OK, I may not be the most observant person in the world, but it seems to me that I've been seeing a weird thing going on; is anyone else seeing this? When I get FFs via - any source, like collecting party hats, growing and harvesting treats, even collecting DC - there seem to be quite a few times that, even though some number of FFs are shown as having been awarded, my number of FFs in the little window does NOT increase. So I'm getting cheated! It's not every time, but it is quite a lot, and in both my GC/iPhone park and my Android/FB park.

I thought the same thing a couple of times, however I realized that as you glance at your DC, the FF have already registered a second or two before you ever see the fading display.
Looking around and enjoying life!

Me too. But they get added eventually and count toward your total when unlocking prizes.
Thank you so much Flutterbye,Kiyoji21, GregDarcy, and Joliesdragons, for sharing your approaches to tracking where you're getting the daily ff from.
I'm not that keen on the tower -- just want to be sure I get the dragons and habitat. So I think I'll stop being so obsessed about trying to get every last ff each day and focus more on tracking how many gems I have spent to make sure I don't spend more than I need to. Then, I'll just buy a few ff if I still need some to get the habitat.
It's now about 11 hours to ff reset for me and I just collected my last habitat ff for a total of 80. I'll leave them alone now until after reset so I have as many chances as possible in the Kairos strategy I outlined before. I've finished my egg and gem categories, have 12 ffs remaining for food, and have yet to collect from friends (they reset in about 6 hours). I was able to get a full 360 on Friday and Saturday and should be able to easily hit a full 360 today while leaving myself ideally positioned to get the better part of 360 tonight after midnight and tomorrow before doubling ends.
A good weekend!

Question, I don't really want the last reward. The tower. I bought ff's to make sure I got the dragons and habitats. I've now got almost 800 ff's. Should I just quit trying to collect ff's so I can turn whats left into gems?

Hi there welcome. So I just reread the message about extra ff in the help menu. Turns out when the event ends your unspent ffs will go to the rewards wether or not you want them to anyways. Only then if you have any extra ffs will they be converted. So if your next prize is the tower, your going to need more fireflies than what it's worth to get some gems. Which means that the only way to get gems is to have all the prizes + extra ffs? At least that's what I interpreted from the message. Can anyone confirm?

I think it means that if you have, say, 900 ffs accumulated and you haven't turned them in for the habitat, that will happen automatically at the end, so you will get the celestial habitat, and the extra 75 ffs will convert to 15 gems. You haven't got enough for the tower, so you don't get that, but since 900 is more than enough for the habitat, you must take that instead of all 900 ffs converting to gems.
So, if you really don't want the tower, make sure you have fewer ffs than what it costs at the end of the game. Its impossible to play normally without accumulating some ffs, but if you don't spend a lot of gems and aren't actively trying to collect the max number of ffs maybe you will end up with less than what the tower costs. If you are getting close to 1650 ffs you might have to stop playing, or at least stop growing food, hatching eggs, collecting party hats, and collecting cash from the habitats to make sure you don't get enough ffs for the tower. I think if you have 1500 ffs when the game ends you will get 300 gems and no tower (if you've already got the habitat).
I can understand not caring if you get the tower or not, but why stop playing to make sure you avoid getting it??
Fun fact: If this event plays out exactly like the Easter event from here on out (as it has been), it will be possible to get the Tower with no obstacles cleared, no gems and $0 spent. Seems like they might have listened to feedback on this matter.
Theoretically possible, anyway. You'd be allowed to miss a total of 70 fireflies at most.

Do you have the calculations for this? O.O because when I calculated it out I needed about 200 gems. I don't have the sheet I did the math on with me.

Oh I forgot to say that my calculations were based on 3 cycles of double FFs per weekend. So 9 total cycles of double FFs.

26 days plus 3 double weekends for 12 days makes 38 days total. 38*140 is 5,320, plus the starting bonus is 5,570.
26 days means it would end on August 4th, which isn't much of a stretch IMO. If they run another 72-hour sale on the last weekend, that's when it would end.
They did the exact same thing for the Easter event, too. The announced end date was April 27th, but then they had a double weekend April 25th-28th, and that's when it actually ended.

OK, I just did my morning sweep, and I still got double ff's! It is Monday, isn't it? For the record, it's 8AM EST here.

I give gems randomly to those who seem to need them because I'm not organized enough to keep a list, but I'm always looking for more Party Hat friends!

I very much doubt that the game will turn in accumulated FFs automatically. If on the last day you have enough for an item plus surplus and the event ends I think you get gems for the total of FFs you have at ratio 5 FFs equals 1 gem, but you will not get the item for which you had enough FFs.

I think double ffs ends in a few hours- check the timer on the deals on the marketplace. It's just past midnight Tuesday morning for me- this timezone thing does my head in sometimes, I just have to go with the flow.

I found a I-tune card whilst sorting out and as I am getting fed up by this event, I turned it into FFs and now I completed the event. A few infos: - when you turn in your FFs for the last item, the tower, it makes a final FFs firework and then the event island disappears. Going to your social window you get two or three gifts: - FFs over the required number are turned into gems - you get the Tower with a congrats message and a possibility to get an extra gems from FB or Twitter - you also receive the Glowing Tower which is just a souvenir. Here also you can get an extra gem from FB or Twitter Using the Twilight Tower launches an animation showing either a dun or a moon (with sparkles all around). Day is just the usual blue sky we all know and Dusk brings back the colored background we have during the FF event. No dark sky with stars :/ Here a picture from the gift screen

Edit: I did not see all the posts above this one. Read those for real info.
For the magic egg event, that was not how it worked. Gems were a consolation prize not awarded to magic eggs above that needed for all prizes. Although they added a lot more detail, to the help, that part is not clear to me from the way it is written for firefly event.
