Castle Story 10/4: Sweet Surprises (Halloween event) | info on page 1

[ladlasse]

The magic potion shop had terrible drops for me at the beginning. I got one pop after 5 tries. Then it took at least 7 more before I received my second pop. After that it seemed to do better,

The magic forge isn't quite as bad, but I just collected and happily received 1 Mithral pop from each forge. Then the game reset. I collected again and revived 0 Mithral pops. Bummer.

I do like this event. Different things to do, very few monsters to fight, not continual chopping, etc. I agree that the final prize should be better than a walker that gives nothing. The bat probably would have been a better choice for final prize.

My tomb has only given me a few coins with each collection.

While I like the daily challenges for treat bags and the similar ones the last few events, I think the "good prizes" are too random. This time I've only received pops I didn't need. In previous events, I didn't receive any of the animals or expansion permits or explorer permits. If the same people are getting these each event, maybe S8 should change their randomness formula. I think each of us who play and complete all these daily tasks should get something good at least once during the event.

Overall one of the best events S8 has had in a while.

I just started my Headless horseman craft. It was an interesting event. I agree with most of you that I don't enjoy the random drops, but I do appreciate not having to wait for Ivy drops.

I also liked the variety in this even. The repetitive dialog for the side community events has to go

Fed 27 animals got 1 acer pop...this is a twisted joke. Thought it was Halloween not April fools

I agree about the repetitive dialog, so I just press on the skip dialog button after the first day. Gets me to the goal part much quicker.

My magic forge is so disappointing....probably not even 50%....such of waste of resources and time...only to start again and yield nada. I was liking this event until now...once again I’m wondering why I even bother. I doubt I will get my headless horseman...time is running out��

A

I agree ? I?m stuck on part 8. I?ve ****ed 4 or 5 dire boars and at least 10 fang beasts. So far only 3 lemon pops and time is runn8ng out so I don?t see any way of completing at this point and I?m not buying my way thru this one like I have before. I keep thinking I?m missing something or not getting the right kind of monsters? Castle Story is losing its appeal...

I had the best drop with bats from rock outcropping. You might try that.

Same here
bad drops with forge and potion shop
And no cool special animals that drop permits only the black unicorn which gives trade tickets which is great but I need so many of them

The Magic Forge is the new Ivy's Hut except that with the latter, you'd only collect twice a day with an assurance of a drop.

With the Forge, I'm getting like one drop every two forge collections but because I'm fully stocked with most of the one, two or three-hour items, I'm forced to find ways to use those items or forge items with longer waiting times. Why haven't the Elves been asking for swords, armours, living wood? I wouldn't mind emptying my hoard of these items to them.

It's energy draining, but buy rocks. Smashing them should mostly spawn bats, though you'll get the odd dire boar. Bats seem to be a guaranteed drop, so worth the effort. When you get to feeding animals, feed pigs as they have th he highest rate.

My bottleneck was the potion shop. The rest has been ok. I've enjoyed the variety and it was even fun. But I'd like to raise a grumble that this will be the third or fourth event in a row where the really good prize is a random drop, not the main prize earned. This is very off putting.
