Crystal Falls Timed Quest

If we donate by separate harvests and the time runs out before we get the required amount....What happens to the donated crops??
Do we get to try again with the same crops if they go back to Inventory??
Same questions for the animals, too, please!

 

Hello Lily_pink

If you do not finish a timed FSQ quest within the allotted time, the donated crops or animals will return to your barn.

From the FAQ:
Timed Quests - marked with the timer icon:



These quests require fresh products. For example, crops harvested within the specified time. You cannot donate items from your Barn or that you have purchased from the Market, the only items valid for these quests are the ones freshly harvested (they will go straight into the quest at harvest, you will not see them in your Barn).

You must finish the contract within the allotted time. Each timed contract has its own time requirement (in hours):



Tip: Before starting the Quest, you can have a part (roughly half) of the requested items "ready" on your farm. Just before harvesting, you go to the Farmer's Society, start the quest, then go back to your farm, and harvest your products. This saves you the first part of growing time. Time shortening buffs will work for the harvests required here (as long as you start the buff before seeding/feeding your crops/animals), as well as harvest bonus products.

Note: If you do not finish the quest in time or you cancel it, the already donated resources will be returned to your Barn (you will not lose partially donated resources for the timed quests). You can cancel a timed quest by pressing the red "Cancel" button, and accept the confirmation layer.

Please note that you can only start 1 timed quest at a time!

May I assist you further?

 

Yes - at what level does one have to be to open these last fields?? I am level 90 and am a few steps (using lots of bananas) from opening at least one (Plumeria) of the requested items, so it made me curious... I think it mentioned level 60, but there have been numerous additions to the 'golden banana consumption tree' since that level would be appropriate, imho. Are there more than the usual reasons why it is so difficult to open these last 3 fields?

Thank you - NFQ after the answer to these questions.

 

Hello Lily_pink

Baha no longer has certain levels that you acquire trees or stables like the mainland (i.e. Level 77 on main you get Maple trees). The Crystal Falls quest states the required level is Level 14. This is because you must be Level 14 to access the Magical Glade and Tree of Wisdom where you open Bahamarama.

Because you are allowed to open new chambers without having to open everything in a chamber, you can open things in a different order. You are not limited to a certain level, only how many Golden Bananas you have.

As far as the difficulty...new areas always present new challenges. Reflect on the tasks you needed to complete to open Shipwreck Bay and opening all the zones on the Baha plantation field.

You state you have no more questions but I will wait to close this thread in case you have any more follow up questions

May I assist you further?

 

I just tried what you said, to open the last tree in the last chamber...and they still do have to be opened in a certain order - all four trees, requiring 180 GB's just to get the Plumaria to open a Crystal Falls area. Add another 80 GB's which I spent to open a field = 260 GB's.
Pretty expensive Real Estate. Sorry, but it feels more like work than 'fun'. Or maybe I'm just tired...

I appreciate your detailed answer, FA, and thank you for it. NFQ. You may close.

 

Hi Lily_pink

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. You do have to open items within a chamber in order but you don't have to open everything within a chamber before opening the next chamber. So, yes, if the tree you want is in the last position of the chamber, you must open the trees before it to unlock it.

I hope the joy of farming returns

No further questions.
Closing as requested.
