My Lands: Black Gem Hunting

hi i am new to the game and seem to be struggling with growing and figuring out what to upgrade and not to upgrade and how to gain resources faster. I am in need of a mentor in a bad way. I will great appreciate any one willing to take this task on and once i graduate will pass along what i have learned and what i learn in the game after that by taking on an apprentice as well.

Hello, how has your kingdom been doing? Did you ever find a mentor?

My guess, Hexxus, is he was not successful in finding a mentor. Pity that!

I find many begin the game, play for 5 minutes, log onto forum and ask for help, then log off and disappear.
