Castle Story 8/1: Hot Off the Presses | event info on page 1

[Tealantern]

When the bloodhound is won from the adventure, does it show up in the prize screen with the photos, or does it drop as a little dog icon directly from the castle?

[bfstone]

I was hoping the 1 singular crown issue would be fixed by the time most of you got to that milestone but unfortunately it wasn't. I reported it yesterday to S8.

I just reported it, too. One crown?! I even stupidly used one gem to speed up collection to win it since I am only playing for the crowns. Laaaaaaaaaaame!

If any low level player is further along, I would welcome information on the next goals.[/QUOTE]

Goal 8:
Thurston's story 4
Ivy's 4
Thomas's 4
Scandalous 4

In goal 9 there will not be any scandalous evidence needed, and probably 5 of each of the other or maybe six. I'm waiting on ivy's to upgrade to 5. But it won't be until later tonight unless I get lucky in an adventure.

Well, my bloodhounds first drop was 2075 coins.

Storm 8, thank you for always keeping it new. Today, while working on the event, I activated a Fast Worker boost. So my crafting time did speed up, but the total period doubled. That's how an Ivy cookbook took 4hours and a Thurston travel book took one hour. They doubled after I activated the boost, so that meant that, in the end, i got them in normal time, I just wasted some runes to get absolutely nothing. So great job, keep it up, just loving it!

[Destiel0918]

1 crown price- WOW!

[meme1098]

Well, my bloodhounds first drop was 2075 coins.

I've collected several times & nothing but coins! So what's the use of even trying to get one if it's supposed to be a *prize*? I'm totally confused.
1 crown as an individual prize & a bloodhound that drops nothing but coins? You can do way better, s8!

[SofiaDeo]

I got all three goals today. But I really dislike the new format for the chest rewards.

Also I don't really like the new items with the modern dressed faerie. They don't go with my fantasy themed kingdom at all.

I agree about the modern dress faerie; this is Castle Story!

[Wellara]

If any low level player is further along, I would welcome information on the next goals.

Thanks!
Really appreciate the info. It is good to know exactly how much crafting lies ahead.
