    Thanks Meba! I owe you one!

    I knew something wasn't right. Now what will happen when we do finish the right side and get upgrade#2 ???

    *scary*

    At least we now know for sure:
    #3 is left side
    #1 is middle
    #2 is right side

    And it is possible to place #3 upon #1 and and and .. *eeeek*

    ROFL xD Yes, I did refresh and this is what I now have in my inventory o_Oo_O xD The third is gone! And the second is sitting on the first I think glued together FOREVER!!!xD

    Edit: Another second upgrade showed up in my inventory.

    [​IMG] So I got two of them and lost the third one.

    Hrmph! No panic please. Giver upgrades do work that way (it's like the culinary jury, that one won't split up either).
    You should be able to place this one on field.

    What we not know is how it'll act when we get upgrade#2 from the right side and will/will not be able to place it upon this one. Will it stay upgrade#2 or will it give upgarde#3 afterall .. only time will tell.

    Hold on .. I re-read..
    so after placing #3 upon #1 you get #2 and after removing that single #2 from your field you get TWO #2s in your inventory, while you expected to get #1 and #3.

    uh, the good thing is you didn't have ANY #2 prior to the test? :)

    I now wonder if you can place both and/or if it's possible to place one and upgrade that with the other.
    Guess once we find out it's about time to post a message about it in the tech board.

    I did have the second before this xD Look at my screenshot in post 72 if you can see it:p
    I couldn't place it.

    Edit: Sorry I answered a little too fast. I was in a hurry:). I can place them both, meaning I now have 2 second upgrades. But I cannot place the second on the first. I hope I get my third upgrade back! :music: Not that I will ever place it...but I did grow a lot of junks to get it!

    Thanks again meba. I know understand you already had a #2 from 2012 :)
    Ah .. I bet that one was there just to add up to my confussion about all of this. Although you can't place it, it's been good for something ;)

    Thanks, lots of good stuff here. I'll review it carefully in 3-4 days. No hurry hurry here. Will surely finish as long as I can put up with the junks growing. Thanks again.

    Still fishin while junks growin. "The Whale" took the bait holding a listing of 800 mice. Next I wanted "The King of The Sea" or "The Mermaid. I baited the hook again with a listing of 1,000 mice and "The King of The Sea" or "The Mermaid" took it. So that leaves one of the two left. Now I baited the hook again with a single listing of 1,200 mice.

    If I catch this one then its on to the search for "The Prehistoric broke-A-Monster." And I'll bait that hook with 2,000 mice.

    Catching a few Shark with hooks baited with 500 Cuckoos.

    As barns empty more of feed and more wish baskets I know it's almost time for the chump change to start rollin in from the feed.

    The event is turning out to be a nice meal for the Market Lion Kings.

    Event finished!!

    I wont be able to play after tomorrow so I had to use 2000 SG to finish it asap.

    A couple suggestions from my experience

    1) Look always at the hands of the monkey queen. You need to know where to place the basket before the prizes start to fall down. If you dont look at her hands, it might be difficult to get the prize you want. Some prizes go over the screen (can't see them) and you need to be ready for that. Besides, there are 3 scoreboards at the top of the screen that may block your sight.
    Sometimes two good prizes come out at the same time, like SG and CC (need to pick one in advance), but I have never seen PF and GB at the same time.

    2) Keep the mouse steady. During the game the pointer is invisible and you may go off the screen.

    I played 100 times and this is the outcome (more or less)

    - 55 GB
    - Around 120 PF
    - 1.1m CC
    - 3.7m BEP
    - 2.1m EP
    - Dozens of SuzySG, SuzyTM and SG

    Note: I made the 2500 points after 40 rounds. And I wasn't aiming for the candies.
    So no worries about the baskets. You will make it!

    Thanks, escalonilla! I now know that I have plenty of candy baskets (87) and hope that my neighbors will send paper strips which I seem to be short on in spite of putting in longer crops overnight.

    -.- I'd rather get entrainment of this type by throwing 50 bucks on the table a say let's play scrabble winner takes all!-.-

    I got all three bears, Thanks-to G&T, just needed bear 1.
    Ok, got all three in storage, take bear one out place on field the park... then 2 the field goes haze grid, and it will not go on top of bear one.o_O
    Then take all three bears out to the park and trying every combo, 3-2-1-, 1-2-3, 1 on top of 2 every way and them things will not go together:sleepy:
    Anyone else? or is it me?

    I have finally got the remaining Paper Slips to Mill the Last Needed Paper Mache to Get Monkey Queen Unlocked. I Started of with 82 Candy Baskets.

    it too me 35 Candy Baskets or 35 Attempts to get Combined 2500 Candy Points to unlock the Last Reward. Therefore you will be needing about 35 to 45 Candy Baskets to Unlock the Monkey Queen Rewards.

    My Strategy was Firstly get as Many Paper Slips on First Harvest. Grow 15,000 Amaranth ASAP. Get the Remaining Paper Slips as soon as Possible. But I did nuke some refined Carnations using Supergrow, Which helped me Gained More Paper Slips Sooner. Which Help me unlock All Three Parts of Float as soon as i can.:p

    My Objective was Put out as Many Stables as i can as soon i no longer need any more Paper Slips. As you do not need any more Paper Slips at this stage...But you do need as Many Candy Baskets as you can as there is no limited to playing the Mini Game. As i have Loving it so much as it is giving me so Many Golden Bananas. ;)

    Just Loving it when it is Throwing Golden Bananas at Me. As you can see from Escalonilla Posting I am getting more or less the same Rewards. But Monkey Queen is Throwing Power Feeds at me too. :D

    Using 1 Candy Basket does not give you opportunity to win an Golden Banana at Every Candy Basket used. You can win up to 2 Golden Bananas in one Mini Game. Mostly it is one Golden Banana sometimes there isnt a Golden Banana :)

    As Regarding to Power Feeds i have won 6 Power Feeds in one Mini Game, Sometimes 4 mostly 2 Power Feeds, some times there isnt any to collect into Basket ;)

    Objective is to get 2500 Candy Points First using Mixture or Lollipops, Chocolate Bars and Bonbons. If you have Plenty of Candy Baskets then get more value rewards as you can.

    When 2500 Candy Points is Reached, Continue the Mini Game but avoid getting any Candy, This is what i intend to do during remain time left of this Event. I have put out all Stables to get as Many Candy Baskets as I can. Also at this Stage get your Buddies and Neighbours to send you Candy Baskets only !!!

    This Event is most rewarding Event i have ever played in terms of Golden Bananas, Power Feeds, Super Grow, Suzy Super Grow etc

    Hey Broke I hope you are doing this Event as I am Planning selling Golden Bananas at 1,000,000 CC with plenty of Golden Bananas in Reserve. All These Power Feeds i am getting certainly will make me richer during Breeding Events xDxD

    The is a Small Glitch in Mini Game as you need to scroll your Mouse Gently from Right to Left as Basket may freeze for a Moment as soon your Basket goes to the left side :p

    Mooboy, I knew you had it under control. You know good and well I'm not ignoring this event. And not rushing either. Hate growing all this junks and have about half, less than half of the paper, and about 140 baskets. My prediction of drop method is accurate so I'll get to it. I'm glad you are doing well with the event.

    My use of EV analysis enables me to see this event as only a piece of the puzzle. Over a year ago I asked Moderators to clarify an aspect of the trades: suggested market value vs EV. The EV analysis method indicated the need for such. (You would be amazed at what it allows one to see if one understands EV analysis and uses it properly.)

    Keeping an eye on the complaints, the trades and particularly the Alchemist continuously surfaced. So developers knew it. The effects were visible from the craft products themselves to the animals to breeding to specific crops and event to events. I know you read the letter to the community it was I believe. In that letter there is a simple paragraph near the end of it referring to changes in the crafts and what do you know but the alchemist is mentioned. But all is not so fair to all players though, not yet anyway. The method even can explain the reason for certain product price drastic increase as well as crops. Here is something quick for you to consider:
    • There is no convient listing of all craft items with an EV and the amounts yet there are a few that do have the. In each trade the basic products have EV and the others do not. Except ...... the alchemist .... all have EV.
    • None of the items are saleable and there is no need for a suggested market value. (But find the EV .... haha ... they exist. Not fair.)
    • Where can the EV be found? ..... go to your barns and under craft products they are listed if you have them. If not then one has little clue if any.
    • Sugarcane called for recently .... crafts
    • Cinnamin called for .... crafts
    • eggs ....
    • honey......
    • violets....
    • wheat call .... affects the bakery not saleable EV item.
    • tulips called a while back to begin the adjustment process. Used in crafts again!
    • strawberry ...... crafts
    • pigs called .....used in truffles
    • truffles called ..... crafts
    • remember the paint pallette call long ago and the prices?
    • No call for paint pallets today but look at the price rise ...... alchemist
    • Brown pigs called for..... relates to pigs and the truffle chain (look at the feed)
    • goats milk called for a while back .......... crafts
    • Guano ..... crafts
    • Scan the list of the alchemist crops .... prices rose steadily and it was clear as well as the relationship
    My reason for asking in maybe Nov last year was because if a call is made it will most likely be by EV. Now that is simple. But where is all the information? I know you can see it clearly from your barn and the level of your crafts tells me you can view this information collectively and easily.
    • Developers have given the opportunity for players to receive drops from workshops. We have had the chance! And there are good benefits through this event.
    • Would you look at the number of paint pallets required by the alchemist? amazing! And little bother with turkeys recently either but the tree fruit used it feed was called hard.
    • apples....trade ...... surely in a base confectionary item with an EV and no market value and apple jam (saleable but no EV)
    • Why would there be such a steady systematic increase in ostrich eggs as well as ostriches and feed edging up... crafts again!
    • The sharp increase in movement to work on the alchemihe trade is clear.
    Mooboy you know I don't take the trades seriously but just throw stuff at them. Weeeeeeeeeeel in recent months I must admit to taking some a bit more carefully and strategically selecting the items to produce.
    My support can go on.

    A general craft call would not seem to prevent the contribution of nonsaleable but EV items unless specifically excluded. (No problem for market players. We just sell the crops. One sure should master playing lettuce and a couple of other cheap crops though because it's all the same. Each to their own though.)

    Nearly all of my basket drops were received from workshops and specific ones. Review the alchemist products and you will see why and which ones. Glance at all the trades.

    And this is another reason we maximize trophies: we have a greater chance for an increase in drops. We either get them this way or we will pay RL funds to do events where items can be made using them which is pretty clear to be on the table in the developer offices.

    The effects are flowing all the way through the peacock chain and the anaconda chain. (Both threads were started as separate threads prior to this event in order to set up disclosure of this information ...... and what do you know but here's the event to make it clear. EV analysis aided considerably in seeing specific effects.)

    You mentioned gerbera and paint drops .....gerbera craft product crop ........ paint ........ needed for paint palletes ...... needed for alchemist. A refine exists for that crop with paint drop increase as you know.

    Neither of us is big enough to play all items affected and we must each pick and choose. I read what you write and it is clear to me you have refinements in areas and so do I (but I hate growing those junk crops.) High level crops are affected too and I know you can have several key ones.

    I think one should consider growing and producing items for this event a lot more strategically with an increase in attention given to the alchemist! I'll have to grow in a day or so for paper but you can bet I will be doing it strategically.

    The big cc opportunity to gather is gone but there is still a little out there and appearing. That last month growth spurt of something for this farm is long over. Happy trails to those who choose it or cannot help but to do so.

    Sorry for the disorganization of all the information. Hope I got most of it.

    Final note: When I asked my question to the Mods, I was given the best information they had available I am certain. My experiences with them allows me to feel certain that no information available to them and approved for release is being withheld from us as players.

    Off to check the line with the mice bait.

    -----edit------
    Mayor Mooboy, I don't know when! I doubt it will turn into a another humble pie meal for developers as further damage to credibility serves no profitable purpose for BP, but salt and suger and mandrakes or whatever sure will. hahahaha
