I'm a little bummed I'll have to sit this one out. I depleted my food stores on the last leaderboard event. And, due to space constraints, I downsized all my farms, so no nexus nuts or charm cherries for me right now. Without enough food for the leveling parts of the SB, I have no hope of finishing, so I'm just going to do my best to ignore it.

You can still get the first two animals without a lot of food!

I like that Storybook started on Friday so it will end on the weekend. My boss has this thing about getting my work done on time. I thought about waiting but I'm never going to win enough in the arena so I went ahead and started. I'm hoping to get to chapter 9 for the ruin stones. Stupid job.

[MystiqueRealm]

It took me 8 bombs before I got 1 bright branch from mining, that's crazy! I got 2-3 runes each round but now I'll be low on bombs for the storybook

[paulmiddle]

Thanks very much jmatarii, having the goals posted is really helpful. At least the Alpine elephant has the same elements as the Penguin I’m still trying for :)

I also am still trying for the penguin. Glad they have the same elements. My last fail was 48 hours and i think that is a peridot Phoenix but that is the best fail ever ☺

I just got the elephant when still trying for the penguin. Hadn't even noticed the existence of the elephant yet 😅

That is true, but part of me doesn't even want to start if I know I have no hope of finishing. I've been harvesting as much as I can, but only have 22k food right now. I'm actually still working on the alpaca anyway, so I think I'll just focus on that. :) Good luck to everyone on the SB!

Congrats!!! If you evolve could you please share a photo? I should get him but will store it most likely. I'm not a huge fan of the version in the picture anyways (thinking that's adult form) and dont have much room.

Possible SB Issue:
According to the description of the SB acts side quest, we are supposed to receive crates after finishing the each acts. For me, The side quest isn?t even listed & I haven?t received any crates for finishing the SB acts. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Moderators, are we supposed to receive crates? Please help?

Thank you! ��

I didn't see the side goals listed in Goal List but I did get the crates upon completion of the Storybook acts. Try restarting your device and check if you got your crates. If they are still missing, you should contact Support: support form (https://support.storm8.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) and send me your ticket number via pm. I'll check on the side goals with the team.

(Replied to your pm with more information.)

If you breed the Alpine Elephant before you need it and hatch it, does it count as getting it for the event In chapter 6? I breed and hatched it in chapter 4..

[MystiqueRealm]

It'll still count, go ahead and level it to 4 so it's ready to breed :)

[dala12]

Oh oh... just got elephant! I was really surprised, it’s a different egg that is shown here! It’s worth a flower on it.

[Sakrysta]

So, I'm still trying to breed the Alpine Elephant on two of my accounts. I just did some rough math, and I THINK that as long as I get it with at least 30 or so hours to spare, I should be able to complete the event without spending gems. If not, at that point I will have to decide whether it's worth it to me to use the 75 gems it will take to skip the two steps that involve the Alpine Elephant.

Still annoyed to not have it when the event called for it, especially considering how many straight days I've been trying for it, but I do feel a little bit better now that I have somewhat of a plan.

[Lisa0107]

just got a 14 hour earth/nature timer so I think that is my bamboon. I hope so. I think I can still make this in time. whew! we shall see. I only have 24 gems so that is probably not an option. but I think I can still finish this..

[Mogomogu]

I still cant get the elephant aft so many tries, now left with 3 days only

[Gaillock]

I need a bamboon for Chapter 9. I tried Earth & Nature with no luck. Anyone know of a combo that might work? Thanks.

[Smshepherd13]

So, I'm only level 28 but it keeps giving me all of the high level acts on the SB! I don't mind other than I still can't get a Bamboon to breed with in chapter 9! Is there a reason why it's giving me the high level tasks?

[Gaillock]

I believe bamboon is 10 hours.

[BiggerBubbles]

I did the breed rainbovine with an alpine elephant in chapter 7 last night, never took any notice of the breed time, however when I came to the next breed time in chapter 8 tonight I was surprised to see I still had 21 hrs to go so I have no idea what I have, I thought I would need a unicorn in the mix to get a long breed time, so a bit behind now!

If you had 4 elements in the mix it?s probably a crystal unicorn! Congratulations!

Oops that was a grassquatch . No bamboon for me. That's ok though , the real prize for me was the manebow. So happy to have won her. And twin cranes are really beautiful too so I'm happy

[jibro]

Sorry for my neighbors wo missed there gifts the past 3 days. I?ve been shortly active for foodprogress, but this event is too dissapointing. I love the tree, but it should be at least 3 times bigger or we should?ve got 4.

Success to everyone still competing!!
I?ll finish the tournament and wait for the next event..

[Phoenix406]

Ok, so something must have glitched. I just did the "breed Rainbowvine with a Bamboon" task and got a 45 hour timer, so yay! I got credit for completing the task. However, my den CLEARLY shows a Catypus in the den with my Rainbowvine, NOT a Bamboon. What on earth?!?

I'm in same boat. I've a little over 30 hours (mayb 35?) and just bred an 11 hour water and leaf. Sigh. I've been trying since the first day for this common. Straight. Nothing. Egrets and Skyenas and aquatters, you name it. Looks like I will not make it through the storybook. First one I haven't been able to complete since Swan Lake. How can failing to beeed a common be so difficult? You know I'm good to pass on the 75 gems needed to skip all alpine elephant goals. I've got other rainbow animals and some ultra rare ones and am not that "have to have love this animal" hooked on this story. So I think I will pass. You watch me get an alpine elephant the next time I breed those elements.

[BiggerBubbles]

If you had 4 elements in the mix it?s probably a crystal unicorn! Congratulations!

That?s what I would have thought but thought I did the first breeding closer to reset which would have made it a longer time. I have 2 so I?m afraid it may have to be sold. Will find out in 8 hrs. Going to be up in a tiny ski resort today that has no mobile signal so will have to wait. I sped it up, silly me I thought CU was 40 hrs, it’s 45 so it is one. Glad I have a second nest.

[Gaillock]

What's Changed 10 Act 1 for higher level players? Is it the same for both levels? Thanks.

Based on your post, high level includes level 28 instead of starting from level 30 onwards.

However, my den CLEARLY shows a Catypus in the den with my Rainbowvine, NOT a Bamboon. What on earth?!?I was having glitches with that step too, only mine was that the breed wouldn't "take." I put them in the nest 4 or 5 times before the game hiccupped and they finally stayed. Who knows why anything happens with this game anymore.

This happens from time to time and the fastest way to get around it is to force-close the game and restart it.

I am so very Disappointed in the story books. I have been trying to breed the common, started 1 day before it was required. and I just now have it on the Nest with 11 hours of the story book left. No way I could complete this. Same thing happened in the Dragon game with the last Dragon tales but I never did breed the common even though I always try and start breeding common them a day or two ahead of the required date. If this keeps up I will stop Playing the story books/dragon tales

[Phoenix406]

I loved *all* the animals in this event. Great job, S8!
