I'm not 100% sure because I skipped the crafting the spell scroll part because I didn't have the materials to make one. I'm pretty sure it said "craft a spell scroll" which is different than collecting. Good luck. I would also plant plant plant as many crops as you can. Never leave a farm empty! One of the first challenges I did around Christmas time I had to spend gold to buy food. From then on I always made sure I never dropped under 55,000 apples or food. I know it's hard to do when you're at a lower level but it will get easier as you level up.
