Information/Feedback about the Gift Wrapping Station 2022

For our Community Guide, can anyone who bought from Gift Catalogue explain how the items is delivered to your farm please?

Does it fly up to its storage like when you buy from valley shop/ claim from derby prizes?

Thank you!

As Cowslips says, Alfred delivers your purchase.

A casual player posted on Reddit that he or she used Hollies to buy 15K coins, but the coin total didn't increase by 15K. Someone posted that it was delivered as a package. The casual player tapped it and received the coins immediately.

Now that I think about it, since we order the prizes from the event catalog like the regular catalog, they must be delivered to our houses.

I have all the slots open. I did some calculations on the number of holly I need for the gifts I want. There are some things I had to consider. Uncertainty what kind of derby’s we might get next couple of weeks. Not sure how many boats will ask for long gifts. 

But the main reason was the offer we sometimes get that we can get 2 permits for hundreds of diamonds. Now I spent close to 400 diamonds, but will be able to get all deco, puzzle pieces and permits. I don’t want the blueprint’s anymore. The other stuff I get from wheating (2-3 drops every 2 minutes)

valley needs some attention also. 😉

besides all the above things activating a Tom booster at the wright moment sure does help in filling boats.

baby farms produce the products needed and also flag gift crates for help. Only risk is that friends fill those faster.

and the derby I will start and finish within couple of hours on Friday.

and yes, I do have a life. 😂😇🫢

oh, I forgot the farmpass. Tomorrow new tasks and I will be able to get the perk for activating two boosters, that will be Tom and speed up boats. 💡

What I have started doing on my last boat of the day, I fill it just before bed, then I leave it filled sitting at dock to send away in morning. Then I can make parcels overnight that will be extra, or get ahead with the blue snowflake ones, as they are always 2 items x 4 boxes now.

Edited to add, with this strategy I fill my own present crates, & can help others. I have managed to purchase so far, skating gnome, 3 x scroll, & single scroll

I’m level 170 and past boats had asked for 4x2 green parcels, but my current boat just arrived and it only wants 1x3 green parcels.

Do you mean that at the same level, you already had a boat asking for a total of 8 green gift (4 crates of 2 each) and another boat asking for 3 green gifts (3 crates of 1 each)? It seems illogic to me, be cause if your boat is big enough to request 2 green gifts in case of 4 crates, then for sure in case of 3 crates each will also request at least 2 green gifts. The amount required in 4 crates is always smaller or equal the amount required in 3 crates. I hope there is a typo somewhere, or another gift.
If you even have a scrrenshot, I think you could report a bug.



I don't understand "all others". All other boats? ALl other gift? All other items on the same boat? Could you please clarify?

Does anyone know if the gift box ingredients will be changing or will they remain the same throughout the holiday event?

Hi Frog. Talking about the gifts only.  All the other boats have needed 1x4 or 2x4 of the green gifts. 

Hi Frog, yes that’s what I mean… prior to the 3x1 green I’d had 4x2 green twice.

Also, my new boat wants 4x1 purple whereas previously it only had asked for 3x1 purple, so perhaps they are just randomizing the holly now.

Absolutely loving this event btw. Actually looking forward to the boats which is very unlike me (townie and trucker) usually. :-)



 

I’m not sure if it would be easy for SC to change the ingredients. It would entirely make sense to do so though being how expensive the slots are and deter people from going over kill on presents. It also would introduce a new factor into your storage as when to faze out entirely the old gifts. Thus bringing another challenge, recouped losses for unused gifts. But, this is probably already figured out since when the event ends, many will have left over gifts.

Either way, I’m good with whatever happens.

I’ve had four purple boats in a row now: 3x1, 4x1 yesterday then 3x2 (!) and 4x1 so far today. That’s 17 purple boats in a row … my poor sugar! Next boat wants the long gift - hoping it’s just a 3x1.

But on the bright side I am gaining boatloads of holly so it’s all good. Already bought the skater gnome, 5 permits, 2 puzzle pieces, 3 land deeds, 5 saws, and have a good head start on the chick vouchers and more permits for Monday.

Same here my 150 lvl farm is getting requests for snowflake gifts 90% of the time, but 4x2, very frustrating. At least the other farms are getting a little more variety now.

Just wondering, do you just load the GWS random with gifts, or do you wait producing them when you know what type and number your next boat needs?
