What can be done about players spamming you with requests to clear a path. I can only help once but sometimes get as many as 7 or 8 for a single path clear request

I selected the Black Camel as my mount but I cannot add a skin to it at the Cameleer's Shop. Are the skins only for the regular camel mount and not for the black or white camel mounts?

I know ive suggested this before but i realy think we need a option to use smaller ammount of blue packs instead of 25 or 1 at a time very time consuming clicking 5x till u lvl.

Something to spice up the flungeon maybe give a option for a natilie drop variety.

About my comment on players spamming for path clearing, I just tried one and after selecting the users to send a request to and clicking send, I was still in the screen for making the request and could start again. That is fine but the list of potential helpers isn't updated to eliminate the users you already sent requests to.

In a future update, can there be a way to permanently select a trait for a mount in a crate? Such as mana, energy or puzzle pieces?

1-This question has been asked by both beginners and some veterans of late, and that is when to use quest and event trinkets/pets, here’s how I interpreted it :

For quests like in commons and hubs and even side quests from events, quest trinkets/pets will work , the only true mini-events, quest trinkets/pets work is for the butterflies and endangered species mini events

Now, the event trinket/pets, they work for all events in getting event items like seeds, pumpkins etc

So it is best to get at least as high as you can in both for events and quests
Same goes for just doing hub/common quests etc too

2-CRAZY IDEA ALERT – for the upcoming Halloween event, we could have Nate impart his knowledge to the younger trick or treaters, on how to scare people, and they accidentally wake up a trio of witches, they will not harm you if you help them with a few quests, at the end, we will get a big cauldron to put on our ranch along with a witch head mask like the clown one


3- Here's a few items that would go good as custom items for upcoming events:

- Jr Whacker event - we got already binoculars, so let's have a camera that goes
around our neck

- Halloween - a spider hat, or even top hat with a big ol' tarantula that crawls
out of it,

- Christmas - a snowman head mask, along with a broom sword,scarf and magical top
hat

Hiya, Nick! After recently-ish getting the Crockery Set ranch item from The Blighted Basin alongside playing some home decoration games, I got an idea for a new item suggestion that could go under the Wall Hangings category: shelves! They could be sold by the Furniture Salesman on Amicus Isle, perhaps in different lengths and other sizes, and not only could you put them on your walls, but maybe certain items could also be placed on them?

This isn't the intended behavior and is on my bug list to look into when I can. Sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime!

That's right. It's on our to-do list to enable the camel mount accessories for the black and white camels. In the meantime, you can only apply them to the base camel mount. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Yes, the ability to use 5 or 10 small energy packs at a time is still on our requests list. I appreciate the reminder.

Normal bush trophies to drop in the Flungeon? I can see the appeal in also working on the base trophies while in the Flungeon, certainly. I'll note it down to consider.

This is very insightful! I'll add it to my notes on this issue, thanks!

Do you mean like to lock in a bonus of the 4 potential next level bonuses you use Feeds to change? And what do you mean by a crate?

1) I think you've got it generally correct here. The quests bonus increases the odds to find items for any quest, which includes event quests. The caveats for this are it doesn't currently work for quest spawns (like finding birds wandering fields) and select quest items (usually where you have to find 1 and it's very rare). The holiday/event bonus is for finding items you turn in at event stations for progress and tokens. So a tip could be to always have the holiday/event bonus on during an event, and only have the quest bonus when you're actively working on event quests, and some other bonus otherwise.

2) Neat Halloween quest idea! I'll note it down to consider for this upcoming or a future Halloween event.

3) Great event item suggestions! I'll note these down for Georgia to consider creating for those upcoming and future events.

Shelve wall items that you can place items on would make excellent ranch items! I'll have to see if this would require a bit of extra tech, but it might be worth it. I think this may have been suggested before hand, but I'll review and update its priority.

Hi Nick, the new barn has what I think of as crates to put the pets and mounts in but I think you refer to them as pens. I would like some way to set the bonus the mounts give. Either by giving them enough pristine feed for 40 levels in the beginning or setting up a feed area they would draw from as they do for kibble.

Ah, I see! That would be convenient. Adding the buttons and display for that might be a bit of work, but I'll note down and consider the idea all the same. Thanks!
