If you do the 3 daily goals and get 3 chests a day, you can always craft the 3 prizes in the atrium. I didn't get the last of the yellow faeries till the last day this time (was 1 short) so only needed 1 chest to complete that component of the goals. You can really only afford to miss 1 day though to collect enough faeries for the 3rd craft. Sorry if you missed out this time...
Clara looks so unsettling and creepy with her bobbing. Her hairs fine but plz stop her bobbing like that and make her smaller
Warning! Long post is long!! My first St. Patrick's I couldn't reach level 17 in time to buy the little waterfall. But after that I could do events. Trouble is, I was short on coins, and at the time you needed around 100k coins to buy the consumables for an event. No idea what that costs now, but my first two events I was poor and at the end couldn't rationalize spending my entire bank. But after sitting out an event or two, I found out that events are a necessary expense and conserved coins for them.
I focused on the Main Storyline until I noticed that (a) many storyline rewards are only a few hundred coins, and (b) Events are where you can get super-helpful new things. Two years ago there was no such thing as an Expansion Permit drop, and now we have a couple. Yeah, the energy droppers are not as much as I'd like, I have several that only give 2, lol. But I have some event items that drop 2200-2800 coins per round.
Not to mention some Main Storyline Goals are monstrous drains, like the Skunkupine (500k coins!) or the Baron's Birthday (1M coins I think!) The two big "upgrade" quests are likewise time and money sinks. (Only one of the buildings actually Needs an upgrade to level 5 for a different quest.) So I had to choose to leave some quests hanging undone in my kingdom log, which made me twitch, lol.
I won't argue that being Level 50 and having heavier requirements for events feels taxing. (I was still getting "low" requirements at 42, can't recall when I switched to high.) But levelling up affects two things up front: more energy per two hours and more farming plots. By level 19 you have reached the highest automatic energy refill per two hours, which is 40. Farming plots increase by 1 every level from 9 to 29, taking you from 30 to 50 plots. The final 10 plots trickle in from levels 30 to 50, with 60 total.
And certain quests have level requirements. Advanced questlines kick in at level 30+.
Teika's advice is solid. The two Wizard Schools bought with gems are the BEST investment you can make in this game, and I say that as someone who spends more time than RL cash. They start out dropping 6 energy every 5 hours, and you can level them up until they drop 10 energy every 4 hrs 20 mins. It's priceless.
A CRUCIAL item for getting Trade Tickets (to at least save for your Tinker Camp and Chateau) is DON'T PICK GLIMMERBULBS, i.e., Magic Garden Storyline. The easiest/cheapest trade, 25 Strawberries and 5 Sugar, goes away when you get glimmerbulbs, and then another is removed later (probably due to Magic Fruit.) Avoid harvesting a Glimmerbulb and work the basic Fruit Trade as long as you can!
I still haven't bought the Cabbage Hut yet, but from reading the monthly threads it seems that fewer good droppers are on there. I could be wrong. I ended up spending gems on some cheap half-price Doorbuster alicorns (aquatic and aquamarine), with small (4+) energy drops *daily* (and occasional windfalls), which worked with my budget and play style. Until Black Friday when I went berserk and bought many things, lol.
It's a fun game and great community, I hope you enjoy it!

My Banshee just gave me an expansion permit!
For those that got the Banshee, are the drops worth it? I try to get everything that drops expansion permits/trade tickets but i'm 20-some yellow fairie thingies short. It's available in my Atrium until 6 pm and I would be willing to buy gems to get it, if you all think it's worth it...?
