Castle Story 4/13: The Baron's Tea Party | POLL ADDED - PLEASE VOTE

[yummy_bistro]

I played every day, every 15 mins or whenever

But I am just at lv 7 for the tea party thing

lacking energy
need clay, tea, petals

Should I continue, I have another 7 days to finish

I'm stuck on level eight. I was doing OK till I got there, then the drop rates mysteriously plummeted. I suspect something to do with the timed goal I had no intention of attempting, though my work being stupid hours probably didn't help. Pretty sure I won't finish now, nor get the peacock. Maybe I'll make club 9. It might be a useful idea if we could dismiss timed goals we aren't going to try for so they don't choke the drops.

At this point I'm teaching myself to not really care, which may not be a good thing long term. I'm up to date with the story now, so there's nothing else to care about.

What is your protocol for clearing your kingdom when you are struggling for energy?!!
Its just that I have no energy to clear-like most of my neighbours!-but have now been deleted by a neighbour because of this!!Also despite visiting daily I have had no hearts to collect and...shock/horror am now 3 in social rating instead of my usual 4...Go figure!
It so shouldnt upset me but it kinda has-always liked to think I was a good friend to my neighbours,but ..am I wrong?!

Everyone have different ways of playing. Personally I couldn't care less about social rating. Currently I'm visiting to get the extra energy, otherwise I rarely visit. But I answer requests quickly. I only collect from items for the drops, during events that means only cabbage hut, golden mines, castles, wizard schools, alis and event-related items. If I get deleted for that so be it.

I'm sending you an invite, feel free to accept or not based on the above. And don't feel bad for one not-understanding neighbor deleting you

I'm like you, Aino. I stopped visiting because it is so time intensive. My neighbors seem to understand and I respond to requests as soon as I get them. I also gift back those who gift me and send to one or two new ones each week to see if they are active/gifting.

Awe thank you everyone-just checked in to find three new neighbour requests and lovely messages too!
So thanks to this forum I am feeling so much better about the whole game today.....Now back to mushrooms for me!
Big thanks for the support ��

Lots of players here who understand you completely. My social rating is always around 1 as my device crashes so much. I have literally 4 or 5 buildings out that you can 'heart'. We all play differently and that's ok. Im very glad to see you've found some wonderful new friends from here. Our forum castle community is awesome.... Don't forget the Add Me forum if you need more neighbors. https://forums.storm8.com/forumdispla...e-Story-Add-Me

I'm not going to even try to finish the tea party. I'm at level 9 but its excruciatingly slow trying to collect tea, spring petal and I hate all the wasted energy harvesting wheat for the high number of flour needed to make the sweet treats. Plus it put making items for quests to get more energy and gems on hold so it's a catch 22. I wish CS would allow gem gifts from neighbors like DS and FF. I quit visiting neighbors a while ago. I will gift back if soneone sends me something but I don't ever need any of the gifts CS allows us to send to each other. Maybe I'll win the peacock maybe I won't but at this point I don't really care.

I am sorry if I missed this on the first page, but does anyone have the drop rates for the tea party? I just passed 1,200 for the 4th prize and found out that I need to double that for the peacock

Right now mine is at level 8 - struggling to get to level 9 and doubt very much I'll make it to 10 in time for it to matter. I keep plugging away though

Drops from the Tea Party
Level 1: 1
Level 2: 2
Level 3: 4
Level 4: 6
Level 5: 9
Level 6: 12
Level 7: 16
Level 8: 20
Level 9: 25
Level 10: 30


If you can manage a minimum of 8 collections per day, possibly speeding up a couple on the last day (depending on when the timer ends) it is possible to get the peacock with level 8.

Thank you so much for posting this and for the advice I'm pretty sure I will be able to upgrade to 9 today so that will help a little
