Castle Story: 02/20/2014 Update The Blythewood Sapling Part 1

[rosym47]

While waiting for the next update I'm going to make apple pies for Agnes. She mentioned the missing apple pie lady in her letter so I'll take a chance on her asking for some. I'll also stock up on apples.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forums! I have a question. I haven't
Read of anyone finishing up yet and coming to the part of the goal where you're asked
(It's optional) to buy Griselda's fountain.. Is it worth it? Any drops?

For the person that commented on the "angry animations" lol that did make me laugh.
I feel for you as my phone crashes several times during play every time I play cs.
I do love the animations, perhaps if the arrows weren't animated it would help.

I've really enjoyed reading the update discussions in the last month or two
And just wanted to thank everyone for posting help and tips etc! And Ty tl!
I wish there were more goals in other tl games!

I've a new phone but afraid to move my games over :/

the fountain is a decoration and doesn't drop anything.

I wish stuff was smaller. I buy the second pergola and things because I love item producing buildings but when stuff is so big my kingdom just looks cluttered :/

I almost wish we could have a 1 square trade in for some of these items. If you have all the buildings it's so crowded.

[arikasi]

Finally finished the trade to send the letter to Agnes, but afterwards I was only able to buy one sapling.

[zoo123g]

while waiting for the letter to get to Agnes, im crafting as much as much apple pies, lemonade and orange cobblers as i can so i can start crafting gems :)

Now you can only get one sapling.

I wish we could get a preview the day before...

[deb9678]

I have been stuck on the "discover adamant" objective for a while due to lack of mithril. I have seen some posts that say it can be crafted but I don't have this option. Jewelers trade-no success, mining-no success, collect from jewelers building-no success, adventures such as the dark caves-no success.

Any other suggestions out there?

[hiopztj]

Thank you for all these wonderful Updates!

My Problem is, that I only have 5 Mythic Essence but I need 8. 5 to upgrade the Royal Maze Garden and 3 to build the Blythewood Sapling.
What do you consider doing first? It seems as if both Storys are going to be continued. My dragon doesn't drop a lot of scales, so it will take a few weeks to brew the 3 other essences...
Any ideas or previews for the next update?

I can save you a little bit of time. The jewler building will never give it to you. It only gives coins and occasional jewels. Keep doing the jeweler's trade though.

Jeweler's trade is your best bet, along with regular collection from your Deep Mines.

Seem development team fixed the 2nd sapling issue. Looking forward for the third part; and it is about time to release more expansion permit.

I can guarantee you'll need more for part 2 of the sapling questline. That sapling grows on the stuff. I just got the garden and aside from looking wicked, I don't really think it's giving me anything useful. I would save you potions for the sapling questline.

I collected mine from jeweler's trade. Got some every time.

Do you remember how many tries (roughly) it took to get it? I am 0-10 on jewelers trade. Feeling a bit frustrated that I am making zero progress.

There is no set amount of tries - it's random and different for everybody. Just keep trying!

There was a small glitch were members could purchase extra saplings from the market. This has now been fixed.

What is the purpose of this sapling tree?

Does it drop stuff, do you chop it down or is it just a decoration?

[MiniLaura]

The sapling will grow into a large tree. You can collect from it, so it is more than a decoration and cannot be chopped down.

[marrrina]

Is it just me or are manticore whiskers dropping less frequently now? I feel like I'll never get the mythic essences I need, esp. With so many goals lately requiring it

yeah that seems to happen when we need them most. i think they want us to spend money on gems. sighhh :(

[transberry]

My goals are done, but sapling still locked why

[tollerach]

Im looking forward to catching up to this quest after a long break. It looks like i need a few golden nuggets before i can unlock mythic essence and start it. I now wish i didnt use up my nuggets on the exchange. Ah well. All i can do now is cross my fingers and mine my brains out.

[glimmergate]

We don't lower droprates of items like that. I actually just raised the Manticore Whisker droprate the other day to compensate for the fact that we're asking for them more often. Keep collecting - you may have just run into a spot of bad luck :)

I really do want to believe that the drop rates aren't "adjusted" sometimes, but I have a hard time believing that when I've collected from my ponds and wells over 200 times yesterday and got 6 scales total. That's 3 percent, down from about 25 percent. I would love an explanation.

Any chance on increasing the drop rate for dragon scales? Maybe incorporating them as a reward for an adventure as well as mythic essence? Those two items have got me in a rut. I can't afford to buy another dragon and even so the scales are scarce. Maybe give everybody another dragon egg, especially to those that have been playing for quite some time.

Yay, thanks! I only have one manticore and he seems to be shedding his fur all the time while holding on tightly to his whiskers. One whisker a day is generous... Hoping I'll be able to make more mythic essence again soon.

[freesiawoods]

I have four adult manticores and it does seem the whisker drop rate has increased since a few days ago. I get roughly about two every collection.

I have not noticed any drop in mermaid scales drop rate even though I have no mermaid pond. Of course there are good and bad days.

I still got fur last night and this morning. Guess my manticore didn't get the memo of increased whisker drops. Or perhaps the poor thing just doesn't have any whiskers? He sure doesn't look like he has any.

[maz3girl]

Can someone help me with an issue to the Can't Fool The Ladies task? Admin? Someone?

I made the 5 Mythic Essences and upgraded the garden (I did not purchase any Mythic Essences with gems) but the Can't Fool the Ladies task did not complete and now I have to make 5 more. It took me weeks to get enough dragon scales to make the first 5. :(

3. Can't Fool The Ladies BREW 5x Mythic Essences

Sorry maz3gril, using the mythic essences to upgrade was not part of this goal.
what you craft in goals 3 & 4 will be required for goal 5

I know the goals were separate, but doesn't actually brewing all 5 of them (for whatever purpose) complete the Can't Fool The Ladies goal? Before I finished the last one, it showed that I had brewed 4, but when the last one was completed, the goal never finished. There is not a button to "give" them, it should just automatically find them when they are done, right?

[Dabag]

hi maz3girl

hi maz3girl

Not knowing the mechanics of the game, I think

That goal #3 is linked to goal #5 and when you used the mythic essence for the garden instead of letting it remain in your inventory until goal 5 goal; #3 was incomplete. To do both would have required 10 mythic essences in you inventory.

sorry, you are going to have to craft them again

[jessicattt]

There should definitely be another way of getting manticore whiskers since we need to make so many of the mythic essence. It's taking me almost a week to collect 10 whiskers. Please give us another way of collecting them for this task.

If mythic essence is going to become a thing, I agree with you. My whiskers have not recovered from that goal, and it's been several weeks.

[jerirat]

It took me almost a week to craft the first batch of mythic essence for the Ladies task. It's been another week and I have 4 of 5 mythic essences to send with the letter to Agnes. The only reason I have 4 is because one dropped from the St Patrick's Day pot.

I have two manticore (purchased the second one just for the Blythewood Sapling quest) and collect approximately 3 times a day. I'm waiting on the 8 more whiskers so I can craft the last Mythic essence. The collection rates may have been increased but they're still not enough.

Lots of us only have one Manty, so the drop rate is very sloooow. I guess that's what this game is about, huh? Still, it would be great to up the drop rate for whiskers or Manty eggs.

[Castloninian]

Droprate for whiskers must have improved because I now have the 5th mythic essence for my garden and it hasn't taken as long as before. But they are hard to build up again.

[jessicattt]

Have they speeded up the manticore collection time? I seem to be collecting a lot more often.

Nope, just collected from mine and checked the timer. Still 6 hours. Cheers
