Fall Festival III

Well, sewinglady's farm is still hanging on in the top 3000 this morning. By this evening that farm will drop off the list. Done donating on all participating farms. Got all the goodies I care to garner from donating spare breeding animals.

 

I haven't figured out what I need the Lattes for. Are they for people aiming to crack the Top 3000? None of the booths ask for them.

 

After the disappointment of missing the top 500 last year, I have not learned my lesson and am back for another try!​

I have spent all year with my 23 super-grow trees out and after using some in some events, I had 47563 available which I have just used to grow 3.93million instant amaranth. It took me 2.5 hours and I was getting net 81 per comfort field for the first two hours and then a +1 ended, so net 80 after that. Multiply by 1250 (amaranth value) each SG yields 100,000 to contribute to the cause! I had 2.7m amaranth to start with and have donated 1.7m plus a few wheat to make the total all two's!
I hope to be using smiley emojis as time progresses with (groan) 100 hours to go...
Edit 1: Oh, dear, this is scary! Still over three long days to go and the pace is already on... I thought I was well prepared, but so is everyone else!
Right. That is the negatives out of the way. Let's get on with it!
Edit 2: Two days to go... I might get grey hair out of this. Oh, wait....
Edit 3: One day to go... My barn has a lot of air in it!


Final Edit:

​

 

@davidb1yth007, Here's hoping you reach your goal and we here at EN will be waiting to see the smiley face! Good Luck!

 

I have finished on this farm and ( ) my two baby farms will finish the main part of the event and then stop!

I am only continuing to grow the event plants as they are on the event field with the intention of making the Lattes and see how I get on - nothing lost really. I got a great pile of Crates with the first 27 so I am sure the contents will come in useful somewhere later on!

Good luck all those going for it albeit reluctantly fighting their Harvest Event OCD!

 

Help wanted.
I need cinnamon sticks for stall in Fall Festival but can`t find them in Farmers Market for me to buy with Country Coins.
Are they not available to buy from sellers on Farmers Market for this event ? If not, a great shame for those trying to complete part of game.

 

Hi MisterMustard. You get cinnamon sticks as drops from crops and trees on the three main lands and the three Baha lands. Good luck!

 

Thanks birdiesaunt.
I`ve got cinnamon sticks from drops but not enough so wanted to buy some from Farmers Market but seems not available.

 

Drop items are generally not available in the farmer's market.

Sewinglady has fallen off the list. I am not going to donate beyond lattes at this point.

Northy is still hanging in there around 1700... Go NORTHY!

 

The only way to buy cinnamon sticks is buy purchasing event baskets, but the prices vs the gain you would do is not worth it. You've just started playing this game, just be patient. In the last few hours of the Harvest event you'll see tons of donations being made which will push the lower limit of the top 3000 beyond the majority of players.

 

Thanks Nordais
As you said, price to buy event baskets vs gain is not worth it.
Shame the drop ratio - even if all fields and plants/trees are used - is remarkably low compared with other event games; i.m.o.
With little time to go, don`t think I`ll be able to complete final stall. Still gave it a go and I`m learning.
Great to have some informed players to help me out. Much appreciated.

 

My friend and neighbor Brookeham has been sitting in the 700+ range on the list. Go Brookeham!

 

Oh I am definitely living up to the name of this farm. On Sewinglady's farm I have gone and done something dumb. I doubt it will survive, though. The last minute dash will surely knock it off the list completely. And just so y'all know - it was almost all high end breeding animals. BP had to go wave a discount day and baby boom around...and that farm has completely finished all (and I seriously mean ALL) the breeding quests, so what's a farm to do but toss them into the blackhole that is the donation bin for this event...

 

Does anyone know if the value of leftover lattes is +/-/= to the value of the ingredients? I did the three booths and stopped. Still growing the crop and have cinnamon sticks and pumpkin juice which could be milled if it's worth mill time. Thanks for anyone who is more adept at calculations than I.

 

mill the lattes. They are worth far more than the value of the constituent parts.

 

Once again, I took no notice of common sense and after finishing the first part of the event, I am still growing the crop and collecting the drops on all three farms to collect the goodies along the way.
I am nowhere near the bottom of the Top 3000 so it is all just for fun ... isn't it?
Good luck all those entering those dizzy heights!

By the way, I am only contributing event items (from both events) and have converted to 1x1s to maximise chances of drops.

 

All the converting numbers at the end of the event listed in the FAQ are:

• 1 Fountain Grass = 800 CC;
• 1 Pumpkin Juice = 12000 EP + 16000 CC;
• 1 Cinnamon Sticks = 1200 EP + 1600 CC+ 1200 TEP;
• 1 Pumpkin Spiced Latte = 53820 EP + 71760 CC + 53820 TEP.

to mill 1 latte it requires : 6 Fontain Grasses + 3 Pumpkin Juices + 6 Cinnamon sticks:

• 6 Fountain Grasses = 4800 CC;
• 3 Pumpkin Juices = 36000 EP + 48000 CC;
• 6 Cinnamon Sticks = 7200 EP + 9600 CC+ 7200 TEP;
• Total for all componants of the latte: 43200 EP + 62400 CC + 7200 TP

So you can see that milling and holding the pumpkin latte for end of event conversion is better. Usually the same logic applies to evenry single event.

 

If you donate your milled lattes and other event items to Top 3000, you'll receive:
1 x Crate O’ Fiery Trail I or 1 x Crate O’ Wealth or 1 x Crate O’ Fertilizers II or 1 x Crate O’ Romance III.

Really good crates.

The requirement frequency will get bigger on high equivalency levels

 

*WisdomTree* is right tho, better to give the lattes to the event, reward crates are part of the best ones. The interval between crates are multiples of lattes (1-2-3, etc), you can accumulate them and the give just the right amount to get to the next step.

 

I'm about to finish the last of three booths. I'll mill lattes with what I have leftover, and call it quits.

Tonight I need to bake Turkey Day desserts, and tomorrow I hit the road to visit family. I won't have time to worry about my last few harvests to squeeze another crate or two.
