Stuck for want of goods and coins

It is a main quest - to buy a migrant family of 10 and then place them in the mayor's house.

can you not lend a noble deed off a friend in the game just to add them then send it back to them?

or if you cant trade yet ask a friend if they can gift you one then you can send it back once you can trade

sorry I don't know what you mean lulu. For starters I don't have any friends in Newfoundland except one who just started tonight and now I've got to the stage where I can't complete anymore quests. One says halve the time of a specialist, one is to pay to complete a building instantly and both of these mean spending gens. While I haven't finished the send the family to the mayor's house quest, I am not allowed to use gems to pay for anything. That quest is holding everything up unfortunately. I friended you but you are on a different world so I can't ask you to help me unfortunately. If you can see some way to it would be great.

Just to mention, if you have the provision house you can convert stone to marble and pinewood planks to hardwood planks, which allows you to utilise these commodities before you can actually produce them.

Hey NOELEENL, have you looked through your Quest Book thoroughly? Hairy's right about being able to ignore those quests for a bit, none of the three quests you mention give xp, nor do any of them unlock quests that do but there should be something available that does. Until level 15 (when you can start winning xp by defeating Bandits) there should always be a quest that gives xp. For level 9 take a look in "System Functions" for "Further Help" or in "Tool Production" for "Copper" or "Mines".

If those have all been done and there is nothing else that gives xp but the game hasn't noticed and you haven't done this already refresh the browser window and log out and in again. Things sometimes stick. Hope that helps a bit.

Soon you will have a quest to upgrade some buildings and while the game should supply the resources if you run short Foxy1's tip about Provisions is a great one. Try not to upgrade too many Residences though, at 19 you can build Noble Residences and they hold more Settlers than the plain sort. There is a tradeable version of Nobles for gems which is what lulu meant, if you can trade, have a friend with a spare one and are in a pinch borrowing it for a bit is a common way to fit in some extra Settlers before returning it. That's usually something that happens a bit further on the game but it's handy to have in the back of your mind for later, just in case.

A general bit of advice: Unless you buy gems don't spend any unless a quest asks for them, before too long you'll get an idea of what they're worth and they're worth a fair bit indeed. Hang on to your Coins as well, in early levels the game throws a fair few your way but it won't always be like that.

NOELEENL, ignore quests and clear your island from bandits first.
