Thanks for the tips, I?ve been doing mainly scarves and soap the whole time apart from longer rarer items to do whilst I?m asleep makes no difference :/
I also only have 30 gems I?ve been away from the game for a while and must have spent them all before I came back so been saving them up from pets and daily video. I greatly prefer leaderboard and country fair events. I try these ones but I never get anywhere with them. I thought I?d figured the trick out that the drop rate goes down when you have to get the item for a goal so I?d leave off getting the first ones in order to have a day or so to collect new items before getting a goal and getting none at all for days but this time it?s made no difference. My mum uses this trick too she?s also getting even angrier than I am every time we go on the game lol
