The Sims Social's 'The Search for the Holy Snail': How to finish it fast
Hark, The Sims Social player, thy time has come to Medieval Week in Playfish's top social game. Fine, enough with the accent, but we do bring gifts of knowledge. Knowledge of this week's themed quest, "The Search for the Holy Snail," that is. (Has John Cleese been contacted about this?)
Anyway, you're going to need eight friends (six of which are actively clicking feeds), an Athletic Skill item, a Computer or Bookcase and two dirty items to succeed. Plus, you'll need at least 598 Simoleons, 2,080 Social Points. Your reward for finishing this daunting--and likely epic--quest is the M'Lord's Coat of Arms, an item needed to get Leopold's Lute later. Onward!
