Thank you Tirama.

I only have 200 total energy so I don't think I could play for 30 minutes -- unless I stock up on food.

I already have 2 portrait sets thanks to the auctions.

I just did my three rounds in Apricus Plaza and one got ONE blueprint from all three!

You can also play mini games during the 30 minutes if you have a lot of resources.  Play the level 1 games over and over when using a special item.

I've got only 3 quests beside the relics one:  those pesky blueprints, upgrading the orchard (and all it takes is 45,000 coins) and getting enough toolboxes to play mini game 8 to 2 trophies to open mini game 9.

Happily, I've been able to get at least 1 toolbox every time I play that HO scene, and sometimes it gives me a songbird egg as well.  I've auctioned off 2 eggs so far (buyout 1,000).  I figure I can either use the coins to buy blueprints or upgrade the orchard.  I've bought that syvia thing once to get some blueprints, but I'm saving my crystals to use on things that you can't get any other way, like food.  I don't care how long Troglid has to wait for those flipping blueprints.

I'm letting my energy build up and tomorrow I'll use a special item and as much food as necessary and keep playing the HO scene with teh toolboxes and songbird eggs in the hopes of leveling up and more quests arriving.
 

I don't remember what all castle quests there were, mine looks alright inside.  If any of you want some money you can put something up for sale for however much you need and I'll buy it from you.  I have over 400,000 so I can help you all out if you want.  It just make the game be over quicker, but sometimes everybody is asking for money things and you just want them to go away.  Let me know if you put something up. 

Uh Tirama ... did you get the quest where you need 5 Jewel eggs and 5 Songbird eggs?

I have just about everyone with their hands out asking for money at this point.  Including Triffledore (?) who wants 12,000 coins for a Sophia and King portrait!  I only build the Orchard (level 1) so I could buy the sandwiches. 

Menwhile I keep opening more and more of the locked areas.  It's really iritating when you get riddle mode and have to jump around 3 areas.  Oh well... I do very much enjoy the game!

Wow!  I just sold a bunch of stuff in the auction.  One coruscating dust for the buyout of 3000. I have another up for a buyout of 5500 and the bidding is at 5250.  I got some token for completing a bunch of achievements.  I meant to click on it to see what it did, read it and wanted to X out but I hit use instead.  I played a couple of HOs and then a bunch of minigames.  I'm almost about to level up again AND I made something like 6000 coins.  It was a double your coins for 30 minutes thing.  Of course now I'm out of the resources I used to play the minigames.

I've just updated Triffeldore's and received a couple more requests.  Played Rose Garden ad maxed out on trophies but earned enough toolboxes to play mini game 8 enough to open mini game 9 and play 9.

I guess I'll let my energy fill to the max and play Apricus Plaza ad nauseam in the hopes of getting enough blueprints.  Not completing that quest is preventing any real progress.
