Partners

Partners can help each other to clear objects on permanent or temporary lands. You cannot use Pickaxes or request help on  your Home Station, Forgotten Bay or Story Adventure lands. Earn Pickaxes while clearing your lands, each chop will help accumulate Pickaxes.  Some gift boxes and clearing rewards also contain Pickaxes.


1. How many partners can I have simultaneously?

- You can have only 1 partner. So, be careful when you accept a partnership invitation.


2. What if I don't have enough pickaxes to chop something on my partner’s land? 

- You can come back later after you have collected more pickaxes. 


3. Do I lose my accumulated pickaxes if I drop my partner? 

- No, you don’t.


4. If my partner performed a chop for me on my land and he removed me as a partner before I could accept his help, do I lose it?

- No, it will still be there for you to accept.


5. If I leave chopped treasures on the ground, can my partner steal them? 

- No, they can’t.


6. Does it cost me dog/horse feed to travel to my partner’s lands and help?

- No, it doesn’t.


7. I have cleared every land on the map. How can I earn gold pickaxes if there is nothing left to chop? 

- You can't earn them right now, you need to wait for a new land, permanent or timed.


8. When I chop down an object on a partner’s land, does it drop any bonus resources for me? 

- No it doesn’t. You take nothing home from your partner’s land.


9. Can I earn pickaxes without a partner?

- Yes, you can.


10. If I use dynamite, will I earn pickaxes? 

- Yes, as dynamite acts like a combo chop.


11. Can I request my partner’s help at a location he might not have opened/been to yet? 

- Yes, you can ask your partner to help most locations you have open. Which lands your partner has opened in his personal game will not affect that. 

You cannot use Pickaxes or request help on  your Home Station, Forgotten Bay or Story Adventure lands.


12. I have 300 pickaxes and then I get more from clearing locations. What happens?

- They are lost (300 is the limit). So don’t sit around, be sure to help your partner often to be able to get all the pickaxes that the game offers!

Bugs

My partner has asked for help but I can’t visit there or my partner cannot help me!

- On rare occasions, usually after a game glitch where the servers need rebooting, requests will get out of sync.  Both you and your partner should remove all existing requests then reload your games.  This is quite easy to do from home by clicking the partner icon then clicking Cancel all assistance.


Pickaxes

Pickaxes are awarded automatically as you combo chop on expedition lands.

A minimum combo chop of 10 is needed to get a pickaxe.

A player can have a maximum of 300 Pickaxes, after this number any new Pickaxes earned or found in gift boxes will be lost. 

Find a good partner and use you Pickaxes.

Pickaxes are often in Gift Boxes, Clearing Rewards, Spinners and other gifing decorations.  It may a good idea to use your accumulated Pickaxes before opening gifts, spinners and multiboxes.
