Back to the Past strategy

event finished just a few minutes ago.
CR up and running.

Congrats to all, who also finished and good luck to the ones still fighting. There is a lost of time left for it!! You can do it

 

CR up and running thanks to a 24hr harvest bonus! Used only 2x2 squares on all fields. Nuked starter seeds and one other field early on. Used roses to complete limestone drops. Soapstone came with event crops before completion. A little rest time, .

 

I have finished on 2 farms and evidently can't add on pnp. Not only do I not have enough crops to donate, but even if I plant all that is remaining (thought I was going to be right on the nose), I will still not have enough. I have 2 rounds to do in order to finish and only discovered the error after I planted long crops for overnight. Sigh. Good thing we have another day as I will need most of it to recover from my blunder. I still have no idea what I did wrong. I know it will be fine but just gutted right now....

 

Oh no, PnP! But yes you still have time, and I'm sure you'll get it done

 

Another one on the stalk.

 

So sorry Pnp! Blessings to you!
Last Baha crop in and only 12 soapstone to go! Almost finished!

 

All done! Despite working all weekend, the God of Drops was good to me!

 

Event finished earlier. CR up and running. Easy to do which makes a change from last event.

why did they have to focus on my least amount of animals in my barn to donate?????? time to re stock.

Keep going guys there is plenty of time left to complete you can do it

 

I just finished this event! CR up and running...it is sooo cute!
Congrats to ALL who have finished and Good Luck to those still going for it! You Can DO IT!

 

Finished on spots, still working at it on bear. All crops are done, still need 135 limestone to finish India, then bear will be done too. Shouldn't have any problems, I don't think; I put in refined carnations with Elixer of Life and the other flower buff, plus flower CR, and have enough time for 2 harvests of same. If I get at least 30 drops per field, which I usually do, then presto finisho!

Just a quick survey of those level 97 and up. Do you find you get better drops from carnations or rose hips? I assumed rose hips would be better because they take longer, but carnations overall still seem to give me better drops results. Just curious what everyone else's opinions are.

 

Hi spots- I also thought the same thing about carnations vs longer crops from higher level crops. I do get great drops from the higher level crops (longer) but it is not until level 121 (four leaf clover) that you get a crop that has a higher barn value (for donations) than carnations. So...with buffs, refinements, flower cloud row, etc, carnations remain a top contender to donate when we are asked for main crops.

Edit: sorry spots, I got away from your question with talk of BV instead of drops. I think rose hips and carnations give me similar drops but if I really needed drops, I would use carnations instead. Why? Because you can refine carnations. Though both crops have alchemist buffs to reduce 10%, carnations can be refined for further time reduction and rose hips cannot.

 

On this last day, I'd be able to finish if not for the low drops on soapstone. No matter what I plant, long growing or not, not enough soapstone. I have plenty of limestone, just no soapstone. If I had all of crystal falls open, I probably wouldn't have this issue but haven't been able to open it all yet. I won't make it to the CR but I'll go as far as I can.

Congrats to those who have finished and good luck to those still hanging in there!

 

Finished (finally)

 

Finally finished with 15:55 remaining. First time in a while that I had all the drops and was waiting on crops to harvest. This was due to my error or harvesting with buff active.

I like it when you don't have to be perfect and can make a mistake and have time to recuperate.

 

Finished on all five farms.

Mooboy - I put in 10 CAC and a Pinkie Pie and got 234 hours - perhaps the 200 hours is before PP is added?

 

All done. Cloud row up and collecting goodies.

Most of you know I keep all my stables and trees up during the events. I proved a couple of years ago that once your farm reaches a high enough level it will support growing for both events and FSQs. The drawback is simply the time it takes to finish the event. To me, finishing the event is the main thing, not the time it takes to do so. So leaving my farm as is helps to further my main goal of FSQs.


Congrats to all who have finished, good fortune to those still trying. If you're close you should make it.

 

UPDATE on me... well i got my CR up and running.... yay!! after i made my last post here... it got to the point i was worried about my limestones, then i ran out of event crops on mainland... i dont know what happened there... but went to planting them and trying to get limestones from different crops...the work had paid off...

Now back to what reg farming i can do till next event
Keep going to all who is trying... I pray most of everyone still trying can still get it.. I also want to say i am sorry for not offering gifts from my alts... just been tied up and feeling kinda ill... but always know this.. even if i don't post always ask... If i have the gifts.(most of the time i do).. its first come first serve... always.. I will try to be on time next time...

my other accounts wont make it..... drops is whats lacking badly...

 

I so agree with you nim! Just finished, even after missing a couple of days (but needed Labor Day today!). So grateful to all who helped me with the limestone. Seems there are less people involved in this thread than before, but what a great group! {{{{hugs and kisses}}}}

 

I can't believe I'm gonna finish! As always, I was short on drops, so still growing some crops to make it...
And I got asked for donkeys repeatedly.... after the neon donkey event..... so, yeah. My luck. ;u;
Still, I love this kind of event, so happy I could get the CR!
Congrats to everyone who made it!

 

Congratulations to everyone completed this event!
