    I save my dollar mining licenses for the WWC -- you get points for mining. :)

    As for Santa's Workshop, even with instructions and three years of playing, I have yet to totally figure it out, so pretty much will be skipping it this year except for the occasional spin

    yes think i shall be spending more time on my other games than this one, ggs never give you anything enjoyable to do always money with them, even at Christmas time you would have thought they would have supported there players with something enjoyable not cost gold but no thats too much to ask for.

    The thing goes like this: see those boxes on the right side? You are on a top floor (all boxes lit!). The timer shows time to drop from the highest box to the next one. When the time runs out, the upper box becomes grey and next timer shows up (time to go down to the next box). Seams that your first timer just got stuck as you had the event open when it ran out. Just reload the event and you should see the next timer start and the upper box grey.


    So you go down box by box. And only when you drop down to the bottom, you can spin the wheel again. More time is needed to pass the lower boxes than the higher ones. And if I remember correctly it takes exactly 24h from the top to the bottom. So one decoration per day (or a bit more if you go for the lower valued decos). You would need to wait till tomorrow to be able to spin the wheel again.


    As you can see mine - it got to box 7 and will need approx. one hour to get to the box 6.

    you get 1 free (with donation of items) a day. If you want more, you need to spend gold.
  • CrazyBigfarm55 (US1)CrazyBigfarm55 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,226
    The event runs for 23 days and I think one free spin a day is enough to get yourself some nice decos. I don't see how you could possably have enough junk on-hand to donate more than once a day.

    This event is pretty boring i'm afraid :(

    Heh.. I can spin 31 times just on my LOBSTERS. :)

    (They don't seem to have any OTHER use.. It's not like contracts ask for 'em. :tongue:)

    I think mine is broken . I won't let me add more items . They now show in the negative . Mine also says it's for 5 days not 23.

    I get contracts with lobsters now and then, and they are good money when you need to sell fish off. :)

    You're at the top of the tree. You need to spin.

    The Wheel is going to take a short break on the 17th, then return and stay until Jan 1st. It's in Wabbit's calendar thread.
  • CrazyBigfarm55 (US1)CrazyBigfarm55 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,226
    It says 5 days becaus it's going down on the 17th due to an update for a short time as WascallyWabbit stated in this post.

    That means the time has expired for you to be able to pay gold and spin the wheel again at that level.



    If you click on the number "7", for instance, and there's time left on the timer, you can pay the amount of gold on the right side and immediately spin the wheel for a level 7 decoration.

    If you click on the number "2", you can pay the amount of gold on the right side and immediately spin the wheel for a level 2 decoration (or start donating again to work your way up the tree again).

    If the timer is expired for "9", then you won't be able to pay gold to spin again for a Level 9 decoration - you'll either have to wait the full 24 hours, or pay gold for a LESSER quality (8, 7, 6, 5, etc.) deco and then donate your way back up to level 9 again.

    (The blue "pay Gold" button should be greyed out if the timer is expired, but that doesn't seem to be happening on HTML.. Haven't checked on Flash).

    TL;DR, it's not broken, it's working exactly like it's supposed to. (Well, except for the button not getting greyed out).
  • So am I right in thinking the only way to 'pay' to spin the wheel is by using gold unless you only spin the wheel once every 24 hours?  If so, no way am I spending 300k plus gold (I have never even had that much gold) to get an 'unknown' deco!  Yes it might be level 8 or 9, but 300k+ but not a chance, not now, not next week, not ever!

    Thanks - as you can tell I've still not got my head round this totally yet.

    Correct. The only way to spin more than once every 24 hours is to pay gold.

    The amount of gold goes down with time, and you can unlock the wheel again at Level "2" usually for under 1,000 gold - even right after spinning, but then you've got to donate from Level 2 all the way up to Level 9 again (512,000+ candles).

    Or you can wait the full 24 hours and it will unlock at Level "2" for free.

    Thanks for your help . It worked but got the deco i didn't want . It say says you are looking for co-op members . Are you ?
  • Thanks Southern - sorry another question though - does it mean you can only play for 'free' for level 2 dec's?  I don't mind donating items other than gold, but obviously it depends what they are are how many!  (and secretly hope there is one option for Ludwig coins!) 
  • Borgia (SK1)Borgia (SK1) SK1 Posts: 455
    i have a question here. i used the wheel today first time, as i said above, and it gave me option to donate dollar mining licences. is there a way to choose what you want to give? or is it just one pre-set thing for the day (because i'm not gonna give gold either), and that's it? or is there a way to give more than just one thing? (like combo of dung and...idk.. carp fish)

    Correct. You can spin for a Level 2 deco for free, once a day.

    If you want a higher level deco, you can donate items for "Candles", which allow you to spin for higher level Decorations.



    For instance, you would have to donate 13,564 "Candles" in order to spin for a Quality 6 Decoration.  Value of items (in Candles) varies, such as like a Gold Mining Certificate is worth 200 candles, a Lobster is worth 19 candles, a Special Wheat Seed is worth 21 candles, etc., etc. Just about everything in game has a candle value. :)

    CrazyBigFarm has a list of some of the values, but it's not complete. (I think it's just missing the Deep Sea Fishing stuff - fish & equipment).

    But if you don't donate anything, you can still spin for a Quality 2 decoration once a day, for free.

    There should be a pull-down arrow (Labeled "A" in the graphic below). Just click it.

    I got a pagan holiday deco on the Santa's workshop??? Why would a "Dead Tree" be a deco offered on this event?  Straight to Greta that one went.  :neutral:

    It looks like they are an assortment from all holidays/events, and regular days as well, not just Christmas.
