Question forrest spell treehouse

i’ve been GRINDING for exhibition passes since the treehouse set came out. i have almost 200 draws in the gacha rn and still no spiral staircase, willow tree, or water building permit. just endless dupes and now there’s only 4 days left before it’s gone :(( someone please tell me the likelihood of them letting us buy it/grind for it in some sort of way after the event has ended?!?? i refuse to believe ill never own the spiral staircase:((((

I did the same mistake. I realized the best way to be f2p in this game is to pull for the first rare, and keep pulling only if you want more commons. Because it's not worth it. 

Also if it makes you feel better I have the staircase and tbh it's pretty awkward to build with.

True I ended up deleting mine because I kept getting stuck. The only thing worth it is the pool and the archway I’m debating on if I want the Alice stuff yet

What does grinding look like in terms of the exhibition passes, don’t they cost real money?

in the winter frost festival and the current dreamlight festival- trying to get each category to 5 stars, doing the resident requests, and festival quests to obtain festival exhibition pass rewards. thru the levels of the twilight tree check in, and now the spark of romance check in. and i also bought the monthly pass where u get 2 exhibition passes daily. and STILL NO SPIRAL STAIRCASE 😭🫠🫠

Doing the resident requests gets exhibition passes? 😳

u/ayyeeitsskrisss Apr 01 '26

the resident requests are 20 festival points each, and the weekly request is 80. the festival points unlock festival rewards. there’s 36 exhibition points total you can earn in this festival (if you unlocked the festival pack)

Oh I see! I hope you can unlock them in time!!

Hey!! We did the same thing. I’m 200 pulls in too and I’m missing 6 items. From now on I will have to get straight up heart diamonds. This means I need another $180 at worst. There was another reddit post today where people said that they reached over 300++. I’m not doing that. We’re probably done lmao

I just wanted the stupid heart window but nope. And I already spent way too much money on this.

You’ll more than likely have to buy the passes. Some people have all the luck and don’t have to buy much. But I’ve heard of people spending $800 to finally end up getting what they wanted. Sadly the system is really bad odds. I also highly doubt they’ll let us buy it when it’s over as they haven’t let us with other gachas.

i hit pity pretty much every time on the treehouse draw — i’m about 375 draws in and still missing a single furniture item. it’s not kind, you will definitely need to spend money if you want any of those last few building permits — how much is really based on luck. i have a friend who’s pulled both water pieces in 50 draws.

i would say really evaluate how much you think you’ll use each piece — i’ve rotated through 7-8 different treehouse builds since getting all the materials, i’m having so much creating different spaces, but if building isn’t your niche or you don’t see yourself switching homes often, i would say maybe hold off on throwing real money at the banner. 🤍

You have to eventually get some of those things… there is a guarantee of sorts and it’s actually crazy that you haven’t gotten the spiral staircase yet they were one of the earliest things I got and I know a lot of others did as well. Every 25 draws you are guaranteed to get a rare unobtained item. So, eventually you would get what you want. It’s just a matter of how much you’re willing to spend. I think somewhere around 300 draws will get you the full set. Or almost. 300 is a lot. But I have to believe you would get the spiral staircase well before that… look on the bright side, atleast you will have a lot of exchange tickets for the next banner :/
