Why is the gate closed?

I said brace yourself…but I lied. I squealed and hopped in my seat when I saw this quest. I was beyond ready for some new content.

 

• Why is the gate closed?

Go speak to the Mayor of SilverGlade. Try to hide your excitement.

• A reason to open the gate

He’ll send you to the castle to look at a painting of the Golden Hill Valley Mayor Klaus. Make sure to click on the painting.

 

• A fake idea

Speak to the mare about your idea.

• Qeustion of a camera

Go to Fort Pinta and ask James to borrow a Camera. I was waiting on some large quest but surprisingly he coughed it up!

• Key photo

Go take a photo of the painting

• Painted photo
• Printed photo

For these all you have to do is take the camera to Derek. He’ll remark that it’s unique and then print it out for you.  Now it’s time to find someone who can make a key for you. We know who that is don’t we?

• Can you forge a key?

Yes! Yes, Conrad can!

— Okay, confession time, there is either a “Wait until tomorrow” here or right after “Little apprentice”. I know. A little piece of me died when it happened.

• Blacksmith’s little apprentice

Okay! so this isn’t too hard, you’ll be dragging objects from you’re inventory to the places that pop up on your screen. What I did to make it easier on my self is move all my stuff to the bottom of my inventory. So the only things I could grab would be the tools. It may seem like it drags on…but I promise it does finish up.

 

You now have a rough key…

 

 

As you can see I was pretty far into level 12 before I was able to do this. ^.^

Finished Barrels. Marley, Marley, Marley.

I’m super hyped about the barrel racing arena. 😀 I’m ready for a change in pace.

Okay… here we go.

 

This is pretty short and straight forward so…not much on the visual aid.

 

Conrad

• — Finished Barrels

Speak to Conrad. Take the barrels back to Marley.

 

Marley

• — Build the course

Set the Barrels in the empty arena area.

Speak to Marley.

• — My brother the inspector 

Run to the Winery and speak to Carney. I don’t understand why he bristles every time his brother is involved. It’s not like he’s James or something. -shudder-

Wait until tomorrow.

 

No barrels for me. -.-

No pictures. This part of the quest was a little disappointing. You’ll see why.

Security

• — Security is first and foremost

Speak to him.

Done.

Yep. Got slammed with the little yellow clocks.

 

 

Marley Has an Idea. Uh, oh.

Marley

•  — Marley’s New Idea

I’m actually excited about this one since I have yet to see anything other than racing, jumping or pole bending. Marely wants to make a Barrel Racing Arena. You need to pick up his rule book.

Derek

• — Post with a plan

Pick up Marely’s rule book and take it too him.

Marley

• — Barrels for the race

I really don’t like James, and if you don’t either, Marley is about to give you another reason for the list. He ordered barrels from James and hasn’t gotten them. It’s our job to find out what’s going on.

James

• — Fort Pinta Or Fir Grove?

Why that little jerk! It was his job to make sure that the barrls got to Marley, but it’s all “Oh well, you want them…go get them.” I’m hoping karma serves him a cold one…soon. Ever since the Mississippi Jones quest he’s just gotten more rotten.

Okay, so apperently the driver took the fir grove mountain passage.  The passage starts at the second light post in Fir grove. If you just follow the trail you’re going to find two of them in plain sight.

However  one barrel is off of the trail. It’s not far from the beginning of the climb, As a matter of fact, from the right angle you can look down on the championship arena.

You’ll find all three before reaching valedale lake.

Drop them off to Marley. I felt bad that his barrels were broken.

Wait until tomorrow

• — Smiths new barrels

After talking to Marley, go see Conrad. I..uh…cheated and called for a pick up.

Conrad

• — New wood for broken barrels

Conrad is a bit of perfectionist. But in a good way. I’m still so mad at James that I’m glad someone wants to make nice barrels for Marley.  You need to go to Valedale Lake. And find the odd tree out. (er. Only one of it’s kind)

Seems a little obvious when you look at it like that doesn’t it?

You’ll find wood along the trail leading up to the oak. Wood around the oak, and there’s a lot of wood strung along the shore line near the oak’s rock base. I grabbed what I needed.  (There’s much more than what you need laying around) And I called for a pick up. Like normal.

• — New Iron for the barrels

This is pretty simple. Go into the mine near the simthy and pluck out some iron. Bring it back.

Come back tomorrow.

NOTE: I don’t spend my star coins on “Spending the night” You can spend yours how you want but for me the price is just a little too steep for my taste. I’m just trying to keep the quest pieces together for you.
