Event Shop

Event Shop Information
War Commander puts on periodic Special Events, currently at about one per month. During these Events the player receives Event Experience Points (eXP) which should not be confused with the separate standard Experience Points (XP) used to raise players in Rank &amp; Levels. The eXP can be used to Unlock and obtain Special Event Prizes which consist of special Units, Buildings, Schematics and Epic Tech that would otherwise not be available to the Player.

Information Given in Event Shop

 * Which Prizes are Available or Locked.
 * the Requirements and Cost of each Prize.
 * A Description of each Prize
 * A graphical running total of eXP still needed to obtain each Prize
 * Previously purchased ( owned ) Prizes.

How The Event Shop Works

 * eXP is only valid for use during the Event in which it was earned.   The eXP does not carry over from Event to Event, hence the "Use It or Lose" name for the period after an Event.
 * The Shop is only accessible during and for a shot period after each Special Event.   The player may use their eXP at any time during and up to 48 hours after the Event, know as the "Use It Or Lose It" period.
 * The Event Shop is accessed thru the Special Event Panel.   Press the "Prizes" button to open the Event Shop while inside the Players Base.
 * Several new Prizes are added to the Shop each Special Event.   These are usually but not always related to the theme or story of the Event.
 * Most Previous Event Prizes are available in the Shop.   See Past Event Prize Availability below for more information.
 * Prizes have Requirements that must be met before they can be Unlocked.   Some require the player to have a Tech Center of a certain level. Others require that a certain other common Unit or Special Event Prize to be Unlocked first.  If the player is lacking in a requirement it will be displayed over that Prize.
