Has anyone else noticed a correlation of what ticket you get compared to how fast you send off your river boat? I've taken notice that if I load and send my river boat within 3-4 minutes of it arriving that I get a golden ticket. If it takes me 10-30 minutes I seem to always get purple. If if it sits for an extended period of time, I will almost always get a green or blue ticket. I've always thought it was just totally random but now I'm wondering!?!?!
Complete coincidence. I've sent boats off within 2 mins of arrival and got green vouchers twice in a row.
For me it's totally random. I'm always prepared for my boat and usually send of my boat within 10-20 seconds, unless I need help for some boxes, then it usually takes between 2-20 min. No matter how fast I send it away, I'll get a green voucher... or maybe a blue or a purple if I'm lucky.
I think I have gotten 2 golden vouchers from my boat this month.
Dang so I've just been getting lucky getting golden vouchers! And I keep blowing them in the fishing area argh!!! Think I will start saving them now.
I keep an inventory of 15 of all barn items and 100 of silo items so I can send the boat as soon as it arrives but I would almost always get more green vouchers than the others so I started asking for help for 2 items of the same item on every boat and now its rare to get green vouchers.
have any of you done this consistently to know if this works? I have done this for the last 100 boat orders. I usually do 2 or 3 boat orders a day. When I asked for help with 1 or 3, the green vouchers came back in force again so that is why I stick with 2.
try this and let me know if your green vouchers were less or the same.
i still get green vouchers around 20% of the time which is way better than 60-70% of the time before I changed.
That's interesting! I'm going to try this, but just to make sure, you only flag 2 crates of the same item? I usually flag 3 crates, one crate of each, depending on what is on the boat, or I flag 2 crates, each crate different items. I get more greens than anything on boats. So it'll be interesting to see how this goes.Quote:

Small sample size...but it didn't work for me. I had three apple pie crates left to fill. I could have finished the boat myself; the pies were in the queue and there was plenty of time left. But I tried flagging two of the apple pie crates. I had enough pies to fill the last one, and sent the boat off. Green voucher.
Weirdly, when I first started with the boats, I hardly ever got green vouchers. They were the scarcest color for me. I had more golds than greens, and it was the lack of green vouchers that kept me from getting pets for the longest time.
Recently, though, the boats have been all green vouchers.
Totall random here too, no matter the time i need to fill the crates.

flagging 3 crates for me almost always will get me green vouchers. try flagging the same product because when i experimented with flagging 2 different items, i started getting more greens again.

If you hardly get green vouchers then keep doing what you are doing. I wish I had your luck. lol
I looked at my boat score and averaged out pts per week which is about a 1000 per week. I have a lot of followers so my orders are done fairly quick. So I probably average 4 or 5 boat orders a day per week.
I still get green vouchers but its way less than before.
