Where can I find link/more info about barracks?

The Castle Story Building Guide in the HUB has all crafting and drop information for all buildings. If the building has drops and comes from an event, I've prepared a summary of that in the Inventory Guide. All of the Guides (inventory, adventure and a ton more) are located in the HUB sub forum which you access at the top of the forum.

Is there something in particular you want to know about the Barracks?

Thank you for the response SpiritWind! Normally i check all the posts before i ask questions but in this case, I can?t seem to find the answer i am looking for. I have a few gems to spare and i am thinking of purchasing the Barracks but i want to know if it is worth it. I would like to research before i buy items that costs gems

My questions would be..
1. will it be conflict to my queen?s court since they are both adventure building?
2. What adventures are there?
3. What do they drop?
4. Does it do same adventures as queens court during events?

I was hoping to see a conversation thread about Barracks if possible. Thank you again

1. No conflicts. They are separate building, and have the same adventures as the Castle - they just take double the time
2. I'll write a summary below for you. The Adventure Guide has the split about what's available in the 3 castles (Adventure Time: Castle/Keep - 1 day | Barracks - 2 days | Haunted Keep - 2 days), but I might add it elsewhere too
3. Exactly the same as the Castle adventures
4. No, the barracks and the haunted keep never have event adventures; it's a level playing field in the castle only. Same for additional adventures for main story goals. They are not available in the Barracks.
The only exception I know of that (I can only recall this for a couple goals) is that when you have to adventure say 10 times to clear a goal, collecting from the barracks adventure will count. I've always made a special note when it does count towards one of those types of goals. Eg is the Dragon Trainer goal I'm working on now.

My opinion of whether "Is it worth it?" is yes. I am continuously adventuring. The drops and the gems and the additional energy it provides, especially box drops like fruit trees and sheep and cows and glimmertroves (which only can be purchased otherwise with gems) is so helpful, even for well-established kingdoms. If you have a few feast droppers (and there are quite a few now) then it's much easier to keep an adventure going in both or all 3 buildings. Initially it seems like a big spend (which it is!), but I am glad I did. Pretty sure this was the first things I ever bought with gems going way waaay back!

Other players have never bought it and don't feel like they're missing out. I guess with all items you can purchase for gems, you have to decide if it's going to enhance your game play for the way you play to make your decision. Would love to hear what you decide and other players will post their thoughts too. I'm sure there is a dedicated thread buried somewhere, but it's ok to discuss that here too.

Dear Spiritwind,
I appreciate your effort so much for putting all these helpful information together! A big thank you and yes! I would definitely get the Barracks!! i have a few feast droppers and will put my feasts to good use! i totally agree with you that the gem items and energy we could get from adventure is so worth it and i don't mind waiting 2days to finish an adventure.
I have been thinking of purchasing the Barracks for some years now but it was not in my priority list and now the time has come
I guess that's it no more follow up questions from me, you answered all my questions and thank you for always going above and beyond! I love this forum and i love castle story! Many more years for us!! Cheers!

I?m currently on the goals related to Sir Daisy. Unfortunately it popped open for me during the last event, and I had already sent out requests, so the timed opportunity to hurdle the detangler was not an option.

Reading the requirements for that goal, I don?t know that I?m interested?I?ve got horses?..question: Is Sir Daisy needed for anything down the road? To complete another set of goals? I can?t see that he is, but ,Abe I?m missing it somewhere. Thanks.

All timed gifts from storyline goals are only needed for fame and enhancing your realm layout.

All the info SW provided is great. I bought the barracks in another sale yrs ago and don?t regret it. I also have a Haunted Keep and have both going in a staggered way which means I normally have 2 adventures per day with all the associated drops. Then when my Queens Keep for event I still have 1 adventure every day. There are so many goodies I?ve received over the yrs that make glass I spent the gems, however how you spend yours is up to you. Checking info before purchase is a great strategy.

I haven't seen that Sir Daisy is needed for anything. It takes a long time and a lot of resources to get him. After you get the 50 detangler or however many it is, you need to craft 50 grooming mitts (I think this one also has an option to request from friends to get the first 20 or 25). Each grooming mitt takes 10 coal, 20 water, and 25 fertilizer if I remember correctly. It took me months to complete, and I didn't feel like it was really worth it.
