Apparently I don't keep detailed records. Who knew, right 😉

I did follow leaderboards closely in last 3 events and have snapshots of final results of me and my friends (prizes have been known to get lost so I wanted to have a proof in case any of us needs it). Because of that, I don't really have the exact number of points that was required to end up placed in the leaderboard.

I think it is important to note that this is a leaderboard of scores, not people, so for example, if 2 or more people share the same score, they will take only 1 place on the leaderboard meaning all this is luck.

I don't know how many points are required to be in the top spot. I also don't know what is in the gold chest. I would hope unlimited energy and tools for a month or at least a week 😁

To win a silver chest, you need to be in top 50. I won it in the last event and it contained:



I think you know what are most of the things inside. Gargoyle might not be very common:



In Pottery event, my friend in place 46 had 924 points. In Flower event, I was place 48 with 915 points. On this event that is just finished, friend in place 49 had 930 points.

I think this shows that 950 points should place one in top 50.

To win a bronze chest, you need to be in top 200.

Contents are:

In Pottery event, friend in place 196 had 540 points. In Flower event, friend in place 199 had 525 points. In the just finished event, friend in place 181 had 571 points and friend in place 206 had 530 so no idea really how many required for place 200 😳

Thanks to my messy last record, hard to draw some conclusions from this... Possibly you need to aim for 550 to be in the top 200?

Now, the averages based on my (incomplete) data sets.

The calculations are as follows: - number of banished thingamajigs: number of (points/15)*6, round up. Or, to put it differently, points*2/5, rounded up. - number of plays: 350 + 4*percentage of expert.

Average: number of plays/number of thingamajigs.

I didn't keep records for Flower shop since I saw that I reached expert and 10% of Expert at the same moment as in Pottery. I usually reach expert with 510 points. That is 204 banished lowly critters. I typically snoop around maps of my friends to see whether somebody is placed higher but is still green (and ask about strategy ahem) or lower but black. So far, only 2 players were green and had more points than my expert so I can't say that is too bad.

Average for pottery and flower when I reach expert is 204/350=0.583

I had 574 points on 10% pottery. Average 230/390=0.589 And ended up with 650 points on 25% Pottery. Average 260/450=0.578.

Percentage changes slightly, but it looks sth like 0.58?

Style of play is bulk play, bulk cash in. No talismans in Pottery and talismans in Flower. Which is how I concluded talismans were not a way forward.

Last event: started playing in bulk and later (since mid expert) started playing and cashing in in batches of 10. Started having notes late, and stayed late in the interest of science. Here are the results: 40% expert 766 points average 307/510=0.602 45% expert 799 points average 320/530=0.604 50% expert 829 points average 332/550=0.604 55% expert 855 points average 342/570=0.6

Looks like second strategy is marginally better (2% to be precise). Alternatively, mytona could have tweaked something on their side.

Would be nice if other people shared their data so we can compare notes, evaluate strategy etc.
