Event Overview
The event has multiple sub-tabs:
- Lucky Pearl: Where you spend Fortune Pearls to get points.
- Sea Breeze Gift: Where you complete tasks to earn rewards, and can pay to unlock additional rewards.
- Trove Store: Where you spend your points to buy rewards.
- Curious Puzzle: Where you complete tasks to earn rewards, including up to 40 Fortune Pearls.
- Joyful Sign-in: Where you collect daily sign-in rewards, and can pay to unlock Extra Rewards.
- Beach Limited: Where you can purchase packs to obtain more Fortune Pearls.
While the sub-events provide several useful rewards, the main prizes are obtained by spending points earned from Fortune Pearls in the Trove Store.
1. Points per Fortune Pearl
To estimate the average number of points obtained from each Fortune Pearl, we collected data from multiple players.
Across 4,584 Fortune Pearls, players received 229,150 points, resulting in an average of ~49.99 points per Fortune Pearl.
For simplicity, we will use:
1 Fortune Pearl = 50 points
Note:
- Small samples can vary due to RNG
- Larger samples become much more stable
- For planning purposes, 50 points per Fortune Pearl is a very reliable baseline
2. Points Milestones
In this event, players are usually aiming for one or more of these point milestones:
| Points |

| 1,000 |
Level Reversion Mushrooms |

| 25,000 |

- Free players can aim for a 3-Star Orange Insect, Mutation Items, or Level Reversion Mushrooms.
- Light spenders may target multiple of the above items.
- Mid spenders may target one Premium Reward.

- Note: Premium Rewards may include the latest generation insects, special ants, new anthill skins, new march skins, evolution meteorite chests, luxury mutation chests, hard branches, etc.

- The lower-priced Pearl Packs are by far the most efficient in terms of price per Fortune Pearl, but provide a limited amount of Fortune Pearls in total.
- The cheapest Insect Pack is still more expensive in price per Fortune Pearl than the most expensive Pearl Pack.
- However, Insect Packs can be useful if you are only missing a small number of Fortune Pearls to reach a target point threshold, and do not have a low price Pearl Pack remaining to purchase.
- In addition to these paid packs, you also receive 40 Fortune Pearls from Daily Gift Tasks, and 2 Fortune Pearls from Day 1 Login and the tutorial. You also receive some Fortune Pearls from additional sources which we will cover below.
In addition to the packs above and the 42 free Fortune Pearls, pearls can also be obtained through milestones and side-events.

4. Costs to Reach Each Milestone
Using the calculations above, we can estimate the cost for each of the point milestones. Costs are approximate and may vary slightly depending on RNG.
4.1 3,000 Points
Cost: Free (you should get roughly 3,000+ points naturally, depending on side-event progress and RNG)
This allows you to comfortably purchase a 3-Star Orange Insect, Mutation Items, or Level Reversion Mushrooms with some points left over.
4.2 25,000 Points
Total Cost: ~$256 (you need approximately 500 Fortune Pearls)
How you reach 25,000 points:

You can leave the $50 packs for the last day. Ideally you do not want to skip the $5 Pearl Pack in the first four days, as you never know how your luck turns out to be. The decision to purchase or skip the fifth $5 Pearl Pack can be made on the last day.
Total: 500 Fortune Pearls → $256
4.3 50,000 Points

Total: 1,006 Fortune Pearls → $606
5. HOW THE EVENT WORKS
Once you understand the cost, here is how the event mechanics work:
5.1 Lucky Pearl
This is where you use your Fortune Pearls to get points. Based on player data, the average points per pearl were extremely consistent across users, with only about 0.5 points per pearl of variation. This suggests that the position from which you launch the pearls likely does not affect the number of points you receive.
It is unconfirmed whether the launch position affects the two additional rewards on the path.
The reward path contains additional rewards, each requiring 50 hits from Fortune Pearls to be obtained. A single pearl can hit one or both of the additional rewards multiple times. After a reward is completed, it is replaced by the next reward in the sequence.
Left Rewards include:
- Cell Items
- Fungi Items
- Soldier Reform Chests
- Awakening Proteins
- Tertiary Eggs
Right Rewards include:
- DNA Items
- Germ Items
- Insect Items
So the Lucky Pearl tab is a simple and straightforward way to convert your Fortune Pearls to points, while receiving other rewards in the process.
5.2 Sea Breeze Gift
This section has two parts. The first part is the ‘Gift Tasks’ tab, where you can complete daily tasks to obtain 8 Fortune Pearls per day, along with some resources, and Sea Breeze Gift Points. The Sea Breeze Gift Points are different from the main points called Beach Points, and their utility will be explained in the second part of the section.
The second part is the Sea Breeze Gift tab, where you get rewards based on the Sea Breeze Gift Points you collect in the Gift Tasks tab. It offers a variety of different useful items, and the option to purchase Superior Rewards for $1, and Premium Rewards for $10, giving you additional bonuses based on the number of Sea Breeze Gift Points you obtain. As a free-to-play player who does the daily tasks daily, you will be able to get the maximum point threshold without issues.
5.3 Trove Store
All Beach Points are spent here.
Key Rewards:
- 25,000 points → premium rewards (insects, ants, etc.)
- Lower tiers → less valuable filler rewards
Important:
- The store does not refresh during the event
- The store remains open for 1 extra day after the event ends
5.4 Curious Puzzle
This is a place where you get rewards for completing certain tasks. There is a 5×3 grid of tasks and you get some rewards for completing a task, better rewards for completing a row or column of tasks, and the best reward, which includes 40 Fortune Pearls, for completing all tasks. Unfortunately free players can only complete 14 of the 15 tasks, as the last task requires you to purchase any $10 or higher pack (with the exception of subscription agreement, Revival Fungi or Antcoin packs) during the event.
5.5 Joyful Sign-in
Here you get rewards, including Fortune Pearls, for signing in on each day of the event, which includes the 6th day when the event ends but the store is open. You can buy Extra Rewards for $1, granting you prizes including 2 Fortune Pearls, in addition to the 1 you get for free without purchasing the Extra Rewards.
5.6 Beach Limited
This tab contains the event packs.
These packs provide:
- Fortune Pearls
- Insect Eggs
If your only goal is event progression, focus on the packs with the best effective Fortune Pearl value, as shown in the earlier section.
