Herbarium (new FSQ)

Total requirements: 600 each of 24 fruits, in total 14400 fruits. For which see the FAQ.

Total rewards:

• 503 000 EP
• 125 700 BEP
• 325 900 CC
• 21 toolboxes (10 tools in each): 210 tools
• 25 turbo mulch
• 2 stickers
• 0 stars

Can be reactivated once completed.

Using the red punch index, I value 1 BEP as 5 CC and 1 EP as 2 CC, total worth of rewards (ignoring the last three):

• 503 000 * 2 + 125 700 * 5 + 325 900 = 1 960 400 CC, lets say 2M CC

Before this event was introduced, buying 600 tamarinds alone would cost about 2M CC, and that leaves 13800 more fruits. A rough calculation with the prices lately (will increase now) show that the whole quest would cost over 13M CC, and then I have capped the price of the new fruits at 3000CC.

I am aware that FSQ rewards are usually not good. But usually there are stars, and then there is the achievement of finishing something. This quest has no stars, and can be replayed (what for, I don't know). There isn't a single must have reward from this quest. The amount of tools and turbo mulch is laughable. And the EP, BEP and CC, is nowhere near worth it.

Maybe BP is more considerate than we think. They understand that we need cheering up, and here is something to laugh at! Only explanation I can find

Still, I am sure some will play it, and the prices increase, hopefully enough to make me a rich fruit grower

 

I look at the quest (FAQ) and then I think....
is that BP give us a late April Fool joke, beside those moles, another laughing joke
I won't do it. Even one day I had those rare trees & got enough qty. I won't do it.
Selling on market would earn much more than doing the quest!

 

And glad somebody else thought that. Having had a newsletter where they acknowledged their error in removing stars and then telling us there would be stars for permanent quests, we get a quest with no stars again . My mum has a saying "there's only so many times you can poke a cow before it kicks you" - well, I'm not doing this quest this time; vive la revolution!

 

At first I thought it was for the tools -- a good way to open toolboxes for when new tools are required but these toolboxes are only the basic ones. Many of the main farm fruits required are older trees that my 2nd farm does not have. The newer trees (from wonder trees) are still too hard to come by. This will be another quest that remains unfilled...much like the Sand Castle one asking for all the breeding stock. Not sure why the stickers are Diamond rewards of the final 2 levels of the quest! Even if stars had been included, it would still be too much....

Here on pnp, I was finally getting some quests done with more finished than remaining but poor old BW will have many more just sitting than ever finished. I have thoroughly enjoyed this game for 2.5 years and will be very sad when the day comes that I must look for another farming game but it sure feels like that is getting closer with every new 'improvement' BP makes.

 

Worthless quest.

No need to add anything to what Mir has already thoroughly explained.

They go on piling up disappointment. If they continue at this pace, soon disappointment will become a ridge...

(I will do some of the tasks, though, just as a way to compensate the impoverished nFHOs -roughly, by 20% in EP/B-EP yield- I've been consistently getting in the past few weeks. A zero sum game: nobody wins).

(Stickers? Some joke. I haven't bothered to even go to stickers album for over a year now).

 

This is true! 1 Buddha's hand fruit is 1400 CC in my market!

I don't care about permanent quests. I know my strategy is not good but it seems I don't care leveling up so fast. I wan't to have a full barn for events.

 

I am confused, where is this quest/event?

 

It will be introduced tomorrow
Here is the OA

Same opinion here. No stars = worthless + loss of faith in BP's policies

 

I am Shocked and Very Disappointed with BigPoint with This New FAQ.....Again Again Again BigPoint is not listening to our feedbacks and upsets about removed stars from FSQ and Events.

Why on Earth Bother to Bring an FAQ that is not appeals to us at all. The Rewards are Dismal

It is not worth the Donations of All These Rare Fruits. It is a Huge Insult to All Those who spend money on this Game Especially Buying Tree Seedings on Hoping Gaining New Rare Trees. This Quest is only for High Big Spenders who play this Game.

For Newbies and Those those who Struggle to Gain BB, Playing this Game This Quest is Totally Pointless

So Far to Date this is going to be the most Meaningless FAQ to Date !!!

We can get our Neighbours to Send us Toolboxes or Those Who have Hen House Pet. That Gives Toolboxes Twice a Day

I have never seen such a very very Mean FAQ in terms of Rewards for the Donations it is asking for
can
I actually do lots of Refinements of Crops can gain Better Tool Drops Results By Reaping my refined crops get the Tools I need to make a Production Pen or Colored Animal Pen....without the Need to Donate any Rare Fruits

All These Rare Fruits can be sold to the Markets for Better CC than FAQ gives

All CC Proceeds of selling Rare Fruits can be used to Buy Red Punches or Langos to Gain Bahm EP why bother with this FAQ

 

Good to know...but please

 

This one looks like those Comic things (between FSQs and Customer Orders). Won't be doing it either. (Buddha's Hands are 1900 on my market and there are only a handful of orders. Maybe I can make some CCs on this one.)

 

I really have to wonder what this rare fruits quest is really about, especially given that this is the last time for buddas hand and there are many of us who don't have it, almost feels like bait and switch.. give us mill for 2 weeks so that maybe we be grateful and empty barn of rare fruits for mediocre rewards. smh I just don't get it, of the trees I don't have I will not be paying excessive price in market for this quest.. I may do some of it, but am thinking it will sit there for a very long time before being completed.
I just went again and looked at faq... haha maybe do the first level then it will sit for who knows how long!
After reading other peoples thoughts/ reactions this little ditty popped into my head..and I think its apt....
I stuck my head in a little skunks hole, little skunk said well bless my soul , take it out, take it out, remooove it! I didn't take it out and the little skunk said if you don't take it out you'll wish you had... pshhhhhhhhh..... I removed it!

 

I will do it. Repeatedly...
Oh, oooops I forgot. I do not have those trees. If only they wanted Pomegranates and Pistachios only...

 

You can also think of it in a positive way. As long as prices are far to much, (because there are always players prepared to pay every price) you can make money out of it. And when most players finished the quest you can do the quest yourself.
I just stopped selling the loquat, because it didn't make 1000 cc anymore. Now I can sell them again. The previous quest for the loquat still needs to be done.

I was able to buy the fruits for the first level for less then 50 cc each. So paying 90.000 cc offers me over 90.000 EP.
I deliver the daily orders when I got at least 1 ep for every 2 cc, with te marketprices I'm used to.
I will do this quest the same way. Trees I harvest myself deliver at least fruits/products for 400 cc a day.

Maybe BP can make a quest for the other trees to? I would love to double the price.

Edit:The way -mir85- said in total it is worth 1 960 400 cc for a total of 14 400 fruits. You don't have a loss as soon as you can buy them for 136 cc each.

 

No stars!!!!!!! enough said

 

I agree, a joke, right! Thanks to Mir telling me about the filtering of quests (recently started), this will sit at the back of the queue and I don't even have to look at it!

I had to go and take another peak: are they really thinking that anyone would give away an apple for Turbo Mulch? Not a hint of Powerfeed. If there were even Stars, I might consider it but really ... Turbo Mulch. What are they thinking?

 

They are kidding, right?

 

One thing. No stars but diamond sticker's... Hm ...

 

Stickers.... you can keep 'em thanks BP. Such vast amounts of fruit in exchange for so little is mad, so I'll be giving this one a big miss - shall use the time re-stocking after the recent run of greedy events. Thanks but no thanks..

 

you said joke, it is a sick joke, I tried to find a single good thing about the reward and couldn't, I tried to laugh, also I couldn't, and what is about the tool boxes, it is the first time I see tool boxes that are not XL, XXL or XXXL, may be BP is thinking that their turbo mulch is so precious so they decided to give 5 for each diamond step, it is like adding insult to injury, this situation reminds me of a silly joke I heard in another life time, maybe 35 years ago, a kid ask his father who happened to be stingy to give him 50 cents, and the father said, did you say 40, why 30, 20 is enough, take this ten, 5 for you and five for your brother
