The cursed snake statue is nice looking, as well as the cow statue that you can earn leaderboard points from.

I'm not interested in anything else however, the frog is cute but I know I won't win it, so I'll just stop doing anything in the leaderboard after I win the both of them.

Though I wonder how big that cow statue will be.

Does anyone else not get points from collecting from the windmill? I never gets points from it in any challenge and I only get one point if I collect multiple things from one building (ie noodle house). I swear my game is cursed in general lol

Craft items in the Windmill - 1+ points
6 flour (10 mins) = 1 point
3 white sugar (20 mins) = 1 point
2 powdered sugar (30 mins) = 1 point
1 corn starch (1 hr 30 mins) = 1 point
2 corn starch (1 hr 30 mins) = 3 points

If you don't collect an hours worth at one time you won't get points.
I only try and make corn starch during an event.
Two bags is three hours.
I never pick it up unless two bags are there.
First bag one point
Second bag two points
But they have to be picked up at same time.

Also
2 Almond Flour (30 minutes each) = 1 point
3 Brown Sugar (40 minutes each) = 2 points

Because of my needs, I usually make 2 Flour and 1 Brown Sugar (1 point) or 3 White Sugar (1 point). Committing to only 1 hour at a time means I don't get stuck waiting for the queue to empty when I might need to start something new for an order

This also applies to all crafts which are less than an hour.

Pretty much it is one point per hour for everything including pigs... Pigs take 3 hours each and give 3 points per pig.

I really don?t like the prize this time

[TwixAndScones]

I finally got the "Cursed Snake Statue" and it looks like the snake spits something out of its mouth? Interesting, though I cannot tell what it's supposed to be spitting out.

I may continue to just get the milestones, since I am most of the way there already, might as well just finish getting the milestone prizes especially when I still have a week left.

I was thinking venom!
Like a spitting Cobra

Yes thinking about it, you're most likely right, as that makes the most sense.

Anyway, this is my first time - but I got 10 gems from the purple box!

56488

Exciting! As I was able to buy another rainbow spinner with it

So glad I continued to get the milestones then.

[TwixAndScones]

Also since I have stopped doing or trying to participate in the collection turn-in event, my full focus is on this leaderboard now.

Hopefully since all my attention is on this, I'll be able to possibly take home the frog, or at least that's what I hope.

If I don't get the frog, I won't care or be upset about it. Because to be fair, there's a little over 7 days left - anything is possible in terms of people overtaking me, etc.

But if I manage to take home the frog, I'll be definitely happy.

Though if there is no hope, regarding someone overtaking me by a massive landslide, I'll cease participation.

As i have well over 300,000 coins, so I don't need the coins like others may - and I don't care for the "winning decoration" being offered.

But so far, there is luck for me yet!

[TwixAndScones]

I'm almost 1,000 points ahead of those who are in second, and third place.
56515

Due to me constantly filling bus orders, which if completed, can give you 4 points for every one order section you complete, plus an additional 30-40 points (so far) if you complete the whole bus order.

I'm not really sending out planes currently, as they're a bit more difficult to fill than a bus is, to me. So I'm really only earning my points between the buses, the wheel, and then the "Cow Statue"

Depending on how much points are being offered in the "leaderboard point value pack" is - that may eventually come up before this is over (if it does), I may not have to worry too much about getting knocked off. Especially if I continue to do and fill up a bus as fast as possible.

I'm not going to say I'll win, definitely, as there's still 5 days left. Anything is still very much possible.

I just hope I am able to, though I'm not going to be upset if I don't, like I said. As I seen someone awhile ago on a separate leaderboard (that I was also on) get knocked out of first place by the end of the leaderboard, and take it out on the person who won, I'm not like that.

Though it would be amazing to get my 2nd ever trophy in the game, and it be a gold like my first one was

I'm not using gem boosters at all, just because if I have to pay to win - I don't see the use in it, personally. Though I will not shame others who may do so.

So if I get knocked off, I'll take it in stride!

[KojiMama]

The pop up for goal 9/11 keeps happening every few minutes. I tried doing a lot of mining to fulfill it but nothing is dropping. I don’t know if the two are connected but could we make the pop up stop please?

[TwixAndScones]

Oh, if I do manage to take home the frog - I do hope it can go until the crawlers hallow. I won't know for a day If I do win it. But if I do, I do hope it can also be in that habitat. As I already have that habitat plus it's a very beautiful habitat to be placed in, to me at least!

Anyway, if nothing else I'm getting a lot of buses filled! I've gotten many bronze bells from filling all of the buses I have. For the last few days I haven't missed doing a bus yet

I bought a few of the mining rocks

56609

And I still have over 6+ of the bronze bells left. I may also use them on more rocks to spice up that area more.

Anyway. Very fun!

ETA (edited to add) more pictures. I decided to splurge out buying more mining rocks with all the bronze bells I've gotten recently from the buses.

[A1ian0re]

I love the leaderboard events so much I hope they never change! Although I am savouring winning the raccoon as I know I will not be able to get 6,500 points when I hit level 50 and just doing this leaderboard I?ve shot up 2 levels to 48 so I only expect to be able to win one more pet this way. My mum is level 60 and she does the exact same play as me if not more and never gets enough points so I expect the higher level one is nigh on impossible. Currently second on the leaderboard for the frog and 3rd place is only in 2,000s so hopefully I?ll stay there and get the frog too! I?m so happy for the leaderboard events even more so as I really hate the collection events now

For those who may want to get it; it's now available.

Anyway, I'm shocked that they offered it last day of leaderboard - but they did.

I'm glad I've been filling as many trucks as possible then.

Do keep in mind this is US pricing, as I currently live in America right now.

[TwixAndScones]

I got the Archeologist Frog, Cute but wished it could live in the crawlers hallow. But anyways. I got my 2nd trophy ever! And it was also a gold like my 1st one was.

56626

It can live in Backwoods Bayou / or Jungle Falls.

[PookieBear50]

Made it up to 2nd, but dropped to 3rd because the next person wanted it more badly than I did (plus I didn't have any gems to jump forward at the end).

Barely broke 3,000 points (okay, 3,091, but still), but 1st was only 4,235. Not sure what happened this time, but I think my spins only exceeded 50 points once. Everything else was between 12 and 39. And that's taking into account I was working and couldn't play consistently. Oh, well.

By the way...where does the Adventurer Raccoon go?

[JustKay]

By the way...where does the Adventurer Raccoon go?

It goes in the rescue pen like most other raccoons. Doesn?t say about any other pet buildings.

Spins are only generous if you are falling behind. I find that they return less and less the higher up in rankings u are. Gold chests have given me as little as 18 points when I am first. It?s to keep pressure up on the point leaders, and motivate laggards to keep in the competition. Once near the top u get less easy points from the wheel and have to work (or spend) harder to maintain your lead.

The wheel also evens out the grouping process, since people can catchup to players who logged in earlier that day and had a few hours head start. When u have zero points u will be bottom of the rank.

Thanks for the info. I've updated the Pets Habitats thread. And thanks for the info about the wheel.

[TheJenny007]

Thank you for sharing! I must be doing something that isn?t accumulating to those then. GREATLY appreciated!! I?ll monitor my progress with that info :)
