Pilgrim's Manor sale

[Count Rupert]

Alright. Then it takes the second manor and one other building beyond the full set. In this case the forge.

and what does the 3/3 mean by the tomes? @helya

Confirming what everyone else has already said, you can purchase up to 3.

With the (very) likely introduction of the Tome of Forbidden Wisdom coming to Live in the next FA, this is going to come up again, only for the Forbidden Ruins set.

It will take a [Full Set] + Forbidden Ruins + 2 others* to be able to collect a second Combining Catalyst.

*as long as 2 are different

Special note that the Magic Dragon Tamer requires 3 connections, unlike the 1 or 2 for all the other secondary buildings from either set.

@Ihrlaen,

Oh wise master of city Tetris and completer of multiple sets without all the pieces...in light of the Tome of Forbidden Wisdom from the FA, paid for in blood and tears of coin rains, have you already gotten a solution for how to get multiple CCs out of Forbidden Ruins? Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Everyone who Survived Stage 3 of July 2022 FA

@crackie Alas, no. Or rather, not any additional thought since 2022/06/25, when I confirmed to my satisfaction that it would require at 2 least buildings plus the extra Forbidden Ruins itself in order to generate CCs. Quite simply, it is less flexible than the Pilgrim's set and at this point, only those who were in the Gold league OR Silver league and managed an extra Secluded Pond from the cycle can do so. Which I was not.

Speaking of, does anyone recall which building was rewarded as the Gold reward? Silver was the Magic Dragon Tamer.

Gold League for January's Forbidden Ruins:
50 KPs, 10 RRs, 2 Tomes of Sorcerer's Wisdom, Magic Dragon Tamer (set piece), Forbidden Ruins (main set piece), and a Wizard avatar portrait. @Ihrlaen

And if you do have 2 extra pieces from silver and FA?

 

[Ihrlaen]

(Small clarification above to disambiguate the the full set from the building and to add the second way to achieve the required buildings )

Two extra pieces isn't enough - you need 3, the Forbidden Ruins building and two more (1 is assumed to be the Magic Dragon Tamer). The set is just a bit awkward to add on to.

The best you can do will be something like this:

This is what I would/will do personally if/when another piece becomes available.

Below provides better secondary productions from double Sorcerers' Feast, but it comes at the expense city-usability and planning.

My memory is not the best. I think i ended up in silver, but possibly gold,. Between that and the FA that followed, i picked up an extra dragon tamer and secluded pond. Then, this FA i picked up the 2nd ruins. I have it set up slightly different but similar as the top picture. Im getting full bonus on all buildings including the 2nd CC

 

[Ihrlaen]

You’re right @Serena McTavish . I forgot about the crossover for League Silver winners that picked up the Pond from normal rewards cycle of the event but where that was not enough to reach Gold. Realm specific of course for where the cutoff between Silver and Gold was.

Thank you, @Ihrlaen. Personally, I still need to breathe into a bag when I see my Pilgrim’s Manor making 2x CCs and the holes it created in my layout, but your solution is still more elegant than what I came up with. I guess I am relieved I don’t have enough pieces yet to execute Forbidden Ruins 2x CC strategy. That second layout looks like I’m trying to deploy Galaga into my city to fight space aliens. Don’t invade yet, ETs. I ain’t ready for this.
