During the event, governors will have a chance to find 
Leaves when collecting resources in the city, gathering on the map, or defeating barbarians.
Event Boxes contain 1- 5 Leaves, and have a chance to contain an exclusive city theme: Dragon Boat Wish.
Spending 7,000 
gems to unlock the premium rewards is 100% worth it! Especially if you are a free-to-play player!
But don’t do it yet!
If you don’t have 57,000 gems, you want to wait until the last day of the event to unlock it. You want to wait a bit because the More Than Gems event could come in the next few days (No one knows!).
If you can spend these 7,000 gems during the More Than Gems event, you will make the most of them. and you will also get 7,000 gems back from the event rewards eventually!
You need approximately 1,700 Bamboo Leaves to complete the Mouth-Watering Zongzi event, which is about 1200-1300 Bamboo Leaf Boxes depending on your luck.
It’s gonna be a long grind so here are some more tips for you to speed it up!
Gathering Resources
First, there is a small trick for gathering resources so you will get the boxes faster.
Set up your dispatches so that they can load about 100k resources per time. 100k load gives you the most boxes for the shortest amount of time. This has been tested and proven.
If you are lazier, you can teleport to Zone 1 and farm low-level resource nodes here.
Pick the right gathering commanders!
You want to gather what they are best at, depending on their skills and talent trees.
Check your device often because they will be gathering pretty fast. It’s best to play Rise of Kingdoms on PC so that you can track everything down easier.
Last but not least, ensure your 
Gathering Boost is always running!
Farming Barbarians
You want to be chaining two to three Barbarians at a time okay.
Don’t spend all of your 
AP until the last few days in case there will be a farming event, Barbarian Farming or a Lohar’s Trial Event.
Make sure you can double-dip on any event
City Production
You can also get the event boxes from collecting city resource productions.
Generally, you want to collect them every 1-2 hours and don’t let them max out so you can get the maximum amount of boxes possible.
You want to use the 
Food Production Boosts during this event!
Strange Incidents Event
