Quest
The Dawning
Overview
The Dawning is the introductory Legendary quest of the annual Dawning holiday event. It starts with Eva Levante in the Tower and teaches the baking loop with Eva's Holiday Oven. It is only available while the event runs and takes about 30 to 60 minutes. It is listed under Season 19 and was reused in Season 23; step lists differ by year.

- Return to Eva Levante.
- Purchase an upgrade from Eva Levante (the Merrymaker upgrade, costing Dawning Spirit).

- Claim your first Event Rank reward (older versions: claim an Event Card challenge).
- Return to Eva Levante in the Tower.
Rewards
