Quick! Get inside! Gloom Dragons have just landed in your kingdom in CastleVille! You'll need to help Tom and Alastair banish these foul beasts from your Kingdom through a new series of nine quests called "The Architects." If you don't see these quests just yet, don't panic, as they are still rolling out to all players. Once you receive them, here's what you can expect to find within.

The Ancient Artifact

  • Place the Ancient Artifact

  • Have a Beastie Lab

  • Click on the Ancient Artifact


The Ancient Artifact will appear in your inventory at the beginning of this quest series, so don't worry about being required to purchase it. For finishing this first simple quest, you'll receive 1,000 coins and 20 XP.

Strange Noises

  • Feed 3 Animals


Rewards: 1,000 coins and 20 XP

House of Fire

The Compasses can be earned by posting a general news item to your wall. Meanwhile, you'll need to craft the Mystic Winds inside your Beastie Lab. You'll earn 1,500 coins and 30 XP for completing this quest.

Myrick's Flask

  • Place the Flask

  • Construct a Base for the Myrick's Flask


By this point, you will have been introduced to a lot more of this quest line's story (that we won't spoil here), and will have been given the flask by Alastair. Simply go into your inventory and place it somewhere in your Kingdom. For doing so, you'll receive 1,750 coins and 35 XP.

How to Catch a Dragon

  • Chop 10 Trees

  • Craft 3 Bags of Popcorn


Rewards: 1,750 coins and 35 XP

The Ancient Castle Builders

  • Explore the Gloom

  • Have 6 Spyglasses

  • Craft 3 Candles


The Spyglasses are earned through a general news item on your wall (note: make sure your inventory isn't full of the maximum number of Spyglasses before trying this, as the game may not register that you've been given six more by friends). The Candles can be crafted inside your Studios. For completing this quest, you'll receive 1,750 coins and 35 XP.

Garden of the Architects

  • Explore the Gloom

  • Activate Myrick's Flask

  • Activate the Ancient Artifact


If nothing else, this quest series will allow you to expand into three previously locked areas of your game board, which can then be used however you see fit after you complete these quests. You'll earn another 1,750 coins and 35 XP for completing this final quest, but don't worry about rushing; these quests aren't on a time limit, as of this writing.
