Frappe Olé Strategy Thread of May 2018

Frappe Olé Strategy​

Time: 30th of May - 5th of June , 5 whole days, 2 half days.
Where: Main Lands (Main, Meadow & Glade)
FAQ: Frappe Ole Thank you Mods!
SOS: SOS -Frappe Ole Thank you Joanc

Crop: Pipe Bambo 7h
- 5:36 hr with water applied; With Tree of Wisdom runes unlocked:5:03 hr with water and manure applied
Drop: Wrench (Mainland, crop, animal & trees)

Mill Items:
Bent: 28 crop + 3 drop
Straight: 22 crop +2 drop.

Preplanned Requirements - 10 levels: (Thanks to m_adele12,)​

Straight pipes = 202
Bent pipes = 197
Crops needed = 9960
Wrenches needed = 995 - Average of 5=199 - Average of 6=166

****
Plot:
10 levels with labyrinths we need to lay the pipes. We can pick up extra rewards along the ..pipeline. Therefore it is difficult to calculate the exact need of crop/drop as you can choose different paths. Once we've done all 10 levels, we can start all over again.

Rewards: ​

Each level gives you star coins. The CR and Items cost 53 Star coins, and much more interesting (for me) is the Crate O' Treasure Hunt for 5 Star Coins. That one can be bought mulitple times, and with a little bit of luck or a lot of starcoins give a lot of goodies.

FAQ: Crate O' Treasure Hunt

Completing all 10 levels once rewards 56 Star Coins
(no limits on how many times you can do it)

I haven't gotten so far as to have a go at calculating a guesstimate of requirements yet, so please fellow farmers - feel free. I'll add them as soon as they are posted. I'll try to keep the most cost effective all rewards route in the first post.

Disclaimer: I've ran out of excuses for messing up, but I still do it. So help out dear fellow farmers.


Thanks:
Julie for counting the days correctly
Habalala for the Water & manure times, and for the EP calculation.
Joanc for the SOS thread
m_adele12 for the total requirements
Marlymar for the check of numbers

 

Thanks for starting this Moraine! There's 31 days in May so I think it's 5 full days + the 2 1/2 days The prizes in the Crate looks good.....just hope I get more the ep/tep/cc's

 

Indeed there is Post updated, thanks Julie
I saw crab pool, and I need a lot of crabs for a quest. That's what I have my eyes on. Wish I hadn't glued them open to make sure I don't lose sight of the goal. Kinda feel like blinking

 

Thanks Moraine for the kick off.

7hr crop
With Tree of Wisdom runes unlocked:
5:36 hr with water applied
5:03 hr with water and manure applied

rewards (2x2 field)
Pipe Bamboo 7hr = 92 EP
Cranberry 3:30 hr *2 = 40 EP
Laurel 3:30 hr *2 = 52 EP

Even when you do not participate in the event itself, EP wise it is worth growing the event crop nevertheless.

Do not try to straight out the bent pipes, nor try to bent the straight ones!

Fingers crossed BP doesn't need a plumber to fix things again.

Good luck everyone!

 

thanks for open the thread.
Will try to see if I could do more than one times. But first, the drop of wrench need to be good.

Also like to remind players:
The event start on 16:00 CET because there is a maintenance held from 14:05 CET to 16:00 CET.
Make sure event had start before harvest your well prepare field!

 

Yes, thank you.
Love the pipe event. I will actually do this event.

 

Anyone notice the Event Feeds Tab?

I was hoping this might allow us to continue with animal feed but I am thinking it is more likely just a filter.

 

It is just a filter illy, you can see it in your baha mill right now.

 

Oh well, one can only hope ...

 

Huhu

 

The Farmerama maintenance planned for Wednesday, 30 May 2018 ending around 16:00 CEST continues:

 

my maintenance is done but sadly no event yet I messed up and harvested one of my fields that's when I noticed it hadn't started yet I know I should have checked first lesson learned that will just take away from my initial harvest

 

Me too ... not hanging about for the event now. If I log in later and the event has started, I will just plant the first 5 seeds, give them a boost of SSG and wait till morning.

And I messed up with my gifts, I was so confused!

 

It didn't help, yet another mess up occurs at the start of an event and it seems plumbers are needed in big numbers. Bummer.

 

I see some scheduled items have gone live, but not this event...I think I will wait a bit longer and refresh just after the hour to see if it goes live then...

 

Thank you Moraine, and all your helpers too.
I forgot there was another event in the pipe - line!!! I fell asleep with sorghum on the main field. Harvested that field and planted 44 2x2s of carnations with all the bells and whistles(SG, manure, water). Have pens and trees ready to harvest when event starts.
Good luck to all us potential plumbers!!
SOS thread posted.

 

Using pre-set plans for all 10 levels to determine the maximums needed (crops and wrenches) I came up with following:

Straight pipes = 202
Bent pipes = 197

Crops needed = 9960
Wrenches needed = 995

Hope this helps.

 

Thank you m_adele, awesome work! I'll post it in the first post so we have it all in one place.

Looks like two rounds is close to doable.

 

After first glance it seems like previous runs of the same were much better. Many more star coins to gather and actuall rewards to buy, now Treasure Hunt Crate is all there is? I don't pay that much attention to the game to remember what exactly was happening on previous runs of the same event, but this looks like yet another downgrade, another step in destructing what once used to be a good game. Am I missing something? Can I get insight from those who keep records of the game developement pls. Thinking of skipping it completely as I did both the the overly greedy last breeding event and poorly balanced Temple Monkey Day.

 

I did some preset and some on my own I came up with 199 straight pipes and 159 bent pipes I forgot to thank moraine for starting this thread and thank you dear neighbor m_adele for your numbers and everyone else who has helped and joan for starting sos thread
