New daily quest is a really good idea. I know there new so I'm sure the quests will get better, but just killing one monster seemed a little easy. Just an idea but for the daily quest maybe give three choices. The first one, basiclly what they gave today. Kill 1 random monster, with a small reward. The second, Kill "5-10 of same monster" for maybe about twice the reward? The hardest quest would be Kill _ ammount of rare monsters (tom thud, zapper, sweeper stu) So the person accepting the quest actually has to go out looking for these monsters in GD or whatever, and it will actually be a challenge to get done in the 24 hour timeframe.

Please label your items properly... my 86 "rare" roses or my 108 "rare" ancient tablets aren't as "rare" as my 0 shiny rubies... AND all three drop off the same boss!

It would be nice if you could sell or trade in unused items for money or materials. Otherwise there's not much point in having over 500 rusty screws

[SUGGESTION] At first - quest rewards are pathetic. For example - what is 500 wood and 50 metal for beating tough lvl 37 boss while I have over 60k of each resources? It's totally pointless that you guys offer us quest with simply no reward. It's an issue which may be used much better to improve game's attractiveness. The second thing is that it might be useful if you could add 3 hotkeys to activate each grinn in fight. Then we could just click at monsters to target them. Much more comfortable. Awesome game though.

I have 6 quests open, and can't click on the last one because it's off screen. Of course it's the daily quest. Any chance of implementing scrolling? Or, at least, putting the daily quest at the top of the list instead of the end?
Thanks!

"Freemium" "games" like this embody all that is wrong with today's gaming culture, on both the developers' and players' parts.

The bestiary suggestion isn't too much info, it's info that's already present when you are facing the monsters and has already been collected in wiki form.

Just as a suggestion - the collection sound, after rallying or defeating enemies - that high-pitched 'ring' ... i dont want to turn the sound off because it adds to the atmosphere, but after rallying and gathering the screws/bolts/whatever, and after defeating the baddies and scraping together the haul of goodies... that ring gets to me so i DO hafta turn the sound off...
Any chance ya can change that a bit? :)
Otherwise, like others have said, most of these types of games I dont even bother with - but THIS ONE, keeps me coming back for more - even if at the moment, I only stop by once or twice a day for daily quests/wood & metal farming (and upgrading wood/metal production/storage).
Fun game!!

This game is highly addicting, has a superb musical arrangement, and top notch graphics (tip my hat to those who worked on the art throughout the game). However there is something I want to draw attention to that becomes more apparent as you progress to higher tier equipment and upgraded buildings. That is, the unbalanced resource economy. A great example is the bakery. Once you start producing loaves and up, the resource cost to feed your heroes is/almost is greater than the resources gained from farming mobs (exploring). There are obvious ways around this through job changing, but the cost does not seem proportional to the item. That is only one example, however I doubt it is necessary to elaborate further. I just want to throw this out there in hopes the Developer may read it. Thanks again for the wonderful game.

I really like the game. But there should really be a trading section or market place or something. It'd be nice to be able to sell the multiple items we collect, or trade items for resources. (metal for wood, boxes into potions ect). Would just be nice to clear out the stuff I dont want or need in my equip and items section.

suggestion: maybe make a hat shop that makes hats for a lot resources but no ingredients like the weapon and the armor shop. its very hard to get rubies and diamonds so this can be helpful.

I have to say, The Grinns Tale is one game that I really like. Other games similar to this only held my attention for a day or so. I like the fact while waiting for a building/corp/item to finish you can go and explore dungeons and slay creatures. I have to say, you did an amazing job with this game!

I have to say, the Grinns aren't especially environmentally friendly if they have to make new pots and pans every time they make a batch of muffins. Or do they not have sinks to clean them with after use?

it would be great if the Librarian gave stats on the creatures - ie. their armor against different damage - and their attacks etc.

Getting tired of hitting the level up ceiling while I wait for the rare items to upgrade the buildings for archers, etc.

I would like to suggest a way to cash in items found for items needed. i have over 600 brooms that i really don't need in the foreseeable future...

The game realy needs more options to saving our time. So it'll be nice to make command for all your structures of the same type. I mean when you choose to produce Vibrant Potion in Item Store holding SHIFT (for example) it'll be producing in all idle Item Stores

For all the time and effort that's clearly gone into this, it could easily be a game I'd pay money to download. The money for ingame items and resources idea is a worse deal for the player and the designer in this case!

@Todie85, Your storage is most probably full. Make sure you have space in your storage and then try and collect more resources.

It would be really cool if you could permanently assign villagers that are not heroes to certain jobs that they could improve at for example a miner where they got experience every time the mine was full and when they leveled up they increased the production rate just a suggestion fun game though

I got my rubies in the infinite dungeon (just like they promised they upped the droprate there)... Just do up to lvl 15 or so and make sure the killing blow is with the adventurer with ability pickpocket. (I admit that I did this when it was still possible to use cheap food... the croissant trick.)

Drop rate for shiny rubies and diamonds needs to be increased please! Especially since we can't get them from gifting on this version of the game.. otherwise AWESOME GAME!!! XD
Make sure you are killing the right Monsters for the drops you are looking for. Also, the drop rates in the Grinnfinite Dungeon have been adjusted recently, so you might want to try farming in there. Good luck!

Hey, is this game going to keep getting updates? I am currently at the top of the tower and periodically check back to see if anything has changed in game. Aside from a few contests, nothing has happened. No more floors. I was really hoping to see the ending to the story.
So, this comment may be directed at the creator of The Grinns Tale. Should I just give up playing?

I feel like Ricochet should apply to the Clerics heal attack as well, like for a sort of group heal. It would still only do half the amount for the member not targeted, and if the Cleric is self-targeting, it'd heal another random target.
Maybe?

I think monsters should drop keys. You have to buy keys with pramins which you can't get easily. You should also pramins more common.

A SUGGESTION: To make the bestiary more effective and useful show the amount of HP that the monster has, the element that the monster uses (if it has one) and show the speed of the monster. I would also like to see what character the monster would most likely hit (front, middle, back, all or random) but could you make it so that it would be unlocked by killing the needed amount of monsters, like 5-10 monsters

@Leelani, if you are able to get a fuzzlehorn, they will eat your brooms and other misc items and turn them into better items :)

Better than most pay to play games, but it's still a pay to play. I'd be willing to dish out a few dollars for a game I really like to get cool costumes and stuff, but this game tries your patience and gives you a way out by offering to let you pay for it. All this pay to play junk isn't in the essence of true gaming and I really wish they'd do away with it.

Awesome game - really addictive - I should be working, not playing Grinns... that being said I agree with being able to sell stuff - or at least break them down into resources that make sense - ie. brooms could be turned into wood, nuts & screws & springs could be turned into metal.
I agree on the farming too - should get 2 or 3 items - or just reduce the time - or get as many items as you assign villager actions or something to balance it / make it worth while. The one thing I have not seen yet - and maybe its just because I am so low level - is firearms for my hero's... it would be cool for some classes to have ranged and close combat - like the adventurer could have sword and gun - or maybe archers could become riflemen.
A way to feed your hero's before going into battle would be good - maybe an "Inn" or "restaurant" that you could leave your hero in for an hour or 2 hours even so that they come out well fed.

It would be nice if quest rewards scaled better with the late game costs; after investing tens of thousands of lumber and metal to "Explore Tower Floor 37," 500 lumber and 50 metal is not a very rewarding reward.

I have a couple of suggestions. A revive ability for the cleric around level 38-42 would be cool. Also, haste potions would come in handy. Cheers:)
