I’ve been playing for a few days, and I’ve got all of my mysteries figured out, but I’ll have to wait for them to grow older to solve the mysteries. With the fountain of youth my scientist has to be wiser (older) With the hair color mystery I need someone to have gray hair. All within time. Too bad I figured out too early that moon dust takes the age off your villagers. LOL

After I upgrade all of my storage buildings I’ll start on my ark and sail to new islands.

Add gems to your clothes to improve skill level.
Add moon dust to crops to advance time by 10 hours.
Add stardust to villagers to advance skill time by 1 hour.
Each time u advance your elder another level it takes a shorter time to level up.
Moon dust on villager to decrease age by 5 years.
Moon dust on child to increase age by 2 years.
Earn experience and items by completing quests and earning trophies.

I’ve been playing for a couple of weeks and I’m loving it.
I was getting a bit disheartened with the amount of time it took to level up a tribes person but then I realised that one stardust takes 1 hour off the level up time. This, coupled with gems used on the clothing helped me get my tribes woman to level 20 science in a much shorter time and now all my tribes people have been dropped into the fountain of youth :)
I’m now building my ark and looking forward to sailing to a new island! (yep…I have way too much time on hands and simple things do entertain me!! lol)
@ Kayla…..I’ve not needed seawater for anything. I’m assuming this comes from the downloadable version and is not used on the facebook version.

I have the Big Fish My Tribe game so I thought I would really enjoy the Facebook one. I like that I’m not locked in to a certain time to play. I like going to “friends” islands to pick things up.

Problem with the game is it almost requires you to spend money to get anywhere. You do not have the ability to have children often, if you don’t get many friends, it’s near impossible; your people to not gain experience simply by working certain jobs – you have to “level up”, which takes loads of time. You have to BUY stars to keep your original players from dying, in order to get anywhere.

I’m hanging on until I get a scientist up to 20 to try to get the fountain of youth. I’ll try sailing to another island, but I just don’t think I’ll last at this game. It’s much too slow – not enough give and take between what friends you do have – like sending gifts as you can do on the other facebook games. The game just seems like it’s set up to almost force you to buy pearls so you can survive.

I love the game but I am having an issue with getting the last mystery to unfold. The other problem is not enough moondust falls and my tibes people are getting older and older I think my oldest is over 140 years old and it takes the moondust to keep them feeling younger so they do not die. but there is no place to learn more about the ap so it is all just trial and error.
but it is a fun game and I play it a couple times everyday

[...] should note that Big Fish already has a couple titles running on Facebook, including Faunasphere and My Tribe. Both of these games are currently unconnected to Treasure Quest. Given Big Fish’s ambitions [...]

I used to love virtual villagers, but did not have the money to pay for it. I love this game, as it is an updated version of virtual villagers that is absolutely free for facebook users. It is nice to have a barrage of items available every two minutes – this allows the player to choose when they play rather than having to sign in at certain times.
