Once you get all your common prizes and finish the quest line, the rate of boxes really slows down. You need almost twice as many eggs (turning them in 100:50 with friends), and you don’t get any more baskets for your friends to fill unless you’re lucky enough to get the Fabrege egg (which I’m not). I opened an uncommon box last night, which gave me 300 golden eggs, which let me open a golden box… for the Easter Gate. Oh well, at least it looks nice in the middle of my fence. I’m hoping I can manage to continue at least 1 uncommon box a day without the baskets. When does this end again? ---

I know this is a dumb question, but how do you know when the quests for easter are completely over? I know I am not finished (I recently planted my carrots finally and harvested them for the first time yesterday… I know I am behind). What is the last task for the easter event? Thanks. ---

Not being about to get baskets is ridiculous. Desperately hoping for the Faberge egg so I can get some baskets again and maybe stand a chance of getting one or two prizes. ---

I just got the Faberge egg. I don’t know if there is a max amount of rabbits to click and one gets handed to you or if I just got lucky. ---

No new characters, no buildings, just egg piles, umbrellas and fences. ☹ I did get a Faberge egg. Is it anything but decorative? ---

> [@Skammer](#): > > When does this end again? I believe the 15th and the 9th is when we can buy gold eggs with donuts (rumor on that part). I hate event extensions, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we got one. SOMETHING has to give because everyone is having major problems. > [@Fiendish\_Astronaut](#): > > Not being about to get baskets is ridiculous. Desperately hoping for the Faberge egg so I can get some baskets again and maybe stand a chance of getting one or two prizes. I got my egg and I don’t get many baskets. It’s all luck, and my basket luck is all over the place. I didn’t get any for days and days, then a bunch, then rare again, then a bunch, then rare. I’m not really working the level 40 quest, but having to use one of the only egg-collecting characters in it? Just ridiculous. If I get no more prizes, I won’t be upset. It’s not like the Yeti or the Mall. I just hate grinding for nothing. I am on track to collect one single box today. ---

I just got the Fabergé egg. Hopefully I can get some baskets again. I have lots of pink ones, but could use some blues. Back to grinding out for blue and gold egg prizes. 😃 ---

> [@D\_Odds](#): > > I got 3 baskets before beginning the Faberge egg hunt. The Faberge egg can’t be any harder to find. Same here, grand total of 3. I haven’t gotten to the Faberge part of the quest yet, and haven’t seen a basket in days. I’d be really happy if I got out of this thing with one new building or character. But that’s not looking likely. ---

I just have to say that zapping the pile of bunnies that come from the carrot crop is quite enjoyable. 😃 ---

> [@Antigen](#): > > I grow carrots and don’t get bunnies when I harvest. Am I doing something wrong? You won’t get bunnies if your town is already full of bunnies. If you clear your town of bunnies first, harvesting carrots should cause a batch of them to appear next to the farm. Now that most people have finished the quests and are not getting new baskets, it’s getting harder to find friends I can trade with to convert my commons into uncommons. Disappointingly my last golden egg box contained more fences, but I’m still worried I’m not going to hit 50 before the end of the event. ---

I don’t know why it never occurred to me that this place would be a better resource for figuring out what the hell is going on in this game than the various wikis, which are nice but hardly dynamic. I’m **aenigmatite** , if you’re looking for friends. ---

Honestly, it’s really not. There are about 3 or 4 websites that have all sorts of useful up-to-date info. This thread is not one of them.
