Castle Story: 1/28 Update - The Blythewood Faeries, Part 3

[sourp4tch]

Glimmerwood antics have run rampant once more! Only this time, something far more nefarious may be at hand... No one has seen anyone suspicious about, have they? Ensuring the kingdom's safety is a ruler's top priority!!!

[==Update requires completion of A Faerie-ful Queen, and will be here to stay.==]

Spoiler: show

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

The description of the shimmering sands as posted by meme has been updated. Shimmering sands ONLY drop from the Magic Garden. They will NOT drop from the Plume Hive adventure.

My observation: seems to me the average wait time for a strand drop is around 5-7 collections. I think that's why we are getting a month to complete part 3 before part 4 starts end of Feb. The rest of the goal can be completed quite quickly if you're prepared. The goal just ends in limbo like the other parts. So bring on P4!

Goals:
1. Spritely Snooping
Follow Azalea among the flowers 0/10 (skip 20 gems) [fruit trees, faeriebed, all flowers, mushrooms, multi-coloured hedge]

Check a level 5 Faerie Bulb 0/5 (skip 50 gems)
Rewards: 1750 coin, 6 xp

2. Panic At The Plume Hive (collecting completes this goal)
Adventure to the Plume Hive

Requirements: 3 allergy potion, 5 smoked fish sandwich, 1 faerie offering

Allergy Potion - 2 hours - 1 vital extract, 2 sugar, 1 apple
Vital Extract - 2 hours - 5 piles of seeds, 15 mushrooms, 3 living wood
Smoked Fish Sandwich - 1 hour - 1 bread, 1 butterfish, 5 cabbage
Faerie Offering - 4 hours - 3 cake, 15 jewels, 15 silver

Rewards: 390 coin, 3 xp

3. Anyone home?
Search for clues at the Magic Garden. (It may take several trips to complete this step. 1-2 shimmering strands drop). When the strands drop, the completed rewards screen appears.

Examine the Shimmering Strands 0/1 - Magic Forge, 4 hours - 5 shimmering strands, 20 faeries murmur, 30 glimmer shards (the green ones)
Check on Fwipple (collect from a faerie bulb)
Rewards: 1750 coin, 6 xp
Note: it takes 5 strands from the magic garden to do the craft to examine the strands. This is going to take a long time!
Note: it was posted that the examination goal may have only produced blythedust, so for the hoarders, you may want to only get extra shimmering strands and not do 2 crafts.

5. Threatening Threads
Take Fwipple and Preedle to safety 0/3 (visit Sabina's house)
Rally the Knights! TO ARMS! 0/1 (go on any adventure) returning and collecting completes this goal.
Have Level 5 Watchtowers or Lantern Spires 0/4 update: you need to HAVE 4 of these at level 5. It is not collecting from as previously thought. Thank you sourp4tch for letting us know.

6. A Potion From, And For, The Past
Chop down 5 Blythewood trees 6 chops each. you can have 1 chop left in preparation (worked for me!).... SW
Prepare the Fadeprint Elixir 0/1 - Potion Shop, 8 hours - 50 water, 10 enchanters essence, 50 Blythewood Dust
Check the Fur Burrow 0/1 (go on adventure) returning and collecting completes this goal.

Rally the Knights! TO ARMS! 0/1 (go on any adventure) need to know if it's send or return ???

....

Check the Fur Burrow 0/1 (go on adventure) again, is it the sending or completing? It's usually collecting... Please confirm... SW

It looks like we might have till the end of Feb to do this goal. So, take your time! SW.

Confirming all of the above It's "return" for both adventure tasks!

[sourp4tch]

Have Level 5 Watchtowers or Lantern Spires 0/4 (collect from these 4 times. You can have more than 1 at level 5 to speed things up, but 1 tower/spire will do. SW )

Hey everyone!

This behavior is inconsistent with how the quest is supposed to be set up - it is supposed to be have Level 5 Watchtowers/Lantern Spires, not to collect from Watchtowers/Lantern Spires.

I'd hate for folks to spend resources on upgrading their buildings, only to have those efforts be in vain Likewise, I wouldn't want you guys to spend gems on speed-ups expecting it to complete the task, only for it to revert later (in the event there's some weird bug going on). So, can anyone who's unable to complete the quest by having 4x Level 5 Watchtowers and/or Lantern Spires please write in to support@storm8.com ? This will help us make sure everything is working properly and no one gets bugged out of their quest completion!

Thanks! Hope you all enjoy the quests and story <3

6. A Potion From, And For, The Past
Chop down 5 Blythewood trees 6 chops each. you can have 1 chop left in preparation (worked for me!).... SW
Prepare the Fadeprint Elixir 0/1 - Potion Shop, 8 hours - 50 water, 10 enchanters essence, 50 Blythewood Dust
Check the Fur Burrow 0/1 (go on adventure) returning and collecting completes this goal.

It looks like we might have till the end of Feb to do this goal. So, take your time! SW.

Sort of anticlimactic ending. I gemmed the stupid threads as I had plenty of free gems. But then after visiting the fur burrow, I get the anouncement that we need to to see what happened and then the goals were done. I guess this will continue, but after all that, it just ends?

Be prepared for disappointment for those that are working so hard to get the threads.
