Labor of Love Event Strategy

Doc425 I'm no guru but I recall a wise line: when it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.

Guess they messed up the numbers.

 

I checked the German FAQ and it's different - says cake is 165 ep, 400cc and delicious gift is 685ep, 160cc, so who knows?! Haven't checked any of the other FAQ to see which is right though; sure our mods will let us know when they have a spare moment.

 

Thank you both. I hope they let us know soon.

On another subject. I grew up on a farm where we raised hogs, (pigs), horses, sheep, and cattle. In later years, after I left the farm, whenever a bunch of us would drive past a dairy, or feed lot all the city folks would hold their noses, close the windows, and go, "Ewww that stinks.", to which the country boys would reply, "Hmm hmm. That's the smell of money.". The markets the past few days have sure proven that to be true with the prices manure has been going for.

 

Doc, that is what my Grandpa used to say, "Manure is the smell of money." I always said Peeeeuuuuuuu.

 

Hatzeva as I did mention in my earlier Posting That i did use Comfort Fields as They gives Twice as Many Drops than a Normal 2x2 Field. As Mir85 Correctly Guessed I did use Howie Donuts as I used 5 of Them too that why i was able to get 40 Love Poems Every Time Nuking my Carnations.

Not to Mention that having Refinement of Carnations Gives better Drops than Refinement of Roses. I always prefer using Carnations than Roses.

The Chestnut Cloud Row Gives you 5% Effectiveness on Supergrow but only last 6 Hours. Some of us are Fortunate to have this in Cloud Row by Completing Chestnut Festival 2014 Event. Without this cannot get instant Harvest using Supergrow. I explain How it is Instant harvest using Super Grow.

• Chestnut Festival Cloud Row 5% Effectiveness on Super Grow
• White Innocents Gives 10% Effectiveness on Super Grow
• Growth Boost Rune Makes Super Grow 60% Effective
• Fruit Cake Gives 5% Effectiveness on Super Grow
• Sub Total Effectiveness on Super Grow adds up to 80% Effectiveness

To Make up for Remaining 20% Effectiveness on Super Grow to Achieve 100% Instant Harvest is either use

• Super Grow Love Refinement of Roses (20% Effectiveness)
• Super Grow Love Refinement of Organic Cotton (25% Effectiveness)
• Super Grow Love Refinement of Carnations (25% Effectiveness)

Add any of these Three Refinements to Super Grow Buff Formula, Will give you Instant Harvest. There is no Need to use Water or Manure or any other refinement to Reduce Crop Growing Time on These Three Refined Crops

But for Those who do not have Chestnut Festival 2014 Cloud Row. But do have Party Ticket Magic Cloud Row Which Gives a Reduce Time of 10% on All Flower Crops. It is possible to Nuke Crops Times down to withing 20 Mins or so using Refinement of SG Love on Roses so you are Able to Reap using Comfort Fields Every 20 Mins or So.

• Activate Party Ticket Magic Cloud Row (Gives 10% Reduced Time on Roses/Organic Cotton or Carnations)
• Growth Boost Rune Makes Manure 10% Effective
• Water Reduce Growing Time by 20%
• Growth Boost Rune Makes Super Grow 60% Effective
• Use Early Bloomer Refinements (Roses/Organic Cotton/Carnations
• Use Water Love Refinements only on Roses or Organic Cotton

I cannot give you a Rough Estimate Growing Time using Roses/Organic Cotton or Carnations since i have more effective Nuking Tactic using Chestnut Cloud Row, which can be used every 96 Hours. During an Event lasting 6 days or so this Chestnut Cloud Row can be used twice to take Advantage of 6 Hour Window per Cloud Row Activation

I hardly use Super Grow on 2x2 Fields except for Nuking New Event Crops Seedings or Use it to Nuke Refinements to Boost my Flow of Drops. It helps to speed up Completing an Event. That the reason i use this method so i cannot get Bored or waiting for my Farm Ready to Be Reap or Lovely Jumbly Harvest Time

 

baw, the market prices of manure the last few days should prove to you that your Grandpa was a wise old bird after all.

 

Yeah, got that only after refining the things,
My question is: what comes close in other plants? I am working on crop circles as the instant only applies on my farm in instant not for you, not here not there not anywhere.

You's all been here since the 1st sheep bounce in that wheelbarrow... any hints? I would like close to or as good as it gets for you's without instant in the farm. Please?

Oh should add without using anything, as MM gets all my outside 1st 10 seed events super grow.

 

Without using super grow or manure your best option is crop square (not crop circle). Refinements and water reduce the time from 12:42 to 6:33. If you have the flower cloud row, there are a few high level flowers that are slightly better (Lady's bedstraw, oranje tulip and persian buttercup), or approximately the same (snowdrop and aubretia).

 

Thank-you Mir.

I thought I read circle good...great now my eyes are as good as my gray matter, I need a pop yeah a pop.
Flower row got that one.... I think I will make fun with the bees I see lots of flowers on the farm lots and lots again thank-you now to go buy squares, circles why did I see circles !?!

 

Mooboy, which is the Party Ticket cloud row? Was it an event prize CR? I'm not sure if I have it or not.

FINALLY finished on spots, got the last of the needed poems and crops, and gave that greedy panda his cake. Felt like shoving it in his face. Will use up last of crops to mill extra love letters and gather a few extra goat gifts, I think, maybe. I also think the gifts were a little blah this time, being mainly EP/TEP and coinage, tho CC always good. Of course, after the generosity of the monkey queen, everything else is a bit of a let down, lol. Did actually get a GB, some valentine's pots, some CAC, a few PPP, and an extra giver of both the panda and the cat. That's why I'll feed the goat. I'm hoping to get the extra giver from him too. Will switch fields to mice and other rodents tonight after CAC runs out.

On bearbabe, still plugging away at getting the poems, tho should be done with crops. Not horrendously worried, only need 19 delicious gifts, which would mean 76 love letters, which should be 152 poems if I did the math right. I've got asparagus in now, will put in carnations tonight, gotta think by tomorrow night I'll have all I need, as long as RL doesn't interfere.

 

LOL! "It's not unusual to be loved by anyone"

 

Bad, DBAYES, bad, now that song is stuck in my head.

 

Is anyone who's done continuing to grow the crop/gift the animals? Trying to decide if it's worth my time or if I should just be satisfied with what I've got.

 

cool I need 3 more poems on this farm to finish started to put trees and all my baha trees and animals back out my bad lol I need 7 more poems

 

Be satisfied and think ahead for upcoming events Spots... This event was a resounding Thudder. (that sound a semi full (and wasted) can makes hitting the trash can)

 

Think you're right, banjo. Will finish what flowers are in the field, then it's time for the mice to play!

 

@spotsbox, I am still growing, there's nothing else to do...but did put out a bunch of Mice for the new breeding event on the 22nd.
@baw815, Ha Ha...I love that song!

 

Did anyone notice they switched the value of Heart Shaped Cake and Delicious Gift in the event FAQ? Now the value of the left over items makes sense.

 

23 more cakes to finish the event - can't wait. First time I've ever been tired of cake! Also, have one field producing mice and collecting manure for extra cc! Congrats to those finished!

 

I'm Done!
