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

PART A - Princess Lorelei's Fountain
prepared by SpiritWind.

Main storyline.
This is part of a quest chain that unlocks at level 22. That quest is not time limited! It's here to stay, so no worries if you're not level 22 yet or don't finish it before the season is over.

Q: Where do I get the Sapphire's from?
A: The sapphires were a reward from a previous iOS only goal. The only way to get the sapphires now is to make them from gold coins in the trade wagon. The fountain takes 2 sapphires which need 10 gold coins each.

Update on Lorelei's Fountain: the fountain will ONLY drop tokens during the monster hunt events. After the event is over it will not drop tokens.
Fountain Drops during a Monster Hunt: gold troll token (for cooking camp), water, mermaid scales, fish
Fountain Drops between events: water, mermaid scales, fish

Goals
1. Have 2 sapphires (this goal auto completed for most of us, so I need more info if anyone can post)
2. A Mermaid's Gift - Get Princess Lorelei's Fountain from the Trade Wagon
Reward: 270 coin, 2 xp, 3 gold tokens
Note: see pictures below for details.

PART B - Monster Hunt Event Season 4 (January 2015)
timed event

Goals for Season 4
Part 1: Tokens For My Liege! - collect 30 tokens, complete any Token trade. Reward: 1400 coin, 5xp, 1 pile of tokens.
Part 2: Baron, The Slayer - defeat any 10 monsters. Reward: 1400 coin, 5xp, 1 pile of tokens.
Part 3: Inglorious Baron - defeat any 25 monsters. Reward: 2400 coin, 7xp, 1 Season 4 slayer statue.

Tips and Tricks:
* Get rid of any monsters on your board. You can tell if you have one you can't see because of the music.
* DON'T tap the troll pit!!!! Regular trolls don't drop tokens. Neither do pink skunkupines, pink alicorn, wedding alicorn, Gem horses.
* Monsters also drop their normal items in addition to the tokens
* Do the Bronze Hunter Trade if you are nearly maxed on Shield tokens so that they don't go to waste
* A Level 5 Jousting Arena will spawn a monster on every collection.

If we only had a mountain to display the fountain...:confused:

I tested that fountain and it tried to drop mermie scales and water. Also got 1 exp and some coins...

I can't place my fountain. I can only store it or rotate it but can not place it. Ideas? I have signed out, closed up, refreshed and still unable to place.

Having the same problem..rushed to complete so I could drop it in storage...

Thanks:)

so so the fountain is both useless and ugly, and the rest of the update is more coin collecting for the cooking camp I long ago stopped caring if I ever get. Adding som sappy dialog about the ruler doesn't make this main storyline. Guess I'll keep my sapphires and the trade wagon will go straight back in storage.

I still can't place my fountain. I have closed it, visited neighbors, deleted and re-installed and still can't place it. Was able to put it in my inventory but can't place. Help please.
