Castle Story event 1/18 - What's Eating Baron's Grapes?

[riverly]

arent these side goals optional? it just helps out a bit but doesn't mean much if they expire? I know in my game they say something to that effect

yes. They are optional. I was fortunate to have monsters spawn when I needed them and to have some trees ready, so thus I did them.
In my opinion, for the late starters , if you want to do the side goals, you better just take a step back and just concentrate on collecting grapes.
I'm letting the later sidegoals expire.

First Fruit Basket trade: 5060 Coins and 1 Water. Seriously? After all that work!

Do the trades give trade tickets? If so, this would be a useful addition to the game, and I might save for the tree.

My Vineyard pergola drops only green grapes - for 7 chops :-(
I dislike "S8 random items" - I need purple grapes too :-(
(And golden, but I know, golden is very rare.)

I cannot seem to get purple grapes. My timed event for grape cider is going to run out because it is not giving me purple grapes at all!!! I completely understand random drops from things like trees but Random drops from something you can only collect from every two hours is frustrating.

Just want to chime in that monsters are not spawning for me . Zero. No other monsters on my game. I've used at least 100 energies, tried various spawning actions (crops, animals, buildings, flowers, etc. ) and Nothing.


Can the Mod ask the developer team to look into this. Seems this is an issue for us. Thanks!

Ditto. Was getting beasts all over the place the past couple of weeks. Since this event started, TWO.

Goal 6 = Complete !!!! 10 !!!! Gift Basket Trades.
If i did the calculations right, this will take:

70 Green Grapes
30 Purple Grapes
200 Pears
60 Pear Cider
30 Grape Cider
90 Base Cider
540 Acer Berries
90 Cider Spices
750 Water
40 Fruit Baskets
30 Cider Baskets

My strategy is to focus on brewing the ciders when possible.
Set Timers on Pear Tree & Vineyard Tree & Vineyard Pergola.
Chop and grow acer trees as much as possible
Keep my water level high enough since it takes 750!

Since monsters spawn from chopping trees and gathering water from wells / ponds i do not focus on farmhouses just yet.
Maybe the last 7 days, but first see how it goes the first week......

I hate to let chopped wood go to waste, so since the cap is 99 for wood, i make a lot of Fancy Beams (10 wood) / Living wood (20 wood) / Builder's Paste (25 wood) during this event.

When an event requires to chop rocks, i make Fancy Blocks..........

Best regards,

Anyone noticed a sudden lack in beasts all of a sudden now the goal has started? Usually I end up wasting energy as boars and fangs are constantly popping up when I am chopping or collecting on a normal day. Tried to do the timed fight 5 fangbeasts goal; used up my entire energy and not even one spawned!!
(And no, I didn't have another beast sat somewhere. I triple checked before starting!)

Spawning skunkupines or fangbeasts are difficult for me too, but I spawn lots of dire boars by my wells and they give cider spices as well

I did my first golden fruit trade, got some coins, bacon and
grape masher thingy (5 chops, a chance for purple petal or water)

I've had one skunk that I got from a tree. I've had no fangs or boars from any of the usual places. Nothing at all!! Really, really annoyed at this quest already!!
