Chinese New Year is coming, and looks like Zynga is also celebrating it in Castleville game with a new limited items and possibly new quests from Quinn (with timer?) this weekend. Also it seems there will be another new quest from a new character Hazel, we’re still checking on that. Anyway, you can see some of the new items below, and with the picture of Quinn and a sunshine background, will the winter kingdom theme be gone? We’ll see

 

Since the When Beasties Attack Quest requires us to craft many beastie items with a long crafting time, it would be great if we can have more than 1 beastie laboratory.. unfortunately Zynga team have capped the maximum number of beastie laboratory to only 1 in the game.. but luckily, they always like to create a glitch that sometimes help us . Here’s how to do the glitch:

Normally if you already have a beastie laboratory, you can not buy another one in the market..

But when you put it in the storage cellar,

You can build the beastie laboratory again! If there’s no option to build more in the market place, refresh the game.

Now you can construct the new beastie lab and have 2 of them

.. or 3 !!

You can have as many as you want, just remember to build more, you have to store all the beastie laboratories you have in the game.

Note: Only works with the beastie lab, for other crafting buildings, you can store it but after you build a new one, you can’t take out the last building.

You need to be level 7 or above to receive When Beasties Attack Quest. The quest consists of 8 missions. In this quest, we will build a new crafting building: The Beastie Lab and also craft some of its recipe.

Note: Did you notice the new gloom area that you can unlock? It’s the gloom area with the frozen pond (left gloom area of where you found Frozen George). But the requirements is quite high, you need: 4500 Castle Level, 564,000 Coins, and 28 Crystal Shards to unlock it. When you unlock it, you will receive 3 treasure chests that can give you items like the 2100 castle level gloom area.

For those who still stuck with the Father’s Love Quest – Golden Egg Mission, because when you visit the last neighbor you will get a “Lost your magic” message. We’ve gathered some in-game solutions from our friends in the forum and also in our fanpage (thank you all). You can try one of these methods, and we hope it will solve your problem:

1. Visit The Duke as your last neighbor.

2. Visit a neighbor, when the share reward message open, instead of clicking the share button, click the close (X) button, and immediately change to other neighbor.

3. Visit a neighbor, and then when the message saying “loading your neighbor’s kingdom” running, immediately click another neighbor on the neighbor tab.

4. Postpone the quest.. you can visit other neighbor without the “lost your magic” message, and when Zynga fix the issue, you can continue the quest.

5. At least do this as your last solution, when the four above don’t work, Zynga is still not responding to the issue yet, you have quest pending that needs you to visit neighbors, you’re really desperate to finish the quest and you have a few crowns to spare.. Use the crowns to buy the last requirement.. it will let you finish the quest.
