    I got 1 GB, oh, I got 1 GB when I give the 50th candied apple to fox.
    what a delighted prize to get :D:D

    I already prepared that I may not get any GB from the random pool.
    Oh, wish the bears will also give me GB when I feed them:p

    lack of time and math make me do the crops before starting the mill. The drops will follow anyway. And having 12(+) hour crops over the next days will work with milling and feeding our special farm visitors just fine. (I think)

    Merry Christmas to all. And save travels for the travelers.

    Back to real cookie baking

    Brokey, the flat broke farrrr merrrr
    Took some wheat to market today;
    And when the folks thought it'd be so nice
    Brokey undercut with quantity and price

    Then one foggy .....

    And the wheat market is no longer broke-free! xDxDxDxD8)8)8)

    Strategy is unload this wheat to the point of bringing the price down to the seed price. 8)8)

    Whew!! What a day yesterday was, I'm having a blast with this game.

    Since posting in the thread for neighbors, 12 have stopped by so I now have a green meadow...all that land!!! This morning I was able to open Baha and get some cherry trees so I'm thinkin' I might try for lvl 1 of the bear and to finish penguin. Penguin is doable but not sure about bear. Right now I have 75 bottles and figure I need 240 but they should come quicker now with neighbors and more land. Right?? :p

    Many thanks to farmer_broke for your advice about chickens. I've bee raisin' and sellin' em lik crazy to finance this venture. Yesterday earned about 55k from the market. Hope to beat that today!

    @Shiny.Sparkle
    Nice to see you back with us. You will make coins with the manure as long as the event goes on and then it will drop to nothing.

    I know you are getting stars. When beginning a new farm I usually want all of the land an the land takes stars and the stars are often rewards in the Farmers Society Quests (fsq). You may wish to consider completing the quest to get the stars based on the cost of the goods you must submit. Sure you can grow them. Maybe after I get all the land then I'll think about it and not until then. (The cheap quests give stars and you need them now.)

    Great you are working on the event also.

    One more thing: Those manure coins will be available to you every event where growing junk is required. You already have your chicken pens paid for. The most of any animal pen you may place is 128 on the mainland. (No need for more than 128 base chicken pens.)

    I've fed 70 penguins. So far the prizes for a level 90 player are nothing great. Almost all EP, BEP or CCs. At this point, I will feed up to 90 to unlock the polar bear but I doubt that I will bother with an additional 60 cookies for 3 GB. I'm over 250 on Baha and have already opened everything except for a couple of breeding things. 3 GB is just not that valuable to me.


    (EDIT: You've got it right broke, I meant up to 80 to unlock the Polar Bears and then to 90 for the stables. :oops::p:) )

    Doing the same thing. Went to 90 cookies and got the pens. Received a wolf, tortoise, and mouse.

    Too too many mouse pens being given away for nothing in the not to distant plans. I'm gathering the cats to hold down the rats as I'm gathering them.

    I finished both the penguin and the fox and I'm now working on the bear. I've run out of my bottle reserves so at this point it's plant long term crops as I've got all the event crop I need. I managed to get an additional 3 stables out of the penguins and 18 PF so I'm not unhappy I fed all 150. I did get an extra "fruit fox", 8 trees, more PF and lot's of PPP's. :)

    I'm hoping for good things from the bears as well. :D

    I have been doing this event with my head under my arm - not thinking at all... Just growing junks till I thought I had enough...and yeas indeed I did...a surplus of 4000 event junks -.- and I did feed the penguin 150 times - not part of the plan at all and I don't remember what I got except from the Sweet Beak twice.
    Went to spin the party wheel and now look what I got :)

    Thinking that luck might be changing for me now so I turned the wheel once again and got this

    [​IMG]

    Yippie what a great price to win! - except that I just harvested all my fields including the park and the shipwreck LOLxD

    I did remember to go to the mkt and sell wheat, apples and cherries and all my Fire Hydrants :)

    Merry Christmas!

    I like reading about the good prizes folks are getting. I am still feeding penguins and only a few foxes and so far haven't gotten anything exciting. I know it's out there!

    Just 29 candy canes to go and then I am done! Of course I have to get enough drops for those candy canes so I have refined carnations and ginger filling my 1x1 plots the drop booster cloud row is set to go off tomorrow before first harvest, so hopefully that will yield a few and I have happily earned 1 million cc by selling wheat, poop and chickens!

    I hate to break this to you but you can't get a kingfisher from the "Draco" stables.

    From the FAQ here is the list of what is possible:

    Regular farm stables:
    • Yellow and Orange upgraded stables, up to your farm level
    • Workshops, Yellow and Orange upgraded workshops, up to your farm level
    • Classic I and II stables, up to your farm level
    • with very much luck : be amazed by a Red or Pink upgraded stable, up to your farm level
    Rare stables:
    • Wolf Stable
    • Kiwi Kennel
    • Platypus Stall
    • Mouse stable
    • Raccoon stable
    • Dovecote
    • Stork Nest
    • Hedgehog Stable
    • Frog Pond
    • Rooster Stable
    For the last time during Wonder Stables:
    • Mole Stable
    Or the brand new super special
    Tortoise Habitat

    I'm sick of that penguin standing there shaking its head like a donkey!

    My strategy is to find a way to sell it some wheat.
