For all those locked out, I’m so sorry! That’s got to be so frustrating! I hope it gets resolved very soon.
I just finished making the Swirlicorn! Will post drops in seven hours. I have 9 alpacas, 6 white sheep, 1 candy ram, and 1 sorbet ram. I was level 44 when I started so my requirements were not as high. My ICM is level 9 and I have received a total of 5 gold coins from it. 2 at level 7 and 3 at level 9. The rest of the 20 to make the Swirlicorn I converted in the sweet tooth booth. My goal was to get the Swirlicorn first and then whatever coins I collected after that I’d count as bonus and would go to mystery trades. I gemmed my ICM when I had a half hour or hour left until collection. This way I was only spending 1-2 gems per collection which gave me several more collections a day. I did not do the math (math and I do not get along) ahead of time to see what way worked best. I gemmed at times that were most convenient to my schedule. After my ICM was level 7 I rarely got one bronze only. It was ether 4+ bronze or a combo of silver and bronze and sometimes gold. I had two collections that were 2 bronze, 1 silver and a gold. I’m not sure if this helps anyone strategize but I thought I’d share my experience. Good luck to everyone; I hope you all get what you want from this event. I also hope your mystery boxes contain better goodies than what’s been reported so far.
