Shovel

[queenaleecia]

How in the heck do i get a shovel?! I'm level 19 and still haven't received not even one. I need hammers too. Also, how often does Lilly come into the restaurant?

[ghjvcucjb]

Shovels, hammers, planks, nails, blueprints...all building parts come from CID the Construction work.

Not sure about the exact timing for Lily but she seems to show up in my shop every 40-60 minutes. If I have been gone for a while she shows up within a few minutes of me opening my game.

lol same here....18 level still waiting for the shovel...ITS JUST A JOKE!!

I didn't start receiving them regularly until about level 22-23. Other than for goal purposes, I don't understand why we even need to open more than a couple slots though due to the spice station only allowing you to make 1 at a time. And right now for me, I have a 1hr spice or 3 hr spice. No actual recipes that call for them. I actually just posted something in regards to this. Also, the only reason I open more slots is too free up space in my toolbox but I noticed after opening my 4th slot that in order to open a 5th slot, you have to have 10 seeds and 3 or 4 shovels. There's no way I'll ever have enough space for that, lol

[konstans07]

so we have to wait until level 22 or more?
cause until now (level 18) haven't receive even one shovel. And i need one to open a slot for the goal.
Its ridiculous !!

No I didn't say it that. That's just my experience. Hopefully yours and others will be different and hopefully you'll get one sooner! :)

Keep us posted! Especially after reading a level 26 player still hasn't received one:( Has me very curious:confused:

[Yummmmmmies]

I'm level 24 and I've received a total of 2 shovels. They sure aren't a common item...

[ghjvcucjb]

Level 24, 5 shovels plus whatever I used to open extra herb plots. My issue has always been planks. I literally trash nails, hammers, blueprints every day waiting for planks.

I finally got a shovel from the guy and I'm half way through level 24

[konstans07]

level 19 and still nothing....no shovel!!

The planks are also an other thing........Im deleting nails and don't get planks at all!!! Looooooove this game...!!

[queenaleecia]

I still haven't gotten one. I need planks too. Smh.

[DrP4ever]

I need seeds and haven't gotten any in days.

[qusiesue]

It takes too long to expand and complete tasks, waiting for parts... crazy! I am on level 20 and still cant do much

[Reveler]

Update: Just reached level 27 and still no shovel. I refuse to use gems. It's almost funny now.

[konstans07]

Lol!!!!!!!

Almost level 20 and no shovel...Agree, its ridiculous ...Until level 20 and I'm gonna delete this game. so Annoying!!!!

[morningstarguitar]

I'm almost 27 and I've had 4 shovels total - my first one dropped at lvl 24

[Reveler]

Yippee! Finally got my first shovel just before reaching level 28.

[kusutmasai]

Oddly, I received my first shovel from Cid at level 16. I wonder if there are any special conditions to prompt that?

[WinnyWoos]

Yippee! Finally got my first shovel just before reaching level 28.

Congrats on your first one!! But I'll say almost level 28....that's just ridiculous on so many levels. Literally can't stop smh on this....

[angela3737]

I got a shovel and hammer ( 2 accounts ) level 15&17.. But no wood for 1 week..

[Morichinatsu]

I've read that as you gain levels, blueprints will become more common, and I believe that will be the case with shovels and hammers as well.
I got my first shovel when I was level 19. I also believe it depends on how you play the game, because if you constantly leave your shop open, you will have to keep making food and if you're not there all the time, you'll only get the worker when you are there, hence why you might be level 26 and still not gotten one.

I tend to make lots of food, mostly stocks of fajitas, and I keep my restaurant closed by keeping the chairs and tables away from each other, and putting something to block the door. Then when I'm ready, I'll put some chairs back and unblock the door so only a few people get food and I can get a tool item. Since I'm saving my food, I don't cook more as often as if I would just leave it open, so I don't get XP until I need to make more. About 8 XP every 140 construction workers, if I only let a total of 5 people in each time.

[chiaroscurio]

I'm only 200 xp from finishing level 28 and I still have yet to see a single shovel.

[ElaineCarrel]

I'm only lvl 17 and I've got 2 already and no use for them.

[ST4CoolGames]

I'm at Lvl 24 and I haven't received a shovel yet. Admittedly, I don't play that much because the game is a bit frustrating to me. The wait time for some ingredients is ridiculous and who wants to wait for Cid to drop off parts that you already have in abundance?!

[Rynetory2]

I definitely need Liam to drop more shovels. They are extremely rare for me. :(
