Spellbound
prepared by SpiritWind

Main Storyline. Not timed.
Link to Main Goal Guide - for pictures:

The spellbound bloom is under Decorations rather than Nature in the market.


Optional Goal:

Dialogue:
Ruler: Hmm... We sure need a lot of Spellbound Dew to make these materials. Is there anyway for us to get more of it faster?
Ivy: I think I have a way! There's a rare flower which blooms from the combination of nature and magic. If we get our hands on one, we'll be able to collect lots of Spellbound Dew!
Ruler: That sounds promising! Let's check it out!

This beautiful Spellbound Bloom will drop even more Spellbound Dew! Let's get one for the kingdom!
1. A Blooming Bonus
* Purchase a Spellbound Bloom 0/1 BUY | market 300 gems
* Rewards: +60 gems
Congratulations: Ivy: Look at all that Spellbound Dew!



Goals:

Dialogue:
Ivy: Let's see...just a pinch of this...and a little bit of that...Oh rats!
Ruler: Hey Ivy, uh, everything OK?
Ivy: Oh, don't mind me! Just experimenting with this Spellbound Dew.
Ruler: Spellbound Dew?
Ivy: Yeah! It's a sticky dew you can find from Flowers, it's great for holding things together. I was trying to make some Spellbound blocks and Spellbound Beams. Figures some of the Kingdom's buildings could use a little sprucing up! I just...haven't quite nailed the ingredients.
Ruler: That's not a bad idea, Ivy! I'll see what I can find around the Kingdom and help you out.

Look around the Kingdom and check the flowers for Spellbound Dew! We'll use that to make Spellbound Blocks and Beams!
1. Spellbound Construction
* Find Spellbound Dew 0/20 FIND (skip 10 gems)
* Make a Spellbound Beam or Block 0/1 CRAFT (skip 160 gems)
* Upgrade a building to Level 6 0/1 BUILD (skip 320 gems)
Rewards: nil.
Congratulations: Ivy: Wow! That building is in tip-top shape!
Note: you can upgrade a farmhouse or sparkling mine to level 6 without any spellbound dew to complete the upgrade goal.

There are some building upgrades that do not require Spellbound Beams or Blocks to upgrade them to Level 6.

[sourp4tch]

Alongside the main storyline update, today we released Level 6 upgrades and new building materials for some buildings!

[==Update requires Level 26 or higher, and will be here to stay.==]


Some Level 6 upgrades will require the use of Spellbound Beams and/or Spellbound Blocks
Craft Spellbound Beams and Spellbound Blocks using the brand new resource, Spellbound Dew!
Spellbound Dew has a chance to drop from Ivy's hut and flowers
Need more Spellbound Dew? Get the brand new Spellbound Bloom to give your kingdom a constant, guaranteed supply!


Hope you all enjoy this update!

[sunnygirl634]

Would you be willing to confirm if the Multi-Colored Hedge also drops Spellbound Dew?

[sourp4tch]

Would you be willing to confirm if the Multi-Colored Hedge also drops Spellbound Dew?

The Multi-Colored Hedge does not drop Spellbound Dew.

[sunnygirl634]

The Multi-Colored Hedge does not drop Spellbound Dew.

Thanks so much for the confirmation!

[ashley224]

Collected four times from each of the following and received zero spellbound dew
Red Trillium
Iceland Poppy
Blue Flower Penstemon
Rocket Larkspur
Talinum Aurantium
Bush

If anyone finds a flower that works please let me know which one.

[sunnygirl634]

I'm pretty sure the only goal that goes with this update is the "Full Circle." The other two go with the Spellbound materials for upgrading buildings to level 6. There is another thread now for that.

Maybe S8 doesn't want us to upgrade with the speed of light! Let's take our time and have fun with it. :).

[Zirilka]

I got 3 from Ivy.

Another collection of four each still nothing, out of energy

[jodi0122]

I just got one from a Talinum Auranticum and one from a Rocket Lockspur.. however seems to be a rare drop

[Deborah1981]

Havent seen any Spellbound Dew drops yet, any sightings??

The new flower in the market how many Dew does it drop and how often

[flowerqueen007]

Just clicked on one of my mines, it can be upgraded, now I know why we need something that drops gold nuggets :D Also deep mines, verysneaky S8

[ladyperidot]

I haven't gotten any of these yet, but I did check a couple of buildings. Conservatory can be upgraded to level 6, it takes two each of spell bound blocks and beams (along with a couple of other thing). Tavern takes three each

[Clark_Wayne]

anyone knows if it is worth buying the spellbound bloom ?

32933

[pilotsoft]

Just received 3 ... dew from Ivy's Hut. Not sure, probably, I'll buy this Spellbound bloom. For upgrade only tavern we need 120 dew. 40 times successfully collect from Ivy = 20 days. For marketplace 27 times etc.
Ok, Spbd bloom is 2 hours counter, 8 diamonds for speed up, 3 times it gives me 2 dew. Calculate it.

[Lyzau]

After 40 flower collections and 1 Ivy collection, still not even one dew.
I suppose it is a very very rare drop, hence the Spellbound Bloom that can be bought for gems. We need 20 dew for a beam or block, and from what I can tell, most buildings will need two of each for the upgrade. I trust I will have my level 6 buildings by the end of 2018 at this rate! :D

[embroideress]

I’ve only tried the flowers that were from the stag quest since they were the only ones I had out. Nothing yet.

These are the level 6 upgrade requirements I can see from my buildings. No level 6 upgrade for the Royal Chateau or Wizard School.

Conservatory: 2 Spellbound Beams, 2 Spellbound Blocks, 20 Glimmerdusts, 75 Purple Petals
Lantern Spire: 2 Spellbound Beams, 2 Spellbound Blocks, 2 Golden Nuggets, 15 Mermaid Scales
Library: 2 Spellbound Beams, 2 Spellbound Blocks, 20 Glimmerdusts, 8 Super Glues
Marketplace: 2 Spellbound Beams, 2 Spellbound Blocks, 20 Bacon, 10 Mermaid Scales
Stable: 2 Spellbound Beams, 2 Spellbound Blocks, 50 Carrots, 110,000 Coins
Tavern: 3 Spellbound Beams, 3 Spellbound Blocks, 20 Truffles, 3 Hearty Stews
Theater: 2 Spellbound Beams, 2 Spellbound Blocks, 20 Longswords, 40 Cabbages
Watchtower: 2 Spellbound Beams, 2 Spellbound Blocks, 2 Golden Nuggets, 4 Hearty Stews

The beams and blocks seem to take 2 Enchanted Beams/Blocks, 20 Spellbound Dew, and 10,000 coins each so it looks like it’ll take a while if the Dew is a rare drop.

[meme1098]

Yea...nothing dropping from any of the flowers I tapped --- blue, purple, white, red trillium, or even the faerie flower bed ????

[MoonVillage3]

One purple flower gave 2, but after many, many collections.. so not often at all.
This will be a long time collection to obtain enough for building upgrades.

[mcallister30]

I bought the Spellbound Bloom. 2 hour collection time. 8 gems to speed up. First collection yielded 2 Spellbound Dew.

[Solientus]

These are the level 6 upgrade requirements I can see from my buildings. No level 6 upgrade for the Royal Chateau or Wizard School.

Lantern Spire: 2 Spellbound Beams, 2 Spellbound Blocks, 2 Golden Nuggets, 15 Mermaid Scales

Theater: 2 Spellbound Beams, 2 Spellbound Blocks, 20 Longswords, 40 Cabbages
Watchtower: 2 Spellbound Beams, 2 Spellbound Blocks, 2 Golden Nuggets, 4 Hearty Stews

Fantastic list! Much appreciated.

I have quite a few things not at level 5 yet plus a ton of expanding to do yet - so upgrading to level 6 would be a super long term goal for me.

Has anyone purchased the 240 Gem thing? Curious what drop rates and timer is.
I'm in no rush so I probably won't purchase it but might be enticed by the answer.

*Edit - Found my answer :P

How many does it drop and how often can you collect from it
Got my answer thank you

[katbtodd]

Really don't like the idea of collection all these flowers when I'm max on all the petals

Thank you

[pilotsoft]

Encore, 3 times in a row - 2 Splbd dew. 2 days = Splbd block or beam.

[MoonVillage3]

For those who don't see new 6th grade uplevels.. turn game off and allow to recharge again. This worked for me.

[ashley224]

Upgraded a farmhouse to level 6 without any spellbound dew

[meme1098]

Upgraded a farmhouse to level 6 without any spellbound dew

And it checked off the upgrade to level 6 goal...:)

[MoonVillage3]

... also Blue Flower gave 2

[ashley224]

Upgrading the sparkling mine to level 6 doesn't need the spellbound dew either

[MoonVillage3]

Upgraded a farmhouse to level 6 without any spellbound dew

same with Cottages.. no need of spellbound dew to upgrade to 6th

[Zirilka]

I'm contemplating whether or not to buy the Bloom. One thing puts me off, it's hideous.

[mina_32]

Spent almost 40 energy on flowers and got nothing. Received nothing from Ivy as well.

[MoonVillage3]

how about adding an exchange or some use in the potion shop to use up some of these colored petals and dyes instead of throwing them all away?
there are hundreds wasted finding the dew!!!

[Em_storm]

Spent almost 40 energy on flowers and got nothing. Received nothing from Ivy as well.
Me too :(

This is a great idea. A "Floral Trade" or a "Trade to Dye For"

[meme1098]

I think someone forgot to add the drop. This is ridiculous. Should've been a few after all that energy.

[NorthWoodsKingdom]

I'm contemplating whether or not to buy the Bloom. One thing puts me off, it's hideous.
I'm a bit put off by the SIZE...just testing it before actually purchasing and it's HUUUGE at 2x2!!

S8~ Space on our boards is so precious, would you PLEASE consider shrinking this new Bloom to 1x1 like all other regular flowers?

[eastie41]

TO upgrade farmhouse to Level 6
2 enchanted beams, 2 enchanted blocks, 40 milk, 40 eggs

TO upgrade cottage to Level 6
2 enchanted beams, 2 enchanted blocks, 20 fur, 10 yellow dye

[caron7]

I?ve only tried the flowers that were from the stag quest since they were the only ones I had out. Nothing yet.

These are the level 6 upgrade requirements I can see from my buildings. No level 6 upgrade for the Royal Chateau or Wizard School.

Conservatory: 2 Spellbound Beams, 2 Spellbound Blocks, 20 Glimmerdusts, 75 Purple Petals
Lantern Spire: 2 Spellbound Beams, 2 Spellbound Blocks, 2 Golden Nuggets, 15 Mermaid Scales
Library: 2 Spellbound Beams, 2 Spellbound Blocks, 20 Glimmerdusts, 8 Super Glues
Marketplace: 2 Spellbound Beams, 2 Spellbound Blocks, 20 Bacon, 10 Mermaid Scales
Stable: 2 Spellbound Beams, 2 Spellbound Blocks, 50 Carrots, 110,000 Coins
Tavern: 3 Spellbound Beams, 3 Spellbound Blocks, 20 Truffles, 3 Hearty Stews
Theater: 2 Spellbound Beams, 2 Spellbound Blocks, 20 Longswords, 40 Cabbages
Watchtower: 2 Spellbound Beams, 2 Spellbound Blocks, 2 Golden Nuggets, 4 Hearty Stews

The beams and blocks seem to take 2 Enchanted Beams/Blocks, 20 Spellbound Dew, and 10,000 coins each so it looks like it?ll take a while if the Dew is a rare drop.


Hmmm.. A lot if these things just drop coins. Is it confirmed that even at the level 6 upgrade the structure will continue to just drop coins? (Watchtower, spire, marketplace, for example). I'm always maxed on things from the mine as well. We can choose where each if us needs to concentrate effort then.

I've never upgraded the chateau. It wants 10 trade tickets to upgrade and drop 600 coins every 6 hours... It is mostly in storage, even though I like the look :(

[ashley224]

well at least it's not timed.. we can upgrade very, very slowly at each our own step

But only if we use a ton of energy collecting from flowers that we don't need the petals from. Many of us have used over 40 energy for nothing. How many energy will it take to collect the required spellbound dew for upgrades? Eventually we will be forced to use level 6 buildings. I'm not impressed.

[caron7]

I'm a bit worried about the ongoing event. If we are all spending energy on tapping flowers, will we reach the community goal for the Desert night quest? :confused:

[azorisland]

Flowers not working for me 🙉🙉🙉🙈🙈🙈

[quintown]

I moved a lvl 5 tavern and it's now upgradable- using the new dew materials- I'm thinking this must be the upgrade building?

[nessa005]

Spellbound Bloom dropped 4 for me the first time. I've had nothing from any of my flowers, 45 wasted energy. this is going to be a lovely addition for those of us with no goals left, rather like Sister Sister, do it at your own pace. A trade for extra petals or a craft to use them would be great.

[LadyLolepere]

What flowers can be harvested? Mine aren't giving me anything

[sophiensissi]

Both cottages and farmhouses can be upgraded to level 6 without the new spellbound items.

[LadyLolepere]

What flowers can be harvested ... Mine aren't giving me anything....where are the lists of things we are going to need? I'm still trying to get sand and travels done from the last quest

[LadyLolepere]

What flowers?

[LadyLolepere]

I tried these too

[izzyiza]

No luck either with any type of flowers. I wasted tons of energy! ��

[ashley224]

I've used 100 energy on flowers and not a single spellbound dew. I'm not wasting anymore energy on flowers. I'm putting away all my flowers and only collecting from Ivy's Hut which isn't a guaranteed drop either but apparently a better drop rate than flowers. I agree with Moon, this will be a very, very, agonizingly slow process.

[katbtodd]

We got another sister sister here

[Galadraal]

I see I have one dew in my inventory but I have no idea where it came from

[vickyville14]

Is there something we need to do first before the dew starts dropping from flowered? Do we need to complete the other goal first? No luck from any of my flowers thus far.

[55lee55]

I harvested all my flowers and flowerbeds and not a single drop for this quest. I might just skip this. Certainly not spending 300 coins for a bloom that drops for one quest. At least the other quest counts when you collect from the required buildings. Has anyone actually collected anything from flowers? Looks like once again a quest has gone online without being checked to make sure it actually works.

[newzealander]

Spent almost 40 energy on flowers and got nothing. Received nothing from Ivy as well.
Me also. 60 energy on flowers, and I have one.

[riverly]

Goal is not timed. I think I will do this a little bit at a time, and let the dew drop whenever. I'm not wasting energy on picking flowers that I'm maxed on. Waste of energy.

[rst345]

Me too :(


This is a great idea. A "Floral Trade" or a "Trade to Dye For"
A fantastic idea! Very sad to ignore the petals piling up & have the black banner flying.

[Galadraal]

Me too :(


This is a great idea. A "Floral Trade" or a "Trade to Dye For"

love this idea

[meme1098]

I'm not bothering with flowers any longer since it appears no drops there. Even with an ultra rare drop, 60 taps is way outta line! Again, someone forgot to add the drop...

[labsandboxers]

I have decided to not do this particular event. First with the 300 gem purchase. Then reading the issues people are having. I will concentrate on the desert event

[kattkrazie]

I've gotten the dew from rocket larkspur twice.

[1ch1ps]

I tried the white flowers ... Hoping for a 2-for-1 with them...I'm still working on the faery bowl upgrade quest....I know I won't finish the timed one...not working so can't buy gems anymore.

[PinkEquinox]

SW: windmill lvl 6
3 spellbound beams/blocks
60 wool
60 hide

[totalwasteoftime]

We got another sister sister here

At least at the end of Sister sister we got... Hmmm, I can't remember. And remember Sir Daisy with endless fertilizer collections for a horse that drops... an occasional bag of fertilizer and the same hair as all my other coin horses! Most of my versions of the buildings on the list aren't fully upgraded since I really see no difference in the drops from the level 1s and I'm in no need of coins. I too am maxed on flower petals and barely have any flowers on my board. Ivys Hut has always been one of my favorites though, so for now I'm content to just collect from her!

[fish63]

Anyone getting spellbound dew from flowers? If so, which ones?

[ladyperidot]

I've wasted enough energy on flowers and getting NO dew. Time to put them all back in Storage. They take up space and are an energy drain. I got three from Ivys hut. I have 4-ish days to decide if I want the fancy flower at the discounted rate of 240 gems.

[dragoonland7]

Until T/L, S8 fixes the drop rate I'm not wasting anymore energy on flowers for this.

[storiadelcastello]

Spellbound dew from Ivy's hut (3) but nothing from flowers. Tried at least 4 of each: red, yellow, white, blue, and purple! Nada

[oliverrr11]

S8, please flip the switch so we can Do the Dew

[storiadelcastello]

Spellbound bloom 240 gems (after rebate) has two hour timer

[SpiritWind00]

S8, please flip the switch so we can Do the Dew
I think you'll find that the spellbound dew is just a rare drop. There have already been reports of drops from various flowers, so it's not broken, just rare. :)

[Clark_Wayne]

bought the spellbound bloom
1st drop : 2 dew
2nd drop : 4 dew

got from ivy hut : 4 dew

[izzyiza]

I think you'll find that the spellbound dew is just a rare drop. There have already been reports of drops from various flowers, so it's not broken, just rare. :)

It's more than rare! I spent at least 100 energy on flowers and not a single drop! :(

[coolssp]

I too bought the spellbound doom oops I meant bloom :) All my buildings are level 5 and I'm maxed on all building materials so something new to do. I'm actually maxed on nuggets too ;)

[izzyiza]

It's more than rare! I spent at least 100 energy on flowers and not a single drop! :(

So a few minutes after I posted this, I got 1 drop from a talinum auranticum. But the next 6 or so flowers yielded nothing (couldn't check more as I ran out of energy)

[oliverrr11]

It's so rare that it IS broken

[izzyiza]

So a few minutes after I posted this, I got 1 drop from a talinum auranticum. But the next 6 or so flowers yielded nothing (couldn't check more as I ran out of energy)

2nd drop from the same flower out of about 10 of energy in the past 10 minutes. However, I did spend over 100 of energy to get those two drops. That said, I think I'll get all the talinum auranticum from my inventory and put them in my board.

[oliverrr11]

bought the spellbound bloom
1st drop : 2 dew
2nd drop : 4 dew

got from ivy hut : 4 dew

Spellbound bloom is not letting me collect from it in the market

All types of flowers: 0

Got from ivy hut: squat

[Araleth]

Joining in the plea for more Dew Drop drops! Must have used at least 110 energy and got 3 dew plus 2 from Miss Ivey. That's NOT doin' the DEW S8. There's rare and then there's Whaaaat? Come on guys, let's keep it fair. Not everyone can buy the magical dew drop flower.

[DrP4ever]

Over 100 energy on flowers plus Ivys hut and no Dew. This is more than a RAre drop!

[myhsplace]

No clue after doin everything, including the chateau, and not one dew after 100 energy. dew are only from ivy hut and the flowers from what it said but, the flowers in game seem to be dried up and dehydrated like the ones in the real world are, due to the heatwave we are having these days, because not one dew dropped from the fewwww; white, yellow, pink and blue flowers, nor the event ones, that i harvested (had no orange or purple flowers out). i got 3 dews from ivy's hut and thats all.

[CuteTali]

Such a cool update! But now there's sooo much work trying to upgrade all the buildings, that would literally take me years.

Has anyone figured out yet which would be the most useful building to upgrade first? I am thinking maybe the deep mine, to reduce the long collection time.

Can't upgrade the wizard schools though :-/

[CuteTali]

Also, this game has gotten so big, they really should just let us hold 60-80 energy at a time, logging in for just 40 energy is not very motivating and items that drop energy are not the same as having a larger pool of saved energy every time I get into the game.

[coolssp]

S8 should also look at increasing levels of players :) just something to look forward to I guess

[roguebee]

Amphitheater: 5 Spellbound Beam, 5 Spellbound Block, 5 Golden Nugget, 311,000 coins
Cathedral: 5 Spellbound Beam, 5 Spellbound Block, 5 Golden Nugget, 5 Lumin Essence
Royal Chateau: 4 Royal Blocks, 4 Royal Beams, 10 Trade Tickets, 4 Super Glues
Spire of Love: no change
Sawmill: 80 water, 3 Spellbound Beam, 3 Spellbound Block, 211,000 coins

[ashley224]

3 dew from Ivy's Hut

[janddolphins]

I too went for the spellbound bloom as this is not a quest per se but part of the game as it opens up a new building block and allows many buildings to upgrade. It's going to be painfully slow as is so I figured the boost of the bloom will help and I had the gems so figured get it with the rebate. I think this is a fun addition to the game as it's something that we can work on at our own pace and they raised the cap to so many buildings.

So far first collection was 2. It seems like from others you get 2 or 4. Since its not a time challenge I don't anticipate collecting every 2 hours, but if I get and additional 3 or so collections a day it will add up slowly.

[netwiz3]

Something seems broken/not working right with dew from flowers... (Even if some players have gotten a couple). It's not possible to collect hundreds of flowers and get 0 dew unless something is broken with Storm8s random drop algorithm. :(

[puzzlecatz]

I have tried all of these as well as the fire lily several times and still no spellbound dew. Seriously thinking about purchasing the spellbound bloom but only if we get a special deal on gems or a special package with the spellbound bloom in it

[paisley777]

I can't afford that Dew flowers and the drops are soooo unbelievably rare in regular flowers. Frankly, I'm just not going to bother with it. I have better things to spend my energy on than endless flower harvests.

[storiadelcastello]

dew are only from ivy hut and the flowers from what it said but, the flowers in game seem to be dried up and dehydrated like the ones in the real world are, due to the heatwave we are having these days, because not one dew dropped from the fewwww; white, yellow, pink and blue flowers, nor the event ones, that i harvested (had no orange or purple flowers out). i got 3 dews from ivy's hut and thats all.

Having same lack of luck with flowers. Got the spellbound bloom for 240 gems (after rebate) gave me 4 dews with a 2 hour timer. I will update this info if amounts appear random

[SpiritWind00]

I think it's ok to just let them accumulate through normal game play and treat this update a bit like Trials and Tributes. I don't have any space on my board for flowers; my focus is solely on trade tickets and the current event. I did upgrade a farmhouse and sparkling mine but the time difference was minimal (and didn't require any spellbound blocks or beams).

I have asked S8 about the drop rate for dew from flowers and will post when I hear back.

[preinsko]

I'm with you! I can't afford 300 gems for a stupid flower. As long as don't have unfinished building I'll take my time.

[29vanilla]

I too went for the spellbound bloom as this is not a quest per se but part of the game as it opens up a new building block and allows many buildings to upgrade. It's going to be painfully slow as is so I figured the boost of the bloom will help and I had the gems so figured get it with the rebate. I think this is a fun addition to the game as it's something that we can work on at our own pace and they raised the cap to so many buildings.

So far first collection was 2. It seems like from others you get 2 or 4. Since its not a time challenge I don't anticipate collecting every 2 hours, but if I get and additional 3 or so collections a day it will add up slowly.

I agree that if you're planning on purchasing the spellbound bloom, get it now while the rebate is available. (Wished I had got that eensy teensy little chick during the rebate. Ended up getting it full price but it did help complete my goals. Fortunately, it was a low cost gem purchase.)

But, I won't have enough gems for the bloom if I purchase the gold mine. It seems there's another increase now for golden nuggets for building level 6 upgrades. I guess that's why it's in the market right now. So the need for the rare drops of blooms and nuggets is going to make it difficult for many people.

Any good news on drops from those who purchased the gold mine?

I personally don't mind that it will take awhile to accumulate everything for the upgrades Bc it just lets us keep on playing CS.

Yes, upgrading the sparkling mine from level 5 to level 6 reduced collection time by 6 minutes.

[flowerqueen007]

Hope this is in the right place, where are you meme? (That is a joke, tongue is firmly in cheek, meme will understand :D )


I personally think you should try to get at least one stable and one hatchery to level six, storm 8 do like to finish events with something like "collect from a level x stable" and it will be less stressful to upgrade them now, just a thought.

[MoonVillage3]

Due to the fact the upgrading process of the buildings involved to level6 will be an EXTREMELY SLOW PROCESS.. it's best not to rush.. as dew drops are practically VERY rare.. and adding the fact that the then upgraded buildings gives very little profit.. why rush. All will happen in due time as will take months anyway.

Dew drops I've found from ORANGE, BLUE, PURPLE and RED flowers.. nothing from white yet after using more that 300energy I've collected ONLY 5! And of course Ivy's.

Yes the expensive and huge dew flower would help collecting dews, but would STILL be a slow process upgrading buildings as so many dews are needed for each beam/block.. personally I don't see any profit having it as would end up useless after the upgrading process and waiting 2months or instead 4.. is the same difference at this point.

What I do suggest to S8.. is OTHER USEFUL USES of the colored petals and dyes that are at max forever considering: energy is PRECIOUS and the MEGA collection of petals are just wasted and throw away without reason of producing something.
We all have the habit of not collecting anymore when materials are at max. Collecting a little more of a maxed object is accepted... but collecting MEGA amounts of maxed object is not logical, nor done willingly.

[DrP4ever]

Another 40+ energy and not a one! This is beyond rare if you need a bunch to make a beam or stone. Ridiculous!

[brigadoon365]

I can't afford that Dew flowers and the drops are soooo unbelievably rare in regular flowers. Frankly, I'm just not going to bother with it. I have better things to spend my energy on than endless flower harvests.

I'm with ya! Especially since I am now maxed on pretty much every petal. Wish that spellbound flower was a bit cheaper.

Oh well. It's not timed, so maybe one day. :D

Back to my ponds and marketplaces for sand and glass!

[letf8b]

Collected four times from each of the following and received zero spellbound dew
Red Trillium
Iceland Poppy
Blue Flower Penstemon
Rocket Larkspur
Talinum Aurantium
Bush

If anyone finds a flower that works please let me know which one.
First Time I tapped red trillium it dropped 1. Then 5 more times 0 drops. I did get 3 drops from Ivy's Hut.

[Zulac99]

I got a dew after only one day of tapping flowers. Oh joy! It should only take me a few months to upgrade a building from level 5 too 6. Nice quest.

[hagypagy]

This appears to be a long term undertaking, similar to "Sister, Sister" and "Trials and Tributes".

Gonna pay very little attention to it and just slowly plug away as the Spellbound Dew accumulates.
Not gonna try and collect from flowers for it.

The extremely rare drop of Spellbound Dew and the expense of the Spellbound Bloom looks like this is Storm8 trying to suck money from players who don't have any patience.

I just used all my gems on a Glimmer Crystal so it's gonna take me a while to even contemplate getting the Spellbound Bloom.

Seems a lot slower gathering gems these days than it used to. :(

A new trade in the Royal Exchange or craft in the Potion Shop to get Spellbound Dew would be amazing.

[Stymie52]

My first drop from the golden mine gave me a golden apple. Will let you know my second drop results in about 8 hours.

[Wonkaland99]

It seems that having so many timed events recently has got many people into "Hurry up, gotta finish, drops are inadequate" mode.
I am fine with having another LONG TERM goal working away in the background, and if the drops are ultra rare, so be it.

I do agree that it would be good to have another use for petals/dyes, but failing that, how about an increase in the cap frrom 99 to 999? That must be possible as the desert items have higher caps.

In the meantime it's back to collecing living wood and sap to craft the Faerie Sap needed for the Faerie Bulb.

Having just bought the Cabbage Hut, I have no gems for the Spellbound Flower, but I will buy it when I can. It will sit well with the Mythic Mushroomms.

[coolssp]

My spellbound bloom has consistently given only 2 dew drops in the 4 collections. I'm envious of players who reported 4 drops.

In the meantime, I've upgraded my mines to level 6 as they didn't require spellbound materials. Hopefully the drops change too :)

[naughtyimp]

Still no sign of my Spellbound Dew here, collected from all the flowers I have x4 each and from Ivy's hut x3 and nothing to show for it.....

[meme1098]

Hey there, flowerqueen :).
I'm in the Central time zone so sound asleep when you posted ... In the right place by the way ;).
I upgraded my farmhouse & will do others that can be done without the special beams & blocks after maxing my enchanted ones again. I'm not wasting any more energy on flowers but waiting to see what Ivy drops from her place & will take it very, very slow from here on.
BTW, 100+ taps without a drop is more than rare!....it's practically non-existent!

[PrincessCelestian]

Okay. What is the gold mine that everyone is talking about and how have I missed it?!?!? I don't see it is the shop anywhere.

[Ki250]

My first drop from the golden mine gave me a golden apple. Will let you know my second drop results in about 8 hours.

I have gotten three golden apples, four golden eggs, one golden nugget, two jewels and two glimmerdust. This is over a period of a six or seven days.

[paisley777]

Just what I was wondering!

The gold mine is a gem purchase for 520 gem. Available under deco at the market. Why under deco? I don't know. I just bought mine yesterday. Got a golden apple this morning. Lots of discussion about it in the thread about special purchases.

[CuteTali]

Yes, upgrading the sparkling mine from level 5 to level 6 reduced collection time by 6 minutes.

Any idea how much it reduces for deep mine? other upgrades were 30 minute difference with each upgrade.

[NorthWoodsKingdom]

It's really too bad that the Spellbound Blocks & Beams don't require Naga fins or seaweed or shell armor cuz I'm maxed on all 3 now and have NOTHING to craft with either one of 'em ... Maybe we'll get a Spellbound Spackle or *something* at some point so the Nagas have a purpose behind being once-in-while-coral-dropping eye candy? lol
*hint hint, S8*

[gracelinda]

Something seems broken/not working right with dew from flowers... (Even if some players have gotten a couple). It's not possible to collect hundreds of flowers and get 0 dew unless something is broken with Storm8s random drop algorithm. :(

When the quest says harvest from flowers, it probably means dew flowers.

[gracelinda]

I do not like when the game suggests you buy something for gems and becomes useless after the quest. I bought the bait shop thinking the bait droppings would be useful but it is just an extravagant useless building.

[ashley224]

Any idea how much it reduces for deep mine? other upgrades were 30 minute difference with each upgrade.

No idea, that upgrade requires lots of the spellbound dew of which I've collected only 3. The farmhouse had no difference in the collection time just gave a few extra coin.

[cyndora]

question...

do the buildings that get upgraded past level 5 change in looks? or do they stay the same with just a few more coins for collection?

also, i have been sitting on gems since the " aligate era" and was wondering if i should get the gold mine or this flower dew thing? any suggestions?....also i have no prob keeping my gems and waiting for my 5x5 waterfall...:)

[caron7]

I do not like when the game suggests you buy something for gems and becomes useless after the quest. I bought the bait shop thinking the bait droppings would be useful but it is just an extravagant useless building.. I completely agree. My bait shop is in storage.

Ivy's hut is not a guaranteed dew drop. I got just the usual petals, rat tails, etc. still dew-less here.

[bozotc19]

I have collected from over 200 flowers and have 0 dew. This is stupid. Simply a way for s8 to try to get us to spend gems...pathetic. I am bored with this game as it has evolved...used to be fun. Also, collected from Ivy........and.....got exactly 0 dew. Unbelievable! We are asked to open the game up every two hours and click on flowers 40 times for no results! Wow, exciting!

[cyndora]

I do not like when the game suggests you buy something for gems and becomes useless after the quest. I bought the bait shop thinking the bait droppings would be useful but it is just an extravagant useless building.

also agree, thats why i am very unsure if i should even spend any of my gems, fortune tellers tent, bait shop, and some egg workshop, all in storage.....:( thats 600 or 700 gems right there for nothing, i am debating the gold mine at the moment and will like others have said , just let the dew do the dew, if it happens it happens and not worry about it. after level 6 upgrades which is not timed, then what? storage? where the gold mine might be more useful in the long run.......huh......i just answered my own question! thanks!

[ashley224]

question...

do the buildings that get upgraded past level 5 change in looks? or do they stay the same with just a few more coins for collection?

I have three level 6 buildings, a farmhouse, a cottage and a sparkling mine. I see no obvious difference in appearance, someone with greater scrutiny may disagree. I will post pictures. The farmhouse and cottage have the same collection time, just a few more coins. As I mentioned earlier the sparkling mine collects 6 minutes earlier. Not sure 6 minutes is worth 5 golden nuggets?! Once I manage to make some spell bound beams and blocks, I will hoard them until the game demands that we collect from a specific level 6 building and then use them to upgrade that specific building. I expect it will be months from now as my second collection fron Ivy gave zero spellbound dew.

now i have little regrets having bought the spellbound bloom (sigh)
i should buy the Gold mine.
it says limited edition : is it time limited ?
was it on sale in the beginning ?

edit : found the thread :) thx

[ShibuyaCloth]

With a very rare drop, this smells like a Sinister Sister II u-goal! One that will take use 1 year to complete (for hoarder of course without the blossoms) :)

[ashley224]

I was looking at the level 6 upgrade chart in post 2. I have lots of trade tickets so I thought I'd bite the bullet and upgrade my Royal Chateau. Problem is my level 5 Chateau can't be upgraded. Does anyone have the option to upgrade their Chateau to level 6?

[sophiensissi]

Spellbound dew from Ivy's hut (3) but nothing from flowers. Tried at least 4 of each: red, yellow, white, blue, and purple! Nada

I've collected from Ivy's hit twice and no dew!!!! I've received 7 from flowers, however, but that's hundreds of energy used. This is annoying so say the least!!!!

[kattkrazie]

After crafting a spellbound block and completing Goal 1, there are no more goals for this quest in my book. Looks like we're left on our own to upgrade all of our buildings with no hurry or stress.

[DragonWished]

This is my experience as well. Collected from flowers and Ivy's hut several times, no dew.

I've looked at the posts in this thread and don't see a compelling reason to throw real money at this exercise.


I have collected from over 200 flowers and have 0 dew. This is stupid. Simply a way for s8 to try to get us to spend gems...pathetic. I am bored with this game as it has evolved...used to be fun.

[greywagtail]

How many spellbound blooms are we allowed?

[kattkrazie]

How many spellbound blooms are we allowed?

Just one, apparently. After I purchased it, it disappeared from the market.

[muggapug]

I have collected from flowers at least 120 times (energy from three alicorns) and collected from Ivy's hut three times. Zero spellbound dew to date. Not going to buy the flower out of spite.

Am also sick of timed things that require ridiculous amounts of drops from things on a one hour timer. Theoretically possible to collect enough if I didn't actually have to work, take care of house and kids, etc. but some of us can't be tied to a device 24/7.

[oliverrr11]

No. The person who reported that obviously was not fully upgraded to 5 already.

[StoryPlayer67]

My I us hut is skipping giving me nothing!!!!!!! After 80 energy one drop from the purple flower. Ok why not just offer the darn thing cheaper with no reward. It's like you must purchase or you out of luck. Seems to be getting crazier with each task. When ivys hut takes 12 hours to drop any I have not gotten you any from it on three devices. Oh well this is just crazy. We are not done with the last goal. Hope there is not a timer on this one.

[riverly]

What timed goal are people referring to? All I see is that the sale of the bloom with rebate is timed, which I'm ignoring because i'm not getting it. The dew collecting is not timed as far as I can tell and the follow the dust is not timed. I don't see the stress in this event other than the lack of dew drops which I'm not particularly concerned about since I'm in no hurry to update. This is more like a side goal for me for the time being. Not stressing over it. If I'm missing a timer somewhere can someone please tell me. Thanks.

The only timed bit is in buying the spellbound flower. It's just irksome for most people that after collecting from almost 100 flowers or more, there are minimal dew drops. It may not be timed, but that kind of silliness & wasted energy is what makes people leave this game :mad:

You aren't missing anything. There is no time limit for this goal. It must be in response to the players who requested that we be able to upgrade our buildings beyond level 5. It will take months if not years. No hurry.

[StoryPlayer67]

I know I have a invisible Genie ,,,,,,while I'm playing only visitors can see her!!!!!!! I have way too much energy looking for the drops and my Ivy Hut is not giving me any drops either so, I guess after the five day pass we may start to get more drops I think this is just A ploy to get you to rush to buy the flower ,,,,,,and get a reward of 60 Gems ? why? make you do that why get a reward of 60 Gems,,,,, when you're spending gems makes no sense to me why don't you just buy it for the 60 Gems less for five days and see how many they would purchase .....I don't know this is getting crazy .......This game had A storyline with a plot all these optional things that are coming into play ....That doesn't have really too much to do with the kingdom plot .....they are cute but I have absolutely no room for it which is crazy I have been Royal exchanging it for a long time and for two years and still do not have all of my plots taken up especially the ones for five trade tickets. maybe I should worry about those first I don't know.... Another thing my fairy bulb does not give out any drops,,,,,,,I didn't get anything from it and I have a fairy that's in storage is it supposed to do something ?/////mine never has,,,,,and I finished on time. And I have a fairy in storage is she supposed to be flying around the bulb or what why do we have a fairy in storage and why isn't the ferry bulb giving out any drops from what I've heard it's supposed to for some people I never really questioned it before now

I know this is a a lot of different subjects .....but I guess these are just kind of the things that have been irritated me ....

Hope everyone has Castle Story dropping today !!!!!!

[StoryPlayer67]

Another thing why don't we have something to build to upgrade because I really don't see where they're going with us to upgrade a building to a level 6 and .....what is the point of doing that I'm not sure what's going to happen to that building so I'm spending all my energy looking for a leaf to Upgrade a building I already have to a level six when I can't get the materials to do so and I don't even know what's going to happen to that building afterwards ....this does not make any sense what so ever.....and what buildings should we choose out of all of them do we upgrade ?/ there is no material To get to do so but a A leaf !!!!!! 20 I may add .....to make one block or beam. And in two days I have 1 on one device, 3 on one an 5 on one with 2 Alcorns 1 horse with 40 energy /week and seven little Alcorns energy per daily and two buildings that give out 10 additional energy on top of what I already have and the 20 I can make in my green house. This is .... Too much. May sit this one out looks the turn out bad. First time to.

[Solientus]

why? make you do that why get a reward of 60 Gems,,,,, when you're spending gems makes no sense to me why don't you just buy it for the 60 Gems less for five days and see how many they would purchase
Yeah they've done that with several items while levelling (Bait Shop, Mythic Mushrooms, Glimmerdust Trove) and sometimes with events there's specialty items that get a discount (like Beastbane Display). If it looks like a quest you need to complete, some people feel compelled to do so. A little sneaky but most people see past it.

This is just an update to the game. It's not an "event". It's not timed, it's just something to work at once you run out of other things to do. Which building to upgrade? Whatever you want :D You can choose buildings that don't need the Dew, or the ones that do. The quest "Spellbound Construction" has no time limit or reward. It's just an advertisement for what's newly available.
I hope you feel better soon. The drop rate is bad right now but like the first page says:

Main Storyline. Not timed.

[cyndora]

thanks ashley for your response.

i did get the mine, i figure golden nuggets , apples , and eggs are worth way more then a few dew in the long run. also , if the buildings dont change i really see no point. for me anyways. i didnt check, but do the royal points for each building you upgrade go up? if so , that would have been a nice fix for the limit on certain buildings, you could have higher royal points and need fewer building types.... if not oh well missed the mark again.

also, i am in no rush to do a quest like sinister sister again.....i still have nightmares of twins coming at me with rocky horror plants in hand trying to bite my head off soooooooo no thank you......

[tabskingdom]

I've collected from so many flowers and not a single dew drop what's the problem ??
Alongside the main storyline update, today we released Level 6 upgrades and new building materials for some buildings!

[==Update requires Level 26 or higher, and will be here to stay.==]


Some Level 6 upgrades will require the use of Spellbound Beams and/or Spellbound Blocks
Craft Spellbound Beams and Spellbound Blocks using the brand new resource, Spellbound Dew!
Spellbound Dew has a chance to drop from Ivy's hut and flowers
Need more Spellbound Dew? Get the brand new Spellbound Bloom to give your kingdom a constant, guaranteed supply!


Hope you all enjoy this update!

even if the flower is the only way we can reasonably level up the buildings, I got it simply because it looks so nice!

[jbfps116]

I wish we could buy more flowers just for the deco sake!!

[oliverrr11]

Would you be willing to confirm if the Multi-Colored Hedge also drops Spellbound Dew?

To add on to this question: Would you be willing to confirm that ANYTHING drops Spellbound Dew? Anything at all???? :confused::p

[Kastlerama]

Maybe S8 doesn't want us to upgrade with the speed of light! Let's take our time and have fun with it. :).

As I am maxed out on petals and dye "fun" does not seem likely if the dew is a rare drop.

[EmilyDragonMasterTwin]

The reason they don't offer it cheaper but offer it with a rebate is to force you to buy gems. At a cheaper price more people could get it with free gems. I usually get to about 250 free gems before I mistakenly spend gems to speed up some useless thing and am back to 100 gems. The rebate is time limited to get you to buy it before you know whether it will be worth it or not. It usually isn't, but, alas, you already bought it because of the rebate!

[ClaresKingdom]

This is actually the most boring thing EVER!! I know lets make a goal that's unachievable and yawn.....boring! Who wants to spend all their time collecting petals you are maxed out on - now this stooooopid task will stay on our lists forever!!!!!:mad:i

[DrP4ever]

Wahoo I finally found one! I'm totally maxed on dyes, flowers etc so this seems pointless. Hundreds of energy with one drop. Wow! Guess you're trying to force us to buy the flower to continue. Until there is a gem confirmation button I'm not buying any!

[jbfps116]

there should be some significant incentive to upgrade to level 6 and a more reasonable way to get there!

Oh my goodness, me too, my family thinks I'm crazy...the best laugh I've had in a week!

[AnisWa]

I'm just hoping that after the Desert Nights is finally over, we can get better drops. Ever since it began, the drops from a lot of my buildings, mines, rocks have been stingie(sp?). When I was hoping for stain glass and sand, the rocks were a horrible source. Now, that I've achieved and finished level 10....I'm looking for minerals and, the majority of times, I'm getting sand instead of the jewels, silver ore, etc. Frustrating to say the least! Ugh!

[terri81]

Yes, upgrading the sparkling mine from level 5 to level 6 reduced collection time by 6 minutes.

I haven't been able to collect dew drops from the flowers either. I've visited Ivy's house three times and only received dew drops on the first visit. Also, I've visited my chateau twice and neither of them have registered on the counter for the event? Does anyone have any advice?

[Queenzod]

To add on to this question: Would you be willing to confirm that ANYTHING drops Spellbound Dew? Anything at all???? :confused::p

Snort! Ya, flowers aren't doing the dew at all.

So, it takes 80 dew to make blocks and beams for one upgrade. Given an average of ZERO drops of dew every day, we can expect to have all of our buildings upgraded NEVER. Okay, then. ???

[newzealander]

Haha...I am one of the 'lucky' ones that has a drop rate of 2 in the first 24 hours. So that means that if I play religiously for 40 days, I can do ONE upgrade!! That's 9 upgrades a year....so in 3 or 4 years I might have all the upgrades done. It makes Sister, Sister look like a fast track goal!

Oh, wait....I was a little optimistic. I had to use 7 days worth of Alicorns to get those 2 dew leafs. So revised calculation is one per day; one every 80 days; 4 per annum......7 or 8 years should do it!

Oh, wait again....S8, please note that my calculations above are based on me not requiring any energy for anything else. So could you please hold off all new storylines and events for about 8 years while I continue to collect from flowers. Thank you.

You are talking 2 different events... For the Spellbound upgrade imho don't bother checking flowers until Storm8 ups the drop rate...

For the Royal Chateau step wher it tells to search 4 times you actually have to go on 4 adventures... They messed up the instructions... Again! :mad:

This is addressed in more detail in post one, you need to go on a new adventure

Post one in the other thread, called betrayal

[comeseecomesah]

Woohoo I'm crafting my 1st beam and dancing around the room....NOT. No more dew left!
You can bet we'll be given timed goals which will include collecting from level 6 buildings so that we go into panic mode and use gems ughhh!!
I may just hold off upgrading and make and hoard all the beams and blocks having them ready for any surprises.....haaa lol I said all the beams and blocks lol I may have 5 in a year's time at this rate.

[undead30k]

question...

do the buildings that get upgraded past level 5 change in looks? or do they stay the same with just a few more coins for collection?

also, i have been sitting on gems since the " aligate era" and was wondering if i should get the gold mine or this flower dew thing? any suggestions?....also i have no prob keeping my gems and waiting for my 5x5 waterfall...:)

What is the 5 x 5 waterfall? Or is it a suggestion?

Congrats!!!!!! You are indeed a lucky one with drop numbers as good as yours! I so hope it keeps up for you!!! But...I apologize in advance here for bursting your bubble of bliss. Your kiwi calculator must be missing some numbers or something. Your conservative time estimate is way too low! Your time frame would be realistic (assuming continued lucky drops like you are getting) based on needing only 80 Dews per building upgrade. This is not the case. Buildings such as taverns and sawmills need 120 each, which will add on 50% more time for those. So theoretically, with proper diet and exercise, most of us on here can live to see our buildings reach level 6, with one exception. That of course, is the level 6 amphitheater, which at a 200 Dew upgrade requirement, is sadly something none of us will ever see. Sure, there will be an occasional crackpot on here (like Queenzod), that will claim to have seen one in a neighbor's neighbor's neighbor's kingdom, and whatnot, but L6 amphitheaters will always be the stuff of legends, our Loch Ness Monster.....

My calculator is indeed cracked, and my bubble of bliss is now burst. I am re-writing my last will and testament to include instructions for the next generation so that they can ensure that amphitheater gets the upgrade it so rightly deserves. After all.....it produces so many useful materials to support my growing kingdom.

[storiadelcastello]

I have three level 6 buildings, a farmhouse, a cottage and a sparkling mine. I see no obvious difference in appearance, someone with greater scrutiny may disagree. I will post pictures. The farmhouse and cottage have the same collection time, just a few more coins. As I mentioned earlier the sparkling mine collects 6 minutes earlier. Not sure 6 minutes is worth 5 golden nuggets?! Once I manage to make some spell bound beams and blocks, I will hoard them until the game demands that we collect from a specific level 6 building and then use them to upgrade that specific building. I expect it will be months from now as my second collection fron Ivy gave zero spellbound dew.
My thinking too about waiting to use the spellbound beams and blocks. I have the flower which gives 2 or 4 dews but also having some luck with red petals which I am using up making floral glow ( no luck with purple petals), 50/50 with Ivys hut

[storiadelcastello]

Another thing why don't we have something to build to upgrade because I really don't see where they're going with us to upgrade a building to a level 6 and .....what is the point of doing that I'm not sure what's going to happen to that building so I'm spending all my energy looking for a leaf to Upgrade a building I already have to a level six when I can't get the materials to do so and I don't even know what's going to happen to that building afterwards ....this does not make any sense what so ever.....and what buildings should we choose out of all of them do we upgrade ?/ there is no material To get to do so but a A leaf !!!!!! 20 I may add .....to make one block or beam. And in two days I have 1 on one device, 3 on one an 5 on one with 2 Alcorns 1 horse with 40 energy /week and seven little Alcorns energy per daily and two buildings that give out 10 additional energy on top of what I already have and the 20 I can make in my green house. This is .... Too much. May sit this one out looks the turn out bad. First time to.
I updated a farmhouse to level 6, which didn't require spellbound beams or blocks. I will make spellbound materials when I get enough dews but I won't update a building unless required in a future challenge. I will have the materials needed for whichever level 6 building they require a collection from. I think most need two of each.

[Queenzod]

Sure, there will be an occasional crackpot on here (like Queenzod)...

Hey! I resemble that remark!

First person to upgrade their amphitheater to level 6 gets a golden kumquat from the sacred trees of Thuan. The way these drops are coming will give them plenty of time to ripen.

[newzealander]

I'll be sure to have my grandchildren contact your grandchildren to take possession of aforementioned kumquat when they get there!

[riverly]

I have a theory. I propose that if you collect from the same few flowers, the odds will be better in regards to getting a dew drop. I tested it with the same 5 flowers and I got a dew drop after the fifth collection. Could have been coincidence.

[greywagtail]

I am guessing that some new goals in the future years will depend on us having Level 6 buildings - which we probably won't have because of the low drop rates - hence will have to spend gems

[oliverrr11]

NO FUSS.. NO RUSH!

My problem WAS.. I kept thinking collecting DewDrops as an event, due to the fact the update was presented on Thursday like most events.
Once I reconsidered this fact and consentrated on other things to do in the game.. things are working out better.

At the moment I have 11DewDrops and I collect only from RED, PURPLE FLOWERS and IVY'S. With red and purple I can make the FloralGlow and Ivy's gives lots of other drops even if Dew is not given... no waste.. no fuss! It's not an event we have to complete.. it's just a possible UPGRADE in the game if we want something extra to do.

Like @Ashley said somewhere back.. I'll just hoard my Dews.. I'm positive I'll NOT reach over the max limit..lol! until some event requires a 6th level building.. then I'll have Dews ready to upgrade particular building needed.

I prefered to invest gems in the 'Limited offer GoldMines' x3, rather than buying the one GemFlower, as on the long run will be able to produce my own gems.. everyday.. instead of wasting hundreds of precious energy and petals.. thus eventually using produced gems of pushing crazy 6th level upgrades immediately needed.

This works out for me.. And I'm ever so happy with the GoldMines exciting collections instead of the unhappy, wild, senseless DewDrops collection that don't have results cause DewDrops are ever so rare. If they drop from the red and purple flowers.. fine. If not I've made another FloralGrowth to use for more energy and my game remains "NO FUSS.. NO RUSH" and remains my "HAPPY PLACE" to visit and relax.

[GC5410]

Just how rare are these drops?!

I've collected 100s of times from all types of flowers and collected from Ivy 5 times and still not had any dew drops at all!

I would say 1 every 60/70 energy and even less. the first night I spent 500energy and counted 8!
The reason I'm not spending much energy anymore.. it's LONG-LASTING and can't be finished in a short time.. even with help of the DewFlower. it's here to stay.. forever!

This peer is super happy with the white trillium Intel. Thank you so much for sharing. I got 2 dew so far. 1 in the first batch of 5. tried another set of 5 got nothing. Tried a repeat of the 10 and got another dew. This is miraculous compared to the white poppy, yellow trillium , and rocketspar. I have spent over 500 energy on these flowers and yielded zip.

Unfortunately once you max floral growth you again run into same problem with no need for petals if you save those for events where energy is needed. :(

Storm8 just needs to adjust dew drops and/or add a petal trade.

[katbtodd]

I have a chateau but not a Royal chateau and it does not need leveling up ,,confused here , it's a level 5
So what's this I read above

Royal Chateau 4 Royal Blocks, 4 Royal Beams, 10 Trade Tickets, 4 Super Glue

no problem maxing on FloralGrowth.. I change into energy which I hoard:) petals this way become useful

[AnisWa]

Since Thursday, I've collected 14 dew drops. I'm going to use the same flower theory and see what happens. Ivy has been generous this morning by dropping 3 dew drops. I did not buy the big blossom. I've been collecting from purple, red and orange flowers.

[kattkrazie]

There is no doubt that the dew drops are ultra, ultra rare. I did the hour and a half unlimited energy offer thinking I could max out my dew drops. Clearly, it was a pipe dream. I collected 8 dew drops in that hour and a half. I'm not complaining - I rolled the dice and lost. Just saying, don't waste a lot of your energy reserves trying to get these elusive dew drops. Hopefully drop rates will improve in the future because they are dismal at best.

[roguebee]

No. The person who reported that obviously was not fully upgraded to 5 already.

You're right. I realized this morning while collecting yellow dust that I never upgraded the Royal Chateau at all. Sorry about the mis-information on that building. What I posted was to get to Level 2.

[ashley224]

The Chateau is the Royal Chateau and you are right, it can't not be upgraded to level 6. This was discussed earlier in the thread. On the back of the inventory card it will tell you that it is a royal building.

[riverly]

After tapping on the same flowers all day today, there is no evidence to confirm or disprove my theory. Drops ranged from 1/25 to 1/70 taps. Where are the statisticians out there? My conclusion: the drops are pathetic. Not a scientific answer, but I did end up with 20 dews today.

[Ki250]

There is currently a sale called Spellbound Resources. However it has Enchanted Blocks, Beams and Red Trillium Flowers. Shouldn't it be Spellbound Blocks and Beams? :confused:

Never mind I realized you need Enchanted Blocks and Beams to make the Spellbound ones.

yes undead, there is no waterfall YET, but it is something on my wish list to go with the rivers.

p.s may the dew be with you.

[comeseecomesah]

Put me down for a waterfall too. Great idea! Animated of course.
Oh I came to talk about the dew (on topic lol), hmm not good. You'd think the gem costing flower would be more player friendly. Nightmare for people who can't collect every 2 hrs, and Ivy 's takes forever and sometimes get nothing.
Storm8 the top of my wishlist is a quick switch between cs accounts. Its annoying and time consuming having to log on to another game to get to other account then back again,especially during events and short collection times. Please please PLEASSSSSE.

[AnisWa]

Yes, I tried tapping the same flowers for 5 hrs.....no dew drops.....ok, let's hope once the Desert Nights quest is concluded, we'll see more droppings. I'm starting to believe that S8 cannot think and chew gum at the same time. This is a game I expected to enjoy! But, on a positive note, it makes you use strategies ....what to do, what to do! Hmmmm!

[riverly]

Maybe after the blossom sale is over the drops will change. I hope so anyway. As of right now I see no reason to buy the bloom or blossom or whatever it's called. I think I'll just stick with ivys hut. Just my opinion, but this is an odd update.

[DrP4ever]

Not one from Ivys hut. Still at 1! Never going to upgrade anything at this rate.

[dragoniakingdom]

Not one from Ivys hut. Still at 1! Never going to upgrade anything at this rate.

I'm in a similar situation,only have 2 & nothing at all from Ivy's hut.
Will treat it as a long term goal & not worry too much about it I think.(Not that I have a choice:rolleyes:)

Can you explain how you will be able to produce gems from the goldmine?

[PrincessCupOButter]

Can you explain how you will be able to produce gems from the goldmine?

By using the drops to do the golden trade in the royal exchange. 3 gold nuggets, 2 gold eggs, 1 golden apple = 5 gems

I recommend having several of each in storage before doing the trade, in case a timed quest comes along requiring them. I only do that trade when I'm close to max on nuggets.


Dew drops

The last 3 collections from ivy's hut yielded no dew....I understand they are rare, but based on all the posts I'm seeing, it seems like they've been removed completely. :(

Storm8 SPELLDOUND BLOOM SHOULD BE UNDER NATURE NOT DECORATIONS IN THE MARKET

[PrincessCelestian]

I am not sure if it has to do with this update but I just did my daily bonuses and none of them registered. I am pretty sure this is the first time that I have taken the time to do them since the update.

[PrincessCelestian]

I also have been focusing on collecting from red and purple flowers as well as ivy's hut for collecting spellbound dew. I am using the red and purple petals to make floral glow so that I can make lots of faerie elixir for the next event for energy. It makes me happy that I have another reason to collect from purple and red flowers. I currently have 18 spell bounds dews. I think I have only had one or two ivy's hut collections where I didn't get at least one. Will it be quick to upgrade all of these buildings? No. But I am glad to have a new challenge that will take some time since I am level 50 and only have two main goal lines still going.

I recommend having several of each in storage before doing the trade, in case a timed quest comes along requiring them. I only do that trade when I'm close to max on nuggets.


Dew drops

The last 3 collections from ivy's hut yielded no dew....I understand they are rare, but based on all the posts I'm seeing, it seems like they've been removed completely. :(

Yes.. never use all ur gold materials.. it's not wise.
Always keep a good stash away for immediate use if required. Finding gold items are rare and can be a cause for not being able to complete an event.
But.. with all the extras and when u're maxed in gold.. u can use in the Exchange for a satisfying 5GemTrade that takes 10hrs.. as PrincessCupOButter stated above.

At the moment seem that Dews are rarer than gold items though!!! It's difficult to understand the reason why as even having the DewFlower, upgrading will take several months if not a year or more. There's absolutely no fun, nor excitement in completing such a rare and long-term task.

Hello Ashley found spellbound dew by the flower red trillium after 14 times

[MoonVillage3]

Yes.. red and purple flowers are good. I was able to collect the 20 needed to make the beam/block required in goal. It's in the WorkShop now. They are however rare drops.. so all energy, and more! if u can make with the FloralGrowth in the GreenHouse with the petals collected are needed. Maybe 2Dews after collecting 14/15.. but then u waste about 50/60.
I have noticed not all Dews pop up on the board.. so check ur inventory now and then, they are there. Quick collecting is not positive.. it's better tapping one by one and waiting.

I have tried for the last day and a half to collect flower petals as well as collect from Ivy's hut. Nothing at all.
I had 12 spell dew but seems impossible to collect the other 8 needed to get my 20. I have been collecting from 20-25 flowers at a time as well as whenever collecting from Ivy's hut is available. YOu would think I would at least get a couple.

[freddy1343]

I agree that if you're planning on purchasing the spellbound bloom, get it now while the rebate is available. (Wished I had got that eensy teensy little chick during the rebate. Ended up getting it full price but it did help complete my goals. Fortunately, it was a low cost gem purchase.)

But, I won't have enough gems for the bloom if I purchase the gold mine. It seems there's another increase now for golden nuggets for building level 6 upgrades.

Any good news on drops from those who purchased the gold mine?



Only collected once and didn't see the quantity ( maybe one or two) but receive gold nugget, Jewel, and glimmer dust. Happy!

I noticed this too. I had only "seen" it drop the dew twice, so this morning I wanted to see how many Ivy's hut had given me. I checked my inventory and low and behold! I had 9. Strange but I was glad.

Thank you for advising me. Good to see you post. Glad you found a dew!

FINALLY received my 20th dew drop...making a beam......it's not easy being a green dew drop!

[izzyiza]

Since I completed a beam this morning, I haven't received a single dew drop. It's as if me completing the goal removed the possibility of getting any dew drops. ;(

Dew drops still there.. got 4 collecting through the day, but.. used all energy given to collect them... that was about 280energy. It's not worthwhile doing in a hurry. I have noticed that IvysHut is not giving dew anymore.

[ladyperidot]

I broke down and bought the flower that drops dew
- I got a gem rebate on the price, so it was more of a price I would spend
- I have gotten no dew from flowers (big energy waste) and Ivy seems to have become stingy also
- it's 2x2 footprint takes up less room than a field of flowers and only takes one energy to harvest
- it's better looking than the psychedelic mushroom and the baron's tent
And
- I didn't have enough gems for gold mine

[Jinc4]

I haven't got much else to do at the moment in the game, so although I don't usually buy stuff, I bought the flower so I can work on leveling everything up. I like how it looks (it matches the coral items really well) and the stock of dew seems to grow pretty quickly - though I am able to collect from it fairly regularly outside of work.

[jessiefromshimerville]

I have a chateau but not a Royal chateau and it does not need leveling up ,,confused here , it's a level 5
So what's this I read above

Royal Chateau 4 Royal Blocks, 4 Royal Beams, 10 Trade Tickets, 4 Super Glue

Shut down the game by powering down your device and restart. It should be upgrade - able

Once I completed the goal of making a beam, I haven't received any dew drops since yesterday. Not only is Ivy stingy....my weekly drops from the Adult Destrier was very cheap this week. I'm debating whether or not to buy the blossom. Oh well, I'll just continue with other matters in the kingdom.

The royal chateau aka the chateau is not upgrade-able to level 6. This has been confirmed many times in this thread and in post 2.

Okay...i tried reading several pages and i cant find what i'm looking for. If someone could please help, i'd be grateful. So, to get yellow dust for shears, you collect from the chateau, but you have to spend yellow dust to get yellow dust on the adventure????? Idgi....what am i missing? The chateau hasnt given anything but coins the last couple of days. Thanks in advance for any help

[msmorg]

As to new goldmine drops the first collection I got one gold apple and one glimmer dust, not great for once a day.

I ran into the same problem. Ivy is giving no dew, though I used to get 3 from her every collection. And I only got 3 dews, one from 3 different flowers, the whole time I was trying to do the goal.

I don't know if we gotta wait for another update from them to start dropping again. Can anyone from S8 verify this info? I don't want to keep wasting energy trying to get dew from flowers when no dew will show without the purchase of the Spellbound plant. (I don't have the gems for it) 😬

Thanks!

[bozotc19]

I have collected from flowers over 400 times....0 leaves! The last 4 collections from ivy.....0 leaves. This is a complete waste of time. Is this a bug in the game or is this a ploy to induce us to spend 400 gems on a item that will never be used again after event is over. I have lost desire to play this game

[Jamdraak]

So far I did get 12 dews from Ivy's hut..... None from flowers

there are only two places yellow dusk can be collected.. the Chateau and the new CastleAdventure when knights return.. unfortunately they are both random drops, so you may have to wait awhile till you've collected enough to make shears.

[coolssp]

Ivy's hut is not dropping any dew for me either but I did buy the bloom. I'm did that so that I've something to craft (eventually) and want to ultimately increase my RP....

[MoonVillage3]

As to new goldmine drops the first collection I got one gold apple and one glimmer dust, not great for once a day.

only one golden item will be delivered per day per GoldMine.. nugget, egg or apple. other material can pop-up.. but its random. What is guaranteed is the daily collection of something gold. considering gold is rare and we see maybe 2/3 times a month.. I smile when I collect them:o

[DrP4ever]

Still nothing from Ivy, 2 total from flowers. Seriously this game used to be fun but now not so much.

As for the golden mine, I don't have the option to purchase it any where. And not going to spend 300 gems on a flower so I guess I'm at delete level if that is required to play.

[ashley224]

Remember that the floral glow can also be used to make faerie essence.

[netwiz3]

Remember that the floral glow can also be used to make faerie essence.

Yep... that one's maxed out too... For a while I was also using the essence to continue making other items(paste, etc) but since still get drops of those when collecting from other faerie buildings stopped as have more than enough for any future quests.

At this point I just stay maxed on material to make the Faerie Elixir during events and then "waste" all my other energy gathering items to make trades so at least I get a trade permit for future expansions.

Was hopeful to stay busy with upgrading stuff to level 6 but with Dew Drops being beyond ridiculous only upgrade the one's that need no Dew so that won't last long either. :(


So for time being I'm content getting 6 Petals a day from collecting from Ivy's Hut and will leave flowers alone until a change is made to the drop rate.

[petal2092]

Wow! I've collected twice from my Chateau without getting any dust. Thought I'd breakdown, buy some gems, and get the flower. Not only is the gem sale over ( bummer), my gem count has mysteriously dropped from 118 to 45. I didn't notice dropping into a gem trap anytime last night or this morning. What's going on? Has anything similar happened to anybody else. I did try force closing to see if dust would show up. This might be the wrong thread for this

[jamalo]

I am close to having two spellbound beams and blocks and consider a deep mine upgrade, has someone done that before? I wonder what the new collection time is since the reduction in time on the other crafting buildings is tiny, i hope this one is a bit more significant. Thanks!
