The Poseidon’s Day event in Evony: The King’s Return looks like a relaxed side activity at first. There are no monsters to fight, no marches to manage, and no city battles. Instead, the whole event revolves around diving into the ocean and collecting treasures.
Because of that, many players ignore it or treat it casually.
That’s actually a mistake. If you play the event properly, Poseidon’s Day can become a surprisingly good source of gems, speedups, buffs, and ranking rewards. The key is understanding how the diving system works and when to use your resources.
Let’s walk through the event step-by-step so you can get the most value out of it.
Evony Poseidon Day Event Guide 2026 – Rewards
Poseidon’s Day is a limited-time fishing and diving event found inside the Event Center.
Instead of traditional gameplay, you control a hook that descends into the ocean. While diving, you collect sea creatures, treasure items, and event objects.
The deeper your hook travels, the rarer the rewards become.
There are two main areas where dives take place:
Common Sea Area – easier dives with basic rewards
Prime Sea Area – deeper dives with higher-value rewards
The Prime Sea gives better items, but it requires special entry items and preparation.
How the Fishing Dive Works
When starting a dive, the hook drops into the ocean after a short countdown.
At the beginning of the dive, you receive a brief invincibility bubble that allows you to pass through obstacles without damage.
Once the bubble disappears, you must guide the hook downward while avoiding hazards like:
- rocks
- jellyfish
- moving obstacles
As you descend, you collect objects such as fish, rare sea creatures, statues, and treasure items.
Each item has a star rating from 1 to 5 stars.
Lower-star items appear frequently near the surface, while 4-star and 5-star items appear much deeper in the ocean.
That’s why reaching deeper depths becomes the main goal.
Important Gear Upgrades
Poseidon’s Day includes three pieces of gear that make your dives easier. These upgrades are extremely important if you want better rewards.
All three upgrades use Poseidon Ancient Coins.
Each item can be upgraded to level 10.
Cable Rope
The Cable Rope determines how deep your hook can travel.
Upgrading this allows your dives to reach deeper areas of the ocean where rarer creatures spawn.
Most experienced players upgrade this first because deeper dives mean better rewards.
Lead Sinker
The Lead Sinker increases invincibility duration.
This means you can safely pass through obstacles for a longer time at the beginning of each dive.
It helps reduce early mistakes and makes deep dives easier.
Fish Hook
The Fish Hook increases the maximum number of catches per dive.
If your catch limit is too small, you may reach deep areas but miss valuable items because your inventory is already full.
Upgrading this prevents that problem.
Unlocking Net Casting
Once all three gear pieces reach level 10, a special feature called Net Casting becomes available.
Net Casting allows you to gather additional rewards during dives, increasing your overall event earnings.
Because of this, maxing your gear early in the event can significantly boost your results later.
Special Items That Improve Your Dive
During the event you’ll collect special support items that enhance dives.
These include:
Stabilizer – protects against obstacles
Lamp – improves underwater visibility
Sensor – helps locate rare items
Conch Horn – triggers special reward opportunities
There is also a reward voucher that increases the rewards obtained from a dive.
These items are powerful, but using them too early in the event can waste their potential.
Most players save them for deeper dives later in the event.
Why Deeper Dives Matter
The deeper you travel, the higher the chance of finding rare rewards.
Generally speaking, players should aim for depths around:
350–550 meters or deeper
This range significantly increases the chances of encountering 4-star and 5-star catches.
Shallow dives mainly produce low-star creatures, which give fewer rewards and slower progress.
Collection Rewards and Star Milestones
Every creature or object you catch contributes to your collection progress.
Each catch has a star value that adds to your total.
As your star total increases, you unlock milestone rewards such as:
- gems
- speedups
- refine stones
- runestone chests
- gold
- event buffs
These milestone rewards are easy to obtain just by playing the event consistently.
Even players who don’t compete in rankings can earn a decent amount of rewards here.
The Ranking Leaderboard
Poseidon’s Day also includes a competitive leaderboard.
Players who collect the most points during the event climb the rankings.
Top players can receive rewards such as:
- large amounts of gems
- rare chests
- special decorations
- powerful buffs
- valuable upgrade materials
Even if you don’t reach the top rankings, participating regularly still gives worthwhile rewards.
Sea Angler Levels
Another mechanic that many players overlook is the Sea Angler Level system.
As you collect event points, your angler level increases.
Each new level provides:
- bonus rewards
- score multipliers
- increased event efficiency
Some multipliers can increase rewards by 20% to 50%, making later dives much more profitable.
Smart Strategy for the Prime Sea Area
The Prime Sea Area contains the best rewards in the event.
However, entering it too early is a common mistake.
If your gear is still low level, you won’t be able to dive deep enough to reach the rare creatures.
A better strategy is to:
Upgrade gear first
Save special dive items
Enter Prime Sea after upgrades improve
Waiting until your equipment is stronger dramatically increases your results.
A Small but Important Catch Limit
During dives you can only collect a limited number of items.
For example, early dives may allow around 11 catches per run.
If you collect too many common items early, your inventory can fill up before reaching rare objects.
Once you have already collected certain creatures, try to avoid catching duplicates and focus on items you still need.
This helps complete collections faster.
Poseidon’s Day might not be the most exciting event in Evony, but it quietly offers a lot of valuable rewards for players who participate.
The event rewards patience and preparation more than anything else.
A few simple habits can improve your results dramatically:
Upgrade diving gear early
Save special items for deep dives
Aim for depths above 350 meters
Avoid wasting catch slots on duplicates
Play it smart, and Poseidon’s Day can become one of the easiest ways to earn extra gems, resources, and event rewards during the week.
