Cookie Wonderland Strategy

it's 4.36am here i;m up to try and get another crop in, once this one is done to try and gain a couple hours to try and get enough drops in .... I'm almost level 60 ..... i don't know how much more i hope i hold out on this one but giving it my best have gotten to level two .... have 32 pastry bags in the barn ,,,, i really really really want ..... NEED that hamster lol .

 

Done

 

Congrats TCR...

I am still behind you.. 22 pastry bags to go...
Planted oats, sorghums and cinnamons along 2 days for earning few CCs.. lol

 

I'm up to 58 pastry bags in the barn ..... made a huge mistake thought i had planted all my grounds last night before bed .... but silly me forgot one *cries* so now i'll push hard, MAYBE i can make it *crosses fingers* I NEED NEED NEED that hamster!

 

For those who are high enough level to plant snow drops, I just harvested my magical glade with all 1x1 plots, except 2 spaces for my pigeon and owl pets, and got 12 event drops. Not too bad for a shorter high level crop, I don't think . I'm waiting on cauliflower and winter jasmine to finish now, experimenting to see what kind of drops I get, since I'm confident I'll finish today. Best drops so far have been with carnations, raspberries, barley and leeks. Will try lady's bedstraw next to see what it gives me.

frogs, I feel your pain. I missed an overnight planting because my computer locked up, and I didn't have time to restart and plant . Will send you drops from here and my alt.

 

ANY help would be great *holds out beggars cup* I'm not to proud to ask for help ..... like i said i NEED that hamster! lol

 

Well the twit award goes to me - donating my crops, left enough to do a field, sneezed, knocked the computer and donated all bar 10 seeds. Marvellous!

 

Oh no! *passes tissue*

 

Thanks, TCR. When I decided to not buy any cloud rows I stopped reading the related posts for sales to save time.

I finished on all three farms. Finally found some time to get to the market today. Once again missed out on opportunity to make some coins. Even forgot to sell manure. New row is populated and active.

I wish the cloud rows were better labeled. Some of the art work at the beginning of the row is too small for me to see what it is. When one hovers over the icon it only displays the time remaining til recharge.

 

I managed to get 35 drops or better from a field of Oyster Mushrooms and Hazelnuts from an overnight crop if this could be of help to those struggling. At the same time my field I have with Trees gave me 20 or so drops overnight. My LL rune is at 26% and that helps a lot.

 

After my overnight harvest I have 388 drops. I'm hoping for that to be around 420-440 by the end of the day (although I doubt it will end up that high). I'm milling another batch of flour so by the end of the day should have 1316. I'm trying to grow the rest of the crops needed for the last 684 today so that I can put it on to mill overnight, but I doubt I'll get everything needed. As for eggs, I've finally got my egg tree on to the right schedule to give me 8 a day if I harvest at the right time. It will be a rush to the finish line though. Might not make it due to the egg situation. I may have to cash out a little (which I didn't want to do).

 

I'm guessing most of you have a maxed crop trophy and a high animal trophy, right? Man, I really need to work on those in the new year. I think I won't have enough time to do that between this event and the next, especially with Christmas, family and New years coming up......

For now I'm gonna plant Anise on all my fields (it's my longest crop at level 47) and hope I'll have more Pastry bags tomorrow. Still need about 340 bags to complete all the levels....... I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but with a Silver Farming award (6%) and a bronze country copper award (9%) I'm in doubt I'll make it......

Oh well, here's to hoping

Good luck to everyone who's working hard on completing this event and congratulations to those who have finished it all!

 

I would suggest working on the crop trophy portion first and try to Max that one out at 15%... It's a long way to go but it will make a difference in the drops you receive. In another forum by Aluntino it was once noted that the "sweet spot" was in the area of 23-26% to pick up the most of your needed drops.
Do not give up... Remember, Obstacles are what you see... Once you take your eyes from the goal.

 

I just completed event now on to normal farming building up stuff i'm low on.

 

20 Pastry bags and I will be finished.

 

Just complete the event just a moment ago.. I'm still going to produce oats, sorghums and cinnamons for sale.

 

Now have all event crops and enough crops to mill the rest of the flour so I'm only waiting on the rest of the drops (need 197). Should be achievable. I'm growing some of my crops that are low in stock on 1x1s to get more drops with the rest of the CAC working killing two birds with one stone!

 

I think my drops have been a bit better today. I'm still trying to grow all the anise I need, and am on my last CAC today. I may spring for one tomorrow to finish. I will say drops in my 2x2 field have been MUCH higher than in my 1x1s. Earlier today from 180 1x1s I got 12 drops, and from 50 2x2s I got 17. When it comes to drops there really seems to be no logic.

 

@shodack78 and all fellow farmer who has drop items issue.

There are few suggestions to tackle the event drop items (pastry bags):

• Plant the longest time crops on 1x1's + Crop Trophy + Animal Trophy

This strategy is most often used by many people and is very effective. Usually water and manure is also used to reduce the growth time. Can also use Super-grow if you have plenty and accompanied by activing cloud row and using some buffs that increases the effectiveness of Super-grow.​

• Trees and Suzy's Turbo-mulch + Crop Trophy + Animal Trophy

This strategy is also frequently used by many people and is very effective. Usually XXL upgraded and XL upgraded also used to reduce the growth time. Can use the Suzy's Turbo-mulch if you have plenty.
I have testimony that harvest the 20 hours fruit trees would yield 18-28 event drop items on a field fully of trees (202 plots) without any trophies are placed. The 12 hours fruit tree, such as apple tree, would yield 12-19 event drop items.​

• Plant crops on Comfort Field + Crop Trophy + Animal Trophy

This strategy is also frequently used by many people and is very effective. Usually water and manure is also used to reduce the growth time. Can also use Super-grow if you have plenty and it will be better activing cloud row and using some buffs that increases the effectiveness of Super-grow. In general, planting roses.​

• Animal pens and animal workshops + Crop Trophy + Animal Trophy

This strategy is also frequently used by many people and is effective. Usually only water used and can use powerfeed if you have plenty to reduce the breed time. It will be better to active cloud row and use some buffs that reduces breed time and reduces product time.​

• Plant any crops on 2x2's + Crops Trophy + Animal Trophy

This strategy is also frequently used by many people and is very effective. Usually water and manure is also used to reduce the growth time. Can also use Super-grow if you have plenty and it will be better activing cloud row and using some buffs that increases the effectiveness of Super-grow.​

• Combinations + Animal Trophy + Crops Trophy

This strategy is rarely used but very effective, because you need to pay attention everytime. Crops, trees, workshops and pens are on same field.
​

Both trophies (or LL rune) ONLY increase the chances of getting event drop items and tools from both crops, workshops, pens and trees. The most important thing is your farm is always busy and never idle. Do not forget to move them around before you harvest!


How could you think to get a lot of drop items that only logged in once a day? Not included planting longest crops on Comfort Field.

 

I wish good look to all players to finish as much possible from this event.
I changed the strategy and now I get 12-13 drops from one field. But I will change to 2x2. Seems more drops. Thank you shodack78 for let us know about that.
I need 70 more drops to finish level 2. I have confident that I will finish level 3 too. I still hope for level 4
