[Guide] Castles and 'Epic Buildings' from Adventure Loot

[Iolanthe]

• • •Update• • •

Regarding the quest "Something Is Still Missing":

With the game version update of 23.06.15 (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/31001-Change-Log-23-06-2015) the Bone Church, Dark Castle, Witch Tower and White Castle will also fulfill the objective of the quest "Something is still missing". Previously only the Angel Gate filled the requirement.

With the update of 25th November 2014 much has changed, many of the buildings now drop from different Adventures and the drop rates are unknown. Please feel free to post if you find something.

Edit 21.12.14: The German fan site http://siedler-vision.de (http://siedler-vision.de/2014/12/blitzmeldung-chancen-updates-20-12-2014/#more-7342) have published their loot drop list, keep in mind it is a fansite but cAmou has a very long history of being very accurate Still, as always with any numbers and new info, grain of salt until gameplay confirms.

While there are many threads and links that already contain this information I haven't found one that has it all in English and in one simple set, if anyone knows of one please let me know. Cheers. :)

very cool ,thankyou

[Lazy_Fruitbat]

Thanks for putting on one list for people lucky i check other forums and site but as you say nothing in english. +1 .Sorry I just wished the odds were right played over well over 200 sftr and only have 1 white castle.Just wished Blue Byte would say this is the real odds per X number of times playing the same advent.Also bit fed up how other servers get stuff before us but they are not beta server's like this one mabye by 2017 this wont be beta and we will get the same items.

[Iolanthe]

Thank you. :)

I'm afraid I don't know how the odds on loot drops were sourced or who figured them or how large a sample size one would need to confirm them but I do know a number of people who've had White Castles from their first, second, or third runs on SFtR, some of them lootspots. While this does sting for those who've played far more with far worse luck it does confirm they're out there, somewhere. Until something more concrete and convincing comes along I'm going to let the numbers from the German Wiki stand, though I realise this does little to soothe avid seekers of rare items.

As far as I know The Nords 2 and its associated loot are available for the live game only through the German retail pack: www.amazon.de/Siedler-Online-Special-exklusiv-Amazon (http://www.amazon.de/Siedler-Online-Special-exklusiv-Amazon/dp/B009XC82DI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361114947&sr=8-1). Retail packs are region specific so it's more that this one is available to a very limited audience rather than available to most with a few exceptions.

Edit: I'm sorry to say Nords 2 is apparently not available on the Test server. According to BB_SlasH while Nords 2 and its loot may be requested in the TO it turns out neither the Adventure nor the loot are actually there.

Edit: Nords 2 has been added to the Merchant on the Test server.

Edit: Nords 2 is here! :D

Over 200 sftr and only 1 castle to show for it, thats not promising at all. I was hoping it was a better drop rate than that! Im at lev 35 and only done priests , horsebk, pirates and witch of swamp so far, about to try my first sftr so not optimistic.
I got crates from slot 6 on witch and that was a 3% chance, also got a signpost which was a 2% chance, I guess its not impossible but doubtful!

word of warning until they fix the bugs i would not place any castles towers ect you get in loot on your island, i have the white and dark cstles they got placed ages ago with no problems and at 10am GMT today i won a witches tower which only left me with the angel gate to get. i placed the tower on my island at 10:11am GMT and my zone got locked and i cant get back in game so until they sort these bugs out please dont place anything like these or watermills or silos ect on your island as you might get locked out also

[MutantKid]

Yeah i read about this in the bugs thread, so not only is it near impossible to get these buildings but if u get lucky enough to get one it may crash your zone if u place it! Heres hoping they have a fix for this in thursdays major update!

[itsmegavin]

Thats quite good from 200 sftr I have played and been in well over 350 lootspots for it and never had one still to this day, I do seem to struggle with anything good from loot, guess I must just be extremely unlucky lol, thanks for posting these up.

[Padejejas_Bobas]

that`s nice

[MarioAandewiel]

I bought an arctic iron mine, but can"t build it? It cost me a lot of coins. Anyone know why i can't build it?

[stefanceltare]

Mario, you need to build atop an iron deposit

[MarioAandewiel]

thanks, that seems to work :)

[jubuti]

if i demolish angel gate it goes to star menu?

[Vodkat]

yes

White Castle/Sir Robin's Castle

Pending Confirmation: Lakeside Treasure
+50 Population, Drop rate: Unknown, Size: 2x2, Tradeable



I can confirm that the White Castle does drop from Lakeside Pleasures. I did my very first one on Friday and was very surprised to get the castle. I wasn't aware that there was even a possibility.

My playing partner did not, and (not surprisingly) neither of us got it on a second run through.

[Lexidh]

Still nothing on what Motherly Love might give you?

[Iolanthe]

Many, and belated, thanks SkinFlynt for confirming the Castle from Lakeside.

Quite right Lexidh, thank you for the prodding!


Updated! :)

[trev10]

Motherly Love occasionally drops a special gold mine, very rare.

[tassiejimbo]

i recived a white castle in loot over a week ago and it still wont build i sent in a request to find out why and the answer was nothing at all

[ROLANDHOLLANDER]

bone church can be found in whirlwind coop adventure

[Rhylian]

Wow that's a pretty harsh decrease in droprates ... especially for The Invasion of the Nords which costs 1500 gems ...

[Ozzymandeus]

I can confirm that the White Castle does drop from Lakeside Pleasures.Further confirmation... just had it drop today in my first LT since the changes:
