Age of Ash discussion

[LX Air - Teresa]

(…)
. One thing I have noticed more of in events lately is the coding for mission tasks seems to actively look for and assign tasks that take more time and (potentially) greenies to complete. For example, I have received the "Visit a Country House (x10)" at least 3-4 times so far. Every time I have received that task, it has been shortly after I collected passengers, thus begins a 4-hour refresh wait.
(…)

I think you had just “bad luck”. It’s possible that the chances of getting more difficult tasks are higher, but in my opinion, it doesn’t make sense to have those chances linked to the current state of each players game, as in the example you gave. I mean, it’s possible that getting visits to country houses has higher chances to occur than other (easier) tasks, but in no way linked to the time counter .

Im feeling the pain. Im on day 3 of trying to get Magnetite and im 0-27. Im also finding out for items you need to fly to get , if its a task they are found very seldom. If its not a task its found very never. Im trying to get heat proof gloves and I'm currently 0-64 flights using different planes and locations.

Use bonuses, like dice, bowl of riches, lucky cat, sky captain, junior pilot or somil6to increase drop rate from planes. To get the right minerals from vulcano is hard, the only way is to use the jackhammer as often as you can. I've waited several days to get right mineral, but manage the daily tasks from 400 and 180 missions.

Update got the Magnetite after 32 trips to the volcano. The gloves Im still waiting currently 0-112 flights.

Are you sure you're flying to the right destinations? Remember that there are two collections that drop for planes (one gives you Institutes of Volcanology, and the other gives you Ranger Planes). I went a day or two without the item I needed dropping - until I realized I wasn't even flying to the right destinations.

My experience is to have as many planes of the same type as possible: for example, more than five owls or other planes, and then add Captain Sky, binoculars and dice.

Update 2 got the gloves after 131 flights got another pair 3 flights later. Go figure.

Drops improve over the course of this event as the volcano grows. 🤔

The 1060 drop is impossible to earn during this event.
It took 8 days for a polyurethane matrass and now the vulcano dropped nothing at all for the next one.

Again this is a dead end event for me every time the age of ash is rubbish

 

[Scott85625]

4 possible Collections to gather. Ive got 1 and thats all I will get apparently. At least Im set up for next year maybe get 1 more in 2024.

Say what you want about the drop rates, but the closing animation is always enjoyable and well done.
