Castle Story: 12/4/2014: 12 Days of Christmas Part 1

[zenobia42]

I only have 3 hides left after my Trapper Trade earlier today and I just collected from my stable---no hide drops at all. Do they lower these drop rates during events like this, or is it just random bad luck? 'Cause I don't know if I'll be able to get 20ish hides in less than a day or so with cruddy drop rates

And does anyone know if the 'reward' for completing all these goals will be like the Thanksgiving event with a Bountiful Table? Or are these just goals that give out gems/coins/xp and no 'prize' at the end?

I *almost* did a trapper trade this morning. Then I remembered it's Thursday and held back. Events pretty much always need hides. And other "rare" drops. So things like hide, fur, bones, creep teeth, rat tails, roast chickens, sap, living wood, silver, jewels, piles of seeds, fertilizer, and wool (which is 100% from sheep but with only 4 sheep would take a long time to re-stock)... I try to have a good stock of those ready.

My guess is we get a decoration at the end - a partridge in a pear tree. Which I would like.

Aw man! I gave all my silver away for the Rich Windbag Caravan. Why can't there be silver rich rocks?

--Guess I'll just buy some formations, but I'm kicking myself because I JUST gave them away yesterday.

Ps. My drums aren't showing up in my workshop. Have already force close. Will wait a bit

ETA: ok drums showed up...ugh have to stop making expansion wisps and lanterns, boo hoo

I'm not familiar with your kingdom ...

but the coconut reference is almost verbatim from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.


GUARD: Where did you get the coconuts?

ARTHUR: We found them!

GUARD: Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical!

"Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?"

I was just being silly...my RL kingdom is Hawaii.
