Volcano Quest Odds
61 Posts	Link to post - Posted December 27th 2011 at 5:58 AM Last Edited December 27th 2011 at 5:58 AM Nick DiCeglie I'm pretty sure this question/gripe was discussed before but I can't find it. It seems like the Volcano Quest bananas are nearly impossible to get. I've collected all of the Tier bananas from all stages of Volcano but was left with extra quest items to collect. That never happened before. I spent 6000 hammers over the last few days and only got 2 quest items for one of the sets. Any strategies for boosting the odds? Or are the odds off because of the holiday events? I love the game but going for quest items only is kind of getting on my nerves.

When I don't have much time, or I am out of area tokens, I'll go back to an earlier stage and monkey break those levels. I actually have all the quests complete for all the areas that I have all other bananas. This game play works very well with my normal strategy. For a while I had 4-5 quest areas to finish. And I'll admit it was very depressing looking at them. I'm glad that they are done now. Everyone I know has the same problem you have. I don't know why the devs programmed it this way, probably to make the levels last longer. The thing is.... every time the devs release a new level, it is a little different from previous levels. So, I always adjust my game play to match. I hope you can find a way to incorporate this into your game play so that it is a little bit easier to handle. Best of luck to you.

I contacted devs about this and they told me that the odds have never changed since the beginning og the game. So my brother who is playing eb2 figured out that, Completing the tiers fast where you can use multipliers (eg. 2200 items to collect) it helps you to complete and reach the end of the stage faster, but since the odds for the last banana never change you end up with this last one. So my suggestion is to use small amounts of multipliers, or none, while on the "high-quantity item" tiers. Of course this will not effect the completion time of a stage. The only advantage is you will complete all tiersof the stage almost at the same time you get the last banana.

I have never NOT finished collecting these items before finishing the last tier/getting the last banana of a level. However, for level 1 I only had 49/87 items collected, and 55/87 items level 2. If the odds of winning these items haven't changed....I don't know what's up.

I've gone through most of the quests now but I still have almost 40 items left to collect in Level 3 (my last one). I think I've spent over 400 stars today as well and only won 2 or 3 of them.
