I haven't noticed a Golden item drop yet but I might be maxed on apples. I'm loving the amount of coins the temple drops though. Herc has yet to deliver those trade tickets. Like you I keep getting black flags for earth wisps :-/
Thank you! I get those all the time; I just didn't know that was what we called them!
So, on another note, we all as a collective decided to accept as totally normal that our little "liege" pours water into the Greek Fountains in order to collect more water? lol!!
Still no Trade Tickets from Herc. Sigh.
Wow! PoTP!! Herc finally just delivered those three trade tickets. Woot!
