The Great Chase X

Thank you WisdomTree for all your help! 12ss12 I am glad you are feeling better, take care of yourself! I have completed the
90 games on the left and have the 2 piccolo boxes that I will save for later! I am playing on, and will try for the Magic Tree as I feel there is no way I will ever get enough points to reach the much wanted "Jumbo tree"

 

We've been gone or busy every day since Thursday, so I haven't had much time to farm, but have just under 10,000 crops and most of the drops. My goal is to get the Piccolo boxes, but not sure I'll make it. Will continue to grow until sometime tomorrow, then start the games and see how far it gets me. Hope you are feeling better, 12ss12!

 

I think I seriously underestimated this event. I've worked hard on it and with the help of buffs and farmwheel spins, plus a nice amount of SG and SSG to use, I've been able to play 116 games. I'm still a long way away from completing and not sure it can happen. Balancing event crops and crops designed for drops is tricky. I have absolutely no desire to have leftover event crops waiting for drops. My Cloud row that ensures instant carnations won't be ready until just a couple of hours before event end. I won't have time to mill and play a lot of games in that short time. I'm too far in to abandon my efforts but think my efforts are in vain. That lovely event catch-22.

 

pnp, I totally agree with you! I have played 120 games, and because the distance between "Points" is foolishly high, I know
I will not even reach the Magic tree, never mind getting to the Jumbo. So like you, the wind has been knocked out of my sails but I will carry on because at this point I have wasted too much time and buffs! For me it is another event I will give more thought to the next time it comes around!

My original plan was to go for the Piccolo boxes and not worry about finishing, but then the rewards were changed to include SG tree with XXL upgrade. Aim for the stars but be happy with where I land.

I'm up to 123 games/15,441 points. Aiming for the next Piccolo box. My farm was very young when the train bringing Jumbo trees came along. I didn't have much stock to trade and didn't have mastery of making CC to buy stuff to donate. I have very few Jumbo trees and so another SG tree would be ideal.

We'll see what happens....
Best wishes to all who are working on this event and congrats for reaching your own goals

 

My husband and I just found out - that the so-called "night shift" is available when:

Farm, Kitchen and Porky's Bakery are all 3 on-line at the same time.

My honey already played 102 games for me, just that "find 10" game mode and got 8610 points. If we played ANOTHER 102 games, there would be less than 17000 points and Piccolo Box needs 17580 points, for goodness sake, it's not easy.

In the past, our Mr. Player has played "find as many as possible in 90 seconds" games after 20 games, but we calculated that the Game Amount Prizes from 90 games, with a maximum score of 135x90= 12150 would not be EVEN CLOSE to the Piccolo box, so - come on, we've been stressed for 12 years about this "kids" game" even in the middle of the night, somewhere there is a line that "maybe it's not worth sacrificing a night's sleep for the sake of the game"...

and when we look at the clock, the local time now shows exactly 4:39 AM! - nice, and Honey hasn't slept any minutes, zero, on that night...

But: 2x Piccolo Box - that's enough for now !

Yours: anki74 and Nuubi-Joonas2210

p.s. and NOW 4:41 AM is HIS shift to plays HIS 90++ games... great...

edit: he is now played 30 games and 2880 points (96 pts per game, better than "second best result in find10") --> if that continues --> he get with 90 games "only" 8640 points and Piccolo Box is that 17580 points... olee! thats "quite nice"...

 

After reading all your comments here, I'm very glad I haven't put a lot of effort into this event - got the cloud row and a few BB's and will be happy with that. Don't know what's going on with the wheel lately, but rarely see a crop bonus, much less land on one - it would have helped use up the more than 800 drop items that will be left over. That's ok, maybe next event will be better.
Good luck to everyone still working toward their goal.

 

I have achieved my goal of the Cloud Row and am doing a few more games but my average per game is only 91 (I can only attempt the Spot the Difference and I am not very good at that). I think I have only ever completely finished these games, which have two sides, once.

 

13:29 Local time o Clock my results are now:

97 games and 10014 points so average 103.23 points, still no chance to Piccolos or more difficult trees but CR and good amount of SG SSG and PF "back", 2 Piccolos (that 90 games played) and hoping - no thanks this time "complete rubbish"...

now no need to harry up anymore...

 

We had no internet on Friday and Saturday so way behind on mine. Played 71 games and have 6551 points. I have never been very good on this event and changed up items on the scenes is making me even slower. I like the prizes on the right side for the event but have never gotten very far and the SG tree that I wanted is impossible. I have a xl SG tree but no base tree to put it on and would have needed to play over 200 games to even get close at my speed of doing the find thing. I wish I had a touch screen because my mouse is so finicky.

 

I'm heading down to sew in a few minutes. So much to do. So farming has just gone completely by the wayside. I did plant the event crop on sewinglady's farm and I think this next harvest will give enough games to play for the cloud row. I'm really glad I sat it out on all the other farms, though...and I should have stuck to my guns and not had SL's farm participate, either.

These hidden object events are always difficult. The only way to get to the bitter end on the right side is by spending a small fortune to get the extra things you need - like drops, extra milled items for mini-games and the +1 for event crops. Nope. Not this time, not even on SL's farm.

 

I managed to finish the RHside aided by Three + 100% from the wheel and 8000 green goo from my stock of 21000.
Also I only played four scenes that I was familiar with on days four and five... or was it three and four... My average was just under 120 so I probably played about 230 -235 games...
I dislike getting 124 because getting that one more lifts the score to 130. I think I only got about 8 - 10 x 135 ...
Phew! I don't want to see XI for at least a month ...

 

Firstly Well Done to All whom have completed this event, As this is one of toughest events to do

When I looked at Revised FAQ of Prizes, which included a Super Tree plus XXL Tree (I am fortunate to have a fair amount of Super Trees/XXL Trees) On added note there is a Crate that give very slim chance to win a Super Tree

I dislike like this event because number of Mini Games that is needed to be played which i find time consuming, lots of clicking, Stress on my precious Brain

I am Happy to get Shocked Lenny plus CR as i made it to 54 Games, As i been busy going out travelling enjoying my days out, Also know it very rare and hard to win Harvest Boosters i actually got some Harvest boosters in my Barn, I do not know why i am Hoarding these too lol, I guess saving them for more Rewarding Events
BigPoint needs to start to Introduce Newer and Better Rewards after Backlash of unhappy Farmers

I am just curious will they Bring Back Translantic Express Train event where we could win Super/Suzy and Jumbo Trees

 

204 games got me to the end on the right side.

The best day for me was when Borsty's Factory + Lenny's Lab + Festive Bedroom were featured since I prefer newer scenes over older ones.

Didn't spin the wheel for any harvest bonuses with party tickets and instead relied on Jack O'Gifts, revenue bonuses from the barn, as well as SG & SSG. I know I end up using more SG this way but it's how I like to play at the moment - for better or worse. It wasn't cheap but 78,967 event crops + 6,090 drops feels like a walk in the park compared to the 158,400 event crops + 9,240 drops I had to produce on the same 2 fields for the May Game Day event.

And since there are so many players in this game who keep pressuring BP into offering better rewards so farms like mine can produce increasingly absurd amounts of event crops & drops, I guess I can look forward to tiered events with even tougher requirements. Oh what fun it is to watch my fellow farmers despair about how they can't keep up. We definitely need more of that in Farmerama... NOT!

Congrats 12ss12! Hope you were able to recover quickly and get all the prizes you wanted.

Crocus and cube watermelon are 2 of 3 crops that can be grown instantly for drops without a CR. You might want to consider refining at least one of these crops as a backup option in case this happens to you again in future events.

I've been working on getting the 2 SG refinements for cube watermelon because I don't want to take any chances on the same thing happening to me. Got nothing better to do on the mainland in between events anyway.

You can get a super jumbo tree base to go with your XL from the Busy Butterflies FSQ.

 

I am 2 games away from finishing. One hour remaining in the event. Final harvest in 40 minutes, then mill and play 2 games in 20 minutes. Final tally is 212 games. It took me longer than my normal learning curve to learn Lenny's Lab which lowered my avg points per game.

Thank you for the suggestion zerodegrees about refining crops that won't need CR. I made a mistake as sometimes happens with foggy thinking and activated white innocence but forgot the fruit cake so my instant carnations are not instant. Needed another plan. I abandoned refinements long ago when doing roses and carnations. It took tens of thousands, well over 100k of crops in order to get the refinements I wanted. I found it more frustrating than rewarding and turned my attention on other things needing crops. Those were the days when 100k of crops was so out of character for anything else needed in the game that I was too overwhelmed by it all. These days, BP thinks nothing of asking for 100k crops so I will take another look at it and see....

Fortunately, I have some BB to carry me through the last few games needed. I did not keep track of how much SG or SSG used nor how many wheel bonuses I had, but I used everything....water, manure, SG, SSG, crop bonuses from barn, wheel bonus, Jack O Gift, and finally some BB.

Pleased to reach the end, but my hand aches from all the clicking. Was it worth it? I thought so at the time, but each one of us has to judge that for themselves. Had any of my resources been less than what I have, I wouldn't have reached my goal. This event was tough even for mature farms.

 

Thank you zerodegrees. I played 68 minigames and have winded up the game. Physical health did not cooperate. I think for games like these we need to have lot of stamina to complete in full. But no issues. Got the cloud row. I am now cured of the piccolo boxes mania.

Thanks for the tip on Crocus and cube watermelon refinement. I am off to get them. Now have something to think about and chase. I did the busy butterfly FSQ etc., They kept me occupied for some months.

 

Way to go, puppiesnponies! That was a close one! I'm so pleased the event ended on a happy note for you.

Nicely done, 12ss12! Here I thought you might have trouble getting the CR in your condition and you blew right past it like it was nothing!

 

Did I ? I waited and played the scenes which I was comfortable with. Many times I wanted quit. But I started the event. So thought of atleast getting the cloud row. But in truth I felt giddy and lost interest in trying the new scenes or trying to get prizes from the RHS. I think this event is not meant for persons who are in poor health or ill. It is a cruelty on them. I think if the event is very difficult, then atleast the rewards should be worthwhile. They could have give PETs or some rare items as rewards for those who finish the RHS. Because players who finished spent thousands of SSGs & SGs. Few BBs & Jumbo Trees are not enough rewards for those players.
