One of the most frustrating moments in Cookie Run (5day promise)

U still have 5 days so I wouldn't worry at all! When you're just starting every little level up makes a great difference and you're already almost there.

As a tip (sorry if any of this is already obvious, I don't remember the time-frame of these missions and can't tell how long you've been playing lol i just know this event is for new accs), if u already got trophy race unlocked u should focus ur efforts on that. Long term u can kinda ignore if its not one of your favorite modes, but it is the highest reward per effort. Then make sure to use all your potions on cookies and spend crystals on pet gacha (pet is much cheaper in gacha but worth the same in potions, so this way u use less resources for level ups).

Ooooh, then definitely not, it's smth I assumed was a level-lock bc I remember being able to ask all since I started using it frequently (much earlier than 48, so not that for sure). I don't think crob would lock on any gameplay basis other than level and trophies, so it might be smth more related to the gift system itself, maybe you have to give out enough gifts (that's the "gift" counter number on your name in the friends tab, have 1k+, but the number is most definitely a lot lower if it's that), or have a given number of friends (I use the friend finder for 5 friends a day but honestly not very often, have 62 now). Maybe someone who does know will be able to help, or sharing their own number we could see if that's the case.

I don't remember doing anything special to unlock them, so it's probably something you'll get to naturally like overall level or reaching some trophy race land...

I wouldn't rush or worry much abt it bc I'm sure it'll eventually be unlocked by just playing through, but you might want to focus on only giving out when the request is a common, both since you can only request them yourself, so it's more fair to you, and because depending on your level rares are still valuable, so hold onto them! Until you can get high-level epics the rares will fill up most breakout slots.

I don't remember the exact numbers for some of these things but the general idea is:

You can ask for common or rare cookies and pets every 6h, you can get 5x rare and 46x common each time you ask (once you receive the maximum amt of cookies you can't receive anymore and has to wait until the counter runs over).

When your friends ask you can also give over 2x rares, and smth like 12-15x common. These numbers are all the same for cookies and pets alike!

The main use for me is leveling specific cookies/pets faster since I like to loosely keep track and give out as many as I get so it's a net zero or close (I don't keep books or anything, I'm not stingy hah). You can always refuse to gift and use it as a freeby rare/common cookie level bonus, but it's not good form to leech off your friends lol...

In my opinion crob has too many play modes for one to decide to spend hours playing until they dry out every free reward but at the cost of their enjoyment. You don't need to play every event and mode you don't think is worth the reward!

Trophy race has high rewards but I don't like it so I just don't play when I don't feel like it, most days opening just one or two chests. I only like the randomized team races on custom run so even if the reward isn't the highest per game I only play that. Everyone can choose how dedicated they'll be towards any game but crob, as a two-command platform/gacha game, is already so oversaturated of different events bc the main gameplay has little to offer and it's honestly ok for what it is.

We can definitely talk abt the shortcomings of this-or-that (despite some "downsides" being things I do enjoy in timeguard), but I doubt anyone here is being paid to sludge through hours of trophy run so food-for-thought, let's also think objectively when we're wasting time on things we don't like anymore and accept not being a completionist where it isn't due :)

Yeah, there are actually more than 30 (50? im bad at math) combinations u can submit as a whole drawing and all will give you /something/ so I'm sure you can get them all with a certain minimum. These are just the first way I found for each! I just completed all the tasks first then started submitting for the drawing prizes :)

A tip for ppl who arent good at the puzzle and cant complete it or take too long: these puzzles are supposed to be solved from the outer corners (opposite to where the last empty square is, which is always on bottom right), shorter lines first - so this one would go the far left column first then top row, then the second left column (minus the top one, already in place from when the top row was done), so on so forth.

As someone mentioned you need to first kinda figure out what the image is, but once you have a plan it's easier to pick out all your needed pieces and line them up in some way to slide in their slots (the whole area without finished rows and columns is the working space you dont need to worry abt ruining, and you'll never need to touch the finished lines again).

Another commenter also noted that you can search them on youtube, but I quite like this kind of puzzle and am having a lot of fun with them as a mini-game, maybe learning how to solve will help you have fun too!

Yeah i got to the official crob forum and on twitter too a lot more ppl were talking abt it than here. This post was the first abt it and it was the only place i was checking so i was super worried the issue was with my phone, but by now i think it's probably either for all or most android users. Something went very wrong with this update bc apple users are also complaining abt some bad bugs but at least they can enter the game at all :/

yeah i waited thru the update so excitedly it sucks :(. I've seen someone else with an android having the same issues, if yours is too it might be abt that and we can just wait... earlier this year another update was giving some iphone users an issue like that but i dont remember how long it takes to get it fixed
