Looking forward to this event, with lots of great stuff, new and old. I just hope I can get everything I want. :)
Yes, most of the items look very interesting, improved floating residence is tradable??
always love xmas event - best free stuff for doing the least ;)
the versed geo says He finds 50% bigger deposits in half the normal time, and has a 50% chance at finding an additional deposit. Works on all deposits! but the toolkip when you do a search and find somethings says its 25%
What is MadHenry?
Lot of work went into this Diary. Even endless coal mine made it in, so for a moment I jumped up thinking it will be available for presents. :)
How is a 3x3(=9) storage building 'small'? It takes more than twice the amount of space of a normal storehouse 2x2(=4) and 1.5 times the space of an Improved Storehouse (2x3=6). While it gives only half the storage of a fully upgraded storehouse extra and gives half the storage room a fully upgraded Improved Storehouse...
Is it correct that loot form normal adventures and expeditions don't give presents? (I didn't see that mentioned in the diary)
Besides the above, I'm really looking forward to the Xmas event :)
Yeah store size must be an error as the graphics and layout was always the same size as regular storehouse at test. I'v noticed that BB sometimes internally counts the road space as one tile so 3x3 might be a result of that.
why is the endless coal mine 12500 gems? A recycler costs 950 gems and it is only 3x (6x with science buff) faster, shouldn't it be closer to 6000 gems?
It does not have to match the price 1:1 and recyclers are limited item anyways. With all the positives: it does not take regular space on the island, you can build it on a fast deposit, mining guide works on it, it has a very low production time, it has an extra +1 to the base production output. At test server I tried it with a rainbow on the best possible location and it produced around ~29k coal per 12h and that's how I was planning to run it myself. It matches around 12 recyclers with steaks. So in short it's a lot more convenient to buff than several recyclers and does not eat up any space.
Can we also confirm that the area buffs all cover the same area (ie, 4*4 squares)
The descriptions are inconsistent:
Code:Smelter Calendar Area buff with a 2-square radius. Buffs Smelters and Epic Smelters in the vicinity by 100% for 8 hours
Efficient traps Area buff with a 2-square radius. Buffs hunters, deerstalkers and improved deerstalkers in the vicinity by 200% for 12 hours
Kitty lure Area buff (4x4) for up to 4 (Impr.) Farms, (Impr.) Silos and Mills Production +100% for 24 hours
Forest Offerings Area buff (4x4) for up to any 4 Woodcutters, Foresters and Sawmills Production +100% for 12 hours
Dear BB - I love how the start of the event broke absolutely all the things and was so bad that it required a hotfix within the hour; and your first post on the forum is to update us that you've made a mistake in marking the improved floating as tradable. Maybe start at another end, the how we broke the game post?
Interesting. I thought there was a chance this was not a mistake because of:Quote:
The "Improved Floating Residence" was mistakenly marked as being tradable. This has since been corrected. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused.
making the building technically not limited.Quote:
You'll also be pleased to hear that we've updated our "Improved" Christmas Surprise to include the brand new Improved Floating Residence!
Could you please add "1 Toy Duck = 5 Small Christmas Stalls" in the description? So that I don't have to ask in chat, and someone doesn't have to refer me to some wiki pages. Much obliged.
A "Stuffed Rabbid" or is it a "Stuffed Rabbid Rabbit"?
I guess the real question is what do you call an Easter egg at Christmas time?
Hello folks,
We're investigating all reported issues - some we fixed in this morning's hotfix e.g. Event Calendar. For the others, we will have more information to update you with tomorrow.
I had forgotten how boring the xmas event can be once your explorers are out and quests done thats it nothing else to do
I've seen others express their opinion that given the time of year many people are very busy with vacation/family/friends/events/etc. and that a break from adventure grinding and endless tasks is nice. All you have to do is check in once in a while and you can keep up.
It's not necessarily my point of view but I think it is a valid point.
I wouldn't rush to finish any of the quests in the hope of getting the Xmas Market. To complete "Spreading" to get the Xmas Market you also have to complete "Winter Wonderland", although it doesn't appear to be connected in the quest book. To complete Winter Wonderland you have to twiddle your fingers until week 3 comes along ... so sit back and contemplate your ........
Yeah the shop has nice items, but it is more a explore search thing for Redgifts box then playing?
Did i missed something. The first event when doing adventures does not anything from christmas Loot? Is it a bug or is it gamemechanics gone. No sweet candy when finishing an adventure or some redgiftbox So only producing for the Christmas advanture but fighting adventures give you no avantage this time? So you better stop making weaopons? and focus on wood and more for the childrens present and adult presents in the christmas quest adventures?
Didn't login until 8pm last night, did a few bits and now have this:

Is that as expected? If so that is one heck of a short chain.
Maybe you could you know keep playing like you have until now? The non event parts of the game have not vanished you know?
anyone with an idea where to find a thread regarding what to spend the presents on? aka best reward for resource invested.
ty!
I do agree but until it hits around 21st dec every day before is the same as it is the rest of the year xmas does get busy for most including me but not anymore so then the rest of the year cept for that week of xmas itself...i like the buzz of a event guess the chaos of rushing around doing as much as u can within the time limits...you dont get that at xmas
I do and have doesnt mean the game isnt quite tedious at times its why i like events specially ones where i have to do adventures if i want the goodies ...your forced into doing adventures because you gain more from them that i like as i am lazy when it comes to doing adventures now lol ...i like the change is why i like the MCC but have kept clear of that with the bugs
It looks like to me it is the 2nd week... meaning this coming Monday for me. At least I'm interpreting it as being week 2.

I don't see it in the Wiki or Dev Diary..... what kinds of "gifts" does the Gift Christmas Tree provide every week?
The information you are looking for is behind the spoiler tags in the second post of the Dev Diary thread.
I'm wondering if anyone knows the following, based on the special thingies available to us this year. It seems like we will be able to get the gift tree and market from the advent calendar and quests respectively. Will we be able to buy a second of each through the store? If we do get 2 markets, does that mean each one will require the thousands of prezzies to upgrade?
Also, would the new explorer bring back 4x rewards on an artifact search, or just for regular treasure searches?
You can upgrade every market you buy, however you can only use one market at the time. More markets will change the cooldown time though.
I also have (some) question(s) regarding the Market building.
1, If I'm correct, we can get 2, one from quest, one from shop.
2, If I have 2 of them, both placed on my island, does the cooldown drop to half?
3, If I have a lvl 1 market, and a lvl 4 market, and I activate the lvl 4 with the +300% (lvl 4) buff, is the cooldown halved? Or it is halved only if both markets are lvl 4?
Thanks,
DN
I have a question about the gift tree. I just got mine, and got a quest to click on it. Then the quest said "when you close the quest window, your gift box will open automatically" (may not be exact wording, but that was the gist of it). When I closed the quest window, nothing happened. At this point I'm not sure what was in the gift box, or even if I got a gift box. Is there some way to find this information?
Edit: I just got the gift tree on another server. This time, when I closed the quest window, a window appeared telling me my gift was 250 meat deposit. I guess that's how it's supposed to work, but it doesn't explain why I apparently got nothing on the first server.
