new event, can you complete without using gems?
the waiting time to pick up new pumpkins is gigantic ,,, the event is only for the rich?

I wanted to know if it is possible to finish in the 5% or get the last piece of track, apparently it seems impossible, unless you use gems to shorten the waiting time

I dunno. You're going to have to do the math yourself on this one unless someone pipes up.
I will end up spending a bunch of gems as per usual to finish. I'll start tomorrow.

In my opinion you can complete it <5% without gems to shorten the time, but you should use them on the loot wheel - 4/5/6/7 gems for additional 2/6/12 pumpkins seems a better way than 20 gems to skip timer and get 1 certain pumpkin.

I agree. But I have offen 2 additional and rarely 6 or 12. Same for you ?

24 day event. 360 pumpkins needed for all stuff. Thats 15 pumpkins/day. Historically in Frontier events, reaching the end is good enough to get 5%, so I wont bother with that.
Given 15/day, its easy to see if you are “on track” or not. But I believe the odds are seriously against you making it without gem use. Look at it this way:
- If you play non-stop, you get 4 chances a day; for most people, just 3/day. So thats only 3-4/pumpkins/day without the loot wheel; you NEED 11-12 more from the loot wheel each day. Furthermore you cant get that much just getting the 2-pumpkin loot wheel everytime... you NEED at least 1 6+ pumpkin loot wheel to keep pace. If you only play 3/day, you might need 2 sometimes.
- Looking at the size of those loot wheel pumpkin slices, each spin is 25% chance or worse for a 6+ pumpkin lootwheel roll. You WILL need gems for rerolls.
- RL knows this; they muddy the water by giving you about 140 gems in the rewards, plus another 20 or so from dracula. Is it enough to cover you? I doubt it.
But at least you can easily see if you are falling behind or not by summing days of event and multiplying by 15.
(I take no chances given how poorly RL is about handing out missed tracks. I am usinng gems)

It is objectively not possible without gem use. To add onto xitooner's data, your ability to compete is based solely on the loot wheel. Having 6-hour intervals incentivizes you to use the loot wheel, because you know that's your only chance.
And, like above, RL has a long habit of screwing their fanbase by not giving out tracks, so I'm using my gems where possible.

has logic, but very difficult ... I'm using the 20 gems, let's see if I can ....

I got on to ask this same question. I have spent over 1000 gems and have a little over 260..and most of the time i'm not even getting extra pumpkins on the wheel all of a sudden. So usually yeah the events aren't bad with gem usage..But this one is off the charts. I'm pretty sure u could possibly make top 5% but to get all the tracks at 360 pumpkins. U would have to use gems for sure..Only 5 people have completed the event so far maybe 6 by now have the 360 for the track pieces..Hope this isn't A sign of things to come. Because I been day 1 kinda guy and get all tracks no matter what..But at the same time I spent 1.99 to get rid of ads and that's it..Won't spend anymore money on this game as I do the ads everyday to support ubi..And to keep enough for events but I won't do ads and spend money to support..It's too much. And i'm blasting away at my current stock to beat this event and even at 260+ I don't think I would be able to get all tracks at 360 pumpkins without A butt-load of gems. So once I can't support myself with ingame stuff to complete events and I fall behind if this keeps up..I'm out....top 50 player in all ranks on IOS. So they better watch how they treat these events and keep people like me who do the ads everyday happy to where it's possible without spending A dime..only time.
