Really?

So why don't I just ignore it ... sorely tempted. But I know I can't resist. I am my own worst enemy.

 

I will skip this event, I can't have an event in 5 lands! It is just so scary haha. And the requirements are so many!
Good luck to everyone! I will be providing products in the market to those who need them
So please don't send drops to my farm, I created the SOS thread, send to those who want them

 

would have been nice to have this list yesterday when the tools were going on can someone post what stables go with what product if any one has list?

I am not sure about ladders and cardboard boxes

 

ladders are frogs and cardboard boxes are cats I MIGHT give this a try and see how far I can get I would really love the CR since I don't have some of those boxes

 

thank you was confussed on ladders

 

are they having a laugh, another barn emptier. 25,000 crops required. im definately out for now. when are BP going to listen.

Good luck to those who have a different view and have all products and will be attemping event

plus they are having wonder trees at the same time, where is the land for all of this. unless you wait till event finished to plant trees. time for me to stock up

 

I've just bought some products before the prices go sky rocket! Quantity of plants and drops very reasonable once we have 5 lands available I'm a little bit worried about the mill time! But let's go for it!! Good luck everyone!

 

Thank you Arielh for all your good works. I will give this one a try, since the products are in the barn.
Don't understand their Rated Medium unless BP has decided to cater to the Rich and Famous...
Good Luck to all, selling or emptying the barn!!!

 

Ariel: I was in a state of shock and forgot my manners!

Thank you for the figures (I had done the first part but didn't scroll down to the second part - thought it was a bit too easy lol!) and also for the SOS thread.

Good luck all. I have done a bit of selling and will give the event a go but it doesn't really give me the buzz I used to get when anticipating an event. I am just letting FOCD take over ...

 

Thanks Arielh, for the numbers! I think I will be doing the "Surface" part only, so I will need less of the crops and drops! I will not be going onto the "Under ground" part as I don't have the records, ladders or boxes it takes to do that part! But good Luck to all doing part of or all of this event!

 

Arielh, I count 15 headlamps. Where are you getting the other 15 from?

Edit: Surface needs 5 headlamps for steps #17, #23, #29. I don;t see any needed for underground.

 

U right julie we need only 15 headlamps for gaining access to underground maze...

 

Well I am all in on this event.... not sure how far i will get but got all i need as i bought the records as i cant make them ethier... rest i am making now with what i need... I like the idea of collecting them chests every so many hours.... but thing is getting to the ones we want first...lol There is 2 i rather always get anyway and that is the tree and powerfeed chests. The CR looks ok.... gives ones like me the other crates at times.... but being my luck, it would only give me the crates i already have on CR...lol

I don't like the mill time.... but its better to have 1 item for 2 hours then 20 items for 2 hours.... so it is less math or figuring.. Good luck to everyone who is going for this or/and making coins at the market. I got some i can sell not much though...

 

25,750 event crops to grow. BP … you got to be kidding us … shame on you!!!!!

Hasn’t anyone noticed the days on the events now have been cut down to 5 days? I have.

Not so sure how to meet crop growing demands with the NEWLY introduced 5 days to grow crops.
The days to complete have now been dropped down to 5 full days, NOT the 6 we use to have.
The challenge has become a lot more difficult especially when real life and other situations surely must take precedent. Previously, we had a day to meet crops needed to fill our fields and 5 days to complete event crop requirements. Now we’ve lost a full day in growing event crops.

Demands for crops & drops have increased in numbers but we have lost 24 full hours(a whole day) to complete.
Where, what, when, or how is there any reasoning to this madness.

I've got to do some hard thinking on this one. I may do as much as I can and not worry about whether I finish. This game has become too stressful and not as much fun.

To those who are eager, GO FOR IT, I commend you and WISH YOU GOOD LUCK!!!!!

 

This looks more like a 'hard' than a 'medium' event, especially with all those products! Fine if you have them all in stock, not so fine if you don't. Luckily I had all but fire hydrants and ladders in stock. I've bought the hydrants since they were reasonably priced which leaves me with just 20 ladders to grow.

Since the chests can be re-opened periodically, I'm going for the crate o'trees one first and then the power feed one....if I can work out where it is! The list of rewards for crates in the FAQ does not currently match up with the positions of the crates.

 

I'm definitely in. More crops to grow but on 5 lands. Only one kind of crop to grow, no fiddling with different crop times. A good cloud row. On the face of it I love it.

Thank you Arielh for the info

 

Thank you for the numbers Arielh...Geeez Arielh! I looked at this earlier and thought it was okayish amounts then I realized you actually read the whole thing ! my quick glance didn't absorb anything. Those amounts of products and the sheer numbers aren't gonna be cheap. Rather than battle to make all of those ladders and the like I'm loathe to take out my pens. think I'm gonna pass on this but I'll be sending out drops to my neighbors. Good luck everyone.

 

I am going to pass on this one, I just set up my farm again so will not tear it down so soon. I don't have half of the stuff I need so will sell some. I will send drops to my neighbors but to the neighbors that send me drops you can send them to someone else. I know FOCD will set in but I have to keep it in check! Good Luck to you all
