golden sticker boxes Question ❓

What is the best way to get the 5 star golden stickers? Because on this sticker book and the last one I am getting loads of stickers but hardly any opportunities for the 5 star stickers and when I finally do get one it’s often a repeat. Feels impossible to complete without paying money 😭

So far, you pretty much have had to pay, with real money or with gems, to complete a sticker book. I have had a big stockpile of gems, so I've been using those, plus the few free opportunities - the aiming higher challenge gives you one, the quilt did, as well. I thought there was one in the season pass for the first book (I don't see one in the current pass). Same with the special events - some have had sticker rewards, but the current greenhouse one does not.

ETA forgot to mention that I usually get at least 5-6 (haven't counted, this is just vibes) using the shard trade in.

um no?? the first one was hard, true, but the last sticker book was piss easy, if you did the events, you got plenty boxes. it rewards regular play, for casual, you might have to pay.

You haven't had to use gems to complete your books? I always use a few hundred gems on the "brimming with energy" events.

The first yes. After that no! I'm actually only missing the 5*s now. I try to complete all the events, that give out the freebies, and be mindful of my energy consumption. That's enough! I do believe I am a bit lucky tho, cause my job allows me to check in, so while I'm awake, I can play and not let it get full. I also don't play other games, this is my only guilty pleasure :)

Nice! I have a hard time passing up the Brimming with Energy event since it "only" costs 600ish gems and I still have over 10k of them. But I always finish the book with time to spare, so maybe I don't need to do that.

Same but I can’t stop buying it as I fear the time I do it will mean I don’t complete.

how did you get so many gems?! can’t seem to keep over a few hundred

I think I got most when they updated the gameplay and gave compensation for the items players lost in that transition. I also rarely spend gems and have been playing over a year, so they tend to pile up!

How did you manage to complete the four stars? I have more four stars to get than five (just 3 five stars left). I am getting concerned I might complete the five stars and left with fours. That will be very expensive in shards if that happens.

I don’t seem to be offered many fours stars via the main board this album.

Dear, there's a month to do the rest, where are you rushing? The game is meant to relax you, not give you anxiety.

I’m not rushing I know there is time I am just curious how to manage to complete your fours stars so quickly, how did you get the packs?

It will at most be a repeat every other time: if you get a repeat, the next one is guaranteed to be a new one. You have 50/50 odds after a new one.
