Thank you Niknar for starting the thread and doing the numbers!

 

I think it may be that 6300 bagonias are needed for the Eco Grocery bags (18 x 350 per bag), with a grand total of 10,800 bagonias to complete the event. A huge number for just one field!

 

@jenzmum , hi I have that number too for Eco Grocery bags I get 10,820 for total bagonias lol but close enough. I think it
is very doable in 6 days. Good luck to all!

 

Thanks Niknar for doing the calculations!

I'm in and will throw as much SG and SSG at those Bagonias (great gag by the way) to make sure I get enough crops and then change to longer overnight to get the drops sorted - oh, that's just normal strategy isn't it!

 

Lol illy, seeing we are getting drops from Main field and Green meadow I am hoping they won't be a problem. I have longer crops on Green meadow and event crops on Main field as that is the only place they will grow!

 

One fields - yes it is - but if get "some" bonus from Party Spins (even crops +1/6hours one or two, can get normal spins as well), 10 + 100 + 176 SG and SSG --> there is a lot of crops already done (with CAC of cource).

Just quess but in my fields there is about 3000-4000 crops before I´m going to sleep, even if started 18PM local time here in Finland just now. If I remember, do som update here about 24PM so 6 hours forward this time...

 

Thanks for starting the strategy thread, Niknar!

I was on the fence about this one. Then I looked at the FAQ again. I've decided my three usual farms are in as far as I can get them. Mostly doing this for the season points and the fact that those upgraded givers can replace some real clunkers I still have on my pet playgrounds.

I'm a tad burnt out...so if you haven't been getting gifts from me, etc. it's because most of my farms are just logging in once a day and the fallow farms have gone completely fallow again.

 

Thanks @-Niknar- for starting the thread!

I had reeds in the main field and green meadow, and that initial harvest gave me about half the drops needed!! 385 scoops and 276 coin purses (+ another 16 coin purses as gifts)! So, it looks like drops are not going to be a problem, but coin purses will be needed more than scoops as gifts. I hope that's true for everyone!

But our main farms will be busy! Good luck and happy farming!

 

And "some little lucky" again... +4 hours to earlier message - now 3312 crops "in barn" and 176x small plots (gives 8 per plot planted... so that 4000 in midnight... it´s to bee ! (Party spins give me +100%/24h and TWO times +1/6h and then CAC ==> 8 per plot)

edit: look at my message 6.05PM yesterday...

A small, partial "white lie" came roaring - it took 24 minutes past midnight - BUT instead of 3,000-4,000 plants, there were exactly 5,776 plants

 

One of the many reasons why I'm not known for my mathematical prowess

 

No problem I had to count on my fingers AND toes!

 

So far - so easy - 11408 crops - over 1000 scoops - need only Coin Purses and those only under 200 of it. So no need to "forum-people" to invest gifts to me neirborghs and crops - all what I need some Coin Purses!

Lucky to everyone!

 

I goofed on sewinglady's farm last night. That's what I get for farming when I'm tired. I forgot that my buff slots were empty as the buffs with PPP applied had worn off. Harvested the event crop. If I'd had the buffs still running, I would have had plenty to finish the event. Now, I'm running one last field this morning to craft one last grocery sack. ugh.

 

I have completed the event, I found the drops to be more than plentiful thanks to all my neighbors, friends and BP!
I put the 3 givers out with the curtains on all of them, and put out the trees we won. Nothing good for my farm from them!
It was a fun event and no stress.....Good luck everyone!

 

All finished yesterday and today - I won a +200% harvest for 12 hours!
Still that is always useful for those oh so demanding crop FSQs!
Lots of drops and nice steady pace - I finished very early cos I had quite a bit of green goo.
Good luck all those still filling their shopping trolleys!

 

I too finished. Won 3 +1 crops from normal spins. Opened my crates after a long time. So spinned a lot and got them.

Now I have to check out the rewards that were rolled. Dont even know what the giver items and upgrade curtains are for. Real life is taking lot of my time.

 

My main farm is the only one really doing the event and yesterday I milled 9 simple bags when I needed 9 eco bags.
I'm so far behind now.

 

Oh no, that's devastating. I had to check several times whenever I milled because I was paranoid about doing the same thing. I think the different types of bags needed to be more visually different.

 

Hi I have completed this event, Blackcaviar sorry to hear you have milled 9 simple bags , it a mistake anyone can make, sometimes need a good cuppa of coffee, also we all often playing this game with one eye open

i took my time with this event without using harvest boosters, but need to mill some more CAC for my barn

Fingers crossed for some nice rewards
