Farmerama Comic #7 Strategies

penguilnz is right. Pink, Red and Orange upgrades plus many of the rare animals. Regular animals all the way to the right in your inventory. These also take the most time to mature.

 

I started my tree timer last night at 2 am ( ok I stayed up late) and donated 36,000 EP from just XXL trees through out the farms, then went to bed. then next log in...went to harvest the big Jumbos, knowing I had this bagged. A POP-UP appeared stating all the prizes were already booked to my farm...What? Jeez, more Suzi spray wasted again!! I guess it was good to have started my timer at the very start of the event!

 

DBAYES, you must be a premium member. There was a glitch for the auto harvest so all the premium members that have that and had started the timer, got the first step booked.

 

Yes, I am a premium member but never have the auto tree harvester on. Thanks sweet_Cass...now I know.

 

Finished step 1! (Would have done so earlier but forgot to renew the buffs. )

Edit: Almost forgot, I had everything for step 2 so that is now complete as well.

 

I have finished level 1 on both farms now and am on target to finish level 2 on both today.

I was stressing about this level but, having looked again at the prizes and reading your comments, Aluntino, I will try to get as much EP as I can but will not worry if I miss it (well, not much, after all I have my FOCD to control!).

Sorry to hear you are unwell PnP - take good care of yourself.

Good luck everybody!

 

Completed step 1 quite awhile ago (forgot to post) and looking good to finish step 2 soon.

 

Finished step 1 and working on event crops now.

 

I am please to hear that many of you now completed Level 1 as there was slight confusion to those Premium Farmers as they was no need to regrow Trees for 60,000 EP

It is not easy to complete level 1 for Lower Level Farmer, who not got Pets, or Healthy CC to Buy Needed Trees to get good EP etc

I Planted my Stables Overnight Use Easter Cloud Row, plus Valentine Pot and Cheese Balls. I choose to only put out Parrot Feathers and Peanut Butter Factories on the island with couple orange Pandas and Orange Camels Pens, Rest was Panda Stables as island stables gives better EP than Main Farm Stables.

I did put out Jumbo Horse, Jumbo Goat Stable, which still awaiting for EP. I had a mixture of mostly Rare Stables. Chameleon Pens, Beaver Stables several Orange Pens

Using Spring wreath, Easter Marmalade, 6 Owls,Dragon and Unicorn Pet got 50,000 EP, my pending Stables will be just over 10,000 EP so in next two hours will get the remaining 10,000 Stable EP. I have already replaced the Spent Stables with Parachute Plants so by this Evening will have completed Level 4 of this Event

I was quiet worried that i would not get enough Stable EP, without the Need to continue Growing Critters get back on track to grow the remaining Parachute Plants and Cargo Drops

Those now working on Level 3, Try your Best to see if you can do it one go for those who use buffs and Pets....those who not got Pets but must use spring wreaths and easter Marmalade hopefully can do it on couple of harvest of stables then progress onto next level

Yes Level 3 is hardest bit to do for this event Good Luck

 

Finished step 1 this morning with a total of 52,257 which is much better than I thought I would do. I have my crops for level 2 & 4. Won't be doing last level as I don't have the breeding open. Just a little over 200 in drops though Now to tackle level 3 (feeling another headache coming on trying to figure it) Better drink another cup of tea first

 

Almost finished 3rd step. I forgot to check to see if Spooky Stables counted but I am happy to say that my feather collectors on Bahamarama did. I used both Spring Wreath & Easter Marmalaide to boost my ep's when I harvested. Using orange, red & a few pink pens, plus a couple of jumbo pens along with the buffs gave me enough ep's to do step. Also put out camel, pandas & monkeys on island.

 

Put my stables out overnight and finsihed step 3 and step 4 this morning
It's amazing what you find in your inventory, I found that I had 29 Orange horses

 

Look at the bottom right on the pictures of your stables in storage (or before purchasing if you plan to do that). That will tell you how many EP they will yield, then just pick your highest value ones. Generally, it will be red, pink and orange, plus some rare stables, but not all rare stables. Also, factor in the timing. An orange chicken (just to pick an example) only yields 23 EP, but if you are home and able to harvest it every time it matures, then it might be better than, say a regular horse. (maybe .. I did not do the math, and it would depend on if you really were able to instantly harvest as soon as they are ready).

 

I am unable to get into my Game Account for the last 3 hours. I give up on moving to L2...

 

I set up level 3 on 2 of my farms last night. This one and one of my lower farms. I first made a list of all of my pink, red and orange pens (how many X basic ep). My main had plenty to work with and finished instantly this morning. The lesser farm didn't and I filled in with higher level pens. I can say with certainty that peanut butter factories work! That farm only needs about 10,000 more to complete. Since I did them overnight I planted the red cabbage in the remaining spots (I have more than enough in stock but why deplete what I have). I'll set up the other farms tonight for level 3 and in the mean time growing the event plants on those. Good luck everyone.

 

Yes, I know SillyGuy. I learned the hard way clicking in the cloud row information. Oh well,...
Thanks!

I think anyone has already shared this information but for those that have doubts: Parrot-feather and peanut-butter factory do contribute to the EP timed step 3. I confirmed by harvesting manually.

Good luck to everyone with the event!

 

I finished the third step now with 11:24 hours remaining on the timer, it was a burden and I am happy it is finished, what helped me most was the big number of orange horse stables, which usually I won from the wheel, also orange ostrich stables, and orange cow sheds, but what really made me finish quickly are the jumbo stables, I have 3 orange (goat, pig and horse) which I did not manage to harvest when I started the timer, they need 48 hours so I used 3 power feed on them and harvested once, but the best were the jumbo yellow stables, I had 8 (2 goats, 2 horses and 4 pigs) for 36 hours and I managed to harvest them twice(with water and power feed), once when I started the timer and the second that finished the quest, for the players who are going for this quest I found that after I put my colored stalls on the fields there is still a lot of space so I filled it with some rare animal stalls, and the classic II stalls which I found were very useful because of the short time needed to harvest, I was able to harvest some of them 3 times, good luck for you all.

 

PNP and Suzee, sorry to hear you two are down. I have been in hospital since Tuesday. Got home a few hrs ago. Round the clock on meds and oxygen. No access to game while there. Gonna take a stab at this but it is a little brainteaser at this time. Good luck to all.

 

I certainly hope you are feeling better now, or shortly! Take care of yourself!

 

I started the timer on step 3 and my first harvest was over 31000. Now I can sleep on it and finish tomorrow.
