Storybook Event - An Orchestrated Occasion

[==Update app to Version 1.5+ on iOS/Android, Level 15+, and will be available to start beginning 7/21. Once started, you will have 10 days to complete the event. The event will automatically start on 7/25 .==]
You can start the event any time between today and 8/3 which is when it will end for everyone.

Tips from players (and me!)
1. It's not that you have one day to complete a chapter - it's that another chapter won't UNLOCK until the next day.
2. If you finish the chapter early, you have to wait for the remainder of the time to expire before the next chapter starts. You have to complete a chapter to begin the next chapter.
3. If you take longer than a day to complete a chapter then the next one will start sooner.
4. If you gem skip a chapter, the next one doesn't start sooner (you will wait even longer!).

Timing Info: The first chapter only gives you the remainder of 'day 1' to complete (which is easy to do this time!).


Note: I know it's been mentioned, but worth another mention... once you upgrade, the special items don't drop anymore from the harp, jester, music stand. Any unfinished side goals will stay in your book till it expires.

If you do not finish, the only way to fully upgrade the festival grounds is to use gems. All timed events are like this.

Bugs/glitches and fixes!


Hello everyone!

We've found and implemented a fix, which should be live now! We addressed this issue by reducing the Sheet Music requirements for Stages 6 through 10. The new requirements are as follows:

Stage 6: 7 Sheet Music
Stage 7: 10 Sheet Music
Stage 8: 10 Sheet Music
Stage 9: 10 Sheet Music
Stage 10: 15 Sheet Music

Currently, players who started on Day 1 should be on Day 8, presuming they didn't skip ahead - thus, we will be crediting all players who are currently on or after Day 6 with some Sheet Music which should make up the difference between the previous requirements and the new, reduced requirements. This should put all those players back on track to complete (with a slight additional boost for Day 6 and Day 7 players :) ).

We also received the feedback that Aanpa's drops were not satisfying. We've addressed this by increasing the chance and quantity of Magic Fruit :)

Thank you all again for the feedback! Without you guys, we would not have known about this issue. Please continue voicing all of your feedback and concerns, and we will do what we can to keep making these events better!

Thank you for playing Castle Story! Good luck with the rest of the event <3
Update 31 July

Hello everyone! Been trying to log in from the salon for the better part of an hour @__@ Wanted to let you all know I'm right here with you all, I'm experiencing the connection issues as well. I cannot make any promises, but I will discuss this with the team when we're all back in the office on Monday.


Sorry for these issues! Have a great weekend everyone <3


update on issue, posted Aug 1 (Mon)

Hello!
I'm currently discussing this with the team. I can't make any promises, but I'm investigating the breadth of the problem at least.

update on issue, posted Aug 2 (Tues)

The timer on the Musical Maintenance Goals were incorrect, so it has been fixed and increased by a day for those who will be playing the event until the 4th.

If you have questions about the outage, please write to support@storm8.com.





Side Goals:
Q: Will the side goals also be updated?

I believe our crediting tools do not interact with certain quest tasks, unfortunately :(

owever, these goals are not meant to be vital - they are just there as a reminder to continue collecting those resources even if the day has been "completed," and to point to where to get those resources. The energy received from completing those quests is not calculated into the difficulty tuning of the event.

Update:

The side Goals do not remove any items.

The side Goals only keep track of how many of that item you have collected, not have at the moment. For example, if you collect 5 Sheet Music, the task will show 5/10 Sheet Music. If you use the 5, you have 0 in your inventory, but the Goal progress will still show that you have collected 5/10 still. If you collect another one, you have 1 in your inventory now but your Goal progress will show 6/10 collected. Once you have collected 4 more, the task will complete with 10/10 collected, but you have 5 in your inventory.

So it may look like you had more and you lost them, but the number in the task does not represent how many you have in your inventory. I've forwarded this feedback to the game team so they're aware of this for future events.

Hey everyone!

We've decided to adjust the values for the side goals so they match the requirements. The side goals do not have any effect on completion of the event, however they were causing confusion already and more so on top of yesterday's adjustments. Hopefully, fixing the discrepancy between the side goals and the new building requirements will address some of that - in the future, we'll be taking another look at how we handle side quests of this nature such that there's no concern about loss of materials but they also don't penalize you guys if you upgrade prior to finishing the side quest :)

Thanks everyone for your continued feedback! Keep it coming, it really helps us get an accurate idea of y'alls experience :)

Hope you enjoy the rest of the event!

Forgive me if this question is naive, as it is the first storybook for me.
But is it timed? It doesn't seem to be.
@Hexappeal It's 10 Days (timed) and not required (optional) to advance the main storyline as far as I know. One can just work on normal goals during this event if they wanted to.

I think it's safe to say go ahead and collect from any buildings you want. Up until to Day/Act 4 no building taps or animal collections have been required.

I'll stop updating this post once SW is on lunch break, I think I'll be in bed by then anyways :P

10 Day Event - Starting today would mean the last of the event should be on a Saturday. Starting the event tomorrow should give the last day on a Sunday. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

10 Day Event - Starting today would mean the last of the event should be on a Saturday. Starting the event tomorrow should give the last day on a Sunday. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Correct.. but remember that 3AM EST is the day starter. So if you start Chapter 1 at 2:59AM EST Chapter 2 will start 1 minute later. Unless I am mistaken as mine I started already and it says day 2 starts 10Hrs 28 Minutes Eastern Standard Time

[SpiritWind00]

Hi all! I'm working today, so I will be around at lunch (6.30am for me now) to write up goals. Till then, I have closed the sneak peek, merged threads (thanks for starting it Solientus :)). If there are any issues, can you PM me so I can action it faster. Thanks all!

Gonna be going on vacation in a week so hopefully I can get this done but if not I won't fret over it. Just don't have the enthusiasm for CS for quite awhile now.

Anyway, good luck everybody.

[Solientus]

Oh joy... Another storybook event, my absolute fave. (Not! lol)

...do you mean we have to collect 10 ink twice in a row or ...? (Little confused by "then the goal became...")

I know....I was so disappointed when I saw the goal on the right instead of in the goal book. :(
So many players are constantly saying "Please, no more storybook events and please no more timed events like the stag/griffin."
And so many players are begging for storyline or even another monster hunt....apparently THAT particular feedback is not being processed.

Soooo...maybe it's time for a little reverse psychology.....

"Please S8, whatever you do, please, please, never do another monster hunt or storyline update. We don't want those yucky things. We LOVE crazy timed events and storybooks!"

Hey! It could work! Lol

[Solientus]

"Please S8, whatever you do, please, please, never do another monster hunt or storyline update. We don't want those yucky things. We LOVE crazy timed events and storybooks!"

You made me lol irl!

Please its only been open a couple of hours can we not complain about it yet :) it is optional, you dont have to do it

[iamvan2]

Another storybook event; ok. Hope this one is fun. I personally hope there is NEVER another monster hunt. I would like an update that extends the main storyline. But oh well.

I apologize. :( If it helps, I'm not complaining about this particular event, just storybooks in general. I did try to add a little humor.

All of the recent events have been optional, as is playing the game itself. I choose to play, but if we don't provide feedback, how will the developers know what players like or dislike? Personally, I'd like to get back to the fun game I started playing. I want to know what's up with the locket. I want to know the connection between Griselda and Ivy & Belladonna. I want to know if Agnes returns Old Thomas' feelings. And since I've completed everything except the optional events... I choose to do them, but I'd prefer to do them without a forced wait time in between chapters.

Are we supposed to be getting magic ink after the chapter 1? I don't speed through, but I've been collecting and not gotten anything?

The beginning of Day/Act 2 you pay 100k for the Jolly Jester. He's the one that drops 1-3 Musical Ink every collection (2hours).

You posted my feelings much better than I could. I'm so ready for the main storyline to be further developed, but I'd be happy for a monster hunt at this point. *sigh* Oh well, I DO love Castle Story, so storybook it is. On with the show!

[peachtreeshoppe]

Please its only been open a couple of hours can we not complain about it yet :) it is optional, you dont have to do it

Yes! Thank you! :)

I am sorry I wasnt directing that at anyone, I am sure in a couple of days there will be plenty to complain about :)

But, do you remember when we didnt have these optional events? We would go weeks with nothing to do, I would much rather have the choice to do something than no option at all.

I agree with both guys.. complaining can sometimes lead to overall distraction and is usually not constructive but I feel that most like Princess are providing feedback and to add its Very Good Feedback. I am also on the side that I would welcome more storyline. I tend to believe that Storyline is being worked on and I hope it will knock our socks off. Do not think that just because they are producing non-storyline events that this is taking away from their work on storyline - at least if my altruistic thinking is not misguided. I love this game and welcome any challenge.

theres no stress for finishing this quest as I'm not entirely sure I want a half naked goat boy walking about my kingdom.
it's not like you can put him away if you don't like him. my cross eyed faerie still flies about sideways, but my level six forest tree is in storage.

So....If I wait until Monday to start this, will I still have 10 days? I'm on vacation.:cool:

Depends on when the AutoStart occurs.. cant remember the usual delay from voluntarily starting to automatic. Last storyline was 4 day delay to AutoStart. so that puts it starting by itself on Monday at prolly 12 AM Pacific 3 AM Eastern

So....If I wait until Monday to start this, will I still have 10 days? I'm on vacation.:cool:

Yes. You will have 10 days from the day you started it. At some point it will auto-start, if you haven't started it yet, just keep checking post one for that date.

[Jetzin]

Correct.. but remember that 3AM EST is the starter. So if you start Chapter 1 at 2:59AM EST Chapter 2 will start 1 minute later. Unless I am mistaken as mine I started already and it says day 2 starts 10Hrs 28 Minutes Eastern Standard Time

Could someone confirm this - 3am California time? I've been trying to work it out. There's a time zone converter on all of the first posts but I don't know which time I need to convert!

Thanks :)

[pawerdise]

Thanks :)

Castle Story servers are on Pacific Standard Time(PST)..which is 3 hours difference from Eastern Standard Time(EST). So usual updates happen on Thursday 12pm Pacific Standard- ie Noon.. that makes it 3 PM Eastern Time. Story Line events such as this start at the just discussed time but for some reason the days that it relies on are kicked off on a opposite 12 hour delay. So Chapter 1 for this event started at 12 PM PST / 3 PM EST but Chapter 2 starts 12 Hours later at 12 AM PST / 3 AM EST. Then from that point on each day will start at Midnight PST

Thursday Update
Noon California - 3 PM Florida/ New York
Chapter 1 Starts if you Choose - Completion gives you countdown time for Chapter 2
In my case it will Start in 12 hours later so that makes it Midnight tonight Pacific Time. So as I Post since I am on Eastern its 7 hours way since its 8PM

[lillybuz]

Depends on when the AutoStart occurs.. cant remember the usual delay from voluntarily starting to automatic. Last storyline was 4 day delay to AutoStart. so that puts it starting by itself on Monday at prolly 12 AM Pacific 3 AM Eastern

ok....thanks for your reply!

[jmterao]

1. will this walk around the kingdom or be another stationary figure?

2. Is it a decoration that will drop a fraction of what it takes to obtain it?

I have not been real happy with the last few events. They were tedious and not a lot of fun. They took way to much in material to obtain without the hope of ever getting back anything of worth.

[AnisWa]

Hi, I thought I'd start collecting white and orange petals for Chapter 2. I'm only getting 15 coins and a star. None of the petal items are dropping petals, just coins. That's crazy.

Thank you Pawdise! It is confusing and I searched the forum for it but didn't come up with anything. Days change at 5pm for me then. :) That makes sense for gifts but the Griffin event ended in the morning.

[AnisWa]

Thanks, I checked my inventory.....yes, I have maxed.

[robino23]

I'm pretty sure I just received a musical ink from Old Thomas' house.

[Dragosle]

So... can a mod confirm that the Satyr boy is a resource-dropping decoration or a person that will be walking around the kingdom (like Thomas, Ivy and that fairy from the Cherry Hive event)?

another storybook event? *headdesk* Could we get a break from time events for a while, seriously. I'm seriously sick of these

[PyrrhaForever]

Hello everyone! I am a low level player looking for advice. I was really upset about all the resourses I wasted trying to do the griffin event. Now I'm wondering if it's even worth it to spend 100k on a jester. Do any more experienced players have advice for me? Will I be able to finish this quest without gems? The first few chapters look challenging, but not overly so. Will they stay this way or get ridiculous like the griffin quest? Will the prize be worth it? What has your previous experience with storybook quests? I want to participate, but I just got so badly burned with the griffin. Any advice you have would be appreciated.
Thanks, PyrrhaForever

I'd give it a couple days and watch this thread for the details. In general, I would avoid events like this when I was a low level player unless all the details came out and it was both doable and clearly worth it.

There are way too many storyline goals that need your resources early on to "waste" them on timed goals with dubious rewards especially if there is a chance you won't reach the end reward.

Hi PyrrhaForever, i play the story book goals because I have no other goals (level 50 player, being playing since just after the love shack :()the challenges used to give awesome prizes, well worth the effort. Recently they are really disappointing, miss advertised or completely different than the prize advertised e.g essence pond that gives water not essence, sideways flying cross eyed fairy. I have lost faith in S8. If I like the look of the finished item I will go for it, such as the griffin. What a pain that challenge was. I only completed it cos I'm as stubborn as a mule. You will have lots to do with the main story line. Oh those fun days. Personally I would suggest keeping your resources and hard earned gold for the main story until you can stock up with items. Unless the item is something you really want. Most of the challenges are next to impossible for low level players unless they have different requirements. You could spend the next few days building up on resources such as petals wood etc and see how the event is going for other players before deciding. The forum has great people gemming ahead and keeping everyone updated. The challenge won't auto start for a few days and even then you don't have to participate.
Good luck and enjoy. Really loved this game when I had a story to follow. Probably not going to participate in this one. The faun is not to appealing and the jester properly scary (don't like clowns either )

Hi everybody! I have a question...this week end im not gonna be able ti play cs so i was wondering, can i start the storybook event on monday and still have 10 days to complete it? Or no matter when i start it, it lasts till a specific date?!
Thank you!!!!

[RevdKathy]

Is it me or does that faun bear a striking resemblance to the lucky leprechaun?

Not complaining, yet, ;) but a couple of bits of feedback: I would have liked a longer break after the last timed marathon to get my Kingdom back in shape. And I would really like another beast hunt - I bought the beast bane and am maxed on tokens to exchange which I can't till the trolls come back. I doubt I'm the only one in this space either.

Just to let you know I had to pay only 10k not 100k for jester. I'm level 30 and relieved.

That's good news! If you're under level 30 can you post if any goals are different. May be worth running 2 sets of goals?

[comeseecomesah]

I apologize. :( If it helps, I'm not complaining about this particular event, just storybooks in general. I did try to add a little humor.

All of the recent events have been optional, as is playing the game itself. I choose to play, but if we don't provide feedback, how will the developers know what players like or dislike? Personally, I'd like to get back to the fun game I started playing. I want to know what's up with the locket. I want to know the connection between Griselda and Ivy & Belladonna. I want to know if Agnes returns Old Thomas' feelings. And since I've completed everything except the optional events... I choose to do them, but I'd prefer to do them without a forced wait time in between chapters. Well said!! I agree fully!! But storm8 knows they make more money from these timed events AND there ARE ppl who buy lots of gold to speed and complete them. That's why they are so difficult. I guess I'm stating the obvious lol. Good luck to all.
Guess we could make up and continue the storyline ourselves ha ha I'm sure there's lots of creative and perhaps wild players out there.

[newzealander]

I'm pretty sure I just received a musical ink from Old Thomas' house.
I did too.

[Zirilka]

That's good news! If you're under level 30 can you post if any goals are different. May be worth running 2 sets of goals?

I shall let you know if there are any differences. This was the only one so far and I nearly wept with gratitude as I'm totally broke after the migration event.

What plant gives Orange petals? I have Talium Aranticum, but it's only giving blue stars....
I have just arrived to ask the same question. The silly thing is that I have some (about 40) in inventory but no idea where they came from.

[StevenKevin]

I LOVE that satyr!!!!! After all those foolish princesses, witches and fairies I did expect in my kingdom a male character who would be a bit more.... enticing than Good Ole Thomas to please my hero :-)
Unfortunately being on vacation next week i think ill never be able to get that awesome guest :-(

[blackpearl9]

I have just arrived to ask the same question. The silly thing is that I have some (about 40) in inventory but no idea where they came from.
Actually, it is the orange flower (talinum auranticum) which gives orange petals. And sometimes multicolor hedge, faery flowerbed and regular bushes.

[ladyknightkeladry]

I have just arrived to ask the same question. The silly thing is that I have some (about 40) in inventory but no idea where they came from.

Bush and Talinum Auranticum give orange petals. If you're only getting xp (blue stars), you're probably maxed out on orange petals

[rembetiko]

Hello everyone! I am a low level player looking for advice. I was really upset about all the resourses I wasted trying to do the griffin event. Now I'm wondering if it's even worth it to spend 100k on a jester. Do any more experienced players have advice for me? Will I be able to finish this quest without gems? The first few chapters look challenging, but not overly so. Will they stay this way or get ridiculous like the griffin quest? Will the prize be worth it? What has your previous experience with storybook quests? I want to participate, but I just got so badly burned with the griffin. Any advice you have would be appreciated.
Thanks, PyrrhaForever

Probably not worthwhile for lower level players to try. At least I was never able to complete those goals with my other accounts which are lower level (even level 48 is hard).

And if at some point in this quest they will have again the requirement of "give 10 gold nuggets" (or something similar ridiculous) I will have to quit also in my level 50 account.

[AnisWa]

That's a good thing for you. It cost me 100k and I'm level 37. It was ready to place another Jester but I "x" it out, don't need to spend more gold on something so small.

[SpiritWind00]

It doesn't let you hit the green tick twice, so you're safe ;) (I tried it)

[Alicia1958]

I have found out what happened... I have more than 99 in my storage. Therefore you only gain experience. So you must have gotten them earlier. The plant I mentioned is the one that gives Orange petals. If you haven't got one, you will have to buy.... Good luck.

I'm sitting on this one until Monday to see how others go with it before committing myself. Last one was just too time consuming.

[carove]

You are correct. I too received a musical ink from Old Thomas's House.
That's handy to know

[AnisWa]

Thank you. I have 99 white petals in my inventory....did not collect from that. However, I had 99 Orange petals and it checked off the required amount for 20 petals. Yes, it seems Ole Thomas House drops musical ink (I was excited..because I was expecting to wait the 2hrs from the Jester)....that's good to see. Good Luck, everyone! Hoping it's not a beast towards the end of this event.

[vuvhappy]

That's handy to know

I received 3 on my iPad and three on iPhone nice I was worried

[AnisWa]

The Jester just dropped 3 musical ink and Old Thomas's House dropped 2. So, maybe it won't be too bad....depending on what the next drops are.

I also got a drop from old Thomas 's house, but it didn't count, if I look at THE storyline, there is still one and not three musical ink. ��

I'm glad they giving some kind of reward this time rather then the "just keeping us on track" sort of thing.

However, the wording "Collect" and "Have" is wrong again since we only need it to be in our inventory. I'd prefer the Quest text be more precise.

It doesnt count in my storyline either BUT it does count in the ungrade so it isnt all bad.

Knowing my luck the final part will want 10 gold nuggets when I just used up all my stock for the golden pipes.
So far the event looks promising though. Thank you S8.

oh gosh, don't tempt fate!! I'm dreading any use of golden items after giving them up for main story line goals as well lol! I've just flipped up to level 31 and internally sobbing about this fact esp as I'd just bought a couple new buildings lol don't suppose there's a rewind button to take away some of the xp!

For some reason my white petals counted but the yellow ones didn't.:confused:

Mine showed the 2 collect petals as done and the game bugged. Then it showed the orange petals as completed but the white one showed 1/20! I tried to reset the game and all but it didn't work. Now I need to collect whites petals while I'm full... :(

[PrincessCupOButter]

I'm almost scared to post this (because I really don't want it to change!) but I collected from old Thomas and got 3 magic ink. They are showing up in both the storybook and the side goal. Both say 3/10 and I haven't collected from the jester yet. My festival grounds upgrade is showing 4/10, so I'm guessing we got one as a reward for placing the jester?

So, I've collected from other characters houses and not found any more magic ink. :-( But I'm curious, has anyone who's gone ahead found parchment from anywhere besides the music stand?

I do appreciate the reward for completing the side goals and the extra source of magic ink! Thumbs up S8!


Ps. The side goal is also showing that both orange and white petals are complete. I hate that it seems to be glitchy for some. :(
For those looking for orange petal sources, the fire lillies from the fire and ice dragons event drop orange petals. And maybe some of the flowers from the forest everything event will too.

[paisley777]

Well looks like that is all sorts of messed up! Orange - no white, white - no orange, both...geez...

About the Magic Ink drops (Jester & Old T's house):

It doesnt count in my storyline either

They are showing up in both the storybook and the side goal.
Same Deal, lots of buggy things going on...

Collecting Musical Ink from Old Thomas's House:
iPad: counted in my inventory, but not in the storybook goal
iPhone 6S plus: counted BOTH in my inventory and in the storybook goal
So, I guess, if you have these 2 devices, switch to iPhone to collect from Old T's House.
Too many inconsistencies makes me a sad panda.

Yeah one Musical Ink was a reward.

As for the Muted Parchment, I'm curious as well if it drops from another source. I had to plunk out Old T's house this morning when I read the comments. It takes up too much room (for coin drop) and I usually have it put away till something needs it.

I did too. Glad to know I wasn't seeing things!

[jessiefromshimerville]

Kudos s8... I noticed that there is a musical maintenance part 1 in the story book icon which shows the requirements for the upgrade of the festival grounds. Awesome. Last event,I would waste an energy to see my inventory status. Big big thank you for the change.

[jessiefromshimerville]

Mikepastry... My old t house ink counted in the story book on my iPad 2. You may need to force a power down and restart to reset the count. Thanks for sharing your Intel... I tend to minimize my clicks on things that I don't think affect the event when in these timed events. I would not have clicked on the old t house if not for your post.

I collected from old Thomas's house and it dropped musical ink too!! I hope it doesn't change but thanks for the tip!!! My jolly jester had only dropped one each time and I was wondering how I was going to finish a 20 hour goal today!!

[iamvan2]

Waiting; but hoping doesn't happen, for the other shoe to fall. The Griffen Quest started out very easy, but turned into a tap, tap, tapping tedious "nightmare." So far the Satyr event is pleasant. I really appreciate that Old Thomas' House is dropping a needed resource. Thanks Storm8!

Thanks for figuring this out and posting, Mike. This worked for me on my 4S.

The storybook on both my iPad and iPhone is not "retroactively" registering the OTH inks from my iPad, even after force close and restart.

[tuffyjkitten]

iPad mini....the 1 musical ink from Old Thomas registered in both the side goal and the upgrade screen. Both orange and white petals registered under "collect" in the side as I was maxed in each already so didn't even try to collect.

This is buggy. I'm maxed on both orange & white petals. In the side goal, the orange petals are completed 20/20 but the white petals show only 6/20. So I went to collect from the 4 white poppies I have on my game board. Got the black flag saying I was maxed on the petals but the goal book flashed progress:confused:
Just crazy! So now I have 10/20 white petals. :D

Regarding the ink drop from Thomas - not counting in the book goal but is counting towards upgrade. :D

[AnniePMH]

I was pleasantly surprised that Mr. J. Jester turns in 4 directions:p

[puzzlecatz]

I just received a musical ink from another source. Not sure but I think it was Thomas' house

[meme1098]

Yes, thank goodness there are 2 sources :).
Thomas & the creepy Jester.

[ladlasse]

First collection of the jester gave 3 inks. Second, third and fourth collection gave 1 ink each. Fifth collection gav me 3 inks.

You are very fortunate. I am only receiving 1 music ink per collection. At this rate it will take longer than I hoped even with Thomas house giving 1 ink per collection, too.

[kattkrazie]

I also got a drop from old Thomas 's house, but it didn't count, if I look at THE storyline, there is still one and not three musical ink. ��

I've been collecting from Old Thomas every 2 hrs. and they have all counted. Strange that yours didn't count but keep trying. I'm on Chapter 3 and Old Thomas has been a huge help.

[PrincessCupOButter]

I don't know if this has anything to do with the collections counting or not counting, but yesterday there was an update in the App Store (iOS) that simply said

- bug fixes
- performance improvements

I did the update before the event started and so far, everything has counted everywhere.

Finding some wood to knock on now.

Ps. I find Old Thomas to be more generous than the jester. I hope that trend continues!

You may be on to something. I also did that update before the event started and haven't had any issues.

[blackpearl9]

I did the update after initial collection and it seems to count new musical inks correctly now but those previously collected are still wrong. The bug fix should have taken care of this too. No need to have two different counters for the same item within the code.

[ethan1brothers]

I know this is a volunteer thing but when will the goal list on the first page get updated ? id like to be able to plan ahead ....

[AnisWa]

I have sunflowers, they also have orange petals.

[llj_sea]

Same for me.

[Solientus]

...when will the goal list on the first page get updated ? id like to be able to plan ahead ....
It gets updated when someone uses their Gems to skip ahead. Either those going ahead with Gems aren't posting, haven't had time to post, don't want to post or no one is skipping ahead. Who can say?

As far as post 1, SW00 gets to it when they're on break or not at work I assume. They seem to be on a 12 hour time zone difference (from me anyways).
There's hasn't been anything posted for after Act 4, Goal 1 from any Gem pioneers.

Other then petals for upgrades, and having Old T's house out, we haven't seen anything we need to collect from/prepare for.

[PrincessCelestian]

So I haven't had any issues with it counting the drops for sir Thomas's house until I was only 1 away from completing the goal and then it didn't count that drop!!! Seriously?!?!?!

It's funny I just put it away today because I had just gotten my last drops of books from it for another quest lol
Ah well, it'll be ready in time for next Act atleast.

I want to thank those people who responded to my earlier post. Your feedback was really appreciated. Unfortunately, I had already started the timer when I posted. I did do the first 2 chapters because they were so easy (especially with the discounted jester), but I will definitely take your advice into consideration and keep checking the forum to see how crazy the future chapters get before expending any further resources. Thank you so much for taking the time to help :-)

P.S. Is there a difference between musical parchment and muted parchment, or is that a typo in the original post?

Has anyone purchased the value pack? Where you get the tent ( traveling bards) and a bunch of other stuff? What does that drop?! Anyone know 樂

I've gemed ahead as usual... I just can't help myself and obviously can't be trusted playing these quest. I can't remember everything your need but here's a little heads up! Get your pigs out or grow some pigs now!! Make sure you have lots of silver and jewels!

I wasn't done ! Lol. Don't use any simple feast you have made.... And start making more! I think you need about 10.... You'll have to make corn ( but it only counts to plant and gather it not what you already have) You'll have to collect from a market 4 times and from cottages 20 times? Maybe 30?? Hope this helps :)

If you click on the tent in the value pack, it turns around and the back says it is Traveling Bards. Sounds like a decoration and doesn't mention having any drops. Pretty cool looking, though.

Thanks for the heads up on the goals. Sounds like it's going to get harder.

Don't forget that you can craft living wood from 10 regular wood and 20 white petals and 5 water (I think) in the potion shop. This has saved me before. You can also invest in living trees for 129 gems that drop living wood, 2 or 3 at a time.

I just wanted to add to post 1 that patch of tall grass did not count for me for debris, but plant in a log did and they are only 500 coins and 2 chops to clear.

The cottage or the market didn't have to be a level 5... At least I don't remember that they did.... And yes 4 times for the market!!! So if you have more than one that's best!! There's a lot of collecting coming up, on 50 pigs, a bunch corn ( that needs to be planted then harvested)
Ok, so:
(10?) Simple feasts
Have pigs out (as many as possible!)
Hang on to Silver and Jewels
Plant and Gather Corn (So no pre-planting, just empty plots but not until Act 6/7+)
Put out Markets and Cottages (Act 6+ if you're tight on space)(level doesn't seem to matter)
..and Act 5 wanted Collect from 2 Lvl 5 Libraries (or 1 twice)
Whew!

20 Lutes ( very easy to get)
10 Bow ( easy drops more than one at a time
And 50 silver ( this isn't the first time I needed silver)

You have to collect from the cottage quite a bit so more than two or more would be beneficial for you to have out!

I also used Plant In A Log, finished off chops (9/10) on Dark Cave Formation didn't count. I wouldn't normally experiment on them but I had some from Adventures and was low on Silver and Jewels anyways. I also tried Patch of Tall Grass and Fern Patch - they did not count.

We could all add you and send living wood as gifts for a couple of days. You'd be maxed out in no time!

And a huge thank you for all the advance info. Terribly useful for those of us who work and have more spare time at the weekend.

[vuvhappy]

No, unfortunately. I went hunting all over my kingdom and nothing dropped parchment but the music stand.

I got the parchment from the Library many of them I think around 10 check again

[PrincessCelestian]

My level 5 library just dropped 7 parchments in one drop! I only keep one on my board permanently so have just placed my other one on there and am building another. Fingers crossed they all drop such a large number.

[88silver]

Patch of Tall Grass and Fern Patch don't count as debris. Of course I found this out after buying and placing ten. And now, thanks to the "bug" of bring unable to sell this stuff, I have to waste energy to get rid of them. :mad:

Please, S8, if you want this "bug" to neuter the fortune teller's tent, could you at least let us store items that are bought but haven't been chopped at all yet?

[ktorewqas]

I wonder how many levels of the ground? Lvl 6 in Chapter 6. So might it be lvl 10 lol
I think the ink might be much needed material since every 2 hrs, we could get 2-6, average 2?3?. Lvl 4-6, we need 22 sheets (66 inks) + 22 ink for lvl 2 & 3.

[kdgulle]

Storm 8, so far so good on this quest, it's fun yet not overly stressful trying to collect everything. While the chapter ends, we still have to collect to get our numbers back up on petals, we have time to get more ink and parchment, you've made this doable for all. I hope the quest continues on like this.
I don't mind parchments dropping from the library because there is a drop of 3 or 7. I'm glad you took our suggestions for this storybook, so far so good.

[kdgulle]

50 living wood? ok, that ended the event for me. i dont have any >.> impossible getting that much together.

Im not sure what level your on, but the sawmills and chopping trees give living wood. If you're only only on chapter 3 you have time to start collecting them to build them up. Use your energy chopping trees and the sawmills. If it's counting what you have in inventory it is possible. Yes ask your neighbors to send you living wood. You can et 3 a day.

[TabyKat14]

You can collect ink from Old Thomas's hours as well as the jester!

[pieandcream]

big thanks to the guys that have added me to gift living wood! xoxox!!
been using all energy to making living wood in the smithy thing since i noticed the living wood requirement. lets see.... >.<

and been chopping logs since i can get petals along with wood ;) stock my petals back up after using for quest.

Chapter 7

Goal 1 - Plant then harvest corn (0/30)

Goal 2 - Tend adult pigs (0/50)
(This sounds daunting, but was fairly easy. All pigs count - Royal, Albino, Pink, Black, and Sir Pigglesworth.)

Goal 3 - Collect from Level 7 Festival Grounds.
Upgrade to Level 7 requires 50 jewels, 15 red petal, 15 sheet music, 10 lutes.

There's always a limited resource and it is definitely the ink. Thomas usually only drops 1 every 2 hrs. as well as the jolly jester. I very rarely get 3 at a time. Parchment is plentiful - always waiting on ink. At least that's been my experience so far.

Thank you!! My land is filled with pigs who love to read. Lol I love that the libraries are helping with the parchment.

For those who did Ivy's petting zoo (and some other quest it seems) ...there's finally a use for all those pigs we had to raise! I had almost 30 in storage :eek: so I've got enough out that it will only take 2 collections.

does anyone know the trees that yield the best return on living wood? I did check the hub but I may have overlooked it haha or are chances the same from all trees?

[Nikospets]

I did the update after initial collection and it seems to count new musical inks correctly now but those previously collected are still wrong. The bug fix should have taken care of this too. No need to have two different counters for the same item within the code.

Sorry to ask this question but I wasn't having an issue with the musical ink counting in both story book and side counter until today! I have closed multipal times with no success. Does anyone have any suggestion?

Right before tending to all those pigs is an excellent time to craft Feed the Baron in the kitchen too! We should gets lots of bacon and truffles on that step.

For those in need of living wood, if you have the faerie tea party and the bidding booth (from the horse track event), they are also fairly good sources. Bidding booth also drops jewels.

The living wood tree is wonderful to have when you need lots of living wood! My two normally drop 1-3 each (I invested in the second one during the faerie bulb quest). Personally I prefer that to crafting, because I dislike collecting petals. Lol
The faerie flower bed is a great addition also, it drops petals, faeries murmur, and seeds. If you haven't done the Team Azalea/Lila event yet, you will get the chance to craft one here:

I am so over 'Ask neighbours for...' It is currently 1 1/2 hrs after reset. I have asked everybody that I accepted requests from plus a few as I don't like to bother a lot of extra people. Now since these people couldn't ask me till the same time I could ask them, why aren't I getting requests back? It's as if the system gets blocked up. Do they just send their requests out and not bother to check for incoming or are they just not getting mine? And don't get me started on that Jester, he is the stingiest thing out, I'd like to ring the little bell I assume he has on his hat and wake him up!

can u imagine the smoke coming out of CS server with all the players' requests at the same time? :eek:
without blaming nbrs.. we just have to wait till 'ours' and 'their' requests are delivered to each game.. both ways.. hoping the server does it's best.

I've answered all requests promptly, and just made my 5. I think five is a reasonable number compared with the silly number of requests in the last goals. One of the issues is people being in different time zones, so maybe some of your neighbours are asleep. Plus people being away doing other things (I'm about to have to put my game down for a few hours). And the server chokes up... Close and reload as you may find you've had responses your game isn't picking up yet.

The good news is the remaining goals are fairly swift. Though it would have helped if the sheet music crafting could have started with the day instead of waiting till we got the 5 returns.

EDIT: There's a list for stage 6 on page 15 (I think).

Psst Bubble... Added you so get a request in quick ;)

Thanks, just saw & accepted your request. Just got the last one, took 2 1/4 hrs. It's not a matter of people being in different time zones, these were people that had just sent me requests, & they couldn't send them till reset time. That's the problem with storybooks, the system can get jammed up as everyone is asking at the same time whereas if everything just kept flowing along and never stopped for the day, the requests would be spaced out. I agree that it is so good we were only asked for 5 and not 20. Also I had force closed about 8 times during that time, so it wasn't that. Once again thanks.

So any word yet of whether Aanpa is deco or a kingdom walker???

I hope he's a kingdom walker!! :cool:
With all the beautiful deco we've been getting lately I have no idea where to put him if he's deco :confused:

Also should point out the String Quartet isn't a string quartet!!!
There's a drummer and a flutist! (not string instruments!) It's just a band!
Would be lovely if someone at Storm8 could correct this label pretty please ;)
"Band On Tour", "Traveling Minstrels" or "Gypsy Band" might be more appropriate.

Also loving finally having the Traveling Bards in my kingdom! :o
Thanks Storm8

This event seems good in fitting into tight schedules. So far so good!

It's the weekend in S8 land, so no news yet about whether Aanpa moves or not.

I've held off the upgrade even though I've got all the maerials, just in case it bugs the game up.
Don't think there are any advantages upgrading in advance.

Aren't those kingdom walkers part of the main story line?
I don't want any deco either and wish they would let us know beforehand. But I wouldn't mind if this satyr would just stand around and drop something useful once in a while, like energy.

Oh, no, others and I had just been going off of your pic posts/descriptions. (I thought you had data mined it all)

The cross-eyed cherry girl Anthea(?) wasn't a main story character but she stumbles around now too. Actually I'd love if this little dude wandered around our kingdom. Sober, ofcourse though.

whoever is familiar with looking up and finding answers in the forum (not me) lol! can have the answer. were the walking figures we already have been classified as 1x1?? and also.. our present walking figures do not give drops :( so.. already I assume.. he will be standing still. even though I hope he'll be walking around.

Yeah I've had a busy weekend here and seem to be on top of it without too much thought
... Let's hope the later tasks aren't too intensive
Thanks to all the people powering ahead so we can go in prepared! Much appreciated!

Bhahaha! yes let's hope Aanpa doesn't arrive off his face like Anthea was when she came.
She's sobered up now at least ;) I quite enjoy her flying round my kingdom.
Fingers crossed Aanpa will be a walker.

[RevdKathy]

He reminds me of the leprechaun in posture, so I suspect he's the same sort of decoration, with occasional drops. I'll decide when I see him whether to appoint him to look after my mythical beasts (which might be appropriate for him) or to stick him in a cupboard. I only keep things out if they're useful.

It's really weird that they named her Anthia. If you look it up it is a type of ground beetle.

*Update, I got halfway through the 50+ pages. Don't think I needed to look that far anyways. The event was introduced specifically as one that would bring a character in: 'Can you hear that? Has someone new gotten lost in the Glimmerwood? Everyone, do what you can to help this newcomer! Retreat not from this opportunity... Rulers far and wide may find themselves a new friend, if they lend a hand! ". This one didn't seem to have that hype. Guess we wait til Monday to be sure.

[Babs526]

Is anyone having an issue with the disparity in musical ink verses parchment. You can only get musical ink from the Jolly Jester and Old Thomas' House and you can only have one Old Thomas house. The musical ink comes from the Music Stand and libraries and you can build multiple libraries. With four libraries and having made 4 music sheets to upgrade to level 4, I have 5 musical ink to 42 parchment. There are a lot more music sheets to make and musical ink seems like it will be the bottleneck.

Also on the side challenges, I have had an inconsistency between whether you need to posess the flowers or actually collect (I'm playing on two accounts). On my second account I had to collect white flowers but not the other color. Today on my main account i have to collect 10 blue flowers even though i was maxed before upgrading.

this is getting to be a mysterious complicated intrest.. male? female? male with female name? don't see anything female on the figure? just loving music and playing the flute.. or walking around drunk as 'playful' satyrs? monday will soon be here.. but I doubt if we'll receive an answer. it will be a mystery till the end :)

yup, def got a ink shortage. they do this intentionally so we are more inclined to buy stuff to help with quests. also old t house and music stand usually just drop 1 ink each time for me. >.> but ah well, just gotta roll with the punches XD

[Stymie52]

Just got to Chapter 6, Goal 3. This is collecting from Festival Grounds Level 6. You need 10 sheet music to level up. The ink slows you down as I also only get 1 from the jester and only 1 from Old Thomas' House each collection.
In the meantime, I am busy whipping up simple feasts for the future. All my pigs are out. Love that bacon!
Very much enjoying this event. Don't feel this time that I have to be doing this all day to finish.

would be a dream come true if the Festival dropped multiple ink as well (sigh!).. but nothing less than 3 :)

[CocoMom101]

Start chopping trees, there is a few days left till that goal.
I have exhausted my living woods upgrading the faerie bulb (only half way through) and really appreciate this heads up.

Remember you can make living wood in the Potion Shop as well.

[pieandcream]

with the ever increasing quantity required, i doubt it ll be doable unless more ink drops.....since we only have a day per upgrade .... well, lets see.

Um, it is clearly a string drum and a string flute...

Hi all! I'm working today, so I will be around at lunch (6.30am for me now) to write up goals. Till then, I have closed the sneak peek, merged threads (thanks for starting it Solientus :)). If there are any issues, can you PM me so I can action it faster. Thanks all!
Spirit at #1 you say you need 50 gems to upgrade to level 7! Is that the only way to upgrade? I have nothing like that amount and no way to earn enough in the time allowed.

Edit. I think maybe I misunderstood. Is it 50 gems OR the other petals and stuff?

[PrincessCupOButter]

Chapter 7

Goal 1 - Plant then harvest corn (0/30)

Goal 2 - Tend adult pigs (0/50)
(This sounds daunting, but was fairly easy. All pigs count - Royal, Albino, Pink, Black, and Sir Pigglesworth.)

Goal 3 - Collect from Level 7 Festival Grounds.
Upgrade to Level 7 requires 50 jewels, 15 red petal, 15 sheet music, 10 lutes.

There's always a limited resource and it is definitely the ink. Thomas usually only drops 1 every 2 hrs. as well as the jolly jester. I very rarely get 3 at a time. Parchment is plentiful - always waiting on ink. At least that's been my experience so far.


Spirit at #1 you say you need 50 gems to upgrade to level 7! Is that the only way to upgrade? I have nothing like that amount and no way to earn enough in the time allowed.

It's jewels, not gems. Thankfully! The material requirements are also listed in the quote above.
You can get these from mines, chopping rocks, jewelers and Sabinas house. (Those are the main sources.)

[PrincessCupOButter]

From page one post one:


The reward for finishing the event (before the timer runs out) is Aanpa the Satyr - a young satyr, here to join in the musical festivities!

[kattkrazie]

Since this quest hasn't required any adventures (so far), I've been sending out the Search the Dark Caves. I've gotten several dark cave formations from that adventure and chopping it gives a lot of jewels and silver for this quest.

Also, on a positive note, in Chapter 8, the drop rate for musical ink has gotten much better. In the lower levels, I almost always received 1 ink from Thomas and 1 from the jester. But both of them dropped 3 inks 3 times in a row this morning. Hopefully that trend will continue.

[Stymie52]

Just collected from Old Thomas and for the first time got 3 musical inks.

Just collected from the Mystic Harp and got 3 lutes. Things are getting a little better for me. Maybe as we get higher up in the quest, the drops will get better. We can only hope!

[kattkrazie]

Arrggghh. I have been out-smarted by artificial intelligence. I was lulled into a false sense of security by the high drop rates of parchment. So I stored my extra libraries several chapters ago. Now the tides have turned and I have 15 ink while my parchments have dried up (pun intended). I used gems to collect from the music stand and got only 1 parchment.

So keep your extra libraries out and collect from them regularly. You'll be glad later.

[undead30k]

Do we have to have 50 pigs out ready to be collected from?? Or can we have 25 pigs and collect twice from them??

I have around 37 pigs total

[kattkrazie]

You don't need to collect from 50 at once. I only had 20 pigs out. They have a 2 hr. timer but Sir Pigglesworth has a 1 hr. timer so I was able to collect twice from him while waiting on the others.

[RevdKathy]

I only have about 8 pigs. But reckoning I will need the full day to make all the m****cript I should have time to visit all the piggies.

Do simple feasts from inventory count as I am maxed currently and I have no time to do 10 adventures to spend them to be able to make 10 more this is a crucial piece of information for me and will decide whether I continue or not with the quest.
