Treasure Hunt - Strategy

No need to apologize for your English, Nuubi-Joonas2210. I totally understand your frustration with this event. We are all feeling exactly the same way.

At some point, we have to stop the madness - that is to say: we players have to stop participating in these events. I think my days of event OCD are about over. I may only participate on one farm, not three, or choose to just skip it all together on all my farms. I just have too much to do and there are now times when I just cannot stop what I'm doing to harvest an event crop.

So this one may be the straw that broke the camel's back...finally cured my FEOCD.

 

397 drops so far. it seemed less to me. now I'm planting saguaro. I hope you have a good dropdown.

hardworking farmers, what about your drops.

 

I won't judge you for lacking in altitude! You make up for it in aptitude and attitude!
The drop rat is inky-stinky.

My favourite shorty joke is;

Q. What is the worst thing about being the shortest farmer?
A. You are the last to know it is raining!​

 

I HATE these types of events that are inevitably just waiting around for drops. I'm not stressing over it and it's one field so the rest of my farm is working. I only have 322 drops at this point I think I will be lucky if I even get the CR.

 

These events are already recurring. No drops available with basic gameplay.

I don’t take too much stress from bad events. Drops : 425

Gosh I just remembered the dynamics of the last event like this. The drops were rubbish and barely got the CR (did I get the CR?)
Out of the 990 Secret Messages needed for the CR part of the event, I have a whopping 340

 

I was not even counting but reading your messages drove me there... well... ready?
1 7 4 Ouch! I won't make enough, not by any means....

 

Yep, definite drop drought! Thinking maybe trees would do best, I started with those - not so good. Event plant drop is terrible. Maybe long crops overnight will get me there, but not holding my breath.

One thing the developers have done for me with their tinkering of events is cure me of the need to finish them!

 

500 drops left for CR. Now it's time for the bell pepper.I placed the Howies.. I admit, "I wonder if drops will be enough" excitement is good. But we should not make this situation almost impossible. Or, to earn more money, one should not offend the players. I think BP will continue to ignore this situation.

 

I have reached the CR level - I have 556 so ONLY another 434 required!

I am collecting my 5 Scrolls as often as I can but even if I collected them EVERY 5 hours, I still think the second part will be impossible to achieve - even if I got the crops, I will still need another 1,000+ drops to finish!
If it weren't for the good prizes along the way, I wouldn't have bothered at all!
Isn't this fun!

 

I need 550 drops to continue event and +100 more to get season points

 

uhh the drop rate is abysmal again.

 

It Just proves that Bigpoint has not been listening or reading our Feedbacks the last time we had this format type of event, I and many others did not get very far i doubt that anyone was not able to get to Task 12 at all

I only use SG on Building Event Crops, The Next Harvest is Manure and Water all the way through the event, I use SG on Refinements and Spooky Crops (Alot) but still have plenty in Reserve but wont consume SG to speed up on Event Crops, When we have an impossible Task to get these crazy amounts of Secret Messages

• I have two Cloud Rows that boost Baha Drops, combine these with Howie Donuts is the best i can do when Harvesting Baha Crops

• Alternatively use Tiki Timers to Plant Bell Peppers Crops into Comfort Field Format, Activate All SG Buff Cloud Rows you have using Fruit Cake and White Innocents

These are the only two Strategies that Boost your Baha Drops, Tiki Times gives you 20% reduce Baha Veg Crop Time

So far I have 608 Secret Messages I am being realistic I just be grateful to get to Task 11

I dont have any motivation to Level up my Baha so not gunning for 2nd CR at all, as i have so many Golden Bananas i wish to use Magic Potion Buff to convert them into Pink Bananas so i can donate them to new quests

 

Mooboy: "These are the only two Strategies that Boost your Baha Drops, Tiki Times gives you 20% reduce Baha Veg Crop Time "

Trees -10% : Vial of Growht

Baha Veg Crop Time : -4% Healing ointment and -6% Essence of wisdom

 

Why Bell Peppers as opposed to Lab lab bean or habanero? Just asking. Must be the comfort field option (nevermind, have realised it turns Bell peppers into a 24hr crop) . I still don't understand CFs. I used them once and lost out majorly.

Edit, found a 2015 post from Mooboy that says the drop rate is increased using CFs. Is that right?

 

Hi CT, Lablab Bean and Habanero would take too long to harvest using comfort fields using SG it would be 76 Hours and 56 Hours respectively after you used SG, water and manure still going to take between 20 to 24 Hours to harvest

If you used full Baha 1x1 Normal Field you will be consuming more SG on Lablab Beans or Habanero, but Bell Peppers in Comfort Fields is less SG

Also in Drop Rate Algorithm Comfort Fields should increase drop rates due to longer growing time as it does say in Comfort Field FAQ drop rate will Increase but i cannot Guarantee that it will since drop rates is always random as it been a while since i last used Comfort Fields because i hardly have an issue getting Drops only this kind of Event...Yes

If any one is happy and willing to consume SG then using Habanero with Tiki Timer, Water and Manure using 1x1 Fields, I would suggest this method when you have completed Task 5 as Task 6 and Task 7 needs 990 + 100 Secret Messages

It is Essential you have 1090 Secret Messages at this stage if you are short you will lose Idle time to obtain The Second Crop in my case it is Tropical Corks to work on Task 8,9,10 and 11 at Best

That is my Goal for this Event



I just post the options taking into Considerate on those who don't have that many SG also conserve their SG on Better Rewarding Prized Events that is not impossible like this event

 

How long does Bell pepper take in CF with SG and SG buffs?

I used SG for the starter seeds but am not going to use it to chase drops. I would prefer to use it for different reasons. That being said, I am done with the crops of the Northward flower and have 672/990 drops needed for the CR. I am confident I can get those drops before event's end, but still think it will be too hard with too many resources to aim for the last half of the event.

I have planed LabLab beans with Tiki Timer, Healing Ointment, Essence of Wisdom, water and manure in 1x1 plots. 19 hour crop reduced to approximately 9.5 hours which is perfect for me since sister is here today to help with Mom.

I don't think the drop rate increases in CF. You are just essentially turning a shorter timed crop into a longer timed crop plus with SG and other buffs you can turn your farm fields over faster which does help collect drops. However, you can still at maximum only get 1 drop per plot so the most you can get is however many CF you can have on Baha (sorry I forgot how many). Is it 40?

Interestingly enough, my event crop (Northward Flower, 7 hours) has given me a range of 28-42 drops per harvest and last night I had a bit of time before putting the final seeding in before bed. I planted Grapes...45 minutes...they gave 21 drops!

 

LOL Pups ... I have a bit of time at the end of my farming day so will try the grapes!

Edit: 164 Grapes gave me 4 Scrolls! I just haven't got your touch, Pups!

 

I must try that too. I got 1 drop from sugarcanes yesterday

This event is ideal for someone, who has forest of Magic trees, like one ex-player had.
