Fabulous Flowers.

Think it would be nice if people shared what combination we can earn star coins, a bit tricky to find them all by myself.... I've added those I've found so far in my table wrapped in spoiler tag

Edit: Brook - anything will do. Trees, stable, crop of any sort. Breeding...

 

Brooke, you can grow anything.

Moraine, thank you very much - didn't even think to keep track, thought it was random. NOTE: on yellow, pink, white, blue I received 30 + 20 star coins

 

​

Too bad it doesn't work that way Moraine.. from the FAQ:

Note: The flower arrangement combination rewards are random and 2 accounts may receive different rewards when using the same arrangement combo. When using a flower arrangement combination for the 2nd time, you will receive the same base reward as won previously.

Good luck to all of us with gathering drops.

*hug*

 

Dang, why ??? Oh I know why, but WHY.

Bummer, oh well. I'll just find them the hard way

 

Just a little info that may help?,I just got 13 Paper Bag Drops from just 31(1x1)spots of Rose Hips that's nearly half the amount of Drops for Crops and a pay off better than other longer growing higher EP Crops I've Harvested,Plus it's more Event like meaning spending BB's for SG as to not have such a long wait,Just thought I'd share that.

 

Thanks mindy and Moraine! That helps, since I have my vegetable CR's activated today.
Have been doing the unthinkable....and have been breeding outside a BBD. I'm getting lots of paper bags....and a few seed packets.

 

I got 51 bags from my Jute. Not good. I'll just ride this out and see how bad it gets, and not set my heart on a CR.
Didn't you say we needed an average of 1500 a day? if thats the quota then I've failed already

 

I would try different methods, at I am doing stables, to build up manure. Keep an eye on your harvests, refrain from any Idle times, I would not waste Power Feeds on Breeding.

As it would be more cost effective to use Super Grow, On Instant Nuking on Refinement Crops. This will be set up on the last day,Pending how well we receive our needy drops. I did post a Strategy here on this forum few years back on how to Maximised on Drops as for those who have Howie Donuts sitting in our Barn Gathering Dust. Let due some spring cleaning put them into effective use plus Cloud Rows Drop Boosters too

 

Growing turnips and I was only able to get 3 seed packs made up...There's no way to finish with that low number of drops. I'm trying roses now. We need 60 games! Wow! I think they want you to have to spend money to get cloud rows.

 

Well I am trying to rebuild stock so don't see why I wouldn't try a few rounds even if I don't finish event. From low numbers I am currently receiving don't see how I can anyway. Good luck to all!!

 

I had turnips in as well on this farm - and also got enough drops for 3 seed packs. The other farm had in hydrangeas or some such flower (takes over 22 hours) and I got enough for 10 seed packs on that one. The trick is really long crops...and having every available extra drop giver working in your favor at the same time. In other words...this farm is not gonna get that cloud row...

 

From my initial harvest of wild roses yesterday I was able to make 5 seed packets on each farm. This morning I harvested my wild roses and was able to mill 4-5 seed packets. We're at 29h elapsed time for this event. I would hope to have, or the potential for (which I do), at least 11 on each farm by now. But... RL has taken priority.
After harvesting this morning I activated my "flower" CR, used some SOL and EOL, plus 4 refinements for my carnations AND water and manure... 9:17 instead of 18:54h. So I get to harvest my carnations twice as fast as no buffs aka twice as many drops in the same about of time.
I should be able to use the "flower" CR twice during this event.

While we don't have to use flowers... I LOVE flowers, in RL and on the farm. The wild roses are quite beautiful on the farm. I use flowers in part because I'm too busy to cultivate new refinements.
I have four TIME RELATED refinements for carnations, the only ones that apply to this event are Green Love and Early Bloomer. I should be using Water Love as well... silly me! I can make my own SOL and EOL, it's expensive to make but more expensive to buy. And the "flower" CR was won years ago, I love it!

If I were worried about drops I would do an assessment of which buffs I have available to me and work on refining crops that have time reductions. I'm currently working on wild rose... when I remember... lol

 

My forecast on this one is that there is not enough time because I got only eight from the initial long-time crop and two a little bit shorter, mainly like the rest of you write here. 1/6 of the time and only 2/15 of the resulting mill product and then not mentioned the first "bonus" long time crop. I always get my highest drop rate in the beginning of the events, so this looks certainly very bad. And you cant help it up with +1 buffs or similar help?? Like to quote little piggy in A.A.Milnes books "hielp"

 

I got 4 seed packets from snowball bush. I'm finding I'm getting reasonable drops of seeds, but not many paper bags, so I've switched my strategy to leave one field of long term crops, and two of animals I'm low on anyway. Right now I have butterflies and bunnies out, will see what I get for drops when harvest time comes. I also don't see myself finishing, but oh well. Too busy planning Easter cookie baskets to worry about it, lol.

edit: mini me got a reasonable haul of bags and seeds from spinach, 119 and 266 respectively. That farm doesn't have LLR maxed out, so doesn't do as well on drops usually, but I think that was decent amount.

 

I'm in the same boat as everyone else: unless the drop rat on paper bags increases dramatically, I won't finish the event. Right now, I'm at 11 games completed. I've tried different combinations of crops from white lily to jute and valerian with no appreciable difference in drops. Guess it really doesn't matter, it's not like it's a RL farm that my family depends on for it's existence - as folks 'round these virtual parts like to say - it's only a game.

 

Very same boat here. As end of day today I had 11 games completed...

 

Thank you @cubanmissilecrisis for starting the thread. 11 games completed, so far. Dropssss

 

I could make 4 mill products for more than 12 hours crop, and very close to get only three----far from enough for the CR .... Cannot understand how BP has decided the parameters this event, at least for me. I am very grateful for my kind neighbours who send daily gifts frequently but that could only be on the margin. I hope the breeding bonuses are not intended to do the rest, you would have to do much more than thousand breedings if the drops from the farming are on the same level

 

Thanks for the table, Moraine.
Thus I do not need to search the Rock & Robot thread to find the old combination Table.
Infact Last time I had take photo of tables & keep in my phone. But few months ago,
I just clear up some old photos. I never thought I need them again as ....
Who know BP like to repeat similar events
This teach me lesson. Those photo I take for BP event. I will keep them for over 1 year.
They may need in future !

Forget to add: Uptill Now, I had mill 17 seed pack. Paper Bag drop is short.
So... I may need to take out my howie again!

 

Thanks cubanmissile for starting thread and thanks Moraine for the table of combinations.
I have 18 games completed. I have crops on 2 fields and stables and trees on 3rd. Am only growing what I need for my barn.
