Septemberfest- strategy thread

Septemberfest FAQ
SOS Septemberfest items/ Chef's hat and apron thread
20th of September 2017 - 26th of September 2017(at 14:00 CEST)
Playable on the three main lands (main, meadow, glade)
Difficulty: Medium/Hard
Current time in CEST time zone
​

Total requirements
We need 2.645 order points. So this means 77 Chef's outfit if we get the correct combinations in each mini event.
To mill 77 Chef's outfit we need:
308 Chef's Hat
385 Chef's Apron
11.550 Mountain Bluet

I am not sure I have the correct numbers because this event seems a little bit confusing. Please tell me if I am wrong so I can edit my post.
And I am not sure we can get all the correct combinations so we will probably need more crops and drops.
Also it is stated in the FAQ that Every player will receive one Chef's Outfit to try out the mini-game. I have asked if we will get order points from that game so if we do the numbers of crops and drops might be different.

Ariel - my numbers correspond with yours

Since we get a free outfit, we will need 304 hats, 380 aprons, and 11,400 crops

This event will require balancing and some patience with flexibility to avoid frustration. The drops for hats and aprons come from trees, stables and workshops so that is what I will cover my fields in for the initial drops. The standard long crop we normally use to prepare for events will not be the correct strategy for this event.

I'm sure we will see a combination strategy for this event...
Suggestions: leave one field in pens/trees for drops, get all crops out of the way and then chase drops, or plant crops during the day with stables and/or trees overnight.

I know a lot of successful farmers who grow crops first and then worry about drops. This is fine (minimizes CAC) if you typically get event drops easily. However, if you are still building your farm, this may leave you with excess crops and unable to meet your goals.

I typically try to balance it as I go as I always aim to have no event crop leftover.

Good luck!

 

Thank you Arielh, and pnp, for your time and your numbers! I now know I will need to grow at least 11,400 crops if I am very good at remembering, or more if I am not! It is a beginning!
Good luck and "Happy Farming" to all!

 

Thanks both of you. Drops amount seems to be normal. But let's see what their drop rate is.

 

this one is another event like the cake event.
I need to work with my phone >>>>>> To take the picture of order
So the wooden Ladle is not a must for me,
the tricky of this event is the drops need to mill come from tree, stable &workshop
Not from the event crop that you grow!!!
Sad that I do not read carefully before I plant my longest crop on Comfort field.
I know my drops will not be good. But glad that I always farm as a mix type farmer.
I still could got some drops.

 

And it appears to me that drops and crops are all "3 main lands only."

 

My strategy is not to do the event at all. Please any neighbors reading this, do not send drops. I will send drops out if you tell me you want them.

 

I did really well on the last event like this, so I'm in.

Thanks Arielh and pnp for the numbers

Good luck to those attempting this event.

 

As I always do in this kind of event, I'll work with the computer screen split half for the farm and half for the paint. With the print screen I won't need accelerators, like the wooden spoon.
As far as the drops, I'll try a balance between crops and trees, at least at the beginning. Let's see how it goes

Good luck to all!

 

Thank you Ariel and PNP for the maths
Hmmm that sounds good flower ..will try that

 

I was about to rip up my stables and workshop when I noticed you guys talking about not dropping from crop. Thank you to those that reads the faq and scroll through and look at the pictures. Especially thanks to Arielh and Pnp for the number crunshing and statring this thread. I'm in - ofc I am in, sanity has not got a hold of me yet.

On a side note, is it just me or is the CR a bit meh ?

 

Okay I'm feeling stupid. Flower, what do you mean by this? I need every advantage I can get, with the orders flashing by.

Moraine: I had that feeling too. Glad to know it wasn't just me. What's the big deal with the pretzel anyway? May be best to collect winnings and not worry about cloud row this time around.

 

haha good thought too! I actually thought working like Flower suggested.

MsTheaP you will take screenshots of the combination and paste it in the Paint then you will have the combination to see it. But you have to make them small (both Paint and the tab you play farmerama) so you can see them at the same time.

I didn't play the Cake event, was it an easy mini game? But the trick with the screenshots and Paint I remember using it in the past but I don't remember for what reason.

You are welcome my friends I like to help when I can

 

I am not going to stress over this one, too busy to really be able to concentrate on it - it looks like a lot of "sitting at 'puter" type event plus the inevitable milling! Five hours milling in total or thereabouts. If I do get anywhere near the requirements, I will save all the work till the end.

Of course, this is me with sanity in control at the moment, how long can that last!

Good luck all!

Forgot my manners, thanks for doing all the hard work Arielh and Pnp!

 

I want to do this event but I have to do many things this week. I checked the cloud row and it doesn't give TEP
I will plant over night and I will leave it tomorrow to decide. Maybe I will not aim for the cloud row but just to get some of the items.
Illy good strategy I am going to follow it too, not stressing about it!

 

Right you are Moraine!!! The CR is truly meh....I will go at this event casually, that is my strategy
All the best to everyone

Me thanks you Arielh for getting things going and giving our brains a break

 

If you have win 10, you press the window key (between ctrl and alt on my keyboard), and left or right arrow. Then the computer split the screen for you.

Not sure what I'll do, I have set my screenshot to be saved in the cloud. I could perhaps force it to open in paint, but ... there's also pen and paper. I love pen and paper.

@illy1996 I heard your sanity has booked a vacation.....

 

I am always the old school. I have a pencil & paper and play.
Seems apron & hat do not drop from event crops. So plan accordingly.

 

I will give this a go since my fields are already covered in trees/pens/workshops. I was hoping we would only use 3 fields but I don't care much for having to get more than 1 drop I probably won't be using the ladles so....I hope everyone gets what they want out of this event and enjoy it!!

 

Well we are getting a pretzel Moraine what more do we want
and we get 6 days to get this ONE pretzel cloud row

Gives: 200 EP x Farm level, 1 x Pretzel

requires the four event giver items
OMG ...thats mean ...think I might give this a miss and let them keep their pretzel
I can make them quicker in the Bakery

BUT it gives 200ep farm level ...will sleep on it and make up my mind in the morning
