So frustrated by the rewards on these.

  1. It’s harder to get past 1 star than previous events I’ve done. Even with 2-3 people, I’m getting 1 star on most normal HW mushrooms

  2. and then, all I’m getting is Halloween candy from boxes. I got a couple of Pikmin early on, which was awesome, but now it’s just 50 candy. And I need to collect thousands! It’s a drop in the bucket.

  3. I don’t even want the devil tail. I thought candy was going to be like points we could spend at a costume store, but no. It’s mission driven and there’s no way I will ever get the cat ears, the one item I want.

I wish there were more Pikmin from boxes. It just feels like I’m investing a lot of effort for very little gain. They barely ever come up as a reward for the stage challenges, either. Thinking it was a lucky fluke that I ever got a complete Mahjongg set.

    If you’ll friend invite me, I can invite you to a Mystery Mushroom or two as a plus 1 on a “brute squad.”

    My details are in the friend thread.

    I hit mystery mushrooms with over 20k and most other invitees hit with 8k plus. One person is approaching or over 12k. (I saved my 40 from last year which helped me build this year).

      Thanks, I’ll look for that thread. I take them at around 10k I think now, around 2 hours to beat a regular mystery mushroom. I’m actually getting close on Halloween Pikmin sets but that candy gimmick is so annoying. In game name is dognewtricks.

    The seedlings are definitely more rare this time around, but it’s also a really long event. It seemed like seedlings were more common in the giant mushrooms, and candy amounts were definitely much higher. Halloween mushrooms are also much more rare than the mahjongg mystery mushrooms were.

    Overall, this event seems to require more planning to optimize, and I badly flubbed on that at several points. Still plenty of time to get the full set of pikmin, but IDK about the costumes.

    Loving my new tuxedo, though.
