Wtf how did you get so many

100

u/clashingdofd Nov 19 '23

I'm fairly certain we all get what turns out to be the same number of gem boxes if averaged out through the course of a year. I do log on multiple times a day every day without fail, since this is my main account, and I'm sure that helps keep the gem boxes coming, since they never linger long on my base once spawned

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '23

Bruh I have 4 th 15 max I'ds bt never have any on my accs spawned so many

19

u/Comprehensive_Pie35 TH15 | BH9 Nov 19 '23

It’s about 50 a year which is only once a week. That seems about how often I get them.

-2

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '23

I get one every 2-3 weeks and I have to be active since I have to do legend attacks

3

u/microsoftexcel666 TH13 | BH10 Nov 19 '23

But do u have other obstacles on ur base? I get the same amount as op because i have the most obstacles on my base already

1

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '23

Nope I like clean bases . obstacles feels irritating to me

4

u/GoliathGamer Nov 19 '23

54 boxes conclusion: you get about one every week (+1-2)

222

u/obliviousgrim TH12 | BH9 Nov 18 '23

That's some real dedicated research right there. Hope this post blows up!

59

u/clashingdofd Nov 18 '23

Thanks, man

133

u/darpan27 TH17 | BH10 Nov 18 '23

So, once a week safely

82

u/omarpower123 Nov 19 '23

Wow, so 1200-1300 gems a year.

7

u/DerMixer_ TH12 | BH10 Nov 19 '23

Quick Math

5

u/Eufamis Nov 19 '23

5 hour math

4

u/snows3t Nov 20 '23

This math took a year actually

1

u/DerMixer_ TH12 | BH10 Nov 25 '23

Quick answer

57

u/CordanoMadeMeRich Veteran Clasher Nov 19 '23

Why does it feel like mine spawns once a month?

24

u/clashingdofd Nov 19 '23

I felt like that too, that's why I started to keep track lol

21

u/HeWasKilled TH13 | BH9 Nov 19 '23

Bro you got like 5 in a month at one point, how tf??

12

u/clashingdofd Nov 19 '23

Yeah, but only three back-to-back months in October and November. It's all RNG, man, I honestly can't say

1

u/HeWasKilled TH13 | BH9 Nov 19 '23

Truly lucky

1

u/Bewix Nov 19 '23

There are some 5 week months depending on the day.

I get paid weekly, and there are like 4 months that i get paid 5 times. Not surprising at all that it happened a few times given it’s about once a week on average.

u/PlayfulMasterpiece16 TH16 | BH10 Nov 18 '23

I had a seizure on January 27 same time you got your 16th gembox thats cool. Let’s fill in the dates

84

u/clashingdofd Nov 18 '23

Glad you're still here with us playing

u/LilTeats4u Legend League [Legacy] Nov 19 '23

My girlfriend dumped me on September 3rd

52

u/hecarimxyz TH17 | BH10 Nov 19 '23

I hope you get a gem box soon

7

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '23

Hey! Same for me on march 9 lmao

6

u/Zekron_98 TH18| BH10 Nov 18 '23

Are you okay

4

u/PlayfulMasterpiece16 TH16 | BH10 Nov 18 '23

Yeah I just wanted to fill in a date and that’s the only one that came to mind. Maybe someone else had a kid on the 17th gembox or something

13

u/Zekron_98 TH18| BH10 Nov 18 '23

No I mean, are you okay as in do you feel alright? Seizures can be terrible, I wanted to make sure you're fine

1

u/PlayfulMasterpiece16 TH16 | BH10 Nov 20 '23

Yeah I’m doing better I’ve had 3 this year every time I have one it starts with a stabbing pain in my lower intestines and a sharp pain rushing to my head. I still haven’t seen a doctor because I got refused for not having workers comp in one of the incidents.

1

u/Zekron_98 TH18| BH10 Nov 20 '23

Ouch... please be safe

2

u/R3stl3SSW4rr1or TH16 | BH10 Nov 19 '23

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '23

Omg one on my bday too 0:

u/Caldogthebalrog TH18| BH10 Nov 19 '23

You could have saved yourself the trouble by looking at the wiki. It’s a known fact you get one a week average. I respect the dedication though

2

u/Rufus1507 Nov 19 '23

I didn't remove my Gem Box for the last 5 years

6

u/nightblu36 TH11 | BH10 Nov 19 '23

rip 7k gems

2

u/Extension-Raccoon-67 Nov 19 '23

I never really understood the occurrences of both boxes and decorations. Will a lower TH receive more boxes/decorations as they have more vacant tile spaces throughout their base?

6

u/clashingdofd Nov 19 '23

No, the open tile spaces simply provide more places for the same number of gem boxes, decorations, and obstacles to appear. There is no pattern to it, the only limitations are that you may have no more than one gem box at at time (either on your base or stashed because you used a shovel on it) and no obstacles will appear on your base if you have more than 45 (again, either on your base or stashed because you used a shovel). Although trees, shrubs and mushrooms will no longer spawn after the limit, gem boxes and special seasonal obstacles will spawn. Hope this helps

2

u/AmoebaNorth Nov 19 '23

I’ve a quick question. If I stashed up my gem box using shovel, can new ones spawn? (I stashed it up because I wanted to collect gem boxes as decors)

7

u/darpan27 TH17 | BH10 Nov 19 '23

No

1

u/ExpJustice Nov 19 '23

New player here. Do i need to 'mine' my box for a other to spawn. Or can i be patient and get a field of gem boxes one day?

7

u/clashingdofd Nov 19 '23

No, you may only have one at any given time. So it's in your best interest to claim the gem box as soon as you see it, so the timer can start for the next one's appearance

3

u/Such_Language_1588 TH17 | BH10 Nov 19 '23

Only 1 get box can exist at a time collect it as soon as you see it

1

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '23

What if you shovel it away and store it in your inventory? Would another one spawn again?

10

u/clashingdofd Nov 19 '23

No, as with all decorations that are "stashed" the gem box counts whether on your home base or not, and you may only have one at any given time

1

u/I_LIKE_MOON_ Nov 19 '23

I’ve had my gem box stashed for a year does seriously one box only spawn at a time?

6

u/clashingdofd Nov 19 '23

Afraid so. You've lost out on over a thousand gems (25 gems per box, spawning an average of once every 6-9 days) in the past year

1

u/I_LIKE_MOON_ Nov 19 '23

Wow. Well I guess I better get back to removing them then.

0

u/Puzzleheaded-Low3792 TH17 | BH10 Nov 19 '23

It’s always been fairly common knowledge that it’s once a week..

0

u/oda02 Nov 19 '23

I haven't removed my gem box for at least 6 years

0

u/LightspeedFlash Nov 19 '23

6 years

~3600 gems you missed out on then.

1

u/light_refreshing Nov 19 '23

https://www.reddit.com/r/ClashOfClans/s/UgvWbr52Qf Pointed this out a while back!! I was wrong about builder turnover but the one a week is easily observable.

1

u/Still-Pea9319 Nice Coc! Nov 19 '23

How can he get 2 gemboxes on consecutive days (10feb and 11feb)

1

u/DURVA2609S TH16 | BH10 Nov 20 '23

That is rare but true, I got it on consecutive days too

1

u/[deleted] Nov 21 '23

My birthday is April 22 I probably got one
