Yes, it will be a tile - amuni themed event

It's not connected to any of these screenshots, next scheduled event is Amuni/archeology themed.
Even completing the event building is most likely going to require purchasing event currency by the looks of it.
The complete set requires 260 staves which will cost anywhere from 5720 - 7500 event currency. I'm estimating 3750 from quests, 630 from daily gift and 400 from pick ups. That still leaves players a 1-3k event currency short.
My simulations show that with 5700 SK earned (not won in chests) you only get your expected score just above 260, this still means that 50% of people won't reach that score. Even more considering that people will get nowhere near 5700 SK.
I remember doing the same calculations last year and with the amount of currency I've won from quests and pickups, and I calculated an average score of around 280, and only 5% of players would not get to 260 with all quests completed and decent pickup rates.
How many will people get?Even more considering that people will get nowhere near 5700 SK.

No idea, I thought it was somewhat linear though or could at least be estimated within a couple points. (I'm not doing the event on Beta so I don't know)Do we know yet the rewards from the final few quests?

Lets try and do some calculations.
Quests SK=3854
daily reward of 30 SK times 23 days = 690
Subtract more. It is more like every hour. I've seen it come as fast as 40 minutes, but also nothing for over an hour. When people worked on counting for 24 hours, it worked out to once an hour.I noticed I get some new SP in my town every 40 minutes so that will be 24/2*3=36 a day *23 days = 828
(I know you will be sleeping but during that time the SK still drops and you can get up to 3 SK for 1 drop that is why I will keep the number 828)
The values are projected to be 63, 63 64 and 64.

So what would be the point of playing this event, if it's rigged against us?
Yes. But the chances are too chintzy.Every single event for maybe two years now, that uses the 3 chest/beacon system had needed about 1000 event currency won back in order to complete an evolving building or building set.
I have played in Events where I have won no extra Event Currency at all. In fact, I typically win so little Event Currency (I have never won more than a few hundred) that I decided after perhaps half-a-dozen Events to completely ignore the random chances of winning back extra Currency and instead to open chests solely on the basis of their face value. While mathematicians will probably disagree with my choice, I would always prefer a certain result, even if less impressive, over the purely random possibility of a better or worse outcome, amongst which is the chance to win nothing at all in return for spending greater amounts. I don't like uncertainty in any sphere, and especially not in a hobby-level game.The difference between bare minimum needed and the amount you can get is 5720-5372=348 / I guess everyone will get enough extra SK from opening the chests to hit the 260 mark.
I don't have the same recollection. I've been playing for something over 3½ years, and while I do recall [a couple of] the (very) 'old-style' Events featuring three Grand Prizes, with the third being almost always unattainable without paying for extra Event Currency (although that said, the other two Grand Prizes - which could be obtained by any reasonably active player for free - were typically pretty impressive on their own, and the third was never actually required in order to make the other two definitely useful/desirable enough to place in one's City, unlike most of the more recent Sets and Evolving Buildings), I also remember the (less) 'old-style' Events between then and about a year (or a bit more) ago.Every single event for maybe two years now, that uses the 3 chest/beacon system had needed about 1000 event currency won back in order to complete an evolving building or building set.
