So at Day 8, we need 15 Spells of Aegaeon to upgrade, then 30 more for the three Marble Thrones. Currently I am at 27, so only 18 more to go. Seems doable with four fountains. My columns and beams and crowns are done. My day turns over at midnight (California) so I will send out the neighbor requests and hopefully they will all be in by morning. Or I will stay up way too late and start visiting if my storybooks come in. I have a lot of generous neighbors who are awake when I am asleep, and vice versa.
Forgive me if anyone else has already posted this but... I get to chapter 9 tomorrow morning. I have a method for neighbor requests that usually works for me. I go into the News area and I screenshot the 20 entries there. Usually at least 14 of them are my neighbors. I've also been taking screenshots as people request items from me, because that means they're relatively active. I send my requests to all neighbors in those screenshots. Then I wait about 30 minutes (or as soon after that as I can) and I select all of my neighbors and send again. It won't send to the ones that you sent earlier because of the algorithm.
Anyway, that increases my odds, and I usually have them all filled within a couple of hours.
Hope that helps.
I selectively picked 20 neighbours who I know will respond quickly and then I went back and sent all all. I don't think it only chooses the first 20 as a lot of responses came from the second batch. Personally I've never had issues with neighbour requests as once I've sent out responses I close my game for an hour or so and come back to check for other responses or wait overnight depending on the time. Given the vast majority of requests magically turn up at reset time I respond to those and then they drip feed in. I do force close when I leave and I never ever visit someone to sync my game. I don't know why it doesn't work the same for everyone... I know neighbour requests have always been problematic.
I'll ask if we can do something different for next time we have this event format, perhaps 10-15 responses instead of 20.
That would be great SW. Thank you.
I have done lots of adventures and have 4 Greek fountains. It looks as though everything will be possible, in fact I feel this morning (Good Friday) like I only need to come in four hourly to collect from the fountains.
So keep seeking the lightning thief!
Since I started a day behind, and a lot of my old neighbors don't play anymore, I was resigned to waiting for neighbor requests. Like several of you, I got 11/15 very quickly. I also remembered you get an extra "freebie" request from Stormie's Castle, So I turned around sent that one out, separately.
I *REALLY* liked the Community Visits step. I got to meet new people and added some active neighbors while winnowing my neighbor list. Weird, when I left the heart things were supposed to show who was active. Now it's backwards: people who haven't been on in 1-2 years have up to 3 hearts, and people I know are posting daily do not. Weird.
Official game play info is on the Storm8 Hub. Separately, the CastleStoryGuide WIKI offers main storyline info, but linked and cross-referenced on pages and tables as you would expect. Contributors are welcome.
Thanks to all that responded to my post about the fountains. They are now dropping multiples for me, yay! I don't believe they did until today; however, I see the horizon lol.
Good luck all, K♡
