Hungry Statues

Thanks for confirmation habalalalala... haha. I always want to smile when I read your name.

That's what I thought. So we definitely benefit by using PC for level 2 - one harvest of 5 trees, level 4 - two harvests of 5 trees, level 5 - 3 harvests of 5 trees. That reduces the time by... 1.5 days. Making the event possible if I skip sleep...

 

*grin* Two and a half years ago I tried to keep my username somewhat sane to type

Good luck and the such to you and everyone else who takes on this challenge.

Keep smiling!

 

I won the 100% Harvest bonus Farm Wheel spin yesterday! Which has allowed me to complete the 1st 4 donations to the temple & I have the 5 base Ceiba trees. Will only need 3 more rounds of event crop after next harvest to have enough to complete event (just using Baha & Rainforest). Using Magical Glade for animal pens & workshops needed to complete some FSQ's [got the Snail, want that Lion]. Growing Turnips & other long term crop on Main & Green Meadow for drops. Expect to grow Sagurao on Baha & Rainforest after finishing with event crop. It will still be 2 or 3 days before I have enough drops to finish The Hunt for Red Diamond.

Crystal Falls has 5 Ceiba, 23 Ebony & will have 23 Betel trees to complete step 1 of Hungry Statues within a couple of hrs of event start (no SSG needed). Will switch out the Ebony & Betel for Macadamia & Ficus, hit with SSG & harvest ASAP in morning, switch out for Langsats & Betel SSG & hope to have 2 XXL upgrades for Ceiba to keep to schedule. Then switch out to Java Apple & Ficus SSG. If I can keep to plan will have necessary tree fruits (except Ceiba) in 1 harvest, can then exchange for the next required tree in the AM & be ready to harvest early the next day (reducing need for TM which is in very low supply), only needing to wait on the Ceiba's 2nd harvest to finish. The 5th step will require 2 harvests, but if I can keep to plan hopefully will leave enough time to do so!

After finishing with event crop tomorrow, will just use Pineapple Cake till I'm done with the Hungry Statues. Using 2x2's on mainland fields maybe I'll nuke a few rounds to get those drops. The 100% bonus really set me up well for this event. Good Luck to All!

 

I already goofed...Even with PAC and SSG, those first 2 trees will not yield 16. I have already ripped out Crystal Falls to have trees ready at the start of the event but with level 1 only being 10 hours, there will not be time for them to be ready again before the timer ends. Could have used that space for event crops....I think I may have already made a hard event even harder since I will need most of tomorrow to get the 40 jackknives to get the next 3 base trees. So tired with real life happenings that farm strategy sounds good in my head but putting it into actual practice....well....not executed well

 

PnP if your willing to spend the CC's on trees to do the final step in 1 harvest (Ceiba will still need at least 3 harvests with XXL upgrades), you can still complete the Hungry Statues event with a mistake/late start. But you'll need to finish The Hunt for Red Diamond event crop ASAP, you'll need those fields for the trees. GOOD LUCK!

 

Thanks dafodily

I'm so tired tonight that I can't think straight. Maybe it will fall into place tomorrow. I have spun that wheel so much I think it might break but no harvest bonus so just gotta keep growing. I didn't mind spending the CC to invest in the trees and do have enough to harvest everything in one harvest so only have to wait on the ceibas.

I love new trees and with it having pretty pink blooms.

I can't get in another event crop harvest tonight (it would be midnight) so since drops are not a problem right now, they can sit and wait until I'm up at 5.

 

Since I don't have Langsat or Plumeria unlocked yet, I will have to sit this one out. I only have a few GBs after the new content was released and I still haven't unlocked saguaro or the pet yet. Except for those two, the 80 GB CF, two customers and the two other statues for all the breedings, I only have the last two rooms to unlock, nothing is unlocked. It's going to take FOREVER, lol.

 

oh boy I give up I'm going to sit this one out too I probably wouldn't have gotten far anyway it was tempting though

 

I'm not playing this one but I've not seen anyone mention the buff "vial of growth" just wondering if it would give you guys any help in achieving your goals.

 

The +25% on the base amount of 4
One tree gives 4 fruits, with pineapple cake it will give 5. Adding SSG adds another two leading to 7 per tree.
It would not be required to delete CAC immediately since pineapple cake will only be needed when the trees are ready for harvest.

As time is of essence, it would be beneficial for anyone who feels comfortably safe with the The Hunt for Red Diamond event, to plant the trees of two stages at the same time. This requires sacrificing more than half a field for the first four stages.
Of course Ceiba is the bottleneck, so boosting time (and using resources) could be focused only on this tree.
The pirate parrot ship reduces time by 10% (18h). The vial of growth another 10% leading to 16h. (lucky ones with two pirate parrot ships can reduce ripening time to 14h)
Suzie's turbo mulch reduces the 16hs by another 35% leading to 10:24h. That is two harvests per day on the normal tree.
When the XXL tree is acquired the production time can be boosted down to 6:15h.
The pirate parrot ship will not be always available due to cool down time but we may eventually find some sleeping time in between

 

I am up for anything, this does sound a very tough quest

First things first. You need to complete Level 4
The hunt for red diamond to obtain 5 x Celba Trees

The first four Levels for this quest only need 1 Baha Field. But level 5 you will need Two Baha Fields

There are two ways to do this event. But have to juggle using Combo of SSG, Super Mulch, PAC and XXL Celba Trees

There is a Vital of Growth Buff Reduce 10% Baha Tree times. This has to be activated before you put out your Baha Trees

I have a Special Pet called Pirate parrot Ship that also reduce Baha Trees times by 10%

Using Super Much reduce Baha Trees by30%

Moo boy Baha Tree Nuking Strategy combo of Pirate parrot ship+VOC+turbo Mulch I got my Baha Trees down to 10H 20m

I have planted them in my Crystal Falls This have two and half fields to grow the remaining needed giants bamboos, to finish off The hunt for Red Diamond event Just in case we Goofed up

I have found a strategy without the need of using any XXL Celba Trees even on Level 5. Instead need to use PAC+SSG+Turbo Mulch Combo. The Maximum you can get from 5 Celba Trees is 35 Celba Fruits per Harvest

We need to Harvest Celba Fruits only 9 times,therefore using only Turbo Mulch 9 x13 hours = 117 Hours. Reduce this by further 10% using VOG Buff

If we get lucky to lwin 100% or 200% Harvest will be huge help

Firsts Crossed.
Hope my posting has helped you have a rethink, with a clear guided strategy Steps to progress each step in a manageable timely manor Sorry to hear some of you have miscounted your good intentions relax Mystro Mooboy is at the Helm for my fellow chums

 

Actually it is better, turbo mulch reduces time with 35%

 

Two questions:

1) Vial Of Growth has to be activated before the trees are planted but do they last the length of the tree growth or just 4 hours, that is, do we need to activate 3 Vial of Growths for each planting?

2) Where did the special Pirate Parrot Ship come from? Is it on a CR or was it bought with BBs?

By the way, count me in! I have emptied my Crystal Falls for the first time in ages - - in order to grow more Giant Bamboo and plant the necessary trees for the Hungry Statues!

I am coming to the end of a batch of CAC so I will alternate between PC and CAC as and when I need it, the idea being using one CAC a day to limit the amount of buffs and mulch I use for the trees.

Oh well, it seemed like a good plan but I know it will fall flat somewhere! Probably forget either the CAC or PC - or both

Good luck all!

 

1) As long as it is activated when you plant the tree (or harvest for the new cycle) it will reduce 10% of the total time. No need for several products for each planting

2) Parrot pirate ship is a pet, so it won't be on a cloudrow. It was initially sold for 60BB, then it was available in Renzo's for a while too, so it is possible to have two of them. Here's the FAQ so you can see how it looks like.

 

Thanks Mir! Good news on question one, bad news about the Parrot Pirate Ship!

I'm trying to be too clever and preparing fields with three lots of trees but I think I will only try to work on two parts at a time. I know I will hit the harvester button and all that planning goes for nothing. I will plant the trees in separate fields too ... plus harvest by hand so I can cut the PC and change to CAC ... except just checked and I have only one PC! LOL! Great plans illy!

Howdy Farmers,

After listening to your feedback about the balancing of the "Hungry Statues" short-timed quest, the Game Team have made the Quest a Permanent Farmer's Society Quest. It is currently being synced to the servers and we will update you once the update is finished.

Best Regards,
Your Farmerama Team

No big rush, we can all finish this one!

 

Oh well, all this strategy is moot now but at least I am all ready for it.
Crystal Falls did need a little bit of a tidy up!

 

If it remains a timed FSQ, these strategies will come in handy. We still have only 5 trees to work with. I will copy/paste A lot of this and label it Hungry Statues. Maybe, instead of closing this thread, one of our Fabulous Mods can move it to Game Related Chit Chat later.

 

Whoa...I have timed trees out wasting crop space, uggggghh

 

Just alittle more eeek to add to my confusion but now I have more time to be
