Are drops of energy rare from this building at level 5?

You get occasional drops of energy at level 5. The most energy I've gotten out of it is a 5 energy drops. My purple alicorn gives the most at 40 - I also get 5 drops from the wedding alicorn. Then there's the 10 I always get from my wizard school.

Does anyone know if flour drops are more frequent the higher the level so lvl 5 drops more than a lvl 1 windmill?

I put mine in storage because it never dropped energy for me.

I have a level5 and a level2, it seem the drops are the same. Never saw confirmation for this so it's just my impression.

Initially it droped only 1 glimmerdust for me, put it in storage, took it out when I read it may drop living wood and it seems the drops are now more various but never got enery so it's pretty rare

I'm having trouble transferring to my new iPad. I stupidly opened cs before logging in on candy mania. I play those two, bs2, frozen frenzy and hungry babies. Is there a way to move my progress after having opened them on the new device?

:) Yes! Do any of these ones have an Account Settings? If they don't, use Bakery as it's the quickest to get through the tutorial so that you can access the blue S8 button top right of screen.

You'll find step by step instructions in the Hub in post 3. You should also try logging into Facebook by using your device Settings and then trying to reconnect for the games that are run through FB (like eg Frozen Frenzy, Candy). If these don't work for you, you will need to get Support to help you. Good luck!

Market Places
I am on level 50, have a level 5 market place, but unlike other players, am unable to buy more market places (eg for current timed goal). Game keeps telling me that I have to level up! What am I doing wrong?

You may need to sell some other town buildings. You can have 40 Town buildings. The number of each of these buildings you can have is limited to your total town building count.

Glimmer Alicorns.
I've just noticed that Glimmer Alicorns now cost 50 gold coins to make when they only costed 5 gold coins to make in the last monster hunt season. Why the change S8??!!

And you can only craft one! We've been discussing it since Thursday in the trade wagon thread.

Please continue you discussion the Glimmer Alicorns on the current thread shown in post 13.

The Sabina storyline I've completed the cutting Sabina free I've got the desert sands goal in my menu bit but the house goal isn't appearing and I think according to the goal guide I need to complete this before I can get the desert sands adventure and progress? So why isn't it appearing? Thanks

Now that the adventure is unlocked you will get a goal asking you to on an adventure to get the Heart of the Sands. Once you have that Sabina's house is unlocked and can be built. You are soooooo close! ;)

It's for the amber augmentation goal to adventure to glimmer beach of a main goal boar...ing problem

I started out loving Castle Story, but the quests got harder because I was playing the game without spending my real $$ on gems, so it takes a long time to gather up the Glimmerdust (months for Ivy's house!!) And now I am not finding the dratted Skunkupines so I can get the rat tails for the hot sauce so I can make the Spicy Feast for the Glimmer something quest for the knights!!!! And I need Glimmerdust for super glue and builders paste to finish a couple of buildings. Getting discouraged again. And the promos for other games has got to stop! That's why I took a break from CS, I got involved with a couple of their other games because they sent me there in the first place!!! I want to keep playing CS, there's something about it I like, but the drops for some of the items needs to change unless I'm doing something wrong... And I could be. I just found this forum the other day and haven't gone through the whole guide yet...I'm working on it. So I guess to sum it up, I am looking for suggestions for rat tails and Glimmerdust!! Thanks!!

Ask neighbors to gift you with glimmer dust. If you need neighbors, there is an add me thread on the forum

mushrooms are a great source for finding glimmerdust and chopping some of the old logs (I think it's what they're called lol). Hope that helps some with the glitterdust! :)

Dead trees and mushroom circles have always been a great source of glimmerdust for me. You can also get your neighbours to send you dust daily gifting so make use of that resource if at all possible hope this helps somewhat :)

I guess my neighbors don't play or return gifts that much. I do gift the dust to my neighbors and search the shrooms every time I can...guess I'll look for new neighbors! 😉 Any thoughts on how to get the rat tails?? (Gross) lol

is there a max number of neighbors that you can receive help from daily? Or can I click all of my neighbors and expect responses? Also does this apply to all s8 games or is each one of them different?

You can ask all your neighbors for help. You'll only get responses from 20 of them each day. So if you ask 60 neighbors for help, you can get 20 back today. Once the S8 day switches, the remaining 40 have a chance to reply (of which you'll only get 20 back that day).

How rare is a skunku-pie drop from ivys hut?

EDIT:
The reason I ask is I have 24 in inventory currently but need one to drop for a boaring problem goal to craft boar bait.

Re Ice and fire dragon event.

I'm being asked to give boar pelts but I don't get dire boars! What can I do?

I have more of a strategy-related question. How do people choose what buildings/events to spend gems on/speed up or make sure to get right away vs waiting and working through the goals at non-gem-costing speed? I'm asking specifically because of situations like this: I bought up the bait market and the beastbane display right as soon as they came on the market (800 gems total) ... didn't really get anything out of buying it immediately. same situation with glimmeregg forge. sure, some of these items are no longer available for purchase but they don't add much more the decoration to my kingdom. Conversely, I didn't speed through the last monster hunt (season 5) despite being within close reach of crafting the MRC and subsequently a bunch of purple alicorns. I decided that since I had the beastbane display and only needed 3 tokens to hit 70, id stick it out and save my gems for something else. I ended up one of the many people who unfortunately didn't get any purple alicorns before the price went up to 50 gold coins and limited to only 1.

Now, this isn't a complaint, i'm not looking to rehash what is already being discussed in pages and pages of a separate thread concerning this specific issue. I know that the examples i gave have some technicalities associated with them that are being worked out but there are plenty more I could give that follow the same pattern. I could say the same for the cherry hive event or the glimmeregg hunt,i rushed through both of those and was done almost a week or maybe even more before the event expired, with essentially no benefit of finishing early ...

So generally speaking ... what are people's strategies as far as what goals/items, i guess, to invest in right away and what ones could stand (and perhaps even benefit) from waiting and seeing how they play out? I hope that makes sense.

Make full use of the forum for all goals especially timed events that way you know what is required way ahead if schedule so say for example the goal is to collect from 10 cottages at step 6, when you are at step 2 make sure you have the required number of built cottages to place before end of step 5 or the required resources to build the 10 so you don't waste any time.

As for gem buildings during timed quests the forum again is the top resource for solutions to any queries or questions and people are more than happy to help.

I myself have just completed using gems to build the bountiful table to level 5 so it now drops feasts this information I obtained from the hub for gem number required for each stage and I calculated whether it is worth my while for drops and long time use on the board.

On my browser I have a folder of handy bookmarks for CS to reference at speed for goals/inventory/general discussion try bookmarking these pages for quick reference next time :)

Please explain are you are at too low a level for dire boars to appear or are you not triggering the correct collections which spawns them?

How do you check out someone's kingdom if they are not your neighbor? I often see people post their Storm ID for others to look, but how?

Re: fire & ice event. I collected a bunch of seeds for goal 3 of 3, but I must have started on the Lily's too soon. I am totally stuck there no mater what I do. I have gone on about 5 or 6 more adventures, but no more seeds, I do have one of each flower & 1 of eac seed left.

I did not think to come look here until now, where I notice it says not to start on the flowers until the goal is finished- is there anything you can do to help me. Thank you

You must have 3 seeds in your inventory to pass this goal. Unfortunately, you need to get some more for the goal to complete. Don't make lilies until chapter 4 starts and the goal is in your book. You need to MAKE one of each lily for chapter 4, so don't use them up till the goal asks you. Good luck!

You can only send an invite to them to visit. Most players simply write on the wall of the player that they can decline the invite. :)

Its not like anyone cares but i honestly feel like eracing my games i did the seed thing and of course if you over the changing of seeds to flowers in the potion shop we are going to do so i ended up with more than three flowers of each color and the graph is not moving and mo indication that i have been on the adventure 50 times then you must have been up dating all your games because i couldn't get on them all day this has happened on other quests just when i'm near the end trouble with the game how about that i think you just want people to spend their money on gems so they can nuy their way to the end of the quest any way after three years you can keep your dragon eggs etc.

Did you get any help yet?

Like you, I didn't see "not to start on the flowers until goal 3 is finished" - until after I started the Lilies. I had only collected 2/3 seeds on Ch3/goal3. Now I'm stuck.

But I did not collect my Lilies yet. Had hoped that would make a difference, but still no more seeds from the Elder Cave adventure after 10-12 tries

I even read in another forum that you "can't collect more seeds if your glimmerdust is full", so I used a lot. Again, more adventures, but no more seeds,

Anyone know I will ever get any more fire & ice seeds within collecting my lilies?

_________
Will I ever get more seeds WITHOUT collecting my Lilies first?
