Posted by Lavenderdale: That doesn't sound right. I have a level 1 and a level 3 sparkling mine and when I check the pair I always end up with 1 tassel (never two, though.)
Have you made a pink lantern and a green lantern in your workshop? It should NOT matter, but crafting a blue is not available for the first time until you craft a green.
I am beyond that point. I already made a blue lantern, but I have not received any blue tassels since then. My sparkling mines will be ready soon. Fingers crossed!
UPDATE: I just collected from both sparkling mines. Still no blue tassels!
