The Great Chase IV

I got the first BB Tree. Now for the other.

 

It is very unreasonable for the remaining drops and crops to go to the dump.

 

Finished! I have both BB trees now! Good grief that was a slog. I think I played 206 games.
I didn't use any crop bonuses from my inventory. Instead I used over 100 Party Spins to get a +200% bonus and 2 +100% bonuses, which all stack. For the drops I used instant crocuses and instant chrysanthemums.
I still have over 300 party spins left and over 30,000 super-grow, as I tend to save stuff up. I'm really happy with having a 'stretch' event like this with great prizes that make it worth spending some of my saved resources.

 

Got the first BB tree! I will use up whatever I get on this next harvest and call it a wrap.

 

Grats on all that are getting the BB trees. My skill is not so good. I have played 130 games and gotten 13k points so am only averaging 100 points a game.

I spent 300 party tickets and didn't get extra on harvests and didn't earn the plus on the harvests until 12 hours out on the event so decided not to use them since I had no hope of getting enough crops to play 145 more games with my skill average. I would have need to harvest 47,000 crops on the 1 field in enough time to finish playing the games.

I love the prizes but for those of us with not as good a memory as we had when we were younger, it is not as fun.

 

Well I understand! Most likely for all events market sales of the remaining drops and crops will not be allowed.

But at least because they belong to us, keeping or releasing them must be our will.

So if they can still be used in a similar event, why not in my inventory?

 

Got the cloud row which was my main aim. Short of drops so just missed out on the Magic Tree. My average was 94 points per game as I really am hopeless. How many times must I miss the Chef's Hat on the spot the difference! I did try another game but got only 21 points I think. Well done to those who got the BB tree. I did not spend any money so will use what I saved to buy BB as and when I need them.

 

And one more thing:

FAQs: What drop item packages can I get in the Shopping center?

1 x Soot - 2 BB
50 x Soot - 85 BB (15% off)
100 x Soot - 150 BB (25% off)
200 x Soot - 270 BB (33% off)

1 x Magnifying Glass - 2 BB
50 x Magnifying Glasses - 85 BB (15% off)
100 x Magnifying Glasses - 150 BB (25% off)
200 x Magnifying Glasses - 270 BB (33% off)


All the leftover goods will be exchanged after the event:

1 Soot = 15 EP + 29 EP + 20 CC
1 Magnifying Glass = 29 EP + 20 CC

These do not seem to be quite equal to each other.

If BP is going to reclaim the remaining drops, they must pay us the same value as the sale of the drops.

So, for each Soot 2 BB.

 

farmerumf,

I do the find 10 because I can usually get about 70 on that to start. I then work up to 95 and then start the find 60. I can usually find about 30-35 regularly and improve a bit from that until I get near 45 or so. I do terrible on studying the picture and jumping in at find 60 because I have gotten about 10 points per game. The find the difference is a total flop for me as I usually only find 1 or 2. I am 68 years old and my memory isn't what it used to be as I forget a lot of stuff. I am happy my average was what it was.

 

Well, fiddlesticks. I missed out on the Magic tree by about two games. Just plain old ran out of everthing including time. The other farm got all the way through and has both BB trees out now...they sure are purdy!

 

I was amazed that I managed to get within about 1,000 of crops to finish all of the right side (and I could easily have got them, just changed to Hydrangeas to get some Soot) but those drops let me down - I only needed about 800+ to finish! Despite buying a basket - - I just managed to get the first BB Tree and the following prize (some BBs I think). But not downhearted, I now have a BB Tree so I am happy with that.

 

I got my second BB tree. Did a quest in SOups and friends and got 1200 SGs and used it mercilessly to get 2nd BB Tree. I do not know whether it is worth that effort. But I got 2 of a tree which longed to have. So happy. )

 

Sorry it took so long to get back to report my findings. I got about 50 mini games played before being called away to real life farm to help hubby . By the time we got home that night I was so tired I literally was falling asleep on my feet, which isn't good when you're standing over a stove trying to cook. I tried my theory on several games, first playing on the tablet and having picture up on laptop. I tried studying the picture thoroughly, but struggled with the darker images (my eyes don't do well in low light anymore, hard to see things easily). And, my touch reflexes weren't all that fast. So I switched, playing on laptop/picture on tablet. This actually worked much better for me, even with hand fatigue from clicking. I found that I did really well on the scenes I was most familiar with (barn, piggy in park), only needing to refresh game once or twice before I could remember item placement. The darker scenes (viking room, Catsylvania's crypt) took repeat refreshing before I could locate everything in 90 seconds, again the dimness was a factor, but much better on larger screen. I muffed up several games at the start, but amazingly enough did get a rhythm going where I was able to get all points almost all games (I fought lag on a few, which caused a bit of frustration, but thankfully wasn't a major problem). We've been extremely busy the last 2-3 weeks, so finding time to play was not easy, but in end managed to get one of the BB trees , plus the extra 11 BBs on the next level, before ran out of time and resources. I did end up buying a ton of SG from the farm store, sure glad I stockpile farm coins! Sure would have loved to have the 2nd tree, but extremely glad I got the one, since I've lusted after one since I first started playing almost 8 years ago. Maybe BP'll give us another event in the future that will offer them again. Congrats to all who finished, to those who got even one, and to those who met their goals, no matter what those goals were!

 

congrats to all who played and to those who got all the crops what fields did you use? thanks from the one armed bandit lol. left arm has a long way to go before being able to use keyboard.

 

Didn't get anywhere near a BB tree unfortunately, nor did I expect to - simply don't have the resources to do so, and am absolutely swamped with work at the moment so don't have the time to be harvesting regularly, even if I did have the resources for that! But I did manage to get the cloud row, which was my goal. I don't have many cloud rows - only 46 - as I rarely participate in events, but I was glad to get this one

 

Got back from a trip and wasn't very interested in playing an event, so didn't even read the FAQ.

Just checked this thread now. Can't believe I missed two BB trees

 

Sent gifts almost every day, and long crops. My computer is down and it is hard to see well on the device I'm using, so actually didn't try. I'm also swamped with work, so just as well. Only sorry I missed the BB trees. I love this event, hope they bring it back next year.

 

My results were that I got to 17k points on the right side and played 190 games. It would have taken me about 300+ games to have gotten the 25k points and win the 2 BB trees. I tried refreshing the game during and it just ended with me getting what I had found up to the refresh point. Also had issues with the game freezing for 10 seconds many times. I just hit my 10 years playing this game and getting tired of the way it is going.
