Daily Villager Gifts & Fast Travel Not Working

[round coyote]

I am no longer receiving any initial gifts from each of my villages.
I am unable to fast travel to any of my villages except the Monastery.

My friends on the same platform are getting gifts from their villagers and they are able to fast travel directly to any of their villages in their worlds.

I'm glad to not get gifts. It's just junk I usually trash anyway. But I'm also unable to fast travel anywhere except the monastery.

Agreed, the gifting process should be improved both in quality and quantity

What do you propose they give instead?

[round coyote]

Something that is rare and actually useful: uncut gems, Ninjago materials etc

[regal kestrel]

I don't think the new fast travel feature was intended for all villages; again, it's my assumption, as they never confirmed it to work on all villages! I created a new world to test it, where I found in the new world it doesn't give the option to teleport to other villages except the monastery.

Again tho, at a certain stage of the game like when you have a villager assigned to gem cutter uncut gems become trash and most ninjago materials like bamboo you don’t need an excess amount

[proper blade]

All the new materials have an excessive amount that is needed. It's like 7 bamboo to make one honed. You need 5 to make an epic, 6 for legendary. So you're looking at 35 to 42 bamboo just to make a shuriken for example. Their durability isn't great.

True ig
I typically make all my stuff out of steel for that dura reason because it gives so much so it doesn’t really apply to me ig
