Happy Farm News 2nd edition

I did the Pick A Tree game and struck gold! I got a Midnight Oak, an Amberella tree, an XL Medusa Willow and an XL Sarcophagus tree. Best Barnyard Bucks I've spent in a long time.

 

Congratulations, enjoy your BB tree!

 

I got a double blessing today.

Last night I got rid of a LOT of yellow workshops and stables I ddn't want with the Farm Express. Yay!
A few minutes ago I opened my 5 new Mysterious stables. I got a pink horse, a red mouse, and orange anthill, falcon and robins. Score!

 

Amazing pnp!!!!! Congrats!!!

A few weeks ago I surpassed 40,000 stars.....in fact now almost 41k. I've purchased everything I want. I've used 21010.
I wish BP would add new things to the Tree of Wisdom.

 

Thank you Brooke

Wow! 41k Stars! I (only) have 25k

 

Wow! Great going Pups! I am crawling along with those FSQs but I know it can be done now I have seen your proof! Congratulations!

And Brooke, 41k Stars indeed! I have just over 12k and have bought everything available! How are you on Golden Bananas? I have over 7k but, again, I have opened everything.

My happy news is that I finished Parrot and Horse breeding FSQs during the current breeding event - small fry I know but chipping away, slowly but surely! I think that makes 13 down, 25 to go!

 

Congrats illy!

Not small fry at all! Each breeding quest takes a lot of animals and PF! Now that we get Happy Discount Days fairly regularly, it will certainly help Even getting one breeding quest is reason to celebrate, but you did 2! Happy Day!

 

Thanks Pups but what you have done is absolutely amazing!

 

Congrats puppiesnponies and illy1996

puppiesnponies you should post in the permanent forum competition thread that you had completed all the FSQs.

I put out some piccolo boxes over night and got a mighty mower, flower spray art ,magic tree and a BB tree.

 

I finished my last normal mainland FSQ back in late July and my last normal Baha FSQ (the level 800+ one) on September 9. For the rest, I decided to wait until October for the new Baha wonder stable and MM content update. I think waiting the 2 extra months really paid off for me so I have no regrets.

I've already had support check my account and my reward was waiting for me when I first logged in today.

 

Greenhouse Under-Utilized?
Have you run out of crops to Refine?
Use it to 'grow' Cress!​

Instead of a refinement, Cress can yield 8040 seeds. I load the maximum of 3500 seeds and this gives me three chances of getting the 8040 seeds or I may get some ep or ccs (or a refinement before those are filled). I don't think I have ever missed out on getting 1 out of 3 lots of 8040 and I can remember two lots of 3 x 8040!
Of course, there are far better rewards in refining other plants, but they need lots of crops. I want to refine amaranth, but the crop's standard time is thirty hours!

Has anyone noticed any other crops that can give a seed return over 100%?
Please let me know! Cheers! Happy farming, everyone!

 

Great find David!

I am working my way through refinements as a sideline. I have tended to avoid short growing crops and those requiring lots of crops. I have done a lot of the ones with medium crop requirements so now have to clench my teeth and throw in larger quantities. Cress takes 3,500 crops - - but on the first attempt, no refinement but 8,040 Cress! Result!
I am now wondering if any of the other lower crops give such amazing rewards for failed refinements!
Thank you David.


Experiments:
Wheat takes 3,400 and gives 540.
Lettuce takes 2,000 but gives 1,200 each time there is no refinement so if you got two lots of crops, you have already got what you laid out.
Carrot takes 2,300 and gives 780 for a non-refinement which would just pay for itself if you got this three times.

Hay takes 1,200 and gives 390 for a non-refinement so even if you got this three times, you would not recoup the outlay.

So, the best crops to "refine" are Cress but Carrot could recoup the outlay if very lucky. My strategy will be to continue with Cress until I achieve the last couple of refinements and build up my stock instead of planting them. I guess that, if I used the refinements for Cress, it will be practically done before I've planted it! Can't look at the moment but once my Refinery is empty, I will check it out!

 

I got a BB tree and two decorations that award BBs from the three latest piccolos

 

Congratulations, I am very happy for you! I have not put mine out yet as I am giving them time to decide to turn into something good like what you just got!

 

Congrats on the BB tree!

 

Are you sure that's good idea? If I give them time, they'll turn into another Undead Treasure .

 

Wheat takes 3,400 and gives 540 for a non-refinement.
Lettuce takes 2,000 but gives 1,200 each time there is no refinement so if you got two lots of crops, you have already.
Carrot takes 2,300 and gives 780 for a non-refinement which could just pay for itself if you got this three times.
Hay takes 1,200 and gives 390 for a non-refinement so even if you got this three times, you would not recoup the outlay.

So you found the best short crop to refine - Cress! What a find! Lettuce comes a close second. I will build up my Cress and Lettuce crops and not accept the last refinements so I can keep it them going to save planting. Thanks yet again, David.

 

Thanks David for the great cress tip! Seriously a good find!!

I'm a real hoarder and never use anything I win, grow or get. Hats off to all of you that finish the FSQ! I can't part with a singel thing and haven't completed more than a handfull. But yesterday I put out 2 of my 49 Piccolos and AY CARAMBA one turned out to be a BB tree. Just had to share

 

@hatzeva , I'm with you, I do tend to be a hoarder on the farm but not as bad as you! A big congratulations on getting a
BB Tree! I wonder how many more you might have in those Piccolo boxes! Good luck and Happy farming!
