Hi All,

Here is today's update!

- Complete this quest line to unlock a new trade in the Royal Exchange called: "Trade With The Fruit Farmers"
- "Trade With The Fruit Farmers" drops a variety of fruits including Apples, Oranges, and Lemons

2) Monster Traps (Skunkupine Trap and Fangbeast Trap)
- Instantly spawn a monster!
- Traps can be purchased in the Market and will spawn a monster when chopped

NOTES:
- WE DID NOT ADJUST spawn rates of these monsters. This is an optional way for players to quickly spawn monsters if they wish to do so.
- Monster will not spawn IF THERE IS ALREADY A MONSTER IN YOUR KINGDOM

will the fruit trade have a % chance of dropping golden apples?

[Queenzod]

1. What's with all the fruit? I put away my glimmerbat b/c I'm always maxed out on fruits. I don't need more fruit opportunities.
2. Who wants to spawn a fangbeast and have your energy stolen? The skunkupine I can understand a little more, but I thought the rattail problem was addressed with the new Mr. Stinky. And we need trolls for essence. Why aren't they included?

I'm bummed. I wanted something NEW, not more of the same stuff I don't need!

Okay, sorry to complain, but I'm not sure I'll even do these ones. I'm confused as to whats going on here. This game is getting way tedious for longtime players. Poopies.

Maybe I need to go eat some fruit and calm down.

Hey Queenzod,

1) Not everyone has fruits =( You're ahead of the pack!
2) There are players out there that need help with finding Fangbeasts and Skunkupines. This is for them.
3) We have big story arc for the Trolls, we will not release any Troll Traps =)

You're ahead Queenzod =) We have lots in store for elder players. Stay tuned!

Hey Queenzod,


3) We have big story arc for the Trolls, we will not release any Troll Traps =)

!

Hopefully this means a pet troll rather than just diminishing our troll appearance rate for an upcoming story arc where we need lots of trolls to appear.
I am enjoying the new none time limited updates, but how about making these level dependant whilst adding new levels.

[pattipenguin]

Thank you for the update! I really appreciate all the different challenges!

[manu90ela]

Thanks for the update! I hope this new trade will be easy in order to do it very often and get a lot of trade tickets. I need another 14 expansion permits!
