Carnival Queen strategy

Now don't exaggerate @saturnia22

It's only a quarter of a billion exchange value, 253,630,000 to be exact! And that is for 2 cloud rows, just 37,315,000 for 1 cloud row. So if you can get 373 gold medals from drops, you don't have to donate any animals. And medals will drop from all 6 fields including Crystal Falls. So just donate any medals & keep the animals in your barn. Any rewards are pure gravy then.

 

The breeding event is not appealing to me. My life was crazy last year when we had this event and I missed out on getting to the queen. I'm going to do all I can to make sure I hit it this year my SSG, TM and SG could use the boost.

Only thing I don't get are those deluxe pheromones now going to be a permanent option during breeding? I reread that FAQ 3 times and could still not see if that info was there.

 

Illy dont forget can use medals we get from drops and breeding.

Sorry if its already been mentioned Im going through thread theres been alot of posts since I was on

Wow Suzzee thanks for that I use Puffin browser and was such a pain last time with lag but hopefully can use it like a PC mouse

 

I'm wondering the same thing, LDCrow. Edited to add: They are permanent! But looks like available only during breeding events. It's in the Mini-event Deluxe Pheromones FAQ - way at the bottom. They'll be available for purchase in the store.

 

I hope I got the numbers right, my eyes were blurred at the time, lol. Seemed pretty straight forward multiplication, tho.

I'm glad to see so much excitement for this event, which I wholeheartedly join in on. Too many of our recent events have seemed more flat than fun to the general farming audience. Like Moraine, my strategy involves copious amounts of SG, I've set aside at least 800 SG for event crops and a few rounds of instant carnations to get lots of baskets to start with, figuring I'll get a goodly portion of that back from the queen, and SG is the one buff that's fairly easy to restock thru events and wheel. Suzee's will only be for getting crops going, never have enough of that. Hoping queenie will be generous with it. Now just need to decide whether to use 1x1 or 1x2 to be most cost effective, and here my math skills get questionable (especially since I can't seem to remember how many crops a 1x2 w/ CAC gives).

LC and bunny, in the FAQs for Deluxe Pheremone Mini Event, at the bottom of the FAQ page is a section titled How Do I Make Deluxe Pheremones that tells about being able to store unused Deluxes for future Deluxe events. They apparently will be permanent, bunny, but my read is only usable for Deluxe breeding events. I'm guessing there will be a BB this coming weekend.

Long Live the Queen!

 

I misspoke... again...
The FAQ quote is from the Bunny Love FAQ. I'll go back and correct.

For those of you that still haven't figured it out... here is the FAQ link, in a different form, ...

Phoenix, it works more like a touchpad on a laptop which works similar to a PC mouse. The problem is the tiny screen and fat fingers. You might want to practice it before trying to catch with it. A stylus might be helpful. You can buy them at the dollar store.

 

Haha Suzze you know I dont have the skill and fingers to control mouse like pointer on a tablet. I will use stylus out of kids gameboys or whatever they are called

 

I will turn in whatever badges I get for the breeding event but I don't see myself giving up any thing else towards it. The CR's are not enticing to me.
Now the the Carnival Queen on the other hand is a siren singing to my sailor blood.

Best event of the year and I hope she throws as many goodies as always. I've got a new fast magic mouse for my Mac so I should be able to zip all over the place.

 

Magic Mouse.... code name for Super Agile Turbo Basket LOL

 

Althou the breeding event doesn't require any breeding and PF at all, I will not turn in a single animal or medal. The rewards are way too poor for such high EVs needed and I will not put in any effort, time or resources nor will I pay for (an improvement of) the chance on non exsistant skips. Besides that I also lack the 10,145,200 chickens or 74 Masked Cuckoo needed to deliver.
My strategy and advise is to do nothing and have all medals that do drop for free on the farm converted at the end. The rate is good:

• 1 x Bronze medal = 1200 EP + 1600 CC + 1200 TEP;
• 1 x Silver medal = 6000 EP + 8000 CC + 6000 TEP;
• 1 x Gold medal = 18000 EP + 24000 CC + 18000 TEP.

Easy K'ching!

Like others have said, the Carnival is THE event to go for. After the initial harvest (longest crop, factories, pens) I will reap all and everything from my main lands, even the menageries and manufactories wiil go out. The more plots availalbe for the event crop, the more flower baskets can be milled! As always: use long time crops overnight for drops, or even reserve half a field for those during daytime as well.

If you (at times) do buy PF, SG, SSG during events it certainly is worth to spend some real $ on this event. In the past years during this event the return in terms of money spent vs goodies gathered was well worth it. No super sale could beat it. But by all means: No guarantees!!

Have a blast with the Carnival, keep smiling!

 

Habalala thanks for those numbers. I avoid math like the plague so I wouldn't have bothered to figure that out. Good to know I can completely ignore the whole thing.

 

Wow, I can see we are all looking forward to the Carnival Queen event! I can't wait!
Thanks Spots and joanc for the numbers and starting this thread and everyone who adds to the fun here! My main focus is to grow event crops, mill the baskets and go to the carnival! Good luck, have fun and see you all there!

 

I just had a flashback of the last carnival event's glitches, where so many of us lost multiple empty baskets and/or entire baskets full of our hard-caught goodies towards the end of the event when we were all hustling big-time to reap all the rewards we could, ugh . I sure hope BP made some improvements and did preventative maintenance so we avoid that issue this time around

 

Didnt the last time the Queen was here we had to decorate the float 1st before we joined the parade. This time I cant see anything in the FAQs to suggest we do the same.
So hopefully as soon as you have baskets milled go and get the goodies

 

Can someone tell me where the carnival queen event is please ...Because I cannot find it on my farm

 

Nellie, did you look at the dates? It doesn't start until tomorrow the 7th.

 

Ahhh Ok thank you Clashstrumm.... Hmmm No I didn't look at the dates and should have

 

No float to decorate this time... the trade off/change up this time is that we have to mill the flower baskets (that take a big chunk of our crops and drops), instead of just raking in the plain basket drops from stables and workshops. During the previous carnival events I had used literally hundreds of baskets... and I stayed up all night catching goodies and using the rest of the baskets up right up to the event's end (and into the glitches, last time) , then they gave us an extension to make up for the glitches. I really hope having to mill the flower baskets this time doesn't put a big damper on the piles of goodies we can collect.

Hmm... it will take 25,000 crops (from only 3 fields) and 2500 drops for 100 baskets this time Is that even doable in 5 days? I'm starting to worry...

 

i am all in on the queen... the breeding i will do some as i need some... but wont be useing my animals..lol i am just gonna try the new skip thing out.. collect some farm coins and badges... the cr's doesnt look good but if i get enough drops for it i think i saw someone said we need like 300 something... thenj i will get the cr's plus other goodies.. the queen is where i am gonna be at no matter what...lol

i may have to work so that will slow me down... but think i got a game plan...lol yes we had glitches last time.. but they did add more time to the event too...that was my first queen and i loved it... but didn't like all that building to get there (think it was 3 floats before we could catch) ...lol this time its grow, collect drops, mill and go play....lol

i read all these posts... and something is telling me i am forgetting to say something.... humm what is it? oh well maybe i remember later...anyway good luck to everyone... may the queen be with us..

 

I have been looking at the FAQs given to us today. As out of curiosity been comparing Carnival Queen 2018 vs 2017. There are been some changes this time.

• Each Mini Game is only going to last only 15 Seconds(2018, 25 Seconds(2017)
• Each Mini Game need 1 Floral Candy Basket (250xSweetheart Roses+25 Candy Baskets)
• To be able to get loads of Goods from Carnival Queen, we are going to need to grow it excess of 9000+ Sweetheart Roses
• Also need get more than 900 Candy Baskets to be able to make excess of 36+ Floral Candy Baskets
• The Drawback of Sweethearts is they are need for Bunny Love Breeding event too, so we have to make up our minds to do both events or one or the other.
• With Monkey Queen (2018 will gives us Farm Coins and Star Coins (Event Shop Purchases)
• Earn Medal Drops from All six fields Bunny Love Mini Event

Fingers Cross hope they event goes without a hitch
