    On the rewards......  I think the ranking rewards are poorly designed.  I have spoken about this many times.  You need multiple bracket incentives for a player to want a higher rank.  You do not have that here.  The top 10 will go a certain set of players who use lots of gold.  I am not complaining about that.  That is fine.  But then you only have a top 250 reward, which is a flag.  (Flags are not seen as much of a reward by most players).  But beyond that, you need an incentive for several brackets, such as the top 50, top 100, top 200, top 500.  You need to incentivize players who might rank 530 to do a little a better.  He/she will know that the top 10 is out of reach, but could reach for a top 500 reward.  Similarly, a person with a rank of 120 could reach for the top 100 if there was a reward for that bracket.  You need 5 or more tiers in the ranking rewards every time you have an event to increase competitiveness.   This event has virtually none.  This would increase game play a lot.  I have already heard from several players who say, "I'll never be in the top 10, and I don't care about flags," so they have basically written off the event.
  • Question: Can a player return to the game after being off line and find a prank has already been completed?  Or does the player have the option to first look for any pranks and find the leprechaun before harvesting?

    Tip: Work quickly on finding the leprechaun. Earlier I chose a pot that pranked me again, and I only had 56 seconds to find the leprechaun before my apples were ready for harvest.

    What does the leprechaun look like? Is he small like a pumpkin or a piece of candy when looking for these things? Is he only on the main farm? 


    He can prank a building at any of your 3 regular farms and then you will have to search on that farm for him.
  • OK I found the leprechaun finally. Where are the purple hats? Do you get them through production or are they sprinkled around the farm like the hidden candies?

    You can find your answer in the Official Announcement: 

    How does it work

    • You have to collect 2 types of collectibles during this event.

    • These collectibles will drop on all your (3) main farms (field / fertile field / gardens / meadows / friendship meadows)

    • Each collectible will increase a type of happiness for your final decoration:

      •  (NHP) Normal Happiness points: influenced by individual activity only

      •  (VHP) Village Happiness points: influenced by cooperative activity (same value for every member)

    So true ! I hope developer @Pichu is reading and taking notes :)

    @jt123 (INT1)  Check out Cuddlyfox's post higher in this thread
    "the leprechauns will appear on the farm that has a prank. This could be any of the 3 farms."

    Does anyone know what the "Leprechaun Treat" is?  (And before anyone points out it's in the official announcement, I looked, and the info isn't specific enough.)

    I won one in my pot of gold, but I can't find it.  Don't see a booster or anything extra in my inventory.

    Anybody?  Bueller?
  • KarenKay (US1)KarenKay (US1) Posts: 1,036
    So I get the message my farm has been pranked and click on the arrow:

    And it takes me to my building to finish the production or to find him:

    So he pranked my house?  No foggy look, and I searched and found no leprechaun anywhere...glitch?

    I got pranked on my main farm. I found the little guy and got the 3 gold pots. The one I picked said gift. The gift I got was on my GF and it was a 50% lucky charm sparkle on my goat. 

    So look on all your farms for some sparkles and that is your gift.
  • @artful (US1) I also got a Leprechaun Treat  and I could not see it with the animations off, when I turned them on it was on a cow shed.hope that helps.

    I know it is early in this event but so far I do not like the fact we only get drops from fields. I liked getting drops from mills and that is how I finished most of other events like this. 
     
    This must be impossible for low level players that do not have lots of fields on or all 3 farms.

    Hey @KarenKay (US1) looks like Lester is playing a prank & leading you in the wrong direction :p I looked at your farms, I can see a leprechaun prank on your laboratory on the flower farm. ;)

    1200 gold in one of the leprachaun pots

    @stef7 (US1) @Letty.liongamez (GB1)  Tried it, still found nothing.  I guess I'll never know.  LOL!

    Thanks, though.  :)

    @CuddlyFoxes  Too weird, I checked all 3 farms, and was on the Flower Farm when I clicked the arrow, which took me to the main farm and showed my house  :#  Pranked again, so off looking for the latest one.  Thanks for your help.

    St. Patrick's Day! page is done except for a few Hard work rewards and some crop drop rates.



    Also take a look at the Flash deals and see what you can get for a $1.

    Hey @Tinie Sudjana (INT1)  Players will be divided into different ranges depending on their level. This applies to the rankings as well as the activity rewards. The ranking rewards are the same for all ranges.

    We have just been discussing this in chat - some players are not getting the same prizes .

    example  prize 13 on hard worker,   some players are getting 50,000 vouchers,  while others are only getting 30,00 vouchers.  Or has this section got different set rules, if so why.

    We are all on different lists.  Very annoying when player nearly 100 levels up is receiving lower prize.

    Awaiting your reply with interest.

    Hey, I'm sorry if this was already answered, but I can't find it. When the leprechaun pranks you, will you find them only on the farm you were pranked? Like if my meadows on the flower farm are pranked, will I find him on that specific farm, or could he be on the gourmet or main farm too? I can't find the little bugger. Also, is he just in the surrounding area, or can he be inside the fence too?
    If pranked by a leprechaun you may have to search out side the fence of each farm for him/her, they are bigger than the candy about the same size as 1 of the large pumpkins ;)

    They are bigger than the candy about the same size as 1 of the large pumpkins can be found on any 1 of your farms out side the fence area.

    @CuddlyFoxes  Maybe they're messing with me again, I can't find the leprechaun from the second prank, argh!  
  • We have enough bugs. We don't need pranks too.
    Amen to that! :)
    I hate all this BS. I don't like pranks and I hate leprechauns. I find them as creepy as clowns. Too bad we can't opt out of this stupid event. >:)
  • I don't understand the negativity with this event? You get prank'd once every five hours, find the leprechaun, open a pot for a chance of either a 100% production increase, a prize (which could be gold), or another prank. In which case you find another leprechaun and get another chance at getting a prize, production increase, or a prank. Wash, rinse, repeat.

    What's wrong with that? :/

  • I can't find the blasted leprechaun.

    I don't get it either. The event itself apart from the pranks asks u to farm......god forbid any of us have to do that! Some ppl need to lighten up.

    http://crazybigfarm.tk/events/recurring_annual/county_fair.htm Try the zooming in tips on the bottom left of this page like for the candy hunt event. The leprechauns will be outside the fenced area of your farm, and are in green so very easy to skim over if you scan over the farm too quickly.


  • got him
  • Ive only been pranked once since the event. Also,I believe there is a glitch already. I reloaded the game and the days for how long the vent lasts,went from 9 days to 8 days!! WTF??? Also,when the event began it said 9 days to complete. So what happened to the first day??
  • gavinfarms (US1)gavinfarms (US1) US1 Posts: 2,273
    I have not another leprechaun in 9 hours now.

    On the ranking rewards, I find this more and more frustrating.  Since I know that I will not be in the top 10, competing in this event is almost pointless, is it not?
