Ive noticed that too, they're quite hard to find. Ive used many energy bars, much more than 4, and only found a few of them.

496 steps taken and only 6/45 encounters found

Yeah I’ve just blasted through nearly 200 energy on this acc and have gotten absolutely nothing. Maybe it needs to be turned up again? Considering this was designed to be three ROs but, in abbeys words “may take a bit longer”, it’s seeming like this is going to take a good week to fully complete but won’t know until we know what the third days quest is

You have not fulfilled your task yet.

It’s a struggle out here, I’ve used the the first energy bar when waking up, the free refill, the 30% hyperactive, the gorilla quest energy, an energy boost, and two level ups.

I would be thrilled to pass through this stage & at least see if the next cooldown is lurking just beyond this stage :D <3

About the 'designed to take 3 RO's', though... I believe that's sort of a stretch? I believe it was only mentioned that it would take at least 3 rollovers, minimum- meaning there's = 3 built-in "Wait until Rollover" to pass.
Nothing about it being only a 3-day quest...
The official word was that some stages may take longer to complete.

(I'm trying to set my own expectations here, maybe i'll be less antsy about my Roasted Lamb energy refills )

Good luck all!

646/1000 steps
6 encounters...
1 encounter per 1-2 full energy bars :( I used few energy boost, but it is waste of money... 45-90 boosts to complete event task early? No thanks. So it will took about 5 days or a week so I don't like it. Very boring..

Once you start the quests you can take your time. There's no time limit once you get the ball rolling. Taking my time is what I'll be doing. I'm not rushing over something that's not guaranteed. Lol

There is a time limit you have to be done by August if I remember correctly

@Trigger
No, it’s a time limit to start the quest, not finish it
