Strategy for Neon Stables Event

Let me just say thank you all for doing the math on this one! I need more coffee before I can even begin to sort through what it all means but when I took a look at the FAQ first I was very discouraged. Leave it to the higher minds though to break it down and give us non math inclined mortals hope.

 

To those who thinks it looks daunting: Go for the Neon stables first!

These will be permanent in the game (my guess is that they will also be tradeable). This is a one time chance to get them cheaply, later you can build more, but you'll need a golden animal and a huge pile of wood (I am always short on wood). If you don't really want them yourself, I am sure you can trade them away for something great in the future.

After getting the neon stables you can then decide if you want to continue

 

As some of you old timers know, my math stinks! But, I did try some calculations. Can one of you smart people check my math and reasoning. I tried to do a simple calculation to see how many regular animals are need to complete everything. This is what I came up with.

3600 regular Chickens
1250 regular Rabbits
1662 regular Goats

I added up all the donations needed per the FAQ then divided it by the EV number on the animal screen in the barn. Please, let me know if I have miscalculated.

Per, the numbers above, I have more than enough in my barn to complete the event with out spending a CC or using a PF, but I like both Aluntino and Broke's thinking.

Maybe, if I breed a few regular animals to the next level (Aluntin's strategy). I can maximize my donations with the fewest actual animals. This would allow me to sell my excesses (Broke's strategy) so I can buy me a new Pink shiny something or other.

Thank you to all you smart people! Good Luck to all. May everyone reach their goals, and may the skips be with you!

 

Well looks like I will be only going for the Neon stables as we have our annual party this week-end and will not have time to finish event Good luck to everyone!!

 

Sorry sglick, but your numbers are off, maybe you forgot the 6th step for the cloud row? Anyway, SillyGuy provided some numbers earlier that I think are correct

 

Thanks Mir! This means I will definitely have to breed to the next level and no selling stuff for big profits.

 

The massive head cold I woke up with this morning is not helping me sort through all this. My take away at the moment is that I don't have enough of any of the animals and need to put out more stables. I've only been using my colored stalls that past week or so but now it's time to pull out all the regulars.

My other take away is that if I have upper level breeding animals it's not really helpful. I've got flying and rambo goats and snowy rabbits is there no way to utilize those without wasting them?

 

Hi LDCrow I'll be using a flying goat/snowy rabbit for the 6th step. Yes the EV exceeds what is required, but I think it is still cheaper than using lower level animals. The mini/flying goat/snowy are relatively cheap in the market since they appear frequently on the farm wheel (at least for party spins)

 

All the numbers are nice and show a basic use of EV. If one cares to complete the event efficiently, NONE of the information alone is useful. WHY?

They ALL completely ignore the second step in EV use and that is the Cost to EV ratio!

If one DOES NOT play the market or whether one does, the results to complete will not be the same.

If one has a beginning inventory of the lowest level breeding animals the results will not be the same.

If one has a beginning inventory and wishes to trade in the market then the results will definitely not be the same.

 

Like I already said in my post, cost to EV will have to be evaluated later, when I see how the market prices turn out when BBD is running.

 

You are mistaken Mir!

Cost to EV should be evaluated FIRST! And FIRST in regards to what is presently in ones own barn and how it was acquired. Especially if one DOES NOT play the market and has some type of inventory the Cost/EV Ratio is even more important to consider.

I am taking people's ccs now because they will not do it now and are unlikely to do it LATER! And I'm not giving um back!

 

Ok farmer_broke, I think we are talking about slightly different things

If you have a big inventory and want to sell part of it and keep part of it to donate to the quest, then yes of course you have to evaluate the cost to EV ratio first to decide what to keep and what to sell.

My inventory wasn't all that big, and I just decided to sell the lot (for chickens and rabbits), or at least the yellow and orange animals. I expect the price will go down a bit during BBD, then I might buy some back, but I will also breed more myself. So during BBD I will decide, based on the cost to EV ratio then, what to donate, what to sell, and what to buy. This cannot be evaluated now. That is what I meant, but didn't express clearly enough.

 

Just logged in now, looked at the FAQ and thought and looked here and you fabulous people have sorted it all for me! I can't see myself going for the CR, but I do want those neon stables.

 

Hi,
Now I am sure you's knew I would be over this one it really needs math.
So, thank-you SillyGuy, my heart dropped when I came on and read the event.

Now, just to be sure, please, I have:

For the neon stables
1200 chickens, 501 rabbits, and 555 goats.

But now I run into issues, I don't have the basic animals to go any further so need:

This is all I will need? 1 flying goat and 1 snowy rabbit?
Really? if so I got them, but really must say thank-you for this Mir85, you saved me a headache.

When I get the bay open <vary soon> may move them, but right now I need the cloud row to place them out.

Thank-you strategy figuring peoples your time is really needed. Thanx for giving it.

 

For the last step, not for all 6

 

Yes, I think I understand Silly guy did math for 1 to 5, (For the neon stables
1200 chickens, 501 rabbits, and 555 goats.)

And you did 6, 1 flying goat and 1 snowy rabbit.

I am just amazed I got it, and have to check to make sure, a bit unbelievable I stocked the barn rightumph, well anything right for that matter.

 

Almost. OK, so you have/had some inventory. If the cost/EV ratio was considered BEFORE doing anything the outcome would have been a little different I'm sure. Now that is ideal so now you STILL can do it and salvage the best outcome from your barn and your efforts.

Say you have definitely made up your mind to do all of the event. Use the best estimate you can remember of an original inventory item and get a ratio. Try and fulfill the requirements for the event based on what you have while using the item with the LOWEST ratio. Only then can you efficiently play the "what if" game with yourself as to what to breed IF EVEN NECESSARY.

Once you have something to work with ONLY YOU may decide whether or not you wish to engage in exchange marketing, to what degree, and whether it is worth your effort.

Before all this selling began one other variable surfaced. And there the real complication begins. What is the future direction of the game, the breeding market specially?

 

Keltic the neon stables are on level 3

 

I got to go figure this out thanks

 

Oh Geez Mir and Broke Talking about EV Evaluation.... In My View Since The Neon Stable FAQ came out the Price of Chickens, Rabbits and Goats All have short up in price some of them already doubled in Price...Also Goat, Chicken and Rabbit Feeds also all gone up in price too.

Therefore EV Verus CC Price of Chickens, Rabbits and Goats plus EV Value of first Four Levels of Breeding Animals of these Three Animals too. Has to Be Evaluated in Real Time due to Trends in the Market Triggered by Neon Stable FAQ !!!

All This will start to Change when Baby Boom will start as you will be getting Less EV Per CC When this Happens. For Example Chickens now selling over 1000 CC ...I am Selling Scaredy Rabbits at 90K Almost Twice of Price of Silky Being Sold in the Market both are 2nd Level Breeding Animal big Difference in Price Scaredy Rabbits is selling 4 times as much as Black Goats in my Market

Therefore it seem shortage of Breeding Rabbits to add to the Fact many Breeding Goats can be brought much cheaper compared to buying Breeding Chickens and Breeding Rabbits. I have a hunch that when the Neon Stable Start it wont be long before these Breeding Chickens, Rabbits and Goats to Fall in Price.

Also of My Above Posting you do not need that many Breeding Animals to Complete this Event. But 1200 or 5400 Chickens, 501 Rabbits or 2252 Rabbits, 555 or 2495 Goats Sounds Hell of a lot they have very small Exchange Value but Selling for Lovely CC in the Markets Right now if you did your Sums you would be donating over 10,000,000 CC in Exchange Value on Current Prices of these Animals in the Market if you sell the equivalent amount of these Animals sold in the Markets

But I did Calculation but if you Buy Equivalent amount of Breeding Animals to complete this Event in Current Market Conditions the Cc you have spend in terms of EV for this Event at least less than 5,000,000 CC in Exchange Value. If you use Tactic to grow as many of the Critters as you can and sell them for big Profits. The Profits you have Gained can snap up any Breeding Critters needed for this Event for a Bargain but have to wait until The Frenzy Part had slow down due to Farmers Completed this Event selling anything surplus they have Fraction of the Current Costs

My EV Value is During this Event not Before or After This Event !!!
