Cool!
Just like expected a new storybook!

Nice :)
The elements of the habitat reveal that there almost certainly WILL be earth-nature and Fire-nature breeding involved...

I wonder what level is required? I'm only level 13 and don't see anything about a Storybook. So unless there is an error, I'm guessing either level 14 or level 17.

I did and it still doesn't show up. I believe the first Storybook was available at level 14 because both animals were Dark hybrids.

S8 should increase the animal capacity of the Land of the Dead habitat from 3 to 4 since the release of the new Lionheart makes 4 skull animals. That's if anyone's lucky enough to get all 4 of course...

I think the Lionheart is a Halloween (or jack-o-lantern, however a person wants to put it) element, combined with earth.

You will have the same length of time to complete it if you started it in 2 days as you would if you started now. You just need to start by the 26th at 11:30 am in order to participate.

hmmm, wiki said level 10...sorry hun!
This one or League of Extraordinary Animals? You are right that the LoEA one was available for players 10 and up. I only mentioned The Secret of Swan Lake because that one was available for players level 14 and up, because of the Dark animals.

But considering the special habitat is Earth/Nature/Fire, and it looks like they are introducing Halloween as a type, it doesn't really make sense for there to be a Halloween/Dark animal. It wouldn't be able to go in the habitat.

If it is level 14, then I probably won't have a issue. Especially if I do Nature/Fire breeding, which I am doing, and plant a lot. If it's level 17, then that is a big disappointment.

Yes it is, but me being picky, I like to keep all the special elements in one special habitat :rolleyes: I just find it weird that they'll be split up!

Edit: Ohh! I didn't know the two elements were different, I just assumed the storybook animals were also skull animals! Whoops :rolleyes:

Just a note: At least for the first two chapters, your farms (assuming you have Grand Farms, I don't know what happens to the other kinds) don't "produce" the same things as before. There are no Charm Cherries, which is a bummer (since they produce 300 "foods" in an hour). I'll take a snapshot of what it looks like now and post it here.

I say this because, for those of you who didn't start the Storybook Challenge yet, you still have the chance to plant and harvest more food, just in case...

@ThynaSmith: ???
I just planted Charm Cherries a few times over after having started the Storybook and my overnight growing consists of Nexus Nuts. There are added "special storybook fruits" on the farms but I didn't see any fruits having been removed. Are you sure they're missing on your farms?
If so you may want to force close and reopen the app as that then sounds like a bug/glitch...

Hi ogreve! Well, the Charm Cherries don't show here... All my farms are Grand Farms. I took some screenshots with my phone, but I don't know how to post pictures here, from the mobile site. When I get home I'll post it.
It's weird, huh? What I have available, as of now, is: Aura Apples, Power Pears, Mana Bananas, Mystic Mangos, Adventurnips, Spell Mellons, Rune Prunes and Mini Pumpkins :/

Something must be wrong for you: if you look at the last screenshot, you see no 'yellow arrow' on the left, as that one shows the start of the list, however, if you look at the other two screenshots you DO see a 'yellow arrow' on the right, indicating that there are (or ought to be) fruits to the right of the Adventurenips and Mini Pumpkins. If you can't scroll that far, to see the Charm Cherries and the Nexus Nuts, you can try clicking on that yellow arrow. If that also doesn't work, not even after having force-closed the game and reopened it, then something must not be working correctly for you, in which case I'd recommend to uninstall and then reinstall the game once...

so I've hatched my cat & fed it & dropped it in the evolution flower. You guys think if I get it out of the flower before that step on day 2, it'll count? Wondering if I should wait...

In the previous adventures, raising an animal to a certain level early has always counted. Its a feeding step that must be done when that step is active.

I don't know if this was (or answered) yet, but is there a Halloween/pumpkin habitat? I know there is the new 3-element Wicked Woods habitat but is there one just for Halloween? I don't want to buy that if there is one because I currently only have 1 empty space to place another habitat so I'm moving animals around to fit Scaredy Cat for now.

There isn't a Halloween habitat. Which I'm grateful for because they'd probably ask 500k for it and I can't afford that at level 13.


So it's not an error that I can't see the Storybook Adventure. You have to be at least level 14. I should be able to get to level 14 before the deadline on the 26th, and I wasn't itching to get started on it right away anyway. So I'll just do Nature/Fire breeding and grow food to help myself level up faster.

So I'm trying to get to level 14 quickly by growing crops and breeding Nature/Fire and...I get another Skeletal Steed. That's not a complaint because it means I can keep one as a baby for as long as I like, but it's funny how things work out like that in this game. Might speed it along a bit.

Best of luck to everyone in the Storybook! I hope everyone is successful in getting the Lionheart (or to whatever Chapter one is aiming for).

It's great to see you getting the trio animals, or at least the Skeletal Steed, which may well be the most beautiful one of them all! :P

Two things:
1) A question: IIRC you cannot yet breed a Skyger before level 14, yet the Frostfang already becomes available at level 10. Now, I wonder what happens if you try to breed the Pyro Pony with the Frostfang, when you're not yet at level 14. Is that possible and will you then simply get either a Pyro Pony or a Frostfang, or are you simply not allowed to breed those two animals together then?
2) If you want to level up quickly, you may want to visit many forests, build many habitats, deploy many animals, etc. but... In S8 games I find that the (relatively) quickest way to level up is to do chain-harvesting of quick growing fruits. It appears that all of their games work like that: the quickest growing/preparing things can be done in an instant and still tend to give you 1 XP (or perhaps slightly more) per individual action. In your case, I'd calculate out how many XP you need, and then see how many growing/harvesting cycles you'd have to do of Aura Apples and/or Power Pears. And.... there's an ulterior motive for specifically recommending this route: you'd be building up your food stash that you will be needing along the lines of the Storybook anyway... When I was doing back-to-back growing/harvesting Power Pears for raising my A-team of fighters, I relatively quickly went from level 37 to 40, just because of all that food growing and harvesting. On low levels the leveling up should go MUCH faster still.
As for checking your XP count: on the iPhone iOS version of FFS you can see this by clicking on your 'level bar', but IIRC on an iPad the XP amount is (was?) not shown, but I can't check that as we never bought a replacement iPad after ours was stolen...

Good luck!

Haha, I think the Deadwing may be able to give it a run for its money :) Congrats on finishing the Skull trio, especially after how disheartening the Service Trio was for you.
1) I don't know for sure, but I've read about getting Pyro Pony or Frostfang. I'd have to try it once the Skeletal Steed is out of the breeding den if I'm still level 13 at that point.
2) Yeah, I've been growing Aura Apples for 1 XP per crop. I play on an iPhone, so no problems with checking my XP :)

Thanks, best of luck to you too!

Please don't let that question interfere with your breeding plans though on my behalf; probably someone can tell off-hand what will happen and if not, then that's o.k. too. :)
Good luck in leveling up! These quick fruits are a very good way of getting there quickly, even if it's a bit intense to go through the many growings/harvestings... :P

@SummerNightSky!! Good luck for for leveling up. The plan that Olafo has made out for you should work well and that is the best way to go. but if you still fall short of and you need to do it fast you can buy and sell Pandaffodil . Though that will not give you food but gives you 25 xp . I did that earlier when I had to quickly lvl up to lvl 15 for a goal game :) At that time I was not into the game so I found that trick quite handy , LOL

@ Olafo . Congratulations in getting your Trio!! Am happy for you and it is well deserved!!

If it is level 14, then I probably won't have a issue. Especially if I do Nature/Fire breeding, which I am doing, and plant a lot. If it's level 17, then that is a big disappointment.

yeah its level 14. On chapter 3 act 3 its breed skyger with an animal, so its definitely 14, most likely. And I'd suggest SkygerXsome earth animal because later you will need a racmoon.

10-24-15, 05:27 PM
I note that the Scaredy Cat has Hallowe'en and Nature attributes but do not see a Hallowe'en Habitat. I thought I saw one last night but none today.

I have space for one habitat. I have an Autumn habitat and animals saved from the last event. I foolishly placed a Hall of Heroes and then only had the Dalmation. I could have kept it in the Fire habitat. Can I move it back and store the habitat? I am totally full but have 4 duplicate animals. No nature spot for my Scaredy Cat but can do some juggling.

Suggestions for what habitat to place in my one empty spot. I do not have the Skull habitat yet. May not need it if I don't manage to breed any.

Thanks.

My Scaredy cat is at epic level already. When the step says "raise xxx animal to level yyy" it can be done in advance, however, if a step says "feed animal xxx yyy times" then it can NOT be done beforehand.
I checked all the steps involving the Scaredy Cat and they're all of the former 'raise' kind, so I went ahead and made mine an epic early (which gives me more freedom with the flower to plan the usage of it as needed).

I'm having some "luxury problems": expansions come very slowly and I'm still 42 runes away (after having collected the 10 runes that were a reward for step 3). I already sold one farm temporarily for housing the new habitat. I now have 3 skull duplicates that I want to keep, or at least for a while. They're currently housed in normal habitats which puts a 3 animal strain on an already overstrained forest in that respect. Now... the "breed a Skyger with any animal" step was done with the Quartz Quetzalcoatl and it gave me a 20 hour Lunar Moth timer! Excellent outcome as it's a new animal. It's going to be tough to house it without selling something I don't want to sell. It can be postponed a bit by putting it in the new Wicked Woods habitat, but that's going to be full too soon.
I checked the Storybook steps for the next few days. It should be alright to temporarily sell another farm, construct a second Land of the Dead habitat on its spot. Then, when my Charm Cherries end, on two farms I shall plant Rune Prunes, which should be enough for 80 Trick Treats, as they reportedly are 2 per hour.
With any luck I can win the tournament within a few hours and directly hatch the Jackal-Lantern so the 5 gem goal may still be active, paying for some of its hatching. The stupid Emerald has to finally go down first. :(

SuzieQ477
10-25-15, 05:20 AM
Hallo SuzieQ477, is Your answer very shure or so You only suppose this??

I'm sure about it. As ogreve said any goal that says 'raise an animal to...' can be done prior to reaching that section but not the goals that ask you to feed the animal.

I can't speak for Ogreve, but I know for myself, I plant charm cherries every hour that I'm awake during the day, and nexus nuts overnight. I tend to hoarde my food for events like this. I don't bring my animals up to epic as fast as Ogreve, and as a personal rule, I always set a level that I try not to fall below.

I don't bring my animals up to epic as fast as Ogreve, and as a personal rule, I always set a level that I try not to fall below.

Yep, that's basically what I'm doing too. Recently I made a long post about the various ways to do this, but in brief:
-6 farms that grow Charm Cherries back-to-back every waking hour of the day (which in my case is a lot of hours as I normally only sleep for some 6-7 hours or so).
-6 farms that grow Nexus Nuts overnight when I can afford it, or Spell Melons otherwise.
-I try to keep a food reserve of around 100K - 150K when no Storybook is active, so I have that handy when a Storybook does come round.
-When no Storybook is active, I tend to use "excess food" (i.e. food over the 150K food reserve) for raising animals of my likings.
-When a Storybook is active and the steps are know in advance, I level up the animals that are involved with it asap. Doing that early takes the pressure away of it during later steps when we also have to breed & feed some animal(s). At this time, e.g. I know that the next two days or so the flower is not needed anymore for meeting a Storybook step, so that time is used for evolving other animals that were already fed to the point where they can evolve. When deciding which animal to evolve, I also consult the Wikia in advance to check the evolution times. That way I can normally plan it such that evolutions can be done back-to-back without having one finish at e.g. 2 a.m.

That's pretty much it. The key is to have a forest that earns enough money to grow these expensive fruits back-to-back. If your forest doesn't allow that, matters get more difficult/intense as you then have to make use of the cheaper fruits that require more repetitions (or far longer timers) for the same amounts of food...

Excellent plan!!
I try to follow it too but have a few problems.
1. I play the game on my iPad 2, so not possible for me to carry it everywhere.
2. My forest at the moment is giving me about 70k coins per hour . To grow charm cherries on 6 farms one needs 156k . So every now and then when I have the time I do power pears . That does give me a higher amount of feed , and also saves time , but is very tedious.
I have so many super rare and ultra rare animals I want to raise to epic lvl that are lvl 10 or more . And the amount of feed required for that is humungous.
I am always doing catchup with any new storybook or event that comes up , though I want to be ahead some time in the future (fingers crossed)

Actually, my "normal breeding luck" hasn't been all that bad the past few months. I managed to breed several of the "normal limited" animals and also animals that were required for quests and Storybooks. It was mainly with the Service Dogs that NONE of the breedings gave any of the trio animals. And..... I don't seem to be particularly good at breeding ultra rares either. I only ever managed to breed a Golden Retriever. All the others have eluded me so far.
But.... I keep on trying and I hope to do a lot of that the coming time! :)

25400Hallo Kooky panda,
During Chapter 2 I breed a Skyger with racmoon and got an racmoon Heart I suppose. Now it is ready To put it into the livingtree. Means to hatch a racmoon to put it into the livingtree or put it into a habitat. Because in the last fall I can do it in livingtree to have space to breed a pyropony with another animal At Chapter 3 ????

The Racmoon has a breeding time of 9 hours. If that is the case, you need to hatch it for chapter 5. That means putting it to a habitat from the Tree of Life.

My breeding attempts for the Skull trio have not gone well, so I am slowing down my progress in the Storybook Adventure to minimize the interruption to my breeding schedule. I am currently on Act 2 of Chapter 2, although I started the adventure on time and could be as far as Chapter 3 by now. I have been waiting for a gap in breeding time to hatch the Scaredy Cat but so far of my streak of 10 straight Planters was only broken by a 10 hour Bamboon and now I am have another Planters.

I have mapped it out yet but I believe I can wait another day or two to continue the Storybook Adventure, if I don’t get the gap in breeding time that I am waiting for. At this point, I don’t really want to do Act 3 of Chapter 3 until shortly before the time to start Chapter 5 which is early Tuesday morning for me. That way I can try to breed a Racmoon to complete the Breed a Skyger and another animal requirement and not have to hold it in the nest (if successful) for the Hatch a Racmoon requirement of Chapter 5. Hopefully this will limit my wasted breeding sessions to 1 (assuming I can breed the common Racmoon) through the end of Chapter 7. I can try for the Skeletal Steed to meet the requirement to breed a Pyro Pony with another animal in Chapter 4. If I haven’t bred a Sugarskull Glider by that time, I may switch to trying for the Skeletal Steed for a while. If I run into issues, I do have a baby Racmoon I can use later on and skip the breeding step.

I know it sounds like a strange plan to intentionally fall behind completing the Adventure but I think it is my best chance to get as many attempts at breeding the Skull Trio while still completing the Haunted Horrors Storybook Adventure. I would like to hatch the Scaredy Cat so that I don’t have as many scheduling problems later on with the Evolution Flower.

I will see how well this works out.

A huge thank you to everyone who's been contributing info and compiling it for this current storybook challenge!!! I still have not started mine yet as I'm trying to build up more food first. I currently have about 66,000 food. I fear I made a HUGE mistake though! I mistakingly looked at the OP and thought there was only 7 chapters until I read the last few posts and realized there are 10 chapters. Since I didn't see any chapters that required mining, I finally used my stock of bombs to mine, trying to get enough realm runes to expand. I thought maybe we were going to get lucky again like the last storybook and not have to go mining. Now I have zero bombs and I hope the last couple chapters don't require us to in fact go mining after all! Yikes!!! Why oh why didn't I stick to my usual plan of always keeping at least 10 bombs readily available since the first storybook challenge taught me it's a huge advantage if you have bombs already! Ugh!
Good luck to everyone working to complete this storybook! Thanks again for all the guidance and info!!!!

I think there is a good chance that no mining will be required. If mining is required, S8 probably would need to expand the number of Runes that can be held again for players that have hit the expansion limit again and no one has posted anything about that occurring. I am hoping that S8 decided that mining for a Storybook is not such a good idea as they implemented it in the first Storybook and that it won't happen again until they can figure out how to avoid the issues players faced in the first one. In theory, you should be able to accumulate as many as 4 bombs per day. So you should be able to stock up well before Chapter 8, even if mining is required.

Thank you for your insight, ninasidstorm8! I was wondering the same thing, and saving my explosives for an eventual need in this Storybook. But it makes sense that no runes would be required, I guess, since there are people that have no room to expand anymore, right?

In 5 hrs, I will be up to the 'breed pyro pony with another animal'. Anyone know what we expect to breed yet? I also didn't know you could put your storybook 'on hold', to use the breeding den or nest for something else, but I suppose it's logical that you can. Probably had it confused with the cruise on RS2. Anyway, if anyone can give me a heads up what animal the pyro pony needs to go with, it would be much appreciated.

You don't have to breed it with anything specific. If you're looking for a short breeding time, pair it with nature and hope for a 3 hour fairy ferret. This is also good if you're after the second of the Skull trio.

I know it doesn't have to be anything specific, but when you had to breed a skyger with another animal in chapter 3, I was obviously hoping for a racmoon for chapter 5. I just wondered if anyone knew if we were aiming for something we needed to hatch or feed later. Just about given up on getting any of the skull trio. Just pleased I have finished the tournament, so I don't have to worry about that.

Again, thanks a million for that and for having sped ahead!
Your information helps me a lot in planning ahead.

So... It looks like no mining at all will be involved, or if there is, it will not be until acts 10.3 or 10.4. Surely one of these steps (most likely 10.3) will be to raise the Eerie Owl to epic level. The other step is likely to harvest something, or to gather "something that drops from harvesting".

My forest is really strained as it's chockfull of habitats (no decoration that can temporarily be stored for deploying habitats). I currently have 11 bombs and 28 runes. I had some hope that one of the other steps (other than the day 3 reward) would give further Realm Runes as reward...

I currently have 150K food, have the Scaredy Cat at epic level already and I'm running on 4 Grand Farms. The math is easy enough: I should have well enough food, even if I were to stop harvesting now (a thing that will not happen).
Nonetheless, I think I'll mine off a few bombs somewhere today to start working towards a new expansion. The 11 bombs I have will by average give me around 22 Realm Runes. That would then still leave a +/- 20 Runes gap, requiring around 10 bombs. I think I'll bite the bullet today and start mining. There are still enough days to re-accumulate 15 bombs if needed.

Hi,
These are the first few storylines:

* It was a dark and scary night when Scaredy Cat found herself walking in the forest, alone and afraid. Her friends told her they would meet up later in the day, but they were nowhere to be found...

* Every creek in the distance and swiftly moving shadow would cause the Scaredy Cat to freeze in fear. She wanted to be with her friends, but maybe it was a better idea to just turn around and go back home? Where were they?

* Slowly maneuvering through the forest, the Scready Cat's paw touched something on the ground... Cautiously peering through half closed eyes, she saw the forest floor was covered in miniature pumpkins. What were they doing all the way out here? Oh no, maybe there was a pumpkin monster nearby and these were its children! The Scaredy Cat skittered away through the forest in fear!

* Utterly lost and alone, the Scaredy Cat felt as if she would spend the rest of her life in darkness. It wasn't for a while, but eventually she gathered some courage to press on and not long after she stumbled upon some white seeds that caught the light of the full moon. They were pumpkin seeds, the exact kind her friends like to eat! They must be nearby!


I also captured several of the story parts in screenshots but I don't recall off-hand which ones they are...

Same here. I planted four 20 hour crops yesterday, which won't be finished for another seven hours (I planted them way later than I had intended - my plan was to have them ready this morning but I forgot). I usually plant charm cherries every hour that I'm awake, so I've lost a ton of food too. :(

Yes, a couple of us have found this out the hard way. I myself skipped ahead to the second chapter, hoping that I'd get a head of the game and be able to move on to chapter three, only to find out what you've discovered. Thankfully it was only four gems for me.

Almost beyond a doubt act 10.3 will be to raise the Eerie Owl to epic level. For act 10.4 I *expect* it to be a "Harvest this and that many XYZ fruits" or "Collect XYZ ABC from harvesting"...
But.... there's a remote chance that it's something else, like the "Gather 30 runes from mining" act that was amongst the last ones of the Swan Storybook...
Earlier today I bit the bullet and put my money on it NOT containing a mining step and I mined my 12 bombs away as I really "need" to make an expansion ASAP....

My problem is I have maxed my runes and am wondering if I should go ahead and expand or wait.????

Chapter 5 asks for hatching a Racmoon.
So I speed the remaining hours of my Halloweasel egg in the nest, put the fairy ferret to hatch and go to breed for the Racmoon with Rock Rhino and Dreambat . Now normally if I am trying for any super rare or even rare animal in the limited breedings... A Racmoon would have popped up immediately. But not this time. I get a 15 hr timer with a gargolem getting ready. So a minor yay as it gives me a new animal... But a big OH NOOOO... As it does not give me what I want... What a waste of 14 hrs..

And now I think I will have to expand or I will not get mines come tomorrow morning :(

This happens all time, it's so annoying!! This is the reason I believe it is better to use gem animals for breeding during these events (if you don't mind falling behind a bit) . There's more chance of getting the ultra rare than the silly common! That happened to me in the first storybook.

I know selling or placing an animal in it's habitat from the nest counts but I'm not entirely sure about moving it from the breeding den to the nest...

Edit: I found this confirmation in a previous storybook thread :)


For the purpose of the Adventures, hatch means moving the correct animal from the Breeding Den to the Nest or removing it from the Nest (Sell or put in Habitat). S8 is kind enough to regard either action as hatching.

Aaargh, it just happened to me too, but unfortunately it was not a 15 hour Gargolem (which is the only earth-dark animal I don't have yet and hence would be a very welcome fail), but rather it was a 13 hour Dreambat. Right before that, yet another Fairy Ferret went to the nest, so that would have left a 10 hour gap, much of which would occur during the nighttime and then there would be 13 hours breeding time + 13 hours hatching time after which I'd still have to do the Racmoon breeding at least. Not efficient at all! I saw no real other solution than to speed it all away at a cost of 16 gems. :(
Fortunately at least on the second attempt I did get the 9 hour Racmoon timer. Tomorrow morning there will then be a 4 hour gap between the den and nest times, but well, lately I've been burning gems at a far higher pace than I like, so I'll probably just sit those 4 hours out.

I didn't have any problem getting to level 14 (didn't get a chance to test out what happens if you try to breed a Skyger before level 14, as I leveled up before my second Skeletal Steed was ready to leave the breeding garden). Clearing post-expansion obstacles on the blue part of the map really helped with that. I started the Storybook yesterday, so I am now waiting for Chapter 3 to start.

Unless I find the motivation to go on a mad food growing spree, I think my goal will be to finish Chapter 9. Whereas I really wanted the Swan Prince and was very prepared going into the second Storybook (making it easy to get Wild Wondercat), I'm a little ambivalent about Lionheart and I don't know if I want to go to the effort of raising 80,000 to get the Eerie Owl to epic (+ a little bit to feed a Rainguin twenty more times).

I was waiting for a gap in breeding for the Sugarskull Glider to hatch the Scaredy Cat but neve got one. Since I started the Storybook Adventure on Friday and I am still at Chapter 2 Act 3, I decided to put my Skull trio breeding on hold to catch up with the Storybook Adventure. Following is my plan to do so. At 9:00 PM, my latest set of Planters was ready to hatch. I sold the one in the nest and held the other in the Breeding Den and put the Scaredy Cat in the Nest. I am hoping my plan will allow me to complete Chapters 2 through 5 tomorrow and be ready to start Chapter 6 on time. Following is my plan:

10-26-15 9:00 PM Put Scaredy Cat in nest to hatch

10-27-15 1:00 AM
1) Hatch Scaredy Cat and put into Evolution Flower
2) Plant 5 farms with Mini-Pumpkins
3) Move Plantlers from Breeding Den to Nest.

10-27-15 5:00 AM
1) Remove Scaredy Cat from Evolution Flower - Complete Chapter 2 Act 2 & Chapter 2
2) Harvest 5 farms of Mini Pumpkins - Complete Chapter 3 Act 1
3) Raise Scaredy Cat to level 7 – Complete Chapter 3 Act 2
4) Breed Skyger with RockRhino – Complete Chapter 3 Act 3
5) Plant 6 Farms with Power Pears
6) Harvest the Power Pears – Complete Chapter 4 Act 1
7) Feed Scaredy Cat to level 10 and put in Evolution Flower.

10-27-15 9:00 AM
1) Remove Level 10 Scaredy Cat from evolution Flower
2) Feed Scaredy Cat through level 14 and put back in evolution Flower.

10-27-15 2:00 PM
1) Sell Plantlers from nest
2) Move Racmoon Egg (hopefully) from Breeding Den to Nest.
3) Breed Pyro Pony with Pandaffodil – Complete Chapter 4 Act 2.
4) Remove Level 15 Scaredy Cat from Evolution Flower

10-27-15 4:00 PM
1) Finish collecting seeds from Harvesting – Complete Chapter 4 Act 3 and Chapter 4.
2) Complete Chapter 5 Act 1 since Scaredy Cat already at level 10.

10-27-15 11:00 PM
1) Hatch a Racmoon by removing it from nest – Complete Chapter 5 Act 2 & Chapter 5
Wait 4 hours to start Chapter 6.

I hope this may help people that have fallen behind realize thy can catch up fairly quickly.

Any suggestions?


I note that the Scaredy Cat has Hallowe'en and Nature attributes but do not see a Hallowe'en Habitat. I thought I saw one last night but none today.

I have space for one habitat. I have an Autumn habitat and animals saved from the last event. I foolishly placed a Hall of Heroes and then only had the Dalmation. I could have kept it in the Fire habitat. Can I move it back and store the habitat? I am totally full but have 4 duplicate animals. No nature spot for my Scaredy Cat but can do some juggling.

Suggestions for what habitat to place in my one empty spot. I do not have the Skull habitat yet. May not need it if I don't manage to breed any.

Thanks.

Since I could only get the dalmation, I sold the hall of heroes. I don't think you need the hall of heroes for one animal. You might be able to buy it again later, I still see it in the habitats. You can't store the habitat like you can in dragonvale.

Fortunately at least on the second attempt I did get the 9 hour Racmoon timer. Tomorrow morning there will then be a 4 hour gap between the den and nest times, but well, lately I've been burning gems at a far higher pace than I like, so I'll probably just sit those 4 hours out.
I bred my Skyger with rhino right before bed two days ago and got the Rac. I thought, "great, no chance I get another rac when the time comes." I debated keeping it in the nest until hatch time, but that would have seemed to be a waste. I hatched and placed and figured if it came down to it I would spend the 25 gems to skip but still have a baby to feed 20 times.

Well my strategy actually paid off in the form of a 16 hour Pigmy Giraffe. Now if I have to waste the gems, I don't regret. New awesome animal for me!!!

I brought my Scaredy Cat to level 15 overnight before chapter 2 started because there are no feeding steps for it and it registered no problem for the step to raise it to level 4. Such a cute little kitty! :)

I take it we still don't know the final two steps for chapter 10?

For those who have skipped ahead...when collecting the tricky treats (chapters 7 & 9), are they one per hour of food or are they double like the pumpkin seed step?

Sometimes things happen with this game that makes you wonder if there is someone watching your account and doing things to torture you (I do not believe that happens!!!). After 24 fails trying for the 13 hour Sugarskull Glider including 14 of the last 15 being 9 hour Plantlers, I needed to do some breeding for the Storybook Adventure. I tried to take care of two tasks at the same time by breeding a Skyger and Rock Rhino in order to fulfill the Breed a Skyger & any animal and the Hatch a Racmoon Acts. Of course instead of the 9 hour Racmoon, I bred a 13 hour Dream Bat.

So I was able to complete Chapters 2 and 3 earlier this morning nut I will only get through to the Hatch a Racmoon task of Chapter 5 Act 2 today. I will need to breed with the Pyro Pony next and then will need to try to breed a Racmoon. Hopefully I can catch up tomorrow instead. It was a little ambitious to try to complete 4 Chapters in one day but its a little annoying that the only thing that stopped me was breeding a common which is about all I have done for the past week.

For the purpose of the Adventures, hatch means moving the correct animal from the Breeding Den to the Nest or removing it from the Nest (Sell or put in Habitat). S8 is kind enough to regard either action as hatching.

Mine too registered just fine when I moved the Racmoon egg to the nest. The only thing I find "scary" to do is to try and complete such a step by directly selling a hatched animal off the nest. Can anyone confirm that directly selling it (without it having first gone to a habitat) does indeed also count for the goal?
Not that it matters for this particular Storybook, as we have to feed the Racmoon and Rainguin anyway, but it's a thing that has been nagging in my head for a while now...

Since I could only get the dalmation, I sold the hall of heroes. I don't think you need the hall of heroes for one animal. You might be able to buy it again later, I still see it in the habitats. You can't store the habitat like you can in dragonvale.

Thank you for your response. I now have a cleared space so not urgent to get rid of the habitat although it was a waste buying it. I only bought it expecting to get the other animals for the Hall of Heroes but had no luck and had limited playing time due to several weeks of cancer conferences and setting up Wellness Fair booths.

Just have to decide which habitat is best to buy. Not sure if it is worth buying the new Hallowe'en (3 colour) habitat which is on sale. I need to check which colour is most featured with the new animals.

I really appreciated your response. When I first started and asked a question, I would get several helpful responses right away but now often have to pose the question several times.

Wicked Woods holds Earth, Nature, and Fire animals.
I'm not sure which new animals you are referring to but here are some of them:
Scaredy Cat - Halloween/Nature
Eerie Owl - Halloween/Fire
Lionheart - Halloween/Earth
Sugarskull Glider - Skull/Nature
Skeletal Steed - Skull/Fire
Deadwing - Skull (would require Land of the Dead habitat)
Vampire Cat and Yak-O-Lantern - Earth/Fire
Frankenswine and Frightingale - Dark/Nature
Trick-or-Treent - Dark/Tree

*Vampire Cat, Yak-O-Lantern, and Frankenswine aren't technically new, they were available last Halloween (the first two were part of a World Event and that latter was a breedable animal) and are back (and breedable) for a limited time

How do you know that these are now breedable? The vampire cat and yak-o-lantern descriptions both say they are not available through breeding. I was considering buying the cat, but if it can be bred...maybe I'll try my luck.

calvinxx on these forums bred a Vampire Cat with Pyro Pony and Rock Rhino, so we know that one can be bred for sure. It doesn't really make sense to make Vampire Cat but not Yak-O-Lantern breedable, and Frankenswine was breedable last year, so it should be breedable this year.

Breeding times:
Vampire Cat - 16 hours (don't believe any permanent Earth/Fire animal has this time)
Yak-O-Lantern - 15 hours (I believe this time is shared with Magmacore)
Frankenswine - 16 hours (shared with Aurora Pegasus I think)

There is still time to collect food. If you are on chapter 6 today you still got about 4 and half days to collect food.
1. Do charm cherries farming back to back if you have enough coins.
2. To cut down on costs grow power pears, back to back , non stop, if you have the time . This is a little tedious but will give you the food at a lesser cost.
3. Over night grow nexus nuts. Though expensive , you get 4800 in 5 hrs.
When the 1st story book came out I too had a small amount of food and had to raise a lot to get the swan princess to epic lvl. And did manage to do it.
Best of luck!!!

Breeding a Skyger just gave me a 17 hour Frightingale fail... I guess it's just as well since I have a 16 hour Skeletal Steed egg on the nest now but that means another whole day lost that I could have been trying for Deadwing... Sigh...

Well, I just got my Eerie Owl and I have to think a bit about what to speed.
-The Storybook chapters start when it's 8 a.m. CET.
-The Evolution Flower has my second Skeletal Steed in it, that will finish evolving around 00:30, which is normally around the time I go to bed, so that should not require speeding.
-Tomorrow I'll need to raise the Eerie Owl to level 4. I have a queue of animals waiting for a turn in the flower, but all of them have 16+ hour evolution times. I don't want to have my flower unoccupied, nor do I want to have to wait until +/- 17:00 tomorrow before I can finally evolve the Eerie Owl.... Not good (though it would still be well on time for the Storybook timelines).
-The nest has a 15 hour Spruce Moose on it (that finishes hatching at 03:40), which was an unwelcome fail from a Frankenswine attempt and the den has a 10 hour Planther in it, that finishes breeding around 22:40 tonight.
-For tomorrow's tasks there is no need to breed a specific animal.
-I want to have a decent amount of shots at the Frankenswine before I start trying to breed out one or more Rainguins for the steps that require one (needed in 2 days from now). Keeping baby Rainguin duplicates is not really an issue, as I have an epic one already from the last Storybook, so whatever I breed Rainguin wise will eventually be sold off anyway, and having more than one should lower the food costs and usage of the evolution flower.
-Housing Rainguins IS a bit more of a challenge. My Wicked Woods habitat currently houses the Jackal-Lantern, Scaredy Cat and Racmoon, and once the Eerie Owl is hatched, that too will go in it. At this moment in time I don't know yet if the Racmoon will be needed for step 10.4, but I don't think that will be the case. If not, it can be sold, freeing a spot for 1 Rainguin. I can sell a Jackalope duplicate, freeing another spot.
-I'm currently making an expansion, but I'm running on 4 farms. I already calculated that I do not need more farms than 4 to finish the Storybook successfully (unless step 10.4 requires gathered a specific very high amount of something through harvesting, but if push comes to shove I could temporarily sell the evolution flower then, just as long as I have raised the Eerie Owl to epic level in advance). I have precious few vacancies in habitats for housing good breeding outcomes, with exception of gem animals, which I never seem to get, and of which I can still house 3. I may have to do a "just in time" construction of another habitat instead of buying a farm back once the expansion is done... Hmm.

O.k., here we go again; juggle-juggle: it looks like there are two lines of action to follow:
1) Speed-clear the nest around 18:40 (gem cost: 9), then put the Eerie Owl on the nest, have it finish hatching when when the Planther breeding finishes, hatch and feed it, get it into the evolution flower overnight, move the Planther egg to the nest and have a free breeding of my choice, being either SS + QQ (4-element breeding with limited outcomes), or QQ + dark (or dark-nature) or earth-fire-water-skull breeding for a 4-element shot at a Rainguin and the other two re-released Halloween animals....
2) Speed-clear the nest around 00:40 (gem cost: 3), then put the Eerie Owl on the nest and make no new breeding overnight. And start the evolution cycle tomorrow morning.

Option 2 saves 6 gems when compared to option 1, but it also results in 6 hours of inactive flower time and it gives one less breeding attempt, at a time when there are a gazillion of difficult animals to breed for. Hmm, I don't want to burn through my gem stash so quickly, but I still think that option 1 is the more attractive of the two. I just hope that whatever breeding I choose results in something good that I need, and not in some form of completely useless fail (which is a very realistic risk with ALL of the mentioned breeding formulas)....

Meanwhile, there's still the question of what to do when the expansion finishes... Do I buy a habitat (an 'earth' one would then be the best choice) or not... I hope we'll soon find out what act 10.4 will be. I hope we don't need the Racmoon for that. If we do need it, then I'll definitely by the habitat...

I love my Werewolf too and was so glad I won that on the wheel. In the baby stage it has a really cute 'swagger' to it. Mine is at level 4 now and is currently in the earth habitat that came along with the Solar Bear. My forest is in overdrive these days. Soon, when/if the dust settles, I'll reorder it all. My Wicked Woods inhabitants are the Scaredy Cat and the Jackal-Lantern and temporarily the Racmoon. Later the Eerie Owl shall be added to it and hopefully in a few days time the new tiger that is the main prize of the Storybook. As the Scaredy cat is only a 'rare' I *may* decide to move that to a 'lesser' habitat later, in exchange for a Yak-o-Lantern or Vampire Cat IF I manage to breed either of those. A second Wicked Woods habitat would be ideal, but buying one would render me virtually gem-less...:S

What's everyone's strategy for chapter 7, act 3, collecting 55 tricky treats? I read from 19Sparkles96 that the drops seemed random, sometimes one, sometimes two, sometimes none...I was thinking of planting nexus nuts as soon as I got to that step, and then again five hours later, hoping that ten five hour crops (which would normally drop a total of 60) would at least give me the 55 needed, and if not, then plant charm cherries the rest of the day. Anyone else planning something else? I hate to do a 20 hour crop, simply because it wastes valuable time that I could be gaining more food.

I'm currently running on 4 farms and I had wanted to plant Rune Prunes early today on 3 of them (so I can do the Harvest Aura Apples step on 1 farm), but I forgot to do so and just planted Charm Cherries on all 4 of them. I'll sit those out and shall then probably still plant Rune Prunes on 3 of the farms (so they're done some 4-5 hours after the start of the next chapter).

The last Storybook (League of Extraordinary Animals) was available at level 10...maybe force close the app and re-open it and see if it shows up?

I did and it still doesn't show up. I believe the first Storybook was available at level 14 because both animals were Dark hybrids.


SummerNightSky is correct, the first Storybook was available at level 14, because of the dark elements, the second was available at level 10 because of the water elements and this one is also available at level 14 because of the dark elements.

The Storybook Adventure is released based on the elements of the animals, the last element that is unlocked is the level available to participate on the Adventure.

That's a better idea...I've still got all six farms, so I'll plant nexus nuts over night like I usually do, harvest just one of the six farms, plant the 30 second crops to get past that, and then harvest the rest, and replant after that to be done mid-morning.

We're good to raise the Owl to epic now, correct? Considering all the steps say "raise" and not feed?

I've really enjoyed all the storybook adventures so far, and one of my favourite things is that they pretty much force us to get these animals up to epic. As someone who kind of picks and chooses what I feed and as a food hoarder for these events, it at least makes it so I get these guys up to epic in a timely fashion! :D

Two things count as "hatching" for the purposes of the Storybooks:
1) The moment you move the egg to the nest.
2) The moment your egg finishes hatching and you move the animal to the habitat (allegedly directly selling it off the nest also counts but I can't confirm that and besides, you need to feed a Rainguin anyway, so if possible it's best to keep it).

So, you can at least move it to the nest early and then let the above option 2 have it count for your goal. I just got the 5 hour timer in the den using a 4-element attempt with the Skeletal Steed + Rainguin (for having shots at a Crystal Unicorn, the Yak-o-Lantern, the Vampire Cat and Rainguins). I have a 13 hour Rampage egg on the nest. I'm going to have to think hard whether I want to sit both out (in order to save gems) and have the Rainguin egg hatch overnight. It does save gems, but it also costs me almost an entire day of breeding at a time that there are several re-released animals that MAY already disappear tomorrow again, or certainly Tuesday latest. I think I'll take my chances on not sitting this one out, and simply continue with the same breeding formula until I get a further Rainguin at a more opportune moment.
Meanwhile, any and all early Rainguin fails will be kept for now (I made sure to see to it that there are enough habitat spaces for at least 2 of them), so as to save on food and evolution times in the later steps. As I already have an epic Rainguin (from the previous Storybook) I have no desire to permanently keep more of them, so I would like to minimise the amount of food spent on them...

HTH,

2. To cut down on costs grow power pears, back to back , non stop, if you have the time . This is a little tedious but will give you the food at a lesser cost.
3. Over night grow nexus nuts. Though expensive , you get 4800 in 5 hrs.
When the 1st story book came out I too had a small amount of food and had to raise a lot to get the swan princess to epic lvl. And did manage to do it.
Best of luck!!!

Thank you, I've been growing farm cherries back to back but running out of coins only got 1k left and have 37k food so don't think I will make it to epic level to get the lion. I hope I could though

Try switching to back-to-back Power Pears growing as many hours per day as you can; it's a b*tch to do (trust me, I know, been there-done that) but it's very cheap to do and when done properly on 6 farms, per hour it gives you a theoretical food quantity of 2400 (in practice a bit less due to harvesting and planting overhead) vs. the 1800 food obtained with Charm Cherries, and the cost is dramatically lower...

Incidentally: so far today 1 hour of Charm Cherries has equaled precisely 1 tricky treats. If there's any randomness to the amount, I have yet to see it, but... in 2.5 hours my three farms with Rune Prunes should be done and then I can tell this more precisely.

I did what I had planned and harvested five of the six Nexus Nuts after I did the six 30 second crop. From those five, I managed 38 tricky treats. I was going to plant more Nexus Nuts but decided to stick with Charm Cherries during the day to complete the step.

Two things count as "hatching" for the purposes of the Storybooks:
1) The moment you move the egg to the nest.
2) The moment your egg finishes hatching and you move the animal to the habitat (allegedly directly selling it off the nest also counts but I can't confirm that and besides, you need to feed a Rainguin anyway, so if possible it's best to keep it).

So, you can at least move it to the nest early and then let the above option 2 have it count for your goal. I just got the 5 hour timer in the den using a 4-element attempt with the Skeletal Steed + Rainguin (for having shots at a Crystal Unicorn, the Yak-o-Lantern, the Vampire Cat and Rainguins). I have a 13 hour Rampage egg on the nest. I'm going to have to think hard whether I want to sit both out (in order to save gems) and have the Rainguin egg hatch overnight. It does save gems, but it also costs me almost an entire day of breeding at a time that there are several re-released animals that MAY already disappear tomorrow again, or certainly Tuesday latest. I think I'll take my chances on not sitting this one out, and simply continue with the same breeding formula until I get a further Rainguin at a more opportune moment.
Meanwhile, any and all early Rainguin fails will be kept for now (I made sure to see to it that there are enough habitat spaces for at least 2 of them), so as to save on food and evolution times in the later steps. As I already have an epic Rainguin (from the previous Storybook) I have no desire to permanently keep more of them, so I would like to minimise the amount of food spent on them...

HTH,
Olafo

Thank you! I was worried that moving it to the nest too early would then not count towards the goal - as long as it's just hatching, I can at least have a crack at breeding for the trio in the meantime!

I appreciate your reply, thanks again :)

My first farm with Rune Prunes gave me 30 Tricky Treats. I wonder if that then really means an average of 1.5 per hour. The other farms no longer showed the exact amount as harvesting from the second farm pushed the count beyond the 55 border after which the big "step complete" screen appeared. For those who still have to do this step I can recommend to pick something with an even amount of growing hours.

From my five crops of Nexus Nuts, I got 38...six crops of Charm Cherries gave me 7, my second round of six Charm Cherries gave me 9.

It seems as if my luck gas finally bottomed out and is on the rebound. After falling a couple days behind in the Haunted Hollows Storybook waiting for a gap in breeding to hatch the Scaredy Cat, I shifted my focus to catching up. I had a good plan to catch up in a day that was foiled when I bred a Dream Bat for the Breed with a Skyger step rather than a Racmoon. I caught up late yesterday and waited one breeding session for a gap to hatch the Barn Owl but only managed a 1 hour gap for the following day. So I put a hold on breeding and hatched the Barn Owl before I went to bed last night and put it into the Evolution Flower and planted some Nexus Nuts. Then I mined for a few Runes and expanded to the Solar Bear.

This morning, I harvested one farm and used it to complete Chapter 7 Act 1 to Harvest Aurora Apples 6 times like many other players. I moved my Eerie Owl from the Evolution Flower to complete Act 2 and then harvested the rest of my farms for the Tricky Treats. Since I normally plant Charm Cherries when I can, I have planted and harvested two more crops and now need 1 more Tricky Treat to complete Act 3 and Chapter 7, which I just collected. I also fed my Eerie Owl and its back in the Evolution Flower.

About a half hour after the first harvest, my latest breeding failure was ready to hatch, so I sold it off the nest and made my 27th attempt at a Sugarskull Glider. Lo and behold, it finally happened, a 13 hour timer appeared. The first of the Skull trio I have managed to breed. Later this evening the Sugarskull Glider will be ready for the nest and then I will try to breed a Rainguin before starting to breed for the Skeletal Steed.

It looks like breeding a Rainguin to hatch is the only step left in the Storybook Adventure that I cannot control, so it should be smooth sailing from here on.

Was lucky enough to breed a Racmoon on the Skyger breeding step. Already have a baby Rainguin from the Swan Princess storybook, so I may skip that hatching step with gems if I don't get another one.

I like starting this a bit later, it makes it easier to plan ahead. Just finished chapter 4 today. Thank you to everyone for posting the info as it becomes available and to matiasabad for creating such a helpful first post with all the feeding info. :)

I strongly suspected it would happen, but now I think I have even better reason to believe that my game has been made unable to breed a racmoon. I've been stuck on the step for a while and have bred two dream bats (rare) and two gargolems (super rare). Add to that, I have been unable to breed the sugar skull glider or the steed .....

I wish Zen was here to commiserate.

Theoretically, if you plant back to back Power Pears, you can grow 2400 food an hour! Give or take delays in clicking and such, probably at least 2000 an hour if you're constantly watching it. It's a bit tedious, but I used this method to grow enough food for the first storybook successfully!

I did a bit of math, and if you manage to grow around 2000 food an hour with power pears, it would take 17 and a half hours to grow 35000 food, so it would be possible in 2 days if you spent most of your time on it. It depends on how much free time you have/want to spend on it. Good luck!

Some advice from someone who has been there and who has done that for back-to-back epicking some 5-6 super rares, including the Treent which also took the food amounts of an ultra rare. My trick was to hook up my phone to a powersupply, disable the screen blank out function (or set it to something like 15 minutes, so your screen is on), do something fun in parallel (doing stuff on a computer or watching TV or so) putting the phone in such a position that it's within your view (I prefer to have it visible in the left corner of my left eye, while doing stuff on the computer) and have the screen such that your farms are visible. If done correctly, in a not all too obtrusive way you'll see the red apples pop up, after which you can do another harvesting-planting iteration, and so on.

Trust me, doing it this way prevents you from throwing your device against the wall after some 2 hours or so; if you were planning on spending some 8 hours per day dedicated to this when actually letting your device have your full attention you'll go crazy; this would have perhaps been some kind of torture that the Spanish Inquisition could have come up with, had they had iPhones at that time. ;)

Good luck my friend, you CAN do it. With the above procedure I sat through 2-3 weeks of about back-to-back food growing like that for an estimated 10+ hours per day (a thing I could only pull off as my work is with computers; otherwise I wouldn't have made it).
Might I add that that was when one of my top priorities in the game became to start working asap on a forest that has a high hourly coin income. :P

Ultra Rare animals pretty much act like other animals in terms of breeding, though since this one has a special element, I don't think it will be able to breed. The real great thing is that Ultra Rares are excellent in tournements and battlefields as they are the highest rarity and give you a better chance at criticals (with proper type matching). With this ultra rare having a unique element, it could be very useful in tournaments down the road! Though ultra rares also cost a lot of food to feed, so it can take a while to get them to epic.

Oh no! I wanted to try one more time for Deadwing overnight before breeding for Racmoon tomorrow and... got my 4th Skeletal Steed! Another 16+16 hours wasted. And I haven't gotten a super rare for a while so there is a big danger of getting another Gargolem trying for the Racmoon. That would be the worst! I wish there was no limited breeding coinciding with the Storybook.

I'm doing pretty well in the Storybook so far: got a Racmoon my first try. I just need to suck it up and accumulate 10,700 more food so I can get my Scaredy Cat to level 15 (I've been pretty lazy regarding growing food). But I want that Eerie Owl, and thankfully not a lot more food is required to complete up through Chapter 9 (my goal).

Now if only all the Aura Apples I'm growing would attract a Vampire Cat to my forest ;)

Excellent, thanks a million for that!
This is truly great because the steps of the last day will force me to think a bit about the planting/harvesting strategy.

Currently I'm running on 4 farms and in less than 2 hours from now the flower is freed and I can send the Eerie Owl into it again for its last evolution. As I managed to breed a third Rainguin just now with the 4-elements formula skull-fire-earth-water, and as I now thanks to you know that the Racmoon will not be needed anymore, I can simply sell the Racmoon and use all three of the Rainguins for meeting all of the Rainguin feeding steps at minimum cost. Up until the overnight moment comes up before chapter 10, I can then sell the flower, put a 5th farm back in its stead, plant Pumpkins on 2 or 3 farms and Rune Prunes on the other ones (properly timed so they can be harvested after the other steps of Chapter 10). I can simply use 2 Rainguins for chapter 10.2, so I don't have to evolve a Rainguin. Nice! :)

Thanks a lot again, I think I can speak on behalf of everyone here that your speeding actions and sharing of the information are greatly appreciated. Maybe we could all gem-gift you back. I have read that the maximum amount of gems that someone is allowed to receive is 20 per day. Maybe we could take some turns. I did sent a friend invite to you (coming from a forest called 'Diggy') if you accept it I can dock my fixed gem buddies one gem tomorrow and send it to you... This can even be done for a few days or so...:P

I haven't thought it fully through, but I'll likely plant the mini pumpkins overnight (accounting for a huge food loss for me, but it will be fine), and then plant nexus nuts. On six farms, I should get 30 seeds when they're done, and then plant them again, for a total of 60. Then it'll be charm cherries for three hours to get me to the 75 mark. So this step for me can be done in about 12.5 hours. Even if I plant charm cherries all day, it can still be done.

Actually, to be on the safe side I'm taking into account that we may get only 1 seed per farm/hour. What I'm going to do is to advance plant Rune Prunes on 2 of my farms, such that when the moment comes to gather the seeds I should get at least 40 from them. The Pumpkins will then have to be gathered in 2 iterations, ideally before the Rune Prunes end. The first iteration can be done overnight and the second one right after the first set has been harvested AFTER chapter 10.1 has started. Then, 3 hours later the second iteration will be done and after that, there are the steps 10.2 and 10.3. I do not need to evolve a Rainguin, but for those who have to do to I recommend to do that after feeding it for the chapter 9 steps already, so they don't lose precious time/gems by having to let the Rainguin evolve!
Then, after that, 10.3 will be instantly done for me already as my Eerie is at this moment evolving to epic level already, so all that's left to do then is to harvest the Rune Prunes, which should take care of at least 40 of the seeds and then after that (if still necessary) simply growing something on the farms that will give the remaining amount of seeds. When done like this, you can be on step 10.4 in about 3 hours after the start of chapter 10. And, it's easier if you have 6 farms (currently I only have 4 but plan to temporarily have 5 before chapter 10 starts).
This way there should be no need to spend any gems on it and it should give ample time to complete everything...

First attempt for a Rainguin = Iciclaw. Of course, I knew I couldn't get both Racmoon and Rainguin first try.

Actually, to be on the safe side I'm taking into account that we may get only 1 seed per farm/hour. What I'm going to do is to advance plant Rune Prunes on 2 of my farms, such that when the moment comes to gather the seeds I should get at least 40 from them. The Pumpkins will then have to be gathered in 2 iterations, ideally before the Rune Prunes end. The first iteration can be done overnight and the second one right after the first set has been harvested AFTER chapter 10.1 has started. Then, 3 hours later the second iteration will be done and after that, there are the steps 10.2 and 10.3. I do not need to evolve a Rainguin, but for those who have to do to I recommend to do that after feeding it for the chapter 9 steps already, so they don't lose precious time/gems by having to let the Rainguin evolve!
Then, after that, 10.3 will be instantly done for me already as my Eerie is at this moment evolving to epic level already, so all that's left to do then is to harvest the Rune Prunes, which should take care of at least 40 of the seeds and then after that (if still necessary) simply growing something on the farms that will give the remaining amount of seeds. When done like this, you can be on step 10.4 in about 3 hours after the start of chapter 10. And, it's easier if you have 6 farms (currently I only have 4 but plan to temporarily have 5 before chapter 10 starts).
This way there should be no need to spend any gems on it and it should give ample time to complete everything...

You've given me something to think about...I have all six farms and might do Rune Prunes on three of them, giving me 60 seeds when they are ready, and use the other three to do the pumpkins over the course of six hours in the morning. If I had three pumpkins ready to harvest right after the start of the chapter (requiring me to stay up until 1:00am), I could have the other three done early morning (which would still leave me with some down time). I have my baby Rainguin ready to feed, and a level 13 Rainguin that I can feed in order to avoid having to wait for evolving time. My Owl will be epic in about half an hour, so that step will be complete, then it will just be Charm Cherries to bring me up to the 75 seeds.

Hallo ogreve,

It depends on how many Rainguins you have and/or what level they have.
I now have 4 baby Rainguins waiting for the various feeding steps so I have plenty of them and don't need to evolve any of them as you can use multiple Rainguins (it doesn't have to be precisely 1 Rainguin).

That's why I wrote that I at least don't need the evolution step...

Or if you have 1 ranguin then you feed it for chapter 9 evolve it and then when chapter 10.3 comes you just feed it at level 4? That avoids having to evolve it at level 3

Took two tries for the Racmoon and now two tries to breed a Rainguin. Didn't really matter for the Adventure since I am now waiting to start Chapter 9 but it has cost me a few breeding tries for the Skull Trio (I now have 1, a Sugarskull Glider).

Wow, 80,000 food just to get the owl from 10 to 15! I have a little over 2days to go and I need about 25,000 more food. It will be close 'cause I don't want to use gems for food. I have only one grand farm, the other 5 are the big farms. Never have the space to make other farms bigger. Fortunately I just bred 2 rainguins in a row so I will sell more evolved ones and feed these two babies for little cost. That's so much food that could've gone toward evolving others but I do want the final lionheart.

Second attempt is a Glacial Griffin. If the next fail is a Sapphire Cthulhu I won't be surprised.

Hello LonePudding or get Pearl Peryton. I've been so lucky with the breeding for Racmoon, Rainguin, both at 1.Versuch. Good luck to you

Hello LonePudding I have the storybook started immediately when it came out. I can not Lionheart put into a habitat. I am on the limit again with the habitats

Yes a pity that he does not open his wings from time to time, so that the inner face is also seen. Please change the TL

Mine doesn't, which is a shame to not get to see the chest in the forest! When he battles, he does open wings and laugh. It is actually disappointing since the Cat throws a green pumpkin. I wish he opened his wings and a yellow pumpkin shot from his chest as he giggles.

EDIT/UPDATE I just used the Cat and owl on the battleground. Now they both have a multi-color pumpkin that shoots from them. Much prettier, but the lack of movement by the Owl is still disappointing.

Now that you mention that he doesn't spread his wings, when I look at him, it seems like he's wearing a bathrobe. I do think he's beautiful, but it would be nice if his wings opened up while he's walking in the habitat.

About chapter 7: which fruit is better to use I to reach target collect tricky treat more quickly? Cherry give me 2 tricky treats for 1 hour and for 5 hour how many tricky treats can give me a different fruit?

Not sure of how much money you have, but back to back charm cherries with nexus nuts overnight would put you close and it has been shown that power pears can give up to 2400 food per hour if watched constantly. It is going to be close on my second second account as well, but it is doable.

thx , but i'm a little bit confused : the last act asks for 75 seeds ? since we have to harvest mini pumpkins in act1, that means we have less than 24h to get the seeds. unless 1h crops gives more than 3 seeds, it is impossible without using gems ! :confused:

An added complication (especially in UK/Europe) is that the games will be down for a couple of hours tomorrow morning, which coincides with my day 10 :(

You're so right. It looks like a bathrobe. He opened his wing occasionally when he was under level 10, but since getting him to 10, all he does is walk around. Usually S8 does great animation with creatures with wings but not with this owl. please change if possible.

I really loved the detail on the inside of its wings, I hope S8 change it.
