This event is probably one of the lower tier events that Tribalwars has offered and is surprising in that it doesn't seem to rewards premium players similar to what other events offer. Events are generally designed in Tribalwars' best interest in accruing revenue but my assumption is that Premium Players will not be spending much on this event due to ridiculous costs per item (Expressed in Part 4).
Part 1: The Basics
The odds in this picture are shown below the reward image (red). If an item specifies a certain bonus, it will be shown next to the reward text (blue). It appears that some players may have been confused on this in the feedback discussion on multiple servers.
The event is 14 days long and offers a unique daily item for each day of the event.
If you click on the ? in the daily special box, you will be shown the rewards provided for each given day.
Rewards are as follows:
Each day you will receive up to 100 explorers to use to help a captain navigate an island and you'll be given a reward (Hover the captain for potential rewards) for doing so.
There are 20 islands to explore and once all are explored, you will receive a grand prize from the awards granted.
To reroll your potential grand prize reward, it will cost you 100 premium. A second reroll will cost 200 premium, third is 300 etc.
A reroll does NOT give you the reward, just the opportunity to receive to reward.
Crew members cost 3 premium for member, or 30 per 10, 120 for 40, 180 for 60. There is no benefit for buying crew members in bulk. Prices of crew members will NOT increase with further purchases.

Adds 10% of your Warehouse capacity in resources to all of your villages.
Each day you will receive up to 100 explorers to use to help a captain navigate an island and you'll be given a reward (Hover the captain for potential rewards) for doing so.

Crew members cost 3 premium for member, or 30 per 10, 120 for 40, 180 for 60. There is no benefit for buying crew members in bulk. Prices of crew members will NOT increase with further purchases.
Part 2: What To Expect
This event lasts 14 days, so you will have a long time to acquire crew members and tons of rewards.
The best/easiest ways to recruit crew members are by spending resources. I SUGGEST you either build+demolish rally point, or just spam your barracks by recruiting 1 spear fighter. You can cancel the recruitment of these spear fighters, but you'll still receive the crew members.
With this method, you will receive 1,400 crew members in addition to an unspecified amount of crew members from ingame quests (I assume ~200).
The average exploration costs about ~40 crew members and on average you can receive about 2 islands explored per 50 crew members (Just an estimate. Some explorations are 1 island for 30 crew members, 2 island for 45 crew members, 1 island for 51 crew members, 3 island for 60 crew members)
Here's math to show you what you should expect if you go about this event COMPLETELY Free-To-Play and receive 1,600 crew members.
You should expect to receive around 40 items from this event and explore about 64 islands. However, if you prioritize low cost explorations, you can receive upwards of 50 items but may also have less islands explored. You will receive about 3 Grand Prizes.
What do do with this information
In part 1, I had highlighted what daily items are most important.
These items occur on Day 4 (Flag Booster) and Day 14 (Warehouse 10%)
I also italicized war footing (Day 13) as it's quite a decent item, but not a major priority. It can be substituted if you have a surplus of resources and coins already.
Day 4 Preparation
If you don't spend ANY of your explorers, you should have about 400-500 explorers by day 4 for the Flag Booster. This offers about 11 chances to receive the flag booster reward.
The Daily Reward has either a 5%/10% chance of being received based upon the captain offering the items. I suggest you check whether the odds are 5% or 10% and prioritize the 10% captains as the odds are heavily in your favor to receive at least 1 flag boost with 11 attempts.
I would spend ALL possible explorers on Day 4 as you will have 10 more days to build up explorers for day 14 to attempt the 10% warehouse packages. I personally hate to see that the rewards are so pitiful but with 10% warehouse you can at least gain some momentum for growth with level 30 warehouses.
Day 14 Preparation
If you maintain your self-composure and don't splurge on random explorations until day 14, you will have 10 days worth of explorers built up in addition to extra explorers generated through the quest system.
This will result in ~1100-1200 explorers by day 14 for the warehouse 10% item. This will offer you about 30 chances to receive the warehouse 10% reward. If you make sure to choose the captain with 10% odds of receiving the warehouse reward, expect to receive about 3 of these.
In addition, some of the random rewards also offer warehouse 5%, warehouse 10% and a Nobles Decree item. If you receive the noble decree item, this will additively stack with the flag doubler and make coins cost even less.
Expect to receive about 75% warehouse bonus in total through the free-to-play route. (30% from Day 14, 15% from random explorations, 30% from 3/6 chance at the Grand Prize) If you want to reroll for the grand prize (instead of the garbage 'Privilege' item that everyone starts with), there are some nice additional items to acquire.

Part 3: What to do with your bonuses
Based on the expectation that you have about 75% warehouse bonus, you now have the option to manipulate this item to your advantage.
75% warehouse equates to 300,000 300,000 300,000 resources on a full warehouse in each village of yours. Assuming you received the Nobles Decree item at least once in your ~40 explorations, you will have a -10% coin costs in addition to a flag doubler.
Operating on the assumption that you have a modest 20% Dark Blue -% Coin Costs flag, you will have 40% -% Coin Costs with the Flag Doubler.
With the Nobles Decree, you will have a total of 50% -Coins Costs.
Coins will now cost 14,000 15,000 12,500 per coin minted per village.
If you have 1 village you will be able to mint about 20 coins. This is equivalent to 6 nobles minted (Assuming you haven't produced any nobles yet)
If you have 10 villages you will be able to mint about 200 coins. This is equivalent to 12 nobles minted (Assuming you don't have any nobles made after nobling 10 villages)
This event will help provide a major head start in the early game, and in the late game it will provide strong sustenance and will increasingly scale with your amount of nobles to be produced. It will be tougher for you to consistently redirect resources to a centralized village (in 24 hours with Nobles Decree/Flag Doubler) once you have passed 10-20 villages so be cautious when using this method.
