Hoard Discussion Thread v.5

[Guest]

Sigh... I'm feeling incredibly sad right now. I'm up to 499 pound only hoard pets. Today is my birthday and I was hoping to get horse number 500 - but all day there have been absolutely ZERO of those horses in the pound, while usually there are at least 3-4 every time.

Way to ruin it, pound

What was your first hoard and why did you want to hoard them?



My first hoard was, I believe, my 221b Baker Street pups! I had always liked their designs, but what made me want to hoard them was that I started watching the BBC series "Sherlock" and I'm pretty sure the litter design was influenced by the show. I really liked that series back when only two seasons were around (not so much today due to those newer seasons) and so I began my first hoard. I was so proud to reach my goal of 221 dogs, and I still keep them even though I'm no longer a fan of the show just because I still love the design and I'm proud of my accomplishment.

What do you consider a small hoard, and what do you consider a large hoard?

This question is a bit tricky. I know most people around here consider 5 to 10 pets a small number, and 20 to 50 to be a large hoard. However, I always found myself considering 100 to 150 pets a small goal if the pet is uncommon or below, and 50 a good number for rare or very rare hoards. Large hoards for me are anything with 300 to 500+ pets, and some of my goals have upwards of 2000+ pets!

How many hoards do you have that have over 1,000 hoard pets?

Doing a really quick tally, we have:

► The Parasol Protectorate (Incomplete!)
► The Isabelle Lightwood Collection
► Practical Handbook of Bee Culture (Unlimited!)
► Mass Effect: | Eternal | Infinite | Immortal (Incomplete!)
► Freedom Is a Length of Rope

A grand total of 5, though a few of my slower-moving hoards have goals of 1000 or more pets so hopefully this number will grow!

Which one of your hoards has the most hoard pets? ( and how many ? )



Definitely Practical Handbook of Bee Culture at 2063 ponies! As it's unlimited, I'm certain this will forever be my largest hoard. Thanks to Beemo for trading me their record-breaking hoard of these guys and pushing my own up past the 150 mark I'd stopped at!

What are some tips to growing your hoard faster?

I'll do this in bullet points as I could likely write whole paragraphs about what I've tried to do to increase my hoard growth:

► Check in the Pound: It's not the fastest method, but you are almost always guaranteed a free hoardie if you're patient!
► Check the Free Trades Forum: On any given day there are tons of people giving away pets. Many allow multiple adopts!
► Trade With Hoarders: Hoard swaps are great ways to increase your numbers, and helping other hoarders feels awesome.
► Send Out Tons of Trades: Sometimes you just have to send out as many trades as you can per day and hope for the best.
► Quantity Auctions: I've never tried this, but especially for rarer or List hoards this might be a great way to grow a hoard!
► Offer Chicken Dollars: This is my main method. If you have the money and inclination, C$ are a great help in trading!
► Make a Trade Thread: Again, haven't tried it, but I've heard it's an easy way to get lots of trade offers!
► Make a Personal Hoard Thread: Link it in your trade rules, and update frequently! If people see you want it, they offer it!

Hope these help, and good luck on your own hoards!

It has been a while since I popped on the hoarding thread or on CS. However, finally, it's over. I just signed up for classes (yesterday). I am finally able to get on and work on my hoarding!! Goodness... I felt like this weekend would never end.

So, I just noticed the new dog outcomes and I have to hoard them. I wish one was PPS, but I really want to hoard the reindeer puppy. Already have so many open hoards, but why not!

Go for it! You can never have too many hoards! :P

I've finished all my capped hoards and it's been sort of quiet for me on CS so I've started a new hoard :P



I have 6/20 so far, thought I'd hoard these beauties because I have a rose quartz stone at home (it's so pretty ;-;) and the hype seems to have softened a bit for this litter ^_^

EDIT:


Going for these cuties as well - but struggling with a name!

This was my first ever hoard and is still my favorite.. I love this litter and have ever since I think first came out. It's been my first hoard ever and I feel kinda bad because in the last few months I've completely put off finishing it due to wanting to collect all the store pets. Back to hoarding I go!

This is my first hoard pet babe. It's an infinite hoard and I'm always looking for them! I started to hoard them because they have the color scheme in my old music room in school. My goal right now, is to try and get 30 !!
