Update 8-1-2013 Breakfast of Champions

[PrincessH06]

Just when I was starting to get a little bored.... the Baron asks for a Golden omelette.

Oh, and he wants 15 oranges and 6 bread also, all server on a silver platter.

Note that this is a normal decoration. You can't collect from it and it doesn't give royal points.

[clarontinalisa]

Just got my dragon and thought what now? Then up pops a new goal, breakfast of champions! Yeah

[jenj1971]

Help.... Need I find out how to make the big guy a golden omelet... Don't see a thread...
Help?

[cymoril69]

I just checked my kitchen and there was no recipe for a golden omelette. <confused> So, I'm cooking "Feed the Baron" to see if that's it. Will let you know in 2 hours. :)

[PrincessH06]

...and in the same second I posted this, a bunch others did too ;) We are eager players!!

[JayUK69]

It's another rdiculous update. It needs a silver plate which you need for sweet feasts to try and get the burning ember for the dragon egg. Silver ore is very slow in coming too, so you have to miss out on a desert sands adventure for this one.

[doublescream]

Maybe you'll have to find a golden egg to trigger the recipe?

[PrincessH06]

It was too easy to be true, and so it wasn't. Looking forward to hear the outcome...

[arale_norimaki]

Can you give more details? Who is the big guy?

[jenj1971]

I have everything except the golden omelet ... Where do I get that??

[PrincessH06]

Maybe you'll have to find a golden egg to trigger the recipe?

Also a good thought! Go feed them chickens!

[arale_norimaki]

I bet it uses the golden eggs those chicken have been dropping like crazy

[jenj1971]

Lol.... Never mind... Found it.
"Breakfast of Champions" goal
"the big guy" is the Baron

[mom4surex2]

I think they are geniuses... After the goal popped up I sped up my kitchen and then forge and the workshop looking for the omelette recipe - big fat waste of gems. :-( excited for the new goal, but seems like it should be done pretty quickly once we figure out how to make the omelette.

[MiniLaura]

Merged three threads, and now it's a bit confusing. Oh well. You all will sort it out ;)

[jenj1971]

It's all good!!!

[JayUK69]

Looks like the omelette will be yet another tedious rare random drop, what with it being 100 gems to skip. Are TL trying to scrap the game by frustrating the hell out of players to the point we all give up on it.

[doublescream]

It seems like the reward for completing this goal/goal chain? Is a decoration, the Golden Obelisk

[cymoril69]

The Obelisk is really pretty. I'd like to order a row of 10 please!!! :)

[PrincessH06]

At one point, I was maxing out on the silver ore, so I made 2 dusin platters... It was even before I had the sweet feast :) Aaand still have plenty left. Yeay for me!

[PrincessH06]

No problem, we will. Thanks!

[PrincessH06]

I bet it uses the golden eggs those chicken have been dropping like crazy

I know, I have like 12 or something...

[arale_norimaki]

I am hoping the golden omelette is a recipe that gets triggered by collecting a golden egg. If it were a rare drop it would be like a joke, after all the complaining about rare drops for the dragon quest.

[minndom]

My vote goes to triggering recipe after a new golden egg. Is the omelette going to be made in kitchen or in forge? :p

[claver1]

I think you need to do the ''Feed the barron'' in the kitchen, since ive read people had some errors with it this week.

[PrincessH06]

I think you are on to something here. Good thinking!

Will be interesting to hear - in 1 hr 50 mins!

[arale_norimaki]

The errors with Feed the baron (receiving favors instead of a real thing) are an ongoing problem since at least two months.

I don't vote for the Feed the Baron, I am sure this lame baron wants ME to actually cook something for him this time, he is not going to give it to me so that I can give it back to him.

[claver1]

Well its either Feed the baron or an golden egg drop that triggers a new quest.

[mamareader02]

Now we have to figure out how to get/make omelette!

[arale_norimaki]

I have collected from my 11 chickens and got nothing. Now waiting for them to refill...

[JayUK69]

Well it doesn't look like the golden egg triggers anything, just received one from chickens and didn't get anything pop up. Can't check my kitchen for another 45 minutes.

[arale_norimaki]

True.....

[jenj1971]

Rare drop from the hatchery maybe??

[mamareader02]

Very happy with getting update,but we sure coulda used an expansion plot or 2.

[jenj1971]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't let it be a rare drop...

[Tixa40]

So, any luck of how to get the golfem omelete?

[mamareader02]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't let it be a rare drop...

Oh,it's gonna be a rare drop-hopefully not from adventure,hopefully from chickens or hatchery!

[farmerted7]

I think we are waiting for a recipe in the kitchen that uses golden eggs. . . Perhaps something triggers it, like a golden egg drop or another rare item. Other things go in omelette a too-- like cheese, ham, peppers...

We shall see!

[midnightmeerkat]

Maybe it's a glitch and the recipe is coming

[jua1978]

Help!!!! Golden omelette is no where to be found? :(

[mamareader02]

We're all waiting for that first person to figure it out/find it

[mikado86]

I got a golden egg from a chicken. And I can confirm it does NOT trigger anything in the kitchen.

If I had to guess the omelete or the recipe itself drops from either feed the baron, he dairy trade at the market or an adventure

[glimmergate]

Hey guys, you should be able to craft the omelette in the kitchen! We're currently investigating the issue of the missing craft, so please hang tight!

[mamareader02]

Great...only hour and half wait till my bread is done!oh,well,give that ol patience stuff a try

[mikado86]

Update after speeding the feed the baron he dropped "20 favor" which is the recipe. I'll post a screenshot of the mats soon

[Rachel1973]

I've got the recipe in my kitchen. Force closed and there it was. Takes 8 hours and you need 10 golden eggs, 15 milk and 25 bacon. Mine is cooking!!!!��

[glimmergate]

Please try force closing and restarting your game - you should now see the Golden Omelette craft in your Kitchen.

Yeah also got the omelet in my kitchen! It takes 8 hours to make it!

[cad33]

At one point, I was maxing out on the silver ore, so I made 2 dusin platters... It was even before I had the sweet feast :) Aaand still have plenty left. Yeay for me!

LOL. Yeah, I had two deep mines long before I had desert sands adventure so I started making a silver platter whenever I maxed out on silver. Still have 3-4 platters left... which is good because now I need the silver for other things! :)

[chrisukrules]

I just checked my kitchen and there was no recipe for a golden omelette. <confused> So, I'm cooking "Feed the Baron" to see if that's it. Will let you know in 2 hours. :)
If you restart your device the item should pop up in the kitchen, it's not the feed the baron thing- wish it was... 10 gold eggs!!!

It does. Also I suggest everyone start making banner poles! He wants, I think, 6 yellow banners

Is this only available after reaching a certain level or completing a previous questline (fx kitchen caravans and food-related quests)? I have the goal on my main account, but not on my secondary account, which is level 24 and still hasn't completed the caravans, fruit quests and balanced breakfast.

I have my omelette cooking. Making some bread too. The prize looks sooooo pretty! I hope we can have more than one and its not super tiny. For all its worth to get I need it to be a large and tall structure. And gosh, making these poles will take a while.

[eastie41]

Just to report: Force close your game and re-installing it will bring up the "Breakfast of Champions" Goal line and recipe in the kitchen. I just did it. Have Fun!:cool:

[maguar]

I actually got a little impatient and sped up a few steps. If you check the first post you'll see a number of steps.

[rosewaterlily]

Yay something to do! Hopefully the golden omelet has some long term use because I have almost twice as many eggs as nuggets, and it's a major game balance issue since we need more nuggets than eggs for the golden trade.

same here! i was about to max out on golden eggs but have little golden nuggets and golden apples. i can't imagine eating a golden omelet though, sounds painful for the teeth!

I was doing the Golden Trade, so I'm low on eggs. Might just need to get more chickens.

[onemansmiracle]

Are you kidding me, how am I supposed to make an extra dragon statue when you set a limit?? I am full of statue of this category? You want me to sell a carriage of 200 gems or some unicorn statues worth of 120 gems to make a room?? Can it be more logical more than this? It is not like building that I have a choice to build or not to, I can't believe it's happening in a quest!!

[1Murphy1]

I already have a dragon statue, but is that worthless for the quest? Why does this request have to compete with the sweet feast, I use my kitchens non stop to try to get the non existent Burning ember. Why not also add some new levels and something to keep us from loosing our lanterns . I've been at 99 for awhile. Loose new ones every time. There was a time when you never had enough. Most of my thing are at 99. Why not allow us to Upgrade the STORAGE CELLAR. If they can't push out the upgrades allow us to not loose what we are working hard to get doing all adventures. They seem to give everything not needed, but nothing you need.

Haha you sound like me. I swear my kitchens are going to go up in flames trying to cook up items for that ember. And I think they need to exceed 100 on the storage as well.

I actually got a little impatient and sped up a few steps. If you check the first post you'll see a number of steps.

This quest was looking rather reasonable until I saw the part about making 5 gold bars... 50 nuggets? <sigh>

[hopesdragons]

Oh wait... Is that just to make more obliesks? That I can handle.

[JayUK69]

They have got to be kidding, 10 gold nuggets? I haven't seen one in about 2 months, going to take about a year to finish this one. TL really are taking the [] now.

[irishmeagan]

Yay! Thank you!

[maguar]

I believe you just have to own a dragon statue not make a new one

Correct. The goal with the banners and statue say have so it counts ones you already have.


This quest was looking rather reasonable until I saw the part about making 5 gold bars... 50 nuggets? <sigh>

Your avatar says something about that as well. Then when you check the forge you now see it costs $99,999 and no nuggets.

[onemansmiracle]

I have 30 unicorns,and a carriage,and a few new items from adventure which all belong to the same category, I don't own any dragon statue. They now set limit to 30,I was able to pass the number long ago before the fixed up update,the excessive items were all from adventure. Now they have this Big Move, I should sell all my 4 overgrown benches and others stuffs and still 2 unicorns to reduce my item number to 29 to make room for a miserable little dragon statue??? That's just Greeeeeeeat!

My first thought when I saw the recipe was that it's the pg version of the "golden crown" from game of thrones... ;D

[mamareader02]

So for the first bar we still need 10 nuggets?2 down,8 to go!:(

[vchanhs]

I actually got a little impatient and sped up a few steps. If you check the first post you'll see a number of steps.

Lol...after waiting for more than a month for updates and you speed it up? Now you will be bored again waiting.

[homegrown234]

On a side note, I had 101 simple glues about a week ago. I thought you couldn't break 100 but I was wrong.

[mikado86]

Guess I should have made all those 5 gems trades. I certainly doe not have 50 golden nuggets just laying around

[bowlfullofcherries]

I had 98 wisp lanterns, made one in each workshop and the camp so now have 101. :) kinda neat.

The omelette will be a fun keepsake if I can scrape up enough chickens. I try to make two of everything in case they're temporary items. I wonder if it'll stick around after the quest is over?

Any level 30 players w/Alicorn still doing the daily adventures? If there's a thread for this I'd appreciate being pointed in that direction.

I have an Alicorn and still do the adventures every day, I got a royal pig a couple days ago. I dont have a high drop rate for nuggets or eggs tho, i only have 8 eggs and 1 nugget. This is going to take a long time for me.

Do we have 2 use the nuggets or can we spend $99,999 for them? Im still waiting on golden eggs for the omelet.

[rosewaterlily]

Really happy we can store fruit trees now. Since I gave the baron 15 oranges, I took out my third orange tree from storage to help replenish my supply (have only one apple tree so my extra orange and lemon trees from adventures just take up space for the most part) and it's nice to know I can still put it away when I'm at equal numbers of orange/lemon/apple again. Was a little disappointed that the breakfast of champions didn't involve the breakfast buffet though, as I made a bunch of those in the old days before the royal exchange when I had nothing to do with bacon and oranges.

[tudou1]

Do we need 10 golden nuggets for first gold bar or just all money?

[vchanhs]

Do we need 10 golden nuggets for first gold bar or just all money?

First one 10 nuggets. Rest 99999 coins.

[homegrown234]

I got 24 nuggets and 7 eggs left. I too want to make an extra omelette but need 3 more eggs. I hope it doesn't disappear after I'm done with the first. Thank goodness I ran out of apples or I probably would have used them all up in the exchange. I go on daily castle missions in hopes of one day getting the burning ember. One day.

[mom4surex2]

Just want to make sure I'm not missing something....we either have to pay 60 gems for the dragon statue or wait around until we get one from an adventure? I wish I could trade in one of my unicorn statues for gems!

The fruit trees are buys you make playing the games for goals. TL has so many games so a good way to make gem costs lessen is to spread the SimGame love! Installing a game for goal gets you thirty gems to start. Careful! Some of them are seriously addictive. Otherwise, delete when you're done with it.

Wow. I sound like Tour Guide Barbie off Toy Story 3.

[ajax1964]

My Obelisk is cooking, 20 hours to go!

[homegrown234]

My Obelisk is cooking, 20 hours to go!


Nice! My omelette is less than an hour from completion.

[ajax1964]

Wow I have no patience, lol. Obelisk in place!!

[ajax1964]

Had most of the ingredients and I'm sure you all no I have no patience. Hi my name's Adam and I play Castle Story, lol

[bowlfullofcherries]

How much space does the obelisk require?

[ajax1964]

That would be KNOW not no. Carry on.

[bowlfullofcherries]

Haha! Hi Adam. How many squares is the obelisk? Single square? 2x2? Please, not more than that...

[ajax1964]

It's 2 x 2

[homegrown234]

How much space does the obelisk require?


Great question. Also how long is the collection? What do you receive? I'm sure not many have finished it though.

[vchanhs]

Wow I have no patience, lol. Obelisk in place!!

Poor thing. Waited so long for an update and you finish it in less then a day. You do know that there is no second helpings after you finish your bottle of coke, right? Lol...

[TY123456TY]

what item will drop from "Golden Obelisk" ??

[bowlfullofcherries]

Thank you ajax1964. Lol, vchanhs, you sound rather unsympathetic.

I think the one time I purposefully fast forwarded an action was for the Bestiaries. I'd collected eight in two weeks- two the first week the rest the second- and I didn't want to wait two more weeks for two more books. So, the uncertainty or eight gems. I spent the eight gems. Otherwise I'm rather proud of my self control regarding this game. It helps that I'm a cheapskate, of course.

[jungzenie]

I wonder what the golden obelix does? And how much golden nudget to craft the first gold bar, i cant saw it clearly in the first post

[arale_norimaki]

Oh, so the Obelisk drops stuff? I didn't think so because it is a decoration. That would be new, a decoration that has drops!

I expected it to add RP, can someone confirm that?

[doublescream]

Oh, so the Obelisk drops stuff? I didn't think so because it is a decoration. That would be new, a decoration that has drops!

Nobody knows if it drops anything, it's just speculations.

[bowlfullofcherries]

It doesn't appear to be more than a decoration. It's in the decorations section- not a royal building or something to collect from.

[vitriolicheart]

First one 10 nuggets. Rest 99999 coins.

Can you craft more than one for nuggets if you don't complete that step?

[arale_norimaki]

Nobody knows if it drops anything, it's just speculations.

It is confirmed: obelisk is a normal decoration, hence no drops, no RP.

[onemansmiracle]

It is confirmed: obelisk is a normal decoration, hence no drops, no RP.

Can we cancel this quest? So many sacrifices for nothing. I can leave it there unfinished,but I like to keep my quest window clean...

[seascape9]

Do you have to finish making all the banners and stuff BEFORE the gold bars show up in the mahic forge? I haven't finished my banners and don't have the option for gold bars!

[lotuskat]

Baaaarrrroooooon!!!! (in my best William Shatner voice)

[theladymorgana]

Am I the only one with only a few nuggets? I have 2, and while I have been doing the trade for gems, I haven't gotten a nugget for weeks.

[Oliver118]

I have 2 Gold Nuggets, 1 Golden Egg and no Golden Apple. Fortunately nothing requires apple, since there is no way I could possibly get it. Come on, chickens! Come on, mine!

[Oliver118]

It is confirmed: obelisk is a normal decoration, hence no drops, no RP.

Lovely decoration though.:)

[arale_norimaki]

Am I the only one with only a few nuggets? I have 2, and while I have been doing the trade for gems, I haven't gotten a nugget for weeks.

I have 5 and can confirm that they drop rarely, when doing the Golden trade nuggets are my limiting factor (I have 6 apple trees and the magic garden, so getting golden apples is rather frequent). I stopped doing the trade because I wanted to stock up in case any goal required any nugget or golden apple. If it was any kind of intuition it came to me too late.

[arale_norimaki]

Do you have to finish making all the banners and stuff BEFORE the gold bars show up in the mahic forge? I haven't finished my banners and don't have the option for gold bars!

Yes, you need to finish the goal "Party planning" to get the option to craft a Gold bar

[seascape9]

Yes, you need to finish the goal "Party planning" to get the option to craft a Gold bar

Thanks! That's what I was afraid of!

[jenj1971]

I am so happy this goal appeared!!!
As I was gathering things for party planning last night and my "Love Sheep" gave me the golden fleece!!!!
Working in both goals now...
Not using any gems.
Taking my time.
Savoring this!!!
Feels like the good 'ol days :)

[nan0165]

What?? no cake!! I started cake, was sure the Baron would want to satisfy his sweet tooth!
Gold nuggets ....OMG. That takes forever. I had not missed the Baron at all.

[angellahg]

I got my ninth golden egg last night..then a sync error and its gone, havent gotten it again so still at 8 and only 1 nugget!

[brandonu]

Pretty odd that my waiting on this quest has been to bake bread and craft banners.

[CottageRose]

Pretty odd that my waiting on this quest has been to bake bread and craft banners.

Maybe not so odd. :) I have been holding onto my golden items just in case of something like this, and had everything else in stock - except the bread, the banners and the dragon statue. Now crafting banners too.

[CottageRose]

It's always a gamble though, stocking up on items, as we never know if the rarer items will be used again in the future for something critical.

[arale_norimaki]

Pretty odd that my waiting on this quest has been to bake bread and craft banners.

I am crafting banners too, lol, I had crafted only one banner last year for an old goal - and I had chosen a yellow banner, hahaha.

The truth is I am not even hurrying. I want this to last, I am not sure if we will have anything else new soon...

[JayUK69]

I want this to last

Which will be the case for most of us who have zero luck with random drops. I have no gold nuggets and haven't seen one for about 2 months, it's going to take a year to get the 10 needed for this gold bar. There is no way I'm buying any more gems until TL actually put out some decent quests that don't heavily rely on rare random drops, but don't see that happening anytime soon. It's a shame all the players they are losing don't give them cause for thought to try and improve things. I've had to delete about 30+ neighbours who have stopped playing since the T&T and dragon egg quests started.

[theladymorgana]

Can we cancel this quest? So many sacrifices for nothing. I can leave it there unfinished,but I like to keep my quest window clean...

Same thing for master botanist as well please?

[MiniLaura]

Can we cancel this quest? So many sacrifices for nothing. I can leave it there unfinished,but I like to keep my quest window clean...

There is no way to cancel or delete goals. They will stay there unless you complete them.

[081702]

We state how we dislike the T&T and then the Dragon Goals, then we get a new one and do more complaints. If we could finish these goals quickly, we would be asking for something two days later. This isn't like bakery where we have four days or somethinf to finish everything. Take your time and do it at your pace.

Yeah, I'm annoyed too that Ive been stuck on two nuggets for weeks now. But just like with the manticore, Sabina, the dragon egg and T&T, I will learn to appreciate having had something to do everyday, to pass forward in the game.

[bowlfullofcherries]

I don't think it's fair to complain about the time it takes to complete a goal. Especially since some of us fast forward completion once something new does come along. That's never been my complaint, though. I actually didn't even mind the Alicorn being such a randomly dropped item. It was one thing outside of the regular flow of the game to kind of be on the look out for, but nothing to cry about.

But randomness within a stated quest is absurd. The t&t is case in point. What kind of goal can be disregarded yet still completed without trying? Sabina's goals were difficult and there were hiccups where I felt like a TL lab mouse with the way supplies would suddenly dry up but I'm almost resigned to that state of affairs. Still, the requirements were exact. I certainly enjoyed that quest and other aspects of the game. I like the dragon quest and the golden omelette, too.

But it's also not fair to ignore a valid point. I'm not interested in arguing it anymore after this last brouhaha, though. That horse has been beat ad nauseam.

[wassupbaby]

well, the whole new quest line just for a decoration ? not even a royal one ? Come on , you can do better than that TL !!!!

[ghjvcucjb]

I'm definitely taking my time. I have nothing else to do (i dont count the missing alicorn as anything real to do) and my kingdom is slowly losing my attention. Even this goal is kind of anti-climatic as I have little hope that anything else is coming after it.

As for the comments that it takes up a lot of resources, some of us and eventually all of us, if there aren't more involved goals given, are/will be maxed out on all resources now/soon. So don't fret about using them. There isn't anything else better you're going to be needing them for. I'm starting to feel like Paris Hilton, too much money for my own good so why not throw $100,000 down on a birkin bag or three or 80? Nothing else to do with those resources.

Hey, TL, can we have bags and shoes in our kingdom?

[vednir]

So it's 10 nuggets for the 1st bar to give to the baron and another 50 nuggets for the 5 bars for the obelisk? I've avoided doing golden trades as there's too many gem traps and accumulating gems is never worthwhile in any TL game but only managed to accumulate 31 to date since the last batch I used to upgrade my mines. Still it seems TL would much rather have you spend the nuggets for the obelisk instead of converting them to gems which costs a real money equivalent.

[brandonu]

I am crafting banners too, lol, I had crafted only one banner last year for an old goal - and I had chosen a yellow banner, hahaha.

The truth is I am not even hurrying. I want this to last, I am not sure if we will have anything else new soon...

I stopped trading my golden items for the most part, especially since the apples are so hard for me to get. The 14 eggs and 10 nuggets certainly have come in handy. Still chasing a burning ember on the dragon quest, so I will be cooking and farming non stop until that comes.

[mikado86]

As far I understand you can craft the other hold ingots after the first one using only gold (money coins) and jewels i think. Which is good. Because I have too much to care and its safe o say I don't have 50 gold nuggets just laying around

[emeraldwyvern]

So it's 10 nuggets for the 1st bar to give to the baron and another 50 nuggets for the 5 bars for the obelisk?

I haven't finished this goal yet, but from what other people have been saying, once you make one bar for 10 nuggets, the others can be made with coins, rather than nuggets.

I have had some luck getting gold nuggets from iron rich rocks, which also seem to drop about 2-3 silver per rock (8 taps to clear).

I understand almost the same thing as mikado86: first craft of Gold bar needs 10 nuggets, then it changes to 99,999 coins.

The thing that requires jewels is crafing the obelisk, not the gold bar, though.

[Sobepeng]

Is it true that the obelisk is just a decoration with no RP and no collection? Bah, I'll wait on completing it then. I would rather use my money for finishing upgrades/expansions.

[hmgdanielson]

I agree with this, and that's why I think that quests should include more things that we can control - making items, etc - that have longer wait times. I don't mind keeping my kitchen busy making feasts, and then having to spend the time going on the adventures... So long as by the end of the adventures, I've actually succeeded in doing something.

The random drops turn this game into collection tedium. You aren't working towards anything. You're working and hoping something good happens to you. It's gone from being a cute game with things that you can do (grow 50 carrots) to a cute game with things you wait for (grow carrots until you win a prize). Essentially, it's turned into a slot machine - pull the handle until you win. I don't mind elements of randomness - being random levels the playing field so more people can play. But having so much randomness is overwhelming.

[bowlfullofcherries]

I'm latching onto this goal tooth and nail. I'm newly Complete. So I bought my second Deep Mine, placing a lvl 5 mine in storage for lack of space. I'm working it up to lvl 5. This to keep occupied.

The golden omelette goal is mana from heaven. Even if it is for a decoration I can't place.

[farmerjoeed]

Didn't catch the "changes to money only" and used up 20 gold nuggets for two bars cooking in 2 forges thinking I would save a $100k.. Down to zero nuggets as a result. Ive been getting them regularly from the deep mines and 2 level 5 regular mines so not a huge deal, but should have checked the posts here again for today's updates before kicking off my gold bars.

[newzealander]

I'm loving this one! No randomness - just lots of smart crafting and gathering. Thanks for listening, TL.

[katbtodd]

Which will be the case for most of us who have zero luck with random drops.

I've had to delete about 30+ neighbours who have stopped playing since the T&T and dragon egg quests started.. I been busting rocks,, and gotten 3 gold nuggets in the last 24 hours

[1Murphy1]

Once you have the 5 golden bars made from 99,999. Each, they take 4 hrs each , you will still need jewels I think it's 50, I'm busy using my forge making 3rd gold bar, still gotta make my armor for the desert sands adventure.

[hmgdanielson]

I'm loving this one! No randomness - just lots of smart crafting and gathering. Thanks for listening, TL.

Except, you know... Golden eggs. ;)

[mommy1951]

Is the omelet just a one time thing? I noticed after I made the omlet the option went away in the kitchen

[bowlfullofcherries]

Yes. The only way to have more than one is to start making the next before 'giving' the Baron the first one.

[Gardienn]

Yes. The only way to have more than one is to start making the next before 'giving' the Baron the first one.

Really? I made it, gave it to him, and the golden omelette is still sitting in my kitchen as a cooking option.

[wealthyrich]

Can we chop up acers for use? Or do we have to keep them ?

[bowlfullofcherries]

Gradienn, maybe your goal is still open, then? I can't make it now but the omelette was the last thing I gave of the requirements there.

[mikado86]

Is the omelet just a one time thing? I noticed after I made the omlet the option went away in the kitchen

Yes. I personally made a second one. Because I could. And my workshops were busy crafting the banners and statue anyways so there was no point rushing

[mikado86]

Can we chop up acers for use? Or do we have to keep them ?

You don't even have to nurture them. The quest says "buy and place" period. You can burn them soon after you place them for all the baron cares

[wealthyrich]

wasting a lot of energy to water the acers, which could otherwise be used for doing other stuff

[bowlfullofcherries]

Those of you making multiple omelettes, is the goal still open?

[PrincessH06]

You don't even have to nurture them. The quest says "buy and place" period. You can burn them soon after you place them for all the baron cares
:cool:

[mikado86]

Those of you making multiple omelettes, is the goal still open?

Yes. It was. I never gave him a piece of bread. I gave him the omelete and then crafted another. It is gone out of your kitchen as soon you complete the quest

[bowlfullofcherries]

I didn't place the banners. I sent them straight to storage. They all counted.

[katbtodd]

I didn't place the banners. I sent them straight to storage. They all counted.

Yes I did the same thing ,,,all counted,,, just places trees all counted.

[str0ngbad]

If I use gems to skip the initial gold bar quest, do I get a gold bar? Or, does it let me use coins to craft them? I have terrible rare drop rates. So, this quest will take me weeks to complete.

[NanaCanna]

if you do the goal steps in order the omelette will be in your kitchen. Mine was. I'm on the parts where I'm making the 5 gold bars to build the obelisk. Which is already in my magic forge.

[redlorry]

I'm loving this one! No randomness - just lots of smart crafting and gathering. Thanks for listening, TL.

I agree with that. If it dropped something it would be perfect.

[wealthyrich]

Give B one gold bar (10 nuggets)

Next craft obelisk with 5 bars (50 nuggets)

Total 60 nuggets

[laVirtualCloset]

Give B one gold bar (10 nuggets)

Next craft obelisk with 5 bars (50 nuggets)

Total 60 nuggets

That's incorrect.

you do need 10 gold nuggets to craft the 1st gold bar.

Once u've collected the first gold bar your Magic Forge will still show the recipe requires 10 nuggets to make another....but DON'T CRFT IT.

instead, go back to your goals book in the top left hand corner. Once u've given the Barron the 1st gold bar, a new gold will pop up called "a monument to greatness" which will instruct u to craft the Gold Obelisk. Once this gold pops up, then u should go back to the Magic Forge. You will see that the recipe for making the gold bar has changed. Instead of needing 10 gold nuggets, you now need 99,999 coins. Hope this clears up any confusion.

[laVirtualCloset]

Once this "goal" pops up, not "gold" .... Sorry, crazy iPad keyboard.

[arale_norimaki]

Give B one gold bar (10 nuggets)

Next craft obelisk with 5 bars (50 nuggets)

Total 60 nuggets

I understood from what others players told that the 1st Gold Bar requires 10 golden nuggets.
However, after giving that Gold Bar to the Baron, the requirements in the Magic Forge turn into 99,999 coins per Gold Bar, instead of 10 Golden Nuggets.

My Magic ForgeS are busy until tomorrow, so I can't check for myself. What about your Magic Forge, haven't the requirements changed after crafting your first Gold Bar and giving it to the Baron?

[arale_norimaki]

Oops, too late. I am a slow typer :p

[laVirtualCloset]

Me too! I just happen to see this one first. I'm usually an early riser on Sats but a very late Friday night coupled with trying to type on an iPad when first waking up is not the best idea for me. Oh how i wish everyone could edit their posts. I also meant to say .... a new "goal" will pop up, not a new "gold" ...

[pugzbakery]

So I just finished making the Golden Obelisk. Looks like you can only make one, but you can buy more for $500,000.

[mamareader02]

Only have 2 nuggets,and since this is only a decoration,gonna take my time and not gem any of this goal

Are sure it's just a decoration ,, that's what they said about,the glimmer trove. And it give out glimmer dust

The Glimmer trove is for sale in the Market > Buildings > Special

The Obelisk is also for sale but in Market > Decorations > Town

[PrincessH06]

And now: HOW am I going to gather 9 nuggets? Have 1, as you easily can see :S

[Oliver118]

I never got any goals. They might be locked until a higher level, I am only level 18.

[Oliver118]

So I just finished making the Golden Obelisk. Looks like you can only make one, but you can buy more for $500,000.

Expensive. It reminds me of the habitat prices for Dragon story. The price is excessively expensive.

[vitriolicheart]

And now: HOW am I going to gather 9 nuggets? Have 1, as you easily can see :S

My mines stopped dropping them as soon as this quest went live. Not that I needed any for this. I had enough for two bars.
I still keep getting golden eggs. Golden eggs everywhere.......
Can I sell them for cash? I still really short on coins.

[hoangcao9]

Golden Obelisk doesnt give anything

[Cesar49]

I'm loving this one! No randomness - just lots of smart crafting and gathering. Thanks for listening, TL.

Of course it's random if, like me, you don't have the golden nuggets needed for a gold bar. I have loads of golden eggs and golden apples but the last time my mines (both level 5) or deep mines dropped a golden nugget was over a month ago. I have 4, so at that rate I'll be giving the baron his birthday present sometime next year!

[bfmello]

Disapointing... not even coins???

[PrincessH06]

Me too.... :( I have started chopping Iron Rich Rock. On the second I got one nugget, which never was counted in my inventory ( yes, I've closed game etc). It came at the same time as a fangbeast, so something happened there. Building a second Deep Mine now and continue with the iron rocks... Steady and calm....

[081702]

I broke 20 iron Rick rocks, no nuggets, the baron will be getting a Xmas present instead. Because this isnt working.

[omniBliss]

Now crafting the gold bars for the Golden Obelisk, yay! Too bad they are 100,000 coins each. I really enjoyed seeing my bank above 1 million coins.

I wish all this "money" and gold bars were real!! Lol

[konstans07]

What do u mean doesn't give anything??? Just decoration???
Is it a joke??
It's only one hour till its done, I'm not gonna hurry up.. Just waiting!!
Hope it gives something!!!!!!!!!

[katbtodd]

I broke 20 iron Rick rocks, no nuggets, the baron will be getting a Xmas present instead. Because this isnt working.

The iron ore work gave me nothing I been getting the gold from the biggest rock,,not the little ones,. Got two this morning one more to go

[queenofpolharcity]

I agree with this, and that's why I think that quests should include more things that we can control - making items, etc - that have longer wait times. I don't mind keeping my kitchen busy making feasts, and then having to spend the time going on the adventures... So long as by the end of the adventures, I've actually succeeded in doing something.

Essentially, it's turned into a slot machine - pull the handle until you win. I don't mind elements of randomness - being random levels the playing field so more people can play. But having so much randomness is overwhelming.


I absolutely agree with this. I love having my kitchens and workshops humming along, creating a specific list of something -- like the Cooking Caravan. But the randomness of the Burning Ember? Alicorn Parts? It's just depressing and frustrating! And it's made ten times worse knowing that TeamLava knows that we don't like it, we've told them over and over, but they do it anyway because they don't care! It's all part of a marketing plan designed to make us frustrated enough to spend gems so we can get past the most frustrating parts.

I understand TLs need to make money, but give us value packs and better things than that to spend on, bot making us so frustrated that we don't even care about our Kingdoms any more.

[appplepeary]

WHAT???? Nothing????? no gold??? was expecting something ultra fancy like gold sheep or something! ekkk just like sabrina's house.....

[mikado86]

Well I can't talk for all the "old" or beta players or whatever. I started playing 20 feb or something. I know because I missed the valentine edition and probably won't get an alicorn until next valentine. My kingdom is nor bursting with cool things. I got 2 wizard schools manor chateau etc. pretty much what you would expect from any lvl 30 player that plays other TL games and milk them for gems

So anyways I don't particularly dislike the random drops. Mostly because the game has been generous and never makes me wait over a week for any drop.

Bottom line. It's a game. If you are not having fun don't blame the game. Just find something more productive to waste your free time into.

Just consider it could be worst. It could be MUCH worst. For example. How would you feel if you could only get golden eggs from buying them onlys In a box with 1 random item that you could only buy with gems and its about the same %chance of dropping said item than the drop of a mermaid scale for not finding a more cheap example

[Cesar49]

So anyways I don't particularly dislike the random drops. Mostly because the game has been generous and never makes me wait over a week for any drop.

Exactly the point. You're lucky and have never waited over a week for anything. I've been doing the desert adventure for over two weeks with no burning ember. I only have four gold nuggets and am unlikely to get more for months. I've got a neighbour who still hasn't got an alicorn wing after SEVEN months, and no dragon egg after four weeks waiting. Random drops are fine in games IF you have a fair chance of achieving something in reasonable time. It cannot be difficult for the games' programmers to put in a time limit which ensures that every player achieves objectives within a certain timescale.

[fino212]

Can you buy and place the acer trees before getting to that part of the task or do you have to wait? I'm currently making my banners whilst waiting for my tenth golden egg to make the omelette and wandered if I should buy the acers while waiting aswell?

[bowlfullofcherries]

Acers bought beforehand don't count.

[stuffedmounts]

I agree with this, and that's why I think that quests should include more things that we can control - making items, etc - that have longer wait times. I don't mind keeping my kitchen busy making feasts, and then having to spend the time going on the adventures... So long as by the end of the adventures, I've actually succeeded in doing something.
I mostly agree with you but I do take issue when going on adventures takes arguably too much preparation, and a quest depends on a very rare drop from such an adventure. Judging by all the posts frustration or flat out anger over these issues, it's obviously TL should consider new ways to regulate the speed of the game and the players ability to feel like they're accomplishing something. Repetitive, drawn-out, annoying tasks is not the right approach.


Just consider it could be worst. It could be MUCH worst. For example. How would you feel if you could only get golden eggs from buying them onlys In a box with 1 random item that you could only buy with gems and its about the same %chance of dropping said item than the drop of a mermaid scale for not finding a more cheap example
Why bother considering it could be worse? The fact that a game could be worse is no justification for whatever its current problems are. I have no interest in what your imagination dreams up about how to make the game worse, I care only about reality and what the game actually is/does. You should keep in mind that TL needs to find the right balance between keeping players interested, actively playing, and invested enough that they might actually spend their hard-earned cash every once in a while. The jury isn't still out on this stuff. Peoples willingness to spend money on games like this greatly increase when it enhances their experience. Making it a requirement to accomplish goals at all is a complete turn-off and a good way to get people to stop playing the game altogether.

It's quite obvious reading this forum that people have a love-hate relationship with Castle Story (and other TL games for that matter). That says that they're on the right path, but there is certainly a lot of room for improvement.

So I just finished making the Golden Obelisk. Looks like you can only make one, but you can buy more for $500,000.

I made five more gold bars so that I could have a pair of obelisks, but now the option to craft the second one is gone. That's some expensive inventory laying around!

[Anyuszko]

Funny. I was trying to get golden nugget on my main acc. Was breaking like 20-30 rocks, in ~ 6-7 days with no success.

On my other acc, I got one from a deep mine, one from a regular mine and two from rocks - in the same day! I have now 11 nuggets on that acc, ready for the quest.

[laVirtualCloset]

Weird, there were 21 pages of responses showing for this thread on my iPad, and literally seconds later its only showing 6.

Anyway, i finally received my Gold Obelisk this morning and feeling completely underwhelmed. Fortunately, i have coins to spare because i'd be extremely disappointed if i had a low balance and focused on this quest instead of something else. I guess its TL's way of responding to all those players who say they have a large balance of coins with nothing to do with them.

i find the look of it pretty garish so unless it provides something valuable, i'm putting it in storage soon. Maybe it could give random drops of gold nuggets, eggs, and apples. I know it doesn't at the moment but it would be nice if it did. For now, it will sit in my Kingdom as a representation for the time and effort i committed to finishing the quest.

Golden Obelisk doesnt give anything

i got my today, what a disappointment, a tiny sharp golden decoration tower :(
so much effort for nothing :(

[lotuskat]

The obelisk looks like something Donald Trump would build...

[mamareader02]

I'm still gathering nuggets(2/10),not in any hurry though since it does absolutely nothing.hope future updates have better goals that mostly don't include luck,I like the ones that when you work hard on your queen dom,you will be rewarded(gathering and using resources,preparing for adventures,etc.)

[JayUK69]

After not finding a single gold nugget for months, I had 5 drop yesterday. Still need another 5 though and none have dropped at all today.

[vednir]

Due to a gem trap I now have an obelisk that cost 28 gems. Fortunately no real money was spent on those gems nor will it ever until there is a confirmation button.

Can someone post a pic of it please? We knew if was just decor. We knew it gave no points or shiny treats, but deal. We can either do the goal or let or sit there. I'm choosing to crush rocks like donkey kong because I think its too cute for words.

I have 2/5 gold bars made, but I'm holding off and saving the rest if my coins for now. It's way to blingy for my mostly blue collar kingdom (I have two carriages from adventures that are in storage for the same reason.) Plus, who wants a baron monument? If I do place it it will be in a pigsty.

Thanks, Maguar! These would look nice surrounding Sabinas house.

[nan0165]

I think it could look better ...but I still want it to complete my court yard/garden. In my mind its a monument to my hard work on my Queendom! Forget the Barron.:p when he is not demanding something I forget about him altogether.
My main concern is the number of my neighbor who have stopped playing.

[bowlfullofcherries]

I think it's perfect for the Baron- the Washington Monument on steroids. Gaudy, flashy... Is it bad that I kinda like it? XD

No ....we are programmed by society to love all that is gold!

[CottageRose]

It's a little better with some trees around it, to soften the effect. :)

Sorry for the postage stamp... Let me try cropping a little bit to focus on the immediate area. :)

So completing this baron quest was a "letdown" for me. I placed this golden obelisk and it's just a decoration....come on TL !!

[jimboser]

Maybe Thomas will uncover some ancient script that will turn this into some source of incredible power or wealth down the road? Please? ;)

Thomas has been quite useless of late, time to get the old fart back in the game. I think he's still mooching strawberries from my inventory when I'm not looking...

[ashleighncurrie]

Completed this... Now what? Nothing else to do. Hope this big update is coming soon.

[sobieski77]

So is the obelisk the end of the chain? Do we need it as a trigger? That's an awful lot of coins even if we do need it.

[vchanhs]

I bought another one. So 1m in total. Am I mad? But it looks better in pairs....lol

[lala_gabbana]

Im happy to see that Castle story is still getting updates. Too bad I quit playing after trying to get all those badges

[seascape9]

I did manage to make 2 obelisks! I had enough gold (not sure how that happened!), and started making the second before I finished the first! So. . . It is possible! I think they look kinda cool!

[AlexanderRex]

Gold nuggets - can these only come from the different mines? I picked through 10 iron rich rock piles and got none? Any suggestions please?

try again, I recommend you buying regular rocks unless you really need the iron ore, from my experiences, unless you using dark iron formations, the drop rate is pretty much the same

I don't get it.... Why craft a second obelisk for 499 995 gold plus 50 jewels when you can buy it for 500 000 gold? Jewels are so rare, i am sure 50 are worth much more than 5 gold.... Sigh...

[seascape9]

Honestly didn't even look at what everything costs, was just fixated on making another one! Plus I had all the materials.

Oh, ok, thought i was missing something....
Btw, now that you have 2, can you buy more? Is there a limit? Cos if endless, i guess it's a great feature to get rid of the extra gold at any point of the game.

[Cesar49]

I do think that the drop rate from the mines has increased since this challenge began. I only had 4 nuggets when it started - I get loads of golden eggs and apples, but not nuggets - and now I have 8, and only one of those has come from bashing rocks!

[hmgdanielson]

I still haven't made my omelette yet because I only had eight golden eggs when the quest came out. I've received none.

It's classify under the decoration tab so I think you can get many.

[angellahg]

I still havent received any nuggets, still only have 2. Ive been bashing all types of rocks and collecting from mines..nothing.

After making the initial one, it left my forge and now only appears in the marketplace under decorations. I like that we can buy more (without crafting) after completing the first one.

I also like that we had to go through the initial phase to get to where we could buy one. It makes the obelisk more valuable. (Thanks, TL. Good decision on that one.)

[adelinutza]

True, just finished the quest and bought another one. In the market, it looks still available, so now i will make a self-imposed goal of collecting gold, to buy more :)

[jjblueyes]

I had 5 eggs when I got this quest- I now have 7. I have a ton of chickens & 2 hatcheries. I collect every possible time I'm able. I have 16 gold nuggets. Still not sure if I will need 10 total or 60. Either way with these eggs dropping one a week or so it's gonna be another 3 weeks till I can make me an omelet!

You only need 10 gold nuggets. I have more eggs than nuggets and I wonder why since we need 3 nuggets and 2 eggs for golden trade. My proportion is not right.

[Cesar49]

Yes, it's funny how everyone gets different proportions of these things. I have 26 golden eggs (and that's after making the golden omelette) and 12 golden apples but have only got 8 nuggets. When the obelisk quest began I only had 4 nuggets, so they have started dropping more frequently but they have always been a very rare drop for me.

[jjblueyes]

It's so random! I've seen maybe 3 golden apples in all my days-& as I said the eggs are elusive. My omelet will get done when it gets done! Good luck fellow players!

[Oliver118]

It takes 50 Gold Nuggets for you to craft something that will never be useful. What a rip-off.

I have 3 Gold Nuggets, 2 Golden Eggs and 0 Golden Apples. The goals must be triggered by having Sir Pigglesworth, which I don't have
