View Full Version : Sunstone "Fess up your count" discussion

Okay - I can get a little obsessive so I wanted to start a thread where everyone can post their sunstone count as this (in my opinion) awesome event plays out.

Also, in the Pyre Festival thread it seems as if many members are worried they won't be able to collect enough to make expending their energy etc., worth it. If we all post our sunstone totals periodically maybe it will inspire the rest of the community to work on the event to expand our total community sunstone count to reach the community prizes. Honestly, I don't care what we get, what it's worth in the long run, or whether things will just get put into storage - this game allows me to retreat periodically throughout the day to escape my life stressors :o

Of course I'll go first - at 22 hours into the event my sunstone count is:

791

....and let me repeat I have a tendency to be a little OCD and obsessive LOL but whatever this game is fun even for a old chick like me.

Oh my goodness, that is amazing! In 23 hrs I have 180! How did you get so many??

Lots of rock outcroppings- it seems as if every time I buy one and start clearing it a troll pops up every two to three taps. I have also upgraded my pyre tent to level 6. At every opportunity I make energy through the exchange or my greenhouse and collect energy from the wizard school. I have probably made at least 20 in my workshops as well.

530, that's with the assistance of a few alicorns. I'm past the point of getting trolls. I've had some boars but at 8 hits, I don't often get my energy back.

Wow, you're still getting trolls! Cool. I'm at 251 but my quest was stuck out in the Plume Hive so no help there. Also the rocks are hating me today (though they cooperated yesterday).

I'm at 361. I didn't figure out about the faerie quest not giving any until I had already sent it out again, but barracks knights are on regular type. So in 2 days, I should get 2 good adventure returns! I also have lots of Dragons, which ALL gave me stones, and lots of Manticores which gave about 50% stones. 16 Mantys=8 Stones more or less. I've been using the rock outcropping lots, also. It gives sunstones, generates beasts, and provides raw materials for making stones in workshop. I also am bummed the valentine items don't count, so pink skunkupines are no good. I've got all pink chickens out, cause they always spawn pink skunkupines, and it's a good source for rat tails. Oh well.
I think they should add a NEW TRADE in exchange that gives sunstones also!
Good Luck everyone! ;) Annie

I have 255 so far, what does it mean in the info #3 travel to distant lands for sun stones? I have visited many,many other players in my community and not gotten 1 sun stone. Would like to get that clarified, thank for any help

OK. I will admit it. I'm a crazy fool for my CS kingdom. :) I gemmed through most of the tent upgrades, hoping each time it would get better. (Then I hid it out on the border behind trees.) Since then I have focused exclusively on sunstones, with the help of my now-depleted inventory, mythical beasts, crafting sunstones (and more silver), trips to the vault, and endless rock bashing... 3,607 glowing sunstones and counting. Am I the only one who wishes I could have just 1 or 2 sunstones in inventory to enjoy looking at them as souvenirs after the festival is over?

Crossing fingers that I am not the only CS nut, as I would love to build a larger faerie garden around that sundial community prize.

Some adventures but not all will return multiple sunstones. You can get them by going to the Ancient Vaults, Dark Caves, Bandits or Burning Sands. :)

I think that something is wrong. I had 82 stones, and I was supposed to collect 100 from the tent but instead my total is now 100. It only gave me credit for 18 stones instead of 100. Has anyone else had this problem with not getting credit for enough stones?

Sorry for the confusion but the hundred is coins not sunstones. The tent does drop sunstones (much smaller amounts the 100) the number is determined by the level. It can also drop the flame flags and braziers

Sometimes your internet connection is down, in my case it happens if my wifi plays up. The game lets you play for a while, bc normally the connection fixes itself, reports to the server and everything gets registered.

However, if your game refreshes and there is still no internet connection, then you lost everything you acquired while being offline. Can be very frustrating, but the game will only save the informations it sent to the server.

Hope that explains it :)

Wow I feel like such a slacker. I decided to continue working on the Glimmergater quest part I am on, and continue making lots of food for adventures and stuff, rather than drop everything and only try for sun stones. And so I have only gotten 290 stones so far. But keeping this rate up should get me the 4th goal by the end. :)

I have 534 stones and level 4 tent and I haven't used any gems to help me progress. I'm very lucky that I have seven alcorns (I can colect from them evey day), five dragons and four mantycorns it is to bad that I have five egg mantycorns in my inventory (didn't think they would be needed).

To those that don't have regual alcorns I'm sorry that you can't craft them that is how i have gotten all mine. I would love to have a valentine themed CS like the first one where we got the loveshack, so that everyone could be able to craft them. I thought it was really fun and would love to expeience that again.

08-09-14, 03:59 PM
I've chopped stone outcropping after stone outcropping. I have my workshop churning out stones a often as possible. I've checked in at the tent every time I can during my awake hours. My manticorns and alicorns have been visited so much lately that they're tired of seeing me. With all that said I have reached 672 sun stones so far without spending a single purple gem. I won't be able to keep up this pace during the week but I'll do what I can. :)

Mine is going slowly for some reason, though I'm spending nearly all my energy on searching for stones. Rock Outcroppings are giving 2-4 stones for 20 chops; a boar only gave me 2; but my 4 dragons gave me 17 altogether. And of course I'm out of silver and jewels from crafting them. It just seems... slow. Maybe I'm used to collecting bunches in DS from the farms. I'm at 581.

It seems to range from 250-300 per day on average, with more for psycho players. I'm up to 650 now, but had a couple alicorns today. Your total doesn't seem slow to me! I think it will pick up as we upgrade the tent.

678. Used a few gems to get tent to lvl 6, now waiting for flags an braziers. Mainly smashing rocks, which has the nice side effect of giving me enough coal to make whisps for lanterns, so I can expand more. I am also continuing with my other quests and cooking my heart out for adventure supplies. Need to save up silver for other things, so I have stopped making stones in the workshops.

I have a tip that has worked for me. I bought 4 big rocks at a time (arrgh the space). When I chop if I don't get a stone with every third chop, I quick hit edit. Then I go to the next one. Repeat the process until I like what it's giving me. Some times if I let it sit for a few hours it pays better. Perhaps I am crazy but I have over a thousand!

***nysmom - rock outcroppings have been good to me as well and I think my count now 1248. I was able to upgrade my Pyre tent to level 7 last night and now am getting about 24 sun stones from that as well. Also, trolls have a crush on me lately and battling them have given me quite a bit of sun stones. I can't even collect from my mushrooms in search of glimmerdust without spawning a troll!

Only on tent level 4, need 4 flags and 2 braziers. Sunstone only 327. Only can play on wifi, been traveling with no wifi. Only play a couple times a day so this is likely un reachable for me sadly. No monsters coming, out of resources to craft with, just chop rocks with little success.

4,009... I've slowed down after exhausting my inventory of silver and jewels, as well as the iron and coal to craft more. I've settled into mining, mythical beasts, the tent and mostly bashing rock outcroppings. Hearts are scarce in my kingdom, and in most of my neighbors as we all chase Sun Stones. :)

I have 830 sunstones. I'm still working on Sister, Sister with the glimmer rock fortune so not devoting too much of my energy on the event since I don't decorate. Only chopping up rock outcroppings about once a day and using those stones to make more sunstones/coal to make more jewels/iron to make more silver. Glad to get rid of the rocks that have been taking up space in my kingdom since the last expansion, since previously I was always maxed on stone and didn't want to waste energy just to clear land. Now I just need an event that consumes wood nonstop so I can get rid of the trees. :P

99% of these events I work so hard. I spend the few gems/gold ghat I can to help.

You have no reason to feel bad at all, and certainly no apologies required! 500 is no small feat! We are all in this together.... To quote my favourite quote, 'not equal giving, equal sacrifice'. Every stone helps, but real life and the most significant life events you find yourself in are much much more important than chopping rocks. Be a great mum first! xxx

Exactly! This is about fun...not doing your part. My feeling on this game is it is for our leisure time and when our real life responsibilities are completed. I play on my "breaks" as in when I need to sit my butt down and rest a minute. When I mention I am obsessive that just means when I do something I give it my all - in the end it'd just virtual stuff that outs a smile on my face :o

CottageRose
08-11-14, 12:52 PM
This is about having fun together, not about obligation. If you can do the individual goals, then every sunstone after that is one more for our collective effort. This is about community, which is a nice change of pace.

Instead of a long taxing goal that you have to do all by yourself, like Sister, Sister and the inscriptions, we can work on this as a worldwide goal, and enjoy our CS community festival around the world. And when the festival ends, we will have some souvenirs to remember this unique event!

Okay, so that is incorrect. I'm not so slow then, lol. Thanks!

Today I join your ranks as one among you eligible for the Community Prizes at 687 Sun Stones. It's been kind of slow going but there is only so much I can do:
Dragons = 0
Manticore = 1
Mines = 2
I still collect from buildings and such because well anything really could spawn a monster. I've been crafting stones when I have jewels or silver and crafting jewels and silver and busting up rocks like mad. I should easily get the cage with 14 days left but it may be a challenge to get the next to last individual prize. I probably won't get to that last one but this has been fun.

I feel so bad. I haven't had the real time to put into this event ��
I only have 517. Things have been so busy. I have 3 kids going back to school, one starting school for the first time
And my oldest starting high school. We live pay check to paycheck but had no choice but to go into more debt to get my hubby a car for work as they changed his hrs and he has to be at work the same time the kids have school.

99% of these events I work so hard. I spend the few gems/gold ghat I can to help.
I feel so bad after reading here and seeing I haven't done my part. I will do better the rest of this event as I can.
I have so many meeting coming up this week I so so sorry ��

Don't worry, Cottage Rose has done your community share for you! ;)
Seriously though, it's a game, and life gets tough sometimes. Life takes precedence. Hope everything works out and calms down for you soon. If you can get to 650, you get all community prizes. And there is still lots of time to go! Hang in there. Best wishes for you & your family! :) Annie <3

I don't know and have asked the same question somewhere. Hoping to find answer soon so I can at least try and calculate how many rocks to crop each day.

In the magic forge. I am producing like hell silver. Jewels is no issue, plenty of sources. You need the knowledge shards for the alchemy receipt.

I'm not really getting bored with it so much. It's still a change of pace from regular day-to-day game play. But I got my 3rd prize earlier today, and I would've been a lot more interested if it wasn't coins I don't need, wisp laterns I could easily forge and a piddily amount of gems. I'm sitting at 2,382 now.

Thank you for your positive attitude! I've enjoyed this event, too, despite the unhappy players. I found a use for my sun tiles, and even though the next gift I'm mostly maxed out on that stuff, I don't care. It's all free stuff anyway.

If TL makes a complicated update, the lower level players are unhappy. If they make an update to include everyone, the higher level players are unhappy. What are they supposed to do? They can't please everyone so they do the best they can.

We could have serious problems, like Ebola or something. Let's try to be a bit more positive, can we? All this griping is harshing my mellow, dude (she gripes, lol). :cool:

To draw the attention of TL to their miscalculations is not a negative attitude in my humble opinion, and no nothing is free, there's Energy spent to get the sun stones hence the prizes or decoration items are already paid for :)

I wonder how the lower levels are goung to finish Griselda's tent though! In 11 days!
At least we higher levels we had some dark seeds in stock, which are now depleted, ( at least for me ) but those who are still working on Sister sister won't like it at all, I suppose.

The pesky tent should give items when all is done, otherwise many will put it in storage, including me, if it is useless, what this decoration is going to do for lower levels? !

Why every event until now had buildings dropping items except this one?! The Gazebo, Kingdom Inn, Pergola, Reindeer Etc...

Yes TL cannot please everyone, that is absolutely true, but they could have made the event less tedious and more motivating, let alone useful.

I use the Rock Outcropping (2,200 coins in the market) - out of 20 chops, I get around one stone every 3-4 chops. I buy them two at a time and pretty much chop all day long. I also craft stones in the work shop using however much jewels & silver I can (I also make silver & jewels in the forge using the material from the rocks). I tap my Manticores (2) and dragons (4 total) every chance I get. I stay on top of the tent collection (24 every 4 hours). On top of all that, I've been doing the old school adventures which also give stones.

Whew; think I'm an addicted player? Yeah I am! :)

Just reached 3200. So pleased with myself. In one day I got both my final individual prize and the second community prize. Roll on third and final community prize :) we can do it everyone :)

I use the Rock Outcropping (2,200 coins in the market) - out of 20 chops, I get around one stone every 3-4 chops. I buy them two at a time and pretty much chop all day long. I also craft stones in the work shop using however much jewels & silver I can (I also make silver & jewels in the forge using the material from the rocks). I tap my Manticores (2) and dragons (4 total) every chance I get. I stay on top of the tent collection (24 every 4 hours). On top of all that, I've been doing the old school adventures which also give stones.

Whew; think I'm an addicted player? Yeah I am! :)

Thanks for the advice! I just finished getting 3200 sunstones. :) I'll still chop on rocks until we finish the last community goal, then it's back to normal playing.
