Mystery Box(es)

  • Compared to the regular mystery box, the one on the left does not have a star on it.  

    Why are there 3 different gold mystery boxes?
    @dchen1 (US1)  The regular one should have a star on it & is mislabeled, the middle one is correct & the 3rd one should say Silver. Can you post where you took the 1st & 3rd pictures please.

  • @Southern (US1) Oops, another mislabeled one, looks like the person with the label maker got a bit carried away. Thanks for the screenshot, I will make a list of the locations, if you all find more please post them :)

    They were introduced as replacement rewards for the gold flower seeds and gold mining licence that use to be rewarded through the CC. There are 4 different mystery boxes now. Each offering a better chance on getting a slightly better reward from it.

    I have 6 different mystery boxes, however 3 are called Gold Mystery Boxes like i said couple of months ago on this thread: https://community.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/en/discussion/comment/3389636/#Comment_3389636

    Why not make them all into gold mystery boxes, same appearance and same name instead of having 3 different kind of pictures for the same mystery box.

    Because they are not the same, they are different gold mystery boxes, the rewards are different. However, I do agree that they should be named differently.
    The gold mystery box with all golden color is worse than the gold mystery box with the gold and silver color which is worse than the gold mystery box with wooden+gold.
    Prizes I have seen in them:
    Fully golden one: 1 gold mining license, 3 goldflower seeds, 50 seaweed feed, 50 seaweed fertilizer, 5 seaweed humus, 5 seaweed greenhouse humus, 10 tokens
    Gold+silver (I usually call it platinum, due to horse races platinum being better than gold):  2 gold mining licenses, 5 goldflower seeds, 60 seaweed feed, 60 seaweed fertilizer, 6 seaweed humus, 6 seaweed greenhouse humus, 12 tokens
    Gold+wooden: 3 gold mining licenses, 8 goldflower seeds, 100 seaweed feed, 100 seaweed fertilizer, 10 seaweed humus, 10 seaweed greenhouse humus, 15 tokens

    How did you save up 400 mystery boxes?

    I open regular, bronze and silver when I have more than over 20.  

    I got 3 goldflower seeds from 1 fully gold mystery box so far.

    I have never got the gold+silver and wooden gold mystery boxes before.  

    Are the probability of getting the items in gold mystery boxes equal or are some rarer than the others?

    I've actually been tracking this (on a spreadsheet, of course) :)

    Here are my results so far:







    My (Gold) Mystery Box dataset is still really small.

    I also track my regular (plain) boxes, but so far I've found 33 different items that drop out of those and I still have around 450 boxes left to open. lol :)

    Before the gold mystery boxes contained also other items such as greenhouse seeds. Since they removed those items here is what I have gotten (edit: the items that I have not seen since the update I saw before, that is why of some items there is 0):

    Uh Oh, Wascally Wabbit....HELP....My mystery box is ready to harvest and it won't let me...says that barn is full and I have to sell a mystery box....BUT there is no mystery box in my inventory to sell....Rescue my Lab!!!  Is this something I should message directly to GGS Support to fix?
  • 24-KL0V3R (US1)24-KL0V3R (US1) US1 Posts: 2,464
    Just now my lab finished the bronze mystery box and when I tried to harvest, a message popped up and said that, my barn is full and I must sell a mystery box to get this one.  But, I have no mystery box at all in my inventory, so I should be able to harvest it.  Is this a bug?  I am upset because now I can not use my lab to start duck feed.  Please Help!  Thank you!

    Help! Wascally Wabbit, Help!   Contact the devs to unlock the lab on my main farm...I can not harvest the bronze mystery chest...says my barn is full, but my inventory shows no mystery boxes to get rid of so I can harvest.  How can I sell something I don't have?   I need desperately to use the Lab on the main farm...It is the only one I use to make special duck feed.




  • @FarmerCli (US1)  Is your dropbox full (100/100)?
  • 24-KL0V3R (US1)24-KL0V3R (US1) US1 Posts: 2,464
    No, it is 5/100
  • 24-KL0V3R (US1)24-KL0V3R (US1) US1 Posts: 2,464
    No, my drop box numbers are 5/100.
  • @FarmerCli (US1)  Ahh it would appear that you are not alone, are you able to close that pop-up & still farm (apart from your lab) until tomorrow? One of the techs is going to check it out then. Sorry about that :(

    Yes, I can close the pop-up farm as normal....it is just that I so want to make premium duck feed....my whole farm operates on that premium stuff (other than the humus for fields...I do use the regular humus).  Thank you so much for having the techs look into it.
    It is Monday, Jun 12, 2017 at 2:18 pm (PDT) and I just learned that the techs won't be able to unlock my lab so I can get my mystery box for another 6 days!!!  OH OH, this is just so NOT GOOD...my heart is so sad!  I tried to check out the following link to read about it, but the page was not available:

    the upcoming update is meant to fix the lab/mystery box bug, to quote:-

    With this update we will also fix the following bugs:

    - The text for the Amphibian machine has been adjusted, to make it clear that it does not work for fish caught in the Deep Sea region.
    - Starting a production in the village should now always deduct the displayed amount.
    - Players should now always be able to spend their earned medals in the weekly village league "Last Chance".
    - The friendship airport bonus should now always be displayed correctly.
    - The dockyard can now also be upgraded using gold.
    - The gold cost for renaming should no longer be displayed if a horse is named for the first time.
    - Logout button should work correctly again.
    - Mystery boxes produced in farm labs can now be collected.

    But now the update is delayed until the 16th...After a week of being without the use of the lab, I suppose one more day won't hurt.
  • Hi

    What is the difference between the different mystery boxes, I would love to know because there are at least 3 different types of gold mystery boxes.

    I assume there is a difference other wise why have different ones. Do they have different percentage chance of dropping specific items or what?

  • @JVD (US1)

    Thanks good to know
  • So I've noticed for a while now that there are two gold chests. One that looks gold and one that looks silver.
    What are the differences between the two?

    Acctually there are three golden chests:
    - one that is gold
    - one that is silver
    - one that looks like the normal one without the star.

    The "normal" one gives best prices, the silver is next and the gold one is the "worst" golden chest :)
    Here is the link to the discusion thread about the topic.  Esspetially look at the post from @mia111 (GB1) :
