City Tasks

I'm so sorry what happened to you. Jarrow was a difficult place for me too. If similar things happen to me, I plan to write about it so that other farmers can have an easier and less stressful job.

 

I also want to point out that KittyLover has also confirmed that using the Instant Tree feature does NOT add those tree fruits to the Masterclass total. I found this detail in the Technical Issues thread and have tried to link it here. https://board-en.farmerama.com/threads/masterclass-orders.49890/

 

Unfortunately, this happened to me; due to my lack of information, I had to start my tasks from scratch.

 

Can anyone explain what the phrase, " Use 3 products" in the city tasks daily tasks means. The FAQ says consume not use. I don't know what or where this applies.

 

bobchat I read somewhere else that you must fill three slots with products. you can use thre silver slots with carrrotbread, pretzel and winter wreath for example

 

I can't recall if I had that one before, but if I hazard a guess, it might apply to Edelweiss Valley/EV. Use one of the tree or crop products. For each tree/crop bed we can use up to three types of booster. I hope this helps; if not, then hope someone else has the answer. Good luck!

enk52, saw your post just after I added mine. Do you think this is one of the newly introduced tasks? I just began a new set of MasterClass tasks and am waiting to see what they all are. Recent MC tasks have been saving the most challenging for last!

 

I can confirm that it is activating three buffers in the diamond/gold/silver slots. By pure chance I was awarded to prize for that daily task just by activating my morning's buffer routine.

 

City Tasks: Use three reward crates. Completed when I opened three crates in my inventory.

City task: Use 4 Super Grow on any playfield. (I used four on my Green Meadow, but it did not register until I changed fields. As I moved from GM to Main field, the pop-up popped up)




Glad we have this place to share info as I find the wording ambiguous at the best of times

Tasks may be easier for me since I'm skipping most events due to RL demands. My routine centers around City and Master tasks and I have flexibility with how I arrange my fields.

Update: Moving forward, I will edit this post to keep all my comments in one place. Currently at 30 weeks.

 

Thoughts, tips, observations...

The task to use manure on a specific field can be completed by going to that land then heading over to the market and selling the required amount of manure.

The use 3 products can be completed by using 3 products to level up any of the buildings in the Artisan's Village as well as using them in the buff slots.. We might be able to sell them in the market as well but I haven't confirmed this.

I'm still deciding if I want to continue with the daily projects and the master classes.

I am on Masterclass project level 3, project 3/6 and know this cycle is a loss.
Project 1- Fill breeding shed 10 times (20) power feed used.
Project 2- Use 8 party tickets ( I'm not trying to get bonus for an event so I conciser this a waste of 8 party tickets)
Project 3- Harvest 8 Emu (16) power feed used. (actually 18 PF since I usually add 1 extra breeding because I have gotten skips before.)

The prize for completion of the 6 steps is 8 party tickets, project steps 4,5,6, will ask for barn stock, animals crops, fruits through orders or quest steps or use up resources, SSG,SG,TM. So really nothing gained this round but a lot lost.

Getting the newer stables was nice ( Trapdoor Spider, Hoopee, Baba Yaba) but not sure when the next "newish" stable will be offered and maintaining a Masterclass level 3 to be able see the offered prize is wasting to much stock and resources at this point imo.

 

These daily "chores" have grown tedious for me.

The final one for this farm's "Masterclass" tasks is to harvest 14 pottery on the rainforest. Often, I am in a hurry and I get the fields confused - planting or plunking on the green meadow when the item calls for the magical glade, and vice versa. There's just too much going on in my head at any given minute and I just need to slow down and carefully read the task to get all the requirements, but no, I rush ahead...and goof it up.

 

I always get the converter mixed up with making wood etc. Some of the language doesn't translate well.
I'm still enjoying City tasks and master class. It gives me a goal when I've already finished an event.

 

I am still enjoying the Daily Tasks/Masterclass. My least favourite are those in Edelweiss Valley. But I have tried to plan for the one I really hate - the 78 Slipper (?) ones. If it happens at the start of the Masterclass, it means I don't have another "get out of jail free" card. So, I have accumulated enough seeds to grow over 100 of these so I am ready - this will be my one chance.

Today, the Daily Tasks gave me 8 BBs and the Masterclass gave me 15 BBs so I think it is worth continuing. My current streak is 22 weeks!

 

@illy1996 You are likely aware, but for anyone who doesn't know, Boletus crop in EV gives a harvest +1 benefit to any crop planted on the left and right. We need to open the crop rune with a badge. I discovered this last week when I had to harvest Bluegrass and harvested an extra crop when Bluegrass touched a Boletus plot. Even one of the seeds touching one of its neighbors, adds the benefit to the entire 4 squares/plots. We can't use direct buffs on crops or trees, but they can benefit from weather or +from other sources.

I used to plant all my crops in the same row starting from left to right. I think there's a strategy to be learned and am alternating crops to try to get the max benefits of each. I don't have time to do a deep dive, but if others discover something, please share.

 

Also the sparkly badges (can't remember the correct name) can give some + benefits for a certain amount of time, if you open what I think is a temporary rune. Haven't tested it yet, doesn't seem logical on first sight but maybe somebody already has.

 

Yep, I have 15 of each trees/crops from an event. One shiny badge gives either a harvest or reduction in growth time in increments of 4hrs. If I'm not mistaken, we need to activate before planting. If that's the case, have to be careful not to plant something that takes longer to harvest than the cost of one badge. I've not used any of mine, since I'm not in a hurry, and holding onto them for future use.

 

I had a city task today that asked to fertilize 1 a;pine crops. I tried several times, never worked so had give up as I was down to wire (no time left) so had to switch to another task.
/any suggestions on how to complete this???

 

So sorry that happened to you. It is really frustrating. I think I had this last week. If I remember correctly, I clicked on three different newly planted crop plots (mine are usually 4 squares in one 'plot', but I don't think it matters. Then I selected one of the three options (left, bottom, right). I did that three times. It did not register, so I moved from crop area to tree area and then the task popped up as completed. It didn't register while I remained in the crop area.

I have one this morning to 'use three products' - using three buffs in Diamond/Gold/Silver slots worked. That tip was shared above by enk52. I am so glad for that as I had no idea what 'products' meant. Thought it was something to be applied to stables, trees, or crops!

 

Hi all, I have a Daily task that says "craft 1 stables or stable upgrades".

I have gone to Factory in city and got a stable - did not work
I have put a stable on my main farm and baha and then upgraded it to orange - did not work

anyone have a suggestion of what else I can do to solve this puzzle.

Thanks.

Got it...Hooray....
Went back to Factory and got a Yellow Chicken coop and it worked. So it must be Main Farm animals only.

 

Thanks MeadowCrossing! So if I;m reading correctly, I have to individually put manure (or whatever it's called in EV) on the crops then go to tree section for it to register. What a pain!!!
I really do not like the city or masterclass on EV....the wording is confusing...maybe translation issue.
I wish some smart/ clever person could develop a key to refer to use for city or masterclass tasks for EV.

 

@Brookeham yes, but EV works differently than other game area and the manner to add the products is different. Took me a while to get used to it, and I rarely use that feature. When I have time, I enjoy exploring the new to me ways EV works but it's a slow slog and not everyone's cuppa. I think most players prefer the challenge of events so EV seems like a chore rather than a pass time.

The wording is definitely ambiguous but for my current RL situation, it's oddly parallel as I'm struggling to learn a totally new language at a rather advanced age

One of my sons uses Claude and I have found it amazingly helpful...but never tried it for game use
