Oh no! It is taking a long time to complete the update.

Update worked ok for me.

Some new collections which have neptune, emerald, mercury etc. You can send them again to friends and also players can add these to their wish lists too now.

New quests too for the Zodiac collections.

Anniversary cake still here.

Yeah! Didn't have a problem with update and Neptune, etc that I had collected now shows in my collection list.

Im busy with the zodiac fragments, but it takes for ever to get fragments of library, fortune and hall rooms. Looked for over 10 times in each with turtle, but still nothing!
Other 4 fragments were easier...

when I backed up as previously suggested, I got a warning that restoring my game from back-up was against game rules and that if I did so, I would be banned.

I haven't updated yet. Wanted to backup first, but your post caught my eye. Do you still have Neptune and emerald? Mm took them from me and other friends at the last update!

They are now in the new pisces collection.

Quests so far, collect 8 fragments of da Vinci map. Each fragment has left side quest. Collect them all and assemble of right side quest.
Trade with thieving snatchin
Help friends
Trade with old gypsy
Search any room

I think these are right, can't remember the last one.
Search fortune teller room- silhouette mode
Search hallway
Search library

Next quest
Find book of white magic in library (existing items do not count)
Assemble da Vinci map (right side event quest)

I'm stuck finding book. Turtle seems useless on these so far:(


Next step is 5 quests that you need to ask friends for items just need 12 each (4 were from bday quest), I think ebony log is new

Next quest, click on zodiac icon of right side quest once the 5 items have been collected. This opens the ocularus spiritus mode

Next quest, explore any room in zodiac mode to find Aquarius jug, existing items dont count?
You will need 50 blue rock crystals. You arevfinding different zodiac symbols, that require their own viewfinder to even see.

I too loaded update on my iPad and I can no longer get in. It crashes on title page! I sent support request to GI but haven't heard back! Help!!!!

Awesome!!! I was so bummed when they took them! Very excited to have them back!)

Don't bother rushing to complete. Zodiac is another mode. The rooms need 50 crystals to enter and took me 6 hrs of playing to get 100. Stock up with time freezes, you get around 2 mins in the room. It's like night mode except the whole room is blue and the runes you have to find shine under the circle. My turtle ran out whilst I was playing the 2nd one and it gave me only what I would ordinarily get from the room not the new collection items that I got from the first one. Oh, forgot to say you can buy the crystals for 1 diamond each, which makes them dearer than the bunkers!

For manuscript library has to be in night mode

After aquarius jug comes turqoise (sp)

I go so fed up chasing white magic book I sent one of mine to a friend to send back, that worked too.

You can do the quests for the tools before you get the 12 of each or you can get them from friends also, just ask for lots they will still count after the 1 is collected.

I'm having the same problem. (IPad 2, IOS 6.1.2) Game crashes after the 3rd title page. I closed the app completely and rebooted - still nothing. I haven't contacted GI yet, perhaps I'll do so later.

The gypsy box and girl give 1 crystal each, the gypsy gives 4 and I haven't any gold horseshoes to test the others yet.


There may be no choice as to whether you want to enter the rooms or not. They are all gradually filling up in zodiac mode. I have entered 2 of them, the mode has not gone away and as i do others they are becoming zodiac mode rooms too!

I have found that if turtle doesn't seem to be working, use the gold clover. It's helped me with finding anniversary collection items in rooms.

Does it take a very long time to get a manuscript from the old gypsy? Or it's my bad luck only

I didnt have too much trouble with that. If I recall correctly I banished ten or so

Hmmm you are lucky then. I think I've charge the artifact 2x but useless.

was told by GI support that the Kind Snowman collection was never supposed to be included on the IPad game. It was transferred from the android version by mistake. So, we will never get those back and if you have them, you better charge them asap!

I'm fairly cretain I didn't banish the old gypsy, check and see if it's available from the boy. *memory fail*

For everyone having the same issues as we have - GI told us they "are working on solving the problem" but there probably won't be one soon, so we ill have to wait for the next update.

So - a couple of MM free weeks for me, it seems. hang on friends, I'll be back!

Took me close to 60 horseshoes, give or take a bunch
