Do the new town mystery chests/boxes work the same as the ones found on farms? Like if we X out of the one in our town's water does it decrease the chances of finding one in someone else's water? And does the reload trick work for the chests/boxes too? (Instead of x'ing out, revisit the town and try tapping on it until we found one thats unlocked.)
searched and didn't find anything.
Seems to me that they work the same as the mystery boxes on our farms although it does take a little longer for it work (which makes sense because the items contained in the treasure chest are usually more valuable). Im not sure if X'ing out of the chest in your town decreases the odds of finding one in someone else's town though.
I think they may although they are appearing to take a bit longer - just my feeling at this stage but I was happy to receive 8 diamonds from two!
I havent found any yet :(
Be careful: The people, in the Bugs section, say it has a very long cool-down. So don't mistakenly 'X' out the pop-up.
Look in the ocean. They are not found on land, only floating in the water.Quote:

I don't have my town opened yet. It will be open in 20 hours or so. But when visiting other people's I can not find any chests. Is it because my town is still locked? Can anybody without town confirm if they see chests on other their friend's towns. I refreshed like 20 times and couldn't see one in the ocean.
Not tapping on the X works just as fine on them as on the normal boxes, meaning there is one in every town until one opens. After opening a box, I do something with a customer (recieving the present or putting him in a building), then I get the next box straight away.
So far, I got 8 diamonds, 2 map pieces, 1 pick axe and several more tools and vouchers from them. Very rewarding, those boxes.
happy farming

I don't know if the cool down after x-ing out on your own chest varies, but as of this morning, my cool down is at least 2.5 hour...still hasn't regenerated after 2.5 hours. Doesn't really matter much as there are always chests on neighboers' towns, but just wanted to get an idea of how long it was, lol.
My partner can't see any chests before her town was opened and still can't which I presume is because she doesn't have neighbourhoods open either. Shame..Quote:

I can see the new chests floating in the sea at other towns even when they are not in my NH. So I don't know why your partner can't see them? (Shh, don't tell my NH that I've been seeing other towns).
Keep us updated! I tried that yesterday but I wasn't able to look back in until about 24 hrs later. So all I can say is it definitely disappeared for at least 8 hours last time and over 12 hours the time before. But when it reappeared it was unlocked. :)Quote:

Otherwise, my data is a bit fuzzy due to having a little preschooler help with opening chests and decorating beaches with gnomes, sigh. :)
I just keep visiting different towns/farms rather than the same one. X-ing out the one in my own town hasn't stopped any appearing in other towns.Quote:

new boxes can also contain town tools or regular farm tools. but farm boxes still contain only farm tools.
so far i got about 4 maps, 2x8 diamonds and lots of various tools from town boxes.
as far as i noticed those boxes behave like old farm boxes regarding how one can open them: just keep on refreshing NH town (tap NH train, open any town, tap the box, return to your town and keep on doing so until the box open). once it opens, return to your town and in a short while you can do this chore once again.
My point rather is the frequency of getting diamonds the same? I used to get 10 diamonds a day from boxes on average but had none from the tool box and two 8 diamond treasure chests (first two I opened) since the update. Also I've only had one diamond from the mine since the update even though I'd get a couple a day. So for me the amount of diamonds from the mine or chests has dramatically been reduced... :(
Actually, I think this too. I was easily getting diamonds from the red mystery boxes 2-3 times a day, so 10-15 diamonds a day. Since the update, I've gotten 8 diamonds from a town chest once and 5 diamonds from the red ones only twice. And it has been several days now. So very definitely less for me on a per day basis since the update.Quote:

I just got 8 diamonds from town chest yeayyy !!!
I still don't understand...when we have a box in our own town, should we tap the X (like we do on the farm) or not? Thx!
I got an axe, a plank and a paint till now.
Wanted those shiny 8 amoozing diamonds
When the locked chest is in your town, tap the X. Later you'll have another chest in your town.Quote:
