Chestnut Festival Strategy

I am soo sad! The FOCD won. Boo-hoo and Good-Bye to all my cuddly breeders.

 

Just updating my stats.

I reached part 6 and now need to catch up with event crops and drops.
Only need one Harvest to be done with the special crops. But won't
get all the drops till tomorrow. (Not asking for help)

 

Hi solo! It's a shame you are not going for the top 1000... of all the farmers, you could probably do it the most easily due to your massive amounts of CCs. I've considered it, and might have a small possibility of being able to pull it off using what island tree fruit and maple sap I have on hand, but I rather doubt it. Instead I will plug at least a few lettuce in and take a screenshot for the novelty of being on the list for a short little time lol!

@Aluntino ~ I am also one, like Mir, who simply loves the details! Please, please keep telling us how to "build clocks" (aka be smart with our farm money)! I may not have time to actually put it into practice (unless you want to post a spreadsheet and do all the math for me lol!) ~ but reading about how to be smart, makes me feel a bit smarter, even if I am unable to put it into practice!


I happen to have a good variety of breeding animals (thanks to the lovely Farmwheel)! Since I don't have time to track breeding animals on the market and be smart my money, (like all your lovely advice in broke's thread), I decided to lean a bit on the Farmwheel for my breeding animal help.

Quite a while ago (before the forum switch), I made a Google spreadsheet (igm me if you want the website link) of the breeding animals winnable on the wheel. I aim to spin only when there "blue" breeding animals (levels 3 and 4 below). Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't... ;D But I finished the first round of breeding animals easily and I think I will be okay for the second... {{crosses fingers}}

​

Miss you escalonilla! It was great seeing you! I hope you are able to come visit and hang out with us a bit more often! {{hugs}}​

 

Checking in...

 

Completed step 4. Time to assess the cost of step 5.

 

Well, I looked at my barn and thought so decided to help you kind farmers out and have made some cc's. Now farming chickens, poop and lettuce (?) since all three seem to be selling well on my market. So thankyou to all you generous farmers and good luck!

 

Czech, Bhodho.

 

Undecided how to proceed. Barn is running on 'E'...

 

What did you decide?

 

You know one can use Illy's SOS thread can be used to ask for buffs like CAC or Valentine's Pot (as in clay pot...) for anyone needing help growing crops or critters.

Bhodo, depends on the event level you're pursuing... But you're a smart guy!

PnP, be careful not to overexcite the gray matter. The smoke can be killer!

People having big trouble with this event might just spend the rest of it making money off the players that are buying to finish a level. And preparing for December quests which tend to be the second hardest in terms of donations required. Esp with tools.

 

I am not pursuing top 1000. I do have enough stock for the event but it will hit my breeding animals hard. Though I do buy PF, it is usually enough for the breeding events that we are having each month. I have very few 'leftovers' and have not been able to sustain additional breeding. I do have enough to donate that is not associated with the Soup quest.

Ah dear Suzee - thank you for thinking I have some gray matter. I thought it was all gone!

I still wish everyone good luck with whatever their own personal goals may be.

 

I just completed step 4 and that will be it for me. I am glad that I did the step as I received 1 zen rake and 3 scrap metal as part of my toolbox!

For my neighbors, send tools, not chestnuts.

 

With the new cloud row you can grow roses in no time at all, quite literally

White innocence, fruit cake and the super grow refinements for roses, makes super grow reduce the time with 98%. Also using water and manure you could grow roses in 8 minutes, or 32 minutes on comfort fields.

Adding the new cloud row, the effect of super grow is more than 100% on roses, so they mature immediately, whether on normal fields or comfort fields

 

Mir! That's insane! That will be so good if we have another "Drop" crisis.

Uh... sorry perhaps I confused gray matter with gray hair...
I almost have enough hair now to call it a pixie cut. It's a lot grayer than it used to be.
*singing* "The old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be. Ain't what she used to be..."

 

Sweet Mother of Jesus and His Holy Mother! They are not joking this year are they!!

Been working and been AFK for the past couple of days but have almost all the drops and crops... but it is going to take a long, hard, and wise think if I'm doing Lvl7 or not. If I do Lvl 7 then I might as well go for the Top 1000. I have millions-upon millions tied up in stock but I'm too emotionally attached to my breeding critters so it's the last Lvl of the quest that gives me grief.
To donate or not

 

All I need is 24 drops and I'm done with the event.

@hatzeva, Nope, they sure aren't joking and I hope WE don't need to do this again for the Christmas one.
It's already confirmed we'll have special crops to grow

 

Hi I have completed This Event .....Now I just Looked into Top 1000 so far 650 have entered it so Just 4 Days left of these Event....Will Focus on lots of Selling of Animals,Breeding Animals and Crops that I can Restock.....I Probably Make up my Mind in the Final Day...Same as last Year I did Pull out at last Minutes when Minimum Donations at 500 was 175 Million Worth, Broke and Aluntino say it will be at least 100 Million Exchange Value.

 

My gift box is full and all event crops would have been grown and drops received long before gift reset.

All drops are being submitted as received. All unneeded event crops are being donated as available.

Completed a waiting quest for Farm Equipment reward just before harvesting advanced prepared fields for drops.
Planted roses in 1x1's, waiting for production pens and Panda pens to complete on Baha.
Used wheel won stock of super grow on event crops with water and cheap manure and super suzy until enough event crops for all.
Harvested and planted regularly with only water and manure until manure reached 30 ccs and stopped its use.
Donated all items as received up to level 6. Cheap breeding animals purchased well in advance for under 600 each were used.
Level 7 crops and drops are being donated as gifts were received and harvest yield them.

Not a single cheap breeding animal for Level 7 will be donated until the 1000th player enters.
Then my admission price to gain admission to what I will label The Playground will have been paid.

Then let the games begin: I will then play a game called Tick Tag with the 1000th player for a while.

My rules will be explain in the next update.

I need options, regardless of how one determines it or the reasons why. The question is:

Which 5 tree fruit do you judge will have the greatest price movement upward in the next 3 months?

@Mooboy

I truly believe you have the barn stock to play, and compete well.

If you decide to play then I will play a game with you. My objective is to come in behind you.
One exception: I will not risk being kick out when the final donations are made due to lack of points.

We can even play Cat-and-Mouse. I'll wait for you to decided, at or as close to level 1000 as possible.

I say the 1000th finisher will need a minimum of 130 million. My reason: Too expensive to complete all to level 7 only to be played.

 

Hi Broke .....Yes I do Have very Healthy Barn Stock plus 122 Million CC Buying Power, just Brought 2 Million CC worth of Fruits which is worth about 7 Million in Exchange Values...will keep look out for Big Bulks of Fruits at good Prices Snap them up....In The Meantime selling lots of Animals at inflated prices....Make the Most of It while it still last

I have unlocked the Cloud Row, Plus i have All the Needy Refinements on Roses combined with Fruit Cake, White Innocents ....

• White Innocents 10% on Super Grow
• Fruit Cake 5% on Super Grow
• Chestnut Festival Cloud Row 5% on Super Grow
• Growth Boost Rune 10% on Super Grow
• Growth Boost 5% on Manure
• SG Love Refinement 20% Super Grow
• Duo Fertilizer Love 9% on Super Grow
• Duo Fertilizer Love 20% on Manure
• Early Bloomer 7.5% Reduce time on Roses
• Water Love 6% Reduce time on Water
• Manure 5% Reduce time on Roses
• Water Reduce time on Roses

As Mir Pointed out that this Concept Method, Will Certainly Help you Boost your Drop Rates....since is not going to take long to Grow these Crops whether you using normal fields or Comfort Fields...it also helps to leave any Howie Donuts in that Field of Roses

There are two refinements in Roses that Boost your Drop Rates on Hammers and Feather Collector by 750%

I have a better Idea we can be in Top 1000 side by side, so that we can keep overtaking each other but remain within top 1000 LOL

Quiet a Few Big Players for Last Year have gone AWOL, or may have drained their Barn Stocks too much may not have recovered as i know some who tried the Top 500 in last two Festivals are still limping with the pain of almost depleting it once healthy barn

Also Quiet a Few have take Drastic austerity Measures to significant Reduce RL Spending on this Game or Even stop spending on the game completely. Also there was quiet a few Bots Farmers who cheated the Game. These have now been filtered out of the system.

I know Many Farmers who are in Top 1000 now may have underestimated the commitment to try stay in within Top 1000, quiet a few of them did not even started this game since last Festival Event. This is my Forth Festival

 

Oh, the Bug or should call "instant rose finished" advantage had been notice
by BP..
Just see the tech announcement .
https://board-en.farmerama.com/index.php?threads/current-issues.12266/#post-50013
