New Update...Maybe?

So Zynga recently released another update (version 2.5.256 for Android, 2.5.88 for IOS and 2.5.257 for Amazon) that fixed the sea trading issue. Now we no longer have to see everyone's sold out boats, which is wonderful! But I'm not 100% satisfied, are you? Didn't think so. I was hoping there would be an expansion somewhere in that update, you know, maybe Hazel's land? Unfortunately, it didn't happen. So what do you think? Will it be soon? Word has it that a handsome seafaring captain is on his way to be with his fair lady but who could that be? Hazel? Tanya? Yvette? The River Maid? I'm guessing the latter. What better than a captain falling head over heels in love with a mermaid? Okay, maybe I've watched Disney's The Little Mermaid too many times but a girl can dream, right? :) Regardless of who his love might be, the important fact is that he is coming and soon...I hope. Stay tuned for that update, I have a feeling it's going to be a big one!

Meet Scorch!

It's about time! Zynga has officially released the newest member of the heroes; Scorch the baby fire dragon! I don't know about you but I love when new heroes are released, especially cute ones! Take a look...

I strongly suggest that players continue to work on getting pearls from Liang because I have a feeling we'll be seeing more heroes along the way. 

For those of you who don't know yet, each hero has a specialty. It is an item that the hero gets when sending them to the Places of Legend. After sending him for a test run at the Swamp Totem, he brought back an egg! So there you have it! Our new little creature! If you have any more info, feel free to share! Have fun!

Version 2.5.242 Update: More Harm than Good?

I can honestly say it has been one crazy week for CastleVille Legends players. Excitement about the most recent update didn't last long when players started realizing that it was causing more problems than before.
Aside from syncing issues and games freezing, players are finding that they can see every boat, including those who have already sold out in both the Alliance and Facebook tabs. So be prepared if you have a lot of friends who play because it might take a while to find your requested items!

Also, there are mysterious pink shapes appearing out of no where on different parts of the land, syntax errors maybe? There hasn't been any complaints about this having an affect on game play, but it's just weird.

It seems as though Zynga is trying to fix bugs while also adding new items to the game. So far, that hasn't really turned out so well for players. Hopefully there will be another update soon!

Oh, and let's not forget! Scorch the baby dragon and ThunderHoof the unicorn will be released soon! At least we have some hope for what's to come! :)

Let's Talk Liang!

Liang the Dragon Merchant is quite the character, isn't he? You've gotta love him and his requests even if they're insanely impossible. I've had a few outrageous requests from him myself such as 66 frog teapots, 33 apple oatmeal, and 45 backwoods scrambles. Unfortunately I don't have any screenshots from those times but I do, however, have one that is really crazy. Take a look...

Yep, that's right...15 Northbound potions! For those of you who don't know, they are made with a stardust potion, three lodestones, and take a day to make!! Crazy right? Unless you have six of everything, which some of you devoted players do, this order is impossible to complete without extra help. If you come across a crazy Liang order such as this one, send me a screenshot and I post it for the world to see! 

Rumor has it...

Before I get into detail, I just want to say that you shouldn't believe everything you hear. When asking for advice about your game, make sure the advice given is accurate before you make any adjustments. I was reading through the complaints on Zynga's website when I came across one in particular that really bugged me. Someone was having trouble with their game and was told by someone else that they needed to reset their game and it will work again...wrong! Resetting your game will literally reset your progress. All of your content including your level will be deleted and you will have to start over. For someone to tell another person that, they're either cold-hearted (possible) or clueless (even more possible). Let's just assume it's the latter of the two. I've read more comments pertaining to pearls and whether or not players should continue to get them. Other players commented back telling them "no"...wrong! If you have every possible hero that you can get with pearls, don't stop, keep working for them. I think Zynga made it obvious that the pearls are still useful when they released the last heroes (Willow and Clover). Besides, filling Liang's orders helps you gain XP as well. So be careful Folks! Not everything you hear is true. Worst case scenario, take it up with Zynga. You might have to wait a little longer for a response but it's better to be safe than sorry!

Eh, What's Up Doc?

How are all of you feeling about the carrots? Since they've added this new resource, they're all I see in the marketplace. I've even had dreams about them...just kidding! Do you think Zynga may have added too many carrot items? Let's see, we have carrot oat bars, carrot pancakes, honey-glazed carrots, carrot trail snacks, carrot cake, carrot bread, lemon carrot jam, coconut carrot bread, snappy carrot elixirs, mandrake carrot elixirs, enchanted carrot juice, stardust carrot potions, and carrot apple salad. Am I missing anything? Phew! Maybe it's worth investing in another carrot patch, wouldn't you say? I KNOW that you've all seen the marketplace flooded with carrot oat bars, trust me there's definitely no shortage of those now and I've also noticed the over abundance of midas gloves. Opals were the scarce item last week but now that'll be replaced by stardust and stardust lanterns. So make sure you stock up! There's seven days left in this stage and then what's next? Emeralds? Forest charms? What do you think?

Now That's Just Weird! - UPDATED!

Have you ever been playing the game and came across the unknown? Maybe a mysterious item you've never seen before? I have and I want to share them with you.

First of all, this is the second time I've come across this...thing. Take a look!

What the...!? Can anyone explain what this might be? As far as I know, I have everything I can possibly gain at this point in the game. But it's telling me to level up? Curiouser and curiouser.

Okay, the next mysterious item is...

Hmm...it looks like an ice cream of some sort but it can't be made anywhere. I have won this item from the Wheel of Wishes once and when I went to check it out in my vault, it was gone. Any explanations?

I spy with my little eye something...pink?

Now what in the world is that? Clearly it says "Sunstone" but isn't exactly what you'd think a sunstone would look like. Apparently, you can find this thing when you send Yvette, Bayoo, Buttercup, Greenleaf, or Bluebelle to Fairy Falls if you use a PC to play the game.

I'm very interested to know what the items are and/or if they will make a permanent appearance in the future. If you come across anything out of the ordinary, send me a screenshot and I'll be happy to post it on here! Maybe we'll find some answers once and for all!
