Candy Shop Building Guide

Melted chocolate, drizzling caramel, fancy spun sugar decorations... It's time to get a little sweet and build us a Candy Store!

The Store is a four step build with al the usual things we've come to know, requests, homestead drops and crafting. However, there are just two craftable items used across the build, one in stage 2, one in stage 3 then both repeated in stage 4. That does mean less requesting in total and we can keep going and getting stuff in advance while other things are waiting.

There's also repeats of drop items, so again we can stock up on more than we need.

So, what are we going to need? Sit back, strap in and scoff some sweeties...
