Each player will receive one of each mill items at the start of the event.

There are 3 prize charts :

1- Number of lines played (ie mini-game)
2- Filled Requirements
3- Total cumulative points

To get the cloud row and givers, players must create 70 lines (cloud row + Boin!Boing!BOINK! giver + Cauldron Caunundrum giver) AND create a shape with x30 in it (Monster Mayhem (+) giver). To fill some of the requirements a minimum of 20 Green O oze, Orange Furball and Blue Bob must be placed on the boards as well as 10 Chew Tows. There is no requirements for placing Purple Slime, so milling some is optional.

Here are the numbers:

Get the cloud row + givers: (playing 70 mini-games)	Complete the line prize chart: (playing 80 mini-games)
3525 Jade Cat Eye Blooms 3525 Amber Cat Eye Blooms 3525 Lapis Cat Eye Blooms 828 Monster Brushes Mill 20 Green O oze Mill 20 Orange Furball Mill 20 Blue Blob Mill 79 Chew Toys Mill 69 Monster Biscuits	3905 Jade Cat Eye Blooms 3905 Amber Cat Eye Blooms 3905 Lapis Cat Eye Blooms 948 Monster Brushes Mill 20 Green O oze Mill 20 Orange Furball Mill 20 Blue Blob Mill 89 Chew Toys Mill 79 Monster Biscuits

These are the minimum of event items needed to fill two out of the three prize reward charts. The third one, the Game Point Reward Chart, asks for a cumulative total of 562500 Game Points to get 1 Crocodile Newt Habitat.

There will be an Event Chop that will require Cherry Coins:

Cherry Coin

You will receive 1 x Cherry Coin with each breeding process completed from the Mammal, Fish and Arthropod categories only! Used to purchase goods in the Event Shop.

Offered, 4 upgrades available for the Tractor Heaven giver sold at 40 Cherry Coins per upgrade. The strange thing is that the event itself will not reward Cherry Coins, only breeding of some animal categories will! A minimum of 160 Cherry Coins will be needed to get the 4 upgrades. Also a second copy of the each giver can be purchased in the Event Shop for 90 Cherry Coins each.

Also, some to fill some of the requirements from the Prize List Rewards, players must get some Monster Carriers:

Monster Carrier

Available from Event Baskets, Event Shop or Rewards only!

This can be used to remove any symbol from the board. Once removed, the tile will be cleared, and symbols above it will drop down to fill the gap.

The Monster Carrier is not required to get the cloud row + givers, it will only help with the filling requirements for the Prize List Rewards.

Good luck everyone!

EDIT 1:

Milling the Monsters could be skipped following this rule:

Connect at least 5 of the same coloured monsters to add 1 to the inventory. Use it to swap it with another monster on the board.

Players get 12 rounds on one board before it switched to another one.

 

Northy, thanks for starting the strategy thread and drilling down on the FAQ for this.

I'm not sure what BPs end goal is here, but I'm pretty sure happy farmers is not on their list of objectives.

I'll do what I can. Hoping for at least a baby boom in the coming days.

 

I have no idea how you did the sums, Nordais, but i was very glad and relieved when i saw your post. Thank you very much!

I'm in hoping for not only a baby boom, like PM, but for a HDD.

Wish everyone good luck and fun!

 

I count that I need 931 cherry coins for the items I want in the event shop. There are other items I may like but that is my goal. which translates to 1862 power feed plus 3724 animals needed for breeding. That is a lot for a non breeding event.

 

I've added the milling of 20 of each of the three monsters only because they will be of great help for the x30 shape and well as to create lines and other shapes. Also I added 10 Chew Toys to fill the request for the "place 10 Chew Toys". It is still a huge amount of event crops to get from 1 Bahamamara land!

I just saw that we do get 1 monster if we link at least 5 monsters of the same colour in a line. That could mean less event crops (but not that much).

 

As always, Nordais to the rescue! Thank You! I will attempt the 80 mini games and see where that takes me as far as getting points and other prizes! My goal is to have fun and enjoy the mini game!Good luck to all attempting this event!

 

Thank you, Nordais, I couldn't even start to work out what we needed!

I am away at the moment and will be with family over the weekend so I will just grow as much as I can and try to play catch up for the rest of the event. Anything will be a bonus, serves me right for going on holiday (again!) - but I do want another Crodadile Newt Habitat!

Good luck all!

 

Thanks Nordais for deciphering monster event!

It seems BP has taken this event and really twisted the mechanics of it. I am happy that we have the opportunity to get 2 of the givers!

Good luck to all! ​

​

 

Thanks, Northy...so amazing how you pull all this together and present it in a very succinct and clear manner. That said, I am skipping the event and wish success to everyone working on it.

 

Guess we'll have to either wait for a baby boom (might be an unadvertised one) or we breed anyway. Which I did this morning - just harvested the breeding hut to see what I got. What I know: rabbits (which is what I had in this farm's hut) and octopi (which is partly what I had in SL's hut) both give the cherry coins.

 

I also harvested my breeding pen not sure what I had in there, sloths and tigers for sure and crocs (don't think I got anything for them lol) but anyway I did get a good amount of cherry coins and some monster brushes. So I put another 112 in as I like to leave some empty just in case I need them for the City missions at night ! Good luck everyone

 

I'm thinking in two parts towards the tasks... or 5 parts...

1) I like brain exercises

2) There's a lot of everything and it requires calculation and a bit of time when you can't play without grinding

3) on the other hand, even an unemployed person has something to do

4) U.S. Open TENNIS and the game times in "Europe" are from 6 PM to - 05 AM so there's something to do at night for the weak sleeper while watching TV...

NORDAIS - BIG thanks!

p.s. I wonder if that's the most demanding task, exactly 30 stitches into the chain, the chain itself is not counted, do it this time, it's the counting that makes the one-off right! FINALLY, I did it, I didn't have to do it again...

5) the points for that task always come in handy where the entire outer circle is done with perfectionism in one and the same "ork"!

Not even mentioned that Happy Hour...
perfections is do it EVERY plant or nothing,
lot of green stuff, made it last time also...

 

Thank you Northy, I'm in. Good luck to all participating.

@Brookeham Love your monster mash signature/image!

 

I'll do what I can as I will be traveling Sat-wed, so it will be probably cherry coins from breeding mostly

 

So SL's farm played a few "rounds"...it's weird. You play until you leave and you have to leave if you want to mill more monsters, rope toys, etc. Sneaky they are. Very sneaky. I think if we can mill a whole lot of monsters and dog toys and then start up the mini-game, we can do a lot of damage with very few cookies

 

No we don't get it.
