Sadly we are back to 5 diamonds
I noticed that. Total bummer.
'Tis a shame about the diamonds. I wonder if any threshold might be a puzzle piece.
diamonds are a girls best friend. I like diamonds, never enough diamonds for me!
My first threshold gift was a stupid mallet.
Lame.
Once I reach global threshold I can start to track the event progress.
Typical global reward for boat event. Wasn't expecting anything different.
First treshhold, one green voucher, and we only 5 diamonds, it is enough to change a person from "glass half full" to empty glass and it is cracking all over.
I was HOPING they'd surprise us with another PP Extravaganza...or a Summer Deco as we didn't get ANY this year...
But no, not even 10 diamonds, back to the measly 5 & usual uninspiring 'personal rewards'
Deep sigh. Sometimes being an optimist is SEVERLY challenging!
Isn't the whole country on vacation this month? Probably too much to expect a special decoration, but 10 diamonds instead of 5 would have been nice. I would think we are still 3 to 4 weeks away from another pp event.
3 blue, 3 pick axe and 3 deeds so far.
Still hoping for threshold puzzle pieces XD
...hoping for gold vouchers here. I've got my sights set on a slew of them in order to buy fall foliage trees when autumn arrives on the farm. So far, one deed as a reward. That's okay! My extra deed is a neighbor's "yippee!"
I have to admit that I don't think it would break the SC bank to up the mayor's event reward to 10 diamonds on a regular basis. I don't believe that 5 extra diamonds a week would result in a significant loss of revenue. If anything, I think it would prime the spending pump.
I suspect that the 5-diamond global reward dates back to the early days B.D. (Before Derby) when life was simple. In my case, I've totally loosened my purse strings since the arrival of the special land plots. I shuffle my Derby prizes until I get at least one permit scroll. I spend diamonds on the WoF for permits. I spent diamonds making mystery nets for the recent "improved odds" on the Pearl of the Sea. I've spent beaucoup diamonds adding production slots to machines for Derby stacking (mostly for the new basket tasks). Of course, I don't have to do any of these things, and I'm still basically stingy with diamonds when it comes to speeding up the game. However, in my case the new incentives to spend diamonds have led to actual spending and will result in my buying diamonds in the near future. (Hoping for some spectacular fall deco to be offered with a diamond package.)
ok, 10 would be nice again, but hey, it's free...
also hoping for puzzle pieces at the thresholds, keeps you playin, right ?
Based on results so far, we should land at the goal around 8am EST.
The boats per hour has been decreasing as the event has gone on.
Personal event goal reached. No special rewards. 3 blue, 3 pick axe, 3 deeds, 6 axes, 5 gold
Peachie:
1st level: 3 TNT
2nd level: 3 blue vouchers
me:
1st level: 3 saws
Disappointing, 5 Diamond boat events are as boring as it gets.
I have zero motivation to farm anymore than I usually do during these events.
Good thing I have a Case Study to do, Hay Day won't distract me from it. If it was a Puzzle Event...I'd probably get no sleep. Lol
I got vouchers and mallets, the latter are most welcome.
always enjoy free 💎💎💎 too.:)
I wonder if the number of diamonds is related to the number of boats in the global goal. It does seem like fewer boats will be needed than the last time, but I don't really remember.
I was wondering this same thing.Quote:

I've only done 2 boats because I will not give up huge quanties of sugar, dairy and feather! The next boat may stay. First threshold prize was 2 blue voucher and the 2nd was 2 screws. Neither of which are scarce on my farm. Still hoping to see that someone gets a puzzle piece. It might inspire me to do a few more boats.

i got 3 saws and 4 tnt so far. that gets the global threshold, and i hate boats so unless anyone reports something interesting (like puzzle pieces) i'm not sure i'll bother going much further for more stuff i don't need.
All my boats so far have been rather crappy, save for the two I needed to get to the global goal. Juuust spending some time filling other players' crates where I can, then.
I got 3 saws at tier 1 and 2 screws at tier 2. I havn't filled another boat yet waiting for a boat derby task :rolleyes:
I've made good progress so far, as I was able to link a boat booster that reduced the time between boats with another that filled three crates! Unfortunately both boosters have expired now, so I'm back to normal, but it was great while it lasted.
Incidentally, the crates that were filled were always one of each product/crop, so it was really well-balanced.
An additional benefit was that I cleared two spaces in my booster storage - always a good thing to do, in anticipation of horseshoe prizes.
So far I have received:
1 mallet
4 dynamite
1 booster - to shorten growing time for all bushes. (I've activated that, to avoid storing it)
4 marker stakes
I'm doing the event because I'm also doing a boat task for derby. Plus I have a booster to fill 2 crates per boat for 24 hours. Personal goal prizes have been decidedly lackluster: 2 shovels, 4 dynamite, and 4 saws. But the timing is good so why not.
Sudly after doning totally say 20000 boats on my farms during my time in HD .
Boats is not as fun that it use to be , but I think I do a few in the Event anyway .
Just for the good look off it , the awards I dont care about , have more stuff the I need anyway ,
Rewards:
3 saws, 2 screws, 3 duct tape, one 2 hr crop booster...
The booster/last reward was so disappointing...will use booster now to get out of storage.
Done with this event.
There is a 3-crate booster for boats? Cool, looking forward to that. I have not seen anything other than a 1-crate or 2-crate booster so far.
Losing steam...

I'm loving those spreadsheets Spartan!
We will easily make it :)
1 plank
3 blue vouchers
4 pick axes
4 mallets
5 pink vouchers
My event was very disappointing i got 3 saw, 4 saws, 4 pickaxes, 5, pickaxes, 5 tapes. The only thing i needed was the tapes. These prizes were not worth the effort. :( But as i like to look on the bright side; i was able to upgrade my barn with the tapes. :D
I finished with:
1 mallet
3 shovels
4 shovels
1 stupid booster (10% faster trees)
6 pick axes
Yawn....
1. A marker stake (Meh, as that's the one I already get more of, but also okay because I just upgraded so I still need a bunch for the next)
2. 3 green vouchers (Meh all around :P)
3. 3 bolts (not even bad, that's my 'hard' BEM)
Hope i'm gonna make it to the 4th threshold, 5th is... rather unlikely.
