Peak Bragging - Strategy Thread

At least you have chamois to do that. None in the market, and don't have it.

Edit: I think the FAQ means main field only. In the FAQ for Frappe Ole! it said on main, meadow and glade.

 

I'm a busy bee - it is December, after all. Think I'll be skipping past this one.

Good luck to all the climbers!

p.s. I think main just means main as well. They usually include meadow and glade in the FAQ when it's included. One field seems a bit crazy.

 

I just posted in general issues for clarification on how many fields we'll be able to use. So we shall see.

ETA... It's just the ONE field, not all 3 mainland fields
My post

 

Many thanks to @12ss12 for the info and numbers, and to @habalala and @puppiesnponies for sharing their strategies.


Here's my plan for getting the CR and givers only:

1-2-4 (KABOOM...?!)
6-22-24 (Ice Axe in the Stone)
23-46-47 (Cave Surprise)
48-15-14-55-26-27 (Bubble-otl)
9-10-11-13-52-53 (Healthy Bite)
28-29-30-31 (Jolly Ski Lift)
16-18-19 (CR)​

Requirements for this path:

5400 x Alpine Aster
230 x Carabiner (460 PF)
3 x Dynamite
3 x Ice Axe
4 x Speckled Goat
2 x Black Goat
2 x Angora Goat
4 x Pygmy Goat
1 x Flying Goat
1 x Rambo Goat
1 x White Cow
4 x Albino Bat
2 x Brown Bat
3 x Hungry Bat
2 x Barnacle Goose
5 x Eagle
5 x Bear
20 x Fish​

Additional requirements for the path to the Crate O' Aquatic Animals:

49-51-32-33 (Crate O' Aquatic Animals)

1 x Dynamite
1 x Ice Axe
35 x Carabiner (70 PF)
10 x Eagle​

 

12ss12- the amounts you posted from me in your spoiler in your first post of this thread have math errors in them. I'm sorry....

It will mislead players thinking those are the right requirements. I should have not tried to do strategy but wanted to offer a different path that did not involve so many event crops. I apologize for adding confusion rather than clarity.

 

Am I missing something? What is special about the aquatics crate? It's only one crate right? What will we get in the crate? For me, if it is only one crate, I don't know that it is worth the resources to get it. (70 PF)

 

I KNOW I'm sitting this event out on all farms!!!!!!!!!!! that's crazy so if any of my neighbors are reading this please don't send me any event drops please send them to those who are brave enough to attempt this event good luck to everyone going rock climbing and cave dwelling

 

sarann...

Crate O' Aquatic Animals

receive 1 random item from the following:
1 x Lobster Pool, 1 x Penguin Habitat, 1 x Salamander Den,
1 x Shark Lair, 1 x Crab Pool.


Marly...
There won't be a drop to send this time, the carabiners come from the breeding hut only

 

Thanks Peeps. That looks worthwhile to go for if you are doing the event. Salamander and Penguin would be lovely! I would also like the Eerie Trees.
This cloud row isn't that appealing to me.

Now I have to decide if this one is worth attempting. Don't have enough Power Feed built up to make the requirements. 323 and 6 milling. I need to see if the path to those two items is worth it and doable.

I have been building up goats for a while. Good on other items. Just not PF.

One bonus - No crop drops needed. 2 extra spaces for crop growing since I don't have to move trophies around for a drop.

 

Puppiesnponies, Thank you for your efforts! Also thanks to 12ss12, habalala and zerodegrees for crunching numbers and coming up with paths for us to follow. I really think you are ALL very brave to post strategy's for us! I would be lost with out your postings! Good luck to all doing this most interesting event!

 

that's right lol my baad its still to scary for me in those (all) crates do you just get the animal, fruit ect... or do you get the actual pen or tree?

 

I've mapped out a path for those players who don't want the CR but would like to get the Crate O' Aquatic Animals (I am hoping for a Salamander or Crab Pool.....fingers, toes and eyes crossed!!!) I've marked "OFF" where you can go off track for 1 extra step if you have the requirements and want those rewards. AA refers to Alpine Astars I've also bolded the amount of (#PF) needed for carabiners. This path also picks up the decos required for dynamite and ice axes, and 1 deco for the CR.

Step Need Reward
1 700 AA 8 goats
2 1300 AA 5 stars
3 1 pheasant 10 farm coins ("OFF")
4 20 fish 1 Kaboom deco
6 4 speckled goat 10 Suzie's mulch
7 5 groundhogs 5 Xi-hu wonder trees ("OFF)
8 20 carabiners 2 crate o' crates (40 PF)
24 5 eagles 1 ice in axe stone deco
**Please see Zerodegrees' suggestion below

22 1 white cow 10 farm coins
25 20 carabiners 2 crate o' crates (40 PF)
26 2000 AA 4 farm coins
28 55 carabiners 4 crate o'crates (110 PF)
29 1 flying goat 5 party spins
30 1 ice axe 3000 EP
31 4 pygmy goat 1 Jolly ski lift
32 1 dynamite 1500 EP
33 10 eagles 1 crate o' aquatic animals

Total carabiners - 95: a total of 190 PF will be needed
(extra PF will be needed for required breeding animals if you don't already have them)

Total Alpine Astars - 4000

As I am not going for the CR, I'm happy to trade the Jolly ski lift at the next G&T (if allowed). For those who are going for the CR and don't want to take this path, to save some steps, let me know via IGM and I'm happy to trade this giver with you.

Good luck to all if you're going to do this event, it's certainly not an easy one!!

PS. If my number / path is wrong, please correct me. As I understand from the FAQ all movements need to be joined.

**EDIT - Please refer to Zerodegrees' corrected posting below as I had made an error.

 

The first half is fine, the second half won't work because steps 31 and 32 aren't directly connected - you need to go through the cave to get to step 33 with the Crate O' Aquatic Animals.


Here is the path I would take if I only wanted the crate:

1-2-4-6-8-24-9-55-14-15-49-51-32-33​

Requirements for this path:

2000 x Alpine Aster
55 x Carabiner (110 PF)
2 x Dynamite
3 x Ice Axe
4 x Speckled Goat
2 x Black Goat
15 x Eagle
20 x Fish
​

 

Thanks zerodegrees - I didn't see that bit...doh!!!

Thanks too for your suggestion for this path. Personally, this event FAQ took a while for me to understand...well so I thought!

 

The Crate O Aquatic Animals is the only crate that rewards a stable/pen when opened. The Crate O Crates when opened will all just be random crates of all the same ol same ol crates we've been harvesting from our CRs lately. Some give decent rewards, but some just give a single seed lol .

 

This is a real tough event. In all my years playing this game this is the toughest event yet. For several reasons. 1st the sheer number of Power Feeds to get the Cloud Row or complete this event. In return gives us the meanest amount of Power Feeds in return.

On a positive note this is the only Breeding Event this month so i am pretty certain we shall be having a Power Feed and Baby Boom This weekend.

The Cloud Row is very tempting for those who enjoy Breeding or happy to splurge Power Feeds. As Cloud Row gives 1000% Breeding EP. Not Bad for those who do Breeding during Baby Boom. It would have been even more nicer is Cloud Row helps us get better skips during Breeding

The good thing we only need 1 Field out of 6 Fields for this event that the Main Field We can put good use to the other 5 Fields to Gain Manure, Animals and Production Workshops which are needed for Quests. Especially the New Recent Quests

As it works perfect for me to do this event plus work on quests also making CC to buy stuff from the markets

I think i might do this event, so wait how things pans out to my liking as i have been selling some breeding goats while the market value for them have shot up my riches

I have very healthy stock of tools so i might make some Shearing Shed Sheep wool, Shearing Shed Angora Wool plus some Cheese. As demand for products have gone up lately. It will help to work on quests as many products are now quiet pricey to buy in the markets..

Thanks for Brilliant Thread, and those who have given us very helpful info for this event.

 

I Was going to list thank yous to all who have posted either the numbers crunched or their strategies on how to climb the mountain. Was going to, till I realized clearly a third of you who have posted have done that very thing. SO... Thank you one and all for crunching the numbers and offering alternatives on how best to go after what I'm after. I certainly do appreciate it!

 

Big Thanks to every one who crunched numbers and paths. Thanks Growalot and zerodegrees for the path to the coveted Aquatic Animals crate.
Since it is doable - I am going to at least attempt the path to the crate first.

My planned Path to the Eerie trees after getting the crate!
Starting at 9
10-11-13-52

Additional
20 Carabiner (40 PF)
1400 AA
1 Dynamite
2 Brown Bats

Anything else I do will be fluff! This will be a lot more fun since I wont be stressing to get the CR

Good Luck everyone who participates

 

Am completely at sea as to how to deal with the chamois problem - don't have it, it's not on the market... Anyone have any ideas?

 

Anyone notice there is a Baby Boom going on! Only 3.5 hours - please double check before breeding, I might be seeing things!
