"Shopping Spree" Weekend Quests

This is a 3 weekend timed quests event. This time around, there's no need to rip out the Main field and Green Meadow, it only asks for drops.

Weekend 1: 21st of March at 10:00 CET - 23rd of March at 14:00 CET	Weekend 2: 28th of March at 10:00 CET - 30th of March at 14:00 CET	Weekend 3: 4th of April at 10:00 CET - 6th of April at 14:00 CET
Candy Bag You will get these drops when harvesting your crops and trees on the Main Field and Green Meadow only! You will receive 2 x Candy Bags with each breeding process completed.	Sweet Scoop You will get these drops when harvesting your crops and trees on the 3 tropical lands only! You have a medium chance of receiving 1 x Sweet Scoop with each breeding process completed.	Coin Purse You will get these drops when harvesting your stables on the Main Field and Green Meadow only! You will receive 2 x Coin Purses with each breeding process completed.
To get the cloud row Level 1-2-3 only silver step Level 4 silver/gold/diamond steps: 360 Candy Bags	To get the cloud row Level 1-2-3 only silver step Level 4 silver/gold/diamond steps: 290 Sweet Scoops	To get the cloud row Level 1-2-3 only silver step Level 4 silver/gold/diamond steps: 360 Coin Purses
Complete the event (all 4 levels & all steps): 483 Candy Bags	Complete the event (all 4 levels & all steps): 400 Sweet Scoops	Complete the event (all 4 levels & all steps): 483 Coin Purses

The cloud row itself is only EP/TEP with a bonus of 200% EP/TEP on animal stalls. Nothing worth mentioning. But some steps offer Season Points, some power feed, super grow and Suzy's super grow as well.

The amount of drops needed seem small, but with the fact that some drops can also be won with breeding, players should expect the drop rate to be really low (not to say abysmal).

Good luck everyone!

EDIT:

The Coin Purse drop on the third weekend will come from stables on the Main land and Green Meadow.

 

Thanks Nordais, for doing the sums.

What's not to like? Just plant and collect drops for a couple of days. No event crops and no milling. Oh, and collect prizes! I'm in!

 

I'm in too! Just farm as I need to. Perfect!

 

Normal farming and bonus prizes for doing it? Cool.

Northy, thanks for the nice graphic so I know what I'm doing. I don't know how you distill all that info from the FAQ's down, but I am so glad that you do!

 

"The event is not so bad.
Not the Worst event Ever.
I'll un-ignore it."
​

 

I am in.

 

Rewards for doing our own style of farming? Woot, woot! Yay and thank you, Northy for posting details. I'd not trusted my own eyes nor interpretation of FAQs...seemed too good to be true

 

Easy- peasy!

 

A change has been made: the Coin Purse drop (3rd weekend) will come from stables only on the main land and Green meadow.

 

Knew it was too good to be true Guess they want us to do breeding or buy PF. My mill's churning it out, but doubt I'll use it for breeding. Maybe an overlapping breeding event is on the horizon? Will have to see how things are when the time comes.

I just planted long-grow overnight crops as drops have been meager today. 61 and need over 250 more for the CR just doing 1-3 silver and 4 silver/gold/diamond. Hopefully tomorrow will bring better results. Good luck everyone!

PS for future planning, looking for suggestions for stable to fill the three tropical lands...assume this means no workshops, only stables to get drops. Do colored stables work better? Certain critters better than others? Wonder vs regular?

 

Hi Meadow, changes have been made for the last week-end (Starting 4th April), you need to put stables on Main Field and Green Meadow.

Coin Purse

You will get these drops when harvesting your stables on the Main Field and Green Meadow only!

You will receive 2 x Coin Purses with each breeding process completed.

Available from: 4th April at 10:00 CET to 6th April at 14:00 CET

 

I would move any Menageries to the Main Field or Green Meadow (a possible 8 drops from each Menagerie).

I would then put out all the longest stables (probably not workshops) I have and possibly the highest upgrades of these to fill both fields. I will attempt to have them ready to harvest at the start of the event.

Dependent on how many drops I get, I will set them to go to the next day and/or give them PF to speed them up. But I am hoping there will be a BB at least and (a girl can dream) a Happy Discount Day during this event. I would prefer to get the definite two drops from breeding plus make some impact of the two MM FSQs I have outstanding.
That is my plan but we all know how that goes!

 

Finished Shopping Spree 1

My plan for the final weekend is similar to illy's. Menageries filled and long stables with upgrades on the rest of the field.

I have enough Flower Spray Arts saved that I can do instant stables with just normal feed and save any PF for breeding. With over 400 drops needed for the complete quest, it may prove to be necessary to do more than just 'normal' harvesting. I will initially plan on just what is needed for the cloud row and then fill in any missing levels if drops are ok.

Plenty of time to determine a final strategy at the onset.

 

I am almost done, I need a couple of drops, which I will get in couple of hours, when I can harvest my fields.

My plan for last weekend is to fill main farm and green meadow with menageries and long stables, which should be ready, when event starts. I won't use any power feed. I will change stables to "mid" long stables after that. I can harvest them twice or three times in same time as long stables (24h or more) and I will probably get more drops that way.
Or I just have instant stables, I have plenty of feed after I had previous one, but I am waiting to get at least one new stable I am still missing or all of them.
