In the Buttercup Event, the core objective is to harvest various colors of Buttercup to finish the daily quests and get the Buttercup Coins, which can then be used to purchase the Buttercup Crate that has a lot of interesting goodies.

In this guide, I have explained all the Buttercup Color Variations and the methods to get them.
