Castle Story: upgrade buildings to Level 10: The Onyx Mine

[HomeDesign1980]

I?ve maxed out on onyx ore and have buildings at level nine that tell me to craft onyx blocks and beams to upgrade to level 10 but when I go to the workshop it is blocked by goal.

did you do the goal to unlock it?

I just got onyx ore from my adventure. Good to have multiple sources for something like this.

Is one of your L9 buildings the one in the actual goal (in the picture on page 1)? If yes then you should be able to craft so perhaps you might like to reach out to support to check why.

Good to know indeed, thanks Sylvan.

FYI my most reliable source for onyx ore is by far the swampy pond, that has only 15 mins collection time

I've finally gotten around to create the normal summary for Level 10 now. If you have any other information about Level 11, can you please post. Remember to include the income and any RP if applicable and the collection timer for resource buildings. Thank you all!

Building upgraded to level 10. Please remove the "task" to waste 300 gems on an Onyx Mine from the ToDo list. (Mine your own business).

I agree this should have a timer so that it doesn't just sit there in goals for people who aren't going to buy it.

I have a silly question, but I really want this "ore-ing to new heights" goal to disappear from my book.

I am about to upgrade my Wizard's Portal to level 6 (hopefully during the next MH / LB quest) which requires Onyx Blocks and Beams.
I know this is not technically a Level 10, but this is the max level of the Portal. Would it count towards this goal also?
Please...
Thanks.

Second question: Onyx Ores don't drop out of ponds and wells anymore, this is so sad...
Is it temporary during the Starry Situation event or will it be for good?

I'm only able to answer the First question: No, upgrading your Wizard's Portal to level 6 will not satisfy the Ore-ing to New Heights goal.
I just upgraded one of mine after the MH & still have Ore-ing.. in my Goalbook.

Trying to see if there's an "easy" option in my realm, but I guess it ultimately comes down to which building is "the most" upgraded- i'd like to complete it as well.

Good luck!

Thank you for taking the time to answer.
I think the easier option would be the Deep Mine as we probably all have them at level 9 already. The benefit is almost none (only 3 minutes collection time) but the cost is rather minimal if you have plenty of coins.

It all depends on what building you already have at Level 9. The Theater is also not too expensive, and level 10 will drop 1508 coins every 12 hours.

Good luck to you too!
