Treasures of the Past

It's like watching paint dry, but making headway slowly, patience is not my forte.

I have been looking at the new FSQ for the 'Eerie Manufactory', it's a shame we don't have a game strategy thread for FSQs, although I should be able to complete it from the barn, for those that can't it would be helpful to have a strategy to complete as MM is a limited time-wise.

 

There's no way you can cheat your way out for MM FSQs: if its asking for MM tree fruits, you have to grow some. Over the years BP has offered lots of MM boosting + MM crates cloud rows and now with the Eidelweiss Valley you can boost your trees' production too. I've aligned all of my MM boosting cloud rows together for trees, animals & manufactories. With the 2 MM boosting pets too also aligned I then use the MM +2 Boosters for 24h. I'm already done with the Eerie Manufactory FSQ and just about to be done with the new MM critter one too (I just need time to raise those kitsune critters).

In inentory I have between 12000 (grave cactus fruits) and 48000 (creepy oak) tree fruits, over 9000 critters (except the kitsume) of each and over 5000 MM products. I have over a 1000 MM food for each (600 for the kitsune) and trying to keep at least 60000 of each
MM crops in inventory. Things are easier now that MM is opened alot throught the year. You'll get there, eventually.

 

Thank you Nordais,

After re-reading your post a couple of times, I had to laugh when it dawned on me that I'm in the UK and what you call 'inventory' is called the 'Barn' here.

So I agree that paying your way through by FSQs is not the way to go. I have completed all MM FSQs by just farming. In terms of the subject matter for crops & Trees I used 'Terror Eggplants' as I have loads, and 'Duskshadow Bloom' as it is the best exchange rate. MM animals & breeding animals' I used just spare breeding animals. 'MM Products & Tools' was just what I had in the inventory to get them all to the same amount within the inventory, tools are hard to come by and are needed throughout the game, so I would only use them if I'm desperate to finish a quest.

I just noticed in your post a comment about the 'Full Moon Harvest Booster', I didn't realize this until I accidentally activated a second 'full Moon Harvest Booster' while one was already running makes it a +4 rather than a +2, I thought they would run serially as I expected rather than concurrently. All is good though as I have quite a lot of them.

 

I have completed the event ! I hope my piccolo box turns into something good! I can now use the rest of the time to grow and replenish my MM crops, trees and critters. I did get 2 of the Kitsune critters so I will try to get as many of those as I can!
Good luck to all doing the event I know you can reach your goals!
Edit: My Piccolo Box turned into "The Magic Hat" 4BB's x 40

 

Oh I think this farm is in trouble. I'm going to have to spend BBs to get those givers for the CR. Phooey. This is because I've missed a couple harvests of the towers. Real life sometimes gets in the way of farming.

 

I have grown all the green, purple and yellow plants but I've still got one ancient key left over and I can't figure out what to do with it?

 

I also didn't know MM + Harvest Boosters would double our result. Just wondering if any other + boosters you may have activated increased the + MM booster from +2 to +4 rather than the two working together to make +4.

I used +2 MM harvest booster in addition to a regular stable + booster and a few hours boost from a CR, plus the Stable + booster from Season shop. I'm out of MM + stable boosters now so can't test to see if they would work concurrently.

My game has been very slow the past two days when performing all Harvest Helper actions. Nothing I've done fixes the issues. In another thread, it seems an improvement was recently made which benefitted some, but seems to have had the opposite effect for others

 

There's nothing to do with it! Since players can chose any of the 3 paths as a start, the event has to be sure that players will be able to get another Ancient Key to open the next path so all 3 paths offer 1 Ancient key at its end. Add that to the one the event books at the beginning and you handup with 4...

I'm also having lots of problems with the harvester, super slow animations for EP/TEP spreading from the top left 1x1 plot into a !"wave" until it reaches the last 1x1 plot in my 202 fields, after that sugars/salts will appear in bubbles over the plot where it came from and then I get the flying tools!

Let me just mention that when I water fields, if by chance I don't have enough water, by refilling my water tank and watering the rest of the field, the first watered plots will lose their water drop and show the original growth time of the crop. I have to exit the field, get into a second one then come back to it to make sure that the water reduction time has taken effect...

 

All the puzzles have been solved, all the awards have been received, setting the clock is perfect, you never forget the ambers and now I still have 25 ambers left, congratulations to those who finished, good luck to those who continue.

 

I also did not know this about the MM boosters. Happy to know it now!
Having the exact same issues as you regarding game performance.
Slooooooooooooow ....

 

There is a twelve hour Baby Boom / Discount Day starting in Nine Eight Six No Hours !!
​

 

Aaaaand we're off

Also plugging away on the main event. Really enjoying the slow pace and all the benefits (free farming) that comes with it.

 

Considering my dodgy start, indecision and general numptiness, I have managed to do the crops and am on my way to getting the CR items. If (and this is always doubtful) I remember to collect the Ambers, I will only be one puzzle short of finishing - I will opt for the Crate of Somethings as I always have plenty of Crates.
Good luck everybody!

 

I have completed all puzzles and the event and I also have 1 Ancient Key! I also don't know why!

 

Good going Sanddollar15!

I was just about to finish for the day when I realised I hadn't collected my Ambers!

 

Reaching the end of a path will reward 1 Ancien Key, so that makes 3 when finishing everything + 1 booked at the beginning of event, bringing the total to 4 Ancien Keys. Since players can chose in which order they play the paths, taking out 1 Ancien Key at the end of a path would bring some players into a dead-end, not something anyone of us wants!

Me bad: just got hit with a "non responding" standalone client msg...
