Zynga has had a very difficult time getting iOS right (if you don’t count the With Friends series), but with CastleVille Legends, it looks like they finally got it. CastleVille Legends is an addicting game with NO energy metric (shocking when you consider the entire rest of the Ville catalog) and a MASSIVE world that is waiting to be discovered. Discovering that world, however, is still a long and arduous process, but these tips can speed it up. Read on for the top 10 tips and tricks for CastleVille Legends!
10) Keep your resource units and crafting buildings running at full-tilt.
The whole game completely stops if you don’t have enough goods to complete quests or to sell them in Myra’s shop or at sea. It’s far better to have more items than less items (duh), so keep growing your Royal Vault’s supply in order to keep the progress going.
9) Gain experience as quickly as possible in order to unlock new buildings and characters.
Quests are not the only way to gain experience. You can also get experience points from selling goods to Myra, but you can especially earn experience quickly by keeping your current characters busy exploring the Ancient Legend buildings. This is arguably an even more efficient way of gaining experience than completing the actual quests is.
8) Construct buildings and resources as soon as you unlock them.
Keep checking back in the store when you gain levels to see if you have unlocked any new buildings. Even if you don’t need them immediately, you will need them shortly, and when you complete construction on them, you will gain experience points.
7) Build multiples of every building that you can.
You can have up to six of most buildings, but you have to level up to unlock the ability to build more than one of them with coins – otherwise, you have to use crowns to build them. As you progress through the game and unlock new areas, though, the ability to build duplicate buildings using coins, rather than crowns, will become available with certain buildings.
6) Use the Sea Trading to make a profit.
Buy low and sell high to make easy profits at the Sea Trading store. There is a limit as to how high that you can set the prices of items, but set them as high as possible, and when you decide to buy an item, look at the lowest priced items, or the ones that are priced exactly at market price.
