Summer of Passion is a brand new Rise of Kingdoms event that released in ROK Patch Notes 1.0.36. This is one of the event where you will work closely with your alliance members to earn rewards. The Summer of Passion event is 10 days long and contains various mini events like Summer Night Memories, Summer Party and my favorite, Sea of Fireflies.
In general, Summer of Passion isn’t a bad event. But it would be great if it’s easy to get more legendary commander sculptures as a free-to-play player.
Sea of Fireflies

In this mini event, you need to earn Chest Points which can be done by adding Fragrant Nectar. You can collect this item by doing events such as Protect the Supplies, killing the barbarians and more.
When your alliance members max out the chest points, all alliance members will get a chance to open a chest. Every player can open up to 10 chest during the event. If you already opened all 10 chests, you will not get more chest points.
Since Sea of Fireflies is an alliance-wide event, you don’t have to worry about competing with other players if your alliance is active.
