Last day has started. One daily quest, one extra 25 and whatever keys you find around your city.
Looks like I will miss my last level Owl by two steps...

154+45+25 = 224 keys

35 hours left = 35 more keys around the city (you should get at least this many = 259 keys

Is there another login bonus in 24 hours time? If so we're up to 284 keys

This will get 11 doors open. On average this will move you 22 steps forward.

I'm not saying it's a gimme, but you have a chance with a bit of luck, if you get more 3 step gifts than 1 step. You also could get quite a few more than 35 around your city. Just don't shuffle the board.
This event it's only 1 step per door (except doors that contain extra steps), it's not random 1-3 like the previous shuffmeboard format designed to be as random as possible.

Just a little comparision for Unur chapter:
Owl lv 10: Mana production 35700/day
Every single upgrade or research in the chapter 1000000+(milion or more) mana (28 days without counting decay for a single upgrade)

Owl lv10:T4 9870/day
Elemental Marble Manufactory lv 31(available since Elvenar chapter): 6000/3h (without enchantement), 10425/3h (enchanted)

Owl lv10:T4 9870/day
Elemental Marble Manufactory lv 31(available since Elvenar chapter): 6000/3h (without enchantement), 10425/3h (enchanted)
Owl Mana:
37,500 Mana per day, 97% as efficient as mana huts, and that's JUST the mana, no pop, culture, or moonstone!
Mana huts give 10K mana on 5 squares(4+1 road)
37,500/10,700 = 3.5
3.5 x 5sq = 17.5sq
Time for some more in-depth analysis methinks:
Level 31 Moonstone Factory.
Just over 1,200 Moonstone per square per day.
10,000/3h moonstone is 70,000 per day (5x3h+9h enchanted)​
Marble takes 13,531 pop​
Magic Residence gives 722 pop/sq (18.5 sq to cover the marble factory)​
So The Moonstone footprint is 27.5+18.5 = 46 squares not including the culture cost.
But wait, we still need to add in the T1 cost since making moonstone ain't free.
Making 70K moonstone eats up 31,500 T1​
With MM spell on that too it's about 27% of a day's production and the rest of the numbers are the same. so add another 12sq​
The footprint is now 46+12 = 58sq
Owl Moonstone:
Just over 750 Moonstone per square per day.
10,000 Moonstone per day
Gives 3,500 pop which at magic res values is -5 squares​
So Owl footprint is 18-5 = 13 squares not including the culture bonus and giving mana a value of zero.​
Owl Seeds:
The owl saves you over 3,000 seeds per day, about the equivalent of a festival merchant.
Making Moonstone in a factory ain't free.
5x3h+9h is 21,000 seeds in a day to make that 70,000 Moonstone (enchanted)
That's 3.3 Moonstone per seed.
Owl total value: 39 squares on a footprint of just 18 squares. That's an efficiency of over 200%!
So the Owl hut isn't a Michael Jordan like the Fire Phoenix nor a Gretzky like the Witch Hut, but if you use either moonstone or mana it's worth placing, and if you use both, then doubly so.
17.5 squares of mana huts
8 squares worth of a Moonstone factory chain. (58 sq/ (70K/10K ) =8.2
13.5 squares of Festival Merchants
0sq of culture because I'm lazy

I am super pleased that I got my artefact for level 10 at the last moment because the Magic ended this morning instead of around midnight! Just made it :D

With EE and there being no rush for gaining/placing expansions I've cheesed a few relic quests by always having a handful of 7/8 map provinces.;)

I've been using that trick for a while. When I have to complete encounters for quests, I go up to 7, and then move onto the next, until I hit a relic quest when it's off tempo for the tournaments.
