Castle Story 11/10: A Close Shave | event information on page 1

[kat_the_first]

I've gotten 1 every go through of my 9 farmhouses. Surprise, surprise, regular fangbeasts have returned with a vengeance (must have been on vacation last week, 'spawn rates are not adjusted')

I have 12 farmhouses out and am experiencing the same issue. Looking at the requirements on page one and considering how low the drop/spawn rates are, this one takes the prize on time intensive. Really considering giving it a miss, since it feels too much like hard work for a casual game...

I have 20 farmhouses. First time through one poodlebeast and one fangbeast. Second time through one poodlebeast and one fangbeast. This is a terrible spawn rate. Usually the farmhouses spawn at least 5 of whatever monster is required to slay for the event. It will take a lot more time and resources to get the necessary ribbons from the poodlebeasts.

Not sure how this will end up whether the event is doable or not.

I'm on step one of part 9, says put on a poodle show (make sure there are no monsters on your board) but everyone should be aware that when you tap the 'go' button it takes you to the Queens or Kings keep. I assume that means it happens when it's time collect the adventure you're on. If you were smart and kept it open the mushroom adventure is only 2 hrs wait. Hope this helps others. I have to wait about 15hrs for this next step. Good thing grooming shop still allows us to craft items.

I assume the ‘put on a poodle show’ is the name of the adventure to go on and as a reward for that adventure you get the hairy cat you have to defeat, which gives the hairball (if i read the goals correctly). Ill find out in about 2/3 hours when i reach goal 9

How do you spawn a PoodleSkunk? I thought I saw plots, but so far I have only received regular skunkupines. Does anyone know?

Once you reach Goal 10, PoodleSkunk will spawn from corn, as per Page 1 info

10 Harvest Corn (A snack for Croquembouche.) 1
10 Defeat a Poodleskunk (Hiding near your Plots!) 1
10 Gather Beast Brushes (From defeating Poodleskunks!) low is 8, high is 12
10 Prepare a Trimming Kit (Made in the Magic Forge!) 1

The real adventure, so to speak, is the Faerie Styling Kit which takes place in the Style Shop. It is here that you get the chance to win the Poodle Faerie, the Pink Poodle, the White Poodle, the Blue Poodle, and the Poodle Pup. Good luck!

I was able to spawn a poodle skunk from cabbage as well prior to goal 10 (Figured I?d clear some to plant corn to be ready)
EDIT: & wheat

Ahhh i thought the faerie styling kit was needed to go on the poodle show!

I 100% agree. Played for years, can?t advance beyond level 50. Can?t send messages to friends. It seems like it?s rigged to make you waste resources and spend $$$. The last event, I needed jewels. I have THREE jewelers and they kept coming up with NO JEWELS. AND I have hundreds of friends. When I have to ask the community for items, it takes days to get 20 (or whatever) items. I?m frustrated with the way things are now and considering punting it permanently. I stopped playing for a while only to see that it?s even worse now.

We need 3 Bubble Fairies, from Bubble Trees, to make the Kit. So, chopping 4 Bubble Trees gave me 2 Bubble Fairies. I just have to ask, WHY?. Why, is it ALWAYS LIKE THIS LATELY? Why must it cost us so much money, and so much work, for so LITTLE RETURN?

What is the purpose for this, other than to make us spend money, be aggravated, annoyed and frustrated beyond belief! I just don?t understand this. Is S8 deliberately trying to get us to quit? It seems to me that we high level players, I?ve been Level 50 for along time now, are consistently putting in huge amounts of time, energy and money, for little in return. Yes, the things are cute, but cute isn?t a substitute for quality, consistent game play.

I?m very disappointed in S8 for quite some time now. Everything is MONEY lately. No thought seems to be given to giving, we the game players, a quality, not quantity, experience anymore.

I REALLY miss the Old Game days of fun, a bit of a challenge and NOT CONSTANTLY having to buy Trees, Rocks, etc, to chop, collect, etc and be told, ?you can?t hold anymore of this item? and NOT GET the item we?re trying to get.

A little more thought to quality of play would be GREATLY APPRECIATED S8!!!
