Events are time-limited contests to win various rewards, dependent on the type of event. Most events that occur pit {{chr}}s against each other in various and conditions, though some events involve completion of individual tasks or as a team (such as events as a member of a [[Clans|Clan]]). There are often two areas for obtaining rewards; completion of milestones and final placement on a leaderboard.

==Accessing==
Events can be accessed by pressing the [[File:Events Button.png|100px]] Events tab on the main (islands) screen. This tab rotates event names, icons and countdown timers and when pressed, opens the ''Limited-Time Events'' screen, displaying all events currently running. 

==Participation==
Trainers can take part in most events after reaching [[Player Level|Level 7]], but {{ctg|Clan Events}} require Level 25 (the prerequisite for Trainers to join a Clan). Most events are worldwide and allow any Trainer to participate, though some events have limitations and only those who qualify can take part. {{ctg|Exclusive Events}} allow only those of a specific country or platform to participate. Some events require an active [[VIP Status]].

Selecting any available event's window displays the conditions to compete in it, the prizes that can be won (from the milestone or leaderboard), and the option to take part through the {{btn|sm|green|{{sp}}{{sp}}{{sp}}{{sp}}{{sp}}Participate!{{sp}}{{sp}}{{sp}}{{sp}}{{sp}}}} button. Once pressed, there is no option to cancel participation, and the position and score of the Trainer become available in the section above the milestone rewards. Additionally, there are some events in which Trainers take part in automatically.

==Start Times==
Minor events generally start at 15:00 {{wp|Coordinated Universal Time|UTC}} and end at 07:00 {{wp|Coordinated Universal Time|UTC}}. Major events generally start at 12:00 {{wp|Coordinated Universal Time|UTC}} with end times that vary. The start times of recurrent events sometimes get adapted to a major event running at that time to ensure consistency.

==Chronology of Events==
===Current Year===
[[Events {{#time:Y}}]]
{{GASTop}}
===Previous Years===
Please visit {{ctg|Events of Past Years}} for older events.

==Quasi-Events==
While not events in the true sense of the word, {{dotm}} and {{dotw}} are breeding events whose sole purpose is to successfully breed a {{ltd}} in the allotted time. 

Lastly, there is another type of event called [[Frenzy Days]] which are not a competition, and there is no prize awarded at the end of such events. These events run for 24 hours, during which a certain {{ctg|In-Game Currency|currency}} or resource is made obtainable in larger amounts than usual.

==Limited-Time Event Ship==
{{floatimage|[[File:Featured Dragon Ship.png|150px]]|15}}
The (Limited-Time) Event Ship is a ship anchored beside a pier southwest of the [[Main Island]]. Whenever Limited-Time Dragons are featured as prizes for any type of event, one appears on the deck of the ship, and tapping it opens the event screen for that event. Dragons featured in time-limited breeding events also appear inside a button in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.

==Scoring & Rewards==
The {{btn|sm|green|{{i|Ranking|i}}}} button, found next to the position and score, displays the position and scores of opposing {{chr}}s. Additionally, when Dragons are offered as the first prize, the {{btn|sm|yellow| i ||lowercase}} appears next to their name, pressing it displays the Dragon's [[Dragon Codex#Base Codex Entry|base Codex Entry]].

The maximum score Trainers can have in an event is limited by the {{wp|2147483647 (number)#In computing|in-game technical capacity of 2,147,483,647}}, except for {{ctg|Gold Spending Events|Gold Spending}} and {{ctg|Gold Collecting Events|Gold Collecting}} Events, which have no limit. Thus, in theory, if there are events where the number of Trainers with the maximum score exceeds the number of allotted spots for the main prize, all Trainers with that score will receive the prize. However, the maximum score displayed is not, from a technical standpoint, ''at maximum'', as it is unlikely to have even scores at this stage. This is further sustained by the fact that amounts over two billion are only represented by the first digits.

Wherever [[Food]] and [[Gold]] are offered as prizes, the amount earned changes by a certain [[Level Modifier]] that increases the higher the Trainer's level. The modifier can change whenever a Trainer's level increases, affecting the amount of Food and Gold earned from an event the Trainer might be taking part in.

===Level Brackets===
Most events are based on the [[Player Level|Trainer's Level]], giving different leaderboard brackets for groups by level. Therefore, the higher the level, the tougher the competition may be. Additionally, if the number of Trainers in the same level bracket exceeds the number of positions on a leaderboard, multiple groups of Trainers will exist, meaning the event will not be limited to the number of said positions. Level brackets also affect the milestones of events.
