Pym's Mystery Crate Walk-through

Salutations and all that bubbly stuff!

Zynga has a new mini update to keep us busy until they roll out the next seasonal event. Captain Pym returns with a thirst for ...treasure? Apparently Liang, Glurb, and Ula have each found mysterious treasure chests. It's up to us to help Captain Pym trade new items for the chests.

Things of note:

We do not collect the crown rewards until after ALL three of the mystery crates portion has passed. If you miss one crate then the crown reward reduces by ten. The highest amount of crowns you can collect is 30.

This is a time limited quest. We have 3 days per quest to craft the items needed to trade for the mystery crate. In total, this will be 9 days in all.

The quest is broken up into three stages that unlock over time. Which means once you complete a mystery crate the bar will disappear until the next stage begins.

A player must be level 17 or above in order to qualify for the crate quest.

A player needs to update to the new version of the game(Unity player will update on its own).

Let's get going!

The start of the quest for treasure begins

Just when you thought boredom and lack of quests for November were about to nip you in the bud; Zynga rolls out an update! If you are level 17 or higher a pop-up alike the one above will appear. Click on the button to begin.

You're a captain not a pirate remember Mr. Pym?

A second window will appear. This one shows you the various parts of the crate quest. We have three(in my case it's two) days to find them all. There is also a status bar on the bottom of your screen to help show your progress.

What you need to collect:

Silver Gloves(4): 
1 Silver Wire
1 Plain Glove

Total: 4 Silver Wire and 4 Plain Glove

It's a high chance but you can still miss. Stock up on Fast Foot spells!

Tip: Send BlueBelle(she is the fairy) to the Dragon Clutch. Use your fast-foot spells to get her to come back fast. She's got the highest chance to bring back a silver wire. If you want a high risk but low duration Place of Legend then send Leif(He's the blonde bulky guy that lose his memory) to the Butterfly Oracle.

~*~

Plain Blanket(5):
7 Wool
 
Total:  35 Wool

~*~

Stardust Lantern(7): (Just when you thought you saw the last of stardust...)
3 Logs
1 Stardust

Total: 21 logs and 7 stardust

My recommended team brings plain gloves, bubbles, and stardust

Tip: Send Tanya the pirate girl and any two heroes to Fairy Falls for stardust. If you have Willow, and Cloud bring them along for the adventure. They'll bring bubbles and plain gloves.

The First Mystery Crate Reward:

The mystery crate reveals its contents...

Once we have all the items the mystery crate rewards us with white pearls, silver hinges and a golden lock. Again, remember that we do not collect the crown rewards until after ALL three of the mystery crates portion has passed. If you miss one crate then the crown reward reduces by ten. The highest amount of crowns you can collect is 30.

Get a leg ahead of the crowd:
--- Dont forget to enlarge the pictures to click directly on them.

Mystery Crate - Second Round ---

Jade Clover necklaces,  Shields, and Opal Cups

Mystery Crate - Third Round---

Blueberry Jam, Opal Stardust ring, Opal button pouches

One last thing ---
Also, depending if you want to cheese the quest or not. It is possible to pass the items back and forth through Sea trade to count toward your progress. For example: One Alliance member has bought or crafted a shield. This player then puts the item into the Alliance slot. Second Alliance member buys the shield. It now counts for the Second player. Now the Second player does the same on their ship. The First Alliance member buys the shield back and now it also counts toward their progress. This is then repeated until both players have the amount needed for the quest.

Either way you choose; Happy Playing!
