Tiny Little Update - 2/15/2013

[GTMoney]

Hello everyone,

Today in Castle Story, the following changes were made:

- Pink Jewel drop rate has been increased.

That is all. Enjoy your day!

[OpeningCeremony]

YESSSSS!! Thurston thanks you - he will get his bling bling much faster now :D

[SybreTiger]

Why can't you increase the drop of seeds from Valentine's flowers? It says 'high chance', but I only get maybe 1 out of every 20 collects. :/

[cymoril69]

Thank you!!! <hearts>

[wassupbaby]

Can you guys pretty please increase the reward from the new adventure ? It takes 7k coins,18 Mermaid scale but the reward is pretty poor. I know its about luck but all i can get is love stone, love wood( which i already maxed out), seedlings( which i dont need, crafted all kind of plants and trees) , kissing dust( maxed), love essence and pink jewel ( so i can do it again?). I'd rather do explore the dark cave , its 2000 coins cheaper,8 MS less and the reward is much better. Just a thought !

[listh12]

Thank you.

[malleyy]

Still haven't noticed any increase in drops. I collected from my mines several times today (one of which has been updated a few times) and smashed a ton of rocks and nothing. I've been stuck with 2 pink jewels since they were introduced. :/

[elaur]

Yay!

Now I'm stuck on mermaid scales. And no shards to be found :,(

[cloudsail]

No wonder one just popped out when I decided to give my rock a random whack just now. :)

[Dreamer691]

Yay thank you! I just got the last pink gem I needed to craft Thurston's bling! Yippee!

[blurbie]

Thank you! I was using them up on Valentine quest and running out of Thurston's collection. I hope to get Valentine's things so I can upgrade pink towers and build in my love shack.

[onemansmiracle]

I think the rewards of new adventure also need some adjustment,it's poorer than a church mouse. I only got a 4 seedlings and 4 energies from it today,with a little useless countable coins :(

[xfphua]

I used to dark formation mine to obtain just six pink gems, i think if we need to collect 16 gems for two goals, you need to chop at least 10 rock mine.... And I see no difference now.

[MiniLaura]

I got three from a single large rock formation. The rate has definitely increased.

[crystalrayn3]

Thanks!!! 😉👍

[Baraze]

I noticed this yesterday! I mined a large rock and got five pink jewels in one go. I was utterly surprised and was able to finish thurstons bling quickly.

[mamareader02]

I just thought I was on a lucky streak!yes,the adventures(I've done bout 6-7)need to be adjusted a wee bit on giving up those alicorn parts

[lozerrfaceXOXOmommy]

I haven't noticed an increase at all. I've chopped down two rocks and collected from my sparkling mines all day and I have not received even one pink jewel.

I always have the worse luck with this game.

UGH! :(

[jy100]

I have'nt received a pink jewel in three days no matter how many rocks I mine or what kind.

[rosewaterlily]

I haven't seen an increase either, nothing from my two level 5 mines in two days and only one from rock outcroppings, which is about the same rate I was getting before. I've gotten nine total since the beginning of the game, three for the scepter, three for valentine's adventure, and three currently in my inventory.

[debsbaked]

Nice!

Try iron rich rocks. Just went from 3 (been using them for the adventure) to 8 while fulfilling the love letter.

[nasha86]

I haven't noticed an increase at all. I've chopped down two rocks and collected from my sparkling mines all day and I have not received even one pink jewel.

I always have the worse luck with this game.

UGH! :(

Me too, it worse than before this tiny update. :( :(. Two days without any pink jewel

[dng1234]

I've yet to notice a difference either. I tried each of the rocks and not a single pink jewel to be found. Is there something I should do or is it just bad luck?

[lozerrfaceXOXOmommy]

I've chopped down 3 more rock croppings, two iron rich rocks, and I've collected from my sparkling mines every four hours after I posted yesterday and I've gotten only two pink jewels. Including the rocks before that, between yesterday and this morning, I've wasted over 100 energies and I've only gotten two pink jewels.

This wouldn't be so bad if Sir Piggleworth gave me some energy, but I have had him for over a month and he has NEVER given me any energy.

I don't think I'll ever have enough pink jewels to help Thurston or even do a valentines adventure, so that means no unicorn for me and I have neighbors with two of them! :(

[wassupbaby]

They probably bought it with gems . I've done like 7 adventures since i had the Alicorn's quest and still got nothing :|

[evilqueenAC3DS]

Im not finding any pink gems even with this "little update" lol seriously im not sure what update youre talking about. I expected to see more pink gems i broke 4 outcropping rocks and nothing :(

[mamareader02]

Ok-WAS having a lucky streak,now finding a pinky gem gets me almost as excited as seeing a "44 gold to speed up"sign from DS!lol

[pavetrooper]

I have tried resetting the app and launching both the normal castle story and. Ale tines edition and have not gotten a pink jewel for days. Do not think the increase helped out much. Seems like it made it worse!!!!!

[pavetrooper]

Sorry valentines edition (dang autocorrect)

[lanster123]

There is no way I got this update! If anything the opposite has happened. I haven't seen a pink jewel since this "update." Thurston will never get his bling at this rate! I play on an iOS system. I have tried everything and still...nothing! Please help!!

[rengirl1978]

It hasn't been increased for me :-(

[wassupbaby]

Same here. I have a feeling the rate has been reduced in my game :D

[ginerp]

I am not seeing any improvement either. I have been hacking and hacking at every kind of rock and have only found two. There is no way I'll get through the bling goal on time. It's so discouraging I'm just giving up in frustration.

[lanster123]

2 days later of chipping away at large, small, and 2 mines........still NOTHING! Not even 1. Something is WRONG!!

[mamareader02]

I'm finding it that when I craft anything out of the rocks we've been accumulating,I tend to have better chances finding pinky jewels .so I've been making wisps,blocks and fancy blocks to use up the extra rocks and minerals.

[rengirl1978]

I actually have gotten more pink jewels! Even though I just posted 2 days ago that I wasn't getting any, I have gotten like 15 in the last 2 days! I have found that the small rock pile has given me the most pink jewels.

[elizabetheva]

I actually did all right gathering pink jewels, but the last couple of days I have chopped through 10 or more rock piles and haven't found a jewel at all. I'm usually pretty patient and not one to complain, but I went from gathering an average of about 8-10 per day to none, this seems odd. I also haven't received anything from mines, which is also new. Any suggestions?

[elizabetheva]

I noticed my pink stones were maxed out and wondered if it had anything to do with the lower drop rate in pink jewels. I crafted a few walls, then mined a rock pile and collected a pink jewel for the first time in a couple of days! It might be a coincidence, but it seemed to work, so once my energy is refilled I'll keep chopping and see if it continues to improve . . .

[jaybay1147]

Some of you guys are really unlucky, out of five iron rich rock chops, I got two pink gems, same with GD, buy five/four RED mushrooms then collect from them all at one. (you normally get 3/4)

[NayanPrakash]

I'm still stuck on bling bling. Will never complete it in time as I have only 6 pink jewels and I need 10

[elaur]

I think when it was a lower amount I chopped between 10-20 20 hit rocks.
