Hostile Takeover - Strategy

I don't think that pearl is under any of the shells! That weasel probably slid it up his sleeve without me seeing him do it!!

 

Servus,

No it isn't Even in the Hungarian FAQ about this event, our moderator wrote funnily, that if someone finds it, take a picture and will get a Fan-item from the Mod-team. I was soo excited, but later everybody realised, that we cannot win a Fan-item!

 

Yahoo ! I'm finished! It can be done
and that sneaky weasel is not number one !
The policeman duck has locked him away
And no more rent to him, must I pay

I used 2x2 fields on very long crops
and 600 supergrow to speed up the drops
and now it is FREE to visit My Mill
That Cheating Weasel was making me ill...

So come on, all farmers, try very hard
and kick that monstrosity out of Your yard!
I'm off for a delicious celebratory wine
that's been in My barn for a very long time....
​

 

Congrats davidb on finishing the event!!! I have also finished but that darn weasel is still charging me rent?

 

I am Now -13.800 on going to the barn and water tower

 

Me too, Brookey, and I'm not very happy
That rent charging weasel made me @*#& in my nappy...


​

I just sold 200 poo for 1080ccs each!
Poo, Gloroius Poo!!

 

My meany weasel jewel thief is at 7800.....I am not worried as it is a Fake Weasel....As we all been Duped by Farmerama Version of augmented reality. Even the weasel mini game is fake too.

Of all the Mini Games conundrum by Farmerama....This is the worse Mini Game ever reason why it is very expensive and hard to produce Bag of Jewels and we win nothing from this Mini Game. It is my most dislike part of this event. I rather just donate the needed items. Also do normally Milling of Animal Feed instead, than keep milling Bag of Jewels in between normal milling

As i said earlier i change my Farm to Animal Pens including a Menagerie too. That i have placed total of 131 Peacock Cage I: Yellow Pens. I use Two Cloud Row Animal Buffs when i can, Plus use Cheese Ball and Valentine Pot Craft using both Gold Slots...

My Findings....is I am able to get a good Drop Rate of Jewels harvest my Yellow Peacock Pens they take between 7h 30 mins to 8 Hours to grow averaging about 55 to 65 Jewels

The good news is there is no need to use Refinements or Refined Crops. As some of you have not got Refined Roses or Refined Carnations....

Alternatively, some of you have been using Elixir of Life and Source of Life Alchemist Crafts as Source of Life is very expensive to make or to buy in the markets these two only reduce Flower Crops by 10% it is very expensive 10% Difference But does it make a bigger difference in Drop Ratio of Jewels during Crop Growing time.

As you would need to combine Manure with Elixir of Life and Source of Life. As Manure is very expensive too ranging from 600 to 900 CC on my Market....!!

Therefore using my all Peacock Cage I; Yellow Pens i am able to produce a quick turnaround reaping better drop rate of Jewels within 7h 30 Mins to 8 Hours Compared to growing Hazlenuts, Rasberries,Roses.Carnations or Rose Buds... Using my Peacock Pens makes a huge cost saving which do away with Elixir of Life, Source of Life and using any Manure.....Guess what Each Peacock Cage I: Yellow Pens or Normal Peacock Pens both gives 3 x Manure per Pen.

I am going to Continue with this Strategy to the end of this Event. Can Sell all Peacock Poo Farming, Sell Peacocks for 10K Plus each, Peacock Manure for 600 CC + so it lovely CC Making Concept

If you managed to Mill Enough Trap Flowers needed to complete this event, which was my top priority, get them out of the way asap. Now i have no Further need to use CAC in the Diamond Slot. So i can resume back to Growing Eucalyptus Fruits in Bahamarama and Rain Forest..

Well Done to DavidB1yth007 and Brookeham for completing this event.... I only need 130 Jewels left to get to do the last 4 Weasel Mini Game. So i can relax enjoy this Event to Make CC

 

Decided to farm manure today. Here are the results. My total drops is sitting at 894, so with 54 hours left in the event I'm feeling quite comfortable.

Grown	Space Used		RF	Plantation	Main	Meadow	Glade
Chicken/Cuckoo	36/82 (2x2)				28	18	14
Sorghum	76 (1x1)
Parrots	82 (2x2)		29	24
Pinapples	?

As you can see my manure venture also gained me a total of 113 drops. I still need another two rounds of event crops, so I've got one going for tonight and I'll most likely just do more manure farming tomorrow (with longer pens to work around my schedule) and grow the event crops at night again since I don't really need any more drops. That should be enough for me to complete the event. I'm happy with how this event has gone, the long crops early put me in a great spot to do two days worth of manure farming, and I was able to spend a day knocking out most of my event crops. My total investment was very minimal, I'll have to tally it up and post in a final update sometime in the next two days.

 

Need another 20 drops my trusty pink calculator tells me
Will probably get those from the roses that haven't finished yet

Good luck everyone

 

Finally, just finished growing all my event crops with a little surplus but only have 418 drops, some thanks to my friends and neighbors THANK YOU ALL. That gave me only 10 bags to play the game and there are 25 games. Wondering if anyone can offer me some solid advice as to what to do next to gain 582 drops in the next 50 hours.?

 

I only need 105 more drops!! YAY!! Then I can put my trees and critters back out So if any of my neighbors read this please send my drops to another farmer who is struggling FamilyFarm, I used 1x1's all throughout this event as I always do and always get my drops. If you are using short term crops, try for longer crops. Trophies are at 29% and in the LL. Some farmers use pens and trees...I don't bc I don't feel like I get the best drops for my farms. To those who do use that method and struggle for every event, my advice is to try using 1x1's for one event and see if your drops improve for you. If the same method you use isn't working, try something different Best of luck everyone and congrats to those who have finished David, loved reading your poems It's been too long
Edit: Also, it can not be stressed enough that trophies need to be at least 25%. If they aren't, I strongly recommend that be a top priority. And to have the in the LL rune. That was probably my best accomplishment bc I no longer had to move them If you do have to move them, remember they need to sit on a field for 10 or 15 seconds for the game to recognize they are now on that field. I used to harvest my main field and then remove the trophies. Place them in my meadow and go back to my main field and replant and water. That way it's def enough time for the trophies to be recognized on their new field. Then just repeat for each field placing them back onto the main field when I was all done so I was ready for the next harvest.

 

Finished!!!
Just milling my last bag!

Please my dearest neighbours and friends: DON'T send me any jewels any more, as I don't need them. I would love to ask you to send them forward to somebody who really is in need of them!

Thanks to all, who have sent jewels to me

Wishing you all good luck, that you finish or at least achieve your personal goals.
Congratulations to all who managed to finish it already.

Happy farming

 

I too used 1x1s throughout the event but I started with long term crops to get the drops first, doing maybe one harvest of event crops per day and one longer term crop - only harvesting twice a day due to a (four day) working weekend. I calculated how long I had before I needed to start growing the Trapflowers (total requirement of just over 8 harvests needed using 4 fields with CAC).

I now only need 89 Shiny Jewels and will be doing event crops overnight now. Even with the poorest drop rate (7 per field/28 per harvest) and with the 5 harvests required, I should easily get the remaining drops.

Neighbours and buddies: please send drops to those needing them, I will shout out if my calculations have gone astray (it could happen!).

Good luck to all of us still competing against that nasty Weasel.

 

FamilyFarmNorth1,
read this thread...

and this thread...
https://board-en.farmerama.com/index.php?threads/general-event-strategies.10970/

and maybe read back a few event strategy threads. 99% of what you need to know is there.

Sitting here waiting for my morning harvest...
I have all the event crops now, except Farm2... because someone forgot the CAC!
Busy week so I'm glad I, mostly, only need drops now. Busy week and MM starts on the 6th, my busiest day. Good news is... I've finished all the MM stuff. Ready to start anew with new content.

 

Thanks for the reminder about MM, Suzee.

My first thought was - oh, and I wanted to put my critters back. Not second thought (way too quick!) but third thought - doesn't matter now that we have a dedicated MM field! Yippee!

This farm has finished all the MM FSQs too. Chevrefeuille dabbles with one FSQ at a time (and no events!) and baby farm just has a few trees and darkfly fireflies out slowly building up a stock in case I ever get bored!

Edit: Just got 39 drops (talk about random: 6,16, 6, 11) from four fields of event crops, leaving me needing 45 drops now. Definitely do-able! Catch up with you all tomorrow.

 

Done. The weasel is in jail. But still it is charging me rents. How nice.....I mean How terrible.

Thanks for all your support, dear friends. I think I will wait for few more days to come regain more of my coolness and also I have some heavy work to do and hence no time to search. Therefore I will resume after few days. If anything is very important I will let you know.
Thanks once again. Love you all and you all and the game and forum had become a part of my life and is a sort of family to me.

 

We couldn't have a better forum ...it's happy and helpful when we need it

 

Farming-family Rest/do RL and be back for the next family reunion, or event as we like to call it 12. We'll be here

Despite having tied my shoelaces while trying to run, I am back on track thanks to the SOS.

 

Happy to hear some are finished. 250 jewels to go for me.

 

I now have all my Shiny Jewels but nearly had a catastrophe with my crops! Lost internet this morning with an estimated return "not later" than 10.00 tomorrow morning!

Luckily it was a question of under-promise and over-deliver as it was only out for a little less than 2 hours. Messed up my plans but not too badly - had planted three fields and had only one bare field. So, barring disasters, I will finish the crops and the event today.

I will definitely do the same strategy in future. Apart from the loss of internet connection, this was a stress-free event even when I was working most of it!
