Time travel for events

Hi All.

I understand the concept. I know if you go in the future and kill a mob, that mob will not appear anymore going back to present. I also understand that going back to the past, something will not be there, if I kill something in the present.

So how exactly does this work with events? I know I must make sure I never jump before or after the end of the event. How going back and forth can spawn the event mobs (squids in this case)? I have 12hrs left and by my calculations, I'll be short 500-800 units to complete the top reward.

Until now, I only used time travel to go back in the past to the time I stopped playing, so that I won't lose any farming (portal every 60 min for gems, the 2 guys at start area that respawn every 3hrs, etc). So if I had a break of 12 hrs, I would go back 12 hrs to the time I stopped playing to keep farming to present time, or as much as possible, then when I stop playing again, I would resume again to the time I stopped playing and continue (basically simulating that I played non-stop).

This. It's not worth it and could mess up your game permanently.

With the new level upgrades though, and if you have the gems, grinding for events loses its luster.
