Runes on the Advent Calendar

[verdancy]

What are the runes on the advent calendar supposed to do? I supposedly just got another one from the calendar, but it didn't seem to change any of the numbers in the Arena Manager display or show up in my inventory. Are they good for something?

They add few% to your already sacrificed runes (left).

Does that mean the advent calendar "bonus" does nothing until you've sacrificed your arena and have some runes? I've never sacrificed my arena and don't have any runes.

Exactly


buuuuuut, you are supposed to sacrifice at the very least once per day, why do you keep all the runes?

But how can you build it big enough to be worth sacrificing every day? It's taken me months just to get enough $ to build the first 5 structures! No telling how long it'll take to get 5 trillion for the last structure. And if I sacrifice now I only get 1 rune.

It's the daily login calendar. The advent calendar is only in the game in December.

It is not about your arena manager's money, but you need to generate runes, then sacrifice your progress for even more runes.

But you don't seem to get offered runes until you've built a bunch of things, and that requires arena manager money, right? The Sacrifice box showed 0 runes until a few days ago. Seems like it was building Drinks that finally changed it to 1 rune, and it's taken months for me to afford that! At this rate it'll take years to get 1,000 runes!

For every rune you sacrifice your income goes up by 5%, which means the more runes you have, the faster you earn money and the more new runes you get which you can then sacrifice again to earn money even faster.

Are you upgrading the structures you unlock or just leaving them at 1?

This happens at the start. Eventually you will get so many runes that you will have big numbers just seconds after sacrificing. Be patient
