How to increase your chances of an xmas tree

No trolling here my friend; the loot varries with each spawn. Another clan mate confirmed 150k gold loot after removal, while another mentioned only the above stated 25k removal and 75k loot. Guess it varries.. got lucky I guess. Good luck!

3. There is no trick except for making sure you don't have 40 obstacles and making sure there is room for it to spawn.



Wrong they don't have the same spawn chance as a regular tree.



It costs 25k gold to remove and pays out 75k.

So ... how do you know all this?

They should give the option to sell them. I am willing to pay 500k gold and a few gems for one. Yes, thats how much I want one. I will never cut it down....

I think you have something there.

Say on the first try of a spawn, rog (random object generator) gives you the xmas tree but its spawn point is blocked, the game cancels that xmas tree and spawn location. So on try #2 rog (random object generator) starts fresh again, picking a new object to spawn and location. Continuing this process over and over until it successfully spawns something.

Try #2 occurs 8 hours later, right? If so, I'm all with you on that..

From http://clashofclans.wikia.com/wiki/Obstacles you can see that last years X-mas trees had a 2% chance to spawn. The rest is probability calculations.
The 2nd point about spawns and spawn areas we covered earlier in this thread, and 3. is based on last years tree spawning and common sense. The cost and reward has been posted by multiple trustworthy forumers in other threads.

I've realized that the more space ur village takes up the less chances you have, my village has been taking up nearly allt eh space (th9) and I never got one last year and I'm still waiting for one this year and on my other account when I was a th7 only took up 1/3 of the base I got 4 old Xmas trees and I got the new one on the first day of the update

I want one on my main :(

Of course this is not the case, but wouldn't it be cool if clan donations raised your chances of getting an xmas tree? The more you give, the better your chance! Technically you are getting in the Christmas spirit by giving to others :)
by the way still waiting on mine as well :mad:

I am so focused on getting the new x-mas tree. My base is free from all plants and shrubbery except for last years x-mas trees. Everyday I clear more useless shrubbery. I've compacted my design to allow for more room for the new x-mas tree to spawn. I click on the presents santa dropped and accumulated tombstones around my base as soon as I can.

I noticed all the top gemmers in the game dont have xmas trees while some low level non gemmers in my clan have the new tree. So I will stop all gemming until I get a tree. I noticed some people have trees are not that active so I may stop playing altogether until I get a tree. I mean other than clearing obstacles, clearing tombstones, and donating. I'm really focused on getting the new x-mas tree right now.

It should pay out 500 gems if opened on X-mas day and cost 100,000 elixir if you open it early.

I didn't mean every 8 hours. I meant that if it was time to spawn something and you had less than 40 trees, shrubs etc, so u had a chance to spawn something, it would cycle through till something spawned. But I digress, this response is many hours after your response.
