You will need to breed animals to receive the Bundle O' Folk Stories. Once opened, they provide you with some starter seeds for each event crop. For each breeding process completed, you will receive 1 x Bundle O' Folk Stories!

Thanks, *WisdomTree* for doing the sums - I couldn't get my head round it.

Correct me if I am wrong but we could, in theory, do the event without planting crops, given enough PF. I calculate (and we all know what my sums are like! ) that for about 500 PF (during the Happy Discount Day), we would get enough crops to complete the event. Please tell me if I am wrong as I would hate to mislead others with my crazy plan!

 

Since the event will be on the green meadow, why not use it for event plants?

But using the power feed we get the required event crops with 490 breedings.
490 breedings = 490 Bundle O' Folk Stories

490 Bundle O' Folk Stories gives us:
1,470 x Heirloom Corns
1,960 x Pink Valerians
1,470 x Doggy Delights
1960 x Donkey's Tails

 

Thank you *WisdomTree* for the tables and numbers. Seems that the event crops can be grown on the Main field and not the Green Meadow.

Now my question is why would they ask for the same amount of breeding animals in certain sections but 2 out of 3 would only allow you to progress 2 steps and not 3? I do hope that newer players won't fall for that trap and donate in the wrong requirements!

That last giver FARMERAMA Town Musicians Redux is a must have for me so I'm in!

The Babyboom, Farm-Coin-Palooza and Happy Discount Day will Start: Thursday, 13th of July at 10:00 CEST (UTC+2) End: Friday, 14th of July at 22:00 CEST (UTC+2) so 490 power feed is not that expensive to get that giver!

 

The FAQ is wrong. They will fix soon.

I hope, too.

 

Went to the German forum and copy/paste for translation and yeah, Green (wild) Meadow... but I don't care I'll breed myself out of that event!

 

That's great - I am taking a break from planting and building up my animal stocks plus I am working on breeding FSQs so breeding suits me too. I get to do the event, no planting (no SG, no SSG, no CAC) and using the +200% and +100% harvest revenue in the Diamond slot means I get more for my animal feed! Win win!

 

Well the cloud row is a big ol' whoop-de-doo. But there are some decent prizes, including the givers if we just plunk 'em on the park.

So the green meadow, too? So now all the, um, "stuff" (I really want to use a different word there) I moved to the green meadow yesterday afternoon has to be pulled up?

We'll see. I might just try breeding through it. We do get a discount day all day Thursday and part of Friday.

Reread that FAQ - on second thought, that CR isn't so awful.

 

Hang on.... where did this event come from? Pfft.

So this weekend we will have 3 EVENTS GOING AT ONCE?

 

Changes have been made: the booster jumped from 120% to 250% now for 4h (not 24h - typo in the event as of now that will be corrected). The last giver was and is still the best thing that comes out of this event.

 

Yup! Only the Rainforest and Crystal Falls both in baha will be left for "normal" farming, that is if your intent is to play all 3 events!

 

Where's that big ol' finger emoji

Thinking I might not go for the cloud row...someone correct me if I am reading the FAQ incorrectly please. The CR is 250% bonus on stables/workshops. Yet each individual giver is a bonus on ALL items EP. So includes givers... thats such a better boost that just the CR.

EDIT - nevermind I see what I have miscalculated. The CR will be better for stables etc overall.

 

I think it's just two events this weekend. The event that is multiple weekends is EVERY OTHER weekend, so we get this weekend off. At least I sincerely hope we do.

Besides we should be done with the breeding event in no time - gotta get through it while we have the discount day/baby boom!

 

dumbunny - Summer Games Weekend Quest II (on Baha) is this weekend.

 

The summer weekend event is this weekend:

Weekend 2: 15th of July at 14:00 CEST - 17th of July at 22:00 CEST

All done with the breeding event, all that clicking is a little boring but the animals themselves are oh! so very adorable!

 

So, have I got this right?
- You can choose only to breed....any animals...? And it will give you all the crops you need?
- You can also choose to breed only a little bit, which will give you event crop seeds which will behave as normal (if very long growing) in that you can harvest and replant the harvested seeds?

 

Oh crumb! That means I'm going to have to move all the Howies to the Baha field for tomorrow's harvest, plus I need to put in 24 hour crops right now!

And yes, Shimmer, you can do this whole event with just breeding animals - I recommend you breed horse, chicken, dogs and cats as we need them for several levels.

Sewinglady's farm has finished this event completely - no planting.

 

Dear Wisdom Tree, thank you for running the numbers and for all info. I am truly in awe at how you put all that together so quickly. It took me ten minutes to figure out that the crates from breeding went to my inventory and had to be opened there before they show as available for planting! Ha, no idea how far I'll get with this. Just going to do what I can and not stress.

Thanks everyone for the reminder of the Baha weekend event...I totally forgot that and want to do it. Really appreciate all the help found here in the Forum! Well done, all of you!

The game is surely giving my grey cells a good workout!

 

There is no need to grow those event plants if you breed a lot of animals.

 

Yes, that's right

I chose to breed for all the crops, but yes, you can choose a combination of breeding and/or planting. I had enough PF so I was able to keep that field open for what I want/need to grow.
