So for the wheat one when you collect wheat you get two per harvest for 15 collections. For the dead tree you get fruit when chopping the dead trees etc.

First I just want to say that we will never leave a quest in your log that requires spending gems to complete - while the Fortune Teller is a gem building, the quests are just to unlock it in the store.

If you buy the Fortune Teller, every few days you'll get a new fortune from Ivy! What does she see in her crystal ball? So far she's found you a hidden cache of coins, and an extra bounty of wheat... who knows what the future has in store for you! (Ivy might :)) We will continue to support the Fortune Teller and add new fortunes regularly.

For our coin only users, do not worry - we're working on some great content that you should see in a few weeks. Did you know Castle Story is almost a year old? We've got some neat stuff planned for our anniversary!

Hope this helps clear things up :)

Nothing has changed, except that once you collect from the Fortune Teller, if Ivy gives you a new fortune, you'll get a quest in your log associated with that Fortune so you can help keep track of things.

Those of you who are currently on Fortunes should see a quest appear in your log. If not, try collecting from the Fortune Teller a few times and see if Ivy has something new for you :)

We do plan on releasing new Fortunes soon. Thanks everyone!

I don't have enough gems. :( Gonna hit the royal exchange and unload my golden eggs, nuggets and apples :))

My potion shack is tied up what is needed to craft the clairvoyant potion?

Really hope there are ingredients rather than being forced to buy with gems :(

Can u tell us what's the description under the fortune teller tent please? Thanks

ok i forgot to copy it down but clairvoyant potion requires like 10 glimmer dusts, some large amount of white and yellow petals.

The recipe for the Clairvoyance Potion calls for:
- 10 Glimmberdust
- 20 Orange Petals
- 30 White Petals

Step 1, create the potion (30 glimmer dust, 20 orange petals, 30 white petals)
https://s24.postimg.org/7eon5ata9/201...2_12_10_07.jpg
Step 2, collect from library

Step 3, build the fortune teller (250 gems + 3 fancy beams, 1 wisp lantern, 3 fancy blocks, 1 claivoyance potion)
https://s12.postimg.org/lf7nd3eg9/201...2_12_11_59.jpg
Step 4, ?? collecting once from the fortune teller did not gave me anything but 700 coins, maybe it drops something

after the first step, YOU DO NOT GET ANYTHING IN YOUR BOOK OF QUESTS, so read up for your next step

Description of the tent "Ivy's Fortune Teller Tent: what fortunes lie in wait for you?"

wait , what ? it costs gems to build ???? seriously ???

I'm going to check on this. Hold your horses people. (Hold your gems, too.)

protip, if you like to keep useless items in your inventory like I do, you better craft two claivoyance potions

also update, after speeding it up twice, it told me this

https://s10.postimg.org/66p2kyvyd/201...2_12_23_30.jpg
and now every wheat drops 2 pieces, it probably will have more fortunes in the future but now im low in gems so thats it for me for today

Too late.....250 big ones(gems) down the drain.if this wasn't supposed to be for gems,kindly refund mine,thanks

If I had to make an educated guess, I say its pretty similar to the tabernum

So collecting from tent will trigger a new quest. Seems like another random drop. Please keep us posted

I just put in a query to the CMs. It may not be a bug, it just seems weird to me because no other goals have required spending gems.
So no one get too anxious about having spent the gems and don't start requesting refunds.

I guess this fortune teller tent works like the shard? First fortune increases wheat production. Wonder what future fortune will do. Cool :)

I was trying to make two potions but the goal completed automatically once I'd be*** the first. Bummer.

May we please have an expansion? Please? It doesn't even need to be goal related. I've spent a great deal of time organizing/decorating my little kingdom and to see it crammed slowly but surely with new items/buildings I don't really have room for is a bit of a let down.

Really? A goal-oriented unlock, but you still have to pay an absurd amount of gems? =/

Which flowers drop the white petals?

Kinda cool but geez 250 gems! I'm thinking it might be different for every player, probably we'll get diff things when we collect.

The white trillium drops white petals as well but the poppies have a shorter waiting period between collections.

Another drop for white petals is the Bush, it will drop either white or orange petals with a collection time of 10 min. Just in case you need both colors for the potion.

Someone will be eager enough and use gems. Whether its real or not. Then the will finish the goal in two days and come whining again before the weekend is over, about how they have nothing to do. While throwing in the random toddler like threats to quit.

Since we are here, has anyone been able to make noodles in their love shack? I was able to do so last night but can't anymore. Boo! I need a third kitchen.

Id like confirmation on this from when you got an official answer, my past experiences I havent had lucky talking with support, they would just send me their cute copy paste answers, so I pretty much rather not waste my time if it is intended

I need something to double sugar production for all the sweet feast. I still don't have dragon

Even if it is gems unless it does not spectacular I'd not waste my time saving towards it. I still have the free gems I for from monster story. Ill let everyone else figure it out, while I try to make more lemonade, orange cobbler and apple pies. My adventures have been brining me back a couple gems daily too.

Double wheat for 250 gems? No thanks, I'll pass.

Was only stating that IF it was a bug,I would rightly like a refund,but since it seems to not be a bug,then that's fine by me

Well.... To my mind at least it'sA: kinda a crafting goal (but not too chuffed on gems to build aspect)
and B: it's more use than a bit of golden bling from last update

Word from CMs: NOT A BUG. Fortune teller is supposed to cost gems.

Hey folks, just wanted to chime in here since it looks like a lot of you are wondering how the Fortune Teller works!
