    Does anyone else have a problem with the pranks? I only ever got to find the leprechaun once, but after that, it's always seemed to highlight the same building each time (even if I relocate it), there's no 'aura' around the building and no text saying the leprechaun had pranked the building, and there's no leprechaun to find. The harvest from the supposedly pranked building is a perfectly normal harvest.

    Aside from getting it to work that one time, it seems broken on my farm for the last 6 days :(

    I still find it staggering that players are being negative about the leprachaun hunting/pranks. Sure its an inconvenience at times, sure he is well hidden at times and it becomes even more annoying when the pot chosen is another prank BUT there's gold in some of these pots. I will end up with a few thousand gold by the end of this event so while some elements are quite dull and repetitive (the happiness/hard work rewards build up) others are very rewarding.

    The flash sales are a highlight, it should appear more often away from the events.
    I've had some excitement going on in my life, lol, if you can call moving exciting, and haven't had the time I normally do to enjoy playing.  I'd pop on early in the morning, check to find the prank, and as quickly as possible try and find that elusive leprechaun.  Of course, I find him and get another prank, and again, and again.  At times over the past week, I admit, I would get annoyed, but not enough to come and voice it here, lol.  It was my real life circumstances that caused the stress, not a pesky leprechaun.  :)  So I'm sure that with work commitments etc., time constraints are causing many to voice their frustrations.  Since I lived within that realm this past 2 weeks, I'm going to cut them some slack.   ;)

    I would like to know your secret in winning gold.  I didn't win any, guess I can't chose the best chests.  I won 2 batches of gold clovers and all the others were treats.  One was exceptionally good, doubling the output of honey cream from the shop.  That all by itself was my incentive to keep looking for that ornery little green man.  Unfortunately with having to be away to pack and then 3 days of actual moving, my deco will be far lower in happiness than my norm.  But that's OK, the event was new, refreshing, and fun.  I look forward to a repeat of it next year and hopefully I'll do much better happiness wise.

    Very pleased with this whole event.... Won 3 times 400 gold, 3 times golden clovers, rest were treats: 2 on chicken coop, rest on best producing, high leveled buildings (cherries, flowershop honeycream 4x, silo 2x, peaches 2x, distillery 2x, lab with dung - is what I can remember) ... Once had to go after that pesky little green guy 5x in a row :p. I know that choosing out of 3 pots is a gamble of course, but up until now I am very pleased. Also love the fine activity rewards!
  • When St. Patrick's Day is over,
    is leprechaun's prank automatic remove?

  • KarenKay (US1)KarenKay (US1) Posts: 1,036
    OK, now I'm officially bummed out.  I finally pick the RIGHT chest and win 400 gold, but it isn't added to my gold total. Like most, I check that total each time before I do anything with the potential for winning gold and it didn't change :/  
  • Jiesta (NL1)Jiesta (NL1) Posts: 6,557
    Are you sure?

    It's added to your total as soon as you click (choose) the pot (so that very moment is too late to check things) ..... I checked this twice to be sure. All gold I won was indeed added to my totals - but one has to look and memorize his total, before searching for the leprechaun.

    As soon as the arrow in the StPD menu would turn green, I would first check the amounts of my gold and clovers totals, and only then go look for the little green moppet  ;)

    This has happened to a few people.  I forgot what they did to get the gold to show up.  Answer buried in this thread somewhere.  Hope you find it.

    I was thinking to give you a well structured answer about what reasons I personally have to dislike lepre and his pranks. One of them would be similar to what KarenKay told you - just time inconvenience for us who don't sit the game day and night. But then I decided that the following one will be enough to remove you from your staggering bewilderment. :) This pesky lepre is not only pesky, but seriously lacking in training. His last prank was played on my Farm Laboratory. Well no biggie you might think. Only it's the one which is still quietly sitting in build menu. :):):) Actually, that is the first of his pranks I have no issues with at all. :):):)

    So, where's the deco we were supposed to get from Leprechaun? Is he playing another prank? 

    Edit: Just got it, 22 mins after event finished.LOL
  • Jiesta (NL1)Jiesta (NL1) Posts: 6,557
    It's where it should be: in my inventory. But I had to refresh first ...... maybe that would help you too?

    I got my decoration  OK Its in drop box, I also got  offered to get
    better HP decoration on 1 I had earned for almost 59K gold. This is why  I now don't play as much, because no matter how much I play,how much I do, GGS has something better for a price. Its sucking the fun right out of the game for me.
  • PCA (GB1)PCA (GB1) GB1 Posts: 839


    Is this some sort of a mistake ?

    I got the decoration in my drop-box and Greta is around so I checked: To add a single point (the first point) of happiness to the Leprechaun castle costs

    5,026,042   farm cash           or 
    3351  decoration parts          or
    2968   gold

    Generally the first few points happiness cost very little, this seems quite a bit out of the ordinary for a 50+ decoration that has only a quality 5





  • Bufo (AU1)Bufo (AU1) AU1 Posts: 167
    I got my level 5 Leprechaun castle with 53 NHP and 23 VHP.  Went to Greta to improve it, and she wants $2,810,626 :(
    She only wants $2044 to improve my level 5 Snowman family with 53 NHP, and $271,822 to improve my level 5 Beckoning cat with 84 NHP and 6 improvements already done.

    I've reloaded the game, and the cost hasn't changed.  Why the excessive cost to improve?

    @Bufo (AU1) and @artful (US1)

    my deco has 53 NHP and 29 VHP

    maybe the VHP explains why it is so much more expensive to add happiness points, even though Greta increases only the NHP. I am not sure this is the reason .....

    Yep, what Jiesta said.  This threw me off the first time I won gold too.. I thought I didn't get it, so from then on I started writing down my gold amount BEFORE looking for the leprechaun.  If you wait until you click one of the 3 pots and see the little pop-up that says "you won 400 gold!", it's too late - it's already been added to the amount at the top.
     
    I imagine this probably confused a number of people.
  • KarenKay (US1)KarenKay (US1) Posts: 1,036
    @Southern (US1) @Jiesta (NL1)  I keep a log.  When I logged in, I had 7117.  When I found the leprechaun, still 7117.  When I picked a chest with GOLD, winning 400, woohoo, still 7117.  And it remained at that amount through the end of the event, so yes, I'm sure!   :(

    Work commitments also slowed my progress big time after a fast start. Luckily I had zero interest in the top 10 prize so it worked out just fine. Managed to find the leprachaun and choose from pots twice a day during this event, once before work and once after. I'm afraid there's no strategy to finding the gold pots, ended up with about 3k gold from this event just by pure luck so even though some parts of this event were quite dull and repetitive I find it impossible to criticize any aspect of it (including the pranks, and the bugs when trying to find the lil green man). Its been years since I bought gold so i'm happy with events that have them as a reward. Kudos to GGS for bringing us a new event, hope there's more to come.

    Skins are located in the Appearance Tab of the Housing Menu.



    You should find the skin for the Leprechaun House in there if you were in the Top 10 for your level bracket.

    Well, I'm sorry to hear that, Karen. Sounds like a ticket to Support might be in order in that event.  Good luck!

    Part of the issue with lepre pranks is this. If a player can roam around the game whenever asked to, meaning has no other timed duties and responsibilties (like need to be siting in my car in 10 minutes heading for meeting with a client or pick children from school etc.) then yes, after every prank or series of pranks there finaly was a "reward". Wheather the reward was worth it is another question cause not everybody was lucky to get a lot of gold.

    If a player on the other hand just came to harvest and has no extra time to spend with the game, than he's likely to get half harvest and no reward. And it might be a case when the harvest was carefuly calculated to move to next step of deco event for example. Even when I'm not time bound I often have other good reasons why I don't want to take my focuss from what I'm doing and start responding to unexpected demands of the game.

    On top of that, spoiling somebody's building efforts is an expression of bad manners or meanness. Not sure how that goes with PEGI whatever classification. And I think random pranking is not an integral part of strategic building game either.

    So in my case lepre pranks was a very bad idea and I can't be bribed into endorsing it even by a chance of geting a few measly thousands of gold. :)

  • I'm not happy with how it ended - there was no pop up screen that showed the final standings.  I was 9th with seconds to go and I have no idea how I finished.  I don't know if I got booted in the last seconds or if I made it and I'm missing a prize I earned (house skin). 

    Overall I'm mixed on the event.  I liked it to a point - the point that it went on WAAAAAYYYYY too long.  It needed to be like at least 4 days shorter.  The prizes were good, though they ran out quick (for me anyway) and the top prize was a bit of a snoozer.  I liked the leprechaun a lot, that feature was fun and I'd enjoy something like that done again.  I also really like the big deco prize, soon as I can make a spot I'll be placing that prettyness on my main farm. 

    But still aggravated that I have no idea how the standings ended and if I should have gotten a skin or not, after all the hard work and gold I sunk into it!

    Same here. Still wanting to know. I cannot find the skin anywhere and with less than 10 seconds remaining I was 10th and about 3000 clovers away from the 11th.

    I finished up 10th and I cannot see the leprechaun house skin anywhere. Is anybody else experiencing this issue?

    I completely agree with both of you - (whether you've got many free hours or not so many free hours to play per day). I always stayed between 200-300, never made a chance at the 'skin' or 'flag', but this event was great fun to do and all of my coop members thought so. We love to see this event coming back next year! :)

    This event was alright, although I do miss the days when we had fewer competitive events. I know I'm probably alone in this though, and that's fine. c: I'm just not a very competitive person, and most events having a competition aspect dampens my mood about them a bit and makes me not even try. Especially since I'm in a high level bracket - I secretly wish I could have stopped exp gains at around lvl 40! A lot of the high level stuff is very challenging for me and my available time. ;o

    That doesn't mean the event was bad though, I hope it comes back next year! Everyone else seemed to have lots of fun, I don't mind being an Unpopular Opinion Otter at all! c:
  • I kept my fields going 24/7 and I used a lot of special event seeds to get that 53 point deco because I knew I was going to want it for when the Village opens up.  But the value of the 4x4 isn't very good considering how much effort went into getting it and then when it is all over I find that it costs 2,000 spare parts for just a 1 point upgrade.
    Overall for me, some of the fun of the event was diminished because I felt forced to do more than I would have liked in order to get a deco I could actually use on my farm.  If it had not been tied in with the Village I would not have used up so much special seed or time on it.

    @Southern (US1)  Effort in futility.  I've still got 5 open tickets waiting for resolution. One is from over a year ago and you'd think they'd be tired of my nagging, lol.  At least I finally managed to win one, even if I didn't receive it, cause I was beginning to think i was jinxed on them  ;)
