Also having a full field of 8 hour crop seed plus any EP boosting pets or crafting products activated is highly recommended prior to activating the timer.
You must get 60,000 Exp from harvesting event seeds to completely complete this mission step.
You can use coupon pets and crafting products to raise Exp.
The Exp would join both your total farm experience and quest marker.
If you do not get the 60,000 Exp from event crops and the 24 hours is up, the step is completed and a partial share of the reward will be received. (see Mir's post below for more details)

{Note by CJ ~ This is all I have time to translate. This thread can be deleted, if desired, as soon as the real FAQ is available. ~Peace, CJ}

~ Edited above to add in more required crops (in blue) that I somehow missed when translating this morning. I also edited some of the steps to clarify them so they used the same terms as the real FAQ.

 

Thanks, CJ! Interesting the difference in translation between this and the strategy thread.

Now I know what I need to start building the 3 special production buildings. A little less worried.

 

The strategy thread was never meant to be a FAQ

Great job CJAT

 

^^ Truth. Thank you, CJAT!

 

Thanks CJAT!!! You're a lifesaver...even with reading the whole strategy thread...I was still unsure about things.

 

Thank you CJAT. It is a lot of work you did.

Great work! CJAT and -Mir85-!!!

 

I am psyched about that disguise workshop!!!

I was on a break for that event and so never had an opportunity for one....from what I remember reading on the old forum, that event was infamous for being drop-light and so I bet I'm not the only one looking forward to a chance at one!

 

I still have nightmares because of the missing drops.
With every event since that, I think, these left over drops could have made the difference with the raccoon event. (Kind of like, when you you notice every driver who is being to fast, after you got a ticket.

 

I am so glad my above post was able to help so many players!

However, I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I just realized something... the event crops I have listed above do not add up to be anywhere near the total amounts listed as being needed!

In looking over the first post, I realized that when I copied over the spanish translation, I lost part of the requirements when their table did not play well with my efforts to edit it into understandable english. Here is a screenshot of the requirements from the Spanish FAQ after being run through the translator which gives a rough idea of the requirements. (The spanish "dreamy" crops are the 4 hour sneezewort):

​

I will go and update the info on the first post next!

Also, when I logged on after work, I was fully expecting this thread to be deleted, but according to what Neon-Lights said below, it may be a while before the FAQ is fully up and running...

Also, I do hope teddy and the rest of our higher mods are okay...

Since I'm not sure when the official FAQ will be up and running (and because Mir put her awesome chart in this thread), perhaps we should keep it around for a bit longer?? (Besides I've always secretly wanted to put together a FAQ lol!)

 

Oh, thanks your CJAT, I just wonder I could not gather up the amount of event crop to
be 10000 & 15000 according to your step requirement. I look round, could not find it
on revised FAQ or strategy thread .
Thanks god the correct requirement list out rgiht now.

 

Glad to help dn! (Sorry still can't remember the nickname we gave you!) {{blush}}

I am pretty tired, so I am heading off to bed soon!

However, in closing, I will include an overview of some of the advice compiled from the strategy thread that I sent to my neighbors. (Some are busy in real life and others don't frequent the forum). There is just so much info in the current strategy thread that even though I understood it when I read it, I can still get confused going back and reading with all the numbers floating around.

So here goes, an overview (in my humble opinion anyway) of the most important parts for step one of the event. This is for all those farmers who simply freeze up or start to hyperventilate at the thought of reading through the 173+ posts of the current strategy thread...


~~~~
The new Comic event has just started! Be warned though, the first step is very tricky!! You need to get 60,000 EPs from harvesting EVENT crops in just 24 hours!

In order to get that many, those smarter than I (see on the forum game strategy discussion for the event: “Strategie Comic 6”) have calculated that it is impossible to gain this much experience without some form of EP-boosting crafting product (or use of the owl pets).

Arrouquelas calculated (post #51 and #54 in the thread above) the following scenario: All four fields completely in 1x1 plots, (772 total 1x1 plots minus 4 total plots for pets); having an 8 hour crop ready to harvest immediately after you activate the start of the Step one; harvesting 5 full fields of the watered 4 hour crops, and another 8 hour watered crop overnight – that you would still only have 49,400 EP of the 60,000 EP needed.

To complete this step of the quest, (if you do all 6 of the above harvests with no mistakes), you will still need an EP-boost of not quite 30% at each harvest!

There are a lot of different ways you can do this (examples below).

This could be any of the following:
* 3 owl pets (give 10% extra EP every 30 min for 10 min; 20 minute cool-down)
* Easter Marmalade (30% EP boost for 12 hours) – you will need 2
* Spring Wreaths (30% EP boost for 12 hours) – you will need 2
* Zucchini Apple Cake (60% EP boost on crops for 18 hours; 23:23 hours with PPP) – need 1 plus a PPP

Another good cheap combo:
* Rune on the Tree of wisdom that gives 10% EP bonus
* Carrot bread (20% ep for 4 hours) – you will need 6 with a PPP

Additionally,
* Sweet Rose Jam also boosts ep. (20% for 8 hours) - you will need 3, possibly 2 based on how you time it
* Rune on the Tree of wisdom that gives 10% EP bonus

*You could also use super-grow (reduces time) and/or Suzy spray.

Some farmers plan to Suzy spray and super-grow the first round of 8 hour crops in comfort fields, but you need at least 507 of the Glitter Poppies, 169 super-grow, and 169 suzy spray. (For more details see post 111 by Mooboy in ”Strategie Comic 6”)

If you don't gather the necessary EP in 24 hours you will get a reduced reward. However, careful planning will enable you to get the full reward of: a Raccoon Disguise Mask production pen, 10 party spins, 5 (3 hr) harvester coupons, and 5 mystery seedlings!

Blessings! ~CJ

PS Make sure you have enough seeds (772 if planting all 4 fields in 1x1s) of each event crop before you start!
~~~

So that's that! I think what we really need is a chart to break it all down into understandable options lol! (But I am not going to volunteer to do anything else at the moment... aside from turning off the lights and tucking myself into bed!)

 

Thanks to "zerodegrees" we got a step by step spreadsheet now. You can find it in the strategy threat of the event on page 9:
https://board-en.farmerama.com/index.php?threads/strategie-comic-6.11822/page-9#post-46401

And of course a big attaboy to CJAT having put so much work into translating the FAQ and even giving a summary of the strategy discussion.

 

May I add something regarding myself
For those don't want to clear yr 4 full field for plant.
IF you could eat artisan product, had a 20% pet, open the Rune on the Tree (+10%)
you could used 600 plot, you could still done it.
see strategy thread my post on page 4 #64, reply from Arrouquelas post #65 or Mir86 post#68
https://board-en.farmerama.com/index.php?threads/strategie-comic-6.11822/page-4
I strongly recommend to use min 450 or more plot for Mir 86's plan. Because,
the dragon pet only give 20%,

 

DN, thanks, you are quite right! I have the unicorn pet too which I always activate together with the dragon, so I mistakenly counted that bonus too Will put a note in my post

 

You should add this to the FAQ

If you have the 24 hour quest active, check to make sure it's showing
up before harvesting.

BigPoint are fools and messed up the event that
it doesn't show up every time and makes you loose EP that should have counted.

 

CJAT, I just wanted to let you know how invaluable your work in putting out something that resembled an actual FAQ for this community has been, par none. I, for one, appreciate the hard work this must have taken and in the middle of all your studies. Take a bow for all you have helped this community, or at least me.

B

 

Big thanks from me for this one CJAT - allowed me to plan ahead of a busy weekend.

 

A big thank you from me too CJAT - an amazing lot of effort to help your fellow players.
I too hope the Mod cave is still functioning well as this FAQ glitch is quite worrisome.
Good luck to everyone with this event.
