:eh: A perplexing observation: Routinely, I have fewer chest to open than the number stated in the inbox. I get only a percentage of my gift-chests to open. I have monitored this and it is consistently true. It's not like I'm going to get rich on these gifts, so why is the actual number fewer than the stated number?

A few days later: Today I showed 227 inbox gifts. As I accepted them, I received 167 total gifts. That's exactly 60 gifts fewer than promised. Is there a limit, a percentage per account which is imposed? Really curious to hear from someone about this observation.

Not sure what's going on there. I know the cap to accept is 400 and then an extra one for VIP rewards. I tend to let them pile up after accepting and then open them, so I haven't counted each time I accepted. Hope you get an answer.

The maximum number of Free Gifts you can have in your Inbox at anytime is 400! I clean mine out a few times a day so I don't hit the max of 400! There are 14 different Free Gifts Chest's that are available and they are based on a Player's Level! The more Buddies you have the more Free Gifts you can send and receive in return! What you get in your Inbox will be a combination of all those Free Gift Chest's depending on the Level's your Buddies are at and what Chest's they send out! So let's say you have 150 Free Gifts in your Inbox they are not going to be all the same Free Gift, they will be a mixture of those 14 different Free Gifts depending again on the Level of your Buddies and what free Gifts they are sending, plus your Buddies will be returning the Free Gifts you have sent out, too!. I hope this info helps!

The Maximum Free Gifts in the Inbox is 400!

I am currently at Level 344 so the highest Free Gift Chest I can send out to my Buddies is the Sapphire Coin Chest!

Here is an example of some of my Free Gifts in my Inbox! The Accept and Send are the Free Gifts my Buddies have sent and the one that says Accept is from the Free Gifts that I sent to my Buddies which was returned to me!
Image

As for opening them you will only get the Bonus Coins for the first 250 Free Gift Chest's you open and they have to be the same Free Gift Chest to get the Bonus Coins! If you open more than 250 you will only get the minimum coin Chest Value for each additional one you open! Since I had already opened mine I can't show the Bonus Amounts and my minimum is now 9 coins per Chest!

Yes, the cap is 400. Just now I had 209 gifts in my inbox, but when I accepted them, I received 144! That's 65 fewer gifts than first appeared. I'm baffled by this consistent discrepancy. Does anyone else do the math on number of gifts in the inbox as compared with the number actually available for collection?

Can someone explain the bonuses for the boxes posted above and how to get them?

Sorry hijacked an old post :D

Also...
Are these different then the boxes you open hoping to get the new COL2025 Cosmic Collectible items?

Oh and how do I get home visits? I am only at level 218 soooo I am so far down on everyone's friend ladders so I rarely get visits... mind you I have been away from Yo for so long that there just aren't many of my old friends left here either :(

Thanks still an old newbie... :eh: :hug:
