I searched this question and couldnt find it anywhere.
Have we always paid more ( 5 diamonds) for the treasure chest in the water in town than we have for any land, farm, treasure chest (3 diamonds)?
Because either its a new thing, or I've just come alive and have noticed this recently. Which is highly possible. Thanks for any reality checks guys.
Not new, it's always been like that. The town ones give better stuff though, so don't complain!
I don't believe she was complaining, just asking a fair and simple question.Quote:

Buying the chest and trunks are useless, unless you want to waste diamonds. They do give a minimal payout ratio, they are like a claw machine or arcade machine, they are rigged not to give the good stuff.
And I have occasionally paid to open them and gotten ten diamonds back. But. And here's the good point. Usually after a break in your playing, like in the morning when you first start, the chest you encounter is more likely to open. Since I only go to my town twice or three times a day, the first thing I do is check the chest, then even if my personal train isn't ready yet, I tap it to go to Greg's and his always opens for me also. Your red toolbox will usually open first thing in the morning and your friends toolbox will usually open then also. It's like they have a timer on them but I don't think they do. Anyway. If you go to the new people tips, there is a link in the first post about making the most out of your toolboxes. Check out what cricks wrote. It's essential.

The town chests always cost 5 diamonds to open and gives you 8 diamonds.Quote:

This is baloney. They are not rigged period. And they often give good stuff, unless your definition of good stuff doesn't include five diamond!Quote:

You would be better off using coins and buying planks.
No I didn't. I wasn't referring to lunch meat.Quote:

The first definition of "baloney" in the dictionary is "foolish or deceptive talk; nonsense". The second definition is "variant of bologna". So even if Tiggerr had been referring to lunch meat, she would have been spelling "according to Hoyle".
I consider any tool, voucher, coin or diamond that I get for free through the game "valuable". I just got the last purple voucher I needed for my tuxedo kitten by opening a treasure chest on a friend's beach. Thank you, SC!!!
And all I get is a piece of dynamite or like a green voucher. I like it, but it has almost no value.
👆⬆️ Can I ditto X2?? LolQuote:

That was very nice of you to tell Tiggerr to have a good day. See, kindness is good!!! Not being rude. Being rude is bad.Quote:

And ps. I wasnt complaining. Just asking. 😉
Oh sweetie, we knew you weren't complaining. Some people just post to post and usually don't have anything useful to say. I've been told to ignore the trolls but it bothers me when they say hurtful things. Have fun kicking over those tool boxes. Oh and another thing. I used to have a friends who did his level best to fill up every last space on his farm so that the tool box would always be on his road. He told me that when I checked his box, and it didn't open, I should not close the box with the x but just double tap his avatar in my friend list and it would refresh his farm. Since his tool boxes always showed up on the road, they were easier to find. Sometimes I had to refresh 20 times but sometimes it was much less than that. Good luckQuote:

What one player may consider a worthless stick of dynamite may mean to another 25 coins from a RSS sale or a way to get the last few pieces of ore for a task without using a more valuable tool or a help to a neighbor who's working toward their mining acheivements & hasn't had any luck with tool drops.
Whatever the find, it does have a value, although maybe just not to the finder. Value is subjective, & like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
I can see why you have that special poet ranking. Your chat is beatifully made, lol. I do see what you mean, but to my advantage, it has no real use. Sure at one point it will, but that point is not now. I always end up getting extras I don't need. The only problem is they give no coins so there is no point in selling them. Like those 5 diamonds can be useful, but the chance of getting them is pretty slim. The coins are useless right now, I have 90k. I usually end up getting extras. With the tickets, I can't even sell them so those are really useless.
The vouchers are anything but useless if you use them for fishing. You can get lots of diamonds by catching all the different types of fish. Also, the vouchers buy pets and those pets give drops. I am close to having all pets & I get lots of drops from them.
Yes, that's the way to do it with toolboxes - have fun kicking over those toolboxes, the more open ones is found, the higher odds of finding one with diamonds. There is actually plenty of diamonds in the game, it just take work to get them. Finding 50 open toolboxes in a day, will give better odds of finding diamonds, than finding 5 open ones in a day.Quote:

Close to 100% sure it's the same farm we are talking about.
I agree, that some people just post and post, without having any real useful things to say. Troll or not, or this part of forum being hit by a clash bug, only one thing to try and do - using the little triangle in lower left corner of post, when it get rude, hurtfull or other not ok things being posted.
Yes Thobi, it's the same guy. I found his BRT and the chest and it opened three times in the last ten minutes. Love that guy. He still plays but hasn't posted in forever.Quote:
