I have 3 timepiece puzzles to go plus the Princess #5. If I end up going no farther, I'll have to be happy with that. I've been working on Princess #5 since I got to the expert level, since I knew it was the hardest. And I've been working on the 2nd timepiece puzzle for about 6 weeks now. I expect that some day I'll get lucky with that one but it's really on the back burner now - I don't expect to finish the game anymore.
Oh GriddleBone, been there, done that! Just one more swap and I'd have this ***cant say what I think about this board because I'd have to give myself an edit and a slap on the fingers! *** board done months ago! I'm giving it a rest for a while but I will beat his board! Gggrrrrrrr.....I will not be beaten by little Princess whats-her-name...ok now that I have that off my chest...
Oh Griddlebone, do you mean that you finally showed that Princess who's boss? Congratulations! I haven't attacked that board for a while now but plan on spending some serious time before summer's over...It's my last board! I didn't mind the time piece boards so much...Maybe I could send you my game and have you do the Princess and I'd do your time piece ones... Again, kudos to you for finishing her off; that is one tough board!
wowcongrats to both of you. I gave up on Heritage. I still can't get thru some lower people in expert mode, let alone Princess. Went back to JQII - in 2nd bonus super hard. Doing okay tho.
HELP!!! Can anybody tell me how to deal with the "exclusive gems" that look like flaring diamonds? What's the deal with them? Is it better to match them & get rid of them? I can't move on unless I beat these boards ... It's the Isabel Moctezuma board #'s 2, 4 & 5 HELP of any kind would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, Shurbert. Rumor has it that when you get the exclusive gems, we'll get new clothing choices in the Hotel. Just kidding (sadly).
The only matches on the exclusive jewels boards that cause a permanent change to gold for a given set of tiles are matches of exclusive jewels, So the short answer is yes, match them! It doesn't hurt you at all to match them (they aren't those danged black crows) so if they're in your way, get them off the board.
If you match, say, three rubies, the squares will briefly turn gold but it will fade. This is maddening to me - too much "flaring" going on for my tastes. If you match three diamonds, the gold "sticks". You probably know this part since you have finished #1 and #3.
Specific boards: I think Isabel #4 is the hardest of her boards. You need to try to get the "feet" (center bottom) cleared while keeping an eye on the extreme left and right, including the single tiles sticking out in the 2nd row. The middle will probably take care of itself while you're making matches in the bottom two center rows.
Isabel #5: While the common jewel matches won't turn the squares to gold, you can use them to clean out the long horizontal bars near the bottom, then just move diamonds into those squares as they come by. Because the bars are sheltered, new jewels won't fall into them when you clear them out. It's easier said than done. While you're doing that, you need to make diamond matches on the far left and right at the top. This might be harder than #4 for some people, but I had more problems with #4.
Isabel #2: The toughest part of this board (for me) is getting three diamonds to the bottom row when and where you need them. The far upper left and right corners can also be frustrating. I think the only thing that works here is to keep trying and hope for good gem drops; you use the common jewels to force the diamonds to go where you want.
Three tough boards. I didn't get any of them on first try when I was playing them just now to refresh my memory. Good luck!

Thanks Griddlebone Font reduced to normal size (12) from size 16, as stated in the Topics & Guidelines for Game Chat Forum; we do ask that posts be in normal font size...a word or two here and there in larger font sizes is cool though...Try playing with using colours to make your post stand out; that makes them pop and makes the Forums so much prettier too...

Heritage is now Free-Ad Supported. That means many more people are going to learn the wonders of Princess Teotlalco! I remember the good old days, when I thought the silver version of Princess #5 was hard. And the even better old days, when I didn't realize there was a silver (regular) and gold (expert) level. Or wait! Have I said too much!?!?
Welcome to the folks joining us in Heritage land. This game is worth the money, so it's a huge bargain as ad-supported.
There are 10 boards for Isabel, 5 regular and 5 expert. I'm going to make the assumption that you're still working through the pedigree the first time. When you get to expert mode three of the boards are modified and there are changes to how much time you get to finish. Anyway, I assume you're having general problems with the exclusive jewels, which are the diamond shaped sparkling or flaring jewels.
Read my message to Shubert3 above from 25 July. The short version is that matches of regular jewels don't count for turning tiles gold. The only matches that will permanently turn tiles gold is matches of exclusive jewels. Good luck!

Yeah, it's really frustrating. Let's see if anyone knows where's the ***edited for vulgar language*** missing piece :@

You might want to edit your post for language before the mods do it for you. Everything here is child-appropriate language.
Anyway, for Francesca De La Cueva's portrait just keep working on the individuals whose portraits are complete, even if they are higher on the tree than dear Zia Francesca. Sooner or later you will find all the pieces of her portrait. I think it's an effort on the part of the designers to force us to think in a non-linear fashion. I know where the missing piece is, but why spoil your fun?
For the first half of the game, where you're turning the frames to silver, you may find it helpful to read the Strategy Guide for JQ Heritage that's available here on iWin. Go to Support, then under Knowledge Base choose Game Play Experience, then Game Strategy Guides. It's not going to help you a whole lot on the second half of the game, but by then you know how to play all the boards. You just have to do it faster and better.
I am stuck on the liabrian.... what do you have to do to unlock th eboxes. I have tried the key at top, one top and each side , tried key on top of each locked box at same time.... nothing unlocks and cant move on till do
Love the jewel quest games but very annoyed with the heritage one.Took me 3 days to complete the last board on william pack but cannot go any further as not got the right puzzle pieces.not amused
Heritage has a reputation for taking a while... a long long while. You're right about the last Wm Pack board - it's a stinker.
Usually people don't think they've run out of puzzle pieces until they get to Francesca De La Cueva. Look around the family tree and see if there is anyone for whom you have all the puzzle pieces. That person might be higher up on the tree. If you really have nobody that can be started, then you must have missed a board somewhere along the way. Review all the people you've done and make sure that there is a check by each board.
The JQ4 Strategy Guide tells you which puzzle pieces you get for each board. It's found in the iWin Knowledge Base. See my post of July 31 for more explicit instructions of how to get it. Have fun!
Hi griddle,have checked all the people ive done and every board has been completed but according to the stratergy guide i should have all pieces for virginia la salle but ive only got 2 ? ? ?

I'm not sure, then. Maybe you should go back to the strategy guide and note which boards were supposed to give you pieces for Va. LS, and re-do those specific boards.
While typing that, I had a thought. How many puzzle pieces do you have on the slider at the bottom of the screen? Have you panned all the way to the right to find any that are hidden when the page first comes up?
Good job. That's Virginia La Salle #1, and for that high score I'll assume you were not using Expert mode so you had more time to make matches as the clock ran out. My score on that one was 16,609, but I didn't make the extra matches at the end. I'll have to try it again and see if I can beat 30,000.
Then I'll have to learn how to do video screen capture!

Eps... Look above for a screen shot of how I almost beat Princess #5. (I just fixed the link.) Now, I tried the same strategy of shooting straight down in the 2nd and next to last columns probably hundreds of times, and I never won with it. Got close, but never made it. When I did beat the board, it was by breaking out in the 1st or 3rd column and the last or 2nd to last column up near the top, then breaking through to the bottom islands any way I could. I paid special attention to turning the top squares in the middle section gold because as you can see even in that failed board above, once the jewels drop away from them it's very hard to get back to them.
I will, sometime in the future, try to make some screen shots that illustrate what I'm talking about, but I'm in no hurry to go back and try that board again.
Since English is the preferred (required?) language of the forums, I've answered a Spanish-language question in a PM. In short, ask your question - either using a translator or ask in a PM - and I will try to respond (probably using screen shots! )

Hi, shirleyal. You need to turn all the spaces gold AND put all the monkeys into cages. To put a monkey in a cage, get the monkey next to a cage - above, below, or beside it - then drag him in with your cursor. He'll give a most satisfying little scream as you do so.
In the screen shot below I've put one monkey into a cage (red arrow) and have several others ready to be caged (example: white circle).
Look for someone that is finished, and do the puzzles there. Sometimes the missing piece is higher on the ancestral tree, so you can't work in order.
If you're really stuck, click on Support, then on the left side of the screen, click on Game Play Experience, then choose Game Strategy guides. There is a strategy guide that tells you where all the portrait pieces are found.
I am trying to find out how to win the pearls in expert mode (princess teotlalco). it is in swap mode for 100 swaps and after at least 1000 tries i can't seem to win HELP
That would be the 5th Princess board in Expert mode, right? Keep trying. I was on that board for months. You have a maximum of 4 pearls at a time, so if there are 4 showing and you're making matches hoping for another in a specific location, you're wasting your time. If you read back in this thread, you'll see a lot of us have been frustrated with this board.
Not much help, am I?
P.S. Looking back, I see none of my graphics are showing. That is because we moved the server this weekend. They will show again when the Internet catches up with our new address.

Hi as Griddlebone says just keep trying... I too was stuck on that board for months & then one day I beat it... my advice is to try it maybe a few times a day but don't let yourself get frustrated with it... eventually you too will beat it

@Mookky1995: You may be a new player (we always like to see new JQ fans!) but 340 Heritage boards in 14 hrs. is impressive. That means you have about 9 to go. Probably they are... Moctezuma's 6 Expert boards, Princess #5, and my guess would be two of the timepiece boards, but that's because I'm not very good at those. Some people have more trouble with monkeys or swaps or crows. Other than Moctezuma's boards, which ones are you still trying to beat?
Moctezuma's boards, when you unlock them, are very difficult but very fun. If you completed Princess #5 plus 339 others in the time frame you mentioned, I bow at your feet.
Mookky1995 wrote:How to uupload picture? I can't do this
You need to have your picture file hosted on a web server. You can't just upload it from your computer.
There are a lot of photo hosting sites out there that don't charge for a limited amount of picture storage. You can do a search for "photo sharing service" to find them. I have my own web server so I can't recommend any of these places good or bad. Once your photo is uploaded it will have its own URL or web address. Most of the photo sharing sites will also give you cut and paste lines to add your picture to an email or discussion forum posting.
On the iWin forums you need to enclose the URL in the BBCode img tag. If you don't have a cut and paste line from the photo sharing site, the easiest way to do this is to use the standard editor (not the quick editor), put the URL into your post, highlight it (select it), then click on the Img button at the top of the editor. You can also type in the tags: [img] goes in front of the URL and [/img] goes at the end of the URL.
Be sure to preview your post to make sure you got it right before hitting submit.
If you need to upload a screen shot to Customer Support, that's different. You can just attach it to your ticket straight from your computer. I am thinking you're asking about pictures to show a situation in the game.

Oh, Mild1, I'm glad you're around. I have a question for you. Do you remember doing Heritage Silver? I think bonus points are limited to 9999, at least in Silver. Did you notice that?
Congrats on the new record. I am re-playing the Silver boards so that one player name has all the records in Silver. Usually it's really easy to beat my first effort with the other player name. I must have improved.
@Griddlebone This is true.
My record (Big score) not on Virginia La Salle but my record on Diego Luis Moctezuma #4 (Very big board) score 104K bonus 4K First play 7 common jewels (very hard) but next time clam gold coins and unlock blocks become to easy to get big score - 6 common jewels and I got 104 combos.In Expext mode I got 30K points in this board (Expect is not long time to turn all space to gold).I'm king of score in all JQ.
My score in All JQ
JQ1 - 27.3K
JQ2 - 35.4K
JQ3 - 19.1K (Tournament mode)
JQ4 - Nomal : 108.0K,Expect : 30K
JQ5 - 227.9K (Use power ups),22K (Without power ups)
JQ6 - 40.1K (Use Tanya)
JQOP - 17.9K
Font reduced to just a little bit larger than normal size - posts should be in normal font size (12) as stated in the Forum Guidelines. A word or two here and there in larger font sizes is cool but keep it subtle. Size 24 is unnecessary, especially if you use colored fonts to make your words pop. Too much emphasis hurts our eyes!
