I have started requesting Letters of Recommendation and 10 neighbors have sent them but, they are not showing up in my counter. Any advice or is this happening to anyone else?

Try closing out and reopening. They usually appear then for me.

Good to know! Thanks :) I hope they intentionally spent the gems and didn't fall into a trap. ;)



An awesome neighbor of mine posted the Monster Mash-Up on my wall (for the Seal of Bravery).
I'm not there yet (just got my Temperance Seal and now onto Chivalry Seal).
But here's what she posted, to give the rest of you a head's up... :)

10 Visits to the Jousting Arena
150 Monster ****s
150 Mystery Paws (come from the fights) ... Assuming these are "given", like the horse feed.

Awe, I'm sad with u. When it comes to horses, I get it. Have u calculated how many days u still may need to fulfill the requirements?

I am not sure how to do that. I just finished "I scream for icecream"

My ID here is actually for my backup game that's only on level 15 and I'm not really playing except to send myself gifts :) I'm on the forum with this ID though because my main game ID is an actual password (oops!) so I'm not making it public. I sent you the invite from my main game (I'm called Timewaster... Maybe trying to remind myself that I should be paying bills and cleaning my actual house rather than spending coins on building new farm houses!) which it looks like you accepted :)

"Resume Building" and "They Did The Monster Mash" aren't showing up in the post, SW. They just say "attachment". I can right click on them and open them in a new tab, but others may not be able to do that. Figured I'd let you know that the actual picture isn't attaching to the post like the previous two.

The horse picture isn't showing up either, just says "attachment".

Yes, it's annoying. Every other building with flags, you can rotate it any way you want and the flags blow in the same direction.

So since the number of paws needed is the same as the number of battles, is it reasonable to guess that each battle will drop one paw? Or perhaps not all drop paws, but some drop multiple paws?

Lmao, hey you're getting a good deal! Hahaha 28% would be 114.8. Lol
I don't like their percentages anyway. Last night I was giving 1 corn at a time until it changed to 95%. 5% of 500 should be 25, so I planted exactly 25 so I could plant strawberries on the rest. I wasn't just one short, I was 2 short. Doesn't make sense to me.

Hi.
Any mods know if the horses are available to buy after? It seems an impossible task for those of us who work full time!
Plus it just took me three weeks to get my 75 for the wig for Ivy so If I have to have help from 100 neighbours then I may as well give up now!

Maybe you should change your neighbours, or at least check they are still active....3 weeks to get 75 responses is, well, disgraceful. Really, it should only take 3 days, maximum to 4/5.

The Jousting Goals are linked to the Story Outline Guide in post 2 if you need them.
A link to the current ADD ME forum is also in post 2.

As for the level of the Arena, the goal 'The First Match' is just before you're asked to upgrade the Arena to level 2. So, if you have a level 2 then you should be good to go.

I totally agree with this post! I too work full time with long hours in the next 2 weeks. The last timed world event I worked hard at and was only able to get 3 out of the 5 individual prizes on both my accounts! Because of this I have sworn off timed events based on random drops. Sorry Storm 8, I will not again participate in goals where I feel you set us up to fail.

I am doing ok on the harvesting, but am struggling with the horse feed. What did I miss that others are doing to get through the first part?

tuffyjkitten
04-18-15, 05:01 AM
The horse feed was the hardest part I think. I still needed quite a bit after I was done harvesting but I threw more strawberries in so I could do some energy trades at the exchange. Now it's waiting for neighbors. I don't like the 20 responses per day part of that, especially during a timed event. I bought a bunch of farmhouses since they have a 10 min timer. Now instead of a sea of conservatories I have a sea of houses, lol!

Like you I want to know how this math works. First of all I thought I was maxed on carrots...NOT!! I had 53! So I planted 20 on Thursday afternoon. 53 + 20 = 73...right?! Then why am I at 45% complete of 100?

04-18-15, 05:50 AM
I've collected all the crops I need on both accounts, now just working on bags of feed. Making sundaes and doing energy trades with the extra strawberries.

On my main account, I've harvested over 250 extra crops just for feed but I still need 15 more feed.

On my other account, I've collected an extra 165 crops and still need 54 feed.

I've been lucky that I'm able to check into my accounts frequently. Don't know how people can complete these goals if they have limited access. I'm sort of glad my kids stopped playing CS because right now I'd probably be yelling at them to stop doing homework so they can check on their kingdoms and not waste valuable energy lol

Yet another death gem trap! Yesterday morning I went to "Give" some crops I had just harvested and the pop up screen of that goal had shifted and bounced sideways (!) Causing me to press the skip instead!! & you know how high the costs are on this one!! And of all things.... It was corn!! The quickest and easiest one to attain, if you had energy. So mad! :( sick of these traps. Only 4 measly gems left, I won't have the option to use gems to speed up any steps now.

Granted, I have probably been in the game too many hours, but about 36 hours into the 2nd goal, I need to collect about 90 more times. Then I'll coast for a couple of days while I wait on the requests. (Gives me a little time to work on other account lol) I have about 8 farms out.

I panicked about the 800 care for my buildings when tapping all delivered a mere 7 per cent. but Northwoods suggested putting out a lot of farmhouses as they recharge fast. I stored some buildings that don't recharge fast to make room. Now at 19 per cent just four hours later. Only need 20 per cent each day, to match neighbor responses. Mega thanks to Northwoods!

I have accepted about 30 new neighbor requests in the past day. Ironically, it was mostly my "tried and true" neighbors who had the most hearts available - was able to finish that part of the goal in an hour. I'm also on track for the 800 buildings but letters of Recommendation are running way behind. I've sent out full requests twice now (yesterday afternoon and this morning). I woke up to 16% and now I've been stuck at 22% for hours! Are any of you seeing lags in time with getting letters? My news feed is totally jammed up - old notes are not disappearing - so it's annoying to scroll through and try to figure out who has responded.

Yeah - I think maybe it started with numbers when I had about four but then immediately jumped to a percentage. I've been at 22% for hours. Although I wonder if CS is acting as if I've already gotten today's 20 responses since it has not been 24 hours since I sent out my first request. But I think I had 16% when I woke up his morning but now maybe I'm confusing with the number of my buildings I've tapped. I hope I get a big surge soon.

I woke up to 16% and now I've been stuck at 22% for hours! Are any of you seeing lags in time with getting letters? My news feed is totally jammed up - old notes are not disappearing - so it's annoying to scroll through and try to figure out who has responded.

Since this event started I've had and accepted over 200 neighbors in both my games. I lost count of how many requests I've fulfilled....a lot. I feel so far behind, especially on 2tina account. I'm not even at 50% for corn or strawberries in that game, though carrots are done. If people are looking for hearts in that game, they'll be very hard to find. :(

queentina3 only has about 10% left for seeds (corn/strawberries/carrots done), then I'll be on part 2. My neighbors probably hate me right now as there are really no buildings for them to click, so focused on getting through the harvesting...Soon neighbors, I promise, you'll have hearts again on this account. :o

Luckily, once we get past the 3 seals, the other parts *won't* be timed, according to PikaSquirrel. :)

Actually... what Pika said and what is actually happening are kinda the truth and kinda a hidden slap to your privates.

Pika said ONLY the first part of the event is timed... and the other two parts are not... which IS true... however, ALL three actual "tasks" ARE buried within ANOTHER timed event.

So, you HAVE to get Part One done within the time allotted... and yet you do not complete Part Two or Part Three (the 2nd and 3rd Seals) BEFORE the OVERALL event ends... you will not get a pony.

So spin it however you want, everything... all three Parts... earning all three Seals, must be completed within the initial 18 day limitation, or no pony.

The whole event IS timed... because everything is tasks within tasks...

If there were NO limitation on the Three Seals... THAT would allow you all the time you wanted... but because that task is timed, the WHOLE event is timed.

Does that clear it up for everyone?
Clear... like mud ;)

"Need for Steed" counts as the first goal. When accomplished 2 more will follow. Since they are not timed, the requirements might be astronomical. Hence, the pony might be months away from us.

The entire "need for steed" is timed - 18 days. We can take however long or little we want for each task within. But if we don't finish all three in 18 days, no horse. Some people wondered if the "not timed" referred than entirely new, yet unnamed task, that would appear once the horse was earned. Right?

mreames
04-18-15, 12:07 PM
That has been clarified I believe. Need for steed is one goal that has 3 parts to it. After the timed event (need for steed), there will be 2 more goals... Not what we are working on now. In fact, I'm not even sure we will receive the horses immediately after this timed even. All we are promised is a deed for a horse at this point. Lol

The way I understood it is that there will be more goals to fulfill after the three seals, and those goals are not timed. I don't think we immediately get the horse after we finish the Need for Steed goal.

Yeah - I think maybe it started with numbers when I had about four but then immediately jumped to a percentage. I've been at 22% for hours. Although I wonder if CS is acting as if I've already gotten today's 20 responses since it has not been 24 hours since I sent out my first request. But I think I had 16% when I woke up his morning but now maybe I'm confusing with the number of my buildings I've tapped. I hope I get a big surge soon.

Well that's a bummer. It's so much easier to know the actual amount you have vs. a percentage of the total you need.

Pre-requisites: Level 22+, have the Jousting arena and have the Goal, "The First Match" completed.
This is a link to the Story Outline thread so you can check where you're up to if you haven't finished the 1st Anniversary Goals of the Jousting Arena yet.
Timed portion: Need for Steed - Goals 1-3 below must be complete by the expiry date.
Untimed portion: there are 2 goals after Need for Speed which will come when this goal is complete.

That is at the very beginning of the 2nd post in this thread. SW got it confirmed from Pika that this is the way the goal chain is set-up. :)

Just like in RS and the other games, if you don't collect your tips after a certain amount of time, they disappear and then the tables are cleared for more....I think it's 7 days.

No, you didn't get nothing. You got decoration. You may think it's worth nothing, or atleast not the efford you put in it (neither do I), but it is something. And you got the Gardens, which do drop usefull stuff.

Personally, I just like to chase goals, accept challenges. I don't care much about the reward (ok, without any I wouldn't participate either, but just a small piece of deco is enough for me. To me it feels like a medal: "Look, I've made it! I worked my XXX off, and I made it!. That's enough for me.

I used a bunch of the fences/gates to have enough royal points to expand to Sabina. Decorations do waste space but the royal points have helped me!

This goal is supposed to be near to impossible to finish without gems. Making the last step rely on random events that the player has no control over (monster spawning) means that TL is in total control of when players can finish. They will run it down to the absolute wire making players panic and spend gems. And because it is the last step, psychology says players will be driven to spend as much money as it takes, so as not to have wasted all the energy and resources from the first two steps.

If this goal was not timed, it would be awesome and fun. Making it timed is disgustingly greedy. More and more, I can't stand playing any of these TL games because of the level of indifference to players, lack of effort, and unbelievable levels of greed. It makes me sick to my stomach. I don't know how anyone can feel differently.

I can understand where you're coming from, the timed goals can be quite challenging, but I think you're being overly negative. I've fully completed every timed event since the Halloween event last year, and I've never spent any gems. (Well, to be totally honest, I did spend some gems on the tablecloth goal from the Thanksgiving event, because I had little access to wool at that point.) And yes, I do have a full time job and cannot play while I'm working, but I do commit to playing consistently during these events when I'm not working.

I just thought that someone should refute your claim that these goals are impossible to complete without spending gems.

It hasn't changed. I'm in the central time zone and I don't remember exactly what time I sent out my first request last night. I but I thought you could send out one set of requests per day and get 20 responses per set of requests. I know that after I request from someone, it tells me I can't if I try to send again that day. Since I was able to send out two full requests so far, I thought I'd be able to get two full sets of responses. But maybe I only got 2% of people (or two) responding last night and then I got a full 20 today, so I'm done until tomorrow. Maybe I'll wake up and have a bunch more responses that "hit" after the time changed over at midnight Pacific.

mreames
04-18-15, 01:58 PM
I'm in central time zone also. You can receive 20 per day that ends at 2 am our time. Anything received after that counts towards the next days 20. (You can get 21 by waiting to send a request to stormie until after you get 20, as long as there is enough time.)

I didn't say impossible, I said near impossible. They want people to panic thinking they're not going to make it in time so that they start spending gems. And this is set up perfectly. The first goal takes tons and tons and tons of energy and resources, which psychologically commits players to wanting to see the rest of the goals through no matter what it costs. The second goal is set up so that there is a minimum of 5 days to get through. And the last goal relies on getting enough of something where players have no control over how often it happens. I think it's overly naive to think that they aren't in total control of this and planning to make sure that players go right down to the wire on completing it, so that panic sets in and gems will be spent.

Also, from what I've been reading, they're getting a lot worse with this game. The flower frenzy event was clearly lazily thrown together, and that truly WAS impossible for the lower level players to get the last individual prize. From what it sounds like, the Halloween event was much better all around - including having an actually useful prize. I've only been playing since January but the feeling I get from the forums, and my own observations, is that the game is going downhill.

And my negativity is by no means just about this goal.... it's about their treatment of this game and other TL games as well. They are putting in the absolute bare minimum effort on design and story, while taking every opportunity they can to add gem traps, and putting a focus on making timed goals that are extremely difficult and put a max amount of pressure on players to spend money. And then the cherry on top? The prizes aren't even close to being worth the effort and money.

Explain to me how being disgusted by this is unjustified....

I think the kind of update that most want is a continuation of the permanent storyline. Not more timed goals that are extremely difficult and require an insane amount of time and/or money to complete, all for what is probably a useless prize. We don't know that the horse is useless, but I think it's a pretty safe assumption considering the flower frenzy event prizes, the new market trades, and the new cabbage tent - all useless.

But sure, let me be more positive... let me spend money blindly and happily on the game in spite of how truly awful this company is. If you don't believe they are awful, greedy, steal money from players, and treat us like garbage, you haven't been paying enough attention. I'm not trying to be rude to other players, but I'm not a fan of sitting back quietly and getting taken advantage of. And if you haven't noticed the amount of manipulation and greed that goes into everything they do, it's time to.

I don't post here often and I have not read all the posts in this thread but just a heads up...when collecting from buildings for the goal beware the instant collect thing that happens when you close out and reopen or receive a notification (text, other app, etc.) I've had this happen to me twice and all those buildings went unregistered towards completion. Sorry if this has been said already. Better twice than never...?

It just happened to me. Used up all energy but my collection did not register at all. I didn't know why, now I do.

So slow collection required. I started out just tapping a few things at a time & watching the goal book for the progress flag. So I guess I'll keep that up then. No close out & opening again to do quick collection.

I finally read through all the comments. Whew!

I am at 41 percent on the Letters and with over 500 meighbors I am just waiting it out.

My biggest problem has been collecting from buildings as it wasn't clear which buildings counted or didn't until I came here and read through the forum. My 7 Glimmerdust Troves don't appeat to count toward the total despite what is posted. I have collected from them multiple times and no progress when I collect from them.

I have a question about the next part, with the Jousting Arena. I have one out in my Kingdom, and I was sure that I had several more but when I went to look as soon as I discovered that we need the Arena, I couldn't find my completed one or ones that I was sure were in storage but I did find a single Level 1 Arena. It disappeared when I attempted to place it in my Kingdom. I posted about it in "Bugs and Issues" and it is back now. So although I thought I had built more when I needed them to fight a long time ago, I do have two. But there seems to be no way now to build more. I am a bit confused about this because I thought that there was an option previously yo build more through the Market. There is no Jousting Arena in my Market now so I am wondering, do I remember this incorrectly or did Team Lava remove the option to build more from the Market for this Quest? It is not that there is a building limit like there is for many buildings It is simply not in the Market when I was sure that it was there previously. So, what am I missing? Do I remember incorrectly or was the Arena removed to prevent us from getting through the last section of this timed part of the quest without struggling or spending gems? Do I misremember how many Arenas I had in storage? Was my level 1 returned only because I reported it or was it an accident that it disappeared just as I was placing it? Can someone explain to me why I remember having at least two leveled up Arenas and the one level 1? How many Arena do others have? I can make it with the two Arenas and I completed the one that was returned to me this afternoon but with such a long recharge time, more Arenas would be handy. Answers to my memory lapse anyone? Thanks!

I was sure I read that all buildings, including glimmerdust troves, would count toward the 800 buildings we have to collect from in our own kingdoms. However, when I collect from my crafting buildings ...kitchen, work & potion shops, ... I am not seeing any progress on my goal book and the percentage collected is not increasing. Therefore, I am not getting credit when collecting from my crafting buildings!

If others are getting credit for collections on crafting bldgs then I am broken. Does being a droid user affect this lol .. J/k kinda sorta

Help!

I don't think I'll make it on that account and may end up just passing on the event over there if I can't complete the harvesting by tomorrow. I don't think I'll have time to get through the other steps otherwise and will just get frustrated. LOL!!!

I don't mean to be rude or something, but we complain when there r no updates
But when they give us update, we still complain... Lets be more positive, ppl ;)

I agree about bring more positive! It helps me to remember that it's a GAME! I actually started playing because my husband was playing Dragon Story and it looked fun but I thought he was crazy to spend real money on virtual gems to cash in for a game dragon. Hence my storm ID :) After playing myself I see how it gets so addictive but it's not as if they're offering us an actual horse or that they owe us anything. It's a free game and we all can walk away anytime we want - and take that money we would have spent on gems to buy a Groupon to go riding on a REAL horse :)

That said I'm soooo glad we have this forum!! My first timed event was the Thanksgiving table and I spent gems on that because I misunderstood the timed nature of the event versus the individual goal until I noticed the timer kept going down and did a Google search that led me to you all! It actually kind of amazing to me that TL/S8 allows all this idea sharing so we can plan ahead.

"Care For Your Kingdom" (assuming all buildings with hearts count!):

amphitheater, castle garden, cottage, conservatory, chateau, deep mine, farmhouse, glimmer troves, gazebo, glimmerbat habitat, hatchery, Ivy's hut, jousting arena, jeweler, library, lantern spire/ watchtower, mine, marketplace, magic garden, observatory, stable, sawmill, Sabina's house, tablet of tabernum, Thomas's house, troll pit, theatre, tavern, wizard school, windmill

I assume that Thurston's Fort and Kaz's Abode count because the other character houses do, but it's an assumption. All others listed above actually had hearts. Note: kitchens, potion shops, and magic forges didn't have any hearts :(

Does anyone know if the troll castle, troll vault, or cathedral count?

GL all!

~P.S. - feel free to add MsMelanieMonster (kingdom: aliceinoz ) for letters of recommendation. I'll be checking them frequently during this time challenge.

I don't think I'll have time to get through the other steps otherwise and will just get frustrated. LOL!!!

I didn't have much trouble with the first step, and I started with only about 40 carrots to my name. What I did was to set 16 of my fields to making strawberries and 32 to making carrots. Then set a kitchen timer to 1 hour. Come back, harvest the strawberries, and if I had more than 12-13 energy left, run a load of corn until I was out of energy then back to the strawberries and the kitchen timer. When I would miss the alarm for sleep or life getting in the way, I'd just have enough energy for two loads of corn. I had a skunkupine trap out to keep from being interrupted with my harvesting, and the only other thing I did with my energy was magic schools and pinkie to get more energy. With that, I got done in two days, and at the end I was just waiting for the second crop of carrots to finish.

Second stage doesn't look any harder. It'll take 4-5 days for the invitations depending on how much time you have left in the day when you finish step 1, but I finished petting 150 of my friends buildings in the first trip through. I'm not sure exactly what 800 of my own buildings will look like, but I took the good suggestion of building 3 level 1 farmhouses so I always always have buildings to spend energy on. I'm sure I'll make it before the recommendations if I do nothing else, and I'm pretty sure I won't have to be that single-minded.

Anything you can "heart" is counted. You can't "heart" crafting buildings so they don't count to my knowledge.

All of these count for me.

They counted for me as well, though I stored my Cathedral after I collected from it to make room for farm houses and I'm trying to just keep out resource buildings or those things that have 8 hours or less turn-around. I even stored my Theatre's and pulled out a few of my Towers. LOL!!! I'm going to have to accumulate more stone and beams before I buy more farm houses though. I've already run out. :rolleyes:

I will keep an eye out for the queries on the buildings listed in the last few posts (as I'm sure we all will). I have to go and do real life stuff for the rest of the day now, so I'll update post 2 later tonight. Happy collecting everyone! :)

How are you checking for progress from your troves? 7 out of 800 by itself isn't enough to change it by one percent. I think it should be enough to see a reduction in gem cost to skip though. My book flashed progress every time I collected from a trove but I'm through that now so I can't look at the gem cost go down. Since we can collect hearts from them it makes sense they would count.

The jousting arena was part of the storyline (first anniversary) and one is all that any of us could build. Not sure how you got two. ;) I'd say count your lucky stars. :)

As I tap buildings, I watch the goal book for the flash of the progress flag.
I know the green houses don't count, but will pay more attention when tapping the mines & sawmills.

That's how I checked for progress too. But when in doubt, keep track of the gem cost to skip. It should go down by a gem for every 2 collections or so. All of the mines and sawmills count.

Thanks for the heads up about this. I hadn't seen it mentioned.

It might be worth reporting in the bugs and issue section. You should get full credit regardless of whether you have an intentional or accidental quick-collect.

I'm sure I'll make it before the recommendations if I do nothing else, and I'm pretty sure I won't have to be that single-minded.

I had finished the carrots already, and the strawberries are finally done, but the corn is barely 50% and now the feed is at least 62%, though it seems to be slowing now that I'm only dealing with corn. Hmm.....Anyways, I did split up my crops and etc....And I was one of the first to move the beasties out of the way in both my games (back in the very first pages of the thread I wrote about it.) :p

No, my bigger problem is going to be the collecting of my own buildings once I finally get done harvesting and get the feed, if I can finish that tomorrow. See, 2tina has barely any money and NO ROOM at all. If you saw that queendom there is barely a spot for a 1x1 item now. I also have almost no wood or stone left to even contemplate building more farm houses at the moment. I'd have to waste energy on cutting trees/bashing rocks. I'm just going to see what happens over the next day or so and if it looks like I'm not going to be able to make it, I'll just go back to regular play and forget about this event on that account. I won't cry over not getting a horse that we don't even know if it's going to drop anything rare enough that I can't already get elsewhere, you know? I'd rather not have the frustration and annoyance, and queentina3 account is on schedule so at least one account will have one. *shrugs*

What are the two quests after "need for steed"? I'm on the resume building second quest and have 57% collecting from buildings, 100% visiting neighbors, and 32% letters of recommendation (need more neighbors. :)). I'm hoping to get to the last quest seal of bravery by Tuesday. But, seems like a lot of fighting to get done on that one.

If you're referring to the 2 untimed quests that will follow, no one knows as they haven't been released yet.
If you're referring to the last component of the need for steed, it's the one about monster mashing. Battle 50 monsters, collect 50 paws and visit the jousting arena 10 times.

Pika squirrel works for TL and posted the first 3 quests before people got to them so I'm assuming she knows the 2 untimed ones too. Not an illogical assumption. :)

You are confused. The custom is that the moderators here will update post 2 of these threads as more information is discovered about the goals by us, the players. That way, people have an easy place to go to see what they need to do for the goal. Pika did not post the information. TL will not tell us what the goals are; they want us to discover them.

How are you checking for progress from your troves? 7 out of 800 by itself isn't enough to change it by one percent. I think it should be enough to see a reduction in gem cost to skip though. My book flashed progress every time I collected from a trove but I'm through that now so I can't look at the gem cost go down. Since we can collect hearts from them it makes sense they would count.

The glimmerdust troves are definitely counting for me. The spooky tree, however, does not.

They definitely worked for me too and I'm the one that pushed for its inclusion on page 1 since it's not so obvious. Lol
That's why I wanted to know how she was coming to that conclusion, in case I was wrong. :) I confess I tried the spooky tree once, too. Lol

There was some discussion a while back about when we will actually get the horse and then I noticed on the ad for the event it says not to miss out on our chance to get "a horse deed"...

You ll be able to craft One horse in the end( either black one or the beige one) because you only have one Deed.
Additional Deed will cost 999 gems (as an option to craft the second horse )
As far as i was told by my nbr, the horse is a week collection time. Drops are unknown yet..

Started on part two now with requests. Will take minimum 5 days to finish. The visit buildings 800 times might also take a long time but i aim for 20% each Day so i am done at the same time as my requests. I actualy Like this update.
Even though i would have prefered it not to be timed

i do NOT like this update at all.. again it's also not for everyone who plays..
for those that do get it... first we do nothing than collecting an absurd amount of crops, leaving no energy at all to tend our kingdom.
and after that we are forced to collect EIGHTHUNDRED times and wait at least FIVE days to get all requests from our neighbours.. no fun at all not having any energy for anything else.. game****er first class

i understand why it's build this way... so they won't have to release another update for three weeks....

Just to clarify post 1 vs post 2.... Both posts are created by TL (usually Pika). The first post has the goal and the information they choose to release. The second post is created for me to use (initially empty) and everything in it is information posted by players (and me if I am ever ahead of the game!) I add in tips and tricks and links and pictures. This is why you don't have to read through every post because I do. I just make it easy to use and pretty!

Ps, glimmer troves definitely count! I did a slow collect. Any type of crafting building does not count. I only went by the flashing progress button on screen. Skunkhouse worked too.

My experience is, every building that drops an XP star counts. Crafting buildings don't drop XP, thus do not count.

Does anybody knows if the amount of money counts you collect from buildings or the times you can collect from buildings?
I have the feeling it is the last option, therefore I just put building with a long collecting time back in my inventory and replaced them with building which have a short collecting time. Hopefully this works.

Since farmhouses are ready to collect after 10 min, maybe this is the best option to get to the goal asap?
I'm trying it now.

Well correct me if I'm wrong all u math wizards (cuz I'm definitely not) lol but if u are on the beast and u are going to skip if u have the energy u are better off to buy skunkupine traps right? Cuz the way I have it figured the paw is 3 gems each and the fighting the beast part is 5 gems each which makes 8 gems but the traps are just 5. Am I missing something ? And another question how many people are buying the additional horse for 999? Just curious. I would love to have 2 but not too sure on this one. Enjoy everyone. :)

I finished my first seal yesterday mid morning. I had already placed most of my buildings from storage, including 8 greenhouses, 10 cottages and 2 farmhouses. I collected from everything.

I wasnt able to check in again for more than 3 hours, then not again for about 4 hours, but later could check in freely. Overall I was finding myself with extra energy, and took advantage of the opportunity to collect from some non-goal items. I didn't feel like I had to use every energy on the goal.

I ended the day with 25% of my collections completed, well ahead of my plan for 20% to line up with the 5 days of neighbor requests.

I am gad that they count for you, but they definitely don't count for me. i have done several slow collects and not once did the progress sign blink nor did I get credit for them. I am not wasting any more of my rare energy on collecting from anything that doesn't pay off since I need 800 collections from buildings that do pay off. I still think it is a nasty thing to pull on us to not make it very clear from the start exactly wich buildings count for this quest. It is just more of the usual greedieness and trickery to try to force us to spend money.

I object, not so much for myself as I come here and find out the information from other players, but most of my neighbors don't visit the forums and Team Lava has pulled another fast one by not clarifying for everyone from the start.

I suspect that as most of the fine print for this quest is not easily accessable to players who don't visit forums there could be widespread civil unrest in our kingdoms when rulers discover that they don't get their steed at the end of this onerous and resource gobbling quest. It took days to clarify here that this is only the first part of a three part quest for the steed. It is still not clear to the majority of players. I think that Team Lava's lack of attention to what is going on with players of their game will come to bite them with this
sneaky greediness. Everyone has a breaking point and it seems from comments I am seeing on my wall that many are rapidly approaching that point after months of getting nothing of value for their money and effort. Just sayin'.

How are you checking for progress from your troves? 7 out of 800 by itself isn't enough to change it by one percent. I think it should be enough to see a reduction in gem cost to skip though. My book flashed progress every time I collected from a trove but I'm through that now so I can't look at the gem cost go down. Since we can collect hearts from them it makes sense they would count.

The jousting arena was part of the storyline (first anniversary) and one is all that any of us could build. Not sure how you got two. ;) I'd say count your lucky stars. :)

I did a slow collect multiple times and not once did I get a flashing "Progress" sign when I collected from troves, nor did they count toward my total. I am not stupid enough to collect from 7 just once before posting here about it. I am an experienced player so give me a break, huh?

I realize that others might be getting credit for troves, but I am not. I finally quit collecting from them after wasting over 100 energy on testing them because it was stated here that they counted. Nevertheless, they are not counting for me so I am sticking to farmhouses so I can get done with this part.

Thanks for the info on the Arena. I am elderly and I admit my memory for long past events in this game might not be what it should be. That is why I asked. Appreciate an answer :)

04-19-15, 05:02 AM
Weighing in on the trove debate: my understanding is that mine counted towards goal completion. I have the "progress" sign flashing next to my goal book. I can also give hearts to my neighbours' troves and I take this as another sign.

I feel your pain as my 2tina account is still only about 85% with corn and 92% with feed, and that is level 34. I got very lucky that 2 of the 4 alicorn's I have on that account were ripe for harvesting this morning, so not only did I get the 80 extra energy from them, but my wizard school was ready with another 10, plus the normal 40. That jumped me from a little over 50% corn to the 85%. I may just be able to actually finish harvesting this afternoon and move onto step 2 on that account after all.

Queentina3 account is lagging behind in collecting from my own buildings, even with 12 farmhouses and longer term ones stored. That one is going to take forever.......My 2 alicorn's on that account have at least 4 or 5 days before I can collect from them, so they're useless right now. My w-ali and pink-ali have only been giving me 4 energy.....*sighs*

I'm glad the Troll Sparring Pit doesn't count, as those of us that haven't reached it yet would be at a HUGE disadvantage when it came to that part of the goal. At least now all players are on an equal footing when it comes to fighting the beasties! :p

U do need I think it was 5 carrots to feed them and a couple of sugars. After the adult thing it is a weeks wait. I have not gemmed through that part cuz it costs like 700 gems and I am assuming it is just like an alicorn. Again that is just a guess I'm not for sure.

One horse appears in the workshop and one in the forge. The one not selected shows deed for 999 gems. How long it stays in there I don't know. Maybe until the timed quest is over or maybe forever I'm not really sure on that I don't remember seeing any kind of time on it but I know the quest is timed so to be safe if u want 2 I would assume it goes away when quest timer runs out.
Yes I would love for them to drop expansion permits also but I would guess it's like an alicorn but again just IMO of course. :)

What was needed to craft the horse?... Just the deed?
Puffy previously posted the back of the card for one of the seals, showing a limit of 2 (instead of 1).
Since the deed is the reward for the collection of the 3 seals, then that means there isn't a way to craft the deed from the 3 seals, correct? (Hence, why a 2-limit on ea seal?? Lol)

NW, are you sure you'd want to spend 999 gems on a second horse? Think of all the other gem items you could buy instead for 999 gems. For example, there was that recent option to to pay 1000 gems to get 10 energy from the expired market trade. If you buy the second horse in haste, you might miss out on similar opportunities. ;-)

I would also like to thank my awesome neighbours again (I made sure I left msgs on everyone's wall) for helping out with the recommendation letters.

Turns out, for a player of my level with no additional energy sources except for a pink alicorn, the real challenge will be collecting from the buildings. I'm not even on track to have those finished by the time all the recommendation letters come in.

I know I'm off topic here,, but these quests when they need a neighbors help, they come out of the wood work and take your ID and they add you they don't stop by they don't even leave a message , How rude! Guess you didn't want me to add you bad enough.
On topic love setting here and sending out all the request as fast as I can ,I wanted to leave a message on my wall last night saying I was going to go to bed. Didn't want people to worry I didn't send back, I was lucky had very few waiting since I got up around the time the TL clock turn over good luck every body

Haha...my sentiments exactly, kat. I have at least 5-10 nbr requests each hour or so. None both to even stop by. They can once an invite is sent but I'm not able to unless I accept but you don't bother neither do I.

Thanks to all my great nbrs I'm up to 41 letters. You guys rock!!!

So we have to craft a horse? How is that done? What crafting building?

NW, are you sure you'd want to spend 999 gems on a second horse? Think of all the other gem items you could buy instead for 999 gems. For example, there was that recent option to to pay 1000 gems to get 10 energy from the expired market trade. If you buy the second horse in haste, you might miss out on similar opportunities. ;-)

Sorry ,just had to laugh at this one

You're very welcome :) I send the requests out ever day to every neighbor. If you happen to be up , new requests can be sent out after 2 am our time, every day.

FYI - I did wake up to 39% letters and now I'm up to 44%, where I assume I'll stay until tomorrow. Looks like I'll finish sometime early Wednesday morning, which will give me 12 days to complete the third badge (currently at 77% for my buildings).

I'm a mid - level player (36) and do not have a lot of the higher level buildings (still at the start of the Glimmergate quest so don't have anything that comes afteward, although I do have the troll castle and fairy respite. I started with almost all my carrots but less than 20% for corn and strawberries and was able to finish them in a little over two days. I built a bunch of farmhouses and in 36 hours I've managed to get to 77% visiting my own buildings. It definitely can be done by those of us lower than level 50 (I have a job and family too so I'm not just sitting around clicking on my game all day or setting alarms to go off every two hours.) I probably check 4 -6 times per 24 hour period, although when I was trying to finish my corn I did check a little more often. I also happened to level up in the middle of farming, which helped a lot. But don't give up - we will all be riding horses in a couple of weeks!

I am gad that they count for you, but they definitely don't count for me. i have done several slow collects and not once did the progress sign blink nor did I get credit for them. I am not wasting any more of my rare energy on collecting from anything that doesn't pay off since I need 800 collections from buildings that do pay off. I still think it is a nasty thing to pull on us to not make it very clear from the start exactly wich buildings count for this quest. It is just more of the usual greedieness and trickery to try to force us to spend money.

I object, not so much for myself as I come here and find out the information from other players, but most of my neighbors don't visit the forums and Team Lava has pulled another fast one by not clarifying for everyone from the start.

I suspect that as most of the fine print for this quest is not easily accessable to players who don't visit forums there could be widespread civil unrest in our kingdoms when rulers discover that they don't get their steed at the end of this onerous and resource gobbling quest. It took days to clarify here that this is only the first part of a three part quest for the steed. It is still not clear to the majority of players. I think that Team Lava's lack of attention to what is going on with players of their game will come to bite them with this
sneaky greediness. Everyone has a breaking point and it seems from comments I am seeing on my wall that many are rapidly approaching that point after months of getting nothing of value for their money and effort. Just sayin'.

Did you buy your troves with gems or did you get them from quests? My two troves (both purchases), do count toward my total, but I wonder if troves that were won do not.

It isn't a bug. Crafting Buildings DO NOT count. That includes potion shop, workshop, forge, tinker camp, kitchen, faerie workshop......

Can someone send me a private message on how I can get another kingdom? Would love to have a 2nd one. I started in December and lvl 30something. and yes I've contributed hundreds to team lava. And lost over 2000 gems by accidently speeding up alicorns! We need gem confirmation! ! Thank you kindly. Love Light n Blessings 🌹

In my case, troves from adventures work, also.

Wonderful! :) I'm sitting at 82% letters on this account but still collecting horse feed on my 2nd account but only started it yesterday afternoon. I'd still send out another round of requests so that all of the people that already responded get another chance to help. :)

A little quote from firest page:

* all buildings count towards tending buildings count

I can be wrong but the kitchen looks like a building to me ;)

I hope that I am not repeating anyone. I found that in the button to buy things....any thing counts under"buildings". This has included that pumpkin and glimmer troves. Good luck. I am only at 13%. I have built 6 level one farmhouses because I can collect every 15 min. Will put them in storage when this goal is done.

I just collected from my Spirals and Watch Towers. They DO NOT count as buildings for your "Care for Your Kingdom" under Step 2 - "Earn the Seal of Chivalry". :( I just started this and only collected from seven buildings with 5 of them being these. :'(

I'm sorry they're not for you, but they DO COUNT for me. So, it looks like for some people some things aren't registering but for others they are. My glimmer troves also count, while another player states it isn't counting for them.

One of the horses can be crafted in the workshop, the other one is crafted in the magic forge,

I wonder if that means they give off different items? Which one is workshop?

I could easily be wrong but I suspect it's just because one is part of a quest and the other is a purchase. The quest allows you to choose between the two so I imagine those will all be crafted the same way. But I'm not speaking from experience. :)

Just collected from my 2 watch towers. This time the pulsing progress indicator next to the quest book flashed with a delay of at least 2 seconds. For a moment I thought they were not registering. But since I'm s l o w l y collecting now... <-- that's really hard for me thou, LOL

It is hard for me, too. I just checked on 2tina, as I've finally finished harvesting and moved on to step 2, and the Love Spires also count, and they're on a 2 hour turn-around, unlike the Watchtowers and regular Spires, which are 4 hour turn-around times. If you've got any, pull them out of storage. :)

So it seems like regardless of which on you choose, it will craft in the workshop. Then, if you buy the second one for 999 gems, it will be made in the magic forage? That's just what I've surmised thus far. I'm still trying to get letters from neighbors. Still have 42% to go...

This is certainly not an easy set of challenges. I hope the reward is worth it! :)

Actually I'm pretty sure that they are just set up so that the brown one is in the workshop and black in the forge no matter which one u choose. At least that is how mine was. :)

Check the 2nd post of this thread. Steps are there & updated by mods as they become known.


****Some posters are saying farmhouses regen in 15 min.

****Nope --- farmhouses regenerate every 10 minutes!!

Watchtowers & Spires are registering for me, as well as the glimmerdust troves. It's very hard for me to not do the 'quick' collection method but just tapping 2-3 buildings at a time and then watching for the progress flag by the goal book each time, I make sure all are registering.

I have 5 troves, none bought with gems, all count toward my building total.
