I don't understad what I'm supposed to do in this event. And, since my language is forbidden now (Swedish) I have nowhere to ask. I just simply don't understand the FAQ and I'm not THAT bad at English.

 

Swingtime, it is not easy to understand, I grant you. I think it is because it is laid out like an FSQ and looks like you have to do all three parts.

Basically, you choose what set of prizes you want from each level - you can only do two parts so, for example, Silver and Gold OR Silver and Diamond OR Gold and Diamond. Make sure you have the goods required for ALL of those two parts of the level as you can't change your mind once you make your first donation (of each part). Also, I think, you cannot progress further in the event if you haven't got the necessary goods.
If you do all 8 levels (16 cakes ), you will get the CR and all its EP items.

I hope my simplified version helps but go over to the Strategy thread and you will find a lot your questions may be answered.

Edit: Thought I would make a start to see how it went, was immediately confused about what flavour to go for so went back to FAQs - important to note:

Each charts shows the 5 levels of construction.
Silver = Chocolate Pastries
Gold = Vanilla Pastries
Diamond = Strawberry Pastries

Feedback: instead of Silver, Gold and Diamond, it would be clearer if levels were divided into Chocolate, Vanilla or Strawberry.

Another edit: It seems you CAN'T change your flavour if you want. Can't get any further to check cos I haven't milled any stuff yet.

 

I am out for this one. The events are too close together. I am going to just be a normal farmer for a while!

 

Thank you Illy!

 

Small but important correction: For CR and givers only 8 levels (16 cakes) are needed.

 

Noted and amended Habalala! Thanks!

Glad to help (I hope) Swingtime!

 

Please BP, write faq's that are EASY to understand.

 

i agree, have read FAQ several times and it seems so complicated. Why does it have to be so? going to skip the event as obviously all is revealed once you start playing as it isnt obvious, to me anyway, from the FAQ.

 

events should be fun not created to give players headaches skipping this one too skipping a lot lately. why must it be so difficult to find info on this game the faqs stink

 

The drop rate is still atrocious despite whatever adjustment has been made. In previous events event crops had a better drop rate.

 

Yet another event not worth doing. I only do events if the prizes include a new pen or tree, or seed dispenser like the fern event, or the CR offers something other than EP or time reduction buffs. I started reading the FAQ then zoned out and could not be bothered, so I had a quick look at the rewards - nothing new to offer so it was an easy decision not to do this event. I'm just going to collect the cursed coins every day and whatever I get from that is enough.

More time to relax, enjoy the graphics and do some simple farming to slowly plod my way through the FSQs.

 

I agree with the posts above.
The drops are abysmal

 

I normally dont post on the boards, just read but I am so frustrated with these events lately that I have to put this out there...

This event stinks as did many of the previous back to back ones! When Im finally able to mill one product, I am short crops.. when I have enough crops to mill ONE product, Im short on drops! Im a high level player so I have all the trophies, artisian buffs, pets, cloudrows, etc that would help this issue, yet its the same problem every time!!

This game use to be fun, and it DOES have lots of potential but lately it is starting to feel more like work! I use to look forward to events when they weren't one after another, and you actually had a chance to finish them! Im not suggesting in any way that they be made easy.. I like a challenge, but can they at least be obtainable!!

Sorry BP... you are burning me out and Im seriously thinking of taking my money elsewhere!! Its a sad day when a person feels they need to take a break from a game LOL!! Let us relax a little and get some normal farming done once in awhile too! People will still spend their money if thats what they do!! <--------- I have a feeling thats what its about, but your about to lose this customer cause I already have one foot out the door!!

Just sayin

 

Thank you for amending the drop rate. This is a cute event, and would probably be very enjoyable if everyone was not so burned out. The crops needed for each item makes it tedious. From every harvest, we can make one or two drop items, not enough to complete both sides. And while the amounts of stuff from the barn is each, individually, very reasonable, the sheer volume of things that are required makes this a very draining event. If this were the only event for the month, then this would have been fine. But seeing that it is just the latest in a very, very long line of continuous events, I think we're all a little tired.

On the positive side, the variety of prizes is good, if not overwhelming, and I do enjoy the amount of mystery stables and trees that you have been handing out as prizes lately.

 

I'm not a fan of the event. I'm not having problems with drop rates as others here, but I just feel like this is kind of a lot of complication for very little reward and is so loosely related to the bone queen event as to be an afterthought. It's like you're trying to link two events that were conceived of completely separately; maybe another indication that you are trying to pack in too many activities at once, BP.

You can barely earn any cursed coins from the event, which is the stated purpose (read the description above--"In return, they'll hand over cursed coins--bring them to Doc Marigold!"), and the other rewards are frankly just Meh. Levels 4, and 7 and all after that, there are absolutely no rewards related to either the bone queen or the witch cottage upgrade. Huh? Very confusing, very silly, very much a waste of time.

 

I have to admit - I would not have been able to finish this event without the Baby Boom Days as drop rates were not great otherwise.

But, I love the graphics! And the prizes! So development team did well on that. Also - the way the donations were configured has worked well - one of each of the 3 milled items per level - doable with the amount of crops harvested. Don't know if that was planned, or just a big ol' coinkydink (okay, coincidence) but, I was pretty happy about that, too.

 

Drop rates for vials is terrible.

 

I agree entirely. This was a poorly thought-out use of a classification that means something different in quests.
And why? There has been a lot of effort gone into developing this event and I enjoyed it apart from this one Massive Glitch and the fact that the event is a Barn-Burner (too many of Everything to donate...)
You could have scored 80+/100 (well thought-out, superb graphics and fun!) but I score you 51/100 for confusing FAQ.
IMHO.

 

drop rates of vials is so low that more than likely will not be able to finish the 8/8 needed. Again, looks good but no fun so far.
