Just as Alastair's mentor Sal has work for us to complete in CastleVille, so too does Alastair have his own set of quests for us to finish, that go back to Sal's appearance in the game. These "Pondsy Scheme" quests will see you searching for Sal's old home, and we're here with a guide to finish them off, thanks to Zynga. First things first though, there's a standard quest that you'll need to complete before unlocking the Pondsy Scheme quests themselves.
In Search of Sal's Pond (A Fishous Cycle)
- Explore the Gloom
You'll be expanding out into a very dense portion of the gloom, complete with a swamp, dead trees and a torch. When you complete this quest, you'll receive 2,500 coins and 50 XP. Now we can move onto the actually Pondsy Scheme quests, which become available after this point.
