I'm going to continue this in a new post, since we're diverging from just the Gingerbread House to the more general question of how this all works...
Quick recap from this thread:
And now my follow up question(s):
First of all, thank you @Herodite for trying to make sense of it all for us. However, I'm afraid I'm still a bit confused
So if I understand this correctly, during this 6 week overlap of "phasing in" of Base B and "phasing out" of Base A, do they both appear in the crafter? So that there is actually 12 weeks where you are able to find a certain Base in the crafter? Or does it mean that we are able to find the artifacts for 12 weeks but the base only for 6 weeks?
The wording "phasing in" and "phasing out" is in my opinion very confusing. What does that actually mean? Does it mean "phasing in" in the literal sense as in that it is slowly being introduced and the chance of it increases gradually over time? So then "phasing in" would mean something like: Week 1/6 the chance of encountering the base is 16,7%, week 2/6 it's 33,3%, week 3/6 it's 50%, week 4/6 it's 66,7%, week 5/6 it's 83,3%, week 6/6 it's 100%? And "phasing out" means the opposite? (Just shouting random numbers here, just to illustrate whether something like this is indeed what is meant by phasing in/out?).
Having looked at the potential spire rewards when hovering over chests though, it doesn't seem like 'phasing out' in the literal sense is what happens, as there is quite a hard switch from one artifact to the next artifact, when the next 6 week rotation starts.
Let's for example look at the announcements for three consecutive 6-week periods, focussing on the Queen Fairy's Retreat:
The next 6 weeks, the Queen Fairy's Retreat is "phased out" of the Spire of Eternity rewards, does that mean only the chance of getting the artifact from the spire? There isn't being spoken about what happens to the chance of encountering the base in the crafter...
The last 6 weeks, Queen Fairy's Retreat Artifacts are being "phased in" for crafting... However, there is never spoken about "phasing out" the artifacts for the crafter...
So... how does all of this work???
So many questions... It's all so vague... Please don't get me wrong, I very much appreciate that we are actually informed about possible rewards, but would it be possible to be a little more specific so we know what we can expect when and where?
I'm trying to make sense of this towards my fellows as some are waiting for a specific base building, but since it's all rather unclear and vaguely worded, it makes it rather hard to explain in a clear way what Inno actually means
Thank you again/in advance, for explaining this to us in words we can actually understand xD

Let's for example look at the announcements for three consecutive 6-week periods, focussing on the Queen Fairy's Retreat:
On September 25th, the reward dataset for the Spire of Eternity will be adjusted for the next 6 weeks.
Changes:
- Ashen Phoenix will be phased out as a possible reward for the Spire of Eternity
- Queen Fairy's Retreat Artifacts and the craftable building will be phased in instead
- Everblossom Sleigh Artifacts will also be phased in for crafting
On November 6th, the reward dataset for the Spire of Eternity will be adjusted for the next 6 weeks.
Changes:
- Queen Fairy's Retreat will be phased out as a possible reward for the Spire of Eternity
- Triumph of the Tides and craftable building will be phased in instead
- Ashen Phoenix Artifacts will also be phased in for crafting
In the first 6 weeks, the Queen Fairy's Retreat Base and its artifacts are being "phased in", does that mean they're immediately available for crafting? Or is it an increasing chance like I described above?On December 25th, the reward dataset for the Spire of Eternity will be adjusted for the next 6 weeks.
Changes:
- The Triumph of the Tides will be phased out as a possible reward for the Spire of Eternity
- The Red Panda Master and craftable building will be phased in instead
- Queen Fairy's Retreat Artifacts will also be phased in for crafting
The next 6 weeks, the Queen Fairy's Retreat is "phased out" of the Spire of Eternity rewards, does that mean only the chance of getting the artifact from the spire? There isn't being spoken about what happens to the chance of encountering the base in the crafter...
