Difficulty: Medium - Hard
* From what level can we participate in this event?

* What is special about this event?

• There will be three special event crops:

Green Clover

Time: 5 hours and 30 minutes
Gives (2x2): 220 EP
Plantable on the Main field only!

Yellow Clover

Time: 6 hours
Gives (2x2): 240 TEP
Plantable on the Bahamarama Plantation only!

Purple Clover

Time: 5 hours
Gives (2x2): 200 EP
Plantable on the Full moon field only!

Note: There is no booking of event crops. To grow the required crops, you need the Flower Bulb to craft the crops in the mill to get some starter seeds. Once you have as many starter seeds as you need, when harvested, you can continue to grow the event crops of that colour.

• There will be a special event item:
  Flower Bulb
  
  Every player will receive 5 Flower Bulbs at the start of event. If you drop under 5 bulbs the system will check every 5 hours and replenish up to 5 bulbs.

These bulbs are needed along with the tinctures rewarded in event layer to Mill the event crops to plant.

• There will be a special event drop:

Will-o’-the-Wisp

You will get these drops when harvesting your crops and trees on the Main field, Bahamarama plantation and Full Moon field only!
The clever trick in this event is to 'store' the flower bulbs in the mill where they Won't get used!
Say you are working on the Moonlight crop. To get a head start on the next say, Baha crop,
load up your Baha Mill with about 12+ hours of something you need and then in slot two or three, load to make five purple clovers. The system will see you have no flower bulbs and give you five more. (This can take up to five hours) Then delete your five in the mill queue and reload it as ten! This can be repeated to 'store' 15, 20 and so on. So when you go to start the second or third event crop you delete the un-made purples, and change them to yellows (or greens) and you can start with more than five crops!
I load one mill with 12+ hours but I keep the other on a short leash especially when I am about to finish one crop.
The last two levels from Moonlight and Main fields are 954 and 1145, with Baha being slightly less at 744 and 892. Drops are hard at 1830 but we have two fields available for long crops while we do event crop on the third...

 

Thanks for starting this thread davidblyth007 - and reminding me this morning to get those bulbs in the end of the milling queue to maximise those freebies.

I have finished the MM field crops and am working on the Baha field now. I did win the +1 crop twice yesterday and once today so that hurries things up a bit.

Good luck all!

 

Thanks davidb1 for starting the thread and for all your time posting it! With less and less activity on our EN forum I
worry we might some day lose our forum too! Good luck with the event!

 

Thanks for starting the thread . The event is over. Quarantine days event.
The English forum is not closed because it is in an international language. It is a very secluded forum. However, it is not closed for the reason I mentioned.

 

I used CFs for the Baha section just so I can finish quicker and get back to some normal farming while I can. I calculated to practically the last seed needed, seeded and nuked the CFs, put out 1x1s on the remaining plots, intending to put out Grapes as they would be the same timing as the nuked event crop and ... anyone guess?
Seeded Yellow Clover again! I had to nuke them or I wouldn't be able to start the next Clover!
I have 15 seeds in the mill waiting for me to mill 15 Green Clover - just watch me pick the wrong colour seeds!
I think I need a refresher course in how to do events!

Edit: Additional error! Planted Flax which is not ready when I want to plant the event crop this morning cos I can't get my timing right!

 

Can someone please teach me how to add and subtract properly? I messed up twice already.

 

I am skipping this event even though I like the cloud row very much. I very much want to be active in the game and forum like before. But I somewhat don't have the strength like before. So I am trying to regain it by taking rest. I have given myself one year time to replenish myself, physically, mentally and emotionally. I wish players won't fall off from the game. Forum has become very silent now a days. We should do something to make it exciting and colourful. I am thinking... so as what to do to make our forum attractive...

We need more interactive threads so that players can easily post very often.

Only now I realised the drop is named Will-O- Wisp. @Willow (@Will*O*Wisp)

 

Oh, I hope that you have a successful recovery 12ss12!

I'm all done with growing, and am hoping my crops will bring me enough will-o-wisps for the cloud row!

I took advantage of the discount/baby boom combination, hoping to finish the "Castles in the Sand" quest - wouldn't you know it, the ONLY skips I got skipped over the Circus Panda, the only thing I need to finish that quest! LOL!

 

Thanks for all the hard work on the thread! Your tip about the mill was great -- I just wish I had read this thread before the event finished. However I will try to remember it for next time. I managed to finish the event just under the wire, which is par for the course for me. Still, I am happy to have finished it and gotten the cloud row!
