Lief event part 2

[That Marshal Fangirl]

Ok, these catch rates are DISMAL. I'm basically catching roughly 30-40% of the ladybugs that spawn, which isn't that many to begin with. This is ridiculous. Why was the gothic rose event so much easier?! I don't understand, Nintendo.

I just find it interested how my friend shared a purple and navy ladybug twice and I got them both times one after the other but after that nope...

 

[shunishu]

ok nevermind .. just remembered I had tons of flower food from the previous events that I've never used up, which definitely gave me a kickstart and added some more active players that were almost done from reddit and I'm slowly but surely getting there..

Seriously? Filled up my entire garden, pulled up hybrids I was planning to use for decoration and out of 20 I spawn 11, and out of those I only caught like 5. What...

Also, isn't the navy bug supposed to be harder to catch because it's 3 stars?? Why have I caught like 4 of those but zero of the purple one. :think:

 

[Biyaya]

For some reason, I have more navy than purple. I don't know why.
But they both are a struggle. I hardly have either of them. I have literally one purple and seven navy.

They're probably playing around, trying to find the perfect rates for it to be challenging but not too difficult..?
They haven't found it yet.

I didn't struggle with Lotti's Garden Event, but I'm struggling with this one.

Day one isn't over yet and I'm up to 35 purple and 17 navy ladybugs.

I don't think the spawn and catch rates are any different than the last two events (Lottie and Rover) and I completed those with plenty of time to spare so I'm confident.

You seem to get very lucky with these events. I barely have any of the rare ladybugs. :/

 

[Xyla]

The rates are okay I think. Usually get abt 5 purple/dark purple buggies from every 20 flowers planted. BUT I feel guilty bc especially one friend keeps sharing so many with me since the start of the event but never has any flowers up for me to return the favour! Kir! If u read this let me share with uuu lol. I?m literally abt to start camping out in ur garden to catch the flowers before u do xD

The key is to have a few friends that you can trade back and forth with.

Say you have 10 bugs, you share them and they catch 6 of them, they share back to you and you catch 3, you share back and they catch 1. So out of the original 10, there are an additional 10 catches, doubling the yield.

 

[Vizionari]

I'm having horrible catch rates right now :/ Now I'm really worried that I'm not going to able to get all the items I want considering I haven't even finished the first half of the event yet...

 

[shunishu]

did you notice that there's ladybugs hidden on flowers in the spring backgrounds?

Spoiler: see here

 

[wenom]

@shunishu; cute pictures! :3
yeah! they're super cute!! :3 i hope
different backgrounds will have little
hidden secrets like this one, too!

Spoiler

I think this is quite representative of
how the second half of this event is
going for a lot of people :/​

 

[NiamhACPC]

Yeah, I don't normally grouse but the spawn and catch rates are ridiculous. I'm doubtful I'll get the swing and terrain pieces even though I've been playing regularly.

And I *really* need people to stop sharing old bugs with me. If I plant pink flowers, don't share ladybugs from the clovers or yellow flowers! Takes up all the space for the people who do share the new bugs with me. I'm honestly about to block someone (not from this forum!) who keeps doing this.

 

[That Marshal Fangirl]

Day two of the second half and things aren't looking so good. I literally only want the swing and the flower terrain. This is so disappointing...

 

[Bcat]

^Same. I mainly just want the swing and the background. Somehow, i actually met the goal for the purple ladybugs today!
But my catch rate for the navy bugs isn’t very good at all. Hopefully I can get them without spending any leaf tickets.
I’m still salty I bought the flower background with tickets before this event started. I would’ve been able to buy Celeste by now if I hadn’t done that.

 

[Ashariel]

I don't think the catch rate is to bad I finished the event this morning without flower food or leaf tickets it's possible just keep trying!!

 

[Chewy.7204]

I got 2 navy and 8 purple but then I caught all the purple ones and failed all of the Navy ones.

 

[punctuallyAbsent]

i finished the second half late last night without using flower food or tickets. granted, i had a friend and we would swap back and forth every time we caught any until they were gone, rinse, repeat. it added up pretty fast!
these events are kind of ridiculous spawn rate wise but if you work with a friend and juggle the critters between the two of you, it's a breeze.

the only thing i'm worried about is getting enough flowers to exchange for the extra items. 40 for a stepping stone? what the hell, nintendo?

 

[Angel-Rae]

My spawn and catch rates are as bad as the butterfly event. Stress levels are high. I’m using leaf tickets. Not enjoying it st all.
