10 sleighs and 5 skating rinks.. which i cannot build because i do not have the items to build them because i cannot fly to the 5 continents because i do not have the needed gifts because i cannot fly to lapland because im not getting stardust from the elves.
even the drop rates from lanterns i bought from the store are waaaay low!!
 
I am still lacking an Artificial Ice from Africa to complete the Skating Rink!!!
This is despite buying 2 Santa's Chests and vapourizing so many Old Lanterns gifted by my neighbours.
Used Spy Glass & Dice too to enhance drop rates, but no Artificial ice!!

Already completed the Cold Winter collection, but did not collect it due to warnings that flights will disappear.
But maybe my patience will disappear first!!
 
I have just completed my first 100 trips delivering gifts. I flew 20 of each (Africa, Eurasia, N America, S America, Australia). From this I received the following:
11 Oranaments (2 Africa, 3 Australia, 0 Eurasia, 1 N America, 5 S America)
8 Building Items (3 Snowmaker, 2 Freezer, 2 Liquid Nitrogen, 1 Artificial Ice)

So the drop rate overall is about 1 in 5. The difficulty comes in completing the buildings. You need a total of 20 items to build the four buildings:
Ice Castle needs 1x Liquid Nitrogen,1x Freezer, 2x Snowmaker, 1x Artificial Ice
Ice Sculpture Park needs 2x Liquid Nitrogen, 1x Freezer, 1x Refrigerator, 1x Artificial Ice

Skating Rink needs 1x Freezer, 1x Snowmaker, 1x Refrigerator, 2x Artificial Ice
Igloo needs 1x Liquid Nitrogen, 1x Freezer, 1x Snowmaker, 2x Refrigerator

This will mostly likely take at least 200 flights to accomplish. The poor drop rates of the star dust and gifts has already been discussed, so getting the 200 necessary is rather difficult without spending greens. I personally grabbed a few packs of the 20 star dust/20 old lanterns when they were on sale. Without that, I don't know how good my chances would have been of getting all of the building items.

Yes it's a terrible challenge mainly because of the drop rates and the greens required to complete it - 8 greens for one item? HAHAHAHAAHHAH x 100,000,000,000. Remember the days when it was 1 green per item to complete buildings? However I used a Spy Glass today and the first drop let me finish the igloo/santa's house collection so that alone made it worth it. Hope I can finish the buildings though!

sgabor, as soon as you get to 7 hearts you may have the problem I'm having.

When I had six hearts I could visit 9 people (I'm guessing 3 free visits and one for each heart). So I obviously expected to visit 10 people when I got to 7 hearts.

Nope, I can now visit 5 people. This has been going on for a week already. I got nothing from GI support yet.
OK, now same problem i have also...
7 hearts, and i can visit 5 neighbours per day only :(
Writing to GI, and assuming what will be the answer. :censored:

i think i noticed this as well before.. but it increased in the next days.. at first it started at 5 visits then after a few days it was 6, then 7 and so on.. kind of annoying actually.. at level 8, it's been 11 visits from day 1..

Ok, today i was able to visit 6 neighbours. Maybe it will increase in next days, so hope i can visit 9-10 / day.
6x5 = 30 chances --> Got 11 Old Lanterns --> From those lanterns got 4 Star Dust + 1 Wooden Sleight + 1 Helicopter Blades + 1 Sock with Gifts + 1 Ch.Cap. Not so bad this time. :whistle:
 
I gathered lanterns for a few days and ran through them tonight....here's the stats:
200 Old Lanterns produced:
43 Star Dusts
30 Faster Than the Wind Items (6 Sleighs, 5 Blades, 8 Turbines, 4 Chairs, 7 Controls)
23 Christmas Elves Items (9 Caps, 6 Socks, 2 Bells, 1 Candy, 5 Lists)

I then flew the 43 trips to Lapland using a Spyglass:
55 Gifts (11 Africa, 14 N America, 12 S America, 8 Eurasia, 10 Australia)
20 Forgetful Santa Items (4 Boots, 4 Hats, 6 Mittens, 4 Sodas, 2 Glasses)

So, 200 lanterns became 55 gifts, but this is largely due to the use of the Spyglass. Based on my previous analysis of flights to the continents (earlier in this thread), this will only equate to 5 or 6 build items (based on not using a Spyglass for those flights). They sure made this one tough compared to other events.
