The Eggs Factor Strategy Thread

Well, here we go again. I added these figures up twice but they still come out the same:

12,000 Blue Wild Indigos - can be grown on Main, Meadow and Glade

and, are you sitting down?

2,200 Easter Pendants - but, thankfully, they will drop from all all five fields - phew!

Will just pop over and create the SOS thread:

SOS The Eggs Factor Event Drop Item/Easter Pendant

Good luck everybody!

 

Another item for our Candy Surprise Cloud Row is also there. I am hoping I can just do the right hand side and get it then I won't need to worry all over Easter about drops. Family here so only able to farm once a day.

 

12 000 makes for 5 full harvests + a bit more, and we need 367 drops for each day - auch, auch auch auch

 

Unbelievable! "Well, here we go again"(illy1996) with the huge numbers!! Events used to be fun.....but it looks like BP is just not listening to their own feedback threads.
I'm giving this one a PASS - need a vacation from all the stress of Crop/Drop!!
My actual F-a-r-m needs me!

 

Thanks illy. So much eggs???? Maybe we have to throw some at the screen (while painting) to get some more.

Did you notice the 10 000s?
10 000 needed of cress, wheat, carrot, Hay and lettuce! And 250 of apples, walnuts, plums, mulberries and pears.

That is quiet expensive.

 

FAQ suggests donating the 10k crops first to maximize your rewards. So...much of today will be spent growing those. I have that in stock but it will take me below what I want to have on hand for feeds and artisan products (carrot bread).

 

I didn't notice that, and I sold a bunch of that yesterday. I must cac today, grow huge numbers (and crop) and become rich, RICH!! Mwahahahaha

note to self: Don't let greed push the EFOCD out of the way, must not forget the event

 

Drat drat drat! I should've come read the event info before planting more pumpkins. I was really hoping for something other than yet another crop n' drop event. If it wasn't for those yummy GB, I'd be sitting this event out entirely. And while I'd like to say that I have the inner will to do so.... I'm afraid I suffer along with Moraine in her EFOCD! Not to fussed about the CR rewards this time around though, so if I don't finish I'll be alright with that. Probably.

 

Nothing wrong with having an inner will, as long as it doesn't come out - that totally messes up the FOCD. I had put out pens all over the place yesterday, feel horrible to pull them back in again after 24h. But that's what I'll do. I've cac'ed up for days now. Grow and throw that's the order I'm going for. If I throw first it will hinder the growing part, so 1. grow, 2. throw - Repeat

 

Thank you Illy for the Maths

The rewards aren't that great for the amounts needed
And am bored already with the repetitive growing of 5 lots of 10000 crops
We used to have easter events ....This event has nothing to do with easter ..which I find is a bit sad and a little bit weird

 

Oh boy, over 2000! Our farms will practically have to be raining drops for this one. I hope they're planning to be good to us with the drop rate.
For newer farms, remember that those high 10,000 crops, 250 tree fruit totals aren't imperative to completing the CR. They are good to complete, to increase EP, CC and gain some extra prizes, but not mandatory. So do all, some, or none- but if you plan to donate to them, remember to do those sections first to make the most of the rewards in the main section.
For those growing their own stuff today (like me!) remember the CR that gives +1 veggie for the cress, carrots, and lettuce. With CAC you'll get roughly 1000 per full field, making it pretty quick to achieve those high numbers, especially if you use 3 fields. Tedious, but surprisingly quick.

 

I've put in comfort fields for the short grow crops today. Just waaaaay too much clicking for wheat, carrots, and cress. Got the veggie cloud row going. Oat bread going for the wheat.

 

I just realized I don't even have 10,000 watercress Don't ask... I don't think the drops will be a problem. Since it is a holiday weekend for some of us, I am counting on drops being good(hint hint, BP) As usual I am going with 1x1 plots. For those who have struggled in past events using trees and stables, how about switching it up and try something different? See if you have better results. Off to work on that watercress Good luck everyone!!

 

Thanks illy1996. I have put workshops & trees on outer edge. Let's see how much drops I get. I am more concerned about event crops.

farmer_broke has joined TOP 10 (billionaire) CCs. Great work broke ! Congrats ! I knew you would make it.

 

Well done broke ..must have been that lettuce I sold you that helped wow that a lot of CC's

 

Hey don't forget to give out your morning harvest drop rate and on what. let's keep track of this and see how fast they start screwin with drop's

 

I wondered why crops had sold out on my market. Think I'll get the item for the candy cloud row and then just enjoy the Easter holiday.

 

with so many drops needed, I hope they come like the eggs in a 12 pack

 

Thanks so much for the figures illy. Happy to say I had bought cress earlier, plus having a barn full of the other items. That is a lot of short crop donation!
Fields in rose hips and honeydew, with a few choice trees along the edge. Blessings to all for a decent drop rate this time!

 

It is not going to easy to do this Event for any farmer, as it collides with Easter Festivities.

Blue Wild Indigo is a 6 Hour Crops. It is durable if farmers are able to reap these event crops during Breakfast, Lunch and Supper Time. Grow long timed refinement crop overnight to Boost better drop rate.

Those who are happy to do part of this event to get the Cloud Giver and some few prizes. It is a good idea to use Comfort Fields, if you unable to access your farm during Easter Festivities...

We can use Bahamarama and Rain Forest to get as many drops as we can. Since i have the CAC i will stock up on the New Baha Crops, as Tiki Timer helps on all Baha Veg Crops.

The Flower Cloud Row and Alchemist Buffs on Baha Flower Crops Helps Boost Drops too. I will post during this event to see if i am getting good drops this way

I have made some Millions CC Selling Wheat, Cress, Lettuce and Hay. As we need 10,000 of each. But those who have the Harvester can Grow 10,000 of each in no time really using CAC
