🖼️ Visual quick guide
Open the full-size visual guide.🟦 Facts
- Season 2 Celebration begins immediately after Polar World settlement and lasts about five weeks.
- Celebration Week 1 starts the Age of Oil mission and the permanent Oil economy.
- Base Expansion II opens another section of the base and can include Oil rewards while clearing the newly opened area.
- Hero Mobilization is a recruiting-focused Celebration mission with a recruiting ranking component.
- Transfer Surge / server-transfer content can also appear during the first Celebration week depending on the rollout.
🛢️ Best Week 1 order
- Check your entry readiness. Confirm whether your account can immediately unlock Age of Oil, or whether you still need to keep normal HQ growth moving.
- Unlock Oil production as early as possible. Earlier Oil income benefits every later day of progression.
- Clear Base Expansion II deliberately. Collect the Oil and progression rewards in the new area instead of ignoring it after the initial unlock.
- Use Hero Mobilization intelligently. Recruit only when it still matches your normal account plan.
- Check the live Celebration timer. If Transfer Surge or server-transfer content appears, treat the live timer as the source of truth.
🚀
If you are HQ30-ready
Week 1 is your chance to start compounding Oil income immediately. Push the permanent Age of Oil route first, then layer optional event efficiency on top of it.
🧱
If you are still catching up
Do not freeze your whole account just because Celebration began. Keep normal HQ progression moving, use the systems you can access, and work toward Tech Center 30 and the Oil unlock realistically.
⚠️ Week 1 traps
- Delaying Oil production because a leaderboard looks urgent.
- Recruiting just to spend tickets when Hero Mobilization does not fit your plan.
- Ignoring Base Expansion II rewards after the first click.
- Assuming every server starts the same side event on the same weekday.
🟩 BlackBar Gaming recommends
- Oil production has compounding value, so Age of Oil research and Oil Wells outrank most short-lived Celebration optimizations.
- Treat rankings as optional optimization unless the reward materially justifies changing your normal growth plan.
- If your account is not HQ30-ready, make realistic progress rather than comparing yourself to accounts that can already push HQ31.
🟥 Warning
- Celebration start weekday and side-event timing have changed on newer servers. Follow the live Celebration screen when an older guide shows a different day.
