Special Quests - Halloween 2014
Legend of the Cursed Frog / Magnus' Mystery Crate / Carving Pumpkins
There is a special Halloween quest that starts on October 16th, 2014. It is only available for a limited time. This is much like the Book of Lore glass window quests that Lorelei tasks us with.
We are to send Magnus and Rafael to any Place of Legend to explore and find shards of glass to complete a window in the Hall of Heroes.
Hint: I would suggest sending Rafael and Magnus to different places of legend simultaneously for a faster search. The quickest and easiest way to get shards is to keep exploring the Butterfly Oracle.
Also I would suggest to send the hero that lives in the area to the Place of Legend with them. Example: Take Yvette to the Friendship Arena with either Rafael or Magnus for a better chance of getting a shard because Yvette lives in the same area of the Kingdom as the Friendship Arena.
At the bottom of the screen there is a progress bar to track how many shards of glass are found. Click on this bar to open a larger screen with information on the allotted time left and the number of shards found. This window will need 15 shards to complete. The roman numerals I = 1, VII = 7, and XV = 15.
Once you have completed the whole window (15 shards) you will get the reward of 3 black pearls, 17600 gold, 1000xp, 5 crowns, 1 gold pearl, and a special honey hive that gives you 5 honey and 1 candle wax.
Pumpkin Carving Special Quest - Return of the Cursed Frog
After the 5 days have elapsed from Magnus' Mystery Crate a new pumpkin carving quest appears. It is also timed and works just like most other special quests in that you have to collect 2 rare, 2 uncommon, and 2 common pumpkins for the end reward.
First we need to put a pumpkin patch in our kingdom. It can be found in the Marketplace and is free for the taking.
Our progress on the pumpkins we collect is shown by either clicking the pumpkin patch or the bar at the bottom of your game screen. We need to collect 2 common, 2 uncommon, and 2 rare pumpkins to get the reward of a bountiful scarecrow. The only hint we get about the bountiful scarecrow at this point is that it gives a boost to our crops and animals. Sometimes when we turn in the weeks ingredients we will not receive a pumpkin but instead get rewards of treasure (if we are lucky we will get the week's bonus prize instead of coins and crowns). This screen tells you everything you need to know about the quest. Your time remaining for the week is shown above the weeks ingredients and click the ingredients to find out how to get them.
Hint: For a faster way of getting carving knives, send Rafael and Magnus to the Butterfly Oracle and the Gateway of Luck over and over again.
Studded carving gloves = made at the Tailor with 2 opal, 1 plain glove and 25 min
Seed catching bowl = made at the Woodshop with 2 squash, 4 log and 15 min
Spellbound Squash = made at the Trail Kitchen with 4 squash, 1 forest charm and 5 min
Enchanted Shield = made at the Jeweler with 1 wooden shield, 1 stardust and 30 min
There are a few simple assignments to help along the way to carve pumpkins...
Pumpkin Carving
To carve a pumpkin click the pumpkin 3 times after turning in your items.
My Lucky Charms
Get a squash patch from the Marketplace for 3,000 gold and 5 minutes of build time.
The Waning Woodsman
Glamour for Light and Bounty
You can buy him from the Marketplace for 2 hours at a time. You can explore as many times you want if you start the exploration within the 2 hour time frame. Example: you could send him to the Butterfly Oracle (1 hour to explore) twice on one hire. But if you exceed the 2 hour time limit you must rehire him from the Marketplace. The very first time that you hire him he will be free, any other time and he costs 12 whole crowns.
