Is it just me, but are there WAY less vouchers to be found? Even Greg has very few treasure chests to open. Nive been searching and searching farms to help, buy, replenish trees and I have found very few vouchers for my efforts. Sine we need them to make lures, what gives? I haven't found 1/8 of vouchers as I did pre-fishing. Any suggestions? Comments?
jenwiththelegs,

i have two questions - why do you only look to greg for opening mystery boxes? you could do that at every farm? and how does reviving trees help to give you vouchers? i still do get them from opening the boxes and if you really want the vouchers you should do the boat orders or bar/jewelry truck orders.
*** Copied from the ideas thread a few weeks ago *** Vouchers (again...)
Bearing in mind the latest fishing update, and a lot of newcomers/new players appearing, the availability of vouchers has become even more imperative, and unobtainable.. I really struggled to get the necessary vouchers to obtain the pets to begin with, but now we need them to make fishing lures as well...
The idea for using our spare ones for lures is a great one btw..
What I would like to propose therefore, is that for truck orders for any combination of bullion bars and any jewellery orders, that we get an automatic gold voucher..?? These items are rarer and harder to fill due to production times and difficulty of obtaining the raw materials. The lesser valuable voucher system is playable, because I don't think players struggle toooooo much to obtain them..??
I have duly considered any sales impact upon SC, and think it would be really minimal, as I cannot see many (if any) people forking out hard earned real money for diamonds for vouchers..?? Any feedback, good or bad, would be appreciated.
John.
Hi Jen, Kaylin's right, you're going to have to knuckle down and do more boat orders and get those smelters puffing! But I also find that every so often it feels like there's a 'game change' and your 'freebie' things alter. I also seemed to go through a voucher desert before the update, but now they're back again. I wonder if anyone else finds this?Quote:

10:30am UK time... Already sent off 8 truck orders for bullion bars (the gold + platinum combination does NOT give out gold vouchers, as was mentioned on another thread recently) and necklaces, bracelets, and rings... Reward - 8 green vouchers..!!! This is happening every day, and have not seen a purple or gold voucher for ages...??? Like a lot of people, I want to achieve catching all the best fish, but it's an impossible probability the way the system is at the moment...

Hi John, I don't do mining, but my very first boat gave me a gold voucher. I've never had another one, I've no idea if there's a counter that tells us how many boats we've done, do you know? My vouchers are limited to what I get from boats, red boxes, WoF, and very occasionally, harvesting. (Yeah, I know, I don't go far but I have fun!) I've spent 4 and have 7 so that's a total of 11 for the whole game up to level 40. If you're going to collect info on this, that's my input, bit pathetic eh? Strangely I do quite well with blue.Quote:

I can remember reading on a thread maybe a week ago, (but can't remember who or where...) that someone said that combo gave out a gold voucher every time, and obviously waited to see if it was correct...??? Had it a couple of times since, but no gold vouchers on it yet... Lol. Very rarely got them from the mystery boxes or the wof..Quote:

Originally, the gold vouchers seemed pretty hard to come by, however for a few weeks prior to the fishing update they seemed to come along far more frequently. I had amassed quite a large number of gold vouchers (most of which have now been gobbled up by the pesky Rudd!)
This weekend, I completed a large number of truck and boat orders, and I was awarded ONE gold voucher.....I was starting to wonder whether the "small" maintenance that took place the other day changed the frequency of gold vouchers being awarded.....Again, can't base this on any stats....just a hunch/theory!
yes they're pretty rare at the shop but i do get them quite alot from farming. another way is to trade, or get tom to fetch.Quote:

Etc
10 green = 1 blue

30 green = 1 gold
Ditto. I'm sure a forest no longer exists due to how many green vouchers I've gotten..Quote:

K. - I think I know which truck order you are referring to and I have received gold vouchers from them as well. However I also received gold vouchers from boat orders and all kind of different truck orders for bars and jewellery. I also won them on the wheel or found them in the unlocked tool boxes sometimes.
As for the boat orders I have received gold vouchers for very easy boats and greens from very difficult boats so there is no point in trying to select certain boats or tasks to get more gold vouchers.

K. - Yes the selection is random but the gold and purple are more rare as the diamond price for buying an extra voucher tells us that. I don't know what the probability is of getting the different colour of vouchers.
My current voucher inventory is:
397 green
157 blue
53 purple
16 gold
These ratios are not unusual to have.

I hate to say it ( seems like I'm always going against the "flow" of a thread- don't mean to do that) but I'm seeing more gold vouchers also. I waited for 2 months for the last one I needed for a waterfall, and in the past week alone I've gotten two.
Sorry you all aren't seeing this.
:(
Woozle - It was just a discussion point, you didn't have to go digging an old post out, but thanks again... The combo does not give you gold vouchers believe me, although you might get the occasional "random" one, like everything else...??
Just after 2:00pm now, and after a lunch break, have received another 6 green vouchers from truck orders, and 1 green one from a completed boat order... Two more chances on the truck board now, and guess what my money is on getting...??
I will post back on this one when I get a different colour voucher than green, never mind a gold one...!!!
John.
I know, but I'd seen it too and it was bugging me where - don't know why really as I don't do mining so no metal truck orders.
Lol Woozle... Got something quite rare this afternoon - 4 jewellery board orders on the trot...??? Never had that before... Needless to say, they all produced continuous green vouchers, plus a few more to boot... hooray, I got a blue one from the missus' red mystery gift box...!!! It's o.k, they managed to pick me up from the floor...!!!
I always have 20 - 30 pieces of each jewellery items in stock (Tom is a godsend sometimes) plus my five smelters are on the go 24/7 for bullion bars for board orders... My jewellery kiosk is as busy as I can keep it... I usually sell a few each day, but they are mainly for truck orders to get vouchers... I am surely not the only one having this problem, and SC should do something to even the odds up a bit more...

It would be interesting to see what the colour ratios were. The reason that thread was bugging me was that it included a discussion about randomness and probability with regard to the colour distribution, and I concluded that the probability factor was the same ratio as the diamond value. Turns out I was wrong.
Interestingly, quite a lot of people have suggested varying 'trade' values for the vouchers. There is one on this thread offering 30 green for one gold. In fact, in 'diamond' value 1 gold voucher is worth only 5.3 green, 2.6 blue and 1.6 purple. This is certainly not the distribution we are seeing, so I can only conclude that they are truly random, which just leaves me with the mystery of why I get so many blue ones, or (a suitable Orwellian quote) 'all vouchers are random but some are more random than others'!
Your first question. Reason why I do this is because every time I go to Greg's farm I know where exactly the red tool box will be so it's easier to locate than any other farms because it could be full of tress and hard to see. It's very easy to see on Greg's farm. That's why I only do it on Greg's farm.Quote:

it seems its random but so far, 2 plat + 4 gold orders always given me a gold. my last 20 gold voucher was obtain that way. but purple is super rare for me.Quote:

I also managed a boat order (I don't do too many... lol) and got a green voucher for that also... The missus was exactly the same, and she sends out more completed boats than me...!!! Four truck orders this morning - Another four green vouchers...
We are both daily players, and this has got to the point where it's beyond a joke and reasoning now...
SC gave us the fishing update with 8 extra/separate areas, which a lot of people really like, but have somehow diminished the odds of us all getting the rarer gold vouchers for that, never mind obtaining all the pets and fancy deco items... People have repeatedly said they WILL NOT pay 80 diamonds for one, so there cannot be any great financial loss for SC to make the game at least a little bit more tenable...??
John.
Maybe you should fishing more by using the free lure.
Maybe I don't have any choice..!! Have to if I want to get the fishing achievements anywhere near completed...Quote:

I wish there was some kind of rhyme or reason for getting a particular color. I've heard people say if you have a difficult order that you need almost the entire 15/16 hours to fill, you get a better color, but that obviously isn't true.
I've probably gotten one gold voucher since the fishing update. I have all 6 cats and 4 dogs so it's not like I've never gotten them, but it's a lot harder to get them now for some reason.
I said I would post back if I got a different coloured voucher... Apart from all greens again yesterday, there was one blue one last night... So, so far in the four days I have been watching, that is approx 80 continuous greens, plus one blue...!!! As of 10:00am this morning, another six greens... All of these received from truck orders for bullion bars and jewellery, plus the one completed boat order... Converted the blue to a lure, so I only have hundreds of green vouchers left now... Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time...???
John.
Yesterday (Wednesday, the post above was Tuesday) resulted in another frustrating day of all green tickets...!!! It's Thursday morning, and so far have sent out six truck orders for jewellery, resulting in five more greens, and one blue one...
Enough said.
John.
i can't even get truck orders that ask for bars or jewelry. I Have to sell it all! My barn is too loaded with the bars and jewelry to do anything else! Disappointing!Quote:

So, this week all told, hundreds of green voucher, two blue, and one gold.. IN FIVE DAYS...!!! This cannot be only happening to me...
John.
I allways seemed to find purple and gold vouchers when the cash reward was low and the xp reward was high, though since the update I've only had greens I suspect due to the dam truck bonus
Dont feel too bad. Try going for a month with only green vouchers from 3-4 boat orders a day.Quote:

As usual, back to greens again... Btw - If the SC team ever played rugby, that would be a great name for them... THE ALL GREENS...!!! (Just popped in there that one... Lol)
John.
Someone mentioned that when the boat takes almost the whole time to fill it gives away better vouchers. That is the fact for me absolutely. When i fill the boat the first hours I always get green ones but almost every time it takes to the last hours I'm getting the better ones. Not always gold but purple OR gold. Have been studying this a while and its about 98 % true in my case.
I do. Someone suggested that. I tried trashing everything, trashing nothing.. Nada! I sit with bars and jewelry for DAYS! Then I sell cause I need the room.Quote:
