Thank you one two....I was hoping to see this thread up and running SOON Glad you jumped right on itMy gray/grey matter is sooo full...I appreciate the smarts of helpful players
Looks like I will have to tear up my fields and put Soup and friends on hold for a couple of days
ALL THE BEST TO EVERYONE...Let's have some more fun

 

13410 crops. 168 hr cooldown period. Hmm, no thanks.
I'll be doing a broke and selling manure!

 

See the influence of broke.

 

Ohhhhh...I missed that AniE168hrs = one week = 7 days...
Works out to be about 7714 EP (daily) and 1428 CC's (daily) and 4 stars per month (28 day cycle)
Things that make you say hmmmmm.....

 

• I've cleared chicken feed a couple of times already just to run up the price.

One-Two, all you told us was crops, fruits and animals. Could you be a bit more specific as to which ones exactly?

 

I fear the random ghost It will be my undoing.

I did some rough numbers and with some real life, no sleep-farming etc, I can have the reeds done in 4-ish days with cac. If I clear all lands ofc, which I won't as I need my trees. Dogs and trees..... Without cac I figured it would take me closer to 5 days, so I should be good with trees.

Donate Animals ? really ? I hope it's chickens. I can do those, and Farmer Broker will be swimming in CC, win-win

 

If I name them, will you turn to be a crop farmer ? and promise not to compete with our Queen Meba, in the market. Imagine a junk growing event attracting the curiosity of broke ! I do not know where farmerama is going these days ! In those days......

Anyway let me not spoil your eagerness. I will not name the crops, trees & animals . You have to use your brain to find it out. Ok. Ready? Here they are. Take page one of seed list. From first crop in the first page to the last one in the second page. So crops are finished. Go to your barn and go to animals list. From the first animal listed to the last one. Now we have finished with the animals. Ah, what is left.... Yes the tree fruits... Go to the tree fruits list in barn, from the first fruit to the last.

You won't need animals, crops or tree fruits from bahamarama. This is what I have heard. But anything might be changed in the last minute.

 

Uh Ohhhhh ..... "use brain" ... ...... big problem already

 

The goods requested and their amounts are predetermined ... I don't like the sound of that
Think i am going to sit this one out ...my farm can make enough CC's by selling things in the market if i need them ...or from cloud rows more then what is probably being given

I have a star giving cloud row from the chocolate factory ..that gives the same as this one

Only thing i like on the FAQ is the power feed and i could probably get those from FS quests

None of it is worth the things in my barn ...or makes up for the time it has taken me in earning and making these and get enough EP & Tep EVERY day

Sorry Farmerama ..... You are not offering enough incentive for me....My barn is staying as it is.

Now If that lime stone was for making a new Land or Orchard ... then i MIGHT just change my mind

 

***************
We need 1050 drops. There is 2 days to prepare our farms for best initial drops.

 

My strategy is to pass on this event. It seems like another barn clearing exercise and I really do not like random. The cloud row is not spectacular enough to warrant the chance of low requirements, and it seems you have to do ALL the event to get it (or have I missed something).
So to sum up: I do not like random, I do not like drops and I do not like clearing my farm to grow junks.

 

The crops are easy enough- clear fields use cac no problem
Its the 1000 drops that scare me.
I really hope they are plentiful. I don't have a cloud row that gives stars
so even one star a week is good for me. I love events, all events- Can't wait!

 

I am not sure if I will participate in this one on this farm, Chevrefeuille maybe, but this farm has not got enough harvester functions (and few BBs to buy them) to last the length of the event so may just give it a miss ... if I can!

SOS thread up and running (errors and omissions excepted!):

SOS A Step in Time Drop Items/Limestone

Good luck as always everybody!

 

Helloooooooo BP..............!!!!!!! When are you going to get the message??????????

THIS IS A FARMING GAME - PLEASE LET US KEEP AND DEVELOP OUR FARMS!!!

Or at least be more REASONABLE about it!
Many of us like to BUILD our farms - as one would do in RL - and do not appreciate having to DESTROY all that hard work and RL$$ just to 'enjoy' an Event.

 

I'm undecided as to whether to try some of this event. I'll only have 1 full day that I know I can grow crops, and possibly 2 partials, then we're planning on going camping for a few days. I'm thinking seriously of *gasp* skipping this one and making CCs instead (soooo close to 100 million, just need a little extra push, and to stop shopping in the market). I might try harder, but honestly, the prizes aren't that great to me - what happened to the mystery stables and secret seedlings? PF is always appropriate, and I like the party spins, but I just don't think I have a realistic chance of finishing, and would rather devote my fields to future events I should be able to fully participate in. I have a reindeer pet so I already get 1 star a week, and while it is a CC CR, the rate of return isn't worth stressing over. We'll see what FOCD demands of me, lol. Good luck to all going for it!

edit: In looking closer at the givers, it might be worth it to go for just the 1x2 Ad Victorium and the 2x2 Upward Mobility. Ad Victorium gives 2600 CC every 10 hours and Upward Mobility gives 2810 EP/TEP every 10 hours, which equates to 36,400 CC and 39,340 EP in the same amount of time it would take the CR to cool down once (assuming a harvest of twice a day). And, no need to get the CR or donate animals.

 

I am not sure, if I will participate.

This one looks almost like the rascal ride one.

If we really need all steps to get the CR and the givers, I think I will skip it.

a) my barn is just at 1000ish crops each
b) Treefruit are just 100ish
c) animals are only a few in there after the BBday

d) and most important my hubby is at home on holidays and we don't want to spend all the time in front of the PC.


Happy barn-emptying farming to all who participate

 

Another barn burner ................. yheeeeeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Thanks One-Two:



Open up those barns and let um take what they want...... yheeeee haaaa

 

Will be sitting this one out. Will be on road traveling from Florida to Alaska and may not be able to log in so don't want weeds. Will stick to growing animals and enjoying my new pink camel and hippo pens. Good luck to all

 

predetermined qty come back
this time....
BP give us something new...
the reward of EP/CC also "predetermined"

So, once I finished a level,
I will guess next level, what BP want from me as well as guess what BP want to give me,

Will I do whole event
undetermined!
Who know what crop, fruit, animal that had "predetermined" by BP want from me..
So I will undetermined to give a answer
