Winter solstice - Farming pink presents for coins exchange.

ElveElve · Dec 8, 2016

Hey folks, does anyone know best way to farm pink presents for the coins exchange quest ? I farm all day and can only ramp up to staggering one exchange per day.

Can anyone tell me, who is actively farming pink presents, what is your best way to farm them ?

Thank you for replies!

Don't do it, as you'll never pull it off. Farm krampus in mini 2 for coins with a good group.

One word... "Don't"

You will regret it. That is millions of glyphs that you'd be missing out on for only marginal gains from the big present contents. Furthermore, the drop rates of purple presents is so low that you will never achieve it. You would need to get 50+ coins for that quest for it to be anywhere near worth farming for.

As Nova said, farm the Krampus events. The first iteration only gives 1 coin per run, so you shouldn't waste time farming that one beyond finishing the progress bar. The second one gives 5, so if you have spare time after the mini is complete, it would be beneficial to farm a bit of a buffer, but the real money maker is the final one where you get 10 per run. Then it is all about speed runs with blues and even still, you will need 20-25 hours of farming to finish up getting 1500.

Here is the math from last year:

TL;DR- A strong player will take about 50-55 hours of mini event farming (between the three minis) to get the big present. A player who can't speed run the final challenge doesn't stand a chance.

People don't do math. Well, I finally did it for everyone.

Challenge 1: 2000 Progress to finish.
You get 48 progress and 1 coin per run.
This means you need 42 runs to finish the challenge.
If you can run to the map, get through the map, and save the kids in 10 min, then you will need about 7 (maybe as much as 8) hours to finish. The first mini event lasts 48 hours, so you need to be farming for roughly 14.6% of the time available or if you sleep 12 hours a day, about 30% of your awake time.
At the end of this challenge (because of the 10 from the progress bar) you'll be 52/1500 for the gift.

Challenge 2: 2700 Progress to finish
You get 84 progress and 5 coins per run.
This means that you need 33 runs to finish the challenge.
If you can run to the map, get through the map, and save the kids in 15 min, then you will need about 8:15 (maybe as much as 9) hours to finish. The second mini event lasts 72 hours, so you need to be farming for roughly 12.5% of the time available or if you sleep 12 hours a day, about 25% of your awake time.
At the end of this challenge (because of the 15 from the progress bar) you'll be at 232/1500 for the gift.

Challenge 3: 3300 Progress to finish
You get 132 progress and 10 coins per run.
This means that you need 25 runs to finish the challenge.
If you can run to the map, get through the map, and save the kids in 20 min, then you will need about 8:20 (maybe as much as 9) hours to finish. The final mini event lasts 120 hours, so you need to be farming for roughly 7.5% of the time avaliable or if you sleep 12 hours a day, about 15% of your awake time.
At the end of this challenge (because of the 25 from the progress bar) you'll be at 507/1500 for the gift.

From there, you will need an additional 100 runs to finish the 1500 for the box.
If you can do each of those runs in 15 min (because you don't have to go back for the kids), it will take you another 25 hours.
This means a total farm time in the last event of about 34 hours. If the box is your goal, then you need to be farming for roughly 28.3% of the time available or if you sleep 12 hours a day, about 56% of your awake time.
After spending a total of about 51-55 hours, you will have 1500/1500 and what ever the contents of that box are... better be good.

In short, the mini events are doable with a moderate amount of farming, but if you want the big box, be prepared to farm like crazy in the last mini event.
