[asikosan]

SW, dear, did you hear any news?
Im still having problem with my main account.
I did check my inventory and did force- closed my game - still nothing - i cant buy the bulb and i dont have it saved in my storage.
Do i have to reinstall my game?

ps. just want to thank TL for giving us such a beautiful drawn bulb and letting us have two of them (for zero gems)

maybe your accnt is maxed on buildings! sell one and see! Pika helped me

Hi there, looking for help please! I currently have only the magic collaboration goal to do and it says to place the fairie bulb. Went to inventory and found it but it is locked. I have no other goals. I found at the beginning that there is a goal to place the sapling and did it but no goal so nothing is happening. Any ideas what may have happened? Thanks!

Have you finished Part A goals? The Bulb is in the Building tab. can you double check and post again please.

The bidding booth now seems to alternate between dropping jewels or living wood. About 50% chance of getting living wood

My bidding booth must be blonde in spirit as well:
tried lots now, and only got jewels.....

...i still have the goal "lets try that again", but i plant my 2 blythwood trees.
but the goal reset 2times. i have skipped the goals before and now no more bwt to plant


dont read the 23 sides, if thats a known bug.

I don't think it's known...That sounds like a bug to me
Edit: Maybe some nice TL/S8 staff on patrol here could answer this question?

Edit 2: I have a neigbor with a slightly different blythewood tree glitch. The tree disappeared from the Queendom in question, only to end up fully grown in inventory... For all players with suspected tree/bulb glitches/bugs, better check out inventory very thoroughly...

Is there any tree 'best' for gaining living wood?

No, all trees have the same drop rate of living wood, supposedly
Edit: Dead trees, old logs and plant in a log do not drop living wood at all. Blythewood trees seem to have a very low living wood drop rate...

I got as far as Regal Ramifications and the next goal of Let's Try It Again never appeared. I only have Magic Collabration sitting in my goals and the Fairie Bulb is locked in my market. I hope you can assist.

Have you checked the buildings tab in your inventory. This is the most confusing thing about this goal! People think they get the bulb from the Market when it's actually in your inventory under the buildings tab!

**** SW...You may need to put this info on the first page in giant red letters....lol. Players are so confused about this & the question keeps popping up just about everyday.

Someone else mentioned this and I have tried it, the drop rate seems to get lower when your inventory is depleted. Living wood was scarce, only seeing 1 drop from my living tree. So I have held off my OCD and now have 60+ stockpiled without crafting another fairy sap. And the latest visit to the living tree dropped 3.

So I am a believer, drop rates always seem to bottom out on what we need. S8 sez it doesn't change drop rates. Maybe that is because they don't change the algorithm that already reduces drops for low inventory items?
