update - I have now had 60 bells, 78 candy canes and 26 gingerbread - definitely appears to be a shortage of gingerbread compared to the others; and last 3 spawns had 0 gingerbread
ok, but with the best intent in the world, its an event that we participate in at our leisure, you could get more with the 3 spawns a day...
what I'm saying is, is it such a dilema not to get them all? There are many other ways to get most of the stuff in the merchant.
Xmas is the most generous/least effort event that BB give us, and, given the time spent with family etc over the xmas period, I really don't want to moan at them for it
Ehh no you cannot directly use gems to finish achievements BUT look at the added image tyvm.
You can basically buy any missing collectibles (to finish that present) which if you do it several times to finish the presents achievement.
Also while you cannot buy only a specific collectible for gems in the shop you can however buy them this way.
If for some reason support feels the need to edit what I wrote, please delete entire post instead, dont put words into my mouth that I never said.
Well, here is my sad collie story. Today I managed to make my first basket of presents. I am now the proud owner of 113 candy canes, 1 (yes ONE) bell and 1 (yes ONE) gingerbread.
There's no way I will make the achievements if my ratios don't change soon.
I seem to be getting an average of 6 candy drops, 3 bell drops and 1 gingerbread each respawn. only managed 1 set of presents so far
I'm seeing the same pattern
Sorry, but I've slept since then...
ofc u can get gingerbread with gems... see hoverbox on "basket with presents" button in mayor house (collections tab) and there stands (if you have not enough gingerbread, etc) "buy the remaining items and instantly complete for xy "... yes you can buy gingerbread for gems
