The time has come at last! Roam the kingdom, door-to-door, and give each other a mighty fright! Each and every household is stocked and ready to greet their costumed visitors! Anyone can claim their sweet offerings, so long as those magic words are offered: Trick or treat?!

[==Update requires Level 17+, and is live from 10/22 to 11/02 @ 11:30am.==]

I've been playing a game! Have you figured out this week's answer? The answer is: TREAT

Trick or Treat Event
prepared by SpiritWind

Cottages now drop 1 of each item.
There is a limit to town buildings of 40. You may have to sell something like a farmhouse to get more.

23 Oct: Hi all, I've sent a report to the team a few hours ago and asked questions about how this goal can be achieved without the use of gems. Just be mindful that they have left for the day so we won't get a response until tomorrow. Stay tuned and we'll see what the plan is.
RESPONSE:

Hey everyone! Just chiming in to confirm that more sources of Gummy Worms and Chocolate Cookies will be made available later in the week :)

Hope you all enjoy the event!

(Side note: Try turning the Essence Pool around when you get it! ;) )

Have to be very careful to make sure before proceeding. I don't want to go through another trick or treachery update and buy something I don't want again. Learned not to jump into it like I used to do. Sort of takes the fun out of waiting for an update but can't be too careful from now on.

"Each and every household is stocked..."???? ... Old Thomas and Ivy are TWO households.
Lv 5 Orphanage makes 3. Nothing from Greselda, Sabina, Thurston, cottages, etc....
So, um...each & every household..um, WHERE?? Did I miss something? LOL

You're not slow. I'm at level 50 and it will take me another 5 days to upgrade to level 5 orphanage. I play everyday and in and out of the game all day and still not there. I'm find this whole quest boring and very monotonous but I'm not giving up yet.

I'm level 41, play the game an awful lot, and am only about halfway to upgrading the orphanage to level 4. A lot of these timed quests that build buildings are extraordinarily hard. I always remind myself that a lot of the people who post here are very advanced, well stocked players. I actually don't think I have a single neighbor with a level 5 orphanage yet.

Yes, it's chocolate pudding with chocolate cookie crumbs on top with gummy worms "wriggling" out of the dirt. Can serve it in a flowerpot for extra authenticity. Great for kids parties

I have the orphanage at lvl5.
Quick maths:
Sleep 8 hrs a day so max 16 hrs of gaming
Even if you set an alarm you would get:
16x orphanage= 48 of each
2x ivy = 8 worms
8x OT = 8 cookies
1,5 (if you send out both castle and barracks) = 1,5 each
Which means 57,5 a day, so 2 dirt pudding.

We have 10 days and a bit left , so to give 55 we would need at least 5 dirt pudding a day.

Even if I don't sleep, or set an alarm every hour, it would be impossible to finish this quest.

I've been playing this game for over two years and I've always finished the buildings and make it to the final prize in community events.

We're either getting more dirt pudding ingredient resources before this thing is up, or the 55 puddings required is lessened..cos 55 in 11 days..uhhh...even with dedicated playing, not doable without gems. The level 5 orphanage was doable if you had a ton of inventory plus time and/or gems. Trick or Treat, kiddies!:confused:

Well actually, we get six treats per hour from the orphanage - so if you add in old Thomas and ivy, I think it's doable. But really tough.

Not even if you collected every single hour for 24 hours a day for 10 days will it add up to enough.

24x3=72 cookies
1x12=12 cookies
1 cookie from adventure =85 cookies X 10 days =850.

Even less gummy worms per day. 81 max.

10-22-15, 05:30 PM
This is pretty straight-forward. The S8 overlords have mandated that they want their player base interacting more with their games. Hence a single special building that's ready every hour instead of getting hot chocolate from a farm of cottages like last year (for example). They figure while most people may balk at spending 5-10 gems for a building having thousands of individuals spending 1-2 gems very frequently will get them as much if not more money.

We simply need to plan to spend gems to complete goals. It's not surprising that it's taking this long to fully monetize this game.

Gosh, each cookie and each gummy worm is 5 gems in the kitchen, with no option at the goal to do a mass skip. Weird!

Forget the Ancient Vault for 1 or 2 of them with the Barracks, waste of resources to me. I'd rather build up my feast supply again & spend a gem at the orphanage.

Trin5
10-22-15, 05:55 PM
Apparently 55 Dirt Puddings are needed to gain prize of 'new looking pond'. With 11 days to complete, I don't see this possible without the use of gems unfortunately. I'll need to make at least 5 DP per day but with the amount of gummy worms & chocolate cookies needed to make 1 DP, I'll be lucky to make 2 ... And that's coming from someone who plays frequently. 😢

Mikachernova
10-22-15, 05:55 PM
It is just impossible to complete in 11 days!!!! Why not 1000 puddings???? Just little bit math: we need to make 55 dirt puddings in 11 days and we need 25 worms and 25 cookies for each. It means we need to collect totally 125 cookies and 125 worms daily. Which means we should collect from Orphanage lvl5 around 45 times a day!!!!!! Ivys hut will not help much since it is ready only 2 times a day and thomas house is giving 1 cookie at a time as well as Adventure to the Ancient Vaults. Please devs pay attention to this!!!! And make a task completable!!!!!!!

10-22-15, 06:35 PM
I'm not really too worried about it. The first post did say every household is ready. So we have four other characters (minus the young ruler) that haven't started giving out 'treats' yet. The dialogue in-game said that Ivy and Thomas were just the first to get ready and that they were ready way too early. Since we can make 2 a day, that's probably all we need after the other characters step in. But if you don't get the 2 a day until the next update, you'll probably have to gem it. :(

The goal for 55 puddings says 'Give' so you can't skip. So you'd have to buy the cookies & gummies in the kitchen. 25 cookies & 25 gummies at 5 gems each comes to 250 gems per pudding. Not likely anybody's gonna buy all that for just one pudding..lol

Post #56, and I don't think there's a way to skip other than gemming through orphanage for best value. Looks like if you had all of the sugar it would take 34 gems for every 2 puddings or so. (Off the top of my head, I'll have to refine my math when I find a common denominator. Lol)

Oh wow, I see! Thanks so much for the quick responses!!

It's either 250 for a pudding in the kitchen. Or about 1000 gems for the 55 puddings thru the orphanage. That's a bit salty.

Given the fact that's impossible to finish the goal by collecting, I'm wondering what happened to the old promise that "gems will never be required to finish a goal"? I've always finished with or without gems, but it has never been so expensive I think.

PS Then again the horses were a 1000 a piece. Seems like the current pain limit.

Not to mention that even IF we had all the ingredients right now, they take 3 hours to "cook" so you could make a max of 4/day which in 11 days (what my timer says) is only 44. It's a required to have a second kitchen even to be mathematically possible!

I have the orphanage at lvl5.
Quick maths:
Sleep 8 hrs a day so max 16 hrs of gaming
Even if you set an alarm you would get:
16x orphanage= 48 of each
2x ivy = 8 worms
8x OT = 8 cookies
1,5 (if you send out both castle and barracks) = 1,5 each
Which means 57,5 a day, so 2 dirt pudding.

We have 10 days and a bit left , so to give 55 we would need at least 5 dirt pudding a day.

Even if I don't sleep, or set an alarm every hour, it would be impossible to finish this quest.

I've been playing this game for over two years and I've always finished the buildings and make it to the final prize in community events.

Spiritwind sent a message to S8 asking what the plan is since the goal as it is set out is not doable. Why dont we just wait until we hear back from her. We all agree with the math...and surely the developers can do simple math as well. In the spirit of optimism, lets assume that they have a plan....and something will change....and it better be before next Thursday because I cannot imagine any of us will dedicate this much effort for a week for potentially zero gain.

That doesn't preclude other types of goals and quests, maybe even building something new (just throwing that out there, no real reason to think that. )

First people questioned why should we upgrade the orphanage when it ends up giving nothing but XP and coins. It made sense to me then that surely more was to come. Today we found out the benefit of upgrading it. I feel the same about these circumstances... Surely there is more to come. Spiritwind has conveyed our concerns. Hopefully we will find out more soon. I, for one, won't give up now because I believe there is either more to come or they will remedy an error. ;)
If not, then I will reconsider. I could be wrong but it's the only thing that makes sense. ;)

I thought about lowering the total,but that doesn't make sense.. As much. We got 5 pudding for the orphanage. So at least 15 needed. 5 plus 1 per day of the event. The reason I don't think this will be the solution is because of the limit on the cookies. Most players like there kitchens to run together. I.e. Both making the same thing. The lower cap on the raw materials makes this difficult. S8 is not dumb or malicious.

There is the possibility that cottages and or farm houses begin to drop. But that would have to happen early to be effective. So I'm ruling that out as well. Still thinking the recipe is the most likely fix. :).

I'm going to save today and wait for a reply from S8. I just hope they had a good morning ;)

mreames
10-23-15, 05:57 AM
I can't argue with you there. Lol however, given that people are already making them, it would make more sense for them to drastically reduce the total puddings necessary. Still, that's not a bad strategy at all, for now. Lol

10-23-15, 07:09 AM
49 Dirty Puddings from now involve 400 visits to Orphanage in 11 days, which equal to 36 hours per day without gems. Let's use 300 gems, then it is needed 22.5 hours per day with PERMANENT hourly tapping, don't complain since you can sleep 1.5 hours per day. Spending 400 gems you could sleep up to 6 hours per day ;)

This comes after 55 blueprints + 65 papers + 80 fabrics, so 200 tappins in the *amazing* Orphanage for a grandtotal of 600 tappings. And the prize?? A deco? A bull**** dropping just sugar and petals? You will never know until a CM spends 800 gems from her non-ending gemchest and tell us...

Is this barely honest from S8, force us to spend gems after all the work on spooky nosenses?? Smelly, stinky, those adjetives shown in the dialogs start to seem short ones to define this all.

10-23-15, 07:20 AM
I am finding it very tedious and annoying to spend the first 24 hours of an update constantly checking the forums, trying to figure out whether S8 has once again made a mistake or whether they have gotten so ultra-greedy that they design an event that cannot be completed even by someone collecting every hour round the clock.

Sigh

My guess is that it was intended that once you completed making the first dirt pudding, that other buildings were supposed to start dropping the cookies and worms. There are 2 clues that suggest this. First, the previous goal said that "for now" only OT and Ivy were ready for trick or treaters, suggesting that others would be ready at a later point. Second, as shown in post 56, once you have the goal for giving 55 dp's, Ivy says "Trick-or-Treat all over the kingdom."

Adding additional quests next Thursday, when we are 7 days into an 11 day goal, doesn't leave enough time.

Unfortunately, by the time this is corrected, we will have lost more than half a day of collecting opportunities along with the associated energy. My guess is this was intended to be a very aggressive goal and will now be that much more difficult due to the lost time. It would seem fair if S8 would add a day to the goal at this point, and maybe even give everyone an energy crate.

I have 30+ useless blueprints in Inventory due to a bug of S8 crew with stopping this drop in time. Some players are even maxed on that rubbish. That only fact should make S8 give a crate to everyone, so they wont.

Yep...hopefully someone forgot to code that into the other buildings. Why must the players find all the mistakes & then wait for S8 to make corrections? Testing the update before it goes live would sure save everyone, S8 included, a lot of trouble. With unlimited gems & energy, testing could take all of a few minutes. This has happened with pretty much every update lately.

A few points: The prior statement that all goals could be completed without gems/$$$ was in the TeamLava era. This is now the Storm8 era and given these last few events all bets are off.

Anyone that wants to complete the pond should start speeding up their orphanage now whenever they get down to 1 gem (vs. 2 gems at greater than 30 minutes). You will save quite some gems in this process. If you wait until next week's update, whenever that may be you will still not come out ahead as you'll be speeding up the 2 gem orphanage, plus the kitchens. Remember each dirt pudding requires 4 hours to cook.

Additionally, the number to target is 50, not 55 as the prior update's final reward was a +5 dirt puddings. That makes the numbers marginally less incredulous but nevertheless it's important to take into consideration.

This isn't an error or unintentional. They likely have something much more complex than a spreadsheet and calculator that allows them to precisely determine what will be required to complete an update. In the past speeding up has been for convenience but if you were disciplined you could complete the update without gems. However, that floor has now been raised so everyone will need to pay up in an effort to increase Storm8's marginal revenue.

I've just checked in the inventory and the max you can hold of the ingredients is 55 each, so you can't particularly stockpile many of them while waiting to see if they adjust the recipe.

Pudding in my kitchen takes 3 hours to cook...but that doesn't help a thing unfortunately. It's still an impossible task.

I'm holding on to my gummy worms and cookies, not making any pudding before I'm maxed out.
Maybe they will lower the amount needed for 1 pudding
Great idea, same here. When there are glitches, really, who knows what's around the corner. Very smart.


I would t be so sure about that. As someone metioned a few pages back: The event is for lv 17 players and they dont have Sarina or Griselda yet (not sure about Thurston)
Excellent point! Forgot about that, makes me a bit hopeful :)


I'm going to save today and wait for a reply from S8. I just hope they had a good morning ;)
This is good :cool: Same here!


I am finding it very tedious and annoying to spend the first 24 hours of an update constantly checking the forums, trying to figure out whether S8 has once again made a mistake or whether they have gotten so ultra-greedy that they design an event that cannot be completed even by someone collecting every hour round the clock.

Sigh

My guess is that it was intended that once you completed making the first dirt pudding, that other buildings were supposed to start dropping the cookies and worms. There are 2 clues that suggest this. First, the previous goal said that "for now" only OT and Ivy were ready for trick or treaters, suggesting that others would be ready at a later point. Second, as shown in post 56, once you have the goal for giving 55 dp's, Ivy says "Trick-or-Treat all over the kingdom."
Agree with so much of this! I am so tired of update glitches, but thanks so much to whoever made this forum possible cos without it I'd be a bit lost with this game!

And also YES! They must have forgotten to code the game the right way after the point where we finish making the first dirt pudding! Because the dialogue is explicitly written:

"Trick-or-Treat all over the kingdom! Let's get as many ingredients as possible so we can share!"

Patience, patience I tell myself lol:rolleyes:

TeamLava was always a part of the S8 family since I've been playing. The same people are still around and involved. It's always been a storm8 login to the games and forum. They just rebranded as far as I know. I still hold them to the longstanding promise.

She has asked the S8 team about this so we will either hear from her what she finds out or someone from S8 will say something directly. This is either a mistake that will be corrected or there is more to come. If not, I'm sure there will be a mass exodus.

A few points: The prior statement that all goals could be completed without gems/$$$ was in the TeamLava era. This is now the Storm8 era and given these last few events all bets are off.

I think the original TL statement was that goals involving the continuation of the storyline would not require gems for completion, but optional goals could require gems. And I believe there was something about gem goals would not remain in our goal book, they would be timed goals that would expire. Recent examples of this are the goals to buy the Cabbage Hut and Ivy's Bakery. This Halloween goal is optional and timed so it wouldn't fall under the earlier TL statement in any case.

Of course, I'm certain that S8/TL also reserves the right to change any of their policies without notice.

Aside from the gemstone dragon eggs which were a random drop, I have never missed earning an event building through diligence rather than gem spending. Some have been near impossible but as yet none have been entirely impossible without gem expenditure. We can only hope this isn't the first. So hang in there.

However, S8 has lost a lot of trust with players and we are being asked to go on a hourly, month long, tapping journey for a reward we have no idea what it is. Is it any wonder that players baulk at this?

Accurate, disseminated information that lets players choose if they want to gem away rather than hoping multiple players spend gems blindly is by far more ethical and trust building and encourages more players to go on future journeys with you.

I'm not going to say you are incorrect. I just want to give S8 and team lava the benefit of the doubt given they have been steady non-pay to play for the past 3 years. I'm incline to believe this is just an error.

Yes, there is a lot of truth to what you're saying. I will say though, the goals that have required gems.... Like the magic fruit tree, ivy's bakery, the barracks, the cabbage hut were all short goals that required you to spend gems to buy the item directly in question. They've never had anything that required you to spend gems for a seasonal event unless you didn't accomplish it before expiration. I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt until they prove otherwise, so I think there is either an error or more to come along but I'm going to quit speculating until we hear back. Lol but I think their reputation could be damaged beyond repair if there isn't anything more to this.... After many resources were given up to get this far along.... But I don't think it'll come to that, at this time. ;)

And am I the only obe who is disappointed that the only thing to do for this new update is collecting stuff and then doing 55 times the same thing?!

I am finding a lot of the goals extremely repetitive like this lately. I have been wondering whether to pack it in, as the game has got a little boring. Everything involves days and weeks of the same collections with nothing happening between. If I see another living wood before I retire, that will be too soon!!!!

vednir
10-23-15, 10:51 AM
Based on prior experiences I would not hold your breath on any changes. This is an optional goal, the prize of which has not even been disclosed yet. While there is almost certainly already people that have completed the quests with gems they're not posting as readily any more due to other people yelling at them.

Gem speed up your orphanage every time it gets to 1 gem. Do it now or spend a lot more gems later. Or even better don't bother with this set of goals, it'll expire and you'll be rid of it.

10-23-15, 11:09 AM
I'm sort of hoping - and maybe I'm hopelessly naive here - that the impossible goal is really the 'trick' part of Trick or Treat and that S8 have got something else planned for us that will make it achievable.

I'm so sick of clicking on the stupid orphanage, and I can't bear to spend most of the next 10 days logging on and doing the same. Speeding up with gems would be no fun either if you wanted to wait till it only costs one gem. it would still involve playing the game non-stop instead of living. Not worth it.

I'm going to hang in there for the moment and keep up a reasonable level of collection - but that's going to be more like 2 puddings a day than 4.

CLOVERKAITO
10-23-15, 11:22 AM
Even two puddings per day sounds hard to achieve to me.

Assuming I can collect from orphanage 10 times a day (and that's overly optimistic since I work full time and it's not a job where I can tap my iPad hourly), that's 3 x 10 = 30 cookies and worms.
Old Thomas 5 times a day is 1 x 5 = 5 cookies
Ivy 2 times a day is 4 x 2 = 8 worms
Adventure once a day = 1 cookie and worm (like seriously? I'd think the adventures should drop at least 20 each since it does take a day!)

Tallying to 36 cookies and 39 worms a day, that's only 1 pudding a day / 3 puddings over 2 days......

They really need to have other buildings (the market for example) start dropping these cookies and worms, or like last year where you can harvest corns for candy corns to make this more realistically achievable.

60 prime cuts
30 Truffles
70 glimmerdust

Witchy Cat:
100 Truffles ( just gave 30 so have to get more then)
90 mermaid scales
100 sap
100 mushrooms (more schrooms)
50 faerie jars
30 manticore whiskers
60 dragon scales
50 mysterious venom

Not sure I even want either one for all that. Some of the items I don't mind getting rid of but LW is still being replenished, & not sure I have that much venom to be honest.

I think it depends on what each pets drops. Not going to be worth it if they only drop milk or furs like the other dogs and cats.

And I thought that's a pumpkin dog not a cat, but I could be wrong *shrugs*

I'll look again...you're probably right though....lol

Edit: You're right it's a dog. Pretty long snout for a cat...lol

thats the last screenshot of the second ios goal.

in my first game i delivered without checking what i had to give.. so i discovered now that i have all except the living wood, in my second game i don't even have a manticore yet, somehow i got 1 whisker and 10 dragonscales one way or the other.. but how on earth do i get the remaining whiskers and scales.... impossible to do that one without gemskipping..

In the goal window to make the 55 puddings, Ivy's dialogue states we can trick or treat all over the kingdom to get treats now!

Has anyone gotten anything from Sabina's, Thurston's fort, Kaz or the Troll castle? Nada for me! Not Greselda's castle either!

So hoping SW finds something out soon since its now midday on Friday in LaLa Land & no response from S8 except more trick updates....lol

Aside from the gemstone dragon eggs which were a random drop, I have never missed earning an event building through diligence rather than gem spending. Some have been near impossible but as yet none have been entirely impossible without gem expenditure. We can only hope this isn't the first. So hang in there.

However, S8 has lost a lot of trust with players and we are being asked to go on a hourly, month long, tapping journey for a reward we have no idea what it is. Is it any wonder that players baulk at this?

Accurate, disseminated information that lets players choose if they want to gem away rather than hoping multiple players spend gems blindly is by far more ethical and trust building and encourages more players to go on future journeys with you.

Apart from the dragon eggs, I couldn't complete the Mrs. Piggy goal, one of the last ones. In one mission 25 gold nuggets were required, and I only had 8 or so. (I recall using most of mine in other earlier quest( So I couldn't finish the quest, No Mrs. whatever is her name. I wasn't very interested in having another Mr. Pigglesworth, to begin with.

I'm afraid we are on our own now... According to how I work out the time in S8 land, it's 6pm.

Here are the buildings available from level 17. It might be worth having them out for when the goal get updated. Don't collect though before checking here first or you see something new in game.

Royal buildings: Conservatory, Lantern Spires, Watchtowers, Library, Observatory
Town buildings: cottage, farmhouse, market, tavern

Can't be these: Theatre is level 19. Windmill is level 18.

I seriously hope its not spires/watch towers, i had to sell nearly all mine to buy conservatorys and libraries when we've had other goals. Very vexing that stored buildings count towards the max and that quests which require collections from many of the same building often means selling other buildings that you've worked to upgrade.

Thank you for the list SW.

sorry i said your id wrong! so, you mean they refuse to change the time?

i knew you meant me! :) no, not at all, I'm just saying that the post from S8 is the only additional info they will give us. The goal must not be glitched and so the additional changes will make it attainable. SW.

Talk about cramped, all of the stuff one has pulled out of inventory to restock for the pet caravans and now a whole pile of these buildings. Time to finish off those remaining expansions I guess. Hopefully you're on exactly the right streak and we'll be able to hit up some of those buildings for worms and cookies. Although if it's like the first part of this quest it's just going to be the marketplaces with their 24 hour collection time.

Perhaps think about it this way... Main storyline you can take your time on and they don't require gems unless you want to.

Optional side events are suppose to be challenging and difficult and gem use much more widely accepted and sometimes necessary. in saying that though, plenty of players don't use gems to skip. It comes down to how much time you have to play.
Just my own personal 2 cents! :):)

My guess is Thurston and Sabina will adopt them all, once they finally get around to moving in together...

I really don't understand how we're supposed to make 55 puddings in 10 days. By the time S8 gets this sorted, we'll be down to six or seven days, which means making around seven puddings a day until the end. That's 21 hours per day of crafting, and even if you were able to collect from the places on time every hour for 24 hours, you still wouldn't be able to collect enough worms and cookies to make them.

They need to cut the cooking down to one hour, and make farmhouses spit out one or two things every 15 minutes.

Remember that you got two kitchens, so 21 hours a day of crafting actually yields 14 puddings. But you're right since we won't even have enough ingredients to pull that off with the current drops.

Good night all. There is no way I'm setting a timer to wake myself up every hour for this silliness. Right now getting 80 living woods in three days for the puppy is actually more attainable LOL I started with 24 LW in the afternoon and now I got 41...

Until now still no drops for watchtowers, lantern spires, cottages, farmhouses nor Sabina's nor Thurston's houses.

7 puddings and a half done by now and just 10 days for 48 more, so 120 gummies per day, so 100 extra gummies daily from any source and let's guess 2-3 per source. And same for cookies. At least 8 sources needed each 4 hours, up to 12 sources or 24 if a single drop...

Time is getting over and cooking time will also be a problem in few days :-/
