Edelweiss Valley - Game Feature- Strategy Thread.

No, Illy, you don't need to. As you have mentioned, Garden Spades are hard to get..... I planted 12 Lady's Slippers in all but only one or two at a time. Towards the end, I did lose track of the total number though and was pretty sure that I've completed the task. But actually I needed to plant a couple more. So, I kept producing and planting LSs and (checking Village Square as well) finally it was all done and dusted.

 

Illy, I have never had to plant all the seeds at one time. There is an internal counter that keeps track. But the rare Garden Spades are only found from the longer growing plants. They do get easier to find once you get higher and are looking for the rakes. Those too are like hens' teeth for me. Good luck!

 

I get them from all plants, even from Alpenrose, but it is better chance to get them from longer plants. Garden Spades are the rarest drop, rakes are much easier. Cottongrass seeds require Garden Spades also.

 

Thank you all for your responses, just have to keep collecting those garden spades!

Okay, looking through this thread, I seemed to have missed a couple of points.

I am at level 25 and don't now where or how to open this part (Sunflower Hill?).

How do I get the CR or is this on the main farm?




Edit: WOW! I should read these things in a little more detail! I just fell across Sunflower Hill by accident! More space for mainland critters and trees. Fantastic!

Now, if I could just find the CR, I will be delirious!

Another edit: Can I put Manufactories, Menageries, Jumbo Trees and Animals on Sunflower Hill?

 

Yes, we can place everything except the Illy fields, and as we progress towards the Alpine levels, parts of the sunflower hill open up and there's more space, which is nice. I'm currently at level 43 in the Alps and have two more fields to unlock.

 

Thanks, ç.çiftçi, I'm getting very excited about how to fill the space already and there is so much more to look forward to. I am absolutely loving it and so glad that I made a vague attempt to do EV - it is paying off!

 

This farm is inching slowly and steadily towards level 22. The reasons I bothered to open EV on this farm are: #1) the giver at level 5, #2) & #3) the CRs at levels 10 and 15 and #4) Sunflower Hill at Level 25 (plus expansions at higher levels).

 

Each player should open Edelweiss Valley once the can just because of the giver at level 5 and the two cloud rows on level 10 & 15. They affect all of the tree fruits made in the game. This is a big game changer because players can free space of by lowering their amount of trees out in the fields and still have the same output of tree fruits. Sunflower Hill is also great to put out menageries and arboretums to keep things going while harvesting normal/event crops on the two main fields!

 

I agree with everything Nordais said, I think I leveled up quickly thanks to the abundance of fruit and the extra benefits of cloud ranks.

 

Just to clarify, we get the CRs automatically or do we have to unlock them/buy them?
I am at level 25 and don't remember any CRs being won ...

 

After reading through all the conversations here, I changed my mind about EV and am saving my stars to open it. Thanks for all the trailblazing done - it will be a huge help once I begin.

 

You will get them automatically. I think you have to look in your incomplete rows to find them

 

How do I get Alp-EP (Aep)?

• by performing specific actions (recycling)
  
• Aep is obtained by solving Customer Requests

 

Thank you enk52 and everybody else who has helped me with all my nerdy questions!

MeadowCrossing: If you can take all this info in, fine but I started off very slowly, checked here if I had any problems but gradually built up and set myself little goals. I am very happy with my progress.

 

Thanks, Illy, I am also very cautious and nowadays, I make a turtle look speedy! I'm only halfway to needed stars and will read and reread these posts many times before doing anything...and I'm also likely to post myriad questions as I creep along
