I debated about whether to post this question in General or glitches. In this week’s derby, three of the people in my neighborhood do not have any scrolls as horseshoe rewards. There maybe others who haven’t replied yet, too. Anyway, this seems strange, or at least ill advised. All of us need scrolls or we can’t open land. Two of the three can’t collect the puzzle pieces we get because we have all the sanctuary animals. So what we really need, and want to collect, is scrolls.
One person mentioned that last time she didn’t get any scrolls, she also didn’t get any when she reset the horseshoes with diamonds. We play the derby at least in part to get scrolls and regular expansion materials. Is anyone else experiencing this? It is certainly a disincentive to bother with the derby.
As a side note, one of the people with no scrolls in the derby also has no scrolls in this valley. Pretty weird, yes?

More often than not I don't get scrolls as derby rewards, tbh its kinda put me off the derby, the rewards are pretty poor. I usually have a couple of scrolls in the valley, only once I didn't get any at all. This month I have 3 there.

Expansion Permits (scrolls) will appear only in columns 4 and 7 of the horseshoe prizes in most Derbies, (but the Chill Derby is different). They can also appear in the additional columns in Bunny Derbies. Their appearance is not guaranteed, though!
I always aim to collect as many expansion permits as I can, and I choose to refresh the horseshoe prizes if there are no scrolls. I lock items that I want in any of the columns except 4 and 7, and then re-spin. It sometimes takes more than one spin to get the permits, but I'm happy to spend a few diamonds this way. I know it won't suit everyone!

No scrolls in the valley is really odd. I've always had at least two available in any given valley season.
Like Cowslips, I always hunt for permits in columns 4 and 7 for most derbies. Chill derby will only give you a permit chance for the 15th horseshoe. I also reroll to get all permits in the 3 bunny/bingo columns, valuing them much more than puzzle pieces.

So, the point for my hoodies would be to not lock anything in those columns to increase the odds? I don’t know if they will care to spend diamonds this way, but it will be good to be informed, at least! For the record, this is my first time of having zero scrolls/expansion permits. I guess I have been extremely lucky!

I also have no permits in my horseshoes. Not the first time this has happened but usually I get one. I also use the method described by Cowslips. Sometimes I get them but sometimes it is to no avail. I only ever re spin twice.

I know it won't suit everyone! This is what I do also. It normally only takes me 1-3 re-rolls to get all the scrolls (2 in normal, 5 in bingo/bunny, 1 in chill) but sometimes can take more. Overall, I pay way fewer diamond for derby scrolls than I do for lucky bonus scrolls.

I also have no scrolls in my derby rewards this week – and none in the valley either.
When I don't get two scrolls in my derby rewards I always reshuffle twice (unless I get them after the first shuffle), and it's unusual for me to get two, even after two shuffles.
I'm annoyed by how stingy SC is with the scrolls, especially because they used to be so many more. If I remember correctly, it used to be standard to get two every derby (without reshuffling), and they appeared pretty often in the mystery boxes. I think SC has gone too far in making them so scarce.

Not many scrolls for me either. Slipped my mind about refreshing for scrolls. Thanks!

I also have to shuffle a lot to get scrolls. They are probably the reason to keep doing derbies for me. As deco became so rare in derby rewards.

Derby rewards, maybe shuffled with diamonds. Wheel of fortune (maybe, sometimes with multiple diamond spins.)
Lucky bonus there’s a chance to get one, for a bunch of diamonds, likely. Valley shop maybe/maybe not, if you have the tokens (may or may not use diamonds there)
Farm pass was added, once upon a time, so some there (are there any on the free path?). More if you buy the extensions.
Occasional holiday events, either at Greg’s or task events.
Is there a possibility for scrolls in the catalogue? I forget.
They used to have them in boxes on the farms, but not anymore, right? Used to have them on boats for a while, like puzzle boats, didn’t they? Or was that an experiment. Or my mind playing games with me, lol.
It feels like I see them in several places, but they’re still far too rare, imo. Unless I want to pay $17/month to play and can get all the farm pass extensions, then I’ll for sure get those 7 or 8/month. Can’t really afford that. Did they gradually add the “paid” opportunities to get them and remove more of the free ones, like the boxes?

I got a scroll from a box in town recently. They still exist. Yes, they still exist, but they're extremely rare. Since SC made the change from having them appear fairly often in the boxes to almost never (and completely removing them from the larger boxes), I've gotten exactly two--and I think it's been at least two years (though I'm not sure about the time frame). I think I used to get about one a week, though I don't remember the exact frequency either.

I don’t think I ever got one a week but certainly it was more frequent than now.

No permits in the horseshoes is a normal thing for me, too. I am happy if I get one. But usually there are no permits. But I think it has even gotten more worse over the last month or the last year at all. I don't reshuffle. I began to play derby in low level and there diamonds were more useful for other things like my machines and permits were not needed so much. So I saved my diamonds for other things. And saving diamonds is still in my mind. So I don't often re-shuffle. I think when all my permits that I have collected are gone I will change my mind. But for the moment I still play like this. BTW thanks cowslips for the tipp not to lock anything in column 4 and 7. Good advice! I know that the permits are in these columns. But if there were good prizes I also locked something in this column. Think it would be better not locking anything. I haven't thought about this before. I have started playing hayday some years ago. So not long enough to know the time when permits weren't so rare they are now. But I have heard that many times in the past. Right, in mystery boxes they still can appear. But very, very rare. The boats with permits are totally gone. And at the moment SC won't bring them back. The reason is a secret. I was in a live stream from Ricky Burnett some weeks ago and Hayday came in (think it was Chris). And the boats with permits were mentioned and asked to bring back the event. He only answered: There is a reason why this one is gone. If it comes back we will let you know MommySnooks 🐯 With catalouge do you mean the catalouge that comes with the special event on easter or christmas with the wrapping machine / easter egg machine? There are permits, yes. If you mean the gifts catalouge from alfred, no. I checked it. Diamonds yes, permits no. And back to topic. I also have the experience that derby rewards are getting really worth. Permits are very rare. I haven't seen a deco for many weeks now. Perhaps even nothing in this year..... 🤔🤔 Puzzles are more often. I think I have a puzzle nearly every week. But I have so many animals to unlock, so I don't count them. I am happy if I have the chance to get them. But I don't stress me with this.

He only answered: There is a reason why this one is gone. If it comes back we will let you know People speeding boats with gems possibly, but that's dealt with fairly easily by putting a cap on the number of scroll boats for the event, like the limit of 5 puzzle boats for those events.

Good thought, but I don't think that this is the reason. Since 2023 there haven't been an event with scrolls. But I remember one in 2022 and 2021. IIRC the event worked the same like the puzzle boats. You only got the 5 boats with permits.

Still get them almost weekly (when I play) in the earlier mentioned colomns. Also this week. Just wondering if people that don’t spent money on the game get them less.

I am just one person, so who knows, but I spend more money on the game now than in the past, but I get fewer scrolls. This week I will get two though, after being completely shut out last week - even after using diamonds to reset the horseshoes while leaving columns four and seven unlocked. This was also the case for my hoodies last week. This week I am not sure yet if others in my neighborhood are doing better or not.

Amazingly, I have 2 scrolls this week, but it's been ages since I've had any at all. Last derby I used about 20-25 diamonds trying to get some scrolls and nothing! I vowed not to use diamonds again pn the derby to try and get some!
