Maybe I'll get her some flowers? Or perhaps something else would be better? There aren't many ideas. Her tastes are so refined! Everyone, help me think. Remind me of your best gifts!

[==Update requires Level 15+ to participate, and is live 05/28 @ 12pm - 06/01 @ 12pm==]

For those who are wondering, this is a SNEAK PEAK goal chain consisting of three parts. The second two parts consist of Giving 30 wool, 15 truffles, and 50 jewels as well as visiting neighbors, Old Thomas, and Ivy. There is no reward for completing these goals. (Many thanks to neighbors for information)

Thanks for the information! So this is like the pre-spring event goals, which took a ton of resources in exchange for very little, and they claimed it was a "head start" on the event. Which it wasn't.

Anyway, I'll wait for someone to confirm this before I give anything to these goals. I've learned that lesson. But, it certainly seems like pre-goals, and I'm assuming they are not necessary in order to participate in the next step, due to the fact that they are timed. It would be great if a mod could confirm this, however! Doesn't sound like this one is overly resource draining at least, but still, I hate hate hate giving resources for goals that are totally unnecessary in the end.

Oh I noticed this. Believe me, I noticed as I just barely got enough wool to complete the gazebo goals in time.

And did you notice the "value pack" including wool?

And on top of this, I bet these pre-goals turn out to be completely UNNECESSARY to even do in the first place, just like the pre-spring event goals.

It's stuff like this that just really, really makes me hate S8. I understand they are a business and they like to make money, but this really couldn't be any MORE of an obvious (and just plain low) money grab. Yep, that's S8 for you in a nutshell.

We do seem to be gearing up for a large timed goal, perhaps even a community event! I will probably ignore this goal chain because I need my jewels right now!

It's kind of like "teaser" goals. They are pointless as far as rewards go, but they start the storyline for the next update.

If the resources needed (rat tails, jewels, wool) are tight for you, you can skip these goals and still participate in the main event/quest when it happens next week.

How do you know for sure these are 'Sneak Peak' goals?

We have only one report so far that they are, but it makes total sense. And I don't see why anyone would lie about this goal chain not offering any reward.

I am, however, hoping that a mod will confirm this. I believe it was confirmed by the mods that the pre-spring event goals were not necessary to actually do the spring event (and in fact, they hurt you as they drained resources).

So, mods, can we get it confirmed that these are just pre-goals and that they are not necessary to participate in whatever update happens next week?

In the meantime, while we wait for more official confirmation, I would gather the resources you need, but do NOT give them yet. It's 15 rat tails, 15 truffles, 50 jewels, and 30 wool I believe. You can start gathering them, but don't use them unless we hear that it's necessary (which, I highly doubt it will be).

I prefer "prepare" to "give" though because at least you aren't using things you might not have extras of... Even if you have 77 in inventory you'll now have 78 instead of being one less in exchange for the reward of some glue :)

But Apple has banned me from my 14-day return right of apps and so I get every time I make an in-app purchase a message and also an e-mail telling me that I am "no longer eligible to cancel this purchase". That is like being punished for buying. That sucks. I don't like to buy anything anymore.

I must say my excitement for an update has fallen off rather quickly at the thought of having to give away resources for little in return. All the requested resources are items used in the royal exchange leading to trade tickets - which remain a very valuable item for most players. So to get a few common items - beams, blocks and simple glue - we are taking away from our trading.

In my opinion, this type of sneak preview is useless. I much preferred the way the Halloween preview was handled, where you could earn unique event items during the sneak preview which gave you a head start on the goals during the main event.

From what I remember is that some of the goals didn't require you to finish them but they would help a lot going forward and we still had to wait for timeout to go to next.. this is different in that its an update that ends and does not really give you an advantage to complete the next goals coming. One I remember was the timed goal if completed gave you a bunch of enchanted essences... I think this is a diferent animal and I wish I had not wasted 15 rat tails.

Seriously700 was talking about the pre-event caravans that gave us the necessary masks for the following H'ween event as rewards, instead of simple beams, blocks & glue ...and I don't think they were timed individually.

TECHNICALLY, they could say what they gave us did get used because we had to give something like fancy beams and blocks to start off the next week... That could've been made from the rewards. Lol but, yeah, at the time, superglue was a tight commodity for me. Lol

I'm max out on the rewards ,will we still get them,

Actually, it's almost exactly like the predecessor to the Flower Frenzy event that katbtodd linked on the previous page than the H'ween event's predecessor, cuz the H'ween one gave more valuable rewards that actually *did* get us more ahead for the event.

Yes, I remember a time when optional meant highly advised to get ahead. I think the pink alicorn was the same way, if I remember right. But a lot of those really took very heavy resources.

How can u get the tails. I never have enough of them

Skunkupine come from - Flowers, Corn, Wheat, Sugar, Tomato, Fellora Plant, Pepe, some Trees, Plants... mostly wheat and sugar for me. Once I got Pepe, tails were no longer an issue but I think that took me until level 30ish. Good luck!

I came in here, having almost finished 'a plot of our own' only to find it is the last step.
Thinking they're just putting in goals which require us to visit neighbours (or community members) just so players look more active than they are. I really wish they'd continue the plot and main storyline, and give us something to do!

05-28-15, 09:35 PM
I'm just wondering if TL likes to see us all in a tizzy of an uproar. If you've noticed; visiting neighbors does slow down, player game time activity slows down, forum activity is cut down by it seems 90% whenever controversial goals aren't happening.

So I think TL is just trying to get us on the forum and on the game to get busy with it. I'll keep my resources until I see something that tells me it is a wothwhile goal. Maybe they enjoy reading about our frustrations. Who knows.

If you read a few pages back there is some speculation about this. I would say 100% the goal will be timed, but it is impossible to be sure if it will be a community event. Fingers crossed for cool prizes!

I'm giving the update till next week to see what happens. Two things need to happen before I delete the game ( I've been playing from almost the beginning. ) continuation to a great update and expansions. The game right now has me opening it up about twice a week now and I am starting to play other companies games regularly. I've stuck to this one since I h so much time and money invested. But it is getting close to being deleted. I will see next week

05-29-15, 06:27 AM
The whole pre-event just feels like it was phoned in by S8. At least if we were given some new items to craft - let's use the wool and some dyes to make pretty new curtains or sheets in the workshop instead of just giving wool. Maybe make a crown or other special jewelry item in the forge instead of just giving jewels. Maybe a special recipe to make - maybe just not custard lol. And let's give out a more meaningful reward - maybe an energy crate to give participants a little advantage during the main event.

This formula of "dump valuable resources-visit lots of kingdoms- collect from a few buildings-do it for practically no rewards- do it all pretty quickly-come back next week and do it all again" -- well, it's really turning off your otherwise loyal players.

I'm sure it's hard for S8 to balance providing new content regularly that keeps both lower level and higher level players happy. But something like this really misses the mark all around. Lower level players would be giving up hard to replace items in return for simple to make rewards. And most higher level players have high inventory of the reward items yet are constantly replenishing the required resources for use at the royal exchange.

And in the meantime, it's been over 10 months since faerie blocks/pastes/beams were introduced into the game but the only thing they've been used for is to build the workshop so we can build more of them. What's the point?

I remember something similar to this a few months ago....completing it was supposed to help in an upcoming task ...(maybe the garden)...the rewards were similar ...a few blocks/beams.....
Ugh no thanks! ....I'll save my jewels , tails, wool & make my own blocks/beams.....
Usually the moment I give away/use a lot of a certain resource ....that's what I end up really needing in the future ...blah

Quests like these are so annoying. I'm so OCD about completing everything I can (probably because I've played from the beginning but then had a phone issue I was too lazy to work out so quit for like a year and missed a lot of cool stuff, i.e. cauldron, bountiful table... sigh) so I do them even though I know it is just a waste of resources :(

I just hope next week's update is really cool, even if these quests were pointless...

I'm really beginning to think so, this was a waste of my time. No fun and as insulting to my intelligence as the new daily trades.
My addiction to this game is way over....I don't check in as often, and really don't care.
There is nothing to do, who knows where the storyline will meander, and doesn't look like anyone at S8 knows what they are doing.

I am wayyy over any meaningless timed "special event deco" "change the rules in the homestretch"
I would have much preferred no update, than this one.
Everyone has been begging for a completion of the main storyline because we can't bear to see the dead horse dragged any longer.
It's cute they re released the gazebo....obviously they are out of ideas.

I mean come'on "rid ivy's house of pies?" Obviously they meant "skunkupines"
It's "possible" that next Thursday might have something to do with the barons mother, but past logic says it might not.....remember the order of all the wedding stuff?
It "might" be that we need some reg. blocks and beams? ....kinda doubt it, and why, when we are maxed on them or can make them in 15 min.

But yeah....if the end result is another tent, table or deco/coin building only. Or even an incomplete non storyline. How many times do we have to BEG not to have another, and that they are no fun and leave a bad taste.

If these quests only had a 5 gem reward each I'ld be there. And realistically, what is 5 gems but a good return on a 24hr adventure? But these are busy work for no reward and in the past it has been you emptied out an item that was needed the next week.

I am not doing any of this.

I did these pre-quests, just to have something to do. Certainly not for the non-rewards. Seriously, even as a lower level player, fancy blocks and beams were NOT hard to come by. At least now I can collect without constantly seeing the dreaded "sorry you can't hold any more _____" message.
I only hope the new quest or community event or whatever is coming doesn't leave us with a statue of the baron's mommy dearest as a "prize" :p
Unless she's dropping gems, that is! :rolleyes:

I totally missed the idea of answering the question! So, if the idea is that we get these gifts as prizes, then I'd bet the LoveShack (or a building very much like it) was the best present ever! (I'd love a chance to find out! :D)
Also, land is always a nice gift. Especially when you have a wealthy son like the Baron. (Expansions and the permits to claim them!!)

Putting myself in TL/S8's shoes, here is how I would sketch the upcoming event:
-The Baron's mother comes to town! We great her at the castle, expecting her to be as horrible as he is.
-She turns out to be friendly and not at all rude or presumptuous; we wonder where the Baron went wrong.
-The Baron gets pissy at us because we befriend his mom and laugh about how annoying he is.

Come on guys, let's get creative and try and predict the storyline!

Yes, I did read that ruler and Ivy questioned the skunkupies.....but that was kind of a non issue.

This week's update is a set of three limited-time caravan quests that are available to all players level 15+ and focus on helping neighboring kingdoms get ready for their spooky festivities.

In addition to its normal rewards, each caravan quest has a special Halloween costume part as a reward (Witch Hat, Fangbeast Mask, and Princess Tiara) to give you a head start on an event that's coming up soon :)

Have fun!
---------------------
From the update very similar to this "Emergency" one, the week before the Flower Frenzy event:

Hey everyone,

There's a big event happening next week in your Kingdom! To prepare, there will be a few timed Goals this week starting today at 12 PM PST and expiring at 11:30 AM DST on March 12th. These are optional, but if you complete them, the rewards will give you a head start in next week's event. You need to be level 15+ in order to participate in this week's Goals.
--------------------
So I don't understand.... Why is TL/S8 being so secretive about letting us know about an upcoming community event this time around???

SW ~ Now it's not something they share? So far, we have had 3 world events in CS, each with a set of optional predecessor goals...and with each predecessor, we've been told that they were preparatory for the main event.....

Here's the initial post from the caravan update, a couple weeks before the Midsummer Pyre Festival last summer:

That's so funny! If you read them in order, they get progressively less presice about what is coming!

They used to give us a sneak peek for the whole month, every month. It usually involved clues but still gave the impression there was a long term plan. It's starting to feel a little bit like a ship without a rudder. I would've bet money that most of the year was planned out, complete with project schedules, etc.

It seems to me the rewards of this pre goal are corresponding to what sir pigglesworth is giving the last few days. Wood and blocks.
that being said...i am kicking them out in beast mode...for me it was obvious. We will need building material. And lots of it. have a good day. :)

I took a very long break from Castle Story a month or so after they added the Sabina questline, so I am just glad that we have such regular updates now! I would also bet that they have a long list of planned updates, don't you wish you could sit in during their team meetings?

And be able to vote, yes. Lol :) I also took a long break when it really seemed like a dead end. I was glad to see so much changed when I did start playing again.

I really do NOT care for a world event, wasting energy to end up with useless Deco.
I shiver everytime I hear / see corn or tulip :eek:
I accept a once a month update, - instead of "give this and give that"- one.
An update in the main storyline, resulting in useful rewards, and less "tables,tents, borina, and Faerie whatever !".
SPACE to put the new building S8 might come up with.
And finally hoping S8 were listening, and make the drops of that building worthwhile.
No more Bones/Creep tooth/ Petals/ seeds/ fertelizer etc etc etc...
There are only 2 sources for Glimmer Fragments/ shards (aside from the Fortune Teller's old log's Fortune )
Let them give us a Cave where we can go mine for these. Or add them to that ugly troll pit.
I am really starting to get irritated every Thursday! I used to be excited, not anymore! :rolleyes:

I, personally, would be satisfied as long as the reward(s) of next week's update were pretty and (pretty please!) animated, because we can't have functional items every time. Expansions is something that the game doesn't have to be stingy about, though, so I think we can expect some of those soon!

There are three sources for glimmer shards/fragments. You can get them from Greselda's Castle, the Gate, and Greselda's Dark Garden. Also you can transform one into the other in the faery workshop. which I have done to balance them out. I don't feel like I really need a source of those now that I'm past Sister, Sister. I agree though, community events are so annoying when the only payoff is decoration. The only community event items I really liked were from Halloween, because the cauldron actually does something. If there's a new item coming, I'd like it to drop items I can use to trade, especially the things that I consistently don't have enough of like fur and troll horns. But that's just because I'm working on expanding right now.

*IF* this update is a predecessor to an upcoming immunity, I mean COMmunity, event lol (I say "if" cuz we've yet to get confirmation on that but it's definitely looking like it)..... then I know one thing right now... If ANY of the prizes (individual OR community) are any of the same items currently in the Baron's Game Tent (in particular, those balloons & that cake table look suspiciously fit for a BIRTHDAY!), then I'm gonna be seriously peeved cuz those decor items are GEM PURCHASES that some of us already bought!

But otherwise, I'm curious...
What do you guys think we'll be collecting this time around?
I'm pretty sure it won't involve corn or tulips, although it *could* be something from crops (I'm recalling the tomatoes we throw at the Baron a lot). Will we go back to busting rock piles like we did during the Pyre Fest, for some rare jewel for the Baron's Mommy? Keep in mind, it's available to level 15+ so it has to be something they can access.
Thoughts, y'all?

Ps. I reeeeeeeeeeeally hope it also involves something we can CRAFT!

When I asked some of my neighbors, the most common answer was: not tulips or corn!:rolleyes: Other suggestions included candy, flowers, cakes, expensive things, jewels, underwear, false teeth, strange things, petals, diamonds, chocolate and gold...:D I do not dare to guess, myself...:eek:

DS currently has an "event" going but it's not the "community" type event. Sometimes their other games can be looked at for clues but its not 100% and DS' event has nothing to do with mother's birthday. Lol.;)

Here's a theory, we may have to build her a summer house so she can keep an eye on her son and the ruler. Or maybe she and Griselda will have a death match lol. The baron seems like a momma's boy. Either way, my interest is piqued. It could really great or terribly awful.

Sorry to say that was the end of the quest. There was no follow up quest for it. The whole thing was optional.

Maybe, but I'd be very surprised if it was as the summer gazebo just had a second turn for those that didn't get it or were levelled up last time. With that and the romantic gazebo they would all be very similar in ideas. I would relish something completely different. On par with the cauldron type different.

But that's just because I'm working on expanding right now.

I was talking about the daily sources that are sure to drop the fragments/shards,( and sometimes both don't drop anything as well) ! The garden is not one of them! It rarely drops them !

I finished the Sinister Sister before the Fellora plant was introced and the old log Fortune!

I do use the Faerie worshop to transform one into the other as needed, and still it is not sufficient for me as I am still trading for inscriptions ;)
However, other players are still trying to finish Sinister Sister with those miserely resources, if they don't have the Fortune Teller Tent!, and did not MISS the Old Log fortune!

Every player has their own need, unlike you, I am almost always full on fur, so Waste them ( with prcious wool) in the trade just to get rid of that dreaded black flag :)

I would like to have sufficient Shard/fragments to make Adamant for instance!

Yes The Community Events for me are becoming really annoying and irritating, especially when the prizes are Decos we don't have the space for!

(Somehow, I had the impression that the design staff was female. How did a Barbie doll end up as the Baron's mother?)

I think she looks like Baron's mom! And the average mom at that as far as size wise.
Betting she is either a complainer, hypochondriac or that mom that makes you feel
guilty about everything. My wild guess because of Baron's personality.

I think she will be a drama queen and the baron becomes frantic about serving her a scrumptious meal but sneaky ivy prepares a dish with skunupies but before she can do that ivy will have to share her recipe. There will be a way to make skunupies. That's just a wild guess!!
