Just sat down to do some maths and work out if I could finish this event... I thought I might had a chance to finish the event before I saw your post on Goal 8.
I was thinking since it took me about 3 days to complete goals 1-4 because of my very low drops, well I could finish Goal 5-7 by the end of the event and win a gnome. And now after knowing that we needed 5 gnome coins for the pet, I have no chance of completing this event. Didn't expect such a heavy last goal of 5 coins. I thought it was 1 coin like in past events.
With 10 days left, I will need to make 1 coin every 2 days, i.e. complete Goals 3 to 7, or at least get enough drops. There's no way I can get it done with my current drops. This should be fine for farms with good or excellent drops but unfortunately for me, I have to be realistic on my odds.
For those of you who manage to complete this event, I will appreciate if you can help to post a picture of your gnome for me to add to the Pets Guide. Thanks.
Good luck everyone.
(I'm still at Goal 4 at the time of this post.)
