Yes, why is duct tape SO rare?!
I can sell almost 100-150+ planks and bolts before I get enough duct tape to upgrade my barn. And it's so frustrating! Am I the only one in this situation?

Nope, you're not the only one. :) There are others who also have tape woes. Me though, I have a hard time finding planks and I have too many tapes (600-700). We each have that tool that's harder to find.
It appears it's different for everyone. For me, I tend to get Planks most and Bolts the least. Often I need to trade some Planks to re-balance my Tape & Bolt stock.
LOL, I'm the reverse of you. I get tons of duct tapes before getting bolts and planks. My plan is don't hoard tapes and sell them off so I just have enough for next upgrade.Quote:

For the last 6 months, I have had trouble finding duct tape. Lately it is planks. I am finding axes like crazy, low on saws... I have no answers!
I'm flush with Tapes, and always scrounging for Bolts. Each farm has a different piece of the trinity that is less likely to appear.
I KNOW! ;) I've been looking for tapes for years.. Nothing is more rare to me than tapes. It might be nice if it changed sometimes. I've always gotten too many planks. It might be refreshing if suddenly it were planks that were rare.. I don't know if I could adjust though. I will always be happy whenever I get a tape..
Edit: btw, I'm missing one tape at the moment to expand. Just one.. It feels like an eternity sometimes until you get that last one. But I'll start playing in a minute and I'm sure I'll get it pretty quick this time, right?
I've been lucky in finding some Duct Tape in the DD. However, planks have been super rare for me lately!
Lol my question is why is duct tape so abundant and planks and bolts so rareQuote:

I am the same, am awash with tapes, cannot get bolts.Quote:

Not that long ago a SuperCell admin confirmed that item drops are equal, no item is rarer than another in the grand scheme of Hay Day. But we all have our personal shortages.
I'd love to trade my tapes in exchange of your bolts!
Yeah there's no way item drops are equal. I've only been playing this game for 3 weeks and I get screws and planks far FAR easier than any other item.
From personal experience:
Easy to get:
> Screws
> Planks
Average:
> Nails
> Bolts
Bad:
> Duct tapes
REALLY REALLY ANNOYING SMH!
> Wood panels
Wood panels are the worst, THE WORST!
Amount of times I've had 10 screws and 10 nails with 1 wood panel...:p:p
We need to talk! My farm is raining panels and I need nails! :DQuote:
