Chocolatey Chip is amazing!

I also got it this week, but I really REALLY dislike that the rotation is so long (5 months???).
Part of it is that it's so powerful that it almost feels like FOMO to get people to gamble on gem shop. Some of my friends who were close but aren't going to get it this cycle have to gamble 1/22 or wait more time than they've been playing the game. It's such a big difference that they probably play less because they missed it.
IMO rotation should be like... 2-2.5 months max.

Worse than that, the rotation is randomly defined, not anything deliberate. Sapphire Rhinestone and Poker Chip aren't going to show up again for over a year, and while they aren't exactly critical upgrades, that's just so ridiculous that saying that they're not gem shop exclusives is effectively false. Jewel/chip rotations are 100% an example of rng done wrong; there should be way more than two chips and one jewel per week, and the rotation should be deliberately defined so rng doesn't make some of them all but impossible to get without gems (putting aside for now the fact that it makes a lot more sense to use gems to get the two black jewels than to try to farm up that many resources, since that's still at least possible to get by playing normally).

Don't they nerf drops and xp if you have to hit them more than 3 times? What's your damage at?

I think it's on a timer rather than number of hits, which I can mostly do - I'm at 8M max dmg right now. Biggest problem is with frozen souls for the anvil tab, weapon upgrade, etc, but I'll get there :)

Giant and crystal mobs are on a 'pity timer' .
When the timer is up the accuracy requirement for the mobs is set to 0, I do not know what it does with drops, the kill will count.
I've seen someone say it is about 2 minutes, but I cannot confirm that myself.
Too many crystals that you can't kill fast enough is a pretty wild problem.

Ah maybe I just had some on a blind spot then lol. I don't have the issue anymore though now my damage is good.
