Castle Story : 9/22 Update - X Marks the Spot

I want to especially thank BarfDump, federerGOAT, netwiz3, kattkrazie for recording the information in my absence.

[==Update requires app update to Version 1.5.3 on iOS, Level 15/17+, and will be available to start beginning x/x. Once started, you will have 10 days to complete the event. The event will automatically start on x/x.==]

What happens when an event finishes?? Click here to take you to a post called How Events Work in the thread called How To Use The Hub. (http://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?75916-How-to-use-the-Hub-to-find-information-and-ask-questions&p=1190378&viewfull=1#post1190378)



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!).

Hey everyone!

Sorry I've been fairly inactive recently @__@ Wanted to pop in and let you all know we received your feedback and have investigated the tuning for the final few days of this event.


We'd thought that a particular setup would bypass the 20 limit on virals, however we've now confirmed that this is not the case. Because of that, we're halving the Deckhands requirements for both level buckets.
I cross-checked the calculations some of you have posted against the tuning sheet for this event. While I can't post the specific actuals, I can confirm that the average droprate for Crumbs is a bit higher than one per adventure (though it's certainly possible to only ever get one on every adventure), and that the Parrot Feeder drops a minimum of 3 Parrot Food per collect, with a possibility for 4 or 6. (Day 9 and Day 10 are difficult to complete without spending gems to be sure, but once the Deckhands fix goes out it should not be impossible.)


I'll update again when I receive confirmation that the Deckhands tasks have been updated!

Thanks,
sourp4tch

I've just received confirmation that this fix has been pushed live. Thank you everyone for your feedback! We'll continue to monitor things from here :)

Do you craft between goals? Helps to shoot for 5 of each item then more as you can.

[PrincessCupOButter]

Can anybody read the first ingredient to making the black cloth in your Workshop? I tried sorting my inventory by quantity of items but still couldn't see which of my 99 qty items it was.(I'm guessing blue or purple dye).

I took a screenshot and zoomed in.... based on the tiny bit I can see above the lock, I'm guessing coal.

[tonyjosiah]

Wow! We beat the mods in posting about a new goal. That's strange and exciting at the same time.

you can sort inventory!! wonder why we don't have that option on IOS (least i don't)..after years of playing, looking for things in inventory totally drives me crazy, i quit re-decorating like every couple months because of it.

the ingredient for black cloth is definitely Coal, it's the only thing i have 103 of.

Yep, me too.

[netwiz3]

should we be doing that new goal in the castle?

If you do... Do not collect from it until told to... Sometimes this works, sometimes not based on how they set up the goal... Sometimes it's send 3 adventures(in which case it wouldn't count the first one) Other times it registers on the adventure coming back. And yet another option is it will return certain ingredients only when you reach the goal that asks for that ingredient.

[netwiz3]

you can sort inventory!! wonder why we don't have that option on IOS (least i don't)..after years of playing, looking for things in inventory totally drives me crazy, i quit re-decorating like every couple months because of it.

the ingredient for black cloth is definitely Coal, it's the only thing i have 103 of.

Sorry, I forgot to put my sarchasm emoji in the message... Didn't mean to get any of our hopes up for one of the oldest requested features we really do need. ;-)

Get out a regular tavern to collect from tomorrow. Just one. You also need 20 silver and 20 living wood for tomorrow. You'll do the new adventure just once. Probably more in future chapters, but just once tomorrow.

Does anyone know how long we have to complete once we start and how long we can wait to start this timed goal?

[ashley224]

Here's the goods on Chapter 2 (for tomorrow)

X Marks the Spot

Goal 1 - listen to the tales at the tavern. (Yo ho ho)
(0/1). Click "listen".

Goal prize - old compass

Goal 2 - repair the old compass
In workshop - requires 1 old compass, 20 silver, 20 living wood. Takes 3 hours.

Goal prize - cartographers desk

Goal 3 - follow the treasure map (0/1)
This is an adventure but I can't go until current one returns.

[dipwid]

Aaahhhr I'll be loving the new event. Any tips on collecting spellbound few for the blocks?

[netwiz3]

Aaahhhr I'll be loving the new event. Any tips on collecting spellbound few for the blocks?

Don't get hung up on the Dew quite yet... It's very possible/likely if there is a goal it'll only be to get the building to level 5. All buildings got level 6 as a part of the Dew "upgrade" and the new tavern probably has level 6 because of that.

But by all means continue to collect Dew(at least from Ivy Hut) and make the special beams and blocks but don't use them to upgrade anything until S8 advertises a goal requiring it... The Dew is just too hard to come by to upgrade the "wrong" building and it would take years to Max out the new Beams/Blocks.

[bald1e]

Thanks to all the speedsters for the info so far. Seems like S8 have gone on vacation these last few days.

Here are the pics from the first two goals

[Solientus]

Does anyone know...how long we can wait to start this timed goal?
The last two delayed start events, Essence of Forest and An Orchestrated Event, both had an auto start of 4 days after original release.
I'd have to say Monday the 26th will be the force date.

[bald1e]

pirate tavern level 1 : 440 Coins per 4 hours

level 2 needs 4 bone, 3 simple glue, 2 ea. fancy block and beam [gives 484 CP4H]

Level 3 needs 10 jewels, 1 ea royal block/beam, 3 simple glue. gives 528 CP4H

level 4 needs 2 ea royal block/beam, 20 silver ore, 2 super glue. gives 572 CP4H

Level 5 needs 2 ea enchanted beam/block, 6 grits, 2 super glue. gives 616 CP4H

Level 6 needs 2 ea spellbound block/beam, 10 hearty stew, 4 super glue. gives 660? CP4H

So glad I didn't use my 2 spellbound blocks and beams I have in my inventory yet as it would have taken ages to get them, Unless a goal involves getting dew for them as a goal reward.

[lindtball]

Don't get hung up on the Dew quite yet... It's very possible/likely if there is a goal it'll only be to get the building to level 5. All buildings got level 6 as a part of the Dew "upgrade" and the new tavern probably has level 6 because of that.

Got gold nugget from first adventure.

[WindermereBakery]

If this really requires us to use spellbound beams and blocks then I'm out. I have been collecting spellbound dew since it came out and still don't have enough for the beams and blocks.

I've already started disliking that dew and have taken to calling it spellbound dew dew in my head.

Please don't make us level it to six!!!

Spellbound is storyline stuff. No way they would require that in a timed event

Looks like to level up the pirate tavern, you will need 2 each.

[meme1098]

So you think that it will be required to go to 6 in this event. People will forget where their minds are if thats the case

Maybe lower levels will get a break on leveling the tavern. Sometimes happens with storybook goals. I hope so for their sake as it's so frustrating to get so far, then something impossible becomes a requirement & they have to give up.

[OnlyOneRamoth]

Maybe they have us on auto....just keeping us busy while they are back at their workshops sweating furiously in an effort to prepare an extra fantabulous super amazing Halloween event!! To make up for...yep...the cesspool and the Orphanage of last year.

Just kidding. They are sleeping. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz......

[GlvtenFree]

it would be a huge mistake for the makers of this game to require items we have only had a short while to aquire.
i play everyday multiple times a day almost all day long honestly.. and have only collected enough dew for one beam and one block...

[cuted1011]

For the Pirate Flag in the workshop: It is definitely coal. When I open it shows I have 29/10 (29 the value of what I have, 10 is what is needed). The only item in my inventory that shows 29 is coal. I wonder if we will need banners too?

[Solientus]

Not a gripe, just an fyi.
For Chapter 2, don't bother using gems if you're looking for a second compass as souvenir.
I put one to craft in the workshop and spent 30Gems to skip.
Once the craft finished it doesn't appear in your inventory since you've passed that part.

I do a lot of collecting from flowers to make Faerie elixir during these times events for extra energy. I have made 3 spellbound beams and 2 spellbound blocks. I think I am pretty close to my next one too. I haven't found them all that hard to come by.

[AnisWa]

The pirate tavern requires 2 wood beam, 2 stone blocks, 2 simple glue and 6 corn. It looks very pretty.

Here are some more requirements for the upgrades for Pirate Tavern
2 Fancy Beam, 4 Bone, 3 Simple Glue, 2 Fancy Block;
Upgrade 2 (3 Simple Glue, 1 Royal Beam, 10 Jewels, 1 Royal Beam;
Upgrade 3 (20 Silver Ore, 2 Super Glue, 2 Royal Block, 2 Royal Beam
That's as far as I got.
Have fun!

Strange, I built a pirate tavern and it was removed from my place. Time to build another one. Did anyone else lose theirs? I was wondering if it us to do with stage but doesn't seem like it's a step and others have had a problem. Easy enough to build but just reporting this for others to know.

Leveled the tavern to level 5 and so far it drops only coins... But maybe it's supposed to only drop coins?

oh gosh I am a lvl18 this is too hard for me I guess I am done with this quest at chapter 4

[Tamochan]

i am not bothering with this one mainly due to the spellbound requirement. I have been obsessivley collecting from flowers on a more-than-daily basis and with that and ivy's hut I can make..... ONE block OR beam. Wow. And that has been since the start of the event. I am managing to use up the petals by making dyes and the liquid stuff used for the energy in one of the workshops, but to be honest there is no chance for me to get the beams and blocks in time so not worth me throwing items at the quest, sadly.

Finally worked. I did nothing different, had been in and out of the game for a couple of hours, no forced closing, nothing. I just went in and there was the compass waiting to be crafted. All I need now is:- silver, living wood.......etc. etc etc......

[Jackiesq]

oh gosh I am a lvl18 this is too hard for me I guess I am done with this quest at chapter 4
You're not the only one... 😕
My jeweler is l2 now and Pirate tavern l3, but if both need to be l5 and what more we have to do in other chapters... I skip this Tales. Work on my kingdom to be prepared for other events, when my buildings are leveled up and my stock of meals and other things is higher. Don't want to use everything now and ending this Tales with nothing...

[GlvtenFree]

Lower level players may not be required to visit high level buildings. The information for the future chapters has been from lvl 50 players and as we have seen in many events before, lower level players do not have as hard of requirements for the same goals. So to all of you worrying, dont give up! we dont have all the information yet

[coolssp]

You know what 'they' say - impatience is a virtue!!!

[federerGOAT]

Recieved a neighbours request for a deckman.
Hope it is like the last storybook, where the neighbours request was on day 7-8 and not the last day.

[PrincessCelestian]

I need some neighbors to send living wood to me daily. I need two who are committed. I will send back to them. My stores have been depleted from some fairy goals and it looks like we will need quite a bit for this. Neighbor request me at princesscelestian and then gift me a living wood and I will send one back.

*thanks for the response! I have lots of new neighbors. I will do my best to return everyone's generous gift of living wood as soon as the game allows me with that three a day limit. . . 😘*

[PrincessCelestian]

Does the adventure register when you go or when you get back?

[volissos]

I didn't get a pop-up about this goal so if anyone knows a. Does the timer start after we press begin or has it already started anyway and I am losing valuable time?, and b. When does it end? Why the lack of information about this event?

[Stymie52]

Hope Spirit Wind is alright. She is never absent from an event. But as usual, with all the prep information, this is very doable. Many thanks to our pioneers!

[volissos]

A You can start it on your own or it will autostart usually after 4 days. You are not losing time unless you do not complete each days chapter

B this forum is player driven. There is information in this thread you just have to look. Try post 75. It hasn't been codified yet in post 1 pr 2 so you might have to dig around the previous posts

Thanks for the reply! I know that most of the information come from the wonderful players who speed up and give us a heads up, I was mostly referring to S8 and the absence of a pop-up letting us know what the goal is about and details as to when it starts/ends. So it is as usual, one chapter per day?

1St Adventure drop from 1 kingdom...Gold path
1st Adventure drop from other kingdom.... A treasure hoard decoration ( non chopable) 4x4 looks nice. 2nd drop....gold path


1st Drop from Treasure cat... fur,silver,coins, there was something else at the back which thought looked like energy but can't be sure.

Okay I read the whole thread and I haven't seen a clear cut answer

Yes. You should go ahead and build it and have it to at least level 2 before you reach chapter 4. That way it will be ready when you get to that task.

[tigarlilyvol]

When you get back I had one ready to collect and it counted

I did. The next time it's asked for (so far as I've seen) only says to collect from a level 2, rather than build.

[sunnygirl634]

Heads up to hoarders. You can't purchase an extra compass in the workshop with gems like you could in the past. Not sure why S8 removed this option since we spend gems to get these in our inventory.

Since this goal requires so much harvesting to keep the crops up, I have parked my troll, as I usually do for such events. But, has anyone else, who does the same, noticed how much bigger his greyed out area is? Or, is this just my imagination? Check it out in my kingdom, it's huge!

My first troll did the same. Then I rotated the troll sparring pit & tried it again later. He's more on top of the pit now & not so hoggish about space. :D

And about SW, we're gonna have to put a crew together to search the high seas for her, me mateys. ;)

[msmorg]

Please S8 increase the spellbound dew drops from flowers and Ivy, I just used 40 energy on Ivy and flowers and not 1 spellbound dew. Impossible at this rate to create those beams which require 20 dew a piece!

[catmomx4]

There's also a new craft coming that's in the Workshop that's currently Locked by goal... Black Cloth - Needs 10 of something I can't read(I have 99) and 5 Cow Hides with a 30 minute timer.

The Black Cloth mentioned to be crafted in the future is 10 Coal + 5 Hides

[farmgirl8888]

Meme, hearty thanks 'n ye're welcome matey! Also, worried aout SW, please S8 or other mods, anyone know anything?

[PrincessCupOButter]

I got the piracy guide, but it had a pop-up saying it was a reward for completing the task. I also got a cartographers desk for completing part 2.....deco only.

All I've gotten from the adventures so far is gold paths. 3 adventures, 3 gold paths. (And the guide book I guess) :(


Ps. I'm really hoping that SW is ok and enjoying a wonderful vacation somewhere pirate free. Although I'm starting to fear the entire staff and all mods are somewhere aboard the Black Pearl.....it's certainly unusual for there to be no activity at all from anyone! :confused:

[BufftonHeights]

Yes, I just got one. I am dutifully studying it while my rum ages.

[danzplace]

My first adventure was 1 jewel. The second was for the quest and gave me the guide. Fingers crossed for trip three.

Editing to say I just found the treasure hunter kitty in my inventory. Must have popped up with the book but didn't show one the screen! Be sure to check your inventory after adventuring. Woo hoo!!!!

[Stymie52]

I looked in my inventory and found the Piracy Guide too. Maybe we will need it further along in the quest.

[ClaresKingdom]

I need some neighbors to send living wood to me daily. I need two who are committed. I will send back to them. My stores have been depleted from some fairy goals and it looks like we will need quite a bit for this. Neighbor request me at princesscelestian and then gift me a living wood and I will send one back.

Just sent you some - you are already my neighbour (ClaresKingdom)

Will keep sending :)

Sorry, the correct title is a Piracy Guide.

[kattkrazie]

I was waiting for one of my red taverns to time out, while the pirate tavern was ready to tap.....it worked. So, looks like there's going to be plenty of different kind of luck, again. Sorry that you had to wait another 8 hrs.

Yes, definitely different kinds of luck. The collection from my first adventure was great. However, each collection afterwards only drops jewels and one gold path. So the Treasure Hunter Kitty is apparently ultra rare. Sorry to get everyone's hopes up.

[prancinland]

I'm liking this event ! Arrah! Only wish it was a long term goal and part of the story line! -- ��

[cookies2crumbs]

I have just sent out on the first adventure and still don't have a request to get the pirate tavern ..... Do I buy it or wait for ch 4..

[danzplace]

I bought it when someone mentioned it, since it was unlocked. Your choice. Love the colors.

[PrincessCupOButter]

I have just sent out on the first adventure and still don't have a request to get the pirate tavern ..... Do I buy it or wait for ch 4..

Based on the steps listed in previous posts, purchasing the tavern is not part of the goals, but collecting from it is. I chose to purchase it early and level it up to level 2 so that it will be ready to collect from immediately when I reach that task in chapter 4.

Ps. Kattkrazie has already posted that the tavern will still work if it's above level 2. I chose to stop at level 2 until I know what resources I'll need for the rest of the chapters. Don't want to use something I'll regret not having later. Lol

[Solientus]

Hey princesscupob, would you mind adding Info's to your first post?
I don't think coolssp is around.
Not sure when a mod will be on, at least it'll be on the first page, kinda near the top.
Just a thought, and if you have the time.
...or avocado if you're around.

[jaymieb2]

pirate tavern

Level 6 needs 2 ea spellbound block/beam, 10 hearty stew, 4 super glue. gives 660? CP4H

How many levels for the Pirate's Tavern? I am waiting for more super glue to upgrade to Level Six... Glad I didn't spend my only two Spellbound blocks and beams on upgrading anything else!

[Equinox14]

Would some one from Storm8 please post all the goals and what is needed day by day as usual? There is nothing yet in the hub or game guides. Please tell us where it is posted so we don't have to search all over. Thank you!

[Solientus]

Thanks for update Katt.

[PJBastian13]

Anybody know what the requirements for chapter 5 are?

[jaymieb2]

Don't get hung up on the Dew quite yet... It's very possible/likely if there is a goal it'll only be to get the building to level 5. All buildings got level 6 as a part of the Dew "upgrade" and the new tavern probably has level 6 because of that.

But by all means continue to collect Dew(at least from Ivy Hut) and make the special beams and blocks but don't use them to upgrade anything until S8 advertises a goal requiring it... The Dew is just too hard to come by to upgrade the "wrong" building and it would take years to Max out the new Beams/Blocks.

Wow! Good catch! Thank you! I didn't upgrade because I was out of super glue. (Had 2 each Spellbound beams and blocks). Upgrading could have caused a disaster down the line!

No S8 staff or mods on here all morning! This is Friday & the weekend is almost upon us. We need to get the rescue team & ransom together, weigh anchor & heave ho before it's too late. ;)

I hope she's on a cruise with no wifi instead of being sick. She has definitely spoiled us rotten!

That being said, this quest is very doable. With the neighbor requests being on Day 8, there shouldn't be too much of a problem getting them back in time. Collecting 25 parrot food (2 hr. timer) will be difficult unless the parrot feeder drops multiple food each time. I used gems, so don't have the answer to this. Will let y'all know after I collect from it.

[kattkrazie]

When the 'give' button is there, you just go back in and hit it after each collection, if I understand your question.

You should come back over. I hadn't yet put out the awesome pirate, 'the spot' and the 'Tell No Tales'. This event does have awesome deco. The fool's chest can be chopped but then I would lose it, so...

[Zirilka]

Captain Katt, just in case it has not been emphasized enough - you are totally awesome! Thank you for sharing the knowledge!

[88silver]

Can someone check my math? Because I'm thinking S8 gave us another impossible task.

Let's say a player plays from 7am to 10pm. That's 15 hours a day with unlimited access to the game.

On day 8, we have to do 40 neighbor requests. Let's say everyone has awesome neighbors and they get 21 on day eight (20+Stormie) and the remaining 19 respond immediately after the S8 day rolls over into day nine. Then you can craft the 8 hour pirate ship right after you wake up. So the ship is finished at 3pm on day 9. Have the first adventure waiting and collect that. Send and collect from adventure 2 and 3, it's now 8pm. The 4th adventure isn't ready until after you are in bed.

Wake up on day 10, collect adventure 4 at 7am and adventure 5 at 9:30am. You're done with combining clues at 7:30pm. You immediately buy and place the Parrot Feeder. At 9:30pm you make your first collection. Let's get extra wishful thinking here and say that drops all the food you need the first time. You have the final adventure waiting to collect and finish at 9:30pm, 30 minutes before you go to bed on the final day.

So, this is possibly if, and only if:
(1) You have awesome neighbors and get responses right away and overnight, without having to send out any new requests in day 2 (or 3).
(2) You plan ahead and always have an adventure waiting to collect. (not doing so adds 5hrs to the timeline)
(3) You do all the previous days on time so that you start the day 8 tasks on day 8.
(4) The Parrot Feeder drops everything we need in one collection.

I think we all know that there is no way all four of those conditions are accurate.

[Solientus]

Me too. At least it is not a day 10 requirement! We can do it.
Well, I was just thinking...

On Chapter 8:

*On Day 8 - get 21 Deckhands
*On Day 9 - get the remaining 19
*build the ship (8hour build)
On Chapter 9:

*Should still be on Day 9 moving into Day 10- get one crumb from Adventure (3 hrs)
*need 4 crumbs more will take 12 hours (if only one per adventure @3hrs per)
*combine the 5 crumbs (10hr craft)
On Chapter 10:

*Will be well into Day 10 probably, buy feeder
*depending on Feeder drops, yet to be reported, but average of 2 per collect every 2hrs (need 25 total), need 12 collects = 24hours
*send out another adventure

Unless less Deckhands needed
Unless more then 1 Crumb per Adventure
Unless more parrot food then estimated per collect

...this isn't looking good. I'd love some additional feedback about numbers. Am I missing/miscalcualting something? I think the main thing is the feeder drops, if it ends up dropping something like 10-15 per collect, then that's a bit different. It'd be tight but doable...ish.

Edit - @ Silver I think we're both in disbelief, Ill have to think on this some more....and have drink maybe

[PrincessCupOButter]

Mucho thanks Net & P.c.o.b.!

You're welcome! Thank you for the excellent idea!

Count me in for some gold to help with Spiritwind's ransom! Come back!! We miss you!! :o

And apparently we'll need someone to run interference again to make sure the goals are doable in the given time frame. Once again, pioneer players are exposing the bugs, glitches and roadblocks. We need a pioneer appreciation event!!

[kattkrazie]

The parrot feeder dropped 3 parrot food. So, it is multiple drops, but will still require about 7-8 collections. Gonna be tight, but still doable. And there's a chance it will drop more than 3 at a time. Will observe and report before you get there.

[Zirilka]

I hope that ransom for SW will not be in .... spirits.... Anyone's got any rum in case of emergency?

I don't see how it's doable because we'll have time only for 1 or maybe 2 feeder collections (with normal sleep).

[janddolphins]

I do hope SW is ok, but it does not explain why all week we really have not had much postings from any mods period. Slight postings which left us open ended regarding those who did not get Monday monsters from other mods and no one to come and help out here when SW is away. Thankfully everything has been relatively glitch free and self explanatory but I feel someone should have stepped up if SW couldn't.

Ps still waiting hopelessly about Monday but I guess they hope we just will go away about that with a new quest.

Good luck everyone with the chapter book. These are my least favorite but looking at all 10 chapters I think this one I can actually manage easily. I do hope the steps are easier for lower levels, so don't give up just because you see what the steps are for a level 50 player. We all know from past events lower levels have different requirements. Hang in there!

Happy weekend and I how everyone is able to enjoy the weekend and not stress with the event :)

Anyone wanting to send living wood I would be eternally grateful. Unless I find a source for them PDQ I will have no chance of finishing this.
It is very sad, I havent finished one of these blinking things ever (violins playing in the background and free tissues by the door).
Just in passing how do others manage if they dont have a stock of whatever is being asked for?

[PrincessCelestian]

However, rescuing a 'Spiritwind' would have been confusing to players that don't frequent the forum. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that players who don't use the forum are constantly confused. Lol

And very likely never make it to the end of a quest anyway!!

Look ahead and strategize on how to stock up. Max out all your energy potentials like visiting neighbors and watching videos. I gave managed to finish every quest since i started reading the forum and looking ahead. And most I can complete without gems or real money now.

The parrot feeder has consistently dropped 3 each time and you will receive one as a prize when you 'examine the spot'. Unless drop rates vary, plan to collect 8 times.

Are you at the latest version of the app and did you hit the little icon on the right side of the screen that starts the Chapter Event?

Just checked again and the icon is now there. I'm up and runnin'! Thanks netwiz3. :)

[Solientus]

Can someone check my math? Because I'm thinking S8 gave us another impossible task.
Let's say a player plays from 7am to 10pm. That's 15 hours a day with unlimited access to the game.
On day 8, we have to do 40 neighbor requests. Let's say everyone has awesome neighbors and they get 21 on day eight (20+Stormie) and the remaining 19 respond immediately after the S8 day rolls over into day nine. Then you can craft the 8 hour pirate ship right after you wake up. So the ship is finished at 3pm on day 9. Have the first adventure waiting and collect that. Send and collect from adventure 2 and 3, it's now 8pm. The 4th adventure isn't ready until after you are in bed.

Wake up on day 10, collect adventure 4 at 7am and adventure 5 at 9:30am. You're done with combining clues at 7:30pm. You immediately buy and place the Parrot Feeder. At 9:30pm you make your first collection. Let's get extra wishful thinking here and say that drops all the food you need the first time. You have the final adventure waiting to collect and finish at 9:30pm, 30 minutes before you go to bed on the final day.

So, this is possibly if, and only if:
(1) You have awesome neighbors and get responses right away and overnight, without having to send out any new requests in day 2 (or 3).
(2) You plan ahead and always have an adventure waiting to collect. (not doing so adds 5hrs to the timeline)
(3) You do all the previous days on time so that you start the day 8 tasks on day 8.
(4) The Parrot Feeder drops everything we need in one collection.

I think we all know that there is no way all four of those conditions are accurate.
I added an underline to the above quote


On Chapter 8:

*On Day 8 - get 21 Deckhands
*On Day 9 - get the remaining 19
*build the ship (8hour build)
On Chapter 9:

*Should still be on Day 9 moving into Day 10- get one crumb from Adventure (3 hrs)
*need 4 crumbs more will take 12 hours (if only one per adventure @3hrs per)
*combine the 5 crumbs (10hr craft)
On Chapter 10:

*Will be well into Day 10 probably, buy feeder
*depending on Feeder drops, yet to be reported, but average of 2 per collect every 2hrs (need 25 total), need 12 collects = 24hours
*send out another adventure

Unless less Deckhands needed
Unless more then 1 Crumb per Adventure
Unless more parrot food then estimated per collect

...this isn't looking good. I'd love some additional feedback about numbers. Am I missing/miscalcualting something?


The parrot feeder has consistently dropped 3 each time and you will receive one as a prize when you 'examine the spot'. Unless drop rates vary, plan to collect 8 times.
That's 16 hours to smush in -.-

Can anyone else look at this?
Silver's post is alot more detailed, and now with the info of a max 3 food per drop (from feeder), every 2 hours...I don't see how this event is doable without using Gems.
I hope I'm wrong and I am just missing something.

[netwiz3]

Just checked again and the icon is now there. I'm up and runnin'! Thanks netwiz3. :)

Sure thing... Better to start a day later anyway as it lets you see how everyone gets past the next days hurdle... It looks like with tight timing on days 8, 9 and 10 having a good strategy will be needed.(or perhaps Storm8 will make the goals more reasonable) ;-)

[ghjvcucjb]

Looking ahead and realized I need a pirates tavern. Went to get it but it states I'm maxed out and I need to level up to get one. I'm at max level. Which building to I need to delete so I can make room? I'm afraid I'll start deleting the wrong buildings.TIA

[stormyskater]

Silly question because I hate to spend gems, but I don't remember how it works to gem ahead on chapter quests... if I were on day 3 and finished early and want to gem ahead to day 4. When I finish day 4, will the next calendar day be day 5, or does day 5 start the 5th day of the event regardless of when you played day 4?

Usually the farmhouse is the easiest/quickest to rebuild if necessary if you have built a lot of those for past goals so sell one of those if you have level 1 one.

Day 5 would start on the 5th day of the event, so you'd wait 2 days instead of one for the next chapter.

Just a note to those of you freaking out about time:
The chapters don't have to be finished in a day, you just can't start the next til previous one is finished.

S8 usually give us 2 weeks for a story event so if you start on day one and do the first 7 chapters daily, you will still have about a week complete the final 3.

Hope this helps. 

Edit... Just looked at the story and it says 8 days left so S8 may be shortening the time on this one.

Go ahead and freak out LOL

Katt proved the last isn't accurate for sure... So somewhere along the way, we must need gems: either to skip the "request 40 from neigbors", or to speed up the parrot-food-thingie.

Does anyone know how much skipping the neighbor-request costs? And how much speeding the parrot-food-thing costs?

I always prepared for challenges by stocking up and not using anything remotely difficult to get unless I had 75 in stock. This included every crop that takes more than an hour to grow, but especially things like living wood, silver and anything golden. If it is an easy to obtain material like a short time growing crop, wood or stone, then have at least 50 in stock before using for story line. When I had 20 of the simple glue, beams and blocks then I'd make the next level up and keep it in storage, and so on. When you have a lot of glue, beams and blocks of all varieties in storage you are better able to level up any specific building that is required. Then you will be better prepared for timed events.

It costs 400 gems to skip the neighbor requests. However, I was able to get the 20 requests back in a few hours, then spent 200 gems to skip the 2nd day of requests. It costs 150 gems to skip the parrot food. That was a mistake on my part, because had I known that the feeder drops 3 food each time, it would have only taken 64 gems to just speed up the parrot feeder 8 times. It costs 8 gems to speed it up.

Is there any way you can talk to the team and have them drop the number of requests required to 20. Also up the drops with the parrot food to say 5 otherwise as the math has been stated. It's going to be impossible to complete.

[netwiz3]

You can go ahead and send the Adventure out but there is no reason to collect from it until Goal 3 of chapter 2. It will speed up/check off that goal as soon as you collect from the waiting adventure.

A tiny bit of good news - the parrot feeder has dropped 4 food for my last 2 collections. So it's possible that you will only need to collect from it 6-7 times.

For anyone who uses gems strategically, the best use of 80 gems would be to start chapter 8 immediately after finishing chapter 7. You could then send out the neighbor requests and have 2 days to get them in before having to tackle chapter 9. I know it's early for this suggestion, but I wanted to put the idea out there so you could start saving gems. Don't forget the 5 gem trade in the trade building. You don't need your gold for this quest, so you could turn it into gems.

It is always 10 days from the day you start. Every chapter event has been this way since the start. But as you said you don't need a full day for certain chapters. So for example to collect from 40 neighbors that will take one full day but on the second day you may finish in a few hours to get 20 people and then move on to the next chapter which is meant for that day anyway and you catch right up to where you are supposed to be. It seems like it might not be doable when looking but thinking of it this way then it makes it more manageable.
Hope this helps. 

With chapter events day 1 starts based on each player pushing the start button on their own... The next day always starts at Midnight California time so it sounds like in your case you just started today instead of yesterday. That's fine and actually not a bad idea to allow you extra time to see what the next goals are to prepare for... You'll still have the exact same amount of days as everyone else.

Hope that helps!

Have to say this is the best Storybook event I've ever taken part in. So far no relentless chopping, harvesting or raising/tending animals. We are doing lots of different things, using a range of buildings (so no worry about losing the use of your workshop or kitchen for the whole week) and the 'visit this' levels are pretty reasonable. I haven't had to suddenly craft a load of high level blocks or beams.

Good work so far S8. It's actually fun!

Though I'm still worried about SW.
