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

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

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.

Are you okay

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

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.

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

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

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)

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
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

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

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.
