Hey all, just a heads' up that there will be a St Patrick's Day event starting tomorrow, 11th March :)

Edit(KP): You will need to be on at least level 30 to get this Event. Also it's IOS only :(

You can continue upgrading your Pot of Gold after the event. If you can find anyone selling Dyes, you can get them from the Side Shop. Otherwise, you can always purchase the remaining Dyes with Gems. Good luck! :)

Hey there! :) You should all be able to store the Pot of Gold. Please let us know if you can't!





Edit:
Event has now started!

You have to buy the pot of gold (400g) which takes 10 minutes to build and the dye maker (5000g) which takes 30mins to build.
The dye maker is use to craft red dye which can then be used to upgrade the pot of gold.

A fully upgraded pot of gold will be a permanent source of gold ore (as from the mining):
19027

Colour dyes required to upgrade the pot of gold:

6 red dye: 1 ruby, 8 apples each. Take 30 minutes each.
5 Orange dye: 10 oranges and 5 honey. Take 1 hour each.
4 yellow dye: 4 citrus juice, 1 gold. Take 2 hours each.
3 Green dye: 3 salads, 3 green juice. Take 3 hours each.
2 blue dye: 6 iron, 6 anchovies. Take 4 hours each.
1 purple dye: 6 linen flowers, 2 paint. Takes 5 hours to make.

Totals needed:
Red: 6 rubies, 48 apples
Orange: 50 oranges, 25 honey
Yellow: 16 citrus juice, 4 gold
Green: 9 salads, 9 green juice
Blue: 12 iron, 12 anchovies
Purple: 6 linen flowers, 2 paint

Prizes:
2 Leprechaun hats - after completion of the red dye quest
2 Light posts - after completion of the blue dye quest
1 Horseshoe -

And, of course, your pot!

After completion it takes 2 days for the pot to generate 1 gold ore:

Okay, pot of gold, after completed, gave me 5 experience stars and 1 gold. I spent the gems to speed it up, so everyone could know what it gives. 2 days between drops.

Also please note:

I ended up with an extra red dye and can't sell it. So don't make extra!

Thanks for the info guys, I'll try to keep this updated but I haven't gotten as far as you!

6 red dye- 1 ruby and 8 apples per red dye
Total needed 6 red rubies 48 apples

5 orange dye- 10 oranges 5 honey per orange dye
Total needed 50 oranges 25 honey

4 yellow dyes- 4 lemonade 1 gold per yellow dye.
Total needed 16 lemonade 4 gold

3 green dye- 3 salads 3 green juice per green dye
Total needed 9 salads 9 green juice

2 blue dye- 6 iron 6 anchovies per blue dye
Total needed 12 iron 12 anchovies

1 purple dye - 6 craft flowers and 2 paints

Team Lava has given a prize that gives forever.
(though hard to obtain for players that do not hoard.)
This pot of gold is going to give a gold ore every two days or fifteen per month forever.
At last a prize I do not have to feed and an item that saves me at least thirty pickaxes a month digging for gold in the mine. Tip my Irish hat to the storm team for coming up with such an innovative idea.

Here we go again. Do hope they have an animated leprechaun lookout this year like they did last year!

Was last year's St Pat event as short as this one? Looks like this one might will only be 6 days

Dragon story event just started and it has a fourteen day timer.
Fantasy story event just started with a 21 day timer.
I think last years leprechaun event had a ten day timer but don't remember for sure.
Hard to say until tomorrow at 5:30 pm eastern time what Team Lava has in store for us.
I have last years leprechaun lookout displayed.
We could also purchase an animated Irish springs last year.

The goal says to use red dye from the dye machine you need to purchase. Both my dye machine and pot of gold are under construction so I won't know for sure for about 1/2 hour.

What does Orange dye require? I had two rubies so Im making the red dye. I'll stock up on lemonade but don't have any gold. I used 8 tools trying to find a ruby and only got metal. Gonna be a long thing. But seems fun. I could use a constant gold giving situation. But with the resources needed it'll be complicated.

No complaints here. But these last goals have been overly difficult. This, the Chinese new year and Valentine one.

03-11-15, 03:31 PM
Ok Im officially pissed that they are making an event that is limited to the level you happened to be. Since I cant get lemonade or green juice I guess Im out of this event.

First time that I see an event being limited to just some people in a game.

Dude! That's so over the top. This thing, if I filly upgrade it, better not end up giving us one gold per day. That would suck big time.

And I bet for the other prizes we will have to hand over additional dyes to someone.

Can't you buy the pot and building at least? You can then buy the things needed from the stand. IF it isn't limited to level that is.

I've been saving my axes and shovels expecting we would have to go mining. Good thing I did--it took 9 axes to get ONE ruby. Don't see how this is going to get done any time soon with the usual rate of finding rubies. I did find two gold nuggets, which I'll set aside (thank you to those going ahead).

Well seeing as this needs honey to make dye and you cant get honey until at least level 30, Im gonna guess anyone under that is gonna be left out of this event.

Very Frustrating event. I cant add more slots to the dye machine. I am level 38. and i spent 15 Mining Tools without getting a Ruby.

So we put in all this effort for 1 gold every couple of days? and this pot will have to be out on my farm permanently to do this?
I don't think I am ever short of gold so am not sure if it is worth it for me. But at least TL have thought of something different with a useful end result (for some).

Please can someone clarify what 2 days means once collecting gold. Pear trees say 2 days after collection and I am sure that they crop every 36 hours. The timers in this game can be misleading.

I loved the way we could all help each other during the last 2 events(maybe more but ive only been here for 2), they tried to stop us last time too though by stopping us crafting after we'd finished our own goals but we found a way around that so now theyve made it harder, all we can do now is sell the crafting items i guess

For those that were asking, the Orange Dye takes 1 hour to make.

For those that have already completed the tasks, does the amount of time to make each item increase as we go along? Red Dye was 30 minutes, Orange is an hour, does the rest increase by 1/2 hour increments?

Another event which needs a mining event to work properly to get the start one needs to get a start that will result in a return for your effort. HOWEVER, the mining game is flawed and does not operate as we have been told it should work! They know that this part of the game is not operating as it should and "they are working" on it ( for weeks, perhaps months now) with no fix for their faulty programming. But they tell me that their is a ticket in for repair. If the truffles works well, I would think that they could make the mine work just as well as Daisy does for me! But then we would be more successful at mining and we would maybe enjoy our virtual farm too much if all went too well for us. They do control the drop rate for rubies which are not to be found at the normal rate found, mining is actually better than normal, except for rubies, so I expect that distracts the player from the flaws in the mining part of the game and the low drop level of the now almighty ruby! But being a chemist, apples and rubies to make a red dye is a stretch to start with and is only make believe. I think that our native forefathers used berries and vegetables to make red dyes! Rubies even if feasible would have been too costly and only available to those native Americans in mountainous regions....but that makes too much sense....like using wool for candle wicks in lieu of cotton. Is it too much to make the game more realistic? Or at least allow our creative juices to flow. If the effort to make the game more realistic in terms of common sense pathways, formulas, timeframes, etc... I would be spending my hard earned $$$s to buy gems....but not willing to gamble on acknowledged flawed programming and poorly designed portions of the game where, for example, we build a lure too big to catch the anchovies, but invest materials and time to build a lure to catch an anchovie. The storm 8 team said there is a bit of randomness to fishing. I can agree to some of that theory, but have not seen a minnow get hooked on the lure which catches salmon and tuna....large fish I can buy into....but a hook used for bass, etc...does not catch minnows! Those anglers would soon go broke in the real world....but I guess that is our gems/coins being tossed away, making the player feel less than intelligent for using his resources to make such a poor financial (and game) decision (as we are playing to use our ability to reason and be rewarded for good decisions) otherwise, if it is just a roll of the dice....we could go that route and play the slots game we keep getting pushed to play....in that case it is luck and the odds are what ever they are as set by the programmer. Don't get me wrong I enjoy this game, but level the playing field, correct known flaws before making them central to an event have it make some sort of sence so that life experiences can be used or maybe even learned.

Working together and crafting or collocting items to sell to others to help them out - team work - was what made this game rewarding. Their greed will be their demise some day.

While other game makers spend time having their programmers work on content to make the game more fun for the players, TL appears to utilize their programmers to make it more difficult to attain your goals without spending tons of money.

The last 2 quests have turned me off to this company. Deleting all Storm8 games from my devices.

Im not gonna even bother to begin this goal, because its getting ridiculous !!!!!

the past few months EVERY goal is very very hard to win and most of them force you to give gems (of course buy them with real money).

Im very tired with this.

Also, for the past 3 days I keep sending deliveries and there is noo map at all!!!! Cant even imagine to go to the mine and keep searching the diamond.. We couldn't find it the other days, now we will find it??????

03-12-15, 01:48 AM
Just started crafting the orange dyes, seem like it will take me awhile as I ran out of honey. =.=" But I'm glad we don't have to send out deliveries like some mad women for the upgrade parts. I noticed there's a hat decoration reward at the 2nd goal. So I assumed if you want the decoration, you gotta complete the quests. Gonna see if I can fully upgrade the darn pot, since I like the rainbow. I didn't even manage to get one leprechaun hideout, despite trying my very best! :(

So we won't be able to help out one another anymore. Given how they disabled the ability to sell the dyes, and you can't craft the previous dye once you completed it. I won't be surprised if they're going to make things more difficult for us for future event. Level requirement got higher, so what's next? :rolleyes:

Btw, thanks sloebear and judyandthecat for the detailed information! :o

That's exactly why they have done it. They want people completing these tasks using gems that's why they make them practically impossible to do without. Players helping players is not good for their business.

I have got no idea why they have made this event only accessible to such a high level but I am going to take a guess here that we are still due a proper community event and we may get one just as this one finishes, in time for Easter.


So for those who can't particpate, keep stocking up on mining tools and keep some stock of gold, iron and rubies in your barn, just in case we ever need them again.

ciarjen
03-12-15, 02:42 AM
I have just used 43 mining tools just to get 1 ruby !!!



That is an appallingly low drop rate. Fortunately I bought a couple of rubies yesterday thinking we may need them like we did for crafting the Chinese dragon. Usually I sell all the ones I get to keep them out of the barn.


I don't know how anyone can complete this goal if they don't have a starting stock of rubies. I suppose the one things we can learn about all of this is that we need to be hoarders of difficult to find items if we want to complete events.

To Sloebear,

The upgrade box still says we get parts from deliveries, they've not fixed it yet - please can you add in first post that this is incorrect and that deliveries do not drop anything.

This is seriously bad! Of course it is to make people buy honey. I suppose they think players will panic if they cannot make a good start to the event and buy supplies.

It is cheaper in gems to buy the dye rather than the honey. Plus you will be saving crafting time.

I need 20 more for the orange dye but won't panic as I have everything for the later dyes.

This pot of gold is going to give a gold ore every two days or fifteen per month forever.
At last a prize I do not have to feed and an item that saves me at least thirty pickaxes a month digging for gold in the mine. Tip my Irish hat to the storm team for coming up with such an innovative idea.

Agreed judyandthecat. I first thought this would be impossible as I only had two rubies. I finished those two red dyes, spent 112 diamonds (45 of which TL has given us through goals since the Christmas event) for the remaining four, and am on my way toward the others. Gold has always been scarce, so this will be a great gift.

No you only get them from the dye machine. Though you need pickaxes from deliveries for the mine.


Sorry for the confusion, everyone! To upgrade your pot of gold, you will need to get the upgrade materials from the Dye Machine. You will not receive dyes from deliveries.

queentina3

Im guessing you cant buy cos your hive is upgraded. This is a known issue in bugs thread. You can buy honey at level 30 with a normal hive. Once upgraded, you need to be at level 35. Tl hasn't fix this yet. Sorry hun. :(

If you are going to use gems, don't buy honey. Use the gems to buy the finish dye instead.


But you shouldn't need to with honey. Just keep an eye on the newspaper all the time, not just as the 5 minute refresh. I managed to get 17 of them in a few hours this morning.

They are sold regularly. I sell honey myself every day normally.

I know! There's no way! And of course we won't find any in the news because now they are even more rare of a find than usual. They really need to have Stormie sell the things we actually need more often. His shop should refresh like every hour or more. And have useful tools and parts instead of crops.

I've been selling everything but Iron and Paint (I have 11 Iron and 0 Paint) in my shop to help those that are still trying to get items for these goals.

If I ended up getting more Iron then I'll do the same with that but it isn't looking likely as I'm getting more silver and coins when I go digging. *sighs*

I've been selling everything but Iron and Paint (I have 11 Iron and 0 Paint) in my shop to help those that are still trying to get items for these goals. Whenever I get a gold or ruby I immediately put it in an empty slot. If I ended up getting more Iron then I'll do the same with that but it isn't looking likely as I'm getting more silver and coins when I go digging. *sighs*


Rubies and gold have been needed for the last 2 events.

Iron has been needed for the last 3 events.


I would not be surprised to see another event start straight after this one in time for Easter and I also would not be surprised if we need iron, rubies, gold and mining tools again.

Spent gems to buy the rubies I needed and should be okay for the other items (even have enough gold) but it's the honey (or lack of) which is making me frustrated. Don't really want to buy gems to purchase the honey but may have to resort to this.

Could you please share WHERE are you buying rubies for gems????? Thanks!

Tap on the rainbow pot and tap on upgrade. Use gems to buy the dye to complete the upgrade.

It's usually more efficient and cheaper to spend gems on the finished product (dye) via the upgrade button rather than buy the component (ruby) when you are putting it in to craft.

It''s always worth doing the math. Very often we have people caught out spending gems on the wrong thing because they didn't realise there was more than one way to complete it with gems.


Doing it via the upgrade box also saves the craft time and that may really help with this timed event.

Yeah, it stinks honestly. I didn't bother with the Chinese year event - opted out as too stressful and I was sick with the flu, didn't need the added pressure. LOL

I just mined again and got 200 coins and a gold so sold the gold, but still cannot get that last iron I need. It is being stubborn! I really don't want to have to use gems to skip one iron considering I'm probably going to have to use them to skip the 2 paints I'm missing. I rarely see paint. :(

okay really REALLY TL or Storm 8 or whoever! WE need to be able to actually trade with people without others snatching up the items. You HAVE to fix this! I had a very kind friend who doesn't play anymore try to sell me 3 rubies and I only got 1 and lost many many mining tools because of the horrible lag and others getting to the items way way before they ever even SHOW UP for me in her store. Come on.

Just a tip...if your friend force closes the game right after putting them up for sale and you do too chances are you will be the first to see the goods in the store...

I haven't tried that method. I swear I've tried everything else in the book! Restart beforehand, and so do they but not right after putting them up. I restarted since they weren't showing up but by the time i got back to her shop they cleaned out.

I've looked at the list of materials needed, and with the drop rate for tools and rubies on the rare occasion I get a tool, I'm not bothering to play their game.

I made one red dye yesterday and haven't been able to make any since. I'll be putting parts and finished products in my shop as often as I can for others to use. Right now I have juices and lemons in there. Keep checking.

Altruism must be DEAD!!!! I need to vent. I'm sorry for being paranoid........BUT........during an event that needs certain items, I would think that people who arn't participating, like I was on the first day, would sell these sought after items in their stores. For instance, on the first day, I sold ALL 6 of my gold nuggets, and 7 irons, oranges, lemons, lemonade, salads, honey, apples, green juice, and craft flowers, to help out participating players.

This morning after finding out that I could buy Rubies for gems, I started playing.

I spent a good part of the evening collecting ingredients needed. What irked me was seeing so many people selling chocolate covered oranges, and ruby necklaces. Also people selling lemonade, and green juice at ultra high prices.

Granted not everyone who plays this game is at the proper level to participate, and/or is a member of this forum.
But NAIVE me just thought people would help each other out.

This is ridiculous. First, mining rubies is hard enough. Now I haven't gotten a single shovel or pick ever since the event started...while I was getting a lot once the Chinese New Year's event ended. Got a lot of saws, though, for all the good they do me.

TL, I accept that the event can't be too easy...but making it too difficult is more likely to drive players away than to keep them playing.

I try to help as much as possible too but I have to disagree with you on the ultra high prices thing...in order to help my neighbors and others out I've depleted all my funds. At the moment I have 2076 coins in the bank, so yes the stuff im selling is at the maximum. Not only because I need the coins but many times because I see stuff in the newspaper and snatch it up for my neighbors at maximum price.

People who help out others shouldn't have to do so at a loss is all im saying. And on a side note perhaps those selling chocolate covered oranges etc....had them already before this event and are now selling them in order to make some money to buy needed items 😊

Try to wax on wax off and not jump to the worst conclusion and enjoy the game...

If you need help add me i need 1 more honey to get to the next step and any rubies, iron, honey, etc I find will be sold to those requesting.

I would say there is a 90% chance of it being successful using this method. That's my guess anyway.



I haven't tried that method. I swear I've tried everything else in the book! Restart beforehand, and so do they but not right after putting them up. I restarted since they weren't showing up but by the time i got back to her shop they cleaned out.

When I was selling to you in the last event and you got most of the items, after every item I put up for sale, I tapped the red cross to close the shop box. Then force closed the game and waited 30 seconds before re-opening. It's a pain but it works.

Doing it this way the item is usually instantly visible to the buyer. If the seller does not force close it is just luck if the buyer can see it. Very often they will never see the item and it will get grabbed by someone who can.


In summary for trading -

Both buyer and seller force close their games before beginning.

When buyer is waiting at seller's farm, seller puts item up for sale.

Seller closes shop box, then force closes their game and waits 30 seconds before loading again.

In the meantime buyer opens and closes the seller's shop repeatedly until the item appears.

By the time the seller is back onto their game the item should be sold and they can repeat the process again if they have more to trade.

I don't think the prices that people are selling at are relevant. The fact that they are selling is helping out those who need them. The profit above the cost of the ingredients even sold at max price is minimal anyway.


But really I would say the vast majority of players are either not participating or not past the first goal or two so have no idea what requirements are needed next. We are just lucky here on the forum that someone has used gems to speed through and warn others about what is needed.


I'm all for helping other people and I do what I can. I very often will buy everything in someone's shop who can't sell, only to reduce the price myself to get rid of it but it is also worth looking longer term.

I've said it twice already in this thread but it may be worth saying again considering you have just sold your gold and iron - this is not a proper event which is open to all players so do not be surprised if we see one soon and it could happen immediately after this one......and I mean like next week.

The last two events have needed rubies and gold and the last three events have needed iron.

Make sure you have these to be ahead of the game for the next event. If you are, you are more likely to be able to help others then.

Very sad drop rates for early needed items - went thru 30 picks/shovels mining for only 2 rubies + 28 silver, 16 iron, 10 gold, 1 nail , 1 shovel - deliveries a bit better but only for tools - 3 tools from 15 deliveries - pets only dropping coins now - so have used jewels for 2 of 5 red dyes so far, if no ruby in 30 minutes will use jewels for last ruby/red dye build. Have been stalking shops/newspapers for 2 days and have seen zero rubies.
