Please note: Yellow dust does not drop from the Chateau on every collection. You will have to visit it several times to get the yellow dust. The adventure drops multiple yellow dust on collection.


Goals:

Dialogue:

Spoiler: show

Sabina: Miss Lila, are... Are you sure we are going in the right direction?
Lila: Absolutely! See? Queen Ivinea's dust has left a trail along the tree roots.
Ruler: But Lila... We're headed right back towards the kingdom!
Lila: Huh???
Sabina: Young Ruler, how could this be?
Ruler: I... I don't know, Sabina... But, whatever the reason, it can't be good. We should focus on finding Queen Ivinea. Once we've made sure she's safe, *then* we can worry about how this happened.
Sabina: ...
Ruler: ...What? Is something wrong?
Sabina: N-No... You are right. The sooner we locate Queen Ivinea, the better.

Leave no stone unturned! If we all work together, we are sure to find Queen Ivinea in no time at all!

Dialogue:

Spoiler: show

Ruler: Guys, over here! Look!
Ivy: Yellow faerie dust? That's gotta be Queen Ivinea's dust! Where'd you find it?
Ruler: That's the disturbing part... It was here, around the Royal Chateau!
Ivy: Huh? That doesn't make any sense... Lady Greselda, can you take a look? Is this *really* Queen Ivinea's dust?
Greselda: Let me see... ...
Ivy: ...Well?
Greselda: ...It is definitely faerie dust, at least. The magic in it is extremely potent.
Ruler: Then there's no time to lose! Everyone spread out and search the Royal Chateau!
Sabina: Ah! Perhaps... Perhaps we should search in pairs?
Ruler: Pair So? What for?
Sabina: Well! Um...
Greselda: ...It would help us to be more thorough in our searching.
Sabina: Y-Yes! If we split into pairs, we can be absolutely sure we don't miss anything!
Ruler: Um... Alright... I'll go with Ivy, you two go together, and Old Thomas can go with Sir Thurston?
Sabina: Yes. That sounds good to me! Good luck, everyone!
Lila: Hey! What about me! I want to help!
Ruler: We need to make sure you and Azalea remain safe...especially if the culprit somewhere in this kingdom!
Greselda: Return to your sister, little faerie. We will search this place, and get you two when we've found your queen.
Lila: Fine...

Thurston: Though our history with Queen Ivinea has been difficult, I will put forth my best effort to find and rescue her! As stated in the Knight's Code, Rule 47: 'Thou shalt help any in need, no matter what!'
2. Follow The Yellow Dust Trail
* Search the Royal Chateau 0/4 GO (skip 100 gems) | You need to go on the new adventure in the castle...
Rewards: 2050 coin, 8 xp
Congratulations: Thurston: My Liege, alert the faeries! I hath located their Queen Ivinea!

Dialogue:

Spoiler: show

Thurston: Everyone! I hath found Queen Ivinea!
Lila: We're here, we're here! Where is she?
Azalea: By the plume! Thank goodness you've found her! Take us to her at once!
Thurston: This way, towards the center of the chateau!
Ruler: Queen Ivinea! We're here for you!
Queen Ivinea: *weakly* You... !
Lila: My Queen! Just hag on, we'll get you out of--
Greselda: Stop! Don't touch those bounds!!!
Lila & Azalea: ?!
Greselda: Calm yourselves for a moment and think! Look upon the condition of your queen... Can you not see she is ill and weary?
Azalea: W-Well, then we have to get her out of those bounds immediately!
Greselda: I agree, but it would not do for you to endanger yourselves in the process. That cord is sapping Queen Ivinea's magic!
Lila: Then what should we do? We have to help her!
Greselda: Leave this to us, dears. I already have some familiarity with this string. It is the same which we found at the Plume Hive, the one your captor used to subdue you.
Ivy: Oh! If that's the case, a counter-enchantment should be easy to make!
Greselda: Yes. We can use our findings from before to concoct a base... Then, with a bit of Queen Ivinea's dust, we'll align our spell to her magic. This way, we can cut through that cord without harming her in the process!
Azalea: It... sounds safe enough... Are you sure this will work?
Ruler: Lady Greselda and Ivy are her best chance right now. We must have faith in them! Hang tight, Queen Ivinea. We'll get you out of there soon!
Queen Ivinea: ...
Ruler: ...?

Does something seem fishy to you? I can't quite put my finger on it... Oh well, I'd better focus on the counterspell. Lady Greselda needs me at the top of my game!

Dialogue:

Spoiler: show

Ruler: Alright, Queen Ivinea, hold still! These scissors should do the trick!
Queen Ivinea:...
Ruler: Aaand... There! Everyone help me clear away these cords!
Sabina: Oh, My Lady, you look so faint! Let us help you to a stand...
Ivy: Here, take my hand, Queen Ivinea. I've got you!
Queen Ivinea: Thank yo both. I hardly have the strength to keep my eyes open...
Azalea: Thank the plume you're okay, My Queen!
Lila: Yes! At last, we're all free and safe again!
Queen Ivinea: I am glad to see you both are safe. Neither of you are hurt?
Azalea: No, My Lady! The humans rescued us and helped us recover!
Queen Ivinea: I see...
Greselda: Now that you are freed, it would behoove us to determine the cause of all this.
Ivy: Yeah! Now that you are the safe, we need to make sure it doesn't happen again!
Queen Ivinea: That should be simple enough. I doubt the culprit will have much opportunity to try anything new.
Ruler: What makes you say that? Do you know who did this?
Queen Ivinea: I do, and I am looking right at them.
Ruler: ...Huh?
Queen Ivinea: Do not play coy with me, 'Young Ruler.' Did you truly believe you could best me?
Greselda / Sabina: ?!
Ruler: Wait, what? The Ruler... ?
Ruler: Whoa, show down! Queen Ivinea, you don't seriously think *I* did this?
Queen Ivinea: I have no time for this. Lila! Azalea! It is time we returned home... AWAY from this fiend!

Is this for the Quest beginning with Spellbound Construction? or is this thread for a higher-level-something else.

If it is for the above mentioned, will upgrading a building to level 6 effect quests that require a level 5 building?
If I'm in the wrong place for this question, please move if possible, thanks.

That's a separate thing, I'll make a new thread :)

I also did not get it...

What building do we have to upgrade to level 6?
What flowers give spellbound dew?
Are we required to purchase Spellbound Bloom for 300 gems in order to begin this quest?
