Hoppy Easter Strategy

53 drops collected. Now to planting the event seeds...

 

Already messed up....did not remember that after applying 'the works' to starter seeds, we get 90 seeds. I was thinking 45...that is when we get 5 seeds instead of 10. Other fields were planned to be done after round 2 so now have seeds waiting to be planted....*sigh*

 

I Had a Happy Easter Start of 179 Bouquet Holders, Started putting out Easter Lily, Gonna Try Grow as Many as I can, Already got Loads of Orchids and Tulips. I Cant Mill any Easter Bouquets until I build up good amount of Easter Lily First need to keep roughly 780 of them to fill those 1x1 Fields. I Try Aim at Least Making 200 Easter Bouquets. Just Need 100 of These to Get The Event Prizes for The cloud row.

I am Nuking some Refined Roses too. Wonder How Many Easter Bouquest I can Reap...You can have an Easter Guess LOL

 

I forgot to check after my first harvests but after harvesting my first batch of Easter lilies, I went and checked. I have 105 bouquet holders.

 

Thank you for information! I should then keep my not many stables and trees out for more drops then, I think. I find event fun! Easter bunny is cute.
Good luck to everyone!
Beautiful Easter to everyone!

 

I feel ridiculous asking this question...but I'm not sure.....what exactly is a "giver item"????

The cloud row says -5% time reduction for "giver items". Are these Ep givers? product givers? cc givers???

 

I have got started nicely, 99 Bouquet Holders on first harvest so not too bad I think!? Still need some more Orchids and Tulips but not too far off now. Can't wait to get some of those Bouquets done and given to the Bunnies...I'm hoping for a new tree or stable..I know it's a tall order but you never know!

@Brookeham ..as far as I know it means the decorations that are active giving EP and also I presume the Pets but I'm sure (and hoping) someone else more in the know will tell you!
@LilJenna ..you've done really well hun. You've become a 'familiar face' already!
Good luck everyone, hope you all get some great rewards and some lovely choccy Easter Eggs over the weekend!

 

giver items are usually the stuff in the Parks, EP/CC givers. We have a trade product... pesto? that also increases results. I never use it.

I find it interesting that whenever someone perceives the MODs to be under attack they often defend them by referring to them as "hard working". Even tho I can't not recall anyone ever saying they weren't. Being hard working does not make someone right. Neither does being in a position of power. Position of power can give them the final word.
On one hand they are conveying that they are stressed and overworked. On the other hand they are taking exception to some going outside this forum for information, thus saving them time. See the contradiction there?
The only other time there has been an issue of ppl posting info from other sites was over rumors about future events. Information leaks. BP then decided that anyone posting information from other sites would have to cite their source. They've done so in this thread. If I was multilingual I would probably read other language forums too. If for no other reason than to practice my skills. I believe in sharing information and would be inclined to post that information too.
The more I think about it... the more I think there is something the MODs know that we aren't privy to.

 

without opening up any angry feelings, how does the reduction actually work? Like the cloud row for feed? Reduces time for an hour and then reverts back to normal? So does it only help those givers that are actually less than an hour? Confused but not going to ask and risk it. Will just enjoy the EP/BEP and anything extra will just be a boost....

 

Hmmm.... don't know. I think the trade product is for the whole time. So your 12h giver would be... 12h-5% time. That might help with times when I harvest after 11:30h. Otherwise doesn't really matter. Whatever it does probably won't effect those of us that only harvest givers once or twice a day. Like me. I'll leave to Aluntino to ferret out the best way to use it. If his info works for me then I might change my schedule. Probably not.

EDIT:
Just logged in and checked... pesto is more EP from givers.
I just thought that the magic trees and BB trees are 24h. So ppl who work and log in every day at the same time, it would help them with the time slippage.

 

pnp and Suzee...I'm please you've broached this about the Cloud Rows as I have actually started a new thread in Game Related Chit Chat as I didn't want to be accused of hijacking the thread. It's mainly asking about the new Cloud Row that's for sale (-i.e is it worth buying?) but it asks about the EP giver time reduction etc as I'd like other players opinions on it. Don't know if either of would like to discuss it further over there or give your opinions on it?

 

The new CR works for (B)EP giver item as well as presto. It means working like EM, SW, or SRJ but only works for (B)EP giver item which not affected for CC giver item.

However, the new CR is different thing. It reduces time production, not give extra (B)EP.

 

There is no problem I understood which you are referring to. Unfortunately I don't have any of them.

 

I bought the CR on sale now (Prankster something, it's called): as SillyGuy has just mentioned, it boosts the EP/B-EP yield by 10% of each EP/B-EP-giver ready for harvest during 6 hs from the moment you activate it. Just as any other EP/B-EP-boosting buff. Potentially twice a day, since its cooldown time is 12 hs.

I bought it because I have all my parks fully optimized (the very best EP/B-EP-yielders are there, in B-EP/EP-yield/plot/hr terms) and every 12 hs it also yields 25*Baha level B-EPs (over 13K B-EPs/day for me) and 35*Farm level EPs.

Regarding the CR given as a prize of the Easter event, I think it's awesome. I understand it will reduce by 5% the total time-to-maturation of any EP/B-EP giver either placed or harvested and left where it is, during 1 hour (that is, the CR effect would last 1 hour, like the owl effect lasts 10 min). In other words, as an example, if an item's time is 10 hs till next readiness for harvest, it's cut to 09:30 hours. (It should work on the carousels: 40 hs cut to 38 ).

Besides, its cooldown time is 24 hs and B-EPs/EPs additional rewards when you activate it are almost exactly double those of the Prankster CR, that is, for example, for me, over 13K B-EPs/day.

 

I just done my 2nd Harvest of Easter Lily, As I wait until I harvest my 3rd Harvest to Build up a Float of Easter Lily Seedings. Then anything Surplus will goto the Mill Start Milling my Easter Bouquets.

I have so Far Managed to get 525 Bouquet Holders....I am going to buy the Prankster Cloud Row, as I too have lots of Bahm EP giver and EP Givers too. I Find this Cloud Row very useful as i can use it twice a day. I did a Summary as it will give me an Extra 20K plus Bahm EP Daily. As I was doing BFHO but the price of Island Animal have gone up so have crops and fruits too. I shall have this as an alternative Bahm EP Booster.

It will also help when you level up the island and adding Bahm EP Givers into the Shipwreck too. The Easter Cloud Row will reduce all EP Givers by 10% When used in Conjunction with Prankster Cloud Row is Helps all EP Givers that takes just over 12 to 14 Hours down to just under 12 Hours using Prankster Cloud can Reap these EP Givers Twice Daily Every 12 Hours

 

Two bouquets so far and I don't need anymore junk around this place

Gonna keep selling this junk and take the farmwife on an Easter Egg Hunt

She would want me to make the Event easier for the town folk

 

Well I think I can make 10 bouquets before being dragged off to the land that time forgot - can you tell how excited I am/how bad my FOCD is?

 

well after replanting farms had enough to make one bouquets per farm. Got 5000 coins, 5000 bahama ep and turbo mulch

Sorry didn't see place to post this until after, feel free to move it

 

I have made 2 bouquets so far. I got 5000 and 1000 baha xp from both eggs. The bunnies reappeared within 5 seconds or so. I am now making my first big batch of bouquets, but only had 246 holders so will need to plant big crops at night.


edit: sorry, don't come on this forum often and don't know where to find the stuff here like I did the old one. I didn't realize it had to be posted elsewhere. I'll just stay off again and read only so I don't post in the wrong place.

 

Btw guys, there's a thread in Game Related Chit Chat that villager99 started called Rewards from Bunnies in Hoppy Easter Event for us all to talk about which rewards we've got.
(If someone has already mentioned this then ignore this post! and I'm sorry I don't know how to add a link! )
