    there are only two boxes (I believe) that require them and yes they do go up in price . . . i didn't get all three boxes and managed to make it to level 77 just fine. Gold spending is optional . . . you do not have to spend it. There are several players who have played into the higher levels without buying an ounce of gold. I am not one of those but we need all players to keep this game going since the ones that do buy gold are the ones that are making this game profitable for the goodgames. As with any business model, once they start losing money they will close the doors and every player will lose out gold buyers and the thousands who play it for free. That is why I do not frown at all the pop ups enticing us to buy gold . . . if I cannot afford to buy gold at the time or do not want it, I ignore it. It will go away in a day or hour or fifteen minutes and I continue to play this game I have fallen in love with.

    Yep, every crate you get offered the crowbar for only that crate will be more expensive. If you wait for too long opening a crate, a new one will replace the old one, with a higher price. Seriously, though, you do not really need those crates and they will disappear soon ;)

    I wrongly thought the same thing when I bought a crowbar. Could this be clarified in the dialogue box that it is a 'one-time' purchase?

    i had the same issue. By reading the dialogue of the box it seemed like the crowbar would be a good investment overall. I thought I was purchasing a crowbar not necessarily the box :(

    how do I delete my post posted twice

    This is enough - when a mod finds it she will delete it for you. You could also send the link to the thread to a mod (currently Kat Nip2) and ask if she can delete a post.

    It's in the crate. You need to buy it with gold. No other way to get it and I doubt it is worth it to spend all that gold on that crowbar. It seems helpful, but one can manage fine building a farm without it :)

    I know this is a game, but I just cannot get over how much money that crowbar costs. It is completely different from the real world, where people just would not pay that much money for a crowbar, that's if any one had the cheek to ask such a high price for it in the first place.

    And you can only use that crowbar once! Where do all the crowbars go after we use them? :huh:

    They are such bad quality that they break on the crate just as you managed to open it :P

    Is there any way to dismiss/opt out of a crate? I have a locked one (I'm only level 11), but I don't have/want to pay for the 1750 gold to unlock it.

    The crowbar is only shown to new players because some of them do not realize that they are not worth it and just buy it. Another reason players need to read these blogs

    You can not dismiss it, but you can ignore it. It will disapear eventually.

    I bought the crowbar when I was a newbie, figuring it'd be reusable. You know...Hefty piece of metal, costly, will come in handy for future crates. But no - Use it once and it disappears! An early lesson in the underhanded money-grubbing practices of GG$.

    Early in the game I started to get a task that required a crowbar, but I have yet to figure out how to get it. Anyone have any pointers? Thanks! ?(

    Don't do it!!! After the first one or two free crowbars the others are just a gold grab.
    If you can afford it and want to spend real money on some feed then good on ya, but it is just a money making scheme by GGS that is not worth the cost.

    yes I agree with Uncle Willy Bought gold normal price did not know about GS offers Used some gold to buy crowbar which I found I could use only once, next crowbar was double the price Ignore that task

    I got cargo that only can be opened with crowbar and crowbar costs gold so I want to know more about it. Is it a good investment, how often cargos land, is crowbar 1 time item or when you buy it you can always open sealed crates?
    Thanks for your answer

    Hi,

    Crowbar is just a 1 time item. There will be anoter cargo after the first one, you will need to buy another crowbar to open that one.
    So you have to ask yourself: are those items in cargo worth this amout of gold or not?
    Personaly, I think its not worht it. If you are a non gold user or a moderate one, then save your gold for better oportunities (watertower for example is an exellent investment).

    No, you can not find it. You have to buy it.

    Is there any way of getting a crowbar other than buying one? It may be easy for gold players, not for players not buying gold!!
  • edited 18.01.2015
    Are there other ways to open the cargo other than a crowbar ? If not, can you purchase one (a crowbar) somewhere ?

    How long do you have before it disappears ?

    Thank you

    No crowbar is only offered for gold but its not worth the gold needed . I bought 1 used it,could not use again. Another crate dropped,offered another crowbar for twice the price. My advice do not buy
