Thread: Castle Story 06/17: Monster Hunt season 33 and LB | event information on page 1

    It really is luck which group you’re put in. I came a comfortable 2nd this time with 4,600 points and the winner had 5,400. Last time I came 6th with 8,000 points and a winner of 15,500. I enjoy monster hunts more now that I’m just focusing on gold tokens and not worrying about the leaderboard.

    Looks like the LB was not so competitive this time. I only focus on troll token and hammer as much as I on monsters to produce a maximum during a week, I always end the week in the 7500-8000 points range which places me in the middle of the LB just leagues away from the top. Now I finished leagues on top.

    I did not know what a "prize chest" is, as I always ended up in "7-12" rank before. This time I had no chance for 1st or 2nd place, but a reasonable shot at 3rd place and a prize chest. I ended up spending 51 gems (39 on purpose and 12 by accident) to ensure I did not slip to the 4th place.

    And? The prize chest was 25,000 coins and a worthless banner! I would have been better off with 4th rank and a 25-energy crate!

    Good point! I also got prize chests consisting of coins and banners, and would have preferred an energy crate. At least now we know for next time. Although we probably also got more trade tickets for being in 3rd place than we would have at 4th, right? So there's that.
    I've spent thousands of dollars on Storm8 games, but I'm still not valued by the company.

I know,I know,lots say they're just going for tokens,but when you see scores getting upwards of 10,20,30 thousand or so,you gotta wonder if some people are just uber competitive,feeling the need to have everything that s8 dish up. I have been at times,ie when the minotaurs were out,I needed to have them. But,if folks communicated,and were happy to agree on a set score,more people could get the grand prize,thus eliminating a lot of the angst people have towards LB's. Just my two cents,for what it's worth. Love the game,love the community,kudos to s8 for all their work(you can't please all the people all the time) and shout out to SW for all her (mostly) untiring efforts on the forum. Have fun folks,and remember,social distancing at all times ;-)

    I only focus on my gold troll token goal for each hunt. Lately it has been 99 in order to get the newer weekly energy animals. (I'm not sure why I'm going for these because I have plenty of energy right now.) I still have five more to craft. LB monster hunts are a bit boring to me. I have plenty of energy but I'm not very motivated to spawn and vanquish monsters. I have received second place twice but only because they were reasonable monster hunts. This time the winner of mine had 33,000 +. Second and third had 27,000+. I feel bad for the third place winner, the worst position to get in my opinion. The 2nd and 3rd place competitors should have tied in points instead and both would get the second place prize. Fourth place has 8,000 + and I came in fifth with 6,000+. I usually get between 3,000 and 7,000 points. I personally don't understand the need to be in first with a large amount of points.

    My lb was really active and I finished last. I'm now back at work and my phone is not allowed on my desk. So break and lunch only. So did what I could but got very discouraged early on. Just tried for gold tokens.

    I know that feeling. I'm down under,in Melbourne, and monster hunts, along with most events, finish around 11am. So normally I start work at 7am,thus leaving four hours where I can't watch or participate in the game. Many is the time I'll be in front,only to come back on my break to see I've been leapfrogged by several other players. Them's the breaks I spose,of being in different time zones.

    Neither do I. I mostly play for tokens, (unless the prize is an energy dropper), but even that gives me 30,000+ points by the end of the event and usually puts me at the top of the LB.

    Did anyone craft armoured glimmer loch? Is it worth 55 gold tokens. Does it drop shells and clown fish frequently. The only reason I would want to craft it is shells

    I've been tracking its drops and it mainly has dropped seaweed and reef slab and stones. It did drop the clown fish just now. Given its 2 hour timer, I'm happy I crafted it. Everything that drops the clown fish is rareish though... it is dropping shells a lot but I'm maxed on them so I get the black flag message.
