To be fair, you shouldn't get any duplicates when you trade. If you were to start with something like the mash, within three or four trades you should get one of the bigger items.

I've definitely gotten duplicates before in previous rounds. Or, I've never gotten the same twice in a row, but I've traded mash, gotten equus, and traded again and got mash. Maybe they changed it since then but I don't trust it anymore. In any case, if I haven't gotten a bigger item in 9 draws I don't think I'm willing to spend all my equus on a long shot. There's some 8 small items to get through so I'd have to do at least 8 trades to get anything higher, *if* it works where you can't get the same item twice.

So far I've gotten 1 hop, 1 medal, 1 harmony pack and 3 heels. I find the higher I keep my ranking, the better the prizes offered.

i've spent a TOTAL of 5200 (6000 currently) the entire promo. most i spend on trades is 1800e. and i've only spent that once

so far i've gotten"

4 wands

3 arrows
2 kitsune

10k
50 mash
saddle cloth

somehow yesterday mid ufo i missed a UFO so am short one prize. This has cost me 6000e total. And i have spent anything on requesting bonuses.

Yet another round where I just get age points, equus, and a saddle cloth.

Can this event be over already.

I'll try to look on the bright side; it's free at least, and I'll use it all eventually, I more wish they wouldn't put up the prize lists cause then it's just a tease. "Hey, you COULD have gotten all these great BMI! You won't though. Have fun with your 4th saddle cloth!"

Okay, that's enough for me though, I need to stop looking at the prizes and seeing what everyone else got cause it's just going to bum me out more. 3 more days and it's over and I never have to do it again.

Two dials this round!

for 2600 in trades i got a timer, medal and lyre. if you make REASONABLE trades you will get better. i decided LONG time ago 1800 was a reasonable amount for the trade. the jump to 5400 ain't most likely going to be worth it. and this was only the 2nd time this promo i spent 1800.

I am SO irritated that the list of prizes isn’t available on the app... I spent s total of probably 800ke with my first few UFOs because I had no clue what was available...

I have had good luck for the most part though with some of my prizes - a few HoPs, a Timer, a couple wands, several dials, and several A Arrows. Really wishing I had known in the beginning though so I could have saved my equus... It’s too bad the app is so severely under supported

To be fair this is my first time playing this event. I always see it but could never figure out what it was and didn’t realize it started AFTER the main event which I have often disappeared after... whoops

Sashtato, it's never worth going that much in , coz most likely UFOs will get worse in terms of worth. I know it's frustrating but can view prozes for events on classic version , it's just a few clicks away. That's what I do most of the time

Slowly, the competition divines without a dial are getting one. Hope I get some more dials.

That's not true, though? You still have to actually get those prizes offered to you. Trading alone doesn't give you better prizes, just different ones.

...I know this cause I caved and attempted a trade. Ended up with worse than what I had, which is exactly what I was afraid of. I won't be doing it again, but a lot of it is luck, I don't see there being much you can do to guarantee better gifts.

This may be yet another event where I tap out early honestly. I don't really enjoy the heavy discrepancy between prizes, and I don't like having to pay money for prizes either (if you can only get BMI and stuff by doing trades it's not worth it to me).

I didn’t stop to get prizes. I was focusing on hopefully getting the raven. Which I don’t think I will I am totally going to get something else.

I have used every single bonus to get better ranking…I have not traded and I have not kept any item..and I have not missed a single draw…so how am I still in the 500 - 301 slot?

I really want that beautiful raven..how are people getting ahead?

Well people above you probably traded lower items to get up to Harmony packs and HOPs and then traded them to get more points

Sorry, not traded, but like traded them for points* lol sorry im not fluent in english, I keep forgetting words at times

but if you trade the lower prizes guess what you are most likely going to get something better. you trade the saddle cloth the only thing you can get is higher.

you also need to be reasonable on what you think is good. if all you are willing to keep is like the top row that is really hard to get and you keep trading to only get stuff in the top row and are trading pretty good stuff then you are going to be disappointed when you get lower stuff.

I think their point was that you're still at the mercy of whatever the game gives you. Yes, if you get the blanket, you can only get higher with the next trade, but it's still possible that multiple trades will just keep you going back-and-forth with the bottom tier prizes.

The frustration with this event is that it comes down to luck, and while we can curb that frustration by setting reasonable goals with what we allow ourselves to spend on trades, there is still going to be frustration that one person constantly receives second or first tier items with minimal trades, while someone else constantly receives bottom tier items, even when they do multiple trades.

Having millions of equus to spend on this event is nice, but sometimes even that isn't enough if you're luck is poor, and you can sometimes get fooled into thinking everything will go swimmingly when some players report getting good items, and you're not.

that's why if you set realistic expectations and realize it comes down to luck and or spending a fortune. you can get a good set of stuff usually if you make reasonable trades. a long time ago i set my max trade at 3 a round. yes i could spend more but if i do i may get worse so not worth it. so since i'm realistic i'm not disappointed and i've spent less than 10000e in trades.

Yes, but even with realistic goals, and knowing that luck is just the nature of this event, it's expected to feel some disappointment when you only receive bottom tier items, while others receive top tier items.

People feel how they feel and there's nothing wrong with being disappointed in getting the short end of the stick when it's something they have no control over

omg I did not realise the higher prizes gave more points eek..
thank you for your answer..
