Strategy: Friendship Event: Party Animals!

first harvest, around 2 & half full field of carnation, baha 70% grow ginger, I need to keep much
baha trees.
I got 133 drops(using howie Donut), as not fully clear my field to prepare for event.
the drop rate look like similar with previous event. But need to wait for the whole day 24 hr.
Then I should know if I could stand with the event drops.

 

I had 3 fields of refined carnations and about 90% of the island in Ginger....got 160 drops. That's the daily average needed. So far so good.

 

Island full of trees, 2 and a half fields of carnations and half a field of jumbo trees gave me 162. So on track after the first harvest.

 

Well, I was a rebel and decided to place animals so they would be ready as soon as the event started! So I timed it out and mainly placed my orange and wonder animals - plus my 39 I Classic Beavers ((♥)). The lowest animal I placed out were my glowworms (base time of 15:00) and my longest animal was my orange raccoon. It was fun doing the math - but timing it out is not for the faint of heart lol! My initial harvest, which also included a field of reg pandas (and 3 orange pens), gave me 140 drops just from harvesting pens. I also have trees on the edges of my pens to harvest, and I didn't count the 3 drops from my magic trees. With a daily average needed of 185... 140 drops isn't bad. (I have full trophies and the living legend rune).

I agree with dnin21cent, the next 24 hours will show how good drops are on other things.

Comparing my drops to JJenks, I lost out on 20 drops, but gained 4 fields of manure... and since it is selling at about 100 CCs in my market... it is hopefully worth the sacrifice!


@Arielh ~ let us know how the comfort fields work for you! Don't forget that if you have the tree of wisdom rune and extra super-grow, that using super-grow can further drop your time from 12:48 to 5:05. (Without use of manure or buffs like white innocence, etc). Wishing you the best of luck to accomplish your farming goals while balancing your schedule!

 

Haha CJAT I bet Dr. Wilson will stay as long as it takes just to see Broke doing fancy moves in the meadow (I'd like to see that too haha)

I got 112 drops from 2 fields of cotton and 5 Howies. I will not worry about them....yet

 

With animals, trees round the borders on Glade and Meadow, Baha with mostly trees and about six animal pens, Main field with half Carnations and Crop Circles (or Squares, I forget) ... don't ask, my time calculation is rubbish ... this farm has got 133 Friendship Potions and Chevrefeuille got 129. So on target so far.
I am going to follow your advice, Suze, and will plant longer crops overnight to bump up the drops.

Looking good(ish) so far.

 

I don't know meba... I think broke might teach Dr. Wilson a thing or two about farming. I'm sure broke has a few dance moves, but Dr. Wilson strikes me as the strong and silent type. I think he would be more content to sit through a few lectures of "alternative farming techniques." (Otherwise known as: "How to make CCs so you don't have to farm crops.")

 

As got plenty of SG stock. I used total 100 SG for initial event planting.
using WI & FC, my yellow rose mature in 43 min. with CAC for 2x2 field.
this give me(10X9 =90X7=630) yellow rose for starting plant.
to suit my time zone, I will plant all 4 field of yellow rose,water them to get
mature at 3hr 12 min.harvest once.then switch to overnight plant to boost drops.
Next morning, start event plant: Growing, growing.. until bedtime switch night crop!

 

I will let you know how I will with comfort fields. I will first need to get over 300 seeds.

I got 138 drops from carnation and bell pepper.

 

I got 152 with all three field of carnation and hibiscus

 

Got 175 from ginger, spelt, barley and leeks as well as a few trees, so good start for me - that's with LL, trophies maxed out and 1 howie.

 

Event's drops seem fine, absolutely normal. Hence, I would definitely label this event as "fairly easy", that can be done in a relaxed way, even with just PJ.

So, whomever is considering CFs for the event's crop, they really are a good option this time: just watered, they can be harvested twice a day. If someone uses them, then they must be coupled with longer crops and trees to ensure the daily minimum event's drop average.

Blackberries, watered, match nicely with the first 10 seeds deployed on 2x2s with SG and water, no buffs -that's what I'm doing: I never use WI for nuking seeds; this time, I even saved those 10 manure units I typically use when nuking-.

(In fact, even with CFs, total requirement will be done pretty quickly, in a few days: you'll have at least a couple of days left for trusting longer crops and more trees for delivering the drops). (If you're short on rabbits, these can be safely raised during the event: from what I saw from my first harvest -just a few plots and trees and a few pens/workshops: I got 54 event's drops but I still have the longer crops to harvest-, it's a safe bet that doesn't seem it'll compromise too much your event's drops yields). (Instead, if you're too short on mirabelle plums and/or walnuts, market will be your only chance: see how to make enough CCs if what you already have doesn't cover it all).

Good luck to everyone: this can be easily completed.

 

hmmm.... is this a second farm? anyway, if not, this is the right place to learn. If it is... then you likely already know the tricks, lol. folks will help, of course, either way.

 

I Got 210 Friendship Potions so far. I am get couple of Friendship Potions growing so short time crops. So by look of things should not be getting problem on getting all the needed Friendship Potions for this Event

Since we can grow 11250 Yellow Roses in All Four Fields within 36 Hours of this Event using 1x1 and CAC. I will be aiming to do this asap. Then Start growing either wheat or Blackberries for Profits or Grow loads of Rabbits too to Make lots of CC but will slowly build stock of Friendship Potions this way.

Or either use Methods to get as many friendship Potions as Soon as Possible I will give this a Thing over as see how the drops do in next 36 Hours or so

 

No, I think farmer_broke has multiple farms... if I had to guess, it would be around 20+ of them!

 

I missed a few events due to vacation and vacation recovery. I'm going to give this one my best effort to complete. Thank you all for the math and strategies!! Good luck to all participating, and if you are sitting this one out and selling congratulations on your huge rewards!!

 

lol

Too bad I don't have room for a new neighbor... I could use a newbie. (not that I mind the older ones I have already, just saying.. more is always nice)


anyway, I bought rabbit pens to fill in my shortfall, since rabbits were so expensive. I now have over 100! (yeah, I know, I probably could use a few more...lol), I am off work today, so I am growing up my roses amidst doing various household stuff. Tommorrow, though, I will be out completely, so I need to push today. Thankfully, this is a longer event, so I should be able to manage.

 

Only a 100 rabbit pens??
Let's just say, that for all the regular animals, I have enough pens to make all three fields ready at the same time. I'd actually love to be able to get to the place where I could fill all three fields with Classic I or Classic II beavers... they are such great manure producers! There are so many different ways you could play with strategy for them too! Classic II beavers would be a decent overnight animal for drops with fresh manure the next morning to sell or spread on fields. Also the Classic I beavers would make a nice day-time animal for manure if one cannot be on and off the farm much to harvest. Of course, nothing beats out refined crops on 1x1s for drops ~ but for those not too worried about drops...

 

Logged in late because of my j-o-b did my CR then Park and Shipwreck Bay, harvested 2 fields of trees, 1 field of pens and one field of Hazelnuts and came away with 155 potions. Planted my Yellow Roses on Comfort Fields with a CAC, SG, SSG, WI and a ZAB. Now will set back and relax till this evening.

 

Sorry, I'm late to this party due to activities in the real world are very busy.
I got 203 Friendship Potions. I think it's not a problem with the drop rate with this event.

Good luck guys...!!
