Castle Story: 3/03 Update - The Season of Luck (timed / optional) EXPIRED

[sourp4tch]

Look all around you! Under every clover, over every rainbow, there's something in the air! Could it be some new kind of magic? Know this: whatever it is, it is sure to bring good fortune!

[==Update requires Level 17+ to participate, and is live 03/03 @ 12pm - 03/21 @ 4:00pm==]

Spoiler: show

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

---

posted 7th March.

Dear players, I've received word from S8 that the Rainbow Gate and the Gold Path were only meant to be prizes and as such they have now been removed from the market.

If you had purchased either of these items, they have not been removed from your game. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

I'll amend post 2 accordingly. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know by PM so we can keep this thread in tact.

edit to add: Rainbow Gate - you still get the rare drops if you have this now.

thanks, SW.

The Season of Luck Event
(prepared by SW)

---

Timed / Optional event

The event has expired. So, what does this mean? Here goes.....

This means that leprechaun coins are obsolete. They don't do anything now.

If you have the goal Lucky Magic and you do not have the cauldron, this goal is obsolete. All goals have to be completed before the event expires. The timer on this goal is obsolete. However....

What the Lucky Magic goal does allow for (according to what was posted by S8) is for you to use the cauldron to complete this goal. You must have earned the prizes to complete this goal.

If you were eligible for the community prizes, the leprechaun and the rainbow gate will drop lucky clover and lucky magic for you to use in the lucky workshop. If you have a L5 float, this also has a small chance for both of these items too. It may take you ages to get enough items to do a trade though.

Thanks..... SW

Tips and Notes:
* Starts: 03/03/2016 12PM PDT - Ends: 03/21/2016 4PM PDT
* The total number of Leprechaun Coins is updated as soon as they drop, not when they are collected.
* You get the Lucky Workshop when you have reached the 3rd Individual prize
* You get the Lucky Cauldron when you have reached the 5th Individual prize.
* RESPONSE FROM S8 ON TIME DIFFERENCE WITH GOALS: The Lucky Magic goal has an additional week of time because the items required for that goal are prizes from the event. Users who earned the prizes but didn't place them will have an additional week to complete Lucky Magic.

* The Lucky Workshop/Lucky Trade are permanent prizes! The Lucky Trade will remain available after the event ends - in effect, the trade is as much the 3rd Personal Prize as the workshop itself is
* The 4th and 5th Personal Prizes are the only guaranteed sources of the Lucky Clover and Lucky Magic you need to do the Lucky Trade.
* Additionally, the Parade Float Level 5, Leprechaun Gnome, and Rainbow Gate will continue to have an extremely rare chance to drop Lucky Clover or Lucky Magic after the event.

How does this event work?
To get the first individual prize, you need to collect 100 Leprechaun Coins. When you reach the next number shown on the Event screen, the next individual prize opens up for you. Keep collecting Leprechaun Coins to get to the next individual prize.
Once you reach 600 Leprechaun Coins, you are eligible for any and all of the prizes that are earned by the community (shown on the second row.

Help! The Leprechaun Coins aren't going into my inventory!

There is a counter on the top right of screen and all items go there. They do not go into inventory.

Help! I can't see the upgrade button?

if you do not see the upgrade button, click somewhere else on the board and then click back on the Parade Float. The buttons should return. Force close if still not showing.

Does the level of a building we can collect Leprechaun Coins from (Market places, tavern, cottages) have any impact on the number of drops?

No

This is the Mermaid Pond - which is only available from the Market with 160 gems. Do not confuse this with Lorelei's Fountain which does not drop Leprechaun Coins.

Hi! I'm guessing this was a mistake, because my event already started...

" Starts: 03/12/2016 12PM PDT - Ends: 21/03/2016 4PM PDT"

oops, just my terrible typing! should say what post 1 says... SW

No

Drops from the Parade Float:
Level 1: 3 drops of Green Float Sheet / Orange Float Fringe + 5 Leprechaun Coins
Level 2: 4 drops of Green Float Sheet / Orange Float Fringe + 10 Leprechaun Coins
Level 3: 5 drops of Green Float Sheet / Orange Float Fringe + 20 Leprechaun Coins
Level 4: 6 drops of Green Float Sheet / Orange Float Fringe + 35 Leprechaun Coins
Level 5: drops 50 Leprechaun Coins, 350 ordinary coins, 1 xp, and very rarely 1 lucky clover or 1 lucky magic.

um... what???? of course level impacts amount of drops... also, look what you posted below that, lol... 8)

Can you clarify the post about the rainbow gate and gold road being in the market before the emergency update? I didn't know anything about it, because unlike all other storm 8 games, there are NO pop-ups stating what is going on currently for the game. In all other storm 8 games, when you enter, there are at least 8 each time you enter the game telling you of all the current sales / events / bonus things. Not with castle story... but that's an issue for another topic with no index lol...

Did certain people have the chance to get multiple arches that will now drop the magic? while others missed out because they were not even aware of it? This doesn't seem fair. Does Storm 8 plan on compensating the people who weren't able to take advantage of this slip up???

Castle story is the only good one left, and they aren't giving it the attention it deserves... Plus all the old good stuff (Love shack + Alicorns) have been discontinued forever... What is the logic on this?

[SpiritWind00]

To address some of your post:
1. The first bit in my text about the level of a building refers to market places, taverns, cottages, not about the float. I will make that clearer.

2. The rainbow gate and road were mistakenly added to the market and were removed. I believe the text I added is self explanatory.

3. There are event prizes some consider great and others not so great, but even those words are subjective. S8 are aware of players who would like repeat events/prizes. We don't know what they would re-release or not and I am not privy to that information either.

If you want to discuss this further, you can file a forum dispute so that you can have discussions with a Community Manager. Thanks.

1. OK I understand now, Thank you for clarification.

2. It isn't self-explanatory beyond the knowledge of "Did people get them who weren't supposed to get them" it answers "Yes"
(That is assuming the Rainbow Gate in the world event tab community rewards IS the same Rainbow Gate you are referring to in the market, right? because it doesn't tell us the last reward is "Rainbow Gate" in game. They're unnamed until they are unlocked.)

It doesn't tell us if those people will now have more "Lucky Magic" drops from their extra items from the glitch that most didn't get to take advantage of. SO if it is self-explanatory, my common sense says, yes, they are getting extra items, and nothing will be done to compensate the people who didn't even KNOW about the items being in the market.... right ????? (My questions subject is directed towards the people who -did-not- receive multiple Rainbow Gates, how will this effect them?)

3. So you are a moderator of the forums? Can I ask why nothing on these forums is indexed? none of the pages are indexed. So the search functions are useless... Why has everyone been compiling information here where it is so hard to find? All the other Storm 8 games have their own Wiki, which is very easy to navigate, has a search function with all information. And very detailed pages, with pictures and descriptions that don't require self-interpretation. A single page for each Questline would be ideal. Instead, the entire game storyline is on one single thread. Every update since the beginning in one single thread. and not 1 page is indexed for search. Nearly impossible to find the right info.

Please don't misunderstand. I appreciate the work the few people who obtain this main information go thru to give it to the rest of us, but it gets lost very very easily with this method of sharing.

Thank you for your reply
