Is anyone else not getting their progress updated? Mine's still showing zero,
Diverse Santa is showing zero too.

I assume when it's complete it will show something.
My number of presents for that Achievement shows 0/200 but I have 50 for one Elf plus 28 for the other Elf and 0 for the currently non-existing elfs.

Hi Dave,

The same is true for me. My progress updated along the way with the first 50 gifts (so I knew how many I'd achieved) but, once that first achievement was completed, nothing has updated for the "Expert Elf Helper" (nor "Diverse Santa"). Perhaps it's a glitch; not sure...

These are both just display issues. You progress is getting updated, and once you qualify for the achievements they will be awarded.

I hope you're still around Justin, having a wee problem I think. The reindeer girl at the North Pole has a yellow ! over her head and when you talk to her she just talks about the reindeer and the cold. Yesterday when I talked to her she wanted me to find her reindeer. Is this a glitch? Please help, thanx!

it has not been 20 hours since I last caught the reindeer so I am absolutely not concerned in the least bit about the fact that there is a premature exclamation point above my reindeer girl. the quest will be available when it is available like it had been once before already.

Hi Debbie,

Once the 20-hour period passes you'll be able to do the reindeer quest again and the girl will give a different message.

Is there something that lets us know when we reach 50 on each specific elf?

Seriously count the presents? I think I can count 37, but have no idea if I've counted them all. It looks like there are 3 layers, but I really don't know.

And I think I have 39 on the white elf stack.

the bottom layer is at most 5x5 = 25
the second layer is at most 4x4 = 16
the third layer is at most 3x3 = 9 but it is missing one spot on both my Elfs
the 4'th layer should be 2x2 = 4 but I only have a single 1 there making the 50'th
my 2 piles are identical.

Thank you Raymond. That helps. So the MOST you can have in a pile is 55.

no, I'm assuming that most people stop at 50 or near that. I think that if you were swimming in candy canes you could make a pile bigger and bigger...

Oh, when you said the bottom layer is "at most" I thought that was literal.

When you have reached 50 gifts and keep going, a gift box appears in the quest box telling you which elf you have completed the 50 gifts for. It does it for all 4 so no need to try counting them. As an afterthought, none of my gift piles are the same size.

I can't figure out the gift piles either. The last thing I need on this quest is the 50 presents per elf, but I don't know which elf to give presents to. I THINK I gave one 50, but can't be sure. Has there been any update as to how we can find out how many we need for each elf?

Hi Xyphir. The only way I know of is like I posted above. When you get 50 made a present will pop up in the quest box (top right hand side of page) saying something like "you have completed the quest for the red elf" (or whatever elf you're on)so I just continued offering candy canes to one elf at a time until I got the message, then started with another. Either that or wait til you have 500 canes for each one, 2000 total.Sounds like a lot but doable. Good luck.:)

there are four elfs.
every elf is supposed to have a pile if you expect to get that achievement.
if you keep giving presents to one elf, his pile will stop getting bigger when there are 25+16+9+4+1=55 presents in it.
for the achievement you only need 50 in each pile, so stop giving that elf anything and go to another one..
