I've flagged the invisible outpost with the team. There is a bugs thread to monitor this issue, so please post about this issue there. I will move all related posts to the bugs thread shortly if you're looking for your post.

Do not post about this issue in this thread please...





PART 1 - UNLOCKING THE FEATHER
You get a Feather for completing these goals (after step 5). The Feather is what you need for the 'Help a Giant Bird' to expand to the Elven Outpost.
Dialogue:Ruler: Ivy! What's going on out here? The animals seem particularly unruly today...
Ivy: I'm not sure. They've been making a ruckus all morning! They're starting to bother the merchants, so I came to see what's going on. But nothing I try seems to work! They just won't calm down...
Ruler: Don't worry, Ivy. I'm sure we'll figure it out. Let me help you look around. We'll get to the bottom of this!

Ivy: Thanks for your help! I just wish I knew how to calm them down...

Ruler: Alright, come on out where we can see you. Slowly!
Adamir: ...
Ruler: ...Well, that was easy enough!
Ivy: Whoa, an Elf! I don't think I've seen any Elves around here before...
Ruler: Who are you? What are you doing here?
Adamir: S-Sorry! My name is Adamir. I'm afraid I'm in need of help, but... well, it's been quite long since I've seen humans, and ...
Ruler: It's okay. You're not the first one around here to be wary of us... Why don't you come join us at one of our taverns? You can tell us more over some warm food and refreshing drink.
Adamir: O-Oh! Ar... yes, that would be very nice! Thank you!

Ruler: Huh?
Nadina: *SCREECH! SCREEEEECH!*
Adamir: Ah! I know, I know! I am sorry, i should never have left you here!
Ruler: Wait, Adamir... You know this thing?
Nadina: *angry glare*
Adamir: P-Please, calm yourself, Nadina! They mean no disrespect, I am sure! Ah... yes... I am sorry I did not alert you sooner, kind Ruler... This beautiful, majestic creature is Nadina, my Cloudsparrow.
Thurston: That is no "sparrow", friend. That is an outright terror!
Nadina: *SCREEECH! *
Thurston: Eek!
Adamir: I admit, the Cloudsparrow can be quite the intimidating figure... But, I promise you she is no threat to your people and kingdom!
Ruler: Okay... I think we'll be the judge of that, in time. Right now, though, she looks pretty aggressive.
Adamir: My apologies... You see, she's rather upset with me at present... We're on something of an "ambassador" mission, looking to rekindle old alliances. A sudden storm forced us to take an emergency landing. she had to land without a suitable perch, and injured her talon in the process.
Ruler: I see. Is this the "help" you mentioned earlier?
Adamir: Yes. I am sorry I didn't clarify things earlier...
Ruler: It's fine. I'm just glad we got to her before she ran into the kingdom. Sir Thurston, you stay here with Nadina, Adamir, and the knights.
Thurston: Very well, My Liege! I shall ensure they do no harm to the kingdom!
Nadina: *glare*
Thurston: A-And that no harm comes *their* way, either!
Ruler: Thank you Sir Thurston.
Adamir: Where are you headed, if I may ask... ?
Ruler: Luckily for Nadina, we have the perfect person for the job! Ivy's great with animals! She'll be able to fix her right up in no time.

Adamir: Ah, yes! A pleasure to see you again, Miss Ivy.
Ivy: Hiya, Adamir! And this beg sweetie here must be Nadina?
Nadina: ...
Ivy: Aw, she's precious! Here, girl--you hungry?
Nadina: !!!
Ivy: Go ahead and dig in! there's more back at my hut. Why don't you follow me on back so we can get your foot cleaned and bandaged?

PART 2 - UNLOCKING THE EXPANSION SQUARE
Dialogue:Ruler: How's Nadina doing, Ivy?
Ivy: She's the greatest ever! Her feathers are so pretty, and her beak is the strongest I've seen, and--
Ruler: I was more talking about her foot...
Ivy: Oh, that! I've got her foot cleaned and bandaged now. It shouldn't be long before she's well enough to fly again!
Adamir: That's wonderful! Thank you so much for taking care of her, Ivy!
Ivy: Happy to help!
Adamir: I suppose, now that things have settled down, I ow you both some answers...
Ruler: A few, yeah. Should we start with where you and Nadina come from?
Adamir: Well, the cloud cities, of course!
Ruler: Wait, the... what? Cloud cities?
Adamir: I'd hoped you would know of them, though I can't say I'm surprised you do not.
Ivy: I've heard of them! Well, I'd heard of Cloudsparrows, anyway... Though, I thought they were just stories until the Ruler told me about Nadina.
Adamir: Well, it's all true! We Elves live in beautiful cities mounted upon the clouds.
Ruler: Cities in the clouds? How is that even possible?
Adamir: The Cloudsparrows are naturally able to perch upon the clouds. They inspired us, and we developed a way to imbue buildings with latent magic.
Ruler: Neat! But, why haven't we ever seen you all, or even heard of you?
Adamir: Unfortunately, our alliances with other lands fell apart hundred of years ago. I was but an infant, back then!
Ruler/Ivy thinking: !!! (How old *is* this guy...?!)
Adamir: Because of that, our Outposts were abandoned and fell into disrepair.
Ruler: Outposts?
Adamir: Ah, sorry! We once used them to engage in trade with other lands. I'd hoped to find and repair one, and reconnect my people with our old allies.
Ruler: Interesting... So there's one nearby? I'd like to learn more about your people!
Adamir: Yes, there should be!
Ivy: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go find us an Outpost!

Adamir: It would be my greatest joy to re-establish one of our old Outposts! I'm told they used to be everywhere...

PART 3 - UNLOCKING THE ELVEN OUTPOST
Dialogue:Ivy: Whoa... This place is ancient!
Adamir: Ah! Watch your footing! This place hasn't been touched in a hundred years... It is truly fascinating!
Ruler: Fascinating, perhaps, but also dangerous. We should get the place fixed up before we investigate too much further.
Adamir: Oh... Yes, you are right... I hate to burden you all with such a troublesome task. If you were to help me repair the Outpost, however, I would be much obliged!
Ruler: Sure, why not? I'd really like to learn more about the Elves, and our history together. This seems like a great opportunity to do just that!
Ivy: Yeah, and I wanna learn more about the Cloudsparrows! They used the Outposts to roost down here, right?
Adamir: Yes, they did! They have trouble landing elsewhere.
Ruler: Sounds like it's settled, then. Let's get to work repairing this Outpost!

Adamir: Nadina and I are grateful for your assistance, my friends! These are the materials we need...
1. Elven Restoration

Dialogue:Adamir: Wonderful, wonderful! I believe that is everything, my friends!
Ivy: Woohoo!

Adamir: We are so close... I can hardly wait to see what's inside this ancient structure!
2. The Final Touches
* Tap the Elven Outpost 0/1 GO
Rewards: 410 coin, 3 xp
Congratulations: Adamir: Complete at last! Come on in, everyone!
Dialogue:Adamir: Wonderful, wonderful! Come in, my friends!!!
Ivy: Hey wait up!
Ruler: He sure seems excited, huh?
Ivy: Wouldn't you be, too? he said he was a kid when the Elves stopped using the Outposts. He's probably never seen one before...
Ruler: Hmm...
Adamir: Hey! What's taking you two so long? Don't you want to see inside?
Ruler: Sorry, we're coming up now!
Adamir: It's like nothing I'd ever imagined... !
Ivy: Wow! This place is filled with all sorts of neat things!
Ruler: These artifacts must be ancient... I wonder if there are any texts lying around? I bet Old Thomas would jump at the opportunity to read some Elven scrolls!
Adamir: Oh, all that's alright, I suppose... But, can you believe this *craftsmanship*?!
Ruler/Ivy: ...?
Adamir: The fine grain of the wood, the smooth polish of the stone... !
Ivy: Uh... Yeah, I guess that's pretty neat. You must really like construction, huh?
Adamir: Yes, very much! It is something of a passion of mine! Erm... S-Sorry, I suppose it's a bit odd...
Ivy: That's okay! Everyone has their interests. Old Thomas really likes that stuff too, in fact. I bet you'd get along great!
Ruler: Hey, check these out! They look like... records of some sort? I can't read this language, though. Adamir, can you tell what it says?
Adamir: Ah! Those are request forms. They details what resources we need back home. It's a long journey, so we gather the materials here for a single delivery.
Ruler: It's been a really long time. You think they still need this stuff?
Adamir: We live in the clouds, Kind Ruler! We have neither trees nor mines... save for the occasional drifting mountain peak, of course!
Ruler: Oh, right. Well, how about we try sending a delivery? You know, as a show of good will, and to let them know the Outpost is open again!
Adamir: Ah, yes! Wonderful! I'll prepare Nadina right away!!!

Adamir: Thanks to Ivy, Nadina's foot looks good as new! She's rested up and ready for our very first delivery!
3. Off And Away!
* Deliver an outpost request 0/1 GO | Note, you only have to Deliver 1 of the 6 trades.
Rewards: 410 coin, 3 xp
Congratulations: Adamir: Your first delivery has been secured!
Dialogue:Ruler: All done! ...Wait, why isn't she heading back? Is something wrong?
Adamir: Oh, no, nothing's wrong! It's just that the journey can be long and treacherous. Because of that, we try to minimize how many trips Nadina makes to the city. Nadina will only return to the city when she's received all six Requests.
Ruler: Ah, I see! What happens then?
Adamir: At that point, I will pay you with runes from the Outpost's stores!
Ruler: Runes? I'm guessing that's a kind of payment?
Adamir: Yes, in a manner of speaking! We use them so you can acquire the goods and services *you* want, rather than restrict you to a particular item or resource!
Ruler: Got it. I can't wait to see how many Runes we get from the delivery!

Dialogue:Ivy: Whoa! Was that Nadina? she looks so happy to be flying again!
Adamir: Yes, she does! It's all thanks to your handiwork, Miss Ivy... Thank you!
Ivy: Aww shucks, it was nothing! I was happy to help that big ol' sweetie.
Ruler: Hey, Ivy! Check out these Runes Adamir gave us!
Ivy: Ooo! They're so pretty! What do they do?
Ruler: They don't *do* anything. It's a form of currency!
Ivy: Aww...
Adamir: Ah! N-Not to worry, Miss Ivy. There are many magical things you can purchase with Runes!
Ivy: Oh? Like what? Can I see?
Adamir: Yes, yes! I found the Outpost's old exchange records. These texts list out all of the things you can purchase with your Runes.
Ivy: Ooo, it even has pictures! so, what'll it be Ruler? What should we buy first?
Ruler: Oh, um... I'm not too sure... Does anything look interesting to you?
Ivy: this Elvenite Slab looks pretty! What's it for, Adamir?
Adamir: Oh! With that, you'll be able mine your own Elvenite! It's a rare resource we use in many of our crafting techniques,
Ruler: Sounds like it'd be pretty useful to have around here, huh? Alright, sure! Let's give that a try, then.

PART 4 - UNLOCKING THE RELIQUARY
Dialogue:Ruler: Hey there, Adamir! What's up?
Adamir: Oh, ah... I... I just wanted to thank you again for helping me with the Outpost. Nadina and I truly appreciate the kindness you have shown us.
Ruler: Our pleasure! We strive to help those in need as much as possible around here.
Adamir: It's refreshing to hear that, Kind Ruler.
Ruler: ...Hm? What do you mean?
I missed a screen here... can someone remember to record it for me please! SW
Adamir: Ah! Erm... I-It's nothing, don't mind me! I would love to learn more about your people. Might I bother you for a tour?
Ruler: Oh, sure thing. Right this way!

Dialogue:Ruler: Uh-oh! Cloudsparrow, coming in hot!
Adamir: Huh? Nadina? I wonder what's--
Nadina: *screech, screeeeech!*
Adamir: Ah! C-Calm yourself, please! What's wrong?
Nadina: *gestures frantically toward the sky*
Adamir: Oh, dear...
Ruler: What? What is it, Adamir?
Adamir: Erm, well... You recall the storm I mentioned earlier?
Ruler: yeah, sort of. The one that forced you guys to land here?
Adamir: Yes. I had thought the storm had passed, but it seems to have returned!
Ruler: Oh... Well, it should calm back down again, right?
Nadina: *screeeeeeeech!!!*
Ruler: Uh... I guess not... ?
Adamir: This storm is like nothing we've seen before. It possesses very odd qualities...Nadina here suspects it may be magical in nature.
Ruler: I see. We'd better consult an expert, then!
Adamir: Oh! Miss Ivy, perhaps?
Ruler: ... I take it you've never seen Ivy when she's brewing potions?
Adamir: Er... No...


Adamir: I shall leave it to your judgement then, Kind Ruler. Did you have someone else in mind?
2. An Expert Opinion

* Consult Lady Greselda 0/1 VISIT (skip 15 gems)
Rewards: 410 coin, 3 xp
Congratulations: Greselda: yes? Do you need something, Young Ruler?
Dialogue:Greselda: What is it? Can't you see I'm busy dealing with my plants?
Ruler: Sorry, Lady Greselda. This is something of an emergency.
Greselda: When is it not? ... Who is this?
Adamir: Ah! H-Hello, Ma'am! My name is Adamir. I'm an Elf from--
Greselda: What do you want?
Adamir: Er, right! Sorry! My Cloudsparrow and I are a good bit worried. You see, there's--
Greselda: Wait, did you say "Cloudsparrow"?
Adamir: Ah... Yes... ?
Greselda: Intriguing... Continue.
Adamir: Um! Yes! Right. So we're a bit perplexed by a storm brewing--
Greselda: Yes, I noticed. Quite the nice change of weather, isn't it?
Adamir: Er... Well... That storm... It has my Cloudsparrow and I troubled. It appeared out of nowhere!
Greselda: Storm do that fro time to time, you know.
Adamir: yes, but this one seems... abnormal. We suspect it may be...
Greselda: ...Magical?
Adamir: Y-Yes... ?
Greselda: ...
Ruler / Adamir ... ?
Greselda: *rushes off* My peonies... !

Adamir: Well, she seems... pleasant... ! Where did she go? And what was that about... "peonies," was it?
3. Peony Predictions
* Follow Lady Greselda around her garden 0/3 GO (skip 30 gems) | visit Greselda's Dark Garden Maze
Rewards: 410 coin, 3 xp
Congratulations: Adamir: Ah, there she is! ...Are all of her plants this terrifying?
Dialogue:Ruler: ...Lady Greselda? Is everything okay?
Greselda: No, it isn't. Do you see these flowers?
Ruler: yeah. What about them?
Greselda: These are Nimbus Peonies, a rare plant which leans towards saturated clouds.
Ruler: Oh! Kind of like how sunflowers lean towards the sun?
Greselda: Indeed. Anyhow, they've been behaving oddly as of late. I had presumed it was simply because of how many storm clouds are about. However, if that storm truly is magical in nature...
Adamir: Oh! The magical clouds could be what's confusing the peonies?
Greselda: ...Yes ...Remind me, why are you here in our kingdom?
Adamir: Ah... W-Well, I'm an Outpost Messenger, from one of the Elven cloud cities.
Greselda: Never heard of it. In any case, I'd say this supports your suspicions about that storm. As flattered as I am by your acknowledgement of my expertise, Young Ruler I'm afraid I will need an assistant to properly decipher this peculiarity.
Adamir: Like Miss Ivy?
Greselda: Yes. She still has much to learn, but...this should be an excellent opportunity to teach her more of the craft...

Adamir: I might have been able to help, but Lady Greselda doesn't seem to like me much... anyway, I'm sure Ivy would love to lend a hand!
4. Communing with Clouds
* Fetch Ivy 0/1 GET (skip 10 gems)
* Return to Lady Greselda's Castle 0/1 VISIT (skip 15 gems)
Rewards: 410 coin, 3 xp + Reliquary unlocks
Congratulations: Ivy: A lesson in magic? I can't wait to start!
Dialogue:Ivy: Hiya, Lady Greselda! I hear you could use a hand with something?
Greselda: I could. Have the Young Ruler and Adamir filled you in?
Ivy: Nope, not yet. They just said it had something to do with that storm?
Greselda: Yes. In short, we suspect it may be magical in nature. We need to determine if this is truly the case, and if so what is causing it.
Ivy: got it. Hmm... This is tricky...
Greselda: Indeed. Without an certainty of its nature, we can't create a counter-hex.
Ivy: Which means we can't charm something to point us in the right direction, either.
Greselda: What we need is some sort of generic detection mechanism...
Adamir: ...Like a compass, perhaps?
Greselda: Yes, that-- ...You are still here?
Adamir: S-Sorry, I... I just find all of this terribly fascinating, and... Well, I'd like to help, if I can!
Ivy: Don't worry, Lady Greselda. I can vouch for him! He may be a bit odd and quiet and awkward--
Adamir: ...
Ivy: --but he's really nice, and knows a lot about Elf stuff!
Greselda: I would hope so. He *is* an Elf. In any case, yes. What we need is some kind of... magic compass. Something we can calibrate to point to particular types of magic.
Ivy: Yeah! That would tell us not only *if* that cloud is magical but also where it's coming from!
Adamir: I believe I can create something that will help in this regards! Elvenite is particularly sensitive to magic. It's the key ingredient in our magic-infused crafting techniques!
Greselda: Your point, if you please?
Adamir: Ah, y-yes, of course! With the proper equipment, I can create an Elvenite Node. The node will point towards the strongest sources of magic! Kind of like you peonies, eh heh...
Greselda: ...The "proper equipment," you say?
Adamir: Erm, yes... We would need to construct an Elven Reliquary. You can buy the blueprints for one with Runes.
Greselda: Those things the Young Ruler gets from your "Outpost", you mean?
Adamir: y-Yes... Is... that a problem... ?
Greselda: You will have to ask the Young Ruler. I find it interesting, is all.

Greselda: Adamir's proposal is the best... well, the ONLY... plan we have, at present. Return here when he has finished creating this "node" of his.
5. No Ordinary Reliquary

Congratulations: Greselda: Ah, I see his work is complete. shall we take a look?
Dialogue:


For this special brew, we will need to combine Adamir's Elvenite with some local Glimmerdust and Earth Wisps. That should point the Elvenite Node in the proper direction...
6. With Our Magics Combined
* Collect Glimmerdust 0/20 | ones in inventory count

Rewards: 1800 coin, 7 xp
Congratulations: Greselda: Very good, My Dears! Now, where exactly is our friends' little trinket leading us... ?
Dialogue:Ivy: Ooo, look! It's working!
Greselda: Excellent! It seems to be directing us into the Glimmerwood....
Ivy: Wait... doesn't that mean it could just be pointing to other local magics?
Greselda: It's possible, yes. However, that will determine the validity of our theory. If the node does not lead us to the source of the storm then the storm is not born of magic.
Ivy: Ahh, I see! ... But, what then? We'll be out of leads!
Greselda: Knowing what to *ignore* can be just as useful as knowing what check.
Ivy: That's true. Alright, Adamir! You ready to venture back into the Glimmerwood?
Adamir: Ah! yes, I am! But, should we not bring the Ruler with us?
Greselda: For once, I actually agree with you...

Ivy: Are you ready, Ruler? It could be dangerous... Make sure you've well for anything!

Rewards: 410 coin, 3 xp
Congratulations: Ivy: Hmm... I think... we might be lost...
Dialogue:Ivy: Lady Greselda, are we lost? I don't see anything...
Greselda: Nor I, Miss Ivy. It seems we may be wrong about this storm after all...
Ruler: Wait, there! What's that, lodged in the ground?
Ivy: Huh? That's just a rock, isn't it?
Adamir: Oh, no! That's no rock, Miss Ivy...Look here, upon its side.
Ivy: That writing! It matches the text from the Outpost!
Adamir: Yes! It appears to be an ancient, Elven relic!
Greselda: An *Elven* relic hm? And just what, my dear Adamir, would an ELVEN relic be doing in the Glimmerwood?
Adamir: I... I d-don't know! I had nothing to do with this-- honest!
Greselda: Well, conveniently enough for *you*, it matters not if you're telling the truth. Either way, you're the most likely to know how to resolve this, aren't you?
Adamir: Y-Yes, I... I suppose... But even I am limited in this regard, Lady Greselda! I wish it were not so, but my knowledge of ancient relics is quite limited.
Ruler: What about Old Thomas? He might have something in his archives we can reference.
Greselda: It is worth a look, at least. I propose we consult Old Thomas's records. In the meantime...
Adamir: Erm... I should brave the storm, and ask around the cloud city... ?
Greselda: Yes. Scurry on home, Little Elf, and gather all the information you can find. We must be thorough when it comes to magic totems such as this. Especially one powerful enough to create storms *that* severe!

Greselda: I do not trust that elf, Young Ruler. However, we do not have any choice in the matter--without his aid, we will never learn more about the relic... and these mysterious Elves.
8. A Turbulent Totem
* Send an outpost delivery 0/1 SEND (skip 50 gems)
* Scour the Old Thomas archives 0/3 SEARCH (skip 30 gems)
Rewards: 1800 coin, 7 xp
Congratulations: Old Thomas: Young Ruler, I think I may have found something! ...Wait, where did I put that scroll? Ahh... My apologies, I may need a moment...


PART 5 - UNLOCKING THE APOTHECARY
These goals start after Le Tour De Glimmerwood, but before Expert Opinion.
Dialogue:Adamir: How are you enjoying the Outpost, Kind Ruler?
Ruler: It's definitely brought new, cool things to the kingdom, that's for sure!
Adamir: I'm glad you enjoy it!
Ruler: I did have a question, though.
Adamir: Oh? is... Something wrong...?
Ruler: What? No! Not at all! I was just curious about some of these buildings. What are they, exactly?
Adamir: Ah, I see! Yes, I can explain that! As the Glimmerwood's Ambassador, I'm happy to offer my services as a Spellmason.
Ruler: A what now?
Adamir: Sorry! That's what we call craftsmen that employ magic-driven techniques.
Ruler: I see. So, you're a Spellmason!
Adamir: Y-Yes, I... I am!
Ruler: Okay, neat. So, what sorts of things can you make?
Adamir: All kinds of things! Our most popular crafts, however, are boosts. They're unique spells, which can augment a kingdom's resource production! For example, we can increase a crop's yields, or hasten a workshop's production.
Ruler: Interesting...
Adamir: All I need in order to make these things for you is an Apothecary.

Let me know when you've acquired an Apothecary, and I will be happy to demonstrate this technique for you!
1. Augmenting Realities
* Purchase the Apothecary 0/1 BUY | 8 bronze runes
Rewards: 5 silver runes, 10 bronze runes
Congratulations: Adamir: I see you have constructed an Apothecary, Kind Ruler! Come, come,melt me show you its wonders!
Dialogue:Adamir: Welcome to the Apothecary, Kind Ruler!
Ruler: Cool! Alright, Adamir, show me what you can do!
Adamir: Gladly! I provided you with enough Runes to make a Fast Worker boost. While active, your Workshops will complete their tasks much faster than normal!
Ruler: That sounds useful!
Adamir: Come on inside, and I will show you how it is done!

I already have everything I need to make one Fast Worker boost for you. All you need to do is say the word, and I will make it for you!
2. Working Wonders
* Craft a fast worker boost 0/1 GO
Rewards: 410 coin, 3 xp
Congratulations: Your boost in now complete! I hope you find it useful!
Dialogue:
The Fast Worker boost will reduce how long it takes for your Workshops to make items. Craft something while the boost is active to take advantage of its effects!
3. Crafting Overdrive!
* Activate the Fast Worker Boost 0/1 ACTIVATE
* Craft anything in the workshop 0/1 MAKE
Rewards: 5 silver runes, 4 bronze runes
Congratulations: I hope you enjoyed the demonstration, Kind Ruler! Here are some extra Runes to get you started towards your next boost!


End of goal.

You'll use elvenite for crafting in the Reliquary when you reach that goal. It's used to make elvenite nodes and elvenite elixir.

[SpiritWind00]

Items to add to the Inventory Guide: COMPLETE AND IN THE INVENTORY GUIDE.

Note: If you send some items prior to completing the entire order, you will lose those items. If you don't want to part with even one item in the group, don't tick any of the items. Let the trade expire.

READ POST 9!

[sourp4tch]

Ever see a city float? Lift your eyes towards the clouds, and you may be surprised at what you find there! Very rarely, you might catch a glimpse of giant birds gliding about tall, gleaming towers and glistening palaces. Even if you don't believe me, is it not worth a look, just in case? Someone might be waiting for you to find them!

[==Update requires Level 27+ on Version 1.6, and will be here to stay.==]

I've been playing a game! Have you figured out this week's answer? The answer is: ELVES

[sourp4tch]

Castle Story Version 1.6 is now live! Update your games to receive the new feature and content :D

Hope you all enjoy!!!

[kdgulle]

I can't expand there. :(:confused:

[meme1098]

*****Here's some great instructions for the Outpost by CoCoMom:


As I understand it - we know the following:
#1:If you click on one or more of the 6 items offered they will be removed from your inventory immediately.
#2:If you click on the Deliver All button (it doesn't say that but it should) all items will be removed from your inventory and delivered immediately, whether you have checked them off individually or not.
#3:The only way to receive runes is to fill all 6 requested items.
#4:When a request is made it starts an 18 hr timer - you have 18 hrs to complete the trade, if the timer expires the trade will no longer be valid.
#5:When you click the Deliver All button - you receive runes immediately - and there is a 4 hr timer established before a new trade appears. In the mean time there is a list of items that will be asked for in the next trade.

AND -

#6:If you have one or more items selected for delivery and you let the time expire without clicking on the Deliver All button, the items you selected - that were removed from inventory as per #1 are lost forever and you receive no runes as payment.

SO - DO NOT CLICK ON ANYTHING UNLESS U ARE WILLING TO TRADE ALL OF THE 6 ITEMS ASKED FOR

[zoroak]

I don't have the update in the App Store, SourP4tch

Nor do we in the UK App Store

[ktorewqas]

WARNING: You cannot do partial trades! If you click on deliver of any of the 6 items and/or the Deliver on the right side of the screen you are agreeing to trade ALL 6 items!

[netwiz3]

Up front so nobody misses it:

WARNING: You cannot do partial trades! If you click on deliver of any of the 6 items and/or the Deliver on the right side of the screen you are agreeing to trade ALL 6 items!

Now please continue to read below...
Adding this info from a later post so it's seen early by people starting this event...

************************************************** ****************************

First post in a while on this thread as I'd been waiting to see the rules before playing. Please all of those who have been burned already don't take this negatively as the only person to blame for the issues so far is S8 with the lack of clarity this was delivered...

That being said; as the real players of this game(since our goals and S8s are sometimes not aligned) ;), we as a community need to figure out how to work around the hurdles they place in front of us. I know it's very often tempting to give up on S8 and just stop playing but I think a lot of us are actually more in it for that community and long time game play versus the implementation of event/feature XYZ.

For this event it appears it is very similar to other games and you should ONLY do a trade IF you carefully weigh all 6 items and how hard they will be to replenish. If any of the items are hard to get and often needed for other tasks simply wait for the next trade no matter how tempted you are to move along.

This in fact is VERY similar to even CS quests where especially for lower level players or players with low stock of many items, it is VERY advisable to wait for others to go first and see what the steps are and then determine if you should try the event at all. Once you start the event and begin giving away items to accomplish the goals in the event, they are gone forever regardless if you make the final item.(in essence S8 steals them) Thus, you've gotta weigh the risk/reward on every event and let any very challenging one pass by no matter how tempting the "carrot" at the end seems.

I know everyone is ready to start this new expansion right now and start getting the brand new "carrots", but urge everyone to be patient and treat this as one of the long term goals that you'll eventually one day be able to achieve.(like sister, sister).

As for the Dew, unless you want to splurge and buy the Blossom, the only thing worth doing right now is to continue checking Ivy's every chance you get and slowly get 3 leafs per successful drop. I've seen no increased drop rate on flower petals when replenishing the petals I've used for other tasks. Again, resist the temptation to use every energy you have to continue harvest flowers after you're maxed out the individual petals as the drops are VERY RARE so the energy could be better utilized stocking up on more common materials used in quests/events.

I know for many/most of us this will greatly slow down achieving things in this new expansion but seems to be the best alternative at this time. Besides, it seems like with the high bar that we've been given to even start this quest, S8 will have to continue MOST events going forward without requiring stuff from this expansion. They'll be spending a lot of time resources already on just working the bugs out of what we have now as well.

Overall this does help give long term players something to continue on while waiting for future plots to play out and now lets the players coming up through the game from the beginning know that they will have something else to do once they get done with all the other goals along the way.(in addition to the ongoing events).

[meme1098]

Yep, keep refreshing the update page in the App Store...lol. Nothing

That would be payback, right, netwiz...lol

It's pretty sad when you have the forum open in one place(on the business IPad Pro) & the game or App Store on my iPad. :D

[sourp4tch]

urk... just a moment, investigating... ><;

[jmterao]

I have a new building that popped up. Far left side of my kingdom. I hope it's going to be movable as its in my troll village.

When tapped on it says to expand here but you can't expand to it.

If you're having problems with updating, search for & see if that helps.

It's a new currency: runes

[zoroak]

Step 2
Visit a level 6 tavern

Serve 3 spicy feasts

[kdgulle]

They moved the feed to the bottom left next to the menu.

[netwiz3]

Nice so this is a long term goal then and the first game usage of the Dew.

[cyndora]

It's a new currency: runes

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, this is riveting !!!

[zoroak]

Step 3
Rally the Knights (visit 10 watchtowers or lantern spires)
Equip longswords (5)
Equip light armour (5)

[izzyiza]

Step 2
Visit a level 6 tavern

Serve 3 spicy feasts

Level 6? So it'll take time to update since I don't have enough dew yet to make the necessary items.

[zoroak]

Step 4
Prepare avian feasts (x3)

Craft cloth bandages (x5)

[KEC09]

Which tavern? Pirate or regular?

[izzyiza]

Which tavern? Pirate or regular?
I was just wondering the same thing since the pirate one requires two beams and two blocks instead of the three for a regular tavern.

[dragongold1]

Which tavern? Pirate or regular?

regular can skip for 20 gems also

[BufftonHeights]

This is so exciting! If only I hadn't collected from hatchery and stable while waiting for the update. :(

[zoroak]

3371433713

[zoroak]

Have not got to step 5 but I'm presuming reward is the feather for the expansion requirements.

[zoroak]

Yep it's the regular tavern and these are the requirements for level 6

This is tough, I have 8 permits because I was going to open up 3 plots. Glad I waited, I should be able to open this up tomorrow if I get the feather

[sourp4tch]

They moved the feed to the bottom left next to the menu.

We're really proud of all the hard work that went into this update!

[zoroak]

It needs 9 wisp lanterns, not permits

[izzyiza]

regular can skip for 20 gems also


Thanks for the info. I will more than likely save the gems to skip since it will take so long to get the three beams and three blocks.

[kattkrazie]

Step 3
Rally the Knights (visit 10 watchtowers or lantern spires)
Equip longswords (10)
Equip light armour (10)

This should read (0/5) longswords and (0/5) light armor

[kdgulle]

We're really proud of all the hard work that went into this update!

It looks great, I love the scroll very nicely done, just wanted to let others know it didn't disappear

[kdgulle]

It needs 9 wisp lanterns, not permits

Thank you, I just assumed it was permits, I like the 9 lanterns much better.

are they going to bring back the epic deco we got a glimpse of earlier today?

Any other Android users seeing a problem with the menus in the workshops etc after doing the update? Mine are all in the reverse order. Last time this happened the avatar went awol too - at least she's not affected this time.

I've done the update on the iPad too, and the menus seem ok there.

[PrincessCupOButter]

I'm so excited to have a new permanent goal! I can't wait to start collecting the new currency and get all the new goodies. (Those Rainbow Alis! ��) But I also want to go slow and savor the feeling of not having an impending deadline. Lol

[FlowerBurst]

I am only obtaining dew from Ivy so it is very slow-going! I did not purchase the bloom, and I have not obtained any from harvesting flowers since I finished the Spellbound update back in August. Is it still dropping from flowers for anyone?

[balkanchick]

It is but rarely. Also I have gotten drops from the Moon Crystal lv5

[kattkrazie]

For those who like to plan ahead, get your faerie flowerbeds out of storage and collect regularly. You are going to need a lot of piles of seeds. Get the sheep out as well, need lots of wool. Also wool drops from camel.

Avian Feast requires 30 piles of seeds, 3 magic fruit, 5 rat tails. Takes 3 hrs. You'll make 3 of these feasts (so far).

Cloth Bandage requires 10 wool, 10 sap, 1000 coins. Takes 2 hrs. You'll need to make 5 cloth bandages.

Faerie Respite also drops piles of seeds as well as the new parrot. (He also drops Golden Eggs.)

[meme1098]

I agree. I had 99 piles of seeds and now have 9. Hoping we won't need more feasts before this is over.

[SpiritWind00]

Wow, this is a nice surprise! I'll collate all the info asap... :)

[cyndora]

i have to say , i dont know everything that is coming our way in castle story, but i am really excited about the elves, that it is NOT a timed event , and is here to stay. the building looks awesome even though i am not able to open the plot up yet. i read somewhere on another thread that there were rainbow ali's , i mean is it xmas already!
i am ready to go all crazy on my partner so he will release the ipad from his death grip so i can play on that instead of my phone lol

[kattkrazie]

I've expanded the building area and it is an Elven Outpost. We get to do deliveries of items in our inventory and earn bronze, silver and gold runes. My first delivery was wood, glimmerdust, stone, fish, white petal, and iron ore. I earned 8 bronze runes. This is going to be AWESOME!

By the way, you'll need a level 6 theater and conservatory, but not for awhile. Just a head's up.

Great update, good luck!

[PinkPiggie1230]

Oh no the items are in reverse order again like the last update! Like the easy/commom items you make are last so you have to scroll forever to get there. Can you fix that again?

[prancinland]

Yahoo!! Doing the happy dance and living up to my name! Love this, thank you everyone at S8 ---our moderators--- and all those who gem a head!

You need the feather to expand to the Elven Outpost. To get the feather:

Feed Nadina (0/3)
Give the Avian Feasts

Bandage Nadina's Talon (0/5)
Give the cloth bandages

Visit Ivy's Hut (0/1) Go

Reward is the feather.

Then new goals begin called Elven Restoration.

[dragoniakingdom]

I've updated (iPad Air). Since the update my News area is messed up...yes I have hard restarted my device. It shows *blank* has visited.

[kattkrazie]

Elven Restoration:

Goal 1 -
Give Adamir Royal Beams (0/2)
Give Adamir Royal Blocks (0/2)
Give Adamir Architect's Paste (0/1)
Give Adamir Luminesence (0/1)

Goal 2 -
Tap the Elven Outpost
(There was no timer, just click on it)

Goal 3 -
Deliver an outpost request (0/1)
(There are 6 different items by default that you click to send. I had them all in inventory, but I'm assuming in some cases, you'll have to wait until you collect them. You don't choose what to send, it's already there.)

Goal 4 - Purchase an Elvenite Slab (0/1)
(There's a new Rune Market. This is where you purchase the slab. It costs 8 bronze runes which you should have already from the above goals. The reward is 10 gems.)

Then Le Tour De Glimmerwood begins.

[kattkrazie]

Le Tour De Glimmerwood:

Introduce Adamir to Kingdom (0/10)
(Visit Farmhouse and Cottages)

Enjoy a play with Adamir (0/1)

[kattkrazie]

An Expert Opinion:

Recruit a magic expert (0/1)
(Automatically checked off)

Consult Lady Greselda (0/1)

Peony Predictions begins.

[kattkrazie]

Peony Predictions:

Follow Lady Greselda around her garden (0/3)

Communing with Clouds begins.

[RevdKathy]

In the UK, on android. Happy to say I can see the building and the goals.

I have a couple of issues though. This shows as a 'featured' goal. Please can someone confirm that we don't need to rush on this? There's noticed, right? It's going to take me a while to get all those leafy beams and blocks. I have three other goals in my book, and they're all the ones that take a lifetime (Sister, sister anyone?) so nothing goes fast in my Kingdom. I still have lots of the story to work through - I'm not yet trading with the fairies (all those hairpins and cakes). I don't want to run at this if I can help it.

The other thing is... Please, please PLEASE put my recipe and crafting books back the right way up. I need to keep up with regular flour and granulated sugar (for the fairies) and the last thing I need is to scroll through everything else in the book to get there.

[Zirilka]

The other thing is... Please, please PLEASE put my recipe and crafting books back the right way up. I need to keep up with regular flour and granulated sugar (for the fairies) and the last thing I need is to scroll through everything else in the book to get there.

I'm also UK and android and I haven't got the new quest and there is no update in the play store. Did you have to do anything to prompt it to show for you?

I just woke up, played a little (visited the stable and henhouse, which is annoying) then saw the building. I couldn't expand there, so I opened the play store and searched for castle story. There was an update, so I installed it and it's all there.

Sorry you can't get it. :(

Ah...thanks...looked again in the store and found an update. Must still be half asleep!

[ghjvcucjb]

I got the new expansion. Instead of needing a permit it requires a feather. After much clicking around I realize you get the feather from the new goal. I completed the new first goal and the elf appeared. He needed to drink and eat at a level 6 tavern. Now I'm stuck because my kingdom is in very short supply of the needed dew to make the special blocks and beams to level the tavern up to a level 6. In all the time the dew goal has been around, I believe I've only been able to make one beam. Any advice on how to get more dew besides flowers that I've never recieved from and am full on? TIA

[ghjvcucjb]

Just found the new building expansion, which is different from the feather expansion, but it won't let me expand. Just a message to expand and collect my reward

[Tamochan]

I have. Random building in my kingdom that cannot be moved... Help????

[kattkrazie]

The new building expansion and feather goal are the same. You have to complete the goals in your goal book on the left side of the screen, then you'll receive the feather to complete the new expansion.

[Wonkaland99]

For Heaven's sake S8, DON'T YOU EVER do anything like this again, or the game will be HISTORY on my tablet.

I am 72 years old and need full control of my few remaining brain cells to remember where I have put things - it is not COOL if someone comes along and moves something when I am not looking.

I would have sworn there were trees at the back of my colosseum and suddenly there's just grass. Perhaps I had my Chateau or Manor there before, and stored it for the current event? No, nothing in storage that shouldn't be there. Ok, I know I did an expansion a couple of weeks ago. I thought I cleared it and filled it up straightaway, but perhaps I just cleared it and forgot to put anything in it? Unlikely, but no problem, I'll do a quick reorganization before bed. Aaargh nothing will stay where it's put and my battery needs charging. Just go to bed and worry all night that I've completely lost it.

Now this morning there's a building on the grass and a new thread to read!

Next time give a splash screen or a dialogue or some sort of warning, PLEASE!

[ghjvcucjb]

The new building expansion and feather goal are the same. You have to complete the goals in your goal book on the left side of the screen, then you'll receive the feather to complete the new expansion.

Originally the feather expansion was not under the new building in my kingdom. It was on an empty space. When the new building appeared later there was no way to expand. After force closing several times, they both appear together.

Anyone else missing a 2x2 building? I don't know what building, but in my kingdom, all buildings are tightly put together, and now I have a 2x2 gap, in the middel of my buildings-section...

I've updated (iPad Air). Since the update my News area is messed up...yes I have hard restarted my device. It shows *blank* has visited.

It's a scrolling bug. I have it too, on iPhone it crashes the game.
There's another bug with News - the counter doesn't reset after I check News.

I do enjoy the animation of the bird flying back and forth once you fulfill orders. However, I'm frustrated that this means that the Elven Outpost cannot be moved. I'm someone who spends a lot of time organizing my kingdom.

I know in other games similar buildings are capable of having flying animations/animated elements along with being able to move it every which way. That kind of coding is indeed possible.

If that can't be done, I'd honestly give up the flying animation just to be able to move things where I want them. Customization in this game has always been key for me.

It's a bummer that it can't be moved. :-( I'd rather move that one building to set up an elf area elsewhere than to have to move other things already set-up. Oh well, still an exciting new update!

Thanks for sharing the pics! One question: What is the timer on the right side of the screen about?


Thanks also to Katt for giving us a heads up on what to look forward to :D

One note about the update....my news counter doesn't reset after checking it either, but it clears after a force close. As bugs go, that one is very minor, but I saw it mentioned and thought I'd confirm it's happening to other players too.

And last but not least, I agree with wonka, a splash screen or pop-up would be nice. Not everyone is familiar with the forums and considering the confusion even here, imagine how those players who don't come here must be feeling. That isn't a complaint, just a request for a bit more notice for changes this big. A new building normally just doesn't appear like that! Lol

We did fight Greselda before she became part of our kingdom..she was a wearing a red dress back then and all evil looking, and after the fight and some Ivy's magic potions,she wears a beige dress in which she walks around the kingdom...it must have been too long since you completed the Greselda storyline that you have forgotten it :p

Sorry for being off topic....

Yes, it has been awhile....lol. I'm excited for the peacock though. I can just see it strutting about showing off its plumage. Hopefully it will be a silent one though, cuz in real life they are quite irritatingly loud.

The rainbow Ali and a new path, gate and wall appeared briefly in the market yesterday, when the new expansion was cleared, but before the update was released. (part of some future goals or event perhaps). For more info, check out this thread.

i know this should be in the bugs section, but i thought it would be looked at faster here. there is a sound drop when you watch the videos, when you come back to your kingdom you hear no music. also after this update when you first log on, the music skips ( kinda ) . thought you should know.

Conservatory, Magic Garden, Ivy's Hut. Probably more but can't think of any where else right now.

The timer just shows how long you have to load all the requested items in order to receive runes. It's usually about 18 hours to load and 4 hours for the bird to return after you've sent it out.

Some more photos. Quite a few big menu changes. Get ready for a more cluttered screen.

A few of the icons are redundant in my opinion...particularly the rune info on the top center right. You can just click on the timer and then the rune store for the same information. I'm hoping they reevaluate and clear things up.

Normal tavern as if I click on the quest button, it brings me to the normal tavern, so I wouldn't risk using the pirate tavern, sorry.

Nice!
But I'd already expanded that lot, and now my building (don't know which one was standing there) has disappeared. Don't see one that could've been it on the first page of my inventory either, so it's not there. And what about the permits I spend on that part of land?

[SamsHappyMom]

Not sure what to do -- I see the new building but cannot expand to it and see no goals. Force closed, latest version and even turned the tablet on and off. Ideas?

[fish63]

Thank you to all who helped me with my quest for seeds!

[kattkrazie]

This update addresses a lot of the complaints we have all had. The new outpost has a gem confirmation button. So nice. And I did a trade with spellbooks and naga fins among other previously useless items, so I can start collecting those again. In fact, now we have a purpose in collecting from resource buildings and animals, which I had all but given up on since being maxed on all. Hoarders will definitely have an advantage in sending out deliveries.

Great job, S8. This is really exciting!

It's a long term untimed goal so no rushing required.

That area was never an expandable spot. It was a dead area. I'm fully expanded except for 1 spot to allow me to continue to make expansion permits & that was not the spot.

Is it just me, but the only place I get spellbound leaves is from Ivy's house and that's rare. I have never seen one from flowers. Since the spellbound started I have only been able to make one log, I have all kinds of flowers, but no luck with any, at this rate it's going to take forever to upgrade the tavern to level 6. Any suggestions please!

[kattkrazie]

Runes are earned by sending out deliveries from Elven Outpost. There's a new rune market where we can buy decorations as well as the new rainbow Ali.

You are not alone, I've posted and asked for advice several times regarding this. Have wasted tons of energy on flowers and have never recieved on from them.

Six different items with 1 or 2 of each

[newzealander]

I've expanded the building area and it is an Elven Outpost. We get to do deliveries of items in our inventory and earn bronze, silver and gold runes. My first delivery was wood, glimmerdust, stone, fish, white petal, and iron ore. I earned 8 bronze runes. This is going to be AWESOME!

By the way, you'll need a level 6 theater and conservatory, but not for awhile. Just a head's up.

Do you have any Red Trillium? I have 4, and I've collected twice from them today, and got one spellbound dew each time. This is first time I've had spellbound from any flowers. Best bet is Ivy's house but they don't come up every time. I'm thinking of gemming the tavern and focus on upgrading conservatory and theatre to level 6. This game is definitely a test of one's patience!

Glimmeregg Chick
Pink Chicken
Purple Cow
Sir Pigglesworth
Turkey Chicken
Turkey Pig
Turkey Sheep

I thought I'd try my more "unusual" animals to see if they'd work. I didn't get a chance to test Sir Hamlet, but I'm betting he works, too.

[FlowerBurst]

Same frustration here... I have not received dew from flowers in over a month! After hundreds of attempts, I gave up trying and currently rely on Ivy. I am confused because the info on the Spellbound Dew card clearly states that it can be obtained by harvesting flowers.

I don't want to sound negative, I'm just waiting to see how this all works. I'm a little skeptical at this point. But I'll go along with it--for now. I'll try to think positive.

My second set of deliveries includes 60 feral magic. I've been maxed out on them for a while, thanks to monster hunts, but it will be hard to replace them. I'm wondering about using what appears to be a refresh button in the upper right corner of the square. Has anyone tried to do a refresh? How long before the next item comes in?

Edit - never mind. I decided to try to refresh. The refresh option costs 20 gems for 1 item! So I delivered the feral magic. I got 5 silver and 9 bronze runes.

I'm afraid to start the new update until I complete the parrot quest. We have to uninstall and reinstall castle story to unlock it. Has anyone already done it while awaiting chapter 10 and did you have any issues?

Same here - doesn't seemed to be timed so I think I might wait

[KEC09]

How / where do you make boosts?

[CeceYumYummy]

One other thing does anyone know what the building is that you need to expand to that is in the very low bottom of our castle?- I have visited so many of my level 50 neighbours but no one has expanded here yet - don't know how to add pictures sorry!

[cyndora]

Spiritwind/Devs, will we at a sooner then later date be able to move this building around? i love the building and the flight animation of the sparrow , really good job! but i would like to redecorate to accommodate the new residents. and my juices are flowing on design ideas but the stationary building is like a radiator heater in the wrong spot.....designers nightmare! lol

[olcastle]

I'm afraid to start the new update until I complete the parrot quest. We have to uninstall and reinstall castle story to unlock it. Has anyone already done it while awaiting chapter 10 and did you have any issues?

I updated the game and my parrot quest wasn't affected. I'm on Chapter 7.
I already hate this update though... just exchanged 66 Mysterious Venoms plus other stuff for some Bronze runes.

[PrincessCupOButter]

I'm not there yet, but I'm thinking that ability is unlocked as we progress in the quest.

No one knows except S8, and they're not telling :( It is not possible to expand there yet, but it's been the object of much speculation here on the forums.

I was able to update my game with no issues, and did not have to uninstall and reinstall to update. Pirate storybook was not affected in any way.

This addon feels like the port in that City game they were flogging this summer. You fill orders for a cruise ship in that game and get tickets you can use to buy special buildings. The first few orders were easy but got increasingly difficult, however, they were always doable in a day if you did nothing else as the resources to make them were free and readily available. Plus you knew you were getting a certain amount of tickets for each order. 60 golden eggs and 20 golden nuggets aren't collectable in a day and neither the number nor type of runes seem to be guaranteed.

So far I'm not impressed ��

Same here. I like the update but not the rare chances of getting gold and silver runes. I've depleted quite a lot of my inventory and spent gems speeding up the summoning and all I have are bronze runes and a few silver ones. If Storm8 wants us to spend money buying gems to speed up summoning to get the rainbow alicorns, they should at least increase the chances of silver and gold runes because if the chances are so low, most players will just not bother with the deliveries. :(

I love the idea of using up inventory and if the items needed were craftable and/or from resources that have guaranteed drops I'd be all over this, rare chance of gold runes or not. This set up though seems just.... lets say infuriating to keep things PC ;)

Where do you get new building

[riverly]

The building is already on your game. If you click on the expand button and then click on that plot, the requirements to open the expansion shows up and if I remember correctly a dialogue starts up concerning the new update.

[Sandybellee]

Just upgrading a tavern to level 6 is going to take ages. Not too bothered though because if it's like the thing in Farm Story 2 I probably won't be getting any gold tokens anyway.

They are rare and it doesn't seem the deliveries have any effect on likliness. Hard obtained inventory doesn't appear to increase drop rate

[zoroak]

I currently have a delivery for 42 adamants, not happening especially since I'm down to about 30 glimmer shards and can only forge 1! It's not about what's already in my inventory, it's the amount of time required to replace what is sent off for deliveries. Not as bad as 60 golden eggs or 20 nuggets but the game developers need to be realistic about what people are willing to trade for a super rare chance of gold runes, otherwise this building will be yet another white elephant.

I'm hoping the elven reliquary will allow trade of elvenite for runes, gold ones especially! As it is, the new apothecary has not been used as I'm keeping the hard earned runes.

Well, they wouldn't spend all that time on this update for nothing. I wasn't sceptical....I knew it would turn out more difficult than it seems because of the way these games have been changing. Some ppl will spend gems on this and some won't or can't. That's the way it is now. I have cut down my spending on all the S8 games I play. I now don't HAVE to have everything that is available, especially if I feel the way to get it is very unfair. I will just enjoy what I can until I no longer enjoy it. I refuse to get stressed or frustrated anymore... although....trying not to be frustrated is frustrating at times hahaa

So far the reliquary only crafts two things. Uses elvenite and other materials.

Edit. Other items added. No runes yet but new items

[kattkrazie]

Thank you and at what point do the boosts appear? Is it after communing with clouds?


So sorry, but don't remember when I was prompted to purchase the apothecary for crafting boosts. It sat unattended for a long time because I needed silver runes and had none since I had used them all on decorations. (BTW, it's a better strategy to hoard the runes until you see what you'll need to progress in the goals.)

[janddolphins]

I haven't opened up the trades yet so not sure how they are designed, but being that there are some trades we may not be able to do I hope, or else a suggestion to S8 would be for the trade to be like the marketplace trade and after 24 hours if we don't do it, it will expire and a new trade appears. Crossing my fingers at least this is how it's set up, otherwise every player will reach a standstill eventually as I won't and I know many won't keep hitting refresh for 20 gems over and over.

Otherwise taking it slow with this event until I finish with my parrot. Hope others are able to enjoy it. I too must admit I would love a few rainbow Ali's so I hope they don't make it impossible.

I was prompted to purchase the apothecary when I sent my 4th trade. I got 5 silver runes and some bronze for sending it, and another 5 silver and 10 bronze for buying the apothecary (which cost 8 bronze).
After purchasing, it immediately prompted me to craft the workshop boost, which I haven't done yet, because I really want to hoard those runes! Lol
But I have a feeling I won't get the next featured goal until I craft a boost I don't really want right now. :(

Also, something is up with that little elf....I think he's hiding something. :eek:

You are correct you can't move on til you do a boost, there is one boost that only takes bronze ruins, I didn't figure that out until after I made the workshop one. Which increases the speed of timer for 3 hours. I think the increasing the timer on crops is the only bronze one.
I have no quest in regards to the apothecary but I also have my boost working.

My delivery is asking for 65 golden apples! Now as I am a long term player I actually have them but there is no way in the world I would trade them. I have been furiously trying to collect them as a private goal. I still only have 95 so I really don't know how an ordinary lower lever player would have a chance. I have also done about 4 trades and no gold - bronze and a few silver but that is all. This new outpost is making the Baron's tent seem generous!:eek:

Yikes! What was S8 thinking! It's crazy being asked to give up such a huge quantity of an item that is very, very, very hard to replace.

And to think I was annoyed at giving up 60 sugar -which is a fair amount of energy to replace but at least it's predictable. My 60 feral magic will be a long term project to replace. It took 5 dire boars to get 1 today. I had to give 37 silver this morning and already have more silver shown as being part of my next delivery.

I think this might end up being more frustrating than fun, which is really a shame. This update had a lot of promise. It's reminding my of those very demanding balloon deliveries in FS2 which were part of the reason I gave up playing that game.

If this one works like the dream city game I played for the gems, we can let the trade request expire, and get a new/different one the next day.
I certainly hope so, because there is no way I'm trading 65 golden apples! Or skipping it with gems. The Keebler elves will end up sitting idle. :rolleyes: I only have 54 apples after playing for 2 1/2 years AND buying the golden mine while it was in the market.
For 65 golden ANYTHING, I'd expect enough runes to get the rainbow Ali :cool: and from what I'm seeing, the return just isn't that good.

[riverly]

The rainbow Ali would have to poop golden apples. I know, I know delete.

[ktorewqas]

I just hand over 75 tomatoes this morning(of course not comparable with golden nuggets, apple or eggs). So what's the deal with the large quantity things and get back no gold rune :(

[kdgulle]

The rainbow Ali would have to poop golden apples. I know, I know delete.

A rainbow pot from the back of the card

[Stymie52]

I am trying to have a positive outlook about the eleven outpost. However, I don't know how long it will last. After three trades, it seems that the top left trade is always the large one. I gave away 66 seaweeds and other things which are easy enough to replace. My next top left trade is golden apples of a yet unknown quantity. I have 20 golden apples, but I do not want to part with them. I have worked hard to amass my inventory (never knew I was a hoarder), and I don't want to deplete my resources. I guess time will tell as we get further along.

[riverly]

A rainbow pot from the back of the cardclose, but not quite what I meant.

[chewingthecud]

Hi all - yes I won't even consider trading the golden apples. I am now just waiting to see if the trade resets tomorrow as in other games. I suspect so - there is really no other option. I suppose it is just a matter of picking your trades and waiting for them. I do though hope they recalibrate the gold rune drop rate. I don't think anyone has yet posted that they actually got one!:rolleyes:

[kattkrazie]

If the outpost is like the train deliveries in Farm Story 2, rather than getting a new list of items, the ones you have in inventory and have clicked to deliver will probably be sent out in the time showing and the bird will return in 4 hrs. I'm betting when the partial delivery is dispatched, we'll probably be paid a few runes for it as well. So strange that S8 hasn't given us any information about this stuff. Having to guess is a little unnerving.

As far as hoarding runes, I have 118 bronze runes, so at least the cap is higher than 99.

After you finish A Turbulent Totem, all the goals are done and we are left to our own devices, it appears.

[kdgulle]

close, but not quite what I meant.

I know ;)

[jopik]

Wow, is that a mistake if the delivery asks for 53 purple hides??!!!

I think it is going to work more like the Farmers Market than the Train Station, the Farmers market is also RANDOM with high quantities not yeilding higher value runes. I would be careful about the part loading, havent tried it yet. A lot of players quit farm story over that Farmers Market, it is very unfair. I just did a trade for 50 sap, 65 hot peppers and 60 strawberries and i got 9 bronze runes, bored with it now :(

Edit to add there were also three other items but with smaller quantities

[meme1098]

Wow! :eek: I've been out-of-pocket all day & I come back to hear about all these ridiculous trades requiring exorbitant amount of supplies for little return :confused:
When your limit on an item is 99 & a trade requires nearly from half to 2/3 of that amount & then considering the time & effort required to replace it, I doubt I'll be doing many of those trades.

[federerGOAT]

I have sped up 5 times and completed trades of masses of materials and have a HUGE (����) stash of ........ Wait for it......... 3 gold runes.

Should count yourself lucky.
I've done heaps of trade and yet to get any gold runes.

Not complaining though - it's a long term thing. This just gives me someting to do in between events since I've completed the main story line.

[cyndora]

did anyone do a trade that was not totally complete? instead of filling all orders you left some blank, did you still get runes from the trade?

some of the things like others have mentioned , are kinda.....high. and when they are rare makes it even worse. i really want to use some resources up and this is a great idea, but can it be modified or tweeked a tad?

suggestion on this delivery service thing.
can we see how many runes we would receive PER trade? ( not doing all 6 trades, but per box checked ) maybe have a box that says, you will receive 6 bronze for clicking this box, and so forth? does that make any sense? that way we can decide if its worth doing and maybe doing some planning. or replenishing lol

Well, after reading the posts here I guess I've been doing the trades wrong. I've done 3 trades now. Each time I would hit the "deliver" button under each individual item. Nothing happened until I hit deliver on all 6 items. I did not get any runes until all six items were checked off. So I don't think it's possible to do partial trades. At least that was my experience. I didn't realize that I could just hit the "deliver" on the right hand side. I wish there were more detailed instructions on how exactly to do this.

[rmmorey]

do we have to make the tavern with level 6 or can we skip with the 20 gems and still count ??

I think it has to do partial deliveries. If you check off 5 items, but don't have enough of the 6th item, you have 18 hrs. to try to collect the 6th item before Nadina leaves. If you don't collect enough of the 6th item, the 5 items get sent off at the designated time. I don't see any other way for it to work.
