Treasure Hunt - Strategy

trying to be patient - still need 200 more drops for cloudrow! I have lab-lab beans down. . . David - it's not so funny - it may be true!!! LOL!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

 

Healing ointment (instead of happiness serum), with essence of wisdom and tiki timer is what I've used on the lablab beans. Perhaps it was a typo from the others (I sometimes mix up names even when I go for the right buff).

One more run of the beans and I'll have the CR.

 

I have reached the CR and moved onto the next stage and no matter how I do the sums, I can't get any nearer to the good stuff so I am going to just go for the Elbe Wonder Stable and stop. No more SG or SSG ... I'll save that for an event that is possible.

 

Got the CR towards the end of day 3. Now I'm on the last step and need 326 more drops for the Piccolo wonder box. Except I have a stable revenue bonus running at the moment and all my fields are filled with stables, so the remaining drops will have to wait until I can clear my baha plantation.

At the beginning of the event, my plan was to use one plant revenue bonus and 365 SG + SSG to complete both parts, and I thought I would need all 6 days. On day 3, however, I spun the party wheel 4 times and won a 100% harvest bonus for 24h. Then on day 4, I spun the party wheel one more time and won another 100% harvest bonus for 24h.

Had all event crops together a day ahead of schedule thanks to those extra harvest bonuses, so I decided to take a break from the event and put out stables on my baha plantation before my stable revenue bonus expires.

Total cost of the event: 5 party tickets, 1 plant revenue bonus, and 240 SG + 239 SSG - well worth the CR and Piccolo wonder box.

 

Well I am done. Went to the first level that gives the quills for the cork crop for the season points and that's all.
I'm very jealous zero, I spun the wheel over 100 times and got zilch in the way of harvest bonuses. 0 party tickets left. I hate having to buy them, but that's unavoidable.

 

Yes, I forgot the name of the buff. It was Essence of Wisdom and Healing ointment along with a Tiki Timer I used to reduce the veggies on Baha but I don't remember names of items I don't use frequently and the name doesn't appear in my buff slots when selecting them.

Congrats to you zerodegrees! I don't know how you managed to get all the drops you have and be able to take a day off for a stable bonus. I understand plowing through the crops needed with all those bonuses but I don't know how you got past the hurdle of the 990 drops needed for CR in order to get to the 2nd set of crops, and then be that close to the final step but good for you!

I'm with ctindaldavies - I rarely get crop bonuses from the wheel. I did get a pink frog

I did get enough drops to donate 100 to the 2nd half of the event and get the Season points. I'm getting closer to the Dormouse. Just need about 1200 more season points

 

I think it is necessary to give medals to those who finish this event.
I think he accomplished the impossible
I congratulate the farmers who finished, I think they are wonderful
I can never finish but I just got my hanging turn I'm happy
Many thanks to the farmers who advised and helped

 

21 hours left and I still need 330 drops for the cloud row.

 

I have enough event plants for part 2. I have 623 drops for the Piccolo box. I need 367 drops. I switched to planting bell pepper again. Exciting anticipation ....

I think I can finish it by planting 6 more rounds of bell pepper. Maybe I need SG for 1 round. We will live and see.

 

Still need 112 drops for the CR and I have a field of Saguaro that will be ready to harvest in 3 1/2 hours. So I'm crossing my fingers I'll get enough drops. Congratulations to all who have finished! Some very interesting strategies with the veggie crops that got you guys there. I refused to use any resources on this event and stuck to Water Hyacinth/Hoya/Saguaro as a once-a-day harvest with the goal of getting the CR and no plan to start the 2nd half.

 

Just got the CR after 2 days of planting Lablab beans (remembered the Tiki timer and Healing Ointment, completely forgot about Essence of Wisdom . Still, 10 1/2 hours worked with my schedule this weekend). Initial drops started ok I thought, despite my planning goof, but boy did they go stinko! Not even bothering to start the second half. I'd say I'm saving my resources for an event that's a little easier, but there haven't been any of those recently, so I'll just say I'm saving for a prize I really, really want, like another BB tree.

I too have trouble getting the wheel to love me, tho sometimes it seems like it goes in streaks. Nothing, nothing, nothing, then multiples bonuses at once. Usually when I can't make full use of them, lol. Congratulations on your fabulous luck, zero! I do love winning pinks, tho, no matter how many of any particular pink I have, and that they have put pink workshops on too. I got so excited the other day because I thought I was going to land on a pink egg farm . Missed by one place.

 

I have 979 drops! So close. . ..

 

I am lining up the total finish, needing 1769 more tropical corks and 23 drops with 12 hours to go.
I used about 3500 super grows and 800 suzy's stuff and that makes my supplies look jaded.
It is really draining having to resort to this type of farming and I fully understand those who are strong and unbending in their resolve to not be bullied into using resources. I have used up a lot of stuff, yet I hardly feel satisfied. My barn has been pillaged!
I have cancelled my payment information - I did it a while ago and lasted seven months without spending a cent but failed in my aim to last a year. All-in-all it is just sad.
EDIT: made it with 70 minutes to spare.....

 

I did manage to get the CR and I'm done. Not even going to think about that 2nd half as I have no drops at all.
Wishing all those still trying the best of luck!

 

I did the Tropical Treasure side and I have completed 11 levels! I have 647 Secret Messages just sitting there and it is 9:15pm here in the southeastern USA! and I am stopping the madness here and now! I have put my Baha Plantation back to normal farming so I will not be using any SG or SSG to try to finish that is NOT how I like to do an event! Good luck to everyone and I hope you all reach your goal!

 

Finished!

Thanks. 990 drops is easy when you have enough Howies.

Congrats to everyone who reached their goals and good luck to those still chasing after drops in the final hours!

 

It's done. It was a difficult activity. I used the resources I had. However, I had to use more SG and SSG than I thought.
When I see a Piccolo box, I can't stand it. I guess my weak point. In this world, human beings are put to the test with their weak points.
However, no BB trees have ever come out of my piccolo boxes. In fact, a tree that gives 1 BB a day will not do me any good. However, it's called obsession. There is nothing to do for this situation.

How many do you think is enough? I have 9 + 1 of them. But it's not enough

 

That's ten....

 

Wow, you're good at this. Realy, it was 10 when I added.

Since my 1st language is not English, I can make sentences that are often not understood. (Thanks for your understanding because of my sentences that could not be well established due to the language problem.)
What I really want to explain is: 1 howie fixed in the tree of wisdom. I am carrying("like a monkey carrying its baby") 9 Howie to all the fields.

 

I knew exactly what you meant, imalattanhalka. Now if BP would just let us multiply the howies in the wisdom tree so we didn't have to lug the howies around to different fields where they take up precious space.

Sewinglady's farm gave up the madness...still needed 300+ drops to get the piccolo box. Was happy to get the 3 crates of buffs and call it good.

This farm and PM23's got the cloud row.

Done.
