Are the festive DIY spawn rates way higher today?

[elphieluvr]

It's probably just good luck that you got THAT high of a rate (1 out of every 2 when the previous rate was datamined at around 1 out of 10) but it would be nice if they upped the rate just a little bit. You get 12 balloons per hour max, so an average of 1 diy per hour when you are actively patrolling for balloons is honestly really horrible if they want completion to be possible.

Oh no i mean the pile of gifts not the actual paper gift, sorry for my bad explanation hahah

This says you get it from Jingle after delivering at least half of the gifts

Hi, I have a question for everyone here I want to check if my theory is right for the seasonal recipes. The people who are getting a lot of recipes did you craft the wreath Isabelle gave out?

I find that the more you craft the recipes the more common getting more becomes. This has been a common thing for me for all the autumn and winter recipes. I had a hard time getting the acorn and pinecone ones until I crafted the wreath. Same thing for the mushroom. Took 1 week to start getting the mushrooms, and I only got my first one after I crafted the wreath.

Now with both the snowflake and festive I got them both pretty quickly. 2 days for the snowflakes and 3 days for the festive and I don't play for long either.

So I'm wondering if this is the same for everyone.

I dont know about that. But I tend to have better luck when I don't intentionally set out to farm them. For example tried several hours one morning nothing got bacl on that afternoon shot random baloon sailing by got a festive DIY. I decided I would just relax and get them as they come abd obly worry about farmibg baloons the last week of the season.

I still don’t have the recipe for the snowflake wreath on my main island so I can’t craft it even if I wanted to. I never crafted the mush wreath though and I was able to get all the recipes from that series.

i have been having bad luck with the DIYs, i got 1 mush one and a couple of the fall ones, and so far i've only gotten the falling-snow wall! hopefully it'll pick up a bit - might have to put a little more time into trying to get presents.

 

[Insulaire]

Y’all, I hopped back on for like an hour and got all of the remaining snowflake DIYs I needed but one, and that’s only because I wanted to save SOMETHING for between now and March to look forward to catching so I stopped popping balloons. I sincerely wish that whatever RNG anomaly I was gifted today befalls the rest of you

Because of a Campsite visitor on Tuesday, I didn't get the wreath from Isabelle (ended up shooting it down Tuesday evening). I also didn't really start crafting any of the set until I got all the Illuminated recipes.

I think it must be sentient...
Ages ago, I was talking with a friend and I said that I needed a Black Double Sofa.

What did I get in the (no joke) next Balloon?...
I got a Black Double Sofa...

Yesterday I was on another thread where people were discussing the ironwood kitchenette, and I mentioned the open-frame kitchen as a good option for those who are sick of the ironwood kitchen.

Guess what was at the third slot at the Nook's today?

 

[Serabee]

...Considering I haven't found a single one today, I can't imagine they are.

It's all down to luck, and it sounds like you have all of it today

I kid you not I just popped a balloon with a 1k bell bag. Is this game sentient now??

This game feels like it reads your mind sometimes. I keep making jokes about my character constantly needing hammocks because he loses them, and I kid you not on one of my first few nights of having Evwirt I got 2 hammocks back to back from balloons. I also got a hammock in my Nook’s Cranny on one of the first days it was opening and I’ve shaken at least one out of a tree. It’s like it wanted Matty to be comfortable settling into this new island lol

As for DIY luck, I got my DIYs a while back. It does feel like some days are luckier than others, though. I spent a ton of time looking for the illuminated reindeer and festive tree set and I managed to get most every other piece extremely quickly lol

 

[Insulaire]

I just started playing and the first balloon I popped was the only remaining DIY I needed. Truly I have been blessed

 

[Pintuition]

Teach me your ways! It's been two days and I haven't shot down a single DIY. The day before that I got snow season doubles! At this rate there's not a chance I'll finish unless my luck gets reversed!

 

[moonchu]

i'm so X_________x !!!!!!!! i've been haphazardly shooting down balloons and i haven't gotten ANY DIYs. tbh i don't think i'm gonna get any at this rate TT^TT

 

[Insulaire]

If it makes you all feel better, my inability to make a perfect snowman more than makes up for whatever luck I’ve gained via the balloons!!

 

[amemome]

I wish this were me so bad!!! I just popped three balloons and they were all materials/furniture

 

[Bekaa]

I have gotten absolutely no presents from the sky today. Where have they gone!

 

[maria110]

Spawn rates haven't been good for me lately at all. I had good luck with the mush recipes, and eventually got them all, but I haven't had much time to play lately and when I have, zero recipes have dropped.

 

[Snek]

I've gotten all the festive DIYs for one of my player characters. Today I finally got the big festive tree that I really needed. Its just a lot of patience and knowing when the balloons spawn.
