Farmville Helpers

Saturday, 8 October 2011

It's finally here! Now you can stuff a B-jaillion more stuff (well not a B-jillion, but you get the point) in your gift box!!! With this new expansion, you can now have up to 500 unique items and 5,000 items total!!!

PREVIOUS GIFT BOX INFORMATION

Old limit was 500 items total
If a player reaches the 500 limit and gets 1 more item, the game triggers an eviction process. If that 1 more item is considered rare, it will force a non-rare item to be deleted from the gift box.

NEW GIFT BOX EXPANSION INFORMATION

What's the difference between total items and unique items?
Total items are the complete number items you can hold in your gift box. Previously, it used to be 500 items. Unique items are the number of different items found in the gift box.

New total items limit is 5,000
New total unique items is 500

For example, let's you have the following in your gift box:

1,000 Stones
1,000 Bricks
1,000 Special Delivery Boxes
1,000 Planks
1,000 Logs

That means that you have 5 unique items and 5,000 total items. This also means that you have hit your total items limit.
What happens if you hit your 5,000 total limit?

If a user reaches their 5,000 total item limit and gets 1 more item, the game triggers an eviction process (similar the previous way). If that new item is considered rare, it will force a non-rare item to be deleted from the gift box.

Let's use an Unwither Ring as an example. Pretend you have 5,000 Special Delivery Boxes and you just bought an Unwither Ring. Since this Ring is considered rare, and you have 5,000 SDB (which are not rare), the Unwither Ring will replace 1 Special Delivery Box. In the end, you will have 1 Ring and 4,999 SDBs.

What happens if you hit your 500 unique limit?

If a user reaches their 500 unique limit and gets 1 more unique item, the game triggers an eviction process (similar to the previous way). If that new item is considered rare, it will force a non-rare item AND the total number of that particular non-rare item to be deleted from the gift box.

For example, imagine you have 500 unique (different) items already and you just bought a Platinum Mastery Statue. Since Platinum Mastery Statues are considered rare, it will replace 1 non-rare unique item.

Now let us consider that out of the 500 other unique items, you have 499 rare unique items already and Special Delivery Boxes, but you have 1,000 Special Delivery Boxes. Since Platinum Mastery Statues are rare, the game will force a non-rare item out of the gift box. In this case, the Special Delivery Boxes, ALL 1,000 SPECIAL DELIVERY BOXES WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE GIFT BOX.

This means you will have 500 unique items (the maximum unique limit) and no Special Delivery Boxes.

WHAT IS CONSIDERED RARE AND NON-RARE / WHAT WILL BE FORCED OUT OF THE GIFT BOX IF YOU HIT THE LIMIT?

If you have reached your limits, the game will evict items in this order starting from non-rare to rare.

Gift-able items, coin price items (SDBs, seedlings, watering cans)
Non-consumable, non-LE coin items (haybales, fences)
LE coin items (themed coin decorations)
Consumable LE items (Captiol One Quick Grow) WILL NEVER BE EVICTED
Non-consumable cash items (Unwither Ring, Platinum Mastery Statue) WILL NEVER BE EVICTED
Consumable cash items (Fuel, Love potions) WILL NEVER BE EVICTED

*Disclaimer: These examples are not the all inclusive list.

So if your gift box has a lot of items, please be aware of the new limits and plan accordingly. We hope you farmers enjoy the new Gift box Expansion.
