I have one pebble and one beetle left to find. I finally got the *** butterfly a couple of days ago after weeks of searching. That butterfly almost drove me crazy. Ironically, when I started a new game yesterday the same butterfly pops up - after 1 hour play! After only one hour! I just had to laugh :-D

I'm down to looking for that one purple beetle. Grrrr I keep my screen on that part of the village, or check that area every 30 secs or so just so I can watch for it, but it never shows up.

Jippie!! An hour after writing my last post here in this thread, I got the beetle! Now it is only the purple, striped pebble left.

Ok...I am almost there.

I have 1 pebble left and 1 butterfly left to find!

I was getting a little frustrated cause I hadn't gotten anything new lately...and then up popped one of the two pebbles I needed!

I have:
10/12 butterflies, 1 uncommon 1 rare to get.
11/12 shells, 1 rare to get.
12/12 pebbles. (yippeeee)
5/12 bettles, 3 uncommon all of rare to get.
1/4 gong peices, clearing the patch of thorns took a long time, had 6 out of my 8 adults clearing it.
Still got along way to go with the rest of the game. I pause it when i go to bed, but i read that pausing it slows events down i think???? I try to go on in the morning before i go to work roughly 2 hours. Then i go on it at night 4-6 hours. So i have the game running for several hours a day. When i have the day off i keep game running most of the day & night. So that should be ok yeah????
