@Buttrflwr You may be surprised at how far you get. I've been in the middle of a move
I currently have 9 evolutions. My quest currency award has topped out at 188 event currency per quest which is a huge amount.
One of the reasons I don't object to produce toolboxes (although I do object to the same quest 3 out of 4 times no matter what quest it is because that is quite simply tedious and boring) is that while I may get short on supplies it won't impede my progress long term and I can use the supply enchant or windfall to restore them.
I do use speedboosts for many things and do so to shorten the time on the toolbox quests because since I like the 85 chest, I do get a lot of 8 hour boosts. I don't usually use them outside of the event other than the 2 hour one that I do when I am short on troops.
Now, while I am perfectly content that I am on track to fully evolve 2 bears by the end of the event, I do still have issues with the valuation of the quests, because quests that are effectively free like spend KP and quests that are costly in goods or time such as buy KP, scouting, and the tool box quest should not reward the same amount of currency to me. It also means that if you get a toolbox quest and it awards 3x amount of currency as the 9 hour quest, most people probably won't be as frustrated with it.
@Drea It may be possible in the way it was in the mermaid that if you go through how many ever cycles on the grand prizes you got another mermaid. I'm not sure if you will in this one because you may have to acquire 27 bear artifacts first.
