I will not comment on the previous (3 pages) posts, I think it is time to stick to this thread's subject.

2431 sun stones until now, but my 5 manticores' drop rate dwindled from 5 to 2 or 3, however it is better than nothing
Got my 9th brasier this morning
Waiting for tent (2 minutes left ) to collect while am posting here
Ok no brasier this time but I am at 37 flags
With 8 days left I am sure the last brasier will drop ( crossing both hands' fingers, and both legs' toes lol )
Good luck everyone

Playing daily since 2012. Level 50. I also pay for gems. Have completed all quests, have all buildings, 6 manty, 6 Ali, 2200 sun stones. Need 8 braziers. For me forum is part of the game. PLEASE keep opinions coming whether positive or negative. I love the complaining and rebuttals. I agree with some, all or none. For me part of the fun is the passion people have for this game. Keep it on! This is what a community is, diversity in opinions but one common goal.

I think this is a fun event! Not too stressful (don't get me wrong, I do like the final prize, but I won't be too sad if I don't get it) but plenty to do! I have all the braziers but I'm still missing 16 flags. I'm quite sure I'm going to get them in time. For now I have 1852 sunstones, again, I'm almost positive I'm going to get enough of them before the time runs out

Still not getting any braziers. Have had 2 in the last 5 days.

Yup - me too. I fact, I got a brazier and then my game synch'd - so I had to click the tent again, and the drop changed: no brazier. This has been a few times in this quest.

I'm slowly working towards maxing in these sort of items. Updates like these have enabled me to increase my stock I'm on around 80 fancy blocks with all this rock cropping!

I am a hoarder of materials - really am, but with this quest, I'm focussing on little else but the stones... And seem to still not collect much. So, in the spirit of intermittent (quest oriented OCD), I hope to get back on the straight of supply hoarding and development again. Stock hasn't gone up since making stones, and no coal and stuff to make gems and other supplies.

One day...

I too am enjoying this event. Not too stressful, and I like the go-team-go aspect of the community working together for the prize.
I know everyone is stressing about drop rates but for me everything have been fine. Braziers were a bit slow at first, but
I currently have 12 braziers in stock - and I'm just 4 flags shy of fully completing my Sun Tent to level 7.
so... woohoo! I am also about 2 hours away from getting the 4th prize.

In the midst of all this I've also been plugging away at the Sigh Sister quest... Ooops - i mean Sinister Sister... OOPS! I mean sister-sister... LOL
And actually - i think this event has helped on that front!
When the little Griselda quest update came on Thursday asking for 10 glimmertrap plants, I thought hmmm... Maybe this means I will start getting more of the OTHER plants (since that is always the perception with drops -- as soon as you NEED something it seems you get it less, just because you are suddenly paying attention to it!)
Sure enough - YES! I now have 14 pitcher-plants in stock -- those have been the most challenging for me for Sister-Sister. I now only need 5 more inscriptions and I will be DONE! This should happen in the next few weeks. So... YAY! Thank you Pyre festival - even if it is just a matter of perception.

Happy Sun-Stone Searching everyone!
