Strategy: Friendship Event: Party Animals!

How did you get so many drops SG?

 

I also had a pretty high initial drop rate. 227 with 3 fields of carnations and ginger on the Island, trophies maxed out and a howie on each field (too lazy to move them). In comparison I have a baby farm that only got 46. I had planted radishes (highest crop) and zucchini (also highest) with trophies at 13%.

 

Plantin event junks just like you all taught me.

And doing "The Friendly Juke Junks Plantin Dance" and singin too:

Ya put your right foot in
Ya take your right foot out

Ya put your right foot in
and ya shake it all about

Ya do the Hokey Brokey and ya shake ya self around
That's what it's all about

HOKEY BROKEY!!!

Ya do the Hoooooooooooooooooooookey Brokey
Ya do the Hoooooooooooooooooooookey Brokey

Ya do the Hoooo-keyyyyyyyyyy Broo-key
That's what it's all about!!

Sippin on a red punch running through the meadow like a crazy man


Ya do the Hoooooooooooooooooooookey Brokey
Ya do the Hoooooooooooooooooooookey Brokey

Ya do the Hoooo-keyyyyyyyyyy Broo-key
That's what it's all about!!

and plantin those junks

and watchin out for the farmwife too

 

If I remember correctly farmer_broke has a goal of having a farm on each market. IDK if that has been accomplished yet.


As far as drops go, I had 175 after 3 1/2 hours into event and they seem to be coming well with the event crop. I've completed the silvers on steps 1-4 and I'm just waiting on some cake to complete silver step 5.

 

Just getting home and just planted the first seeds...glad this event can be accomplished in the time given so I was able to enjoy time with mom and sister and did not stress about the event. Does that mean FOCD is cured? I did think about it but did not worry about it

 

broke - I'm sippin ice tea....and running around the house like a crazy woman!!! I've had unannounced visitors, a number of phone calls, faxes to be answered...and now have to run to a Doctor's appt.!!!
Doesn't everyone know Today Is the 1st of an event............when I need to build stock of event crop????? .....Geez!!! LOL

 

Yes I think there is a cure... spending time with family and friends!
but not with unexpected visitors ~Brooke

 

I got 128 drops with ginger, refined carnations and refined roses. Had to go with one field of roses due to workplace problems keeping me busy until it was too late for carnations in that one field. Drops with 1x1's on my first harvest of yellow roses on one field with CAC, EM, Spring Wreath, and Carrot Bread (with CR's) were 9.

Running a bit behind in drops, but hope to get going better over the weekend - no job in the way!

Pnp - So glad you are not stressing and enjoying your family! Family is priceless.
Brookham - Your day sounds like the way mine started! Hope the rest of the event is more restful for you.

Congrats to everyone getting a good start and hope things continue going well. Happy event farming, everyone!

 

i just found out about this quest. looking at the drops required i'm guessing i'm going to need help on this. please help if you can i will do the same.

 

Awww pnp...I'm glad you got to spend time with your Mom & sister!!!
Ariel - Yep...I'm not a big fan of friends dropping by unannouced and then staying for hours....but oh well....it was really nice to see her!
Willow - Do you get more done when you have a mile long "to-do" list??? I seem to have 2 speeds....run like a bat out of _ or slow as a slug!..........at least my "drop in girlfriend" brought a 6 month, cute as a bug, baby girl with her!!! It's been years since I've held or played with a baby!!! Too much fun!!!
I even forgot about planting yellow roses!!!
Now...back on track....planting, milling friendship cakes like a mad woman!!!

 

Doing a happy dance! Drops from yellow roses averaged about 12 a field on main farm, which was better than this morning. Also, I just spun the party wheel and got a 200% EP bonus for 24 hours!

Brookham - I may not get more done with a mile long list, but after awhile I get too numb to care!

 

plan will fail when accident come......a tired brain will let everything screw!

This week I need to get up quite early, so yesterday, I though I could keep awake
till midnight (0:55) for my yellow rose. But my brain tell me she is really tired. Even
I'm watching TLC (tv channel) try to keep me awake. but I just fall asleep.....
I wake up at 3:00am. What to do! Immed. harvest my yellow rose, replant it agian.
overnight plant. bye bye. It will be next day business

Just harvest my 3:00am plant yellow rose, drops now got 230 (2 from magic tree)
It will be much higher if I could plant overnight crop

 

@Arielh
203 Friendship Potions from 3 fields of carnations and trees on the Island, trophies maxed out and 2 CRs that improving the drop rate.
(thanks to JJenks for explaning them in her previous post and thanks to ms. -poppyseed- for trading Dinner Mice in previous G&T event).


@lostsoul2001
Your request would be much appreciated if you post here.


Updates :
I got 272 Friendship Potions now.

 

Timing is everything in this game. I have my Harvest Helper running for another twelve hours - oops. So instead of planting carnations overnight, and wasting all of those hours of help planting 1x1s, hope to get the yellow roses done first. (Who needs sleep?) So far the drops have been much better on the yellow roses than I expected. I am up to 291, almost 1/3 of the amount needed!

 

You are a Very Lucky gal Willow!!!! I never, I mean, never land on that slot on the wheel!!!! I'm so so so jelly!

Oh poor dnin21cent...you sound like this is a sprint!

Ahhh.......I remember when I was young, Friday nights...so exciting the school or work week done...the whole weekend ahead...go out with friends, dancing, movies or parties! Now I love Fridays....cause I can stay home and rest! Am I a fuddy duddy or what?

I have started milling lots of friendship cakes....so I don't have them all left at the end. In about 15 minutes will harvest another round of those gorgeous yellow roses("Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree").

 

for Brookey​

 

WOW! I have a mentor! Yippeeeeeeeeeeee! Just in time.

Only one field (thank goodness). I'll plant the event crop in the outlying 1x1 and see how far I get while I sell poop.

Poop selling is the only way to go for a new player with a new farm. Will be glad when my mentor helps me do stuff.

 

I started working on this event, yesterday was brutal at the work place. Drops are at 160 for me from my first harvest, will see how things go over the weekend.

 

davidb1- You are a true Prince! What a beautiful picture!!!! Thank you

farmer_friendly (Is that you broke?) - I'm jealous of your "new" mentor!!!

Back on subject...LOL...I've decided.... after waiting up for last harvest of those darling yellow roses... that I will plant a longer crop overnight to insure more drops. Seeing the gorgeous "yellow ribbon round the old oak tree"......has put me in a faaaabulous mood!!!

 

Yesterday had thousands of everything required so did CAC White innocence, Easter Marmalade and Pinkie Pie. 2x2 plots and supergrow till I had enough crops to do all 4 fields. Last night I planted ginger on Baha and Roses on farm as they each take less than 9 hours I was able to get another round of event crops done. I forgot to check how many drops I got from overnight crops but I had enough after morning harvest to put in to production 160 potions.

Today did CAC, EM, and Spring Wreath and opened the flower cloud. Depending on drop rate and neighbours I expect to finish fairly early. I have made a fortune selling rabbits, mirabelle plums etc on the market. This is a good event for me.
I notice from my own farms that not all neighbours bother with gifts. Please do, your contribution might just make the difference to someone being able to finish the event or get as far as they want to go.
Good luck everyone.
