Castle Story: 12/11/2014: 12 Days of Christmas Part 2

tigarlilyvol, thanks for skipping and sharing!

I'm w/Sunny on this one. Question:would it be completely moronic of me to upgrade (or at least try to) my deep mine in hopes of getting the two more gold nuggets I need??? Or should I just buy a ****load of gems in case it's cheaper/easier to buy out or skip. And does that count as *****ing? I'll shut up now y'all have your own problems & choices to make. Please be brutally honest, I can take it. Thanks, Ash

A higher level mine will not increase drop chances, just drop rate as the timer is shorter.

I got the majority of my 80 nuggets from chopping rocks, like a crazy woman, for goals in the past that needed vast amounts of silver. I have got very few from sparkling/deep mines. It's obviously a rare drop, but you can get them from the exchange too (got a few when trying desparately for mithril for all those mithril-requiring goals!). Basically mine are all just a by-product of trying for other things, so it's actually nice to have a use for them!

We're looking into the issue with the Winter Wall, thanks for your patience!

I got a lot of my nuggets from the exchange too. Did you just chop regular rock formations or dark rock formations when you got other nuggets? I have a lot of regular rock formations but only 2 dark rock formations from quests. I kinda like to save them for when I am low on things like iron and silver and I'm full on both those right now and I don't want to waste it. I'm super paranoid about that haha

If you can upgrade the mine without it completely draining your resources, I say go for it. It can only make every mineral related challenge easier. Also, it's absolutely not *****ing if you choose to skip missions; some times it's just strategically smart. No shaming on TL boards!

Heya! Upgrading your mines is super expensive....I would not reccomend it unless you have just a bunch of magic cement just wasting space in your inventory.....lol
For 35 gems you can try your luck w/ a dark cave formation...a possible nugget drop as mentioned above.

The last option is geming thru your goal book. Make as many as you can, press give, then gem the rest.
Wait until you get a sale to buy gems, even if it takes a few days....truly no hurry on this one, it doesn't seem worth it.


Overall I see the whole point of this...the sooner you get the gift mound or whatever it's called, the more 2 day drops you can click.(~10) I'll wait and see exactly what it drops before spending Any gems...it is a useless decoration in 3 weeks.

I'm really disappointed. As a low level player (19) I enjoyed the challenge of part 1 but it was all for nothing. I have only ever received 1 gold nugget, so it doesn't seem possible to start, never mind finish part 2. What a waste of all the time spent on part 1

....Unless anyone has a sure fire way to get 4 nuggets in the next 5 hours?????
