I think the main issue with most people here is the 'randomness' aspect from an adventure:
Do an adventure, 33% chance of getting granite.
Need to get granite to continue.
Forget that it costs 1500gc/2000gc/6000gc to get the adventure. It's the thought that it may take forever (or more than the allotted time) to get lucky and get the item to continue.
It does not help that (for some of us) the last step also includes an adventure with a random% drop that we could fail and not succeed in time.
Aside from that I think the quest line is fine. If they would tweak it so all you had to do was win (or not loose more than x amount of soldiers, etc.) then I doubt there would be that many complaints.
Or if they were insistent on the random drop% then at least make it a cheap quest that can be done quickly (horseback, witch, etc. which can all be found by explorer and completed in an hour or two).
I tried once (paid 1500gc worth of map frags to get the adventure), used up all my resources to win the adventure. Did not get granite. Decided to give up on the quest :( (it was either let my island suffer for a week or try one more time... trying two more times is not an option due to lack of resources :( )
Oh well, c'est la vie :)

Dont know for sure, but looks like schools and or love potion are not counted also for the produce settlers quest?

Ok, I'm going to post something just to brag...
I JUST COMPLETED FOUR WINDS QUEST !!!!!
And within the original timeframe. FYI I'm level 43
How I did it : focussed all ressources on that since day 1. Bought maps, love potion, drill buff. I did 7 treasure searches, 1 Outlaws, 3 Bandit nest, did numerous Wich of Swamp in between to get Old friends, and by a crazy luck only 1 Old friends. It cost me ressources like I would have never imagined : about 30 000 bronze sword ! Imagine the brew and the coins to buy it all !
But the secret to my success : I had 3 days off devoted to the quest ! Without that, I can't imagine someone doing it within the original timeframe.
Did it worth it ? I'm looking to buy a VET GEN. That's the only reason why I did it. So yes the 400 gems worth it, but if you are not looking for Gems to buy a VET, why the heck would you do the quest ??
for the challenge maybe.
Cinoche.

Event was not well thought through.
If you'd created it as a sort of 'Hardcore' Event or even made it so that it wasn't against the clock, you would have gotten much better feedback.

I am trying to complete this quest but i have huge problem in bandit nest.done it 3 times and havent got 600 granite i need to proceed. is there any specific time in day or something like that you have to finish it to get granite?dont know what to do
-
Dissapointed about the granite part, just quit the quest. Just not worth killing so many solders on a small chance that on next time it will end with granite. Good luck to all you still trying :)
-
got a quick question , im doing the last part ( sunny day) so in the dark priests do you have to destroy all small camps as well to get the granite? and does it matter if u lootspot the 2nd place in the adventure ?
-
You just have to get the right loot. It can be via lootspots or any way of finishing the adventure.
-
I just completed the quest chain, took 2 shots at Bandits and 2 shots at Old Friends to do it :)
