Give us some bleeding granite!

[Vrisitiggsy]

I'm doing adventures as often as possible, which means probably one most days. Recently I've been doing Stealing from the Rich which used to give quite reasonable amounts of granite - not amazing, but reasonable. But now you're lucky if you get 200 every third time. That can't be right. At that rate, it will take a month to get enough granite for a Damascene weaponsmith, not to even think about upgrades.

This is unacceptably slow. Please sort it out.

PS. I know you felt the loots were too generous. Who complained, by the way? Was it your bank manager? Anyway, there are some of us, like me, who buy gems every week, and making the game unplayable is not going to keep us on board, so think on.

This game takes time, there is lots of granite, just keep playing or trade for it.

I am, I do. I still think they've gone much too far in the "ridiculously rare" direction. This is, after all, supposed to be a game - ie. fun!

I find myself wondering why you have chosen STFR as the adventure to get granite from?

My exporers do a good job bringing granite just by themselves. I have two of them with extra skills for finding granite on medium searches, which I can complete two a day at least - and thereby bring in 100 granite a day no problem. Yeah, it takes time to amass a bunch - but I just stay with it.
Otherwise I find plenty during adventures.
If you make some extra stuff (steel swords?) people will trade granite for it... just pick items that are in the advanced to expert category, you will usually find some sellers.

Well, at the time it was the adventure with the highest xp that I could actually sort the troops for! I'm doing BK now mostly. Same reason

280k granite and no buildings left to upgrade here.
I spent around 100k Granite during Xmas event when I upped all of my bread chains to lv6, but that was an exception.

I'm actually more concerned about Saltpeter these days, I only got 131k left and am just at 79k Cannons :(

There are plenty of people who were playing for a long time before the loots were downgraded. They, like you, have storehouses and star menus bursting at the seams with goodies. And some of them are perfectly happy to pull the ladder up after them...

try some higher lvl advs. I do rb and vlt all the time. I do ok for granite. if ur still a bit low lvl for these, fear not u'll get there :) try wiki for guides, they're so simple even I can do them

[Vrisitiggsy]

Yeah, i have vlt sitting in my star menu, waiting for my population to increase sufficiently
