To make your tree storable: purchase a sapling, place it on the board. Store it first.
Then place it again from storage. Grow into tree. Voila, you now have a storable tree.
I already made 20 and love them!

The ability to craft Portalpillars disappears once you craft all three!

If you want to craft more than one regular Portalpillar you must do it before crafting the Portalpillar Gigantus!

Wish I knew before I crafted all three ...
I wanted two extra regular Portalpillars.:blue:

SW could you please add this info page 1.
Also could you please request that Storm8 restore the ability to craft Portalpillars til the end of the event?
Thanks. :love_heart:x

Here’s my Portalpillar Grove...

RESTART YOUR GAME AFTER RECEIVING THE FIRST REWARDS.

You do NOT have to spend gems.

It starts out visiting a pond, then Thomas.

After completing, I was rewarded 1 of the apatronus bloom and 3 of the special trees. The bloom was not in inventory.
After I restarted, it was in my inventory.

The trees are for clearing.
The bloom has a 2 hour collection. So far you can only have 1 bloom unless you buy another for 65 gems.

This is goal 3. The bloom is something you ha e to buy with gems.. I?m not sure how to continue without using gems.

Edit add: checked my inventory and you get one free one.

Glitchy event so far. I started playing on Android and had to restart to be able to upgrade. Next, the reward of the apotranus bloom could not be found in my inventory. I switched to iOS and found it in my inventory.

there should be one bush in your inventory. However I could not find it when I was on my Android phone. I found it once I switched to my ipad.

Never been an event that required spending gems complete.. Spend Gems to Complete Faster maybe but thats the players choice

OK. Force quit and restart and bloom was in inventory. Two hour timer. BTW, I am playing on an iPad.

It does have an alien vibe from the creatures and the quest. The unusual character shapes may not be unicorns, dragons, wyverns, tree ents, manticores, giant dire wolves or flying tigers, (and we have an Egyptian theme from the past) but they do seem like fantasy and I really like how colorful they are. I'm not too fond of the glitch shaped one but I've found a lot of things can be placed hidden behind something, while still allowing them to be collected from. I still don't have too many weekly energy creatures. So I'm going to give this one a try. :)

queens_ransom

01-07-21, 01:03 PM

Could this event be the same format as the Kung-fu Panda one? The three tamed caterpillars (or whatever they are named) made me think of the three pandas. But I'll have to check, it might be completely different...

I believe it really is that format. I just looked it up and it also started with visiting a pond. For anyone interested: https://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?111250-Castle-Story-8-20-Kung-Who-Panda!-event-information-on-page-1&highlight=Event+information

There was a goal in that event where we had to craft three fire pandas before we could start collecting some needed event material from them. Since this made it almost impossible to collect enough of those items for most players, it was changed during the event so that the first fire panda(s) started dropping it even before the rest were crafted. I hope they've kept that change, otherwise I predict quite a bit of uproar again...

I’m not sure if I am going to do the event, but I am definitely going to buy the deal in the market. 10 trade tickets for five dollars is an awesome deal, imho.

TeikaEmberstorm

01-07-21, 01:14 PM

The featured tab in the market has several interesting items for purchase. I bought a lunation limb (6 chops) for 10000 coins (drops lunar wood). It spawned a portalpillar (drops portalpillar coin) that takes 5 energy to defeat. The lunation limb is a pretty graphic. And there appears to be a new pond which I like.

I've planted some eclipsed elm saplings which remind me of the poinsettia trees from the Christmas event. I've not watered them yet so not sure what they drop. Edit...Reward for using drop from Thomas' house upgrading the portal to stage 2 is one apotranus bloom and 3 fully grown choppable (10 chops) pink flowered eclipsed elms. So you may want to wait on buying the elms until we have more info.

Questions:

What do the Apotranus (2 hour collection.....and it has a floating animation)
and Planomus flowers drop?
What are the differences between the Portalpillar, Portarpillar Maximus and Portalpillar Gigantus traps?

Pavo is the Stitch character's name, he "chirps". Cute. :D. But the story line reminds me of Phineous and Ferb with the Meep storyline.

You make a good point. I'm not sure. I remember the Cranberry faerie daily dropper nestled in amongst other creatures on the event display picture. This creature is by itself. It may not be significant but it felt like it was. I've only been around since May so I don't have the wealth of experience for a good guess.:). It could be a daily dropper. I'm beginning to appreciate my daily droppers more than the weekly ones now that I've accumulated a few of them.

Thanks for the warning. I just took out all my pigs for later in the event.

It looks like we will be awarded a second bloom for the task I’m on which was a common request from the Kung Who? Event, so I think S8 took our feedback in consideration when designing this. I am hopeful we will be able to craft the creature as soon as we get the first set of supplies needed.

The Eclipsed Elm that you receive as goal rewards appear in your inventory and can be stored.

I hope my earlier post didn't make anyone think I was berating them for not wanting to do the event with the creatures not matching their kingdoms. That's completely understandable. :)

I wonder what the rewards are. I like the rewards the pandas give.

I agree, not all portalpillars drop coins. I don't know if it is related to the reward sapling or not but it was a good catch that it might be a problem. That might be worth testing.

My Aportranus won't store either. Is this fixable?

I also think that the plants in this event are gorgeous. I love the color scheme the art department came up with. While the character shapes feel a little off, I can see colorful glow worms (they don't glow but their markings make me think phosphorescence) from a cave being a neat idea.

I just spawned a Portalpillar from a willow tree. I had multiple spawns from willow including portalpillar, fang tooth and skunkupine. Oak and red acer had a ppillar spawn each. Multiple willow tree chopping netted good results of one to two ppillars per tree, plus the lunar wood. One tree that I chopped spawned four creatures. That was interesting. I think I chopped about 10 willow trees.

Not so great spawns with limited testing:
Out of two white birch trees, I spawned 3 fang tooth and one portalpillar
One spawn out of two crab apple trees.

I didn't try aspen or golden acer.

The grown eclipse elm cannot be placed in inventory.

19 black pigs and zero perihelion green glue. I sped up the two new perihelion hogs and got two glue. I think the drop table for black pigs might need goosing.;). It might work to collect from one perihelion hog and then try pigs. Royal pig dropped one.

Like the good little collector I am, I was going through the Market and making my usual purchase of every item when I about choked on my coffee at the price on that one! Thank goodness I noticed the insane price before I placed it - can't imagine the buyer's remorse I'd have over that one, lol.

Just seems crazy to me that they're offering an event item for such a high price without us even knowing how useful it would be; not to mention the fact that we have zero idea what it will turn in to after the event ends. No matter how I look at it, I just can't wrap my mind around this one.

I went ahead and bought one even though I read in here to reset. I reset after the second drop so I am lucky enough to have 3. I also spent the massive amount of gems for the other one. Often these high cost items have HUGE payoffs and really help finish the quest line with much less stress and worry.

I too LOVE the artwork and am looking forward to finishing the event.

SgtBeebo - I collected from my first alien hog (can't remember the name) after the full 2 hrs and it did not give me anything (I used gems to speed one up at the start and received 1). I was VERY surprised. With a 2 hr clock, won't we need a guaranteed drop of at least one? I ended up buying 6 before I read another post that pigs also drop the item. The timer will be up in a few minutes for remaining 5, so hopefully I'll get better drops.

Update - after 7 collections I have 2 of the required drops. It's going to take a long time to get the 6 needed to craft and upgrade. Looks like I wasted 50,000 coins on extra hogs.

Update 2 - after collecting from 44 pigs, I picked up 9 more of the needed drops. Wish I wouldn't have spent extra coins on the hogs.

The timers round off to the day until the final 24 hours so it only shows 14 days for a few hours directly after the event starts.

For example, the moment the timer goes from 14 to 13 days, the actual time left is 13 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds. Since there's not enough room in the little boxes for all that info we just see the first bit.

Good luck everyone! (we'll need it I bet)

Maybe you meant the trees? Because those are the ones you grow. Blooms come fully grown.

To make your tree storable: purchase a sapling, place it on the board. Store it first.
Then place it again from storage. Grow into tree. Voila, you now have a storable tree.
I already made 20 and love them!

Oo an Energy dropper main prize, floating plants, cool color scheme that draws from pastels / some of the sea creatures and perhaps Mountain of the Wilds 🥰❤️
Wasn't too sure based on the preview and thought I might separate out the themed items but i'm lovin' the plants and overall palette.

Very cool.

I?m not sure if I am going to do the event, but I am definitely going to buy the deal in the market. 10 trade tickets for five dollars is an awesome deal, imho.

Yes please! ❤️ 10 Expansion Permits + the unlimited energy etc. 😍❤️

✨ Wonderful package. ✨

I wanted to experience the next Kung Fu Panda-esque event without purchasing boosts or bonuses (just to get a sense of its balance, especially since I went overboard last time), but since the packages were offered alongside this one again...
oh well. 😂❤️

I'm very happy to see we'll be getting more Academy Scrolls in future events, hopefully soon~ I was really enjoying those mixed Crowns and Scrolls! 🥰❤️

Good luck all! ❤️

I went to go buy another Apotranus bloom from the market for I think is was 65 gems and the item is no longer listed for sale .Is there a cap on them ? Also I tapped on 45 black pigs 3 times and have got nothing .I only get Perihelion Muck from the beige pigs or the Perinelion hogs and even those are stingy .Is this what other players finding ?

Try cutting down one regular willow tree and see if that helps.

Do we know whether the Perihelion Hogs are guaranteed to drop muck at each collection or if it's a chance? If it's guaranteed (or even just a significantly higher chance than normal pigs) then I think it's well worth the coin investment to get the maximum allowed.

I looooove the artwork, thank you Storm8! Especially the elm, the bloom, the cavus cavern and the portal. I also love sci fi, so I wouldn't mind at all if somehow the portal would transport us to other realms after the event finishes, like a real stargate :-D And like a "game within the game". Castle Story in space, the final frontier, conquer and decorate a whole new planet, grow alien plants and tend to fantastic creatures, go on space adventures through the otherworldly castle, trade with other civilizations in a brand new 2nd royal exchange space portal. The possibilities are endless :-D

The Portal (Level 4) just dropped a Portalpillar Coin 😊

Level 3 was still dropping just exp (collected from it accidentally a few times), this was my first collection from Level 4 but will update in an hour if it happens again. ❤️

(Edit: Oh, just saw a post that had a coin drop fron Level 2 Portal, so Not guaranteed and apparently can happen before too. 😅 )

Any prize info yet on caterpillars or portal?

The bamboo hut we upgraded in the panda event is a guaranteed trade ticket dropper. I once got a trade ticket AND expansion permit in same drop from it. So if the portal is going to be like that, I am in.

Portalpillar, as Stymie has said, has a 4h collection time. First collection, black flagged for wood but also dropped a plant in a log. Portalpillar maximus, 8h, unfortunately was also black flagged for red petals. Not collected from Portalpillar gigantus with 22h collection time. Not optimistic it will be an energy dropper because main prize drops energy.

Love the artwork S8!

5 perihelion hogs - no drop
I said 19 earlier but I miscounted, it's 18 black pigs - no drop
Sir Pigglesworth - no drop
Fall uni-pig - no drop
Leaf pig - no drop
Ghost pig - no drop

I think there's a problem.

Was the apotranus bloom supposed to be removed from the market? I have two, was going to buy another.

I tapped ten random pigs (mix of black, white, royal and green), got 2.
Ten royals pigs, got 4
Ten white pigs, got 3.
Ten black pigs, got nothing four times - not touching them again.
Ten royal pigs, got 5.

I've found the drop rate from the hogs to be similar to my pigs.

I bought the $10,000 tree to see if it's worth it: NO. 5 hits one drop.

Like federgoat said earlier regarding the Ivy (like) item: head meet wall. Now on a 24 hour wait to complete goal 7, 38 hour wait for the next upgrade. S8 has figured out how to make the 12 hour collection item even more frustrating: make us purchase a new flower which won't be ready to collect for 12 hours.

This impacts the next time sensitive portion that ruined the Panda event for most players, crafting 3 warriors that had long wait times and critical drops.

Oof. Thank you, HuckleTown. I'm stuck in my first 12-hour wait for the Binary Bloom (it'll bloom at 2am which I won't be able to pick up 'til morning) - is it a guaranteed dropper for the Binary Bulb, at least, if you know?

For anyone curious of the wait: for part of Goal 7 we need 2 Binary Bulbs total (12 hour wait each, hopefully we get a Bulb each time we collect) for the 2 Portal Ropes (Magic Forge Craft 2 hours crafting time, takes 4 PortalPillar Slime that starts dropping from the Farmhouse-spawned Portalpillars once you're on Goal 7, and 1 Binary Bulb from the single Binary Bloom we can buy which has a 12 hour timer) which should be 2 Binary Bloom collections or 24 hours minimum wait time...

Anyone on Goal 8? 😥

Is $4.99 USD roughly equal to $7.50 in your local currency?
It's either Exchange Rates (probably not since that fluctuates, though it would be simplest if $4.99 USD = $7.50 value in your currency) or some weird "foreign currency tax" exchange surcharge ("foreign" meaning not the same country the company is based in, so they'd have to charge more of your currency to make the same amount due to tax on exchange or customs or something) or local laws (Aren't these technically online purchases?) Just a guess, i'm sure there's an official answer somewhere.

In other words, i'm leaning towards it's probably the same equivalent value in our currency's purchasing power but the number we see is different due to some kind of currency exchange, international taxes if relevant (again I have no idea), or other charge the company faces to get the $ into their accounts. 😊

Thank you zoroak for the photo (p12). The creatures look very nice in your kingdom. There really are glowing elements to most if not all of the wildlife.

I've been curious about the portalpillar traps for sale in the market. I would like to get one just for decoration. It's very cute. It looks like the three portalpillars to be crafted are different sizes and I assume they coordinate with their traps in the market. I am guessing the portarpillar gigantis trap summons the rose colored gigantis portarpillar, the Maximus summons the medium sized Maximus blue, and the regular trap summons the purple. I don't know if you get more supplies upon conquering the larger portarpillars or not.

Has anyone placed a trap or used one? I'm curious if the three traps are different sizes once placed and if the drops from the conquered ppillars differ according to their size. And don't we sometimes get a trap in our inventory with the event? I don't think I have one for this event.

Edit: I was curious so I placed a trap. When almost buying one of the other different traps, but not actually placing it, they appear to be same in size.

The cavus cavern looks really pretty rotated. I haven't finished it yet but the faerie respite might look good with some of these elements. I moved them all behind Thomas' house because he has a telescope attached to it. And the observatory is next door.

This does make me think of the phosphorescence art coloring I had mentioned in the idea thread. Thank you S8. This is a fun event with lovely artwork.:love_heart:

Has anyone past Goal 7 (possibly federerGOAT, zoroak, or Lyzau) run into the blue deer-like animal with fluorescent features yet? I am patiently, or not so patiently, waiting to collect from the Binary Bulb. Somehow the wait seems longer than waiting for Ivy.

Queens_ransom mentioned earlier in this thread that it is a similar format to the panda event. Looking at those goals, I presume the deer-like animal might be the fire panda equivalent that you craft in goal 10.
https://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?111250-Castle-Story-8-20-Kung-Who-Panda!-event-information-on-page-1&highlight=Event+information

I am not rushing this one as the binary bulb is expensive to speed up. 48 gems for 12h is a bit steep (Ivy’s hut is 24 gems to speed up for 12h). I’ve finished crafting all 3 portalpillars so the wait for me feels very long too!

Well the price in my (european) currency would convert to $7.50 USD if I brought it to the bank to have it exchanged is what I meant. So it must be some kind of tax. A tax of 50% is pretty high though

Waiting around like everyone else for the 12 hour bulb. Using all my energy to keep collecting event resources. I so appreciate the advance views from SW and Shibuyacloth. Anyone yet know how much slime, muck, vine, lunar wood, glow stone etc that we need? I still rely on the daily energy, hoping I?m not wasting it by over-collecting. Thanks!!

If this event continues to follow Kung Who Panda, here?s what I have for upgrades for levels 5 to 7:

As federerGOAT said, we only need 13 of those. I think you misread because it said "Glow stones: 38 Binary petals: 13" in kellyandcopper's post. The 38 refers to the glow stones, then you have to imagine a comma or semicolon before "perals: 13". ;-) 13 is eminently doable in the 10-12 days most of us will have left when our binary bloom is ready to collect from for the first time.

Im not sure how im supposed to be able to make 2 portal blocks, let alone what tasks come next at this rate. And the portalpillar coin drops have also been so low. I battled multiple and ended up with only 5 coins, with some ?battles? not dropping a single coin. Anyone else having bad drop rates?

Try collecting from your brown/orange pigs. They have a good droprate of muck.

Unfortunately I have plenty of black pigs (who have never dropped the muck) and only 1 regular pig and 1 albino pig who have both dropped muck once each. I ended up buying two more perihelion pigs so hopefully thats enough.

I think black pigs are useless in this event because I have burned through over 60 energy on them without a single muck.

What a pity. It’s going to be hard for lower level players who don’t have as many royal/albino pigs or money to throw around on the hogs.

are1000

01-08-21, 05:36 PM

I am really worried about the drops in this event. If the math is the same as in the Panda event we are going to need 96 vines and 132 of the muck. With on average 1 vine dropping every 2 hours, that right there is going to slow things down.

Yes you can complete this event without crafting the 3 portalpillars. They are a side quest like how we collect faeries and craft items in the faerie atrium for other events.

Coins are random from the portal. You are not guaranteed to get any.

Try the farmhouses. The portalpillar that can be found in the farmhouses gives more coins.

As to how I got so far, I saved my energy for about a week before this event so I had energy stored that could be used for getting the event items or coins.

The apotranus vine will be my stumbling block. Can't stand to wait. So I bought one for 65 gems. Hope that eases the tension.
I already bought the package ($7.99 in Australia) and thought those extra vines would be enough, but maybe not. Love love love the expansion tickets S8.
I think the little bluish animal's horns look more like a goat horns than a deer antlers, only it has a skunkupine ****** down it's back. Wondering what they will call it.

Wish I had known earlier about the drops from pigs. I was getting really frustrated with the perihelion hogs, getting only 2 muck from 10 hogs each collection. Now that I collected from pigs the new hogs are coughing up more muck. (Pun intended)

Wow, another one stuck? S8, are you sure the Blooms are being credited appropriately since the fix? 😥

Well the price in my (european) currency would convert to $7.50 USD if I brought it to the bank to have it exchanged is what I meant. So it must be some kind of tax. A tax of 50% is pretty high though

Oh how strange, that is directly flipped. Must be some kind of international exchange conversion tax indeed. I'm glad everyone has a deal in their currency though, I assume this is what some old posts i've encountered meant about different Cost of Gems themselves in their RL currency too. I wonder if the relative deal is the same, 95% off vs what you'd pay regularly for the bundle? Presumably so?

Not sure, in any case enjoy your Permits! 🥰❤️

The apotranus vine will be my stumbling block. Can't stand to wait. So I bought one for 65 gems. Hope that eases the tension.
I already bought the package ($7.99 in Australia) and thought those extra vines would be enough, but maybe not. Love love love the expansion tickets S8.
I think the little bluish animal's horns look more like a goat horns than a deer antlers, only it has a skunkupine ****** down it's back. Wondering what they will call it.

Wish I had known earlier about the drops from pigs. I was getting really frustrated with the perihelion hogs, getting only 2 muck from 10 hogs each collection. Now that I collected from pigs the new hogs are coughing up more muck. (Pun intended)

It seems that one package or so helps get folks to around level 3-4-ish, there are plenty of drops that only unlock in later goals as i'm sure you're reading about so we won't get too far ahead in the Event itself with this first package... but ohhh those Expansion Permits. 😍❤️

The Goal that introduced the Event Perihelion Hog for purchase had fine print in the Goal description about collecting the muck from Perihelion Hogs or pigs. Once you collect enough of that item to check off the goal, that print disappears and if you try to look back at your goalbook for reference you just see the green checkmark without the little hint (same as the "Go" button disappears since you're "done" with that part and you can't just use it to be taken to wherever that item is in your realm after finishing that goal). I like the Community Events' setup because we have that neat reference sheet on the back of the goals so we can always check where to go from within our games, but for this type we have to catch or share the info ourselves first and reference the super helpful forum write-ups. ❤️
It'll be easier to catch those little details once we receive the event info and SpiritWind is able to add it to the front page! 😊❤️

Thank you to everyone who shares info as always and to SpiritWind and Shibuya for championing the front page! 🥰❤️

And just Because I can't seem to write any responses without addendum: Thank you to support s8 coders devs and the wonderful game artists as well, while i'm at it! 🥰❤️
The responsiveness as of late has been wonderful, there may be issues but seeing them handled makes me confident to continue financial support and invest time and energy into this game.
Thank you all for making this game and forum such a lovely escape/diversion/entertainment/project game/obsession. To echo other players in this thread, i'm so very thankful to you all!

Have a wonderful day! ❤️

Maybe you meant the trees? Because those are the ones you grow. Blooms come fully grown.

To make your tree storable: purchase a sapling, place it on the board. Store it first.
Then place it again from storage. Grow into tree. Voila, you now have a storable tree.
I already made 20 and love them!

Spiritwind, Could you maybe post this info on Page 1?
I know it's not game-play related, but I'm sure a lot of players would be very interested to know this, and in the Comments it just disappears.

For clarity, Lyzau found a way to make the beautiful Eclipsed Elm storable.
Buy the Eclipsed Elm Sapling in the market and store it. Then take it out of your inventory and grow it. It can them be stored again as full Tree!
(I wish I had known this tick in the Panda event with the Bamboo Trees ;))
Thank you so much Lyzau! :love_heart:

.... Must be some kind of international exchange conversion tax indeed. ....

It's taxes. For me in The Netherlands it's 5,49 Euro, which is a lot more than $4,99.
It's still a good deal though for 10 Expension Permits + other goodies ;)

Locked by goal and coming soon.

Good to know all crafts disappear when you've crafted all 3 of the Portalpillers.
I've only crafted the first, but it seems like I can make more...
If I have enough Energy/Portalpillar Coins, I might try and make 2 Portapillar Maaximus before crafting the Gigantus one.
It will be a while before I'm there though,... If anyone else trys this, could you keep us informed if this indeed works?

You can only craft 1 maximus and 1 gigantus. Option to craft the smallest portalpillar remains after crafting 1 and maximus craft is unlocked. After crafting 1 maximus, maximus craft is locked. After crafting gigantus, all portalpillar crafts disappear.

I remember having extra Coins to spare after crafting the 3 crafts in the Panda event (but not being able to spent them).
So I might try for an extra purple PortalPillar.

Cheers mate,you're a legend 🍻👍🏻. Dunno if I'll get that far. Already getting bored with this one. Feels like s8 just want us to use gems. And after 'losing' over 160 gems on an inadvertent double tap on an ali,I refuse to either buy any,or use my hard earned gems. At least until we get a much asked for confirmation button. I mean,seriously, we know they read our comments right? And Ivy's nursery and the faerie atrium ask us if we want to 'proceed' with a process that will 'consume' items. So why can we not have a similar message when it involves gems being used? is it really that hard? If it is,why don't s8 just come out and tell us? Ok,off to get another beer,lol. Have fun folks. Hugs from Oz. From a distance of course. Have to maintain social distancing.lol.🍻

Spiritwind, what will the perihelion drop? And will the apotranus drop anything?

I learned something new today. I'd not heard of perihelion before. It's definition is: the point in the orbit of a planet, asteroid, or comet at which it is closest to the sun. Also: Aphelion is the point of the Earth's orbit that is farthest away from the Sun.

Planomos Pine: Faerie Beam, Faerie Block, Faerie Paste, Faeries' Murmur, Fey Crystal, Faerie Jar, Faeriebulb Seeds, Faerie Essence

I haven't reached elven stuff yet. Are faerie beams and blocks used frequently? Is this worth 500 gems?

As far as I remember you only need the Faerie blocks and beams for part of the Main Story Line. It?s usefull for that, but after that only for Elven trades I think..
And completing that part of the Story also gives an Item that drops Faerie Blocks and Beams

Thanks for heads up. On goal 8 and will only get to goal 9 tonight so not speeding up till it is fixed. I don’t think anyone has moved on but I have not read every single post recently. Am on iOS so will post much later if the bug is also on the iOS platform.

We're not! At least, not by default: The Planomous Pine that drops faerie items is the Optional 500 Gems purchase from Marketplace, it's not a reward like academy scrolls would be. 😊

As for why it's offered.. well I don't think there are many items that drop faerie beams and blocks, similar esque art and they're pretty.
(Edit: The item it mimics is the Faerie Bridge which is 2x2 with a 9 hour timer... rewarded from the Faerie Bridge Goal line (https://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?94062-New-CS-Main-Story-Goal-Guide&p=1364419&viewfull=1#post1364419).)

I would be heavily surprised by a tie-in to future requirements.

Portopillars that we'll craft just seem to drop items similar to peacocks, tree ent, etc. Just seems like more reskinned cool new art options as ways to get the same drops to me! 😊❤️

Hi! So, still stuck waiting for the Apotranus Bloom to give me vines - I only received one! - and have only gotten one vine per collection so it's taking forever. how did some of you get two without spending gems? that seems sort of unfair?

There was a bug in the beginning of the event that gave some players 2 free Blooms instead of 1.
We were only supposed to get 1 so they fixed it. But people who alreaddy received them could keep them.
I wish they would have given everyone the extra Bloom, but alas. We did get some extra recources to compensate so that?s something.
I have 2 Blooms, but I bought the second one (to stress a bit less, and hopefully complete the event)

Stymie52

01-09-21, 12:57 PM

Just collected for the first time from the Hydronous Hollows. One dropped 2 Hydronous Water and the second Hydronous Hollow dropped none. So it is not a guaranteed drop.

I have 7 hogs I even my regular pigs but none of them drops muck not the brown, white, pink or special pigs. i have wasted so much energy just on collecting nothing from the pig/hog. im i the only one having this issue?

TeikaEmberstorm

01-09-21, 03:02 PM

I've crafted one block (last night) and I have 11 perihelion muck left to work with. I've not done it every two hours. You may try putting all perihelion pigs in inventory, closing the game completely. Reopen and place them. I recommend you get the other 3 if you get one muck at all. I would ignore black pigs altogether. I didn't get any drops from them, and other pigs are low drop. I'm happy I broke down and bought all 10. I get 2-3 per round of collecting from the 10 I have. I hope it starts working for you.

I understand skipping events - I've done it before, too, and have never regretted it. However, I've decided to do this one and I'm happily plodding along without major issues. I actually enjoy that it's not an event I've had to babysit so far. While the pigs/hogs are ready to collect every two hours, it doesn't seem to be a problem to let more time pass between collections since the needed drop from the Binary Bulb with its 12-hour timer slows me down anyway.

Being someone who didn’t experience the ‘glitch’ I have been enjoying the odd occasions that I received 2 vines from a bloom collection as I have done my calculations on a normal 1 vine collection. So imagine my delight on getting 3 just now, oh happy days (not the words that echoed through the house), that’s a 4 hr saving!

Me too,still no gigantus from portal. I used gems for traps with much regret. Thought maybe it would be ok in next goal but still no show. Won't lay out more gems for traps,too many needed so I'm stuck til fixed.

01-10-21, 01:22 AM

for everyone hating the wait on the 12 hour collection, at least you have gotten that far. The pigs and vine are giving me so few I'm only managing one beam and block per day, at this rate I have zero chance of finishing. I have ten of the pigs. The one bloom supposedly gives 2 vines per collection but I think sometimes it just doesn't count them, cause after my last collection I went from 3 vines to 3 vines, wow! So frustrated.

I think the little guy is really cute, but I'm not rich enough to spend the $100 or more it will take to speed up collections. Actually with the drop rate I'm getting probably $1000.

stormaurora42

01-10-21, 01:55 AM

Just to clarify: i've purchased multiple Value Packs (due to the 10 Expansion Permits ❤️ ), so as a side effect i've been able to craft almost all my blocks and beams without needing to collect from the resources very often. I'm on Goal 9.

I have collected occasionally though so I noticed that my single Hog was dropping regularly and my pigs sort of randomly dropped a few mucks (I collect from them during the Unlimited Energy time from the pack for bacon truffles etc.) I'm swimming in Lunar Wood because i'm also chopping down batches of Aspen trees for the Academy questline.

I can't speak to the balance of the event and haven't done the math, but I hope those who are relying on drop rates get lucky.
I don't know if this event is facing the same imbalance as the Kung Fu panda event, and the chance to drop multiples of needed items would certainly help, but it does seem like it's necessary to move on quickly to the "big stretch" with the 12 hour timer and crafting Oxa.
I'm concerned for those who didn't even get 1 Apotramus Bloom free and had to spend 65 Gems to make Any progress. Seems like the fix wasn't fully working?

Good luck all. 😥

Most definitely a platform problem. I have 4 games all Android no gigantus from the portal on any of them. I skipped making the final two oxa by paying 180 gems (if I remember correctly). That is after buying two traps to make the first saddle at a cost of 20 each. After collecting from oxa's they have spawned the gigantus. THANKFULLY. So good news for Android users on that since so many are needed in final push. Oxa's save the day. However, I don't think I am willing to use 220 gems each on my other games to move on.

If I remember the panda event correctly, You should be ok waiting until Monday for the fix. Spend today gathering materials for the beams, blocks and vines.

S8 has fixed the problem with crafting the three items so that we can begin collecting as soon as the first of three is crafted.

ALSO, someone should start a thread in the bugs section. Each android user should comment on the thread.

My second gigantus spawn did not drop a hide.

So good news for Android users on that since so many are needed in final push. Oxa's save the day. However, I don't think I am willing to use 220 gems each on my other games to move on.

You should email S8 support. In my experience, they have been good at rectifying issues due to coding errors or missing prizes, including issuing gem refunds where appropriate.

My second gigantus spawn did not drop a hide.
Both ponds dropped 1 water.

Yes, hides are a random drop from gigantus spawns (have had 2 once), but you only need 6 and should get them fairly rapidly due to 1h portal collection time.

Hydronous hollows can very rarely drop 0, 2 or 3 hydronous waters but usually only drop 1. Apotranus blooms mostly drop 1 vine but again very rarely drop 2. I can’t remember if these ever drop 3.

If I remember the panda event correctly, You should be ok waiting until Monday for the fix. Spend today gathering materials for the beams, blocks and vines.

S8 has fixed the problem with crafting the three items so that we can begin collecting as soon as the first of three is crafted.

ALSO, someone should start a thread in the bugs section. Each android user should comment on the thread.

Yeah, I'm not too worried. S8 generally makes up for these issues one way or another. I'm definitely waiting until tomorrow and not spending gems in the meantime.

Also, you are probably right that the bugs section is the right place for this...

ETA: I've started a thread in the bugs section, if anyone wants to chime in there. I tried posting a link here but for some reason that didn't work...

Once you get the gigantus spawn be prepared for low hide drops. Mine are less than 50 percent. (As mentioned above, we only need 6, 2 to complete goal 9). It shouldn't be a problem because the hydronous waters are also random and the collection wait time for those is 3 hours. We need 8 waters to complete goal 9 and 24 total.

It’s the number of portalpillar larvae and portalpillar ore that worry me, looking at page 1. Only got 1 ore from the first collection from the Oxa (4h collection time, you can make 3 Oxa).

I noticed that it's listed 280 energy per day to finish. I am in the higher bracket without a lot of energy droppers yet. 280 energy would be 7 times using 40 energy every two hours for 14 hours? I'm dyslexic with math so not sure I've got that. I hope I am wrong about the numbers. I'm about to update the portal to level 5. Am I a lot farther behind everyone?

I feel badly for players on Android devices. I really hope they get a quick fix in for you.

Same here. I am at level 4 on the portal already and still only one bloom.

There is supposed to be only 1 bloom. A lucky few got a second bloom but it was as a result of the bug that prevented anyone from seeing the first bloom until they did a restart. S8 fixed the bug and let the lucky few keep the second bloom. SgtBeebo explained this in post #60.

Well, I have quite a few daily and weekly energy droppers and I won?t be able to upgrade the portal to Level 5 till tomorrow morning. I don?t think I am behind.

I was lucky enough to keep the 2nd bloom. I'm trying to get more glow stones. Do these only come from the smallest portalpillar? And what is the easiest way to spawn him?
Also I've had no luck spawning a gigantus one

I have been growing and chopping the Eclipsed Elm, which spawns the small Portalpillar, which may drop a Glow Stone. This has been the best way for me to get the stones. However, sometimes I chop the whole Eclipsed Elm and do not get a Portalpillar to spawn. This is not a problem since the wait time for other necessary items is quite long. Good luck with spawning the Gigantus.

My portipillar gigantus drop rate is at 25%. The first 2 dropped a hide but the next 6 have not dropped one.

The ponds are 50%, each collection only 1 pond will drop the hydronous water.

The gigantus spawns in goal 9 from the portal. A few players have reported that only maximus spawns from the portal and they are on the Android platform. You may have to wait till Monday for S8 staff to fix the bug.

Not happy, seems very unfair for S8 to let some benefit from the glitch instead of taking the item away, I think they have done that in the past. I have asked 4 of the neighbours I regularly talk to, they all have 2 blooms. 3 have replied so far and all got the second one from the glitch, they didn?t buy one with gems. I know it?s only 65 gems someone will say but I only spend gems and money on things that work towards long term goals like expansions etc. I think we should get another vine giving bloom. I expect to get held up by the 12 hr item, not something else.

I agree with this. They should have just let people keep them and give everyone two blooms. It's as if they gave 65 gems to some players and not others!!! Happy people would have spent money/gems on other things instead, instead they created grudge. People with grudge do not spend money.

I seem to be getting Lunar Wood and Portapillars from any tree except Red Acer. Zero from Red Acers. Anyone else can confirm?

In the last event, I was one of the unlucky ones who reached the two goals where chests of energy were the prize but no energy was given. So S8 made up for it by giving everyone gifts whether they were affected or not, but we still lost the energy we'd won. I think S8 tries to be fair, but in the last event everyone benefited from the bug and in this one only some were able to benefit with the second bloom. I was lucky enough to get the second bloom this time.
