    Castle Story: 12/4/2014: 12 Days of Christmas Part 1

    This might come in handy!

    12 Drummers Drumming, 11 Pipers Piping, 10 Lords a Leaping, 9 Ladies Dancing, 8 Maids a Milking, 7 Swans a Swimming, 6 Geese a Laying, 5 Golden Rings, 4 Calling Birds, 3 French Hens, 2 Turtle Doves, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree



    Note from me! Just a bit of speculation, but it seems sound!
    1. below it says to go 3 times to the Market and 3 times to the Library. If you have more than 1 of these buildings, get them out now to save time collecting. The Market is a 1 day turn-around and Library is 8 hours. SW
    2. in step 4 you need to send 2 requests to neighbours, so split up your neighbours in 2 and ask the first group for Lords and the second group for Ladies. If you send one request to all neighbours for the first step, you'll need to wait up to 24 hours (potentially, depending on timing) before sending a request for the other step.



    1. Tis the Season - Find Old Thomas (go to his house) rewards 1 gem, 2 XP

    2. Kingdom's Got Talent rewards 1gem, 2 XP
    Find 12 drummers drumming (visit other COMMUNITY kingdoms, NOT NEIGHBOURS)
    Hand out 12 festive drums (workshop). 5 wood, 2 hides each. 2 hours.

    3. Pipe Dreams
    Craft 11 holiday pipes (workshop). 1 living wood, 3 silver and 3 iron. 3 hours.

    4. Look before you leap
    Dig up 3 Ferns 0/3 (dig) Grasshoppers hide in ferns
    Invite 10 Lords to the Gala 0/10 (ask) Ask your neighbours!
    Invite 9 Ladies to the Gala 0/9 (ask) The more the merrier!

    5. Dairy developments
    Give 8 Milk Pails 0/8 (Magic Forge)
    Hire 8 maids a'Milking 0/8 (Hire) - collect from cows! (note, not every click will get you a maid)
    New item at magic forge - craft Milk Pail (4hr) - 5 Wood 3 Iron Ore 5 Milk

    6. Swans on the Lam
    Give 6 Royal Beams 0/6 (Give) Build a Swan Enclosure!
    Get 7 Swans a'Swimming 0/7 (Give) Collect from ponds! (mermaid pond too)

    7. Your Goose is Cooked
    Get Geese a-Laying 0/6 (Give) Harvest Wheat or Corn!

    Research Goose Egg Omlettes 0/3 (Go) Go to the Library!

    12 Days of Christmas quest! (12 days long of course)

    Step 1: Tis the Season
    - Find Old Thomas! rewards 1gem, 2 XP

    Step 2: Kindom's Got Talent
    - Find 12 drummers drumming (visit other kingdoms) [visit via community window, not neighbors]
    - Hand out 12 festive drums (use the workshop) [2 hours, 5 wood, 2 hides each]

    AND that's all for me until tomorrow. 12 hours for the drums using 2 workshops and I won't finish those before my bedtime.

    There is also a new item in the "Featured" section of the Market.

    Christmas Path for 1000 coins. They look like the Halloween path and Mosaic tiles, but they have a Christmas tree on them!

    Alas, they cannot be rotated.

    I do wish the paths without radial symmetry would rotate. But more than that I am glad the Xmas path costs coins not gems this time - thanks, TL!!!

    I only have 3 hides left after my Trapper Trade earlier today and I just collected from my stable---no hide drops at all. Do they lower these drop rates during events like this, or is it just random bad luck? 'Cause I don't know if I'll be able to get 20ish hides in less than a day or so with cruddy drop rates

    And does anyone know if the 'reward' for completing all these goals will be like the Thanksgiving event with a Bountiful Table? Or are these just goals that give out gems/coins/xp and no 'prize' at the end?
    All of my TL accounts are under ArcadiaTofu. Add me and 9 times out of 10 I'll add you quickly and try to gift as much as possible

    According to TL, the rates are always the same, unless they increase them, and then they let us know.
    Nobody knows what the reward will be yet. You just have to watch here, and people will post as it is discovered. Usually, someone will update the 2nd post, where it says "Info on update here" right now. So you can check back on this page, and it will be updated as we discover what comes next.
    I am not adding any neighbors at this time.
    Thanks & Have a great day! Annie

    Wee! And here I was expecting to have a quiet week or two until the winter holiday / Christmas quest. What a fun surprise to start getting festive this early.
    Happy Home of Sparkles the Boar Not currently accepting new neighbors, thanks.
