I got an ember and a dragon's egg early on after this went live, I've been sitting on a 2nd ember for about 3 weeks now. Finally, yesterday, I collected a second dragon's egg from the Forgotten Roost, so yes they are still dropping, and yes you can get multiple through normal gameplay.
I think it takes too long for the amber. I notice that I do not play with castle story so often anymore. Now with the new goals, where you have to sent your knights to adventures, it takes too long to make things in the kitchen. So I am not so fond of the game anymore.
For the raw materials I don't have a sheep so what do I do then ? The only option so far is to buy one I'm not buying one so what other options are there ?
I finally got my books but then realised I used up 5 mithril for the glimmergate quest so now don't have enough for the whisperweight net. I don't think I would do it (don't like to skip or speed up) but has anyone skipped making the whisperweight net? And if so, how does that affect the rest of the quest. Would you need to skip the bit where the net is used too? Apologies if this has been covered but I may have missed it when skimming through the thread.
Holy H-E-double hockey sticks am I getting tired of waiting for the burning ember to drop. I'm not one to complain because I typically don't mind rare drops (I've been playing this game since it first came out, so waiting for things keep it interesting) but I've been trying to get one for MONTHS now and not even one? It's getting frustrating. Plus, with the new Glimmergate quest requiring dragon scales to move forward I'm really beating my head against the wall. I have to wait forever for an ember, then wait days to finish hatching the egg, wait a day or two for the dragon to mature, then wait a good 10 days to collect enough of its scales (thats if it drops one every collect, which I doubt it will). When I saw that I wanted to crrrryyy. I guess this is my karma because I somehow ended up with 4 Alicorns (All summoned, none purchased) relatively quickly. Thankfully, with all the Halloween versions of TL games that came out in the last few weeks, and the gem motivators to install and give them a play I stocked up some gems, broke down and purchased a baby dragon with gems. Sigh. I'll keep trying to get that ember so I can hatch my egg the proper way, but I don't want to be stuck and unable to complete the Glimmergate quest until then.
You can make Mithril out of 60 silver at the Magic Forge (if you weren't aware). It takes 2 days though. Also, I have two deep mines that are fully upgraded and they drop Mithril pretty often. Or you can try the Jeweler's Trade at the Royal Exchange. I did that one a bunch of times during the early stages of the Glimmergate Quest and got Mithril a quite a few times from it!
Unfortunately I still only have 2 shards so can't craft mithril. I did get a few from the Jeweler's trade but now I am low on glimmerdust. I have 2 deep mines L1, was considering upgrading one to L2 but I read somewhere that a higher level mine doesn't necessarily drop better things? My mines only seem to give the usual stuff though, never adamant and maybe once or twice mithril. I might just have to keep working on jeweller's trades and hope I get mithril each time.
