Crystal Garden
The Crystal Garden is a collection building in the Village. Constructed centuries ago by the Duchess’s ancestors, it has fallen into disrepair. Restoring its displays is one of the main objectives of The Home County.
Village goals and tokens
Village goals are viewed and scored at the notice board in the Crystal Garden’s main chamber. Each goal has three tiers; completing a tier grants tokens. Tokens can be spent at the Fountain, directly to the left of the notice board, on player, village and world upgrades.
Completing a collection also grants tokens. The 15 collections below award 180 tokens in total: 20 for each of the three fish displays and 10 for each other display.
Village traits
Spend tokens at the Fountain, to the left of the village-goal notice board, to buy these village traits and upgrades. Each trait has a token cost and grants the reward listed below. Some require a minimum village level; Upgrade Permit and Organised have no village-level requirement.
