Strategy: Farm express

Two more gave a dog and a orange sheep shearing shed

That is 14 in total with the best thing a moose music hall, but nothing I am really happy about. But now I have invested so much that I just have to keep going. My luck has got to change sometime right? Would like a perfumery and a red or pink stable

 

Congrats to those that got the Perfumery. I just got an orange dog and an orange shearing shed rabbit.

Thanks meba. I put mine in the magical glade before this.so now I put another 2 in the Green Meadow.will see what will I get there..Hopefully no more yellow egg farm this time. wish me luck..

 

Hope you get what you are looking for Mir
My second train was one orange goat dairy I will get more but I do it slowly

 

These are all my results so far, in order
Yellow Chameleon
Red Rabbit (keeping!)
Yellow horse
Orange dog
Dog (Orange dog and base set available to trade next gift & trade, then)
Orange chicken (keeping!)
Yellow duck
Orange rodeo ranch (possibly keeping)
Yellow turkey
PERFUMERY!!!!

Question - why does the perfumery appear to contain 3 ornamental cabbages? (the pink things on the ground). Cabbage leaf scent isn't a good thing to add to perfume AT ALL.

 

so far I've got 2 perfumery that is noteworthy
all the rest went back on the train
really want a pink pen don't care what as I don't have 1

 

Yes it would, I was giving up yesterday after 18 rounds on the train, all I got was a pink cow shed which I had before and 2 orange dogs, the rest were yellow stalls and workshops, even worse an ordinary goat diary, and a lot of raccoons, then I started to consider the cost, it was big, I have shipped some jumbo stables and yellow upgrades and even some rare which I had over 15 of them, and I was totally unhappy , yesterday was a very busy day, I was at the hospital doing check ups before I leave for vacation, and all were ok and I was happy about that, but the train killed that happiness, then I realized I reached the point of no return, I have to keep pushing up, and if it is a loss let it be, I still have many to throw on the train, that well not effect my playing strategy.

the first thing I did this morning was to harvest my Mistry cargo and here it was my first perfumery, which made me happy just like a child, and for the secret stables I purchased 38 and stopped, the notable results were 3 Tortoise habitats, 1 platypus, and 1 kiwi, I got some orange and a lot of yellow and the classic beaver dam II, which was ok, I am happy about that no complains, I was using my main field, and now I changed the setup and started using the magical glade hoping for another perfumery, may be today will have a change of luck for me. good luck for you all

 

My "last" harvest of mystery stables: Orange Dog on this farm and Illy got an Orange Dog (I'm seeing a pattern here!) and ... drum roll ... Pink Ostrich Pen which I am very happy with. It sits in my glade next to a newly acquired Pink Ostrich Egg Pen (a gift from a very special neighbour).

So what to do? Stop now or carry on? The Orange Dogs nearly meet the quota required so why not throw in another couple of yellows and see what happens, repeat cycle until I get that Perfumery!

Hope you all get one too ... don't want to be in a club that's too exclusive lol!

 

orange chicken and Perfumery on BW. Happy with that but no red/pink pens or textile mill.

Pnp: textile mill, red turkey, and Perfumery

No pinks here either but very happy both farms have sweet smelling stuff (much better than dog poop).

Haven't decided what to do now...keep going? Keep trying for a textile for BW? There is a risk that it will be a long time before next G/T since we just had one and also that they will be excluded.

 

Yay! Good for you Pups! Me, I got another Music Hall Moose on Illy lol - speeded it with up with 2BBs too, hoping that might help! Now I have four! I remember how precious the first one was! It's still one of my best gifts from G&T!

One more to go on this farm then I am really done.

 

Congrats to those that got a good stuff. I'm still trying to get those perfumery.

Well done on your Pink Ostrich pen Aunty Illy..You got 2 pink pens from this luxury cargo right? You were so lucky. I'm happy for you.

I used the same strategy...I put my luxury cargoes next to a pink horse stable that I've built myself ( I invested almost 7 Million bought those 2 Pegahorn early January this year). I never regretted spending lots of money on that precious pink horse because I love Unicorn very much.


First round I got an orange crow hoard and a Music hall and

2nd round..drum roll please.. I got a Pink Ostrich Pen. Yayyyy!!! I'm so happy!Doing a happy dance with my lovely cat!

 

It took 23 tries on the train, but I finally got a perfumery!!!

I've just sent my 24th train off, and it will be my last. I've thinned my inventory down to the point where the only way I can keep trading is to sacrifice more albino bats or buy 100k cc panda habitats, so I think I'll just let the idea of a textile mill go (unless it comes in on #24!!).

So in the end, I got the Music Hall (but still have no mooses - meeces?! LOL), the dog kennel with the orange upgrade, 2 orange upgrades for my donkeys, a red rabbit, and a red pigsty, but nearly everything else went back on the train. Was really disappointed by how many yellow stables and classic beaver II stables turned up not only on the train, but in the few wonder stables I was able to buy.

But ... I got a perfumery!!!

Congrats to all those who got what they wanted, and good luck to those of you still trying.

 

I am asking for suggestions so don't hit me too hard with a bread roll

I know we all want the new workshop (me included) but am finding it difficult to sustain my enthusiasm for the event.

1250 points is such a large investment. I don't know the point value of the perfumery (mine is on the field) but the other prizes for Moose Music Hall is 150, dog is 410 and the orange upgrade is 520. Pink stables are one, if not the, most coveted pen in the game and are only worth 300. I do still have basic workshops with yellow upgrades to 'fill in' the point value required but it is the larger amounts that are needed from rare pens that has me rethinking if I should continue. I wonder if it is better to keep the rare pens I have to trade with next G/T (whenever that will be) as I wonder if I could get more things for what I have left than gambling on the train.

suggestions? Is it worth continuing when every prize is much lower than its investment?

 

Hi!

Update: My last four luxury cargoes turned into:
Orange rabbit shearing shed (possibly useful, but I already have a red one)
Orange beehive
Moose music hall (good for G&T)
Red chicken (keeping, as this is my first chicken higher than orange)

Having gotten a perfumery and some red/pink stalls, I figure I've gotten my investment back, but I'm done for this event.

I have to agree with you about the enthusiasm PnP, It's like that child whom gets a balloon only to have it burst a short while later, happens over and over...
# 19 is cooking, Used a variety of combo's, we'll see

Continued Good Luck to all !

 

pnp
for your question. I think the point is, What you expect from the train.
If perfumery is main target. Then go for it. Other stuff. I think it don't
worth!
As you know. BP may not let us trade/gift the perfumery workshop for
next G&T.
So, for player really want the perfumery (product). she/he should try
her/his best to get it under circumstances she/he could afford the cost.
For other stuff come from train. If could spend BB, better to invest on
wonder stable. Or just keep the rare stable for next G&T event.

 

I got a red turkey pen and an orange cookware forge. I put them in the Green Meadow.

I've invested more than 2 M buying Bahamarama pens to "feed the train." I bought the pens that Mir has suggested. I'm still trying for the perfumery. I'll stop feeding this luxury train when I've got the perfumery or when I give up at some point later.

@ PNP ~ You don't have to throw your rare pens. Keep them. You can buy Baha pens. You can get back money by selling stuff.It's up to you.

 

pnp, I would stop. You got the perfumery, I doubt you need more than one. I think
running one is hard enough since it takes three butterflies. It would of course be nice to have an extra for G&T, but who knows if they will even be tradeable. Red and pink pens are of course great, but red pens are not terribly difficult to build yourself. I see several people are getting pink pens, but I think it is too much of a gamble to keep going just for that.

The only thing I would consider is going for the textile mill on BW, if you really want it.

This is just my personal opinion, it is very hard to say if it is worth it. But if your enthusiasm is gone, I think that is a good indication for what to do


Edit: Got a red horse Now if I could just get a perfumery (or a pinkie) I'd be happy

 

You are right. Thank you. Now I feel better

 

3rd round... Got a textile mill.

 

puppiesnponies,

I mostly agree with Mir.

But you must assess/bet about if those "rare" stables will still be so rare by next BG&T (the 40 cat kennels I had at current event start bore witness to the dwindling "rareness" of some stables, as the 40+ moles, the 18 hedgehogs and so on...). In my experience I never have either the time or the energy (BG&Ts tend to happen mid-week, when I'm most busy) to trade most of those zillion of "rare" pens for something I really want or consider worthy. Of course, I'm keeping most of them. But I realize I seldom use them and, when I do, I generally need to do other animals at the same time and end up using not so many of them.

I got the perfumery from the first 3 I planted -which came along a yellow egg farm..-, and so far I sent 17 rides; 3 of them waiting to be planted. I've thrown 24 "rare" 410 points pens in total on the train, which is not dangerous given the so many I have. I also threw the 5 yellow bat roosts: I get all the bats I need -and more- from breeding albinos (and, if I happen to need more, which I doubt, I have two pairs of orange and red upgrades that of course I'm keeping). I may send other rides, but I'll see.

I also got a pink beehive + several other highly valuable outcomes: 2 MHs to be traded if I can, an orange ostrich egg workshop, an orange cookware forge, an orange koi pond plus a couple of beaver ClassicIIs -I have too many of them now, but I bet it'll be the next breeding animal: their value will then be realized (I already value them a lot)-. That's a very good outcome if I consider I've already got rid of all the unnecessary workshops -I only kept the red goat dairy-, included the ones I got from both the train and the Mystery Stables event.

What I really want now is another textile mill. I only have the one from the event, and nFHOs ask for blankets by truckloads -along with snorkels, sails, pots, ostrich eggs, etc....-, all the time, day after day; some of them can be bought but it's hard to spend, for instance, 300K CCs per day just to keep up with the demand of blankets....., insane. I can really tell from the posts here who are the ones who do nFHOs and who don't: the ones who don't seem not to realize the value of the orange workshops.

Regarding the perfumery, again I agree with Mir, but I must say I'd like one more, precisely for what I've just said, as I really want that additional textile mill, but also because I want to quickly be able to get those two sail factories from the new quest. Afterwards, we'll see.

All in all, then, I think that this is a much better use of those "rare" pens, as opposed to them being just dust collectors in barn (but I won't overdo: I won't throw too many). Much better if they help getting rid of those unnecessary workshops....
