewards in the Zen-themed shop.
- The quests are randomly generated from a preset list.
- You can skip a quest by paying 89 Shekels, allowing you to reroll for a new one.
- Quest types can range from harvesting plants, mutating pets, buying items, or exploring specific features.
Make sure to check back regularly to complete as many as possible before the event ends.
