Thank you Peony for doing the sums.
I am in as far as I can go, using the XL Luminous Fuels mostly just using the basic Luminous Fuel if I can get a better prize.
Good luck all, chocks away Ginger!

 

Thanks for info, Peony. I shall skip this event and focus on other goals.
Ask that my friends and neighbors do not send me event drops - please give to those participating. Good luck to all the aviators - I shall cheer you on from the ground!

 

I'm also in I like quite a few of the rewards and really like that we can get double by using the XXL fuel, plus I like the cloud row. Anything that gives additional revenue, especially in MM area, is 2 puppy paws up from me.

The only drawback for me is that we have to use both MM fields. I really would have liked to use one of them for 'normal' MM items.

Hopefully the drop rate will be favorable as the drops will also be for the weekend quest.

Let's go!

 

Thanks, peony for starting the thread and crunching the numbers. I am also going to do this event, and I also hope the "drop rate"
is good as like pnp said, we also will need to get the drops for the Witch Cleaning weekend quest starting Friday using the same 2 lands! Good luck and Up,up,and away!

 

Thank you peony for starting the thread.

A few things have changed in this event: display will not show a progression bar and there's no need to use XXL fuel cans to double prizes as there's no curtain upgrades this time around. The 3 givers for the cloud row are offered at the end of race 2-3-4. The 3 givers are good EP/TEP givers, so players may want to get a second set.

	Getting cloud row + 3 givers	Getting cloud row + 6 (2x3) givers
Race 1	2730 Creepy Camelinas 162 Fuel cans 124 Sunflowers 14 Luminous Fuel XL 2 Luminous Fuel	2730 Creepy Camelinas 162 Fuel cans 124 Sunflowers 14 Luminous Fuel XL 2 Luminous Fuel
Race 2	3700 Creepy Camelinas 220 Fuel cans 160 Sunflowers 20 Luminous Fuel XL	4020 Creepy Camelinas 245 Fuel cans 176 Sunflowers 19 Luminous Fuel XL 2 Luminous Fuel 1 Luminous Fuel XXL
Race 3	4025 Creepy Camelinas 236 Fuel cans 180 Sunflowers 21 Luminous Fuel XL 2 Luminous fuel	4320 Creepy Camelinas 263 Fuel cans 186 Sunflowers 21 Luminous Fuel XL 1 Luminous Fuel 1 Luminous Fuel XXL
Race 4	4395 Creepy Camelinas 261 Fuel cans 196 Sunflowers 23 Luminous Fuel XL 2 Luminous Fuel	4690 Creepy Camelinas 285 Fuel cans 202 Sunflowers 23 Luminous Fuel XL 1 Luminous Fuel 1 Luminous Fuel XXL
Race 5	3955 Creepy Camelinas 235 Fuel cans 174 Sunflowers 21 Luminous Fuel XL 1 Luminous Fuel	3955 Creepy Camelinas 235 Fuel cans 174 Sunflowers 21 Luminous Fuel XL 1 Luminous Fuel
Total	18805 Creepy Camelinas 1117 Fuel cans 834 Sunflowers 99 Luminous Fuel XL 7 Luminous Fuel	19715 Creepy Camelinas 1190 Fuel cans 862 Sunflowers 98 Luminous Fuel XL 7 Luminous Fuel 3 Luminous Fuel XXL

Of course, there's a possibility to multiply each prizes by 2 with the Luminous Fuel XXL, all except the cloud row. There's a Piccolo Box and 1 Secret Seeding in Race 5 that could be doubled, a few colours MM critters too. Of course, that means more event crops/drops, sunflowers and milling.

Good luck everyone!

 

I must say no it doesnot
It makes it me unclear weather I want to go up or down
For me this is not an improvement

 

Thank you Northy, for figuring out how many Luminous fuels and XL fuels I might need for each race!
This is soooo helpful to me! Good luck and happy flying!

 

I'm with miekje9 on this one - changing the mechanics of the event is confusing. It's purdy, but it's confusing. I'm sure we'll get used to it, though.

I usually do this event on all 3 farms. I have a dear friend that is having surgery tomorrow, so I will get a late start as I am going to be at the hospital with her most of the day. I think I'll prep all 3 farms and then decide which ones are doing what on the fly (pun may be intended).

 

I am going to make my own for the fansite
i will post the pictures her
I hope I will finish it tonight still brainstorming on how not anymore

 

I couldn't focus on the game due to the busyness of my life these days and I missed preparing the full moons for the event. The mushroom forest is full of animals. Now I will prepare and see what happens. I even realized that I forgot to sell my event plants. I had nearly 5000 event plants. Unfortunately, I made a big loss.

 

I used to love this event but this time the graphics are too confusing for this old brain. Thanks a lot miekj9, Nordais and peony for all the information and charts. Using them, i'll give it a try.

To those participating the best of luck with the drops and to the others happy farming!

 

Is this REALLY so ???

"If the next step contains no reward, the Luminous Fuel XXL cannot be used."

 

Can we see the whole flight somehow in event window? I hate the small part, which is visible. It is hard to plan moves.

Yes, just like in previous events. It would be waste of fuel to use 2xreward fuel to nothing. Normal Luminous Fuel takes much less plants and fuels to move one step forward to empty space.

 

Anyway, nothing has changed, in my "small mind" both 1 and XXL are one and the same thing when the journey ahead is ONE. That's why I thought that XXL = 3 steps...

Sorry for my surprise.

I assume that nothing has changed, very much 3 steps (especially now, when it comes to record bad prizes!!!) we go with cans and the few and chosen ones are taken "double" then, with that XXL version

Thanks my friend Päärynä

 

You have not used any fuel yet? There is a lot, which have changed, but fuels work like they always worked.

 

I clicked on race and the numberin the lower righthand corner says 61
The way they made it now is realy confusing
race 1 says 44
I finished it put in 44 and the number says 45.
Do we get 1 bonus or something
And trying to navigate in doning a double price is even more complex because you cannot see were you are

Also for people with an eyesight problem this is not doable

Please can the mods give feedback to game design that this is once and never again like this

 

have never liked this event, dont like the game mechanics of it and they just keep making it harder to understand the gameplay...and to be honest the prizes for us higher level players are just not that appealing.
played it the first time they rolled it out and didnt enjoy it....never played it since and probably never will again.
anyway..for all of you attempting this event, good luck understanding how to get the best results for yourselves

 

FYI

If you compare this Event Air Race V7 Event there is less requirement of event crops milling biofuel , XL biofuel and Deluxe Biofuel

I always like this event because you can get to choose your prizes in your pre plan flights

Be warned Game design layout has changed this time may take a while to get use to it

From Memory playing Air Race V7 it wont let you use XXL deluxe fuel on 1st Event step , it be wise to pre plan your flights steps also choose upper or lower flights too Good Luck Everyone
