Drip tank

Any ideas on getting more drip tanks? I've finished Fit to the Max with just 5 drip tanks. You need 10 to create a bio-glue lab. With completion of the event you have an upgrade to Bio-glue lab II orange but without a basic bio-glue lab it is of no use.

 

If you haven't done so already you could look to complete steps of the Farmers' Society Quests which offer toolboxes.
Step 7 of the perminent breeding quests is particularly useful - they give XXL toolboxes and the Tree of Wisdom runes offer breeding animals which can be donated directly to those steps.

Otherwise wait a few days for the inevitable toolbox sale to start, and spend real money.

Otherwise....wait.

 

there is no way to specifically target bio-glu (some buffs will boost your chance for craft products, but as far as I know, not general products, and a few quests do offer specific products as returns, but not bio-glu), however, anything you do to get more tools generally will increase your chance of getting bio-glu.

As mentioned, complete farmer quest tasks to get toolboxes (most of the quests offer them at some level... just look to see what is most doable for you), the best way to maximize drops is to upgrade/move your trophies around. If have your trophies on your tree of wisdom (which means they impact all fields, not just the one they are on), then of course you don't have to move them. Else, move them BEFORE harvesting... let them sit a few seconds, refresh your screen or go to another field and come back to make sure they are active, then harvest and repeat.

As always, use the longest-running crops or pens/workshops to yield the best return of tools. (shortening buffs and supergrow don't decrease your chances, just shorten your wait a little, but CAC and pumpkin jam don't increase your chances, either).

Some people swear by turning their fields to 1 X 1 as a way of increasing tool drops, but no one really knows if that helps or not. (the main benefit is it maximizes use of pumpkin jam or CAC).

 

Patience is the only strategy I have! I had 3 fields of 1x1 with barley, rye and begonias in and didn't get a single one. Yet I got one from a field of potatoes. At the moment they are very rare but eventually they will start dropping and you will have more than you can deal with - just like scrap mettle.

 

Well, my fields filled with on-level animal stables and trees gave me no drip tanks since the event started. The XXL toolbox we got as a reward for one of the event steps gave me 2 drip tanks. I think I'll simply keep on working on upgrading both my animal trophy and my farmer trophy and grow the longest crops possible once I'm done with the event. I get a fair amount of "normal" tool drops with the stables, trees and long-timed crops, including Scrap metal. The elusive Queen Bee, however, I got from another quest with a XL Toolbox. And with the XXL Toolbox from this event I got my second Queen Bee.......

I guess it's pretty random, since I've heard from people that these kind of rare items DO drop from fields Just hang in there and work on your trophies! Oh, I always use 1 x 1 plots. Although it's a PITA planting and harvesting wise (I don't have the helper), it does give me a fair amount of tools more. Or at least that's the impression I get. And trees and Animal stables work quite well. In my experience better then 2 x 2 crops. A full field of Chicken stables gives me more drops than a full field of 2 x 2 plots with similar timed / EP crops.

Good luck!

 

I just got several drip tanks from toolboxes when I filled some quests. However, I also got no drip tanks in a couple others today. It IS random, but its possible.. I finally got 10, but also have both statues on my tree of wisdom and upgraded several levels, plus I had long-growing crops and workshops/pens. (in particular, I had/have all my cameleons going) and, as I said, I earned several X large or bigger toolboxes (thanks to breeding quests).



EDIT: I remember reading about refinements somewhere in this forum... apparently there are a couple that increase drop rates, You might look up that info.

 

Thanks everyone for their suggestions. I finally went back and looked at all quests with toolboxes as their rewards and filled them until I got enough to build my bio glue lab.

 

Oh, and what I forgot to mention: It's my impression the Glade is really helpfull with Tool dropping too. I seem to get more drops from the glade than from any of the other fields, with Baha being the all time lowest on Tool drops. What are other's experiences on this?

 

Baha doesn't give any tool drops. I did however get 1 drip tank from a field of corn and another from a low level crop so....hit and miss

 

Congrats tpa on the drip tanks. Random can be frustrating, but predictable is... boring.

 

So far, I got one from something in my park. (Didn't expect to get any so wasn't looking at specifically what but it might have been my Carousel Music Box.) All the rest have come from XXL toolboxes. None from smaller toolboxes.

 

Do you have a Hen House? I think that is the only thing that gives tools in the park

 

Yes, I do have a Hen House but it usually only gives basic tools (nails, wood boards, etc.). That would be great if it came from there.

 

I have gotten scrap metals from my hen house Of course it doesn't happen often, since it is a rare tool, but it is possible

 

That is good to know Mir...I have not. I have only gotten basic tools too.

Still nothing from harvesting on either farm. My drip tank total is 5 from the event prize so it looks like it is going to be a long while before I can make a bio glue shop.

 

My Hen House did give me a Drip Tank this morning , so it is possible .
Finished the event and got 1 Drip Tank , so have 2 atm .

 

I have 6 drip tanks so far, I guess I was not lucky, from the event quest, 1XL box gave me 2 drip tanks, then the last stage of the quest 2 XXL boxes and I got none, the other 4 tanks I got from harvesting and from trees, and I agree about the hen house, I have 2, one in the park and the other on the meadows, and thinking to have another 1, I have heaps of tools but observing how much time to get another 4 to build my bioglue workshop, then I will decide wither to buy it or not.

 

I have managed to get just one (as far as I could see) drip tank from drops on Illy's farm (the Glade I think), none on this farm.

I have, however, got two Bio-Glue Labs on both farms now due to trading in valuable breeding animals to get toolboxes - even then some of them were really lacking in drip tanks!

I refuse to sell these valuable Bio-Glues for 1700cc! So I am saving them up for the quests or until the prices improve on the market. When you look at the prices of Cooking Pots and Chopsticks after all this time, why is the price of these rare products still so low.

 

I just got 2 drip tanks from an XL toolbox! I completed the quest step for the BEP and leveled up to 125 there. Double the reward!

 

I got 1 drip tank from a field of corn!
