Does anyone have any tips for Enchanted Realm?

Here are mine, maybe they well help someone:

1. Some buildings need to be built by roads. This requirement can be met by having one segment of road connecting to the site. You do NOT need the roads to connect to each other!
2. After the building has been built, you can delete the road, or move it to the next building site. You only need the road when you build or move the building. If you are careful, you can squeeze a lot of buildings in a small space by slowly moving a road out from a corner as you fill in the space with buildings. Be aware, though, that rearranging things later can be difficult if you do pack things too tightly (hey, it's a bonus puzzle game!).
3. Many of the missions/goals require you to turn in (or "charge") a collection. To maximize efficiency, try not to charge collections unless you have a mission to do so. (e.g. if you charge the Fruit collection randomly, then get a mission to charge it again, you'll need to wait to collect everything again, possibly holding up mission progression.)
4. Along the same lines as the previous tip, try not to build or buy ANYTHING unless you have a mission to do so. You never know if your next mission will be to build a Smithy, which may take longer if you just built a Winery instead.
5. After you've completed a mission and any followups, it MAY be safe to delete the mission item if that would help you. For instance, I personally deleted all my Mills, which take a tiny amount of goods but produce a tiny amount of money. Do be careful though, and don't delete anything too precious. Also be aware of followups, such as collecting income from a building you just built x number of times.
6. The game doesn't allow picking up or storing buildings to help rearrange them. To get around this, I have taken to deleting my EMPTY crop fields to free up room if I need to move things around. They only cost 100 gold to rebuild, and take no energy or time.

Thanks Masema for this excellent post!

Too bad the screenshot functionality doesn't cover the entire map

My tip (joins many points mentioned above, so nothing new really....): rearranging stuff will give you a lot of additional space!

Good point! Knowing how to move stuff around doesn't help if you don't know why.

I like your layout, too. Very clean.

IrishJMA

ok, so how about a question. what do I do with the tower of mages? I have the mission to charge it, but when I click it, it says it will be available later.

Masema

It sounds like you're on the step where you need to collect a bunch of things? You do that by collecting income from buildings and/or gathering crops. After that you'll have the least fun mission in the game (that I've seen - 50x annoying), and THEN you'll be able to interact with the tower. (FWIW, I was underwhelmed when I finally finished.)

IrishJMA

ok, but I think I have collected everything. the current mission says that I have to charge it with 50 energy. I am just wondering if I am not leveled high enough or something.

Masema

Oh, that's odd, then. If you are on the mission to charge it with 50 energy, there should be an icon over the tower, and tapping the icon or the tower should cost one energy and increase the counter. Very much like chopping trees or constructing a building.

If you're on that mission but can't advance it, that sounds like a bug.

IrishJMA

can't advance it, I can't even build it yet. I am only at level 34, so I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

also, I have noticed that I am still getting gold for codes. does the counter reset every time you log in?

carolinapagan

I'm having the same problem with my tower. It's in the mission but says building inactive when I click it.

BookSavvy

After the latest update a storage facility is available, if you've already built a building then it shows up for a mission you can place it in storage then replace it on your board and it counts toward the mission as being built! (sorry, this was REALLY EXCITING to me)

BookSavvy

Make sure you're on the latest update. They didn't make completion of the Tower of Mages available until recently.

IrishJMA

yeah, it looks like that was the issue. I started over and now when I completed the first mage quest, part of the tower was built. still have to work through the rest of them, though. I miss having a lot of energy.

I've done done experimenting with moving decorations around while a Craft building is processing. The game is surprisingly very strict about this.

To get a bonus from a decoration, the decoration must be present from the time you stock the Craft building until the time the money bag appears over it (in other words, the entire time the building is processing and running its animation).

I tried placing a decoration after stocking the building, no bonus. I tried removing a decoration after stocking, no bonus. I tried moving a decoration away then back while stocking, no bonus. I even tried moving the decoration one square, still within range of the target building, and even that lost me the bonus. Storing the decoration in the building storage temporarily also removed the bonus.

Note that you can move/remove the decoration after the money bag appears but before you collect the money. Also, moving one decoration doesn't affect the bonus given by other decorations stacked on the same building.

I also noticed that moving a craft building into storage after stocking it with goods causes the goods to be refunded.

For those with rooted devices (or the ability to backup & restore game data, if that's available without rooting), there's also a minor exploit available. If you get one of the magic crates, you can exit the game and backup the data BEFORE opening it. Then, if you don't like what you got, restore the backup and try again.

I'm working on a spreadsheet listing all the available buildings and their stats. If anyone is interested I can post that when I finish.

On a related note (related to me being a nerd), does anyone know a formula or method to determine optimum choices in multi-variable calculations? I'm trying to determine the best crop to plant, but I'm having trouble quantifying the choices. For instance, Wheat gives by far the most yield per time, but the energy and babysitting costs of course outweigh that... However, I can't seem to think of how to let the spreadsheet figure out the best crop based on the cost (in coins, time, and energy) vs yield.... I'm probably over thinking this, I have a feeling the "best" crop is actually subjective, based on how often you want to check in (and when you want to check in next, i.e. plant longer grow-time crops before going to sleep, etc.).

Failing that, what crops do you all use?

barrel

A mixture of the following three
* Strawberry (45$ / 3h / 52)
* Corn (64$ / 6h / 114)
* Watermelon (41$ / 12h / 130)

Where do you get it from? are you getting it from some special kind of craft or housing buildings or is it just luck? I'm getting all the time out of them. I know that I can buy them for crystals, but is there any other way?

THX

Masema

Thanks, that's about what I have been doing too.

Masema

What are you talking about, the magic crates? As far as I know you can't get those from a building. You can buy them for crystals or get them as rewards for some (very few) quests. If I recall correctly, the last Valentine's Day quest rewarded one.

nowaczini

I mean (as I wrote in the subject) screws

Masema

Oh, oops. I guess tapatalk doesn't show subjects.


AFAIK, Screws, like all "ingredients", can be collected from any building. It's just random.

Some of the collection items OTOH can only come from certain buildings, like the army weapon set.

Hi all,

Today, Enchanted Realm upgraded to a new version. I am not sure, but I have the strong impression that my max. energy has dropped. I am at level 77, max energy is at 55.

I have the impression it was much higher before...

Anyone else can comment on this?

Barrel

barrel

Additionally... when you complete a level, energy no longer gets fully restored. My level jumped to 38/59 (yep... 59. Was 55 yesterday....) when I completed level 77.....

mariette71

same thing here had 51 energie now 40

greetings

Champ1

YEs - Same thing - i'm in Level 88 and with Energy Spring I had 92 max; After Update only 64 - That's Not nice

thisisnotsound

same happened to me
max energy dropped from 72 to 52
full restoration at level up was very useful too
is it the global economical crysis, my government is doing the same....
they want us to stop playing?

Masema

Well that's no good. I guess I'll skip the update.

They certainly didn't mention that in the update notes.

Eugene Krylov, Feb 21 13:59 (MSK):
Thank you for your request.
We can assure that it is not a bug. These changes are connected with the new feature of the latest version of the game. It's main point is that your energy limit will be constantly increasing throughout the whole game: you will have one energy point added to the your limit when you get a level-up twice. Thus, it will help you to get even more energy than before. The time of energy points accumulation was not changed. Just keep playing to increase the limit. When you reach the next level a certain part of your energy points is always replenished.
To get more energy points in your game you can construct Energy Spring or Electrostation and supply them with goods. Please, note that your energy points can suddenly go down due to the fact that the energy source stops working. It gives you extra energy points for 24 hours when you load it with goods.
Please, stay tuned and follow our updates.
In case you have any questions, please contact us. Our support team is always ready to help you.
Your Support team,

I really don't understand. @Barrel, @Masema: I had the same tragedy as y'all. Sunk from 80+ energy to 62 in a heartbeat, and only 35 replenish at level up. *le sigh* So how does the above response from support explain why they took energy away? And, how the hey does that make it possible to get more energy than before? SO irked, you guys. Amiright?

barrel

Well... to me this sounds like a "typical helpdesk answer" (apologies to anyone on this thread that works at a helpdesk). An answer that leaves the user unsatisfied....

The energy level already continuously increased throughout the game. Perhaps they changed the level/speed at which energy increases, but I strongly doubt that....

They simply changed the rules of the game.

mariette71

a few weeks later I must say I get a lot more energie trough the game than before also when I use the runes of eternity collection I can charge it in a day or two again. today I had a update and I got a energy well that gives me +6 energy. at this moment Iam at level 59 and have 59 energy now sow its not so bad.

sorry for the bad english Im dutch

greetings

kee leveld up to level 60 and now 66 energy why i don't know.....

cosmo4u

when they did the snow it crashed my game and I had to restart. I had the tower of mages up and running and was doing great. Now I restarted and am at lvl 140 built everything I can. book says ch 2 is complete, castle is at lvl 16, but I cant move on. dont know what I am doing wrong.. any help would be awesome. Im tired of just collecting money and doing nothing. Cant get the tower or chapter 3 to move forward.

thanks

Just have a question about the tower of the mages, I completely finished rebuilding the tower and charged it with 50✖ energy, now when clicked it shows a timer with 11 hrs or so left. Do I get some sort of bonus when the time's up? What is the tower for and what does it do exactly?

lumbarin

The mage tower will give 5 speed up per 12 hours and is definitely worth the time.

Save your crystals do not waste them for anything. You will need to save 30 by around level 40.

To keep your goods/gold ratio good always use decorations around your buildings that consume goods. When you are first starting leave enough room around them for 2 rows of flowers. The blue flowers give a 5% increase and are the best bang for the buck. If low on funs you can user the cheapest 4% flowers tho. Once you have your gold built up and can open more land you will want to just use one row of flowers directly around the building and then a row of luxurious fountains around that. To save on money you can build your second and third building in front of and beside of the building that you first make so you then only need to decorate around 3 sides of those 2. You will want at least 3 buildings set up this way. The buildings with a row of blue flowers and luxurious fountains surrounding them will have around a 275% increase to the money they give! Meaning instead of the music shop for example giving a little over 700 gold it will give you 2600+ nearly 20 to 1 gold to goods used. This is a very good investment as you can reuse the decorations as you get better buildings (fireworks shop is good you want whatever pays the most gold)

My second tip is save your magic stones until higher level. They don't time out when you exit the game so if say you have 0/50 energy you can use a magic stone and exit the game and in 51 minutes you will be at 50/50 energy you can open the game burn through the energy quickly then exit again and use 1 magic stone for quite a while even though it only last 10 minutes.

Using tip 1 to make some good gold and now your higher level and have plenty of crops and are turning them into gold at a good rate. Save up 1500000 gold... I now it seems tough but it will pay off for you especially if you arent going to buy any crystals... Now if you haven't already unlocked the pyramid spend the 30 crystals you saved to unlock it. Then build it and surround it with the decorations you have. This will be the only building you need for turning crops into cash. Just use the decorations you have to start with once you have enough gold surround it with the 8% small decoration on the inside(joy hieroglyph thing) and winners throphies around that.. With the proper decorations it can make you nearly 200000 per 3500 goods for 1 energy almost 60 to 1 gold to goods ratio.

You can skip the above if you spend money for enough crystals for the eiffel tower it is superior to the pyramid but it either will take forever to save 225 crystals or you have to buy them.

Thanks for taking the time in explaining. Very useful info! Things I never even thought of lol. Thanks again :-)
