    I had Lester visit my farm today for the first time ever. I fulfilled all 10 neighbors orders but in the end could not collect my money from Lester. I reloaded the game and cleared my cookies and cache but when the game came back up he was gone and I never did get my money. Did I do something wrong or is my Lester bugged?
    he does not  give  gold offer two times in a row , hope 3rd one is lucky for me

    I didn't even get past the collecting of money. It wouldn't let me, but thanks for the info

    Thank you, RWS but I think I will pass from now on.
  • Lester left today after giving me the cash bonus, but did not offer me the gold deal. Usually he offers it to me for some about double whatever amount of gold I have, lol
  • Mr.lester  comes over your farms that he choosen to asked to help him out and the way he asked is when he
    shows up by jumping up and down like a  mad man style ok

    You must be one of the lucky ones then 'cause usually when he does ask you to spend Gold it is more than what you have o hand or can produce with in the time frame of 24 hours. Take his reward and run ;)

    Thanks Data King, bit annoyed as I bought gold on an offer to be ready, then off he ran lol
  • why Lester had not yet come to me? PLEASE HELP

    If you bought gold, then he should come to your farm. If he has not yet come, he sure will.
  • I've never seen lester on my farm :( I'm sad
  • ashim (IN1)ashim (IN1) IN1 Posts: 572
    lester does not give 25k  dollar, so without completing dollar step he does not give gold offer
  • Data King (US1)Data King (US1) US1 Posts: 7,994
    May not always offer the gold deal ;)

    When Lester first appeared, folks in the coop were sharing how he had shown up, how they'd fulfilled the orders and then the crazy amounts of gold he was requesting.  I waited, and waited, and waited, and still he never came.  Some members had him come on a second and then third visit, and still, I'd yet to see him. Finally, after 4 months the crazy hopping man decided to do an appearance on my farm.  The vendor requests were easy to fulfill, and the gold he requested was nominal, so I did it.  He gave me back the exact same amount.  Two months later he appeared again, I fulfilled again, and he asked for a tiny bit more in gold than the last time, which I was able to easily do.  Then he appeared again, but this time he was a bit more greedy.  On the gold deal I had to spend 4800, not much for most, but way more than the previous time.  I went ahead and did it and he returned it.  Then in June he appeared again, I fulfilled the contracts and he requested that I spend 174,000 in gold.  Now I assure you I didn't jump through enormous amounts of levels during the time between his visits, nor did I purchase and spend anything even remotely close to that amount but I did have a whopping 578 gold on hand.  Obviously I didn't spend that amount so he didn't reimburse me, he just left.  Two weeks later he had the gall to show up again, two weeks?

    I can tell you exactly where Lester is.  He's in the same place he's been for the last 6 months. Maybe, perhaps, some day, I'll actually click on him and see if he's come to his senses or is still suffering some type of dementia.  ;)

    @Delcie (US1) As far as I remember, it was sad by Latten, that in certain cases Lester does not give the gold task. The "certain cases" were not explained, but I guessed that it has something to do with other offers. I think that if you have 200% or 100% gold offer runing together with the Lester, he just walks away.

     the more gold you have the more demand lester did . You are luckt to get lester so many times , there are many  people who did saw him at his/her id and gold offer is too long way for most of the members

    If that were the case, it would make sense.  But as I stated, I had less gold than any of the previous times but he requested thousands of times more.  So now he gets to just run around and hop up and down for eternity, or until I decide to give him another chance.....not likely.  ;)

    may be you buy gold ? after lester ist visit
  • KarenKay (US1)KarenKay (US1) Posts: 1,036
    Nope!  :)  That's why it seemed so ridiculous for it to increase by such a large amount.  But no worries, he's in no hurry to leave now, and I'm in no hurry to click on him!

    @janflipflo (GB1)  That could be the problem, after he has arrived, its best not to buy any gold until after you get his gold task & also try to avoid starting the gold task when there is a gold offer on your screen, as both things seem to scare him off.

    Did the locust destroy Lester's farm or what?  I have not seen him in months. Once you help him and spend the gold, he never comes back?
  • ashim (IN1)ashim (IN1) IN1 Posts: 572
    crazy did u buy gold , i spend 32k gold but lester is not visiting my farm from past atleast 2 months
  • CrazyBigfarm55 (US1)CrazyBigfarm55 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,226
    Yes I did have to buy gold to meet his total ashim.
  • I completed Lester  3 months ago and have not seen him since, either has my wife for around same time period. 
  • gizmo22 (AU1)gizmo22 (AU1) AU1 Posts: 1,720
    Lester? Who's lester? He has never appeared on my farm. I guess there's no locusts in my area  :)
  • He will only appear if you have bought gold
  • Southern (US1)Southern (US1) US1 Posts: 3,268
    Don't let Lester fool ya, he's a stingy little sucker. He won't come out if he thinks you're rich.

    I don't know exactly what the cutoff is, but if you have more than a certain amount of gold (it seems to be somewhere between 100k-200k gold), he just will flat out refuse to pay you a visit. He'll also refuse to give you the "gold" part of his deal if you complete the 10 neighbors portion during a 2-for-1 gold deal (He'll just pay you the $25,000 and leave).

    Makes sense I guess, GGS probably doesn't want Lester to match 200k gold spent. :)
  • gizmo22 (AU1)gizmo22 (AU1) AU1 Posts: 1,720
    That explains it, i've gathered quite a pile of gold playing this game. Lester and his locusts can stay away for all I care  :)
  • I want to ask about Locust Attack. If i buy 40 000 gold and than wait for him (for Lester who offers you to give a hand to some guests and than he offers you to spend gold and you will get some gold in return) and he offers to spend 21 000 gold in 24h this basicly means i can buy unlimited amount of gold with like 15€?
    Because if i buy 40 000 gold and than spend 21 000 gold for upgrading he will give me 21 000 gold back the very next day? So this means i will upgrade several things for free? Am i right?
    PS: does donated gold count like spent gold?
  • Uncle John (GB1)Uncle John (GB1) GB1 Posts: 11,004
    I strongly suspect that if you buy 40,000 gold, he will ask for a whole lot more than 21,000   :¬(
