Castle Story: 02/20/2014 Update The Blythewood Sapling Part 1

[Aggwynn]

Hi All!

Darn, we spoiled some of the goodies a day early, but there are a few things you haven't seen yet

Here is today's update:


1) The Blythewood Sapling Part 1
-As promised we are continuing the main storyline
-To start this quest you must be Level 30+ and unlocked Mythic Essence
Summary: Old Thomas reaches out to a long-time friend. A letter arrives that may split the Kingdom in half. A life is saved and welcomed into the Kingdom.

Quest Chain:
Dear Agnes
Gift Of Wonder
Can't Fool The Ladies
Four Page Letter
Dear Agnes Part 2
The Blythewood Sapling
To Be Selfless, No Matter The Cost


2) The Greenhouse
-We added 3 new crafts: Floral Glow, Vital Extract, and Faerie Elixir
-Combine Floral Glow and Vital Extract together to create Faerie Elixir!

3) Mermaid Pond
-Drops Water and Mermaid Scales more reliably
-A little story on this... What Glimmergate and I originally had in mind was a small fountain that would drop Mermaid Scales. But we mulled it over and decided it wasn't going to be good enough. So, creativity took over and the final product is the beautiful pond with a mermaid statue coming out of the water that you see now. We hope you guys enjoy it!

4) Max Level Raised to 50
-YES! It's real! Congratulations to everyone that leveled up! Thank you for playing Castle Story! We really enjoy working on the game and we hope you're having fun
-Energy Rewards: Available to players that reached Levels 33, 36, 40, 45, and 50
Check your Quest Log and open up the congratulatory quest(s)! Read through it and then hit "Accept" when you ready. Then, go into your Inventory to place the Energy Crate you received from completing the quest. Chop down the Energy Crate and pick up the Energy reward!


For next week, The Blythewood Sapling Part 2 will be released.
And don't forget, "something blue, times two!" - The Mermaid Pond was just one of the blue things released this month


-Aggwynn and Glimmergate

We don't lower droprates of items like that. I actually just raised the Manticore Whisker droprate the other day to compensate for the fact that we're asking for them more often. Keep collecting - you may have just run into a spot of bad luck

Thank you shipower (and maguar) so much for the peek ahead! My chateau is in storage due to lack of space, as I try to compromise my design as little as possible. Time to swap it out so it is ready for collection... Now to find a different coin-only building to store instead.

Thanks

Energy Crates, that's innovative :-)

So is the mermaid pond only a gem buy or is it attainable from the sapling quest line, I wonder?

As of right now the only way of obtaining a Mermaid Pond is through purchase from the Market. If we make updates to it, we will let you all know =)

Thank you Aggwynn for clarifying that. I'm a newbie on this forum, my level says 44 nearing 45. Reading all posts so far thought maybe the outcome of this quest that gives an output with the 3x3 requirement .. Maybe we get the mermaid pond as quest reward but that's not true

Super excited to see how this turns out .. Thanks
