Castle Story: 12/10 Update - Holiday Workshop EXPIRED

[sourp4tch]

Greetings to all across the land! In the spirit of giving, kingdoms far and wide are searching for things to present to their friends and loved ones. Festivities begin with the finding of the perfect items, but then there is the matter of wrapping! Thankfully, we sometimes can find help with that part!

[==Update requires Level 15+ to participate, and is available from 12/10 to 12/21 @ 4pm.==]

Spoiler: show

I've been playing a game! Have you figured out this week's answer? The answer is: GIFT

---

Hey guys! I think I found the issue with the task to place a Gift Box, and am working to get the fix tested and pushed out.

In the meantime, that task should still work if you place the Gift Box received from the Mystery Gift Box craft - however, you must place the Gift Box immediately after the task completes. Do not store the item first, as that may cause the task to not complete.

RESOLVED

Alright, the fix is live! I confirmed on my account that placing a Gift Box out of your inventory completes Task 2 of "Chocolate Giftwrapping?"

Additionally, we went ahead and removed the task button, so that it doesn't contribute to any confusion as to how to complete that task.

Thanks for your patience everyone! I hope you enjoy the rest of the event

More pics

[meme1098]

2 new crafts in the work shop

Won't let me upload pics for some reason.

The snowmen orbs are obtained from chopping mystery gift boxes.

The pic above doesn't show the text above the first craft:
"Get 1 of 6 new decorations for your kingdom"

With my luck I'll get the poinsettias every time....lol

[paisdelasmaravillas]

Ivi and Thomas gives 4 chocolate coins each time
Each cottage gives one jingle bells each time

[Anaboe]

Too bad I just collected from Ivy's a few hours ago...

[meme1098]

Too bad I just collected from Ivy's a few hours ago...

And I didn't think to put out any cottages this morning. Oh well...I'll probably end up with nothing but poinsettias anyway with my luck...lol

****Okay, I've had to force close to get the ribbons to show up in the workshop. ****

Thanks to all my great nbrs, I have 12 already

[newpam575]

You can gift ribbons and the felt and leaves are now removed.

[Guardian452]

Anyone know how we are suppose to be able to request additional Holiday Ribbons?

[Sandybellee]

How can I ask more ribbons from neighbors? I already got one and now I can't ask for more through the goal. I didn't send many requests because the goal asked for just one, but then noticed the text says we need a lot of it.
