Rise of Kingdoms Night of Sevens Event: Complete Qixi Festival Guide 2026
Along with the 1.1.10: Starry Rendezvous update, Rise of Kingdoms has launched the massive Night of Sevens Qixi Event Series festival. This seasonal event, inspired by the traditional Chinese Qixi Festival, combines six different activities with unique mechanics and valuable rewards. In this guide, we break down each activity and share tips on how to maximize your results.
What is Night of Sevens in Rise of Kingdoms?
Night of Sevens is a festival event tied to the Qixi Festival, which in 2026 is celebrated on August 19. In the game, the event is available to governors in regions where all kingdoms have existed for at least 21 days. The main theme — stars, wishes, and romance — is reflected in the design and mechanics of the activities.
The event includes six different activities, each offering unique gameplay and rewards. Important: some activities open at different times, so keep an eye on the in-game event calendar.
All Night of Sevens Festival Activities
1. Esmeralda's Prayer
The first activity is luck-based. Governors can test their fortune and receive valuable prizes through the draw system. This is a classic lottery mechanic where the chance of rare rewards depends on the number of attempts. Tip: evaluate your resources before participating and don't spend everything on the first day — the event lasts several weeks.
2. Esmeralda's Collection
The second activity complements the first and focuses on collecting items. By participating in both Esmeralda activities, you can get maximum rewards. Skipping one of them will significantly reduce your overall result.
3. Riches Unveiled
This activity offers relaxed gameplay: you need to collect Palette Knives and use them to restore murals. Treasures are hidden beneath each mural and become available as you restore the painting.
Tips for completing:
- Complete available event tasks daily.
- Save required items until the end of the event.
- Check which additional activities provide materials for progression.
4. Arms Training
PvE fans will appreciate the return of Armsmaster Lohar. In this activity, governors battle Lohar, who becomes stronger with each fight. The goal is to survive as many rounds as possible and receive rewards based on your performance.
Preparation for Arms Training:
- Use your strongest PvE commanders.
- Before starting, make sure you have enough troops.
- Focus on commanders with high damage and survivability.
5. Runes Among Ruins
An exploration activity where governors follow clues to find lost runes and claim daily rewards. The mechanic encourages regular participation, so it's recommended to log into the game every day.
To maximize rewards:
- Complete daily objectives whenever possible.
- Don't skip event days.
- Track progress through the event interface.
6. Governors' Choice
The final festival activity is social. Governors give roses to express appreciation and affection, creating a kingdom-wide popularity competition. Unlike combat activities, Governors' Choice focuses on player interaction and adds a social element to the Qixi celebration.
How to Prepare for the Night of Sevens Event
Although each activity has different requirements, several general strategies will help you get the best results:
Check the event calendar. Night of Sevens includes several activities that may open at different times. Before starting, study the schedule, note the start and end times, and plan your daily participation.
Save resources in advance. Festival events often require completing various tasks, including resource collection, battles, or item usage. Before the Qixi event starts, save:
- Action Points
- Speedups
- Resources (food, wood, stone, gold)
- Commander training materials
Participate every day. Several Qixi activities provide daily opportunities for progression. Missing multiple days may substantially reduce your overall rewards, especially for events involving daily tasks, collection progress, and exploration objectives.
