Snatchin Merchant

I need zodiac shards. Snatchin merchant isn't popping up, and realized I haven't seen him in awhile. Had anyone seen him, or knows if he's around. Wow the chat is really dead on MMUFF.

I put in a Ticket about this last week. I received a response today.

"It is the game feature that frequency of Snatchin Merchant appearing is changing from time to time. Keep continue playing and you will get success!"

So, it too, will be random!

If it helps, I have been having success banishing gypsies for shards.  You also get coins, and experience.  If you are lucky the chest might cough up a few shards. My biggest gripe is the dismal drop rate for keys. More monster quests and fewer opportunities to find the required items.

That's a slow process, banishing gypsies for shards, when it takes 50 to explore a room one time. And you definitely do not get a shard every time u banish a gypsy. I do appreciate you sharing that though. I would gladly just leave the room unexplored, but I'm needing it for the contest quest to get the dogs. Sigh.

Good luck Poppy. Gave up on contests myself. Found I was using too many items that I would need later. Sigh..if you want to friend me I can send an extra Dog. Have lots.

They won't let u senda dog until contest is over. I tried. They have their bases covered as always. I think I'll just give up on the contests too, I like that idea, thanks!

Need to pick contests wisely. I did the snow doll one and used every last saber only to find that I need 15 for next stage of Saturn room! And guess what, they not dropping! I wonder if people will get bored with these contests? Surely their collections will deplete and won't have weapons to do the thousands needed to win. Will be interesting in a week to see if it'll be easier win.

It's possible they'll be easier to win later, but I doubt it. We'll see. I gave up for now. Not willing to deplete my weapons. I think the contests would be better if you could see more of where u are at.
And what's up with the room exploration? Mine all say explored, duh. But am I supposed to explore it like a zillion times to try and win something? I don't get that part at all.

Yes, in the contests for room explorations, mine also say Explored and do not show how many I explored. I put in a ticket and got response."Our engineers have been informed and are taking necessary measures to troubleshoot the problem. Anticipating your question on the time when the issue is completely resolved I would like to let you know that it is expected to be eliminated in the upcoming update. Fixing the issue is in the process, and it might take us some time to test the new version and make it available for you."
Time will tell!
