  1. If the timer reaches one minute exit the mini game.
    When you re-enter, the timer restarts with a different set of shapes.
    You can try a few times for practice, until you can pick up some speed.

    I played 9 games and had to exit a few times, in order to try to do better.
    ... and no, the exited games do not count. The Jeweled Ankh's are not subtracted.

    Ditto what xristos mentioned. I tried the same thing with my free game and exited out and was able to get back in to try again.

    Comfort fields

    You plant 3 seeds on each, and they will give a triple harvest (15 seeds on a 2x2 plot) and you will get double EP.

    The growing time is 4x the normal growing time.

    The small acre has 1 square (yield = 2 plants) 4 with cac

    the medium-sized acre has 2 squares (yield = 3 plants) 5 with cac

    [​IMG]
    the large-sized acre has 4 squares. (yield = 5 plants) 7 with cac

    has anyone tried selling the event crops yet? In my market, the price is not increasing? I know sometimes it takes a few moments for it to go up, but mine has been the same for awhile now.

    What happens in a typical crop event (with CAC), where seeds and crops are interchangeable:
    • plant seed on 2x2 --> harvest 7 crops (initial seed + 6 additional crops) --> replant harvested crops on other 1x1s/1x2s/2x2s
    • plant seed on 1x1 --> harvest 4 crops (initial seed + 3 additional crops) --> replant harvested crops on other 1x1s/1x2s/2x2s
    What happens in this event (with CAC), where seeds are different from crops:
    • plant seed on 2x2 --> harvest 7 crops --> cannot replant harvested crops --> must play additional mini-games for more seeds
    • plant seed on 1x1 --> harvest 4 crops --> cannot replant harvested crops --> must play additional mini-games for more seeds

    Do you see the problem here? What you describe - planting 44 seeds on 44 1x1s to get 176 crops, and then replanting those 176 crops on 1x1s to get an additional 528 crops - is not possible in this particular event.

    That's why people in this thread are recommending 2x2s as a way to maximize yields for each seed, since we get a limited amount of seeds based on how many games we're able to play, which in turn is based on how many drops we're able to collect.

    Having said that, I have a very different opinion on the use of 2x2s. I'm just keeping it to myself to avoid inadvertently offending anyone here.

    No but there are a couple of players on the HU forum who have and they also said the price is not increasing...

    I have been mulling this over in my mind and am still pondering whether, if I had a whole field of 1x1s and the +3 bonus, would this not yield more in the long run?

    1x1s: 176 x 7 (4+3) = 1,232
    2x2s+ 176 (44x4) x 10 (7+3) = 1,760 but would take four times as long to achieve

    If you add in SSG

    1x1s: 176 x 9 = 1,584
    2x2s: 176 x 12 = 2,112
    I will see how things progress and decide when I reach the +2 bonus. :p

    For first harvest - How about planting with comfort fields waiting for the crops to grow before activating the bonus. We can use SGs & SSGs on this type of fields. Also we can plant the crop with long growth time.

    Thereafter for the 2nd harvest and next (after bonus is activated.), we can use regular fields.

    I am very curious to know it.

    May be you can give a statutory warning that this is not intended to offend anyone and the characters here have no resemblance to anyone living or dead. :p

    Is anyone considering the drops in these calculations? Usually the biggest reason I use 1x1 is to improve drops.
     
  12. puppiesnponies

    puppiesnponies Living Forum Legend

    I'm using 1x1 to get the drops to do enough games in one sitting to activate the crop bonus. When I do the event crop, it will be 2x2. So far, I have just done the free one.

    And that is all this ooooooooooold farmer nooooooooooooow will do :)
    Event complete and cloudy here:)

    Best wishes to those still junking. :eek:

    All kinds of excitement on the broke farm lately.

    zero-the-goat came from out of nowhere on page 3 or 4 of barn animals when sorting by quantity.
    First zero-the-goat when fishing and passed sanddollar on page 2 at 55,979

    next zero-the-goat came back to the farm with a beaver on his back. what????????????
    I have named the beaver banjo-the-beaver (after banjoman)
    zero-the-goat passed banjo-the-beaver on page 2 at 58,392

    zero-the-goat went for a stroll and caught illy-the-ladybug on page 2 at 59,139
    for some reason I felt so sad for illy-the-ladybug :cry:

    That brought zero-the-goat to the top of page two (zero is on a roll)

    Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    Next zero-the-goat wanders off again
    zero-the-goat caught shooger-the-owl on page one at 61,725

    zero-the-goat is now respectful at the bottom of page one at 61,804
    so sad for shooger-the-owl
    zero-the-goat was to blame

    and zero-the-goat is resting under the broke tree
    zero-the-goat awoke telling of a dream to catch nala-the-otta at 62,979 (about 1,200 away)

    zero-the-goat has created chaos on the farm.

    and Baha has its own celebration going on
    stay tuned for a Baha broadcast soon.

    too much going on for an oooooooooooooolf farmer nooooooooow

    Yes, zero, we all want to know your idea. The best thing about this game, no matter what farmer_broke says, lol, is that there is no wrong way to play, but there ARE best methods for achieving particular goals. My playing style has changed over time, so many times I can't even count. For me, I use 2x2 on this type of event, because I want to use SG, and I want to do all my growing (hopefully) in the time when all my bonuses are activated. But I learn from each and every post that is made in these strategy threads!

    So far, from growing two sets of long crops each day, using silver slots to speed up growing, I am more than halfway to my goal to have all 38 games to activate all bonuses at the same time :)

    o_O (now to have fun with -matselleste- :inlove:)
    Why? Why would you want to bother me? I was not bothering you. And you want to lol and play with me.

    Just maybe you need a little assistance on your farm with your junking and whatever you do. :music:
    Just wait a few more days until Wednesday and I will see to it you get some assistance. No need to say by whom. xD

    I see you around the En Forum.
    And now you will forever be in my thoughts whenever when I check this farm.
    I have a favorite animal to introduce to the En Forum. :) Priceless! Definitely priceless :inlove:!

    Please meet matselleste-the-pig :inlove:
    matselle-the-pig for short.

    Sorry matselle-the-pig is very near the bottom of page 4 with only 24,107 friends. (and with over 30,000 pig feed to eat) :eek:

    matselle-the-pig :inlove:, welcome to the farm!

    xD You are more entertaining than these junking events :inlove::inlove:xD
    I never said YOU were a pig. xD I definitely do not wish to insult you by calling you a pig. xD

    And now there is only one pig on this farm who is priceless. :inlove: And that pig is so cute. xDxD

    Simply calm down and be patient.
    • Presently there are over 115 hours left in this event. ......more 4 1/2 days left
    Of course one may sell at the present high if you wish.

    When previous events had items which could be sold the dynamic market price was initially low.
    As time moves toward event-end, more players will sell and if needed by others, the maximum market price will rise.

    From the little I know of the event faqs at this time, I would expect for the sales prices of the event items to be higher than we have ever witnessed in this game before.

    Happy junking

    I live to entertain :) In fact, I have written several novels, and Farmerama (most notably, its players) get mentioned in each of them :) I will grin and bear having a pig for a namesake.

    I am so mad right now I could scream, Ive been waiting and waiting for this event to come around, usually the first two days goes very very high,
    because last time, I hesitated to see if the prices would still go higher, but then they started dropping and I didnt sell when they were at the highest, I cant remember for sure, but I am sure they went over 100K or way more each, this time I cant even sell for 100.00 CC each, this is a big slap in the face. I used soo much sg, ssg, PF to get it all done and when I went to sell, I was so mad, I even bought two baskets to bump my production of event crops to sell, I just new with a couple farms now I would make a killing, this is a joke. The prices stayed the same in my market all day yesterday, and as far as I know after 24 hours they were still the same price, and I kept listing through out the day, hoping it was some kind of glitch, so today the prices has changed but only by a few CCs.
