1. The coin version of the Grape Vines is permanent and will be staying after the event ends.
2. The Grape Jelly and Jelly Donut crafts will be removed at the end of the event.

I can't help but feel ripped off now...

1) the picture of the gilded vine gave the impression that you received more than 1 grape (see photos)
This picture shows the coin vines with 2 grapes and the pergola with 4 grapes.
The gilded vines show 3 grapes.
Once again the pergola showing 4 grapes.

2) there was a common consensus in this forum that the coin vines would not be permanent therefore incentivizing us to purchase the gilded vines
3) I don't know about others but I fell in love with the tarts and donuts and therefore wanted to ensure that I would have an abundant amount of grapes to be able to enjoy crafting them
However, now that the donut is being removed and the coin vines are permanent it's painfully obvious that the aforementioned conclusions were all incorrect I can't help but feel foolish for having purchased 2 gilded vines.

Oh, I thought those initial screens were just to demonstrate that the vines produced purple OR green grapes......and not literally in numbers

I haven't received any white grapes in the last 5 harvestings. Is anyone else having such a low collection rate for them?

No green ones for me either. I'm stuck now as I need more green grapes for the tarts and all I get is purple. I have 2 coin vines and 1 gem vine.

Honestly speaking, the glided grapevine is a rip-off! It only give one random grape every 2hr, which is the same as the white grapevines(coins version). The only difference is the gems price tag. Also the pop-up for the glided grapevine is misleading, grow even more grapes?! Ya right, only ONE pathetic random grape. Now tell me, who in the right mind will though they will just get only ONE random grape for the gems price they paid? Not forgetting the 2hr timer is the same as the white grapevines. And I do feel sorry for those who bought the glided grapevines, thinking that the white grapevines isn't permanent. The confirmation came too late.

I'm still stuck at quest #5, not enough purple grape to made tart. And I still need 3 more tarts to go. Probably need another 2-3 days judging by the drop rate. smh

I am done!!! And I don't feel ripped off I bought both gilded vines as well as the coin ones and I did use a few gems and a bundle pack to level up I always do and I don't feel bad about it because now I'm done and with the excess I can help others out. My pergola looks lovely 🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

I don't think that paying the 74 gems for the one gilded grapevine is that bad esp. when grape growing and its recipes remain after the event.....

YIKES... Suddenly 2 of my vines have the smoking tent around them like it is a new building ! What is up with that? Has anyone had that happen?

OH NO. And when the tent disappeared, the time went back to zero! With no grapes on the vines. UGH. I am already behind in this event. *pouting

Thank you so much for the answers.

Sorry that you lost your vines and grapes. Are your vines back to normal now?
