I?m working on goal 9 and I have enough torches to finish the remaining samples for this goal. Can you or anyone else confirm we do NOT need torches after this goal?

I am sorry but I am not sure. Hopefully someone else can answer you.

I really hope ice cream spires and watchtowers will work.

I really hope ice cream spires and watchtowers will work.

I hope that Haunted Watchtowers count as they are 1X1, and don't take up as much room as the others. I just put all mine out. Hope they work.

Step 12 needs 600 Diamondhead flower buds.

I’m suddenly suuuuper happy that I got 3,327,873.6 ice cream cottages, towers, and spires. If anyone can confirm the ice cream towers and spires work, that would be greatly appreciated.

The first of 3 Stone Gnome Statues in the featured section of the market has been unlocked. It is a decorative stone statue which can be purchased for 70 gems. Pretty steep for a statue that drops nothing. But perhaps among us are those who love gnome statues. My mother-in-law's garden was loaded with stone gnomes.

Still no gold nugget. I have decided to call it quits on this event.

S8, it seems incredibly unfair to require a rare item at the very beginning of the event. It is one thing for the optional adventures but completely different to be the gatekeeper to an entire event.

Best of luck to the other players.

(The gold mine sounds nice, I hope it comes back to the market at some point.)

I may be giving the benefit of the doubt, but I would consider looking at it this way: In the past, events have called for gold nuggets toward the end after people have spent thousands of energy, setting alarms, using up all of their resources.

Players requested that such roadblocks be up front so that people don't get so close to the end and then realize they're missing a hard-to-come-by ingredient. They felt trapped. If you don't have two nuggets on hand or the resources that provide them now, you likely won't make it through and better to figure that out now than after sleepless nights.

The first year or so of this game I could never finish events, or I had to spend a ton of gems to be able to. That's par for the course. Maybe it'd be worth them looking at a model of making the events more accessible, but I think that for now, they are geared for advanced players.
