Strategy: Fireside Stories

FAQ Fireside Stories​

I will try my hand at this thread, though please tell me if there are any errors, I checked it once, I checked it twice and I've been really nice and not naughty all year!

We can grow all three plants on the Meadow and the Baha Plantation:

Marshmallow Bush (6 hours) - 5,905 (plus 824 for 4 S'mores required) = 6,729 in total
Candy Cane Calla (5.5 hours - 6,905
Slipper Flowers (4.5 hours) - 9,555

Cookies - 100 (plus 620 for 4 S'mores required) = 720 in total

Drops of Cookies will come from the Main and Meadow fields.

We need 4 S'mores which require 206 Marshmallow Bushes and 155 Cookies each.

The last step (10) is not necessary but only requires 205 Marshmallow Bushes and 100 Cookies which are already included above.

Me, I am going to concentrate on the Slipper Flowers as we need more of those - I will plant these in the Meadow. The others I will probably alternate in the Baha Plantation. Well, that is the plan anyway, who knows!

Good luck all!

 

Thank you @illy1996 for coming up with numbers. Just a little error with the Marshmallow Bushes, it's 6729 (5905+824).

I have mixed feeling about this one: cloud row is not that great (Crate O'Buff III is blech) and I don't like a hard 24h cool down on cloud rows (with the hour changing it becomes a pain and harvesting things with 24h always means pushing the harvest time by a few seconds each day....). The givers are quite nice tho.

Good luck everyone.!

 

Thanks, Nordais. I had the right number but didn't type it in correctly - lucky you were there to pick it up!

I only harvest my CR once a day, no matter what time. I cannot be bothered with making sure they are all lined up. Too time consuming! I'm the same with the EP/TEP items - I harvest them, might miss some but I will catch them the next time.

 

Thanks Illy and Northy - great tag team, you two!

I shall sit out this one and cheer on everyone from the sideline.

Btw, for all who have Season tokens remaining, be sure to cash in soon as Season ends in 2 days!

 

Thanks illy for starting the thread and for number crunching! I will be doing the event hoping to do it totally!
My plan is to use Baha for the 4 1/2 hour crop of Slipper Flower as we need 9,555 of those and then focus the other 2 crops on Green Meadow. Happy Holidays and good luck to all!

 

Ugh. Really? Green meadow and baha plantation?

I'm in on this farm and sewinglady's. Might do this on dumbunny's. Not sure yet.

Off to plant long overnight crops and move things around on baha.

 

YES with drops from crops and trees on MAINLAND and GREEN MEADOW only! Good luck!

 

Except for the piccolo that can or cannot be a good prize, the rest is not that great, but I'm in for the whole thing.

Hope the weekend missions have better prizes and wish everybody good luck!

 

Its near - to be first event "not try it at all" in several years, over 5 years 100% sure... Do in this time 28000 Crocus to get 80 red probeller.

No need to gift me !!!

 

I found a stray howie in my inventory on this farm and on SL's. Don't know how they got there. Weird. Anyway, they are out now. Hoping that helps with drops, not holding my breath.

Put amaranth in on main fields.

 

I decided to go all out and get this one out of the way. Cloud row up and running. Now I can concentrate on the weekend quests.

 

I grow
then throw
Spend no dough
That's how to go.

Four in mill
Then chill.
That's the drill
Lacking in thrill...

You gave me the idea to check my Barn and there, hiding in a corner, was my one and only Howie so I picked him up, hugged him and put him out on my Main field.

 

Okay, something weird. Is level 10 supposed to be repeatable?

 

It repeated for me too (I got 5 extra crates) as I had things to give it but then I stopped! If I remember right it wanted Marshmallow Bushes and then Cookies (drops)

Finished this event and CR up and running! Cute event, But dislike running from land to land!

 

I have enough Cookies and have milled the four S'mores. Crops are coming on nicely with a few blitzed with SG.
No need to send me any more Cookies and thanks to all those who have.
Good luck all!

 

I personally collect boxes until the end whenever I get 100 drops. The event plant quantity of 205 marshes is such a small requirement that I even grew them in storage to wait. I've already got several boxes waiting to be opened at once.

 

Main farm is done (oh how I love having 4 Jack O'Gift givers!), baby farm is slow going tho. Yes level 10 is repeatable but is it worth it?

 

I have the extra crops on SL's farm, so as I reap the cookies, I'm using up the marshmallows and getting the crate until the crops are gone. Why not? The crops don't turn into anything of great value at the end.

 

Yes, not a single Event plant planted (check that year 2010 was my/our first year, there is BD-gift-cake-giver with Year 2010 in it)! Total zero-week playing events BUT many thousand Crocus made to Quest-needed "only" 28000 to get 80 Super Crow (green)
