Strategy: The Road to Love

FAQs
SOS Road to Love​

This one isn't too tricky, grow crops, collect drops and mill product. To finish, we need to make 75 Heartfelt Gifts but the final three prizes are two duplicate EP givers and 15BB so I will be aiming to just get the second CR - 59 Heartfelt Gifts.

75 x 176 = 13,200 Heartdrop Flowers
75 x 17 = 1,275 Love Poems

or for the two CRs

59 x 176 = 10,384 Heartdrop Flowers
59 x 17 = 1,003 Love Poems

Crops can only be grown on the Main field but drops come from everything (including stables) on the Main field and Green Meadow.
Please correct me if I have miscalculated.
Good luck all!

 

Thank you for the topic and the total numbers dear @illy1996 It's nice of you to host this thread. I will work hard at this event. and it's great that the drops are falling from everywhere..

 

Thanks illy for starting the thread and crunching the numbers! They look good to me! My goal is to feed all 75 spawn and get the 15 BB's at the bottom! Good luck to all!

 

The drops are falling from "everything" - but not from everywhere. As per the FAQ: drops will fall on main field and green meadow only. So only those two fields will yield drops. I suggest that we maximize drops on the green meadow with long crops overnight and as many long-timed trees and animal pens as we can muster. I'd also suggest putting most, if not all of your Howies on that field - leaving as much room as possible for event crop on the main field.

Illy - thanks for starting the strategy thread!

Of course, I'm all in. TWO cloud rows - including one that gives a new buff + 3 crates of farm supplies VII...extra stuff is extra stuff. Also the little cupigs give little goodies when you feed them...crossing fingers for many crates of buffs!

I'm off to rearrange my fields. Again. Heavy sigh.

 

Dear @dumbunny I'm level 97 and can plant rose hips last.. Can you tell me which plant I should plant or which trees I should plant? Sometimes I have trouble with the clock and crop and can harvest well after the event starts. I would be very happy if you have any suggestions on this matter. My main field and green meadow are available now..

 

Are you playing both farms? Chocomallow and Bisquitte? I've been sending drops and CAC to chocomallow. If you've abandoned that farm for Bisquitte's farm, let me know.

I don't know what time zone you are in, relative to mine. This event starts tomorrow at 14:00 CET. That's 6 a.m. for me as I am MST (I'm in Montana, USA). So because of that, I've already put in really long crops (amaranth - 30 hours) with water and poo and have rearranged my fields so I'm ready to go in the morning.

You've got 18 hours as of my writing this (give or take an hour - I use an app on my phone so I can figure time zones out). So You should plant your rosehips right now with water and manure (and any buffs you may have that affect mainland other crops) so that they'll be ready when the event starts. DO NOT harvest before the event starts - you won't get the event drops from the harvest if you do.

If you are still playing chocomallow as well and I see that farm is at level 91. If you can, plant carnations on the main field and green meadow - again, water and manure and any buffs you have that affect time on mainland flowers.

When the event begins, if you are not buying a basket, you'll have 10 starter seeds. Put 10 2x2 fields out, put the 10 seeds on them, water, manure, super-grow and suzie's super-grow. This will yield 70 crops on the first harvest. You have a couple options after that, but I generally fill the field with 2x2's for the second harvest and again use SG and SSG. After that, I switch to 1x1's and use SG and SSG if I have it.

Many of these events are doable without spending real money, but spending a little bit of money (buying the smallest basket) can give you a leg up towards finishing. If you are playing with only the resources your farm has on hand, you can still go quite far - remember anything you earn in an event such as this one is still more than you had before you started the event. If you are striving to reach a particular goal in the event, it may be helpful to use a timer (I have one on my phone). I have also set alarms to get up in the night for additional harvests. However, this can be risky as when I am half-asleep I tend to forget to check and see if I still have active buffs running.

Good luck with this event.

 

Thank you so much dear @dumbunny Yes, now I prefer to play my @Bisquitte game account. @chocomallow I don't know how far I can go. Can you please help me with my @Bisquitte account.

Thank you very much for telling me what to do step by step. Thanks a lot for your hard work.

I have 17 hours right now. Rosehip grows in 19 hours. I will water and use a sauce that reduces the harvest time of other plants and wait for the event to start. i hope i get a lot of drops.. I am grateful in advance to anyone who can send drops to my Bisquitte account. I wish good luck to all farmers who will organize this event.

Thank you for all your suggestions @dumbunny

 

I would say, that plant such crop in mainland, which is ready, when you are ready to start event. Then you have room for your event plant. I sometimes leave area of 40 small plots for something quicker if I am not in time to plant longest ones, so I can start with event plants and I do not have to wait for free space. Now green meadow is needed just for drops so longest ones is good there. It does not matter if they are still growing when you start. Later it is good to grow relatively long crop, which suits to your timetable.

 

Thank you so much @-Päärynä11 For this activity I followed what @dumbunny said.. and i got a good tip from you too.. Next time I don't have time, I'll definitely make room for it.. These are great tips for a beginner.. I hope it will be useful for all novices..

 

Thanks for letting me know so I don't waste event drops and CAC on a farm you are no longer playing. I've send bonuses to chocomallow, CAC and some other things - you can friend your own farm and forward them (one per day) to your Bisquitte farm. Better than letting them go unused.

Okay, I got a phone call halfway into that previous post, and my math is wrong. Yield from a 2x2 field with CAC and SSG is 10. So planting 10 2x2s with your first 10 event seeds would yield 100 seeds on the first harvest. Yeesh. Now you know why I'm sometimes a "dumbunny"...

 

Thank you for all the good you've done for me @dumbunny You've been friendly to me again for my Bisquitte account.Sometimes words are not enough to describe my feelings.. Friendship is very precious to me. I will continue to send you drops every day. If there is anything else I can do, I will gladly do it..

Please don't worry about math because numbers sometimes play tricks on us

 

I just wanted to let everybody know i started a SOS Thread for Anyone who Might need help with drops it's For Everyone but especially good for lower levels and beginners Good Luck to Everyone doing this Event

 

Trying to decide if I'm putting event crops in overnight, or longer crops. Leaning towards longer crops. Even sewinglady's farm is running low on drops, already...eek!

 

The green meadow also gives drops so I put long crops on there and leave the main field for the event crops. So far I have 650 of the drops which seems good.

 

Neighbors I’ve been skiing for a week, so the gifts are on ice. (From Sunday)

Cloud rows are running. Instant play this time.

The instant prizes are so great that I would like to continue the whole event, but I can’t.

 

Don't forget to use any season coins before season ends! Very helpful to buy +1 when ready to harvest, especially when wheel isn't being nice to you.

 

I put orange dahlia on both fields overnight. Hoping it was a long enough crop to yield many drops. We'll see very soon.

Good advice and a timely reminder about those season coins. I have forgotten to use them in the past.

 

dumbunny this is a nice reminder. I also forgot the season money many times in the past.

 

33 "gives" played, CR1 running.

117 plants and 321 drops now. So no panic to drops, not enough crops for me...

Before-hand-plant was Wild rose "only" (not Hydrangea) and when Event started, just Event plant in Main Field, Green Meadow much longer plant everytime, I´m doing "Hobby farmers serie" so I need Wild rose and Flax tens of thousands so, 2-3 times (silver plases -4% and -6% crowing time bonuses for Grains and Flowers) per day drops from Green Meadow and nice to see that it is enough to My Farm.

 

I have completed this event. I have 2 CR's up and running I also got 7bb chests with 2 bb's in each one from the cupig! I grew some extra event crops so I will play as long as I have drops to use up! Good luck everyone!
