Thanks for posting, now I know to work on more paste and Royal beams when I can.

this list is inaccurate . you don't need that many beams. level 8 needs 2 pastes and only 4 royal beams

@Korlcek, thank you for the information! Visiting level 5 watchtowers or lantern spires 120 times is not possible for me; I only have two, and I don't want to use up resources to level-up a bunch of them. I'm actually wondering if the 120 is a mistake; maybe the number was meant to be 20, and someone fat-fingered it?

Was it really supposed to be 120 visits to level 5 towers/spires?

yes it is :(

yes it is :(

I was asking any S8 employees involved in the planning of the event that might be following this thread. I understand that's what is currently listed in the goal, but I am curious if that is what was intended.

colosseum level 9 needs: 24 ea mason tools, 2 builder's pastes, 4 royal blocks
Level 8 GIVES 41 crests and 2-4 ea mason tools

fourth prize costs 3,200 crests

What! 120 visits to level 5 watchtower/spires!

Geez, I wasted a lot of my resources building new ones, no way I can get them all to level 5.
Will have to skip this one as well.

if we don't complete the x18 visits to level 5 taverns and such, does it mean that we can't complete the whole event? I know it says they're timed and I guess kind of stand alone quests buuut they're listed as required? idk, I'm starting to think this is a liiiiittle impossible!!

Wow, this Thread became really confusing...
Some say you need Royal Blocks for upgrading the Colosseum, others write about Royal Beams,...
SInce I am short on Silver, I will prepare only very few, before I reach this Part (if ever...), so I Won't have the wrong ones

IS it already clear if the watchtowers / lantern spires really have to Be Level 5 for the Separate 3-day-Goal?
MAybe somebody could post a picture of this Goal?

Or S8 started with individual Goals for every player in this Event 

It cannot be a required goal, because it has a different timer than the event itself: it would make no sense for a required goal to expire 19 days before the event ends (I saw a screen flash up that said "required" while it was loading, but it looked like a glitch to me). It's a side-quest to earn extra building materials, nothing more.

There's no way I can do the 120 watchtower thing, so I'm just not going to worry about that part. I may get the tavern visits done, but if I don't I'm pretty sure I'll still be able to build the collesseum.

Awww man. So watchtowers have to be level 5?! I wish I'd known before I built an extra 10. lol
I still have a while before I reach that side goal so I can try to upgrade them but this will definitely deplete my storage.

Also the drops from my level 4 colosseum are now increased and uneven. I get more hammers than chisels (not sure how many) but more than one of each.

Is there a skip option on visiting 120 level 5 watchtowers/lantern spires? I don't have enough level 5 to finish this one. I bought & built several more, but don't think I can get them to level 5.

I'm also ignoring the side goals.
And will also ignore the final main goal if I manage to collect 5600 crests in time.
Will not give 5 hearty feasts unless I need that extra 150 crests to reach the final prize.

No the trolls do not count for this part unfortunately. I tried it again and yes they do count. I'm surprised.

riverly
05-23-16, 07:31 AM
Concerning uneven drops- this is not surprising. I expected it really. I am saving my resources for the collesum and not for upgrades to towers and spires. I'm letting the hammers and chisels fall where they may. I'm a level 50 player. Imo I think lower level players are automatically locked out of the side quests without the use of gems. That is just my opinion.

I agree with you. I'm not going to be doing the 120 watchtower quest either. I think that one is way over the top. Way to many resources to upgrade that many to level 5 only to delete them later if another quest comes along with different royal buildings. I think building the coliseum will be doable without this side quest.

Also, can we please get a clarification about the Naga Altar post-event? Will it be a useless deco with no drops at all? 500 gems for a deco (although pretty) is not a good deal.

Ludicrous! Bad enough having to check 120 watchtowers in 3 days but just plain ridiculous for them to have to be level 5. Wish I hadn't just got myself 10 new ones and wasted the resources on building them. I'm joining the skipping crew.

I'm glad to know others are seeing the "required" dialogue. Was beginning to think I was in a parellel universe.

Does the "required" dialogue also show up with that crazed 120 watchtower side quest?

plby
05-23-16, 08:23 AM
The challenge "tool bar" is required, timed for three days, and pops up immediately after you reach level 4 on the colliseum. It requires:
100,000 coins
1 level 5 tavern
18 visits to level 5 tavern

Given the long recharge time for taverns, better have more than one.

This is required. A separate dialogue screen came up with that single word.

I know someone posted it wasn't required. Spirit wind, clarification, please?

Noticed the separate dialog screen with REQUIRED, capital letters and all, as well. If a timed goal during a community event really is required that's a first, and this one is pretty much impossible to do as well... that's without spending gems, obviously...

I'm curious to see if someone has the 3-day quest expired without completing it is still able to do the main quest... Since it is 3 days, but with the word "REQUIRED", it's really confusing me. In past events, if it is a timed side goal and has no effect to our main goal progress, there will be a sentence in the dialogue above the quest, also in capital letters, pointing out that for us. In these goals' dialogue, there's none.
I may collect enough things for all the individual prizes and lv.10 Colosseum, but it's impossible for me to do these side goals even when knowing things ahead. I think low levelled players who don't have enough materials stocked will be on the same side as me. :(

Side goals aren't required. As long as the main event is on going everyone can continue to tha last minute. This "Required" flashing is IMHO a trap, make players get panicky and spend gems! :rolleyes:
Not surprised S8 would do it.
I am skipping all of the side goals and playing, business as usual, in my kingdom.
What is left of the energy ( if there's anything left) I use for the crests/Colloseum. at a snail pace, since am not at all interested in this "event" ! :rolleyes:

Radegast1
05-23-16, 10:33 AM
Would suggest that anyone doing this event take the total crest needed for Naga ( reported as 5600) subtract out the number you already have and then divide that number by the days remaining to get the number of crest needed per day. This way once you get your minimum for the day you could go about business as usual. There is no reward for finishing quickly. Good Luck

Excellent suggestion, remember that the colosseum will drop more crests per collections as it levels up, making things easier as we move along.

For me that averages to around 239 per day. I'm not sure it's doable normally wo gems.

No it does not. Whomever reported that was incorrect. Mine is level 3 and still drops one each per collection.

EDIT: nvmd. I read that wrong. Its one each of the things to upgrade. No clue how many crests it drops.

Need 198/day. Will see how far I get without gems( on gem strike since Aligate ). I will save my remaining gems for the tent, and just play with whatever gems I win. I have lots of farmhouses, 2 lvl 5 taverns, but will skip the side goals, too unrealistic.
I must say that last fiasco has fundamentally changed my game play. If I get that Naga statue fine, if not, fine,too. ( just like with the Leaderboard ) And my sanity and wallet are better off for it.

If the goal is visit towers 120 times

You would need 15 towers

The limit on towers is way less than 15, so no one could do this goal without gem speeding

I dont see how they can seriously think clicking on 120 watch towers is a reasonable goal. It would be a reasonable goal without ALI-gate, and only for those people with so many extra energy a day they could sell all possible town buildings to build many many watchtowers. The tavern goal is stretching it far too, but the watchtower is crazy. For the measly drop reported of one item? nah. crazy.

05-23-16, 01:17 PM
This was posted earlier, but some information was inaccurate. I wrote everything down.

Upgrade the collesseum to level 6 requires:
40 cow hide
3 Royal beam
12 hammer
12 chisel

Upgrade to level 7 requires:
30 fur
3 Royal block
18 hammer
18 chisel

The fifth goal includes:
Visit 20 community kingdoms (I'm assuming these can't be neighbors)
Serve 5 hearty feasts
Upgrade collesseum to level 10

Fifth goal rewards:
2400 coin
7xp
150 crests

Haven't got there yet. Reluctantly upgraded my 3rd tavern to level 5 so that goal would be easier. But 120 visits! I agree. That's insane! Is it really only a reward of 1 each (hammer and chisel)? If so wish I hadn't wasted resources on upgrading the tavern.

My tower refresh time is 4 hr. Because I like my sleep, assuming 4 collections a day, roughly 8am, noon, 4 pm and 8 pm, three days is 12 collections per tower. Thus 10 towers will give 120 in three days. Achievable for higher level players, impossible for lower level players. Hoping requirement will be less for lower level players.

How many crests required for the end goal prize? 1600 for the 3rd prize seems excessive! I play Dragon Story a bit and the last community event changed. Required a huge amount to reach the individual goal. Made it so that it was pretty much impossible to attain without spending gems. Meaning I didn't get it! And with continued diligent game play I was always able to reach the end goal. Seems like the same tactic for this community event. Surely hope not.

Sorry your maths are wrong. There are 3 days for this goal, so 120 divided by 3 divided by 8 equals a theoretical 5 towers. Of course this would leave you a little short because of the few seconds it takes to tap.

Realistically having 8 towers and collecting 5 times a day or 10 and collecting 4 times will do the trick.

I'm going to have a go, but don't know if I can get the resources to upgrade to level 5 in time.

ashley224
05-23-16, 01:42 PM
Yes but those 10 towers need to be level 5...

Yes they do, as a long term player I had 7 level 5 spire and towers from previous challenges and upgrading between challenges. Only built 3 more with inventory stock. As I said achievable for higher level players, hoping they are asking less of lower levels...

I have multiple incomplete buildings from when I was starting out and before I knew about the forum to help. I made the choice not to do all the side goals and when to use gems or not to use gems. It was frustrating at times. Each player must choose the path that is right for them.

Try not to complete the goal, not sure which one, that causes the Watchtower side goal to appear unless all your towers are ready for collection.
This will give you a quick bunch of towers while not using much time

Tower refresh time is 4 hours, maximum of 6 clicks if done by alarm. But 4 clicks a day times 3 days times 10 towers would just make 120.
5 clicks a day easily possible. For example: 7am, 11am, 3pm, 7pm, 11pm. This would work with 8 towers. Intensive but possible without gems.

I've never been a fan of watchtowers/spires and never built more than necessary for the storyline. I guess I'm out with this sidequest because I don't think the reward is worth the upgrade of 9 watchtowers to lvl5, especially because of the royal beans and blocks.

I'll update posts 1 and 2 as soon as I can. I will check on the side goals too.

Crest requirements too? Through end of goal. And reward amounts for side goals? Thanks so much.

I dont see how they can seriously think clicking on 120 watch towers is a reasonable goal. It would be a reasonable goal without ALI-gate, and only for those people with so many extra energy a day they could sell all possible town buildings to build many many watchtowers. The tavern goal is stretching it far too, but the watchtower is crazy. For the measly drop reported of one item? nah. crazy.

And they all have to be level 5

I've added lots of player posts to the front page until I can get to a PC later in the day. I've asked 3 things to S8: about Side goal numbers etc; altar post event; and wording about 'required' on goal screens.

Number of crests info comes from us, and given there's only one number missing now, and they're the same (from memory) as in last event, it safe to assume it's around 3200. But need a player to please post and confirm.

Some of this math seems suspect. I now have 8 spires/towers. If I collect from them five times in one day ( 8, 11, 2, 5, 8) that's 40 collections. Do that for 3 days and it's exactly 120. Or is my math bad?l

Sorry 4 hour collection so a little harder but still doable: 7, 11, 3, 7, 11.

Of course I have no life and I'm not above shortening that last collection time with one of my hoarded gems. Heh heh

Watchtowers are every 4 hours - 8, 12, 4, 8, 12

As long as each of those towers are level 5 your math is good. 8*5=40. 40*3= 120.

This just boggles the mind that a level 17, or even level 50 like me, could ever accomplish this goal. I have but 4 level 5 spires & towers so it's completely impossible for me.

*** SW or Kooky:
Can you ask the developers is this actually supposed to be 120 visits to level 5 spires & lanterns?

I never trade in the royal exchange unless I'm almost full of everything that I'm trading. One never knows what will be needed in a challenge.

I normally wouldn't either.
But was doing some forward planning thinking I needed a lot of royal beams. And since I had exhausted my wood building those useless towers, thought I'd get a beam or two using the trapper trade.

I'd like to remind players that if they choose to speed up buildings using gems, it is typically 1 gem per half hour or part of a half hour. therefore 2 gems per hour, 3 gems per 1.5 hours etc. if you are close to the half hour or half hour multiple ie 1 hour and 2 mins which would be three gems, waiting 2 minutes brings it down to 1 hour which is only 2 gems. Speeding the last half hour 4 times is the same gem equivalent as speeding up 2 hours. This would apply to the colosseum, watch towers and spires. Taverns are different amount but same principle.

With the correct information poster later on, found out that I didn't need the fancy beam/s to make more royal beams as I already have enough royal beams.

It showed up for me when I upgraded the collesseum to level 6, I think. SparklyOctopus said (s)he (sorry, not sure) was notifying the team of the goal. I hope that means the 120 visits to level 5 towers was a mistake!

That's were I was too, I was at my total limit of royal buildings. I looked over what royal buildings I had and chose to sell three level 1 conservatories to allow me to buy three more towers. Thinking of the future, I balanced 5 towers with 5 spires. If you sell existing buildings to buy different ones be careful, one time I accidentally sold several of my level 5 buildings instead of the level 1 buildings. It was a big oops!

Thanks for checking on it for us, I'll pass on it. I think they need to rethink something like this. I know it's supposed to be challenging. This is beyond a fun challenge. I could see maybe 60. The resources involved for a side quest should be do able for everyone. There is no way lower levels even have a chance. Maybe the team should try these quests out before launching them.

This 120 Level 5 Watchtower visits is just silly. I'm completely full on almost everything so it would be so, so easy for me to sell my endless other buildings from a past event and buy and level up a bunch of watchtowers. But why? What is the point? The goals used to have a point, but now, the only point I can see is to annoy long-time players who are required to do a bunch of mindless tasks over and over or force newer player to purchase gems if they want to complete. It's sad...

There is a maximum number of the different types of buildings allowed. The tavern is a town building. To see the other buildings in this grouping , go to the market and select the town building tab. Most likely you have a lot of farmhouses or cottages. If you sell one or more of these then you will be able to buy more taverns. If for example , you chose to sell some cottages, make sure you sell your lowest level cottages.

You will have to sell one of these if you have multiples of any of these in order to get another tavern.

Yeah, to spring a quest like that on the community....there's no way unless it's gem skipped...which is most likely the intent, that's the only thing I can figure. I mean, how many people playing actually have enough buildings to actually make an attempt to pull that off? And even if we had all of our supplies maxed, we wouldn't be able to build enough towers to pull that off. Not mad, just boggled. Someone got added to the team who is one greedy son of a ***, lol....

SW, can you please find out why the buildings that have a higher recharge time, such as marketplaces, taverns, watchtowers, are generally only giving 1 crest this time, instead of the multiples they've always given in the past? Is this an error? Or is this the new way they are doing things?

Yes. I really hope I'm wrong. Haven't done the math on number of drops from colliseum compared to other event. At first glance it seems comparatively equal. But not sure. I've just lost my trust and enthusiasm with S8. Sorry to bum others. Just wanting those with lower resources to not be disappointed. I just hope to at least level up the colliseum to max level.

It doesn't seem right that the marketplaces just give 1 gem. For people who work, collecting from buildings with lengthy timers works better. We can't collect every 10 minutes.

Tell me about it! I think I'm a freaking idiot for starting this. On vacation. I have 2 CS accounts. Literally, finger glued to tapping farm houses. There used to be a drop of 1-5 items from marketplaces and other buildings. So this is really not good. Why???? Getting very angry about this game I've become addicted to and love.

500 gems for a deco only after the event ends! Crazy price! And 5600 crests to get the final prize. The last useless deco was the 400 gem Glimmeregg Forge and the last community event final prize was at 3200 leprechaun coins. I understand that it should be challenging and fun. But no not fun. The Naga Altar should only be at 50 gems like someone has mentioned. And longer timed buildings should give more crests for people with work to be able to have a chance to finish too.

Especially High???? This is absolutely insane. I'm a 3 year plus Level 50 player. I had 3 Level 5 Watchtowers and 4 Level 1. I built 3 more Level one and I'm at my limit for Royal buildings. In the past visiting lower level buildings was enough. With the limited space we have, all the watchtowers had been in storage.

I checked the Hub to see what would be needed to raise the 7 to Level 5.

210 wood

56 Fancy Blocks
56 Fancy Beams

It's insane given what the price is ... something that helps you to get another price that ain't especially great. Will be the first mission I will not bother since I started reading on this forum. I mean it would have been an awesome goal if the price would have been worth the effort. For instance one purple alicorn giving 40 energy every day...would have made the cut ;)

No confirmation as to whether the coliseum will continue to drop parts after the event. If not, then most of us are going to end up with an unfinished building in storage. Again.

This event should not have been named "COMMUNITY" event, as there is a large part of this community that is unable to participate in these insane goals. The side goals are impossible for even long time level 50 players with full stock of everything, but even the main goal of building the colloseum is very resource intensive and hard for lower level players. COMMUNITY events should be easy going, doable for both hardcore and casual players of Castle Story. The amount of crests needed for the individual end prize is way too steep for a casual participant.

I feel sorry for those who feel left out. These kind of grinds are not fun at all and do not enhance the sense of community. End goals should be achievable for everyone. Side goals should be reasonable. Or else don't call it a COMMUNITY event.

You have to visit EIGHTEEN taverns? Is that a bug? I only had to make 4 visits so I stopped by my two level 5 taverns twice and was done... Page one says 4 visits listed in the goal (but then I see a comment reposted that also says 18...) I'm at level 50 so it's not like I got the slightly easier numbers that sometimes lower level players get... Good luck!

Agree. Normally, I would just skip this kind of "visit building x times"-goal, when I prefer not to change buildings. Now I can't, because I need all my resources to nurse my sick alicorns:mad: So I did the math, and ok, I could pull it of, by selling 8 lev 5 theatres, building 8 watchtowers and upgrading them to lev 5. I have all the resources needed, no problem. Then I could set the timer and collect around the clock, even at night. I've done this before, many times:p:rolleyes: I would do this happily, for the fun of the challenge. But this time not going to, because I'm not feeling the fun of it any more. What's more, I feel lack of trust, fearing that if I do this, the goal will be changed afterwards to visit 5 lev 1 watchtowers or something like that. Also, not crazy enough to feel glad about leveling up 8 theatres to 5 again...:eek::(

You have to visit EIGHTEEN taverns? Is that a bug? I only had to make 4 visits so I stopped by my two level 5 taverns twice and was done... Page one says 4 visits listed in the goal (but then I see a comment reposted that also says 18...) I'm at level 50 so it's not like I got the slightly easier numbers that sometimes lower level players get... Good luck!
They are 2 different goals.... The one for 18 visits is one of the side goals

What does level 6 require. Can't find it on post 2 nor in the pages.
Trying to update some towers but don't want to use precious resources if needed on a required step

SW, can you please find out why the buildings that have a higher recharge time, such as marketplaces, taverns, watchtowers, are generally only giving 1 crest this time, instead of the multiples they've always given in the past? Is this an error? Or is this the new way they are doing things?

I've asked about this also... ;)

Thx :) I guess this event is aimed at slashing all our supplies we've hoarded. I feel really bad for lower level players. They have little chance of completing this event. Hopefully they will get the naga beast. Or the 4 th prize which will be very useful to them.

I'm more than happy to use my hoard :) NOT happy that as soon as the event asks for monsters to be slain, I cannot attract as much as a skunkupine! Normally I am hip deep in the annoying critters and regularly trap one in a corner to stop myself wasting energy. One thing I ADORE about these events is when I tap several cows/chickens and instead of waiting for the sprite to get its butt across the screen to attend to them, I just tap the event shield at the right to 'check on progress' and when I click back on the game, all items are collected all coins are collected and she is standing in the right place, all in the blink of an eye :)

You probably have the maximum number of town buildings. You will have to sell other town buildings before you can add new ones.

No confirmation as to whether the coliseum will continue to drop parts after the event. If not, then most of us are going to end up with an unfinished building in storage. Again. I abandoned the Cherry Tree early on as I could see it was impossible for me. I suspect this one is only doable if you spend gems on the side goals. Can't afford that. :(
Only a fully built colosseum will drop goodies.... it looks really nice though doesn't it. I've seen some fully built ones in kingdoms already and it's a really good fit.

Don't know if it's been posted but doing the side quest of making 18 visits to level 5 taverns netted 6 each of the masonry tools ( chisel and whatever the other one is). That's a nice boost.

I assumed only a level 10 coliseum will drop goodies. I'm on android, so most of them will be no use to me any way. I was wondering more whether a level 7 or 8 coliseum will still drop chisels and hammers so one can complete the building after the event.

morning all... Update on drops from: Lantern Spires, Watchtowers, Farmhouses, Market Places & Taverns

It has been confirmed that the drop rate for each of these is 1 with a small chance of 2. There was additional testing of the counter when 2 crests drops and it was working correctly. I've been painstakingly watching and counting and it looks ok to me, but you just can't go by the outside counter.

Have added more info to page 1 too. Have a happy day :)

How many crests required for the end goal prize? 1600 for the 3rd prize seems excessive! I play Dragon Story a bit and the last community event changed. Required a huge amount to reach the individual goal. Made it so that it was pretty much impossible to attain without spending gems. Meaning I didn't get it! And with continued diligent game play I was always able to reach the end goal. Seems like the same tactic for this community event. Surely hope not.

3,200 for the 4th goal, but I don't know how many for the naga guy.

Try not to complete the goal, not sure which one, that causes the Watchtower side goal to appear unless all your towers are ready for collection.
This will give you a quick bunch of towers while not using much timethis really is a good tip. Now we need to actually confirm when that goal opens.

Edited, just read few pages back n found that it will show up after level 6

sorry, i wrote that wrong ... apparently they do have to be level 5 ... im an idiot, i built 20 level 1 towers and didnt realize this until just now. i only have 15 hours left and only 5 level 5 towers so i probably wont make it to the end of this one :(

Allmost there, the 120 watchtowersgoal. I have 10 watchtowers ready, upgrade to level6, collect the 10 watchtowers. Rest 110 watchtowers in three days, thats 3-4 collections a day. (7-11-15-19 ). I think its DOABLE !

I am a level 50 player and have now 4 taverns, 5 farmhouses, 10 warchtowers, a level 5 colloseum and the counter is now standing at 897 crest.... I have no unfinished buildings and hoping to get this one also.... I always use the forum information whitch helps me a lot to get stuff ready in advance. But this time it will be hard to finish all in time.

And if i can collect 5-6 times a day (7-10-13-16-19-22) from the colloseum and get 1 hamer and other thing, for 20 days, i will have enough to upgrade to level 10.... But that means a lot online time, I'm addicted to this game but this is madness !

I also have a life, three beautifull children, a husband and a dog who need attention every day :-)

Yeah, right.... I think it's time to get my life back. I thought the 18x tavern in 3 days was silly, and not doable for lots, but this.... Oh yeah, I know, it's optional. But I would appreciate goals that are fun and doable for most without stressing out completely...

I already started this event with much less fun than ususal because of certain developments lately, but now I'm getting more and more numb every day....

It would be nice if some developers would acually play these games for themselves to see if what they offer us is doable, fun, fair, etc.

Hey guys! Thanks for being so patient. I've talked to the team and yes, it is intended for 120 Level 5 Watchtowers/Lantern Spires. I've passed along the feedback that the number is especially high this time around. To confirm, this Goal is optional and does not need to be completed. Thanks again for all of your patience!

Made the math, you need 7 level 5 towers and diligently harvest them each 4 hours to make it in time. Now even for a u-goal setter this is "miracle" level. If you can harvest 4 times a day you need 10 towers.. With the cap on royal buildings I cannot have 10 towers.

I've actually been trying to build extra buildings between events, so I've been up and down the building guide in the hub the last few weeks but I'm still confused about the royal building count. The resource building post also says something about counting towards royal limit. Does all resource buildings count? Only certain ones? Did I miss something? Sorry, I know this is off topic but I'm a little lost. Thanks

Other posters have said it's a random drop of either [known list]. That means you won't get it every collection. I've seen the Naga in other kingdoms and it's the same colour as it was during the Fire & Ice event.

No, resource buildings/items don't count toward the number of Royal Buildings or Town Buildings cap. So for Royal buildings (all those shown in the market under that tab) the cap is 43. Any combination and what's in storage counts towards that number. Town ones are capped at 40, again, any combination and ones in storage count.

oops! I've just seen what you mean about the text under Resource building. I'll just remove that! That's me having a copy/paste malfunction :)

120 collections at level 5, one zillion collections to upgrade etc just isn't fun. This is the first and last Storm 8 game I play. I've dropped all the others for similar reasons. This one sadly is ready to go to, just isn't fun anymore sadly.

I am using every scrap of energy on chopping wood to make beams to make fancy beams to make royal beams to upgrade enough lantern towers to visit 120 times.
Oh ****, now I've got to spend all my energy on chopping iron rich rock piles to get iron to transmute into silver to use 15 for each tower and 3 for each royal beam, because my 4 mines are dropping hardly any silver, but jewels, mithril and even golden nuggets.

I have 2 towers at level 5, 3 at level 4 and 5 at level 1.

So I will keep chop chop chopping away for 5 days to get my 10 level 5 towers and then level up the colosseum to level 6 and then visit the towers 4 times a day for the next 3 days.

Then I will put away the towers and build more farmhouses, which will need more wood, which I may or may not have been able to save in between visiting the towers. Then I will visit the farmhouses day and night to get enough Royal Crests, because I am so far behind on upgrading the colosseum.

I AM going to do this, and I AM enjoying myself.

I AM I AM I **** WELL AM

So I will keep chop chop chopping away for 5 days to get my 10 level 5 towers and then level up the colosseum to level 6 and then visit the towers 4 times a day for the next 3 days.

Then I will put away the towers and build more farmhouses, which will need more wood, which I may or may not have been able to save in between visiting the towers. Then I will visit the farmhouses day and night to get enough Royal Crests, because I am so far behind on upgrading the colosseum.

I AM going to do this, and I AM enjoying myself.

I AM I AM I **** WELL AM

You're going to enjoy it a whole lot more when you realise you're going to need another 13 royal beams to upgrade from L6 to L10.
YOU ARE GOING TO ENJOY It. YES YOU **** WELL ARE!!!!!

I just did the math and to go from level 6 to level 10 is 120 chisels and 120 hammers. Not to mention the totally unreasonable 120 Level 5 Tower/Lantern side goal. I wouldn't have a problem with have say 3 or 5 Level 5 towers/spires and make 120 visits but visits to other level towers/spires count. I have NEVER not finished a quest/event

Aaaaaaaaarrrrrgh!!!

To get L6 to L10 you will need
132 masons hammers
132 masons chisels
40 hide
30 fur
7 royal blocks
13 royal beams
6 builders paste

When you've used 120 energy visiting watchtowers/lantern spires, you get 9 hammers and 9 chisels.
L5 coliseum gives 1-3 hammers and chisels so may only take 6 energies, tapping every 3 hours could take 1-2 days
Watchtowers 120 energies over 3 days
Is it worth beating yourself up over watchtowers?
Just a thought

You only get drops (apart from coins) from a L10

yeah I've decided to opt out too ... a completely unrealistic challenge for ALL players

i have the resources and ability to craft 10 (or the minimum necessary 7) lvl5 watchtowers but no quest should require that.
I have 4 lvl5 watchtowers in my kingdom permanently and that's all i want. i'm not ruling a surveillance state here

hopefully i can get the colosseum up to lvl10 quickly enough without the extra chisels and hammers so I can get the Naga in time

really love the griffin nest deco!! (a drop of griffin feathers would have been cool - for potions, trades etc... - but anyways)
and this coming from someone who hates deco prizes

also what's the go with the selection of community prizes - a wall set! :( so disappointing

In my case it's a little misleading to say that the Colosseum drops multiples of chisels/hammers. In upgrading to Level 6, I once received 3 hammers and never more than one chisel. Following this pattern, I probably will have to tap the Colosseum the full 132 times to reach Level 10. Man, that's really ... boring.

Went ahead and built 9 towers/spires and leveled them up. Think I can do it.

Once these three days are behind working this challenge won't be as intense.

I am dismayed that my chisels and hammers are waaaaaay out of kilter now. It's a 1:4 ratio right now, and that's really off. And worrisome. But I think the long time line will make it work out.

This might be the end of CS for me; 120 visits to my 5 spires/towers would take a whole lot longer than 3 days....if it were 120 hits on the farmhouses, I'd be all up for the challenge. I don't mind repetitive or even tedious tasks as long as they are possible to achieve.

Seems like goals/events in CS are few and far between but when they do show up lately, they're quite unsatisfying or impossible to achieve. So disappointing :(

This is where we should be able to use the transformation potion. It would make the random drops more fair if you could change hammers to chisels.

I'm actually not too worried about crests. I'm at ~1000 now, which means I'm almost on track with 225 per day, and drops will be incrasing.

But my collosseum is only level halfway to level 6, meaning I have about 125 of each mason tool to go. If getting more than one each per collection is that unreliable, I may be looking at 120 collections in 20 days (assuming an even distribution), ie 6 per day. Which I can't do, not being a full time castle ruler.

I had planned doing the side goals, and made the tavern one. I thought it would be tough collecting from 10 towers/spires 4 times per day, but worth the try. But learning they all needed to be level 5 I'm out. One thing is selling 4 buildings and then buying/building an extra 4, another to level up 6 of them from 1 to 5. Especially since I couldn't be sure I could make it, having weekend plans.

This is getting a little too hard, and with other game discouragements I may be able to finally get on top of my CS addiction

Sometimes I put my game on airplane mode and force close when I don't get what I want. When I take it off airplane mode and reload the game, I get a second chance to collect from my colosseum. If you're fast enough, the previous collection won't count because the game hasn't had a chance to sync with the server.

Just reached level 6. I made a point of achieving that first thing in the AM so all towers/spires would be ready for collection immediately. Feeling good about it. Of course I will hit those towers once in the night. But I usually get up once in the night anyway. Heh heh.

Just got the Griffith nest. Like the last two prizes, not even putting it out temporarily. Don't really care about the walls, towers, etc. either. I just like a challenge.

What are resources for if not to use? What's a challenge for if not to beat it? Of course, to each their own. That's just how I play.

That's a depressing analysis. I'm in a similar place to you with my main game and wonder if I'm going to make it this time. I'm doing the 18 taverns collection challenge but I'm just not interesting in stressing myself out to do the upgrades for the towers/spires one. And there's no way I can manage 6 collections a day either. And I'm going to be away next week so I'm pretty sure that 225 a day is going to be impossible. Might try to get a bit ahead on this one now. Overall it's not looking good but I won't give up quite yet. On my other game I don't think there's much hope - too hard for lower levels - even getting the bones was difficult. I like the look of the half-built colosseum though - which is lucky!

I guess I'll never finish this goal....how can a player visit 120 level 5 towers/spires in just 3 days. That is completely ridiculous & impossible. Visiting 120 any level towers & spires would make much better sense!

And please tell me how anyone at level 17 can even come close on this one?? It's too much for almost all my level 50 neighbors. Who ever designed this one obviously doesn't play.

Thanks but no thanks!

I'd quite like a naga as I'm working on a collection of mystical, magical critters. Wouldn't be any use as I missed the last quest, which was ipad only, so have no idea what the drops do. But it would be nice to have. I'm working on the crests.

I'm less committed to the coliseum. I simply don't have the time, energy or resources to do the side goals, so if they're essential I won't get there. I have a lot of half finished goal buildings in store, and if I realise the coliseum will be joining them then I'll stop trying there. I do think if there are items which can only come from a goal building, they should continue after the timer so people can at least finish the building even if they don't gain the prizes. Especially since these days buildings look incomplete until they're at maximum level.

As for me I'm concentrating more on leveling collesum instead of collecting crests. I have plenty of Naga stuff and I'm hoping we won't need any more. I have kinda stopped collecting crests when I got to 700. But I can see how some players would like to have that Naga beast in their kingdom. It's a mythical element to a kingdom. Come to think about I might change my mind about.

That's from the last timed event. There was an issue with some people completing the event, but not getting the prize. It should be resolved now.

I HATE the idea that i HAVE TO sell other buildings to build different buildings?! Thats ridiculous!
What about all the resources spent to build ea building - down the drain?
All the buildings i build are level 5, and it kinda hurts to sell them to be able to complete the goal.
Im not doing the side goals, bc i refuse to sell my fully upgraded buildings. (thats too much of wasting of the resources, materials, coins and time) Do something with this absurd limit on royal regular constructions!

I know this event is tedious & the side tasks seem totally undo-able but for those who are in dire need of some inspiration... the rewards for completing the side tasks will get you that much closer to 'winning' the final Naga prize & upgrading the colesseum to lvl 10. The crest rewards for the 18 tavern challenge means I'm now at 1020 crests with 20days still on my timer. And not a single gem purchase or speed-up! (S8 won't be getting another penny outta me 😕)

I managed to upgrade 12 towers/spires to lvl 5 which was a complete pain & has utterly depleted my resource hoard - but means the 120 visits in 3 days is now well within reach (10% of the goal every 4hrs) without having to sacrifice my real life commitments! All my energy was spent on collecting wood, iron & silver for the extra towers & upgrading the colesseum (great advice to not upgrade the colesseum to lvl 6 until you've got as many lvl5 towers /spires as you can manage before triggering that side task).

It's definitely a boring strategy. And it's frustrating that all my other resources & buildings are being ignored (because I can't spare the energy) - but it is do-able (at least for lvl 50 hoarders!).

And my inner hoarder REALLY wants that pet Naga!

I know there's a lot of frustration out there atm - but if you can keep your cash AND win the prize...well, why not? 😜

I am on the Tavern side goal with 2 days left, and only one visit to my (one) level 5 tavern. Will the next side goal pop up if I don't complete this one or no?

According to the OP, a lv 7 drops 32 crests. No mention of the other levels though and I don't remember reading about the drops for the higher levels on this thread yet. [Edit- skimmed through the thread and found some information, hope it helps!).


Edit: LV 8 colosseum drops 41 crests

2nd Edit: LV 10 colosseum drops 68 crests

Yes, you'll get the other side goal when you level up the colosseum to the correct level (not sure what level triggers the last side quest) whether or not you complete the previous side quest.

"Happily" selling buildings that you spent a considerable amount of resources upgrading? Ok, it is great that you are happy to do so, but others should be aware of how outrageous these quests are. The goals are are excessive, the costs are exorbitant and the timing is suspect. JMO that not everyone has to agree with.

It is up to everyone to decide what goals they go for or not ......I am not buying and upgrading spires and towers ... I do have 2 level 5 taverns and may or may not complete that goal, they are side goals and I'm not too concerned about finishing them. What I am concentrating on is getting the colosseum to level 10 and collecting from cottages, markets, etc when I have time/energy.

I play this game and enjoy it, and generally enjoy the forum to get tips on gameplay.... If I didn't enjoy it I would find another game to play.
