passiflora Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Today while I was at the money tree, it would randomly load with a bunch of scamanders, but when I clicked on one it said it had wriggled away (screenshots below)! I've never seen that happen before, and it doesn't seem to coincide with any calendar event or anything??? Silly TNT. It also appeared to have counted towards my item 'quota' - I've been picking up junk items from the tree for the rubbish avatar, but I clicked two scamanders and only ended up being able to take 8 items. :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombiiesque Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I've actually seen this before and had the exact same thing happen! I'm not sure the significance, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haliaetus Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I've had this happen to me before, too. Actually is happening to me as we speak. :P No idea what the meaning of it is though, if there is one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn the Human Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 You grab the Scamander and... It wriggles out of your hand, barely escaping through a hole in the floor. Better luck next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 It happens every October. Only a lucky few will be able to catch one to keep :P Mouseykins, Emily and Rebecca~ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_ma_cris Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Nice, i'll try to catch one. They look really nice. Are they valuable or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Xandria Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Yes, they are valuable. They go for around 1,400,000! I have no clue why. They aren't really cute petpets or anything. So it may be hard to sell for that price. I'm unsure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Apparently if you click one and it wiggles away, it counts as one of your 10 Money Tree/ Second Hand Shoppe "catches" for the day. Good luck catching them everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it may be hard to sell for that price. I'm unsure. They must be pretty rare! I'm kind of disappointed now that I used my other "grabs" for junk instead. I would have forgone my money tree items for the day in the hopes of catching one of those little guys! Do they usually just stick around for one day?

mishalunchbox Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 There have been Scamanders swarming all over the Money Tree this evening, so out of curiosity i searched "Scamanders Money Tree" and was brought to a thread here. Imagine my surprise when i found the topic was locked due to its age .... EXACTLY four years old! It was posted on October 12, 2008. I'm thinking "mysterious and probably pointless pattern." Every October 12th? Every fourth October 12th? It has nothing to do with the 12th being a Friday, since in 2008 it was a Sunday. I mention this in case there's some interesting tidbit buried in there somewhere that someone would like to add to TDN; a tidbit whose research might be assisted by this -- and the other -- thread. ...Or at the very least, in case people would like to go try to catch one of the wriggly little buggers. I was gonna add that i thought i'd identified a pattern of the times at which they appear, but further testing showed i'm probably wrong. So NVM.

Koralis Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Oh dear, this seems like I'm gonna be lured to the Money Tree now to see if I can catch one. So far I've had three slip through my fingers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxen Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Oh no, why did I click on this? XD I'm so going to have to try my luck at the money tree now :P This is so cool! I never knew. Good luck everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koralis Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 So I'm assuming the infestation is over now, it only occurred for the one day re: Misha's post? I haven't seen any there today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passiflora Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 I didn't see any today, either. How sad that it was over so quickly! I hope at least a few people managed to catch one. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
