Castle Update 10/16/14: Halloween Event!

[meme1098]

Hear hear, I can only manage two a day......I like my 9 hours sleep!

I've been managing 3 adventures a day only because the 2nd one I will spend 1-3 gems to collect so I can start another before going to bed. That's the only way it works for me. I need my 6-7 hours of sleep... Lol

I am wondering whether the Jack O Lantern will be dropping bats and ghost after the event ends... That way people who buy the lantern and reach 1250 Candy corn would eventually be able to upgrade the HH to level 5

That would be awesome ^^^^

I feel like I'm so behind on my CC count... Only at 744

Hello all. I have been playing CS for almost two years now so am an advanced player. I totally agree with the comments that the knowledge shards give an advantage to players. I have them meaning when I harvest corn, I usually get at least 1/3 of my energy back. Same thing wiht beasts. This means collecting candy is not that hard. The beauty of these event is in my opinion the community component. It is up to more advanced players like me to "do the heavy lifting" and get the numbers up so that the players with less advantage get the community prize. That is one of the best parts of the whole event I think. So I am doing my bit with 1333 candy and counting. I will keep on going even after I have all the individual prizes doing my bit for the whole community. So lower lever players, we are on your side!!!

Have fun everybody!

QFT, tho I'm not lvl 50 yet, still need to do the Faerie Bridge and Sister, Sister quest, I find this event rather easy too: got 1306 corn already, and will surely keep on making them after I got the last individual goal.

I'm only 781 now feel soo far from those 1k++ candies

I can't believe we are only 42% of the way to goal ONE! Are we close to where we were at this time in the last world event? It feels like we should be close to unlocking community prize 1 but I could easily just be remembering wrong.

The speed for the first community prize advanced was slow as well last time.
I guess it's bcs the drop rate from the Adventure n HH increases for each level of upgrade.
I had 37 candy drop from my last adventure collection. I believe it started out at 25 only.

Thank you TL for allowing the Haunted Hall to be stored at first build (Lv.1)

By Far the best encouragement offered to the many who have construction sites in their kingdom.

Wow, I am way behind on this one. I haven't been planting much corn since the last event wasn't so tough. Only just got the Spooky decorations kit (600). Looks like I'll have to put my corn farmer hat on and become a corn planting machine now.

Fellow Castle Story players, lend me your ears, that's all I husk.
