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!).

5. The ability to find warm rocks and frost shards and to make the warming potion and the frost swords comes and goes. Be careful not to chop between chapters as NO ITEMS WILL DROP OR CAN BE CRAFTED.



So how much do I need?
Trees: 6 Yellow Acers | 7 Red Acers
Warming potions (3 warm stones, 10 hot peppers, 10 water): ch1x1; ch3x2; ch4x2; ch5x1; ch6x1; ch7x1; ch9x2; ch10x8 = 18

Frost swords (4 frost shards, 20 iron ore): ch1x1, ch3x2; ch4x2; ch7x1; ch10x8 = 14

Journey to the Snowy Mountains - 2 warming potions, 2 frost swords, 5 fur
Journey to the Frozen Forest - 1 warming potion, 1 frost sword, 1 simple feast



A blizzard has swooped into our kingdom without warning! It is completely unprecedented! I cannot find any similar incidents in my scrolls. We must look into this!
Chapter 1:
Goal 1 Collect warm stones 0/3 GO (skip 75 gems) | collect from rock outcropping
Goal 2 Brew a warming potion 0/1 GO (skip 75 gems) Potion Shop, 1 hour - 3 warm stones, 10 hot peppers, 10 water (speed up is 4 gems)
Goal 3 Collect frost shards for a magical sword 0/2 GO (skip 30 gems) | collect from ponds only
Goal 4 Forge a frost sword 0/1 GO (skip 45 gems) | Workshop, 2 hours - 4 frost shards, 20 iron ore
Goal 5 Journey to the frozen forest 0/1 GO (skip 20 gems) | Castle, 2 hours - 1 warming potion, 1 frost sword, 1 simple feast
Notes: The reward from completing each goal is 1 Ice Path


I think the best thing we can do is gather as many supplies as possible before the storm gets too out of hand!
Chapter 2:
Goal 1 Visit the well 0/1 VISIT (skip 10 gems) | reward: mermaid scales
Goal 2 Donate grits 0/3 GIVE (skip 15 gems) | reward: bacon
Goal 3 Harvest wheat 0/20 GO (skip 20 gems) | reward: fertilizer


I have been researching more into the storm, and it appears to be of unnatural origins, possibly from the snowy mountains! I suggest traveling there and looking into this mystery!
Chapter 3: ***GET RID OF ANY MONSTERS ON YOUR BOARD FOR GOAL 3 TO WORK***
Goal 1 Clear iron rich rocks 0/3 GO (skip 30 gems) | reward - Jewel
Goal 2 Journey to the Snowy Mountains 0/1 GO (skip 40 gems) | Castle, 3 hours - 2 warming potions, 2 frost swords, 5 fur | reward: silver ore + BOX DROP of 1 bear bait to place on your board. GET RID OF ANY MONSTERS FIRST.
Goal 3 Say hi to the lonely polar bear 0/1 | Find Polar Bear Bait in Snowy Mountains or your storage.
Goal 4 Defeat Yerik Bearson 0/1 GO | reward: Snowy Wall

After the adventure, I found a plate with something to eat. It looks like a roast !! Goal 3 (from chapter 3) says "Go". When you go, it brings you to the plate. You tap on it. The plate disappears, and the YB appears !
You need to fight 50 times, and then, chapter 3 is finished.
Important : I didn't have any monster when I tapped on the finished adventure !

My advice is to keep collecting and making potions and swords as long as possible before collecting the adventure and defeating yb. Also, make sure you have no monsters on the board before tapping the bear bait!!


That is so odd that all we found in the mountains was that angry polar bear. Maybe the storm is coming from the Frozen Forest?
Chapter 4:
Goal 1 Chop red acer trees 0/2 GO (skip | reward: living wood You need to clear the trees for the goal to complete.
Goal 2 Journey to the frozen forest 0/2 GO (skip 40 gems) | Castle, 2 hours - 1 warming potion, 1 frost sword, 1 simple feast | reward: sap
Goal 3 Defeat polar bearlings 0/5 | reward: creep tooth


Citizens have been complaining of bears drinking the taverns dry! Why have those feisty polar bears followed us back to the kingdom? Go check it out!
Chapter 5: ***GET RID OF ANY MONSTERS ON YOUR BOARD FOR GOAL 2 TO WORK***
Goal 1 Refill the Tavern Brew 0/1 GO (skip 100 gems) | Kitchen, 2 hours - 1 warming potion, 3 wheat, 3 water (speed up is 8 gems) | reward: water
Goal 2 Visit a tavern 0/1 VISIT (skip 10 gems) | clicking at the tavern spawns Yerik. Then you have to fight it with 90 energy | reward: simple feast
Goal 3 Defeat enraged Yerik Bearson 0/1 GO (skip 20 gems) | reward: fur


This storm is only getting worse, and there must be a reason that the bears are here! I want to meet with their leader, Yerik Bearson, and get to the bottom of this!
Chapter 6:
Goal 1 Chop Yellow Acer Trees 0/6 GO (skip 60 gems) | reward: living wood clear 6 trees, not 6 chops
Goal 2 Craft an Ever-Hearth 0/1 GO | Workshop, 2 hours - 1 warming potion, 50 wood, 25 stone | reward: 2 chestnuts (you can make another while it's crafting if you want to...)
Goal 3 Cook Hearty Feasts 0/1 | reward: flour | The ones in inventory DO count, so you can make this in advance.
Goal 4 Visit Ivy's Hut 0/1 | reward:
Note: the Ever-Hearth is decorative


Apparently Yerik and his bears are out of work and just sleep the days away! Let us help them get back on their feet! I hear Yerik is a master carpenter! A bear carpenter! Amazing!
Chapter 7:
Goal 1 Journey to the Frozen Forest 0/1 | reward: faerie jar
Goal 2 Carve a Wooden Sled 0/1 GO | Workshop, 30 minutes - 50 wood, 5 simple glue | reward: chestnuts (you can make another while it's crafting if you want to...)
Goal 3 Train Polar Bearlings 0/10 GO (skip 100 gems) | reward: snow gate


Citizens can barely get around in the snow now, and Yerik wants to help more! With enough sleighs and sleds, we should be able to traverse the snowy kingdom easily!
Chapter 8:
Goal 1 Chop Red Acer Trees 0/5 GO | reward: glimmerbulb
Goal 2 Carve a red sleigh 0/1 | Workshop, 1 hour - 5 super glue, 50 wood, 4 red dye
Goal 3 Train Polar Bearlings 0/10 | reward: fish


Yerik told me he was going to nap after finishing that sleigh, and ever since the storm has been completely out of control! I think we might have finally cracked the case of this mysterious storm!
Chapter 9: ***GET RID OF ANY MONSTERS ON YOUR BOARD FOR GOAL 2 TO WORK***
Goal 1 Clear Iron Rich Rocks 0/10 GO (skip 100 gems) | reward: mithril
Goal 2 Wake up Yerik Bearson 0/1 GO (skip 20 gems) 99 hits | reward: 5 red peppers
Goal 3 Craft Warming Potion 0/2 GO (skip 150 gems) | reward: chestnuts | you can prepare these in advance and wait till this goal comes up as it is the collecting that completes the goal
Goal 4 Ask for Gifts 0/20 | reward: 1 warm stone
Note: On goal 3, you will need to CRAFT the warming potion; the ones in inventory do NOT count toward this goal but can be used later for the adventures, so they don't go to waste.


I cannot believe that Yerik's cursed sleep was causing the storm all along! He is ever so grateful for our healing potions and wanted to make you something as a thank you!
Chapter 10:
Goal 1 Purchase Holiday Uniform 0/1 GO | Market, 0 coin - decoration (goal will auto complete if you hit GO) | reward: holiday uniform
Goal 2 Carve a Nutcracker 0/1 GO | Workshop, 30 minutes - 1 Holiday Uniform, 30 living wood, 30 white petals | reward: chestnuts (if you want a second one, you can purchase an additional uniform for 10 gems in the workshop, but you must do it before you collect the first craft)
Goal 3 Journey to Snowy Mountains 0/4 GO (skip 160 gems) - 3 HOUR ADVENTURES!| reward: After you collect the 4th adventure, Yerik Bearson is in your inventory.

The Grand Prize is yours!

Dialogue to complete the goal:
Ivy: Yerik tells me that he'd love to stay in our kingdom! We should go visit him and tell him we'd love to have him here! I can't wait to see more of his carpentry work!
Ruler: Me either! What a wonderful addition to our family!
Ivy: Let's go celebrate with Yerik since he's decided to stay in the kingdom!
Yerik! Yerik! He's Our Bear!
* Say hi to Yerik 0/1 (skip 10 gems)
Reward: 1000 coin, 10 xp
Ivy: He's so fluffy!

So excited for this one! :D

Yerik Bearson is so Iorek Byrnison!! :cool:
The armoured polar bear from "Northern Lights" (aka "The Golden Compass" US) / "His Dark Materials" trilogy!
Absolutely one of the best stories ever!! (disregard the film version :rolleyes: ha)

Bravo Storm8!

Can't wait to welcome him to my kingdom!
Hopefully the quests won't be too gruelling.

Only a few hours left to wait... :eek:

Someone should start a thread for the goalbook quest for the Reindeer since it's separate. And the same dismal spawn rate again just like the raccoon & fawn. Be sure there are no other monsters on your game board! What's the deal with all the animals all of a sudden????

[vontalken]

Polar Bearlings - 20 hit points
drop ~2 chestnuts on success

[ashley224]

8 farmhouses gave me 4 polar bears, one of them dropped 5 chestnuts rather than 2. Averaged 10-15 net energies to battle.

[Guardian452]

Okay, so when I checked my inventory, the chestnut info card said max is 99. I assume this is a bug that will be fixed soon.

[dragomaz]

goal 4 of 5 in chapter 1 is forge a frost sword thats what im on so dont remember the others

think the first was collect 3 hot shards

the second was brew a warming potion

3rd was collect the shards for sword

4th forge sword

will let you know in 2 hours the next step thats how long the sword will take

[meme1098]

Okay, so when I checked my inventory, the chestnut info card said max is 99. I assume this is a bug that will be fixed soon.

Ah, yea. It's takes 125 to craft the reindeer...hello S8!

I started a bug thread for this.

[missharleyO3]

Cool... obtain @least 8-10 chestnuts a day for 13 days is enough for one reindeer! Definitely do-able since farmhouse collection time is only 10mins. Looks like everyone will get a pretty reindeer (or multiples) this event! Yay! Super excited!

[ashley224]

Sometimes the polar bears only drop 1 chestnut., so far options are 1, 2, or 5 chestnuts, usually 2

[ashley224]

Cool... obtain @least 8-10 chestnuts a day for 13 days is enough for one reindeer! Definitely do-able since farmhouse collection time is only 10mins. Looks like everyone will get a pretty reindeer (or multiples) this event! Yay! Super excited!

The limiting factor will be energy again.

[Nekohoshi]

3. Collect ice from ponds
4. Forge a frost sword

[tigarlilyvol]

goal 4 of 5 in chapter 1 is forge a frost sword thats what im on so dont remember the others

think the first was collect 3 hot shards

the second was brew a warming potion

3rd was collect the shards for sword

4th forge sword

will let you know in 2 hours the next step thats how long the sword will take

Collect frost shards need two found in ponds to complete goal.
Forge frost sword takes 4 frost shards and 20 iron in workshop. Takes 2 hrs.

[Nekohoshi]

5. Journey to the frozen forest
1 warming potion 1 frost sword and 1 simple feast it's a 2 hour adventure

[vontalken]

Updated results

10 bears defeated => 19 chestnuts => 120 energy used => +11 from time, -12 farmhouse clicks, -2 alicorn clicks, and -117 dueling.

[Nekohoshi]

Here is my 2 cents about low energy we're gonna be collect from ponds so fish so have a few pigs and chickens available so you can load up for the extra 10 energy from trading

[missharleyO3]

Sadly true. Wats worse is that i forgot about the other goal wen i posted tat message. Guess i got too excited too soon. 😳

[Gaillock]

I live in CA so already started both! In Come all ye Reindeer, the first farmhouse I clicked on, the polar bear appeared. Takes 20 strokes, but I left a few to chop some rocks in the Beary Scary Blizzard so as not to attract a different beast. I got all 3 warming stones with 10 chops and took me to potion shop to brew a warming potion, which is Goal 2 of Chapter 1. Oh & I got 1 ice path in my inventory. Off to slay another polar bear in other quest while potion is brewing! I have now battled 2 Polaris bears. One gave me 4 energy back while battling and the second only 2. Both gave me 2 chestnuts each.

[Gaillock]

Do wells count for ponds?

[ashley224]

Can now store 200 chestnuts.

[farmgirl8888]

Apparently there is a limit on the Ice Paths. Tried to replace all my paths in my kingdom and got the message that I would have to upgrade to get more of this type of structure . . . Is there something I can sell to get more?

[undead30k]

The event says it's only 9 days remaining!!!! Not expiring on the 15th as the headline here suggests... please update

[nonzorr]

Today I noticed the new Ice Path and Snow Wall under the featured tab in the market.
I got really excited to be able to make my kingdom look like winter with walls and paths, instead of only using deco (which I usually don't take out of storage because of lack of space)

So I replaced all my floral topiary walls with snow walls, and started to replace my white royal road with ice road, only to get really disappointed when after replacing 99 of them I got the message I was at my maximum.. I didn't even replace half of the roads I have in my kingdom.

I really don't understand why there is a cap of 99 on roads! This way it's impossible to use the same type of road throughout your kingdom...

[ladyknightkeladry]

The event says it's only 9 days remaining!!!! Not expiring on the 15th as the headline here suggests... please update

It's a storybook event. Once you start, you have 10 days to complete the whole thing, but each chapter will only open up on the day you're on unless you use gems. For example, even if you finish chapter 1 today, you won't get chapter 2 until midnight PST. The same will go for chapter 3, etc. And even if you gem ahead to chapter 2 today, if you complete it, you'd still have to wait until chapter 3 would normally start for it to actually start.

For those who don't manually start the event, the event will start automatically in a couple days and everyone's event will will end on the 15th no matter what level of completion they're at.

[PrincessCupOButter]

Has anyone been able to collect warm stones after collecting the warming potion from the potion shop? I had enough to craft two, but after collecting the first potion, no more stones have dropped.

(I think I answered my own question...the potion is gone from the shop. I imagine there will have to be more adventures though.....built in speed bump I suppose.)

I'm still getting frost shards from the ponds, but the sword is still crafting at the moment. I'm wondering if this is like previous storybooks where the drops stop between chapters, but we end up needing more later? I'm considering collecting shards until I'm ready to sleep, then I'll collect the sword and send off the adventure....that way it'll be ready to collect first thing and I can start chapter two with a small head start on shards, the drop rate is as they usually are....very low. Lol.

I'd like to chop stones for the ore too, but don't want to waste energy, if I'll need to chop more for warm stones later.

I can't be certain if they stop dropping or just have a low drop rate. But you should definitely collect as many as possible while you're sure they are dropping. You'll need 2 more warming potion and 2 frozen swords in Chapter 3. So chop, chop and tap, tap in advance.

Thanks Katt...the potion did disappear from the shop, :( so I assume they won't start dropping again until we need them. I did manage to make two potions and two swords though! Learning S8's tricks. Lol! And I'll keep collecting shards til bedtime.

I made 2 potions & am now crafting 2 swords. I've been collecting from ponds as often as possible while they're crafting.

PS: Oh, that darn bird!! Interrupting my tapping ponds just now!:mad: S8 please stop this madness!!!

I'm not collecting the sword until I'm ready for bed. The Knights can adventure while I sleep. And the polar bears are great at keeping the boars away while checking ponds. :D

As for that darn buzzard....I think it's time to dust off Thurston's catapult! Its bad enough that it takes far more than it gives, but to disrupt play in the process is totally uncalled for. S8 please make it stop!

[Nekohoshi]

The event says it's only 9 days remaining!!!! Not expiring on the 15th as the headline here suggests... please update

I'm guessing it automatically starts on the 5th or something and then we are given the usual 10 day limit

[Nekohoshi]

5. The quest drop chestnuts also so like usuall the mini quest and main quest will go slightly hand to hand

[comeseecomesah]

There was a app update in the App Store (IOS) yesterday, vs. 1.6.3

Thanks Meme, maybe it's different for Androids (me). I have the event without updating. My tab usually let's me know if I've had an auto update but nothing. Oh well, lucky I had a browse around forum. Thought usually events are on a Thursday so when I saw nothing I thought event would be next week.

[jbfps116]

I'm tempted to shoot for 2 reindeer (already have like 50 nuts) but I am worried it will steal valuable energy from the main event!

[ktorewqas]

I'm sure in some chapters, we will have to hunt bear ;) prove me wrong pls :)

[undead30k]

It's a storybook event. Once you start, you have 10 days to complete the whole thing, but each chapter will only open up on the day you're on unless you use gems. For example, even if you finish chapter 1 today, you won't get chapter 2 until midnight PST. The same will go for chapter 3, etc. And even if you gem ahead to chapter 2 today, if you complete it, you'd still have to wait until chapter 3 would normally start for it to actually start.

For those who don't manually start the event, the event will start automatically in a couple days and everyone's event will will end on the 15th no matter what level of completion they're at.

Thanks for your response. I feel bad that you typed all of that when I know how the storybook events work.. I just felt it should be more clear as to how many total days we get to complete the event for others who may not know. It just seemed misleading with the start date and end date. But thank you for your explanation!!

[SpiritWind00]

I've started writing up goals, and will be back later to finish...

2 sets of goal - 1 storybook; 1 goal book related. (I know you know this! :))

[gilachaya]

Chapter 3

Goal 1: Clear iron rich rocks (0/3)
Goal 2: Journey to the Snowy Mountains. (2 warming potions, 2 frost swords, 5 fur)

[ashley224]

Apparently there is a limit on the Ice Paths. Tried to replace all my paths in my kingdom and got the message that I would have to upgrade to get more of this type of structure . . . Is there something I can sell to get more?

I'm guessing but you might try selling a different type of path?

[kattkrazie]

Chapter 2:
I think the best thing we can do is gather as many supplies as possible before the storm gets too out of hand!

Goal 1: Visit the well (gather water). 0/1
Goal Prize - Mermaid Scale

Goal 2: Donate Grits 0/3
Give (The ones in inventory DO count.)
Goal Prize - Bacon

Goal 3: Harvest wheat 0/20
(So that we can make bread.) Go
Wheat in inventory does NOT count since you have to "harvest".
Goal Prize - Fertilizer

[kattkrazie]

Chapter 3:
I have been researching more into the storm, and it appears to be of unnatural origins, possibly from the snowy mountains! I suggest traveling there and looking into this mystery!

Goal 1: Clear iron rich rocks (0/3)
(These boulders are blocking our way!)
Goal Prize - Jewel

Goal 2: Journey to the Snowy Mountains 0/1
(Adventure - 1 warming potion, 2 frozen swords, 5 fur - takes 3 hrs.)
Prize - Silver Ore

Goal 3: Say hi to the lonely polar bear. 0/1
(Find Polar Bear Bait in Snowy Mountains or your storage)

Goal 4: Defeat Yerik Bearson (Look Out! A Polar Bear!)
Go
(Adventure to Snowy Mountains)
Goal Prize - Snowy Wall

[kattkrazie]

Chapter 4:
That is so odd that all we found in the mountains was that angry polar bear. Maybe the storm is coming from the Frozen Forest?

Goal 1: Chop red acer trees 0/2
(These trees are frozen solid)
Goal Prize - living wood

Goal 2: Journey to the Frozen Forest 0/2
(The storm is strong here too!)
Goal Prize - Sap

Goal 3: Defeat polar bearlings 0/5
(Bears are sleeping at the farmhouse!)
Prize - Creep Tooth

[coolssp]

10 chestnuts from 5 polar bears and clearing 6 cottages :)

[coolssp]

Do mermaid ponds count? Otherwise need to take some from inventory :)

My mermaid ponds haven't given me anything related to this event. I've been sticking to the regular ponds since they recharge quickly.

Journey to Frozen Forest

Thanks!i can't give a definite answer, but a lot of players are still collecting shards while their swords are crafting under the assumption that the shards quit dropping after collecting the swords. I am doing the same thing-because I need to send my adventure off before I go to sleep and I'm trying to stay awake until my swords are done. Need Sleep!!!!

The reindeer is a stag with a jingle bell collar. He does have different drops, though. He has dropped bones and fertilizer so far. I'm thinking one will be enough. Lol.

8 farmhouses gave me 4 polar bears

They come from the farmhouses? Only when you 'harvest' them or what? What do you have to do to make them come?
Asking because I only had 1 polar bear sofar, inspite of having 2 farmhouses, and no other beasts are around.
Please give me a tip. :)

[ashley224]

All I did was collect the farm house got polar bear half the time. How many times have you collected?

[ninjalejones]

The polar bears are spawning faster than my energy regenerates. I dragged out a few extra farmhouses last night and then just put them right back into storage after a couple of collections since there's only a 10 min collection time on them.

[ashley224]

Have collected from reindeer twice, both collections gave milk, bone, and glimmerdust.

[PrincessCelestian]

You just collect from your farmhouses, usually people have at least 4 it's easier to spawn

but for those that need the chestnuts and don't have a deer yet continue collecting from farmhouses.

How many times have you collected?

Well, 2 stables, and I collected each 3 times since the start of the event... only once a beast came out. :(
At this rate I will never make it and oooh I wanted that Rudolf so badly.
anyways thank you Ashley :)

[ninjalejones]

The polar bears spawn from farmhouses, not stables. Plus they are cheap to make so maybe add a few more to increase your chances :)

I suggest, if you can, build a couple more farmhouses, they take minimal materials. Make sure you are collecting from farmhouses, not stables. Stable collection was the last event.

Make Yerik Bearson 2x1
We don't have the space for 2x2!
2x2 is far too big for an animal!

(Also the shadow on the animation is too low and gives the appearance YB is floating, might need to tinker with that too.)

So I made 2 warming potions and my second one didn't count!!! It's nowhere in my inventory. I am also making 2 swords. I hope the same thing doesn't happen. Very uncool S8!!!

As always, thanks so much to those who are speeding up to let us know what is ahead! Does anyone know in chapter 3 when we can start crafting the magic sword while we are collecting from the iron rich rocks? Or does that not open until after? Trying to decide how much iron to stock up before chapter 3 starts.
So glad to have the all of the info in the forum!

Chapter 5:
Citizens have been complaining of bears drinking the taverns dry! Why have those feisty polar bears followed us back to the kingdom? Go check it out!

This is done in the kitchen - 1 warming potion, 3 wheat, 3 water. Takes 2 hrs.
Goal Prize - Water

Goal 2: Visit a tavern. 0/1
(Why are polar bears here?)
Goal Prize - Simple Feast

Goal 3: Defeat enraged Yerik Bearson. 0/1
(The brew seems to have made Yerik stronger.)
Goal Prize - Fur

Goal 3 was a little confusing. When I clicked on "Go", it took me to the market to buy Enraged Yerik Bearson for 0 coins. However, I already had a polar bear on the board at the farmhouse. So the option to buy went away, but I didn't have Yerik to fight. So I skipped it for 20 gems. Just make sure you don't have a beast spawned on your board and you shouldn't have any problem.

[kattkrazie]

Chapter 6:
This storm is only getting worse, and there must be a reason that the bears are here! I want to meet with their leader, Yerik Bearson, and get to the bottom of this!

Goal 1: Chop Yellow Acer Trees 0/6
(For wood for the fire!) Go
Goal Prize - Living Wood

Goal 2: Craft an Ever-Hearth 0/1
(Let's chat around the fire.) Go
Needs 1 warming potion, 50 wood, 25 stone. Takes 2 hrs.
Goal Prize - 2 chestnuts

Goal 3: Cook Hearty Feasts 0/1
The ones in inventory DO count, so you can make this in advance.
Goal Prize - Flour

Goal 4: Visit Ivy's Hut 0/1
(Ivy wants to host!) Visit

The Ever-Hearth is a deco only, no drops.

[kattkrazie]

Chapter 7:
Apparently Yerik and his bears are out of work and just sleep the days away! Let us help them get back on their feet! I hear Yerik is a master carpenter! A bear carpenter! Amazing!

Goal 1: Journey to the Frozen Forest 0/1
(Gather wood for Yerik) Go
Goal Prize - Faerie Jar

Goal 2: Carve a Wooden Sled 0/1
(Should help with this snow problem!) Go
This is done in the workshop - 50 wood, 5 simple glue - takes 30 minutes.
Goal Prize - Chestnuts

Goal 3: Train Polar Bearlings 0/10
(They offered to pull the sleds!) Go
Goal Prize - Snow Gate

[kattkrazie]

Chapter 8:
Citizens can barely get around in the snow now, and Yerik wants to help more! With enough sleighs and sleds, we should be able to traverse the snowy kingdom easily!

Goal 1: Chop Red Acer Trees 0/5
(Such a lovely color.) Go
Goal Prize - a glimmerbulb

[kattkrazie]

Chapter 9:
Yerik told me he was going to nap after finishing that sleigh, and ever since the storm has been completely out of control! I think we might have finally cracked the case of this mysterious storm!

(Wake Yerik with loud noises!) Go

Goal 2: Wake up Yerik Bearson 0/1
(He's asleep at the tavern!) Go

(Yerik is snoring a snowstorm! Let's cure him!) Go
Goal Prize - Chestnuts

Goal 4: Ask for Gifts 0/20
(Get well gifts for Yerik!) (20 neighbor requests)
Goal Prize - 1 warm stone

On goal 3, you will need to CRAFT the warming potion, the ones in inventory did NOT count toward this goal but I used them later for the adventures, so they don't go to waste.

[Zirilka]

O why acer trees not something else. I have gazillion trees on my board just waiting to be chopped for the quest.

[kattkrazie]

Chapter 10:
I cannot believe that Yerik's cursed sleep was causing the storm all along! He is ever so grateful for our healing potions and wanted to make you something as a thank you!

Goal 1: Purchase Holiday Uniform 0/1
(What luxurious fabrics!) Buy
This takes you to the market where you "buy" for 0 coins.

Chapter 5 ... Chapter 10

You're amazing Kat!! :cool:
Thanks so much!! :o

[kattkrazie]

Your best use of energy in the earlier chapters is to chop rocks and tap ponds while the shards and warm stones are dropping. Don't waste energy fighting the polar bears since you will need to fight 20 polar bears in the later chapters which will probably guarantee everyone a reindeer.

All of the items you craft will be deco, no drops.

Old Acer Trees work just fine so no need to grow new ones if you already have old ones on your board. Some of mine just had one chop left on them and they counted. Be sure to keep growing red peppers between chapters since they take so long to grow.

Good luck. This seems like a very doable event.

[ShibuyaCloth]

Yerik is only 1x1 like the other animals. He just looks larger.

He does look like he's floating. I hadn't noticed that before.

What is the timer of this biggy?

[kattkrazie]

What is the timer of this biggy?

He has a 5 hr. timer. His first drop was rat tail, silver, and jewels.

[BufftonHeights]

Thanks for leading our polar expedition Katt! This seems like a really nice quest. I love that we get to craft our deco, and that repetitive tasks lik chopping are not every single day. Thanks S8 for a doable one we can enjoy during this busy month.

I agree. It seems like a lot of thought was put into this quest. We chop trees because we need the wood later, we chop iron rich rocks because we need lots of iron. And even though it appears at first to be 2 events, they are definitely linked and work together.

Great job, S8.

[hatton2]

I have a question if I pay the gems to start the next chapter does that delay the one after that? I have to wait 13 hrs right now

[kattkrazie]

I have a question if I pay the gems to start the next chapter does that delay the one after that? I have to wait 13 hrs right now

Unfortunately, if you start a chapter early, you have to wait even longer for the next chapter to start. It's not beneficial to use gems to start a chapter early unless it's a difficult chapter that might require 2 days. None of these chapters were that difficult in my opinion.

In your case, if you use gems to start chapter 3 early, the timer will show 35 hrs. to start the next chapter.

[stargaze91]

I think the bear seems to be floating because his shadow is too small... while shadows extend beyond the feet for all animals, the bear has smaller shadow , which makes it look like it is above ground

[mayennalee]

Katt - thank you so much for what you do with completing these early.

[kattkrazie]

Yep. I agree. Thanks S8 for taking on board our feedback.

Katt - thank you so much for what you do with completing these early.

You're welcome. I've gemmed through everything since I started playing in 2011, but only started sharing the sneak peaks about 6-7 months ago. Better late than never, I suppose. Lol.

[hatton2]

Ok thanks ��

[ladyknightkeladry]

Okay so I did the math and figured out how many warming potions and frost swords you need in all.

You'll need 14 warming potions and 16 frost swords to complete the whole thing. However, if you're gonna complete them all at once, you should only have 12 warming potions made before chapter 9 bc that one actually requires you to make 2 as a goal.

That's 42 warm stones and 64 frost shards in all.

I figured it'd be helpful for those of us in the early chapters since they're not super energy intensive.

[MoonVillage3]

I guess when we got the genie lamp in the Sabina event someone shouldn't have wished for a million Bucks.
LOL

Started the event today, so the last day of this event will be on a free day. Wanted to wait longer but work will get in the way. Looks doable. Crafting the sword now, and collecting extra shards. Too late to collect more warming stone as I already collected the warming potion. Will need to keep a better eye on this thread.

[RevdKathy]

I see I'm not the only one who wondered about using venison to tame a flyger and a polar bear!

This looks doable, with many, many thanks to Katt. My only concern is the neighbour requests are on day 9 again. I might even get a reindeer. I missed out on all the autumn ones.

[tonyjosiah]

Can't start my adventure until 6 hours from now because my brain fog made me start one for some reason late last night. But it gave me a chance to focus on getting my FIRST Merry Reindeer! He looks great but at this point they're all decor for my kingdom. But at least now I have enough to pull Santa's sleigh. ;-) Hope they offer the star Stag in the tent this month. Then my collection will be complete. Best of luck to everyone! -Angel

[gogo0811]

I have completely stopped getting the shards from ponds. Do we get them only when the goal that needs them is ON? Same with the warm stones? also, the item disappears from my workshop so I can't make the swords or potions for the nest task in advance.
Can I not just collect the shards and stones while waiting for next chapter? Any info, hints, tips on that?

Your math is off. I'm not sure who's right about how many warming potions we need to journey to the snowy mountains (gilachaya says 2 but Katt says 1) but I'm going by katt's info. Anyway, you're missing the second trip to the snowy mountains in chapter 4 and the potions that need to be made in Chapters 5 and 9. And this one doesn't matter in the overall math but you also attributed the ones for chapter 3 to chapter 2.

Here was my math:


Chapter sword potion
1 1 1 (1 trip to the forest)
2 0 0
3 4 2 (2 trips to the snowy mountains)
4 2 2 (2 trips to the forest)
5 0 1 (1 potion to refill the tavern brew)
6 1 (1 potion to craft the ever-heath)
7 1 1 (1 trip the forest)
8 0 0
9 2 (brew 2 warming potions)
10 8 4 (4 trips to the snowy mountains)
16 14


So 16 swords, and 14 potions

If I remember correctly, the Frozen Forest adventure requires 1 of each and the Snowy Mountains adventure requires 2 of each. Hope this clears up the math calculations. One adventure required 20 gems to skip and the other required 40 gems.

6 trees not 6 chops.

I think mine also stopped, and the option to make swords and potions is gone. Haven't wanted to test that though and waste the energy. They should fall again when required.

[lmirul]

This quest seems really reasonable. I love how the math enthusiasts work it all out; makes it so much easier to plan ☺ Thank you! And a huge thanks to the Gemmers once again 💖

[SpiritWind00]

I've done some math and come up with something different to both of you! :) Let's just say, you need *lots!* :)

[caron7]

This quest seems really reasonable. I love how the math enthusiasts work it all out; makes it so much easier to plan ☺ Thank you! And a huge thanks to the Gemmers once again ��

I second that. Those keeping the first posts updated as well have made this feel busy but like something I can do. Especially at the holidays, the reasonable tasks and the helpful information are most appreciated. Kudos to you helpers!!

Question, if I do craft a reindeer, does the option stay to craft a second? I noticed the 99 limit is now 200, enough to save 100 x2 and craft simultaneously. Maybe I need to do that? Thank you.

[caron7]

Your best use of energy in the earlier chapters is to chop rocks and tap ponds while the shards and warm stones are dropping. Don't waste energy fighting the polar bears since you will need to fight 20 polar bears in the later chapters which will probably guarantee everyone a reindeer.

Katt, I was just about to post that you can chop several chops on your Acer trees ahead of time when you have extra energy so you just need a chop or two to fell them. But I see you already posted it. A good way to "store" energy for the future. :). Thanks for all your help!

[kattkrazie]

You're welcome! I needed to correct something on that post, so I'll just do it now. We have to fight 25 polar bears rather than 20. Which is good if you don't yet have your reindeer.

[PJBastian13]

While chopping trees part way will save you energy later when required to chop down the trees, keep in mind that we need 150 wood to complete this event. Chopping the 5 red acer trees in chapter 8 where it is required will help replenish your resources as well as complete the goal.

Can now store 200 chestnuts.


If anyone is interested in getting multiple raindeer, the option to craft remains after making the first one.

Already covered.

[riverly]

Ok, more math to ponder. If I have already done chapter 1, I will now need 51 warm stones and 52 frost shards. I think. Maybe. Possibly.
Anyway like was posted a lot!!

Actually I already made an extra sword so all I need is 48 shards. Anyway it's late. Time for little wine and a little sleep.

[AnisWa]

I'm confused. If this event just started on 12/2/16, how come some people are already up to chapter 5? It's my understanding that if you try to gem ahead a chapter, you end up waiting longer for the next to begin???? So, how can that be possible?

[jaymieb2]

Just bought and cleared my three iron rich rocks, and none of them counted. Force closing, now!

---
Yup, that fixed it, but the thought of having just wasted 24 energy was not relaxing at all! :-(

[coolssp]

Hey can we make the swords and potions while wait for the adventure?

[neverwhere88]

Yep me too didn't register the iron rich rocks, except had to try a few times to realise it didn't count. Argh

They don't bother to wait until the next day starts, those people just keep gemming ahead

Ok, can't have more than two potions :( I had one and crafted two more but only one registered :(

Can have more, limit is 99. Currently making #5 & #6

[RevdKathy]

Can I confirm the hot rocks only drop from outcrops? I have some stone piles to use up and wondered if it was worth it? Getting very short of energy on this - hot rocks only 1-3 per outcrop.

Thanks :)

[ktorewqas]

I chopped two iron rich rocks and got 0 hot rock so I think they only drop from outcrops

For me only Rock Outcropping seems to produce Warm Stones! All others are 0 hit so far.

I had only one adventure in chapter 3.

I had only one adventure in chapter 3.does it mean that defeating the yb is not a trip? When I click go, it pointed me to the trip lol guess that's great, two less to craft. Thank you!

[ktorewqas]

chp5 goal 3 needs to defeat a YB so I think we might need a trip to get a YB trap if we forgot to leave no monster on board ???

[kattkrazie]

does it mean that defeating the yb is not a trip? When I click go, it pointed me to the trip lol guess that's great, two less to craft. Thank you!

Yeah, this part was confusing to me. I didn't actually "defeat" Yerik since I gemmed through it. Not sure what that part was all about. Maybe if someone has done it without gems, they can clarify the steps a bit.

[Inachis2V]

After the adventure, I found a plate with something to eat. It looks like a roast !!
Goal 3 (from chapter 3) says "Go".
When you go, it brings you to the plate. You tap on it. The plate disappears, and the YB appears !
You need to fight 50 times, and then, chapter 3 is finished.

Important : I didn't have any monster when I tapped on the finished adventure !

[rulerofjennyville]

OK, I haven't played for awhile - I have in my goal book "my chicken sense is tingling", the reindeer challenge then I have the polar bear challenge. Is the chicken sense a timed christmas goal or can I ignore it for now?

That s the bait from the snowy mountain trip. I still have the YB on board because I want to craft few more swords and potion. What does the YB give? Thanks :o

[ktorewqas]

I mut be a low level 50 player, because my goals says only 1 trip :) I must be lucky! there is only one trip in chap 3 so your calculating is accurate. :) thank you!

My game pointed me to another trip therefore I thought we need 2 trips.

[PrincessCupOButter]

When you defeat the yb, you get one snow wall. The adventure disappears, as does the ability to craft swords and potions. So I'm not wasting energy to see if the drops remain, because I assume they are also gone again until the next adventure is needed. Thankfully I crafted some extras, and also collected enough materials to to craft a few more before collecting the adventure. I'm waiting for peppers to grow anyway.

My advice is to keep collecting and making potions and swords as long as possible before collecting the adventure and defeating yb. Also, make sure you have no monsters on the board before tapping the bear bait!!

[rulerofjennyville]

So far to get two chestnuts I have to defeat a polar bear at 20 chops. At this rate I'll never get enough chestnuts in 11 days. I'm up to bear 4- when I get to bear 5 can I park a troll so the bears stop popping up and get the chestnuts just from farmhouses? Or do I have to defeat bears to get them?

You have to defeat the bears to get chestnuts. Each bear drops 1, 2, or 5 chestnuts with 2 being the most common in my experience. Later in the story some chapters require defeating polar bears also, so that will help. The good news is, it doesn't take all 20 chops to defeat the bears, and they also drop some energy in return. Good luck!

[caron7]

Question, if I do craft a reindeer, does the option stay to craft a second? I noticed the 99 limit is now 200, enough to save 100 x2 and craft simultaneously. Maybe I need to do that? Thank you.

Ok, my math was right the first time I wrote this. I need 125 chestnuts for a reindeer. So I cannot save enough for two simultaneously. But since the craft remains, that's ok. Thanks everyone for the info.

[BufftonHeights]

After the adventure, I found a plate with something to eat. It looks like a roast !!
Goal 3 (from chapter 3) says "Go".
When you go, it brings you to the plate. You tap on it. The plate disappears, and the YB appears !
You need to fight 50 times, and then, chapter 3 is finished.

Important : I didn't have any monster when I tapped on the finished adventure !

Interesting. I had a troll in my pit. I chopped the bait, and the goal completed, letting me do my 2nd trip to the snowy mountains. i wonder if when I come back I will still have to fight a bear or if my chapter will end.

According to post 1, Chapter 3 requires only one adventure. (I only had to do one. The chapter ended after I fought YB.) I have a feeling you had to go on a second adventure to get another bear bait. The last step in chapter 3 is to fight yerik bearson. Clicking on the bait works like a skunkupine or boar trap and it triggers YB. I could be wrong, but I think you'll have to keep adventuring as long as you have a monster parked on your board.

Additional info for those not there yet....the bait did not go into inventory for me. It was in an adventure box, and I had to choose whether to place or store it.

Strange that you need two trips to Snowy Mountain. I only needed to make one, chop the bait and fight YB, just like Inachis2V

Oops! Sorry. ;) GMTA


Disclaimer!!! The question below is a hypothetical pondering only!! I DID NOT try it, and have no idea if it's even possible!!
I just thought of an interesting possibility.....I wonder if it would be possible for those wanting a souvenir bait to place it WITHOUT CHOPPING and send off another adventure, then chop it and fight YB after collecting the second adventure?? :confused:
Of course that would also require making two extra swords and potions, which I wouldn't want to do considering the energy required.

I have been thinking toward doing it, but as you said the energy needs is huge! I don't have an army of alis that can sustain me. I used the weekend to stock sword and potions as during week days I don't have much time to log in.

PS: As I have YB on the board, I am not so sure. Well I can hold off the last blow and see if I can gather a bit more warn stone, the swords are the easy bit. I just need to craft my extra one!

[GlvtenFree]

^^ Ive been holding off in fighting yerik and collecting another adventure while i gather more stones and such but i will let you all know if we can have an extra trap soon when i collect :) i like the look of it and wanted a souvenir too lol

[rulerofjennyville]

eh. I'm only getting two chestnuts each polar bear so this is going to take awhile. I guess at least I'm not getting one but I'm certainly not getting five.

[GlvtenFree]

It is possible to collect as many extra traps as you want in chapter 3 as long as you dont defeat yerik ans keep sending adventures out, even if he is spawned on your board.

[midninghtcm]

I just read everyone else's take on the trap for Yerik, and I'm like, ahh, I ddin't wait. I already defeated him. Sometimes Inwonder where my abilities to stratigize are. I certainly can't do a quest without the help of everyone here.

On that note, I'm liking the quest. Anyone notice how the theme for this is similiar to the Golden Compass? The bears, especially the main prize reminds me of Iorek Byrnison who becomes Lyra's ally. He has the scar, the armour and everything! So nice. Go S8 for being inventive.

I' hope this quest is one I'll finish. I'm sure going to try. Thank you to everyone else who helps provide input, strategy and advice.

[midninghtcm]

So am I. Two chestnuts all the way...

[PrincessCupOButter]

Awesome! Thanks for letting us know it works. :-) Unfortunately, I thought of it too late to try. But then again, I'm struggling for energy as it is anyway. Congrats on getting the souvenir!!

[msmorg]

What can I do I chopped the bait and it completed that segment but I had a polar bear on my board and I chopped him but he didn't count so how can I complete this goal? Oh wait after backtracking on earlier discussions I have to do another adventure and I will get a new bait and need to make sure no bears on my board before I chop. What a waste of energy and time!

[kattkrazie]

What can I do I chopped the bait and it completed that segment but I had a polar bear on my board and I chopped him but he didn't count so how can I complete this goal?

That's what happened to me, too. I completed it with gems. But I wonder if you can go on the adventure again and get another polar bear bait to chop, then fight him. Might be easier to use gems.

[preinsko]

I don't have time to wade through the mix between polar bears and Beary Scary blizzard event. When I finished chapter 3 the ability to make potion & swords disappeared. I just chopped through 8 rocks using all my energy and got no warm rocks. However according to page 1 of this post I still need these items to make more & go on adventure which is also missing. What part of I have to work do you people not understand? I can't play all day and all night. This is just not fair! BTW I refuse to use gems if that is what this is all about!

Place your box and tap on it and the polar bear pops up and you have to hit it 50 times that completes chapter 3 and you should not need to go on another adventure, but you will then have to wait for chapter 4 to open up.
The options to get warm rocks and frozen shards disappear until needed for future chapters.
Did you have a beast parked?????
That could be an issue and unfortunately I don't have a solution other than gems. Maybe others could answer????

Unfortunately the ability to get warm rocks and frozen shards is only possible when you have not finished chapter 3, it should be possible again when chapter 4 starts for you. Delay finishing the adventures required in each chapter if you intend to continue collecting shards/rocks for potion and swords or make them. I feel your pain, I work too.

[zoroak]

To be fair, this event is an improvement on the previous ones in the recent past, less energy intensive and tedious.

[scavaig]

Yep - enjoying this one. Think S8 have the balance right at last. (Maybe some chapters, like 2, are a bit too easy ;-), but a restful day occasionally is nice )

[kendysek]

I gave up on the Beary Scary Blizzard, but just because I want to craft soo many reindeers I can :o (maybe I can reach two) ;) :D

But it seems very nice arranged and doable. Good luck everyone.

[rulerofjennyville]

It looks like chapter 3 is the hardest on the polar bear one. If that is the case at least they didn't make you wade through chapter after chapter then give you a difficult one. I'm more going to go for the reindeer I think and only half go after that polar bear. I'm not sure I'll get it.

[ShibuyaCloth]

I managed to get an extraYB trap in chapter 3! Just send out an extra adventure before finishing off YB!

[rulerofjennyville]

Does the reindeer drop anything? Anyone know?

Think I got milk and bones

[riverly]

I wonder if the option to collect frozen shards will be available in chapters 5 and 6.

[Inachis2V]

I guess only the option for W. P. will, because you need 1 Warming Potion in both chapters, but no Frozen S.

[riverly]

I guess only the option for W. P. will, because you need 1 Warming Potion in both chapters, but no Frozen S.those are my speculations too, so seeing as we need 8 swords for chapter 10, it would be good to collect a lot of F shards in chap4.

I do believe my posts are getting crazier and crazier!!!!

The Knights aren't too smart. They bring warming potion along with their frozen swords.

[Eluzyion]

I'm having an issue making the Reindeer.. I have 124/125, I spent 5 gems to get the last one because my event auto-started.. So the workshop then shows 125/125 and I click to start the reindeer.. After the timer starts the screen shows horse running "loading..." Circle and when it stops my gems are replaced and workshop is empty showing 124/125 again! After trying twice I reloaded the game and tried 3 more times.. Same thing. It just will not make the reindeer! Help!

I tried crafting reindeer again, then the potion in ch 1 act 2, the potion stayed crafting the reindeer reset again.. Don't know what's going on, even tried to hurry completion but that didn't work either

Don't know what's going on, even tried to hurry completion but that didn't work either, still got the running horse when I re-opened the game. The only solution I found was to fight another polar bear to get the other chestnut. I was able to craft the reindeer with no problem by getting chestnuts without gems.

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c45/eluzyion/other%20games/097F8CCF-0533-4190-8CF8-37FB66FA3196.jpg

There seems to be a tiny glitch when you use gems to buy the final chestnut. The same sequence of events you describe happened to me as well. Even putting the reindeer in storage first and closing the game didn't work.

The only solution I found was to fight another polar bear to get the last chestnut. Then I was able to craft the reindeer
with no issues.

[Eluzyion]

Thanks katt.. I just had another polar bear come up so I'll fight it for the last chestnut and see if that works :) I hope..


UPDATE: finished off polar bear got 2 chestnuts 126/125 created Merry reindeer and placed it, so the game just didn't want my gems, which fine! Your loss lol thanks again katt!

[PrincessCupOButter]

It appears that the fangbeasts are no longer afraid of the polar bears. The farmhouses are spawning them again.

[aurora171]

Is anyone else having a problem with the tavern brew? I clicked on "go" and it's taken me to the kitchen but I have no option to craft?

Edit: force closing fixed it!

[pongkay]

Same here. How do we refill?

[Irma_Isle]

I'm really happy with the quest which is I enjoy it so much.

The only thing that tingling in my head is about the Ice Path. First impresion is good. I run to buy as much as I can to replace all the path in my kingdong with Ice Path. And for fun, I decide to make some Icy Sliding Ski. But the result is not quit enjoyable... I hope S8 want to make some change. So there is not a hole between the path.

[SpiritWind00]

Now if the characters tried to walked on the ice path and skidded off - now that would be funny! :)

Thanks for posting the picture Irma... it's similar to the horse track path as it also has that hole in the middle when you join them together. The blue colour really lights up the board.

[RevdKathy]

I'm having problems with an enraged bear. I went to the tavern, got the reward and am showing goal 3. But if I click go, it directs me back to the tavern, which of course is now on an eight hour timer. I tried a force close, but no improvement.

I'll wait the eight hours, but am confused.

[Ryiiann]

I'm having a tough time getting frost shards from ponds. After 8 tries, I only managed 2 shards. Another 6 times, and got nothing. Anyone else having this issue or is it just my game? It's a lot easier to get the warm stones from rocks.

[cccymaaa]

Is there is a beast park in your kingdom? because clicking at the tavern bring Yerik. Then you have to fight it with 90 energy.

[RevdKathy]

There was a beast - I thought I could complete t and then click go? Apparently not. Well, I suppose I have 8 hours to build up a head of energy then :D

[Inachis2V]

when you visit the tavern, Yerik appears immediatly, it needs 90 fights to be ****ed !

[rulerofjennyville]

Not sure why I'm still trying to get this. I have seven days left and am only on chapter 3. Surely that doesn't give me enough time? I can't ever work out the time in these chapters.

Here's the full info for Chapter 5...



Chapter 5:
1: Refill the Tavern Brew 0/1 (Kitchen - 1 warming potion, 3 wheat, 3 water - 2hrs)
2: Visit a Tavern 0/1
3: Defeat enraged Yerik Bearson 0/1 (visit a Tavern - Yerik Bearson has 90 health)

It seemed like I was short from the start. We'll see, I'll keep trying. But it seemed like a contest I couldn't win because of the time. I'd like a bear if I can get one. But I won't waste gems.

[hagypagy]

Nah you're exactly on track!

... I would recommend waiting while you have Yerik Bearson appear the first time (in Chapter 3) to gather all your warm stones (from rocks) and frost shards (from ponds) before defeating him. Also pregrow/chop your Acer Trees and prechop your Iron Rich Rocks and gather as much as you can of the following in these early stages ...

All up you need these special items:

48 Warm Stones / 16 Warming Potions (48 warm stones, 160 hot peppers, 160 water) - used 3 already - don't brew 2
56 Frost Shards / 14 Frost Swords (56 frost shards , 280 iron ore) - used 3 already
7 Red Acer Trees
5 Yellow Acer Trees
13 Iron Rich Rocks - used 3 already
3 Grits - used all 3 by now
4 Simple Feasts - for Frozen Forrest adventures - used 1 already
25 Furs - for Snowy Mountains adventures - used 5 already
1 Hearty Feast
30 Living Wood
30 White Petals
4 Red Dye

[stormyskater]

It worked for the other chapter that we needed rocks for, so I would assume it would be the same.

You don't have to craft it. At the beginning of the thread it says that ones inventory do count.

.. I guess we need only 25 furs .. but even them would probably by my ****er criterium, I have only 5 and not yet done any adventure

[riverly]

.. I guess we need only 25 furs .. but even them would probably by my ****er criterium, I have only 5 and not yet done any adventuredo you have any manticore? They give fur. Also try collecting milk and eggs ( with no beast parked). That usually spawns fang beasts Also pet cats or dogs give fur.

[dipwid]

Can you craft more than one ever-Heath? I want to be able to roast all those extra chestnuts I'll have on hand.

[8pry8]

do you have any manticore? They give fur. Also try collecting milk and eggs ( with no beast parked). That usually spawns fang beasts Also pet cats or dogs give fur.

Thank you riverly .. but I'm LL and have not yet any of these nice things like allicorns or manticores etc. .. I collect milk and eggs regularly and also harvest wheat, sugar and other crops which gives beasts but the spawn rate is rare (and I also have not so much energy for that..) .. but I asked now my neighbors if they could gift me some, hope this helps.

[Dragosle]

Does anyone know if Warm Stone and Frost Shard could stop dropping during the process of a chapter (not in between chapters).

I'm currently at Chapter 1 and I seem to not be able to get any more of those 2 items after finishing goal 4 (craft the sword). I don't to waste more energy T_T

[Inachis2V]

They stop dropping when you don't need them for the goal were you are busy :-/

[RevdKathy]

As far as I can see, stones and icicles only drop during a goal when you need them, up to when you finish making what they were for. So once you've collected the last potion or sword or been on the last quest that's it, they don't drop. This makes it a little tough to build up a store of them without falling behind on the rest of the game. I'm aiming to be a little over half in stock for the last day, but much furore than that will make me too late.

Yesterday while waiting for the 2nd adventure, I collected as much from ponds & outcroppings as possible. I didn't collect the adventure either until early evening, getting as many stones & frost shards until I was ready to whack the bears in the last goal of the chapter. So hold off collecting as long as you can to build up the needed crafting items.

I'm currently at Chapter 1 and I seem to not be able to get any more of those 2 items after finishing goal 4 (craft the sword). I don't to waste more energy T_Tthey do stop dropping. The craft is gone from workshop. In future chapters, try to collect when the craft is active in workshop or for the potion is active in potion shop. But! You also have to watch the timing. For lower level players it is a juggling act between collecting, growing crops, getting other resources but at the same time dealing with fewer sources of energy.
Good luck!!
And also keep checking page one of the forum for what's coming up ahead.
Great tips are often in bold letters!!

[riverly]

Also, I'm a long time player, and I am NOT trying for the reindeer. Too much energy needed. If I do get it, it's because of the goals for YB and tapping farm houses when I'm "caught up ".

[missharleyO3]

Ure not the only one. Ive been getting 1 outta 5-6 ponds. 😡 Not too lucky with warm stones either. I get 1 out of 6-8 chops.

[puzzlecatz]

Help. I am confused. I finished chapter three except for the last part where it says to defeat Yerik Bearson. I have already done the adventure etc and the the last thing I did was collect from a tavern. Then a dire boar was spawned from that and I defeated him. But what happened to my Yerik Bearson I am supposed to defeat? I think I already did that after the adventure. When I click on the go from the chapter guide it just takes me back to my other tavern which is not ready to collect for another five hours. What do I do? Do I have to do another adventure or collect from my tavern again or did something screw up somewhere?

[PrincessCelestian]

Once you collect from the second adventure in chapter 4 you can no longer collect warming stones or frost shards or craft potions and shards. So make sure that you stock up as much as you can before collecting that second adventure.

Do you mean chapter 3 or chapter 5? The YB bait in chapter three comes from the adventure. You should get a box and when you click on it you can place the bait or store it. If this is the case, then I would look in your inventory. If you mean chapter 5 then I cannot help you as that is tomorrow for me.

Make sure there are no other monsters in your kingdom. Then collect from your tavern when it's ready. You should be good.

But what happened to my Yerik Bearson I am supposed to defeat? I think I already did that after the adventure. When I click on the go from the chapter guide it just takes me back to my other tavern which is not ready to collect for another five hours. What do I do? Do I have to do another adventure or collect from my tavern again or did something screw up somewhere?

The same thing happened to me. A dire boar spawned from the tavern instead of Yerik Bearson. I think it is just really bad luck as I have never had a dire boar spawn when collecting from the tavern. Fingers crossed that when we collect again we get the correct beast!

I had a monster when I collected from the tavern the first time, I thought there was another step before spawning Yerik. I did spawn Yerik on my second tavern collection, so all is well.

Ok so two more hours til my next tavern collection. Hopefully this will work

Yeah it worked! Now onto the next chapter...

Not sure if this is the right place, but I need help with this quest. Whenever I try to start the Beary Scary Blizzard Quest the game will reload after some seconds and anything I collected will disappear but for example neither the rock outcropping I mined nor the engery used for it will come back. It`s pretty frustrating :(

It takes time for the game to sync if you are just entering the game from another program you are using. If you are worried about losing anything always force quit the game and re-open before you start collecting anything

For some reason, every time I collect any warm stones, the game resets and my count goes back to none. I can't get past the first goal! Ugh!!!

That sounds like a nuisance! Reinstall your game and see if that corrects it. You may also want to force close your apps and restart your device. I find I need to restart my device every day or 2 so that I can open my game and make everything load. Let us know how you get on.... If it still doesn't work, can you please post in the Bugs forum (http://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?95987-Beary-scary-blizzard). Use this thread. :)

Sadly neither reinstalling the game nor restarting my tablet worked. As kara71 said, the game reloads every time I collect any warm stones. Reporting to the Bugs forum, thanks for the link.

Is it possible to make two nutcrackers? I'm pretty sure my castle will need two to stand guard out front. And nutcrackers are my favorite Christmas decoration. I have an entire army of nutcrackers in real life. So I definitely need more than one in CS.

I didn't try to craft 2 nutcrackers, but I don't think you'll be able to because you can only purchase 1 holiday uniform. You might be able to craft a second one in your other workshop if you buy the holiday uniform with gems. But you'd have to do them at the same time since the craft will disappear once you've crafted the first one. Good luck.

in chapter 6 goal 2, you go to the workshop for the Ever-Heart, not the PotionShop .

Thanks! I've updated the location ;)

Good to know. I'm putting a second tavern out, just in case...

After you finish the event, the decorations you crafted are available in the market for gems. The nutcracker is 100 gems which might be cheaper than using gems to purchase the holiday uniform to craft a second nutcracker.

Have chopped ten trees an not one living wood. Tried oak, red ochre and crabapple. Any suggestions?

This happened to me too.. I had in mind to defeat my polar monster but I forgot and collected from the Tavern. Luckily I had a second Tavern out so did not get held up.
Do suggest to place a second Tavern, cause u get there quicker than u expect. PirateTaverns do NOT count.
