Castle Story: 2/04 Update - The Stargazer's Ridge Event | 4-15 Feb | EXPIRED

[sourp4tch]

Distance is no match for true love! Always, lovers will find a way to be together. Tonight, we celebrate that devotion! Enjoy the evening together, dear star-crossed lovers!

[==Update requires Level 17+, and is live from 2/04 @ 12pm to 2/15 @ 4:00pm.==]

Spoiler: show

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

[sourp4tch]

The Stargazer's Ridge
prepared by SpiritWind.
Optional timed event.

---

Update 15 Feb: The event has now expired.
* The only way to upgrade the Ridge now is to use gems.
* If the event expired while the telescope was crafting, you can still upgrade the Ridge. NO GEMS REQUIRED. You will not get the rewards of coins and xp for level 7 and you won't get the goal to upgrade. However, if you click on your ridge the upgrade button will be available and you simply upgrade it when you've collected your telescope. CONFIRMED
* If the event expired before you crafted the telescope, you will need to use gems to upgrade.
* Please keep reporting drops! I will update the Building Guide and Inventory Guide in a few days when we've captured all of the info. SW

** We don't get to meet Agnes in this event, but I bet she will be back!

Tips and Tricks from players (and me!)
* once you upgrade to Level 3 you can no longer craft romantic blossoms.
* you can send out ancient vaults adventure as its collecting that counts.
* the ORB is available from chopping ordinary rock outcroppings.
* For those hoarders who want a souvenir Orb Jewel (it has a max of 1), you can only get it during step 6b, so: find one & give it but don't visit your jeweler until you find another Orb Jewel. (thanks NW!)
* after completing goals 6a, 6b, 6c you get items to build telescope (4 hrs)
*

sourp4tch, with the stargazers ridge you say we can have a limit of 2? I would like a second one but it is not available anywhere. Any thoughts on how to get the second one? Thanks.

You cannot, it is a goal item and you can only have one!

[kasumi2012]

If "6a. Setting Distant Sights" skipped with gems, Does "Telescope Viewing Glass" will available in my inventory? Or I must buy it again for crafting?

Normally you get it in your inventory. But the lens is a 100% drop from the adventure, so an easy one.
