We're kicking off the new year with a story so old it's ancient history (ok, it's mythology, but still). To earn immortality and join his father Zeus on Mount Olympus, demigod Hercules was instructed to complete 12 seemingly impossible feats that became known as the Labors of Hercules.
This January, you'll follow in his footsteps as you progress through 12 stops on your path to the summit of Mount Egglympus!
Tradepost and Currency
|
|
Look for this tradepost icon to find missions & feats to accomplish. Instead of impossible tasks from King Eurystheus, you'll be getting achievable assignments from Sheldon. Send him the eggs he asks for, and you'll be awarded Obols to help you complete the event. |
What are Obols?Once upon a time, they were ancient Greek coins & weight measures. |
 |
How do we get Obols?
1. Hunting in New Yolk
2. Challenge rewards
3. Tradepost prizes for completing feats (aka sending requested eggs to Sheldon)
What do we do with Obols?Mostly just collect them to pay for your passage to the summit of Mount Egglympus. The trades for Obols will be "milestones" and will NOT deduct currency from your account. How do we "climb" this imaginary mountain?As you complete trades and collect Obols, you'll see the path revealed before you. There are two trades per day, available at different times. One gives you Obols for sending eggs, and one rewards you for collecting Obols. |
The trades for Obols will be "milestones," and will NOT deduct currency from your account.
What's this about the Labors of Hercules?
It's the Exclusive series this month! You can find it hunting with a diamond key in New Yolk, AND you can get the full dozen from the tradepost.

I can't see any dots! What's going on?
We created an illustration of a path up scenic Mount Egglympus. It's like the Hatchlings version of one of these illustrations:
As you collect Obols, more of the path is revealed, with colored dots representing stops along the way. The path and dots are just there to add interest and mark progress -- you don't have to interact with them, so don't worry if they're hidden behind your basket, or you prefer to hunt with no background.
Is the start flag supposed to be behind the basket/icon/challenge tray?
Well, no, but everyone's screen crops the background differently based on device size, orientation, window zoom, etc. You don't need to click on anything in the background, so don't worry.
My device won't show me the whole background, so I can't tell what's going on with the path -- how do I keep going?
The path is just a cute illustration. If you are keeping up with the tradepost trades, you won't miss out on anything. Below is an in-progress example of what the scenic background and path illustration look like full-height, though. This player is not quite halfway to the final summit.
