Frappe Ole Strategy

The wife and I have both completed level six and are waiting on drops to finish level 7.
I figured out that I have enough event crop to complete the pipe process so I switched to a refined crop that gives a ton of drops (for me anyway). A few more hours and we'll both be complete.
Oh, we did it the old fashioned way, we collected everything.

 

I had plan all 10 level, Now finished Lv 7, wait for event crop mature so for mill pipe.
So far, don’t torn too much of my field for event crop.
Still keep mix farming. But after plan all the route and know alot of pipes I need
I short of drops.Quite a long time not have such situtition.
But I sure it will happen more often as this event, again come just after the previous one.
That make me can’t got good prepare for inital drops.
O.K. Still alot of time to go. So overnight crop with turnip sure will help alot.
Sad is that, BP seem to forgot the plant refinery. For high level players, start from rose hip,
it’s grow time is 19hr upward. unless using Alchemist product, it will take a long time to
gorw the crop using only water & manure.

 

What an awesome event....Figuring out how to lay the pipe, then comparing it to the hint, is great. By using shortcuts you can save yourself many wrenches. Well done event!!

 

Struggling drops wise. I will be able to get enough crops for one full run through but not sure if I can get all the drops needed!

 

Completed all 10 levels..CR up and running

 

I finished the 10 levels and have the cloud row up and running! I will now keep growing event crops and gathering drops to get some extra prizes for me this has been a fun event!
Good luck to all working on the Frappe Ole pipeline!

 

I've noticed that the drop rate for the event crops overnight is significantly increased from those grown in the daytime - at least 10 more drops per field. Not a big deal but makes event crops overnight a little more interesting. I have grown them for two nights now and had the same result. Now I must revert to longer crops to let my drops catch up with my crops but at least the drops weren't as bad as they normally had been when harvested in good time. Or maybe the fact that I watered and sometimes manured them made them a shorter timed crop?

I have reached level 8 and am awaiting drops to continue. I'm hoping to go round twice to pick up some lovely goodies.

Good luck all and happy shopping.

 

I got the CR up and running last night and completed the last step this morning. My question is do I have to start from the very beginning again or just click on the one I want to do? Thanks!!

 

Give it a go Julie. I was wondering the same ... I am waiting on one drop to finish (please don't send any - it will come very soon) but I only got the CR up and running this afternoon. Was working and didn't go in to check if I had enough coins to set it up ... it seems I did with a few to spare! I want to grab some more goodies now.

It would be nice to get 65 coins several times. I might manage to complete my shopping list!

Edit: Julie, you have to do the levels in order!

 

Cloud row up and running on 4 of my farms despite starting a day late. The other farm was too full of pens etc to uproot everything but even with only 160 1x1 plots I am up to level 7. Another farm which only had 304 1x1 plots has the cloud row and I have restarted to get more stars.
This farm is waiting for level 5 (restarted) to be completed. Tonight I will decide what to spend the star coins on. Oh, decisions - hope I made the right choices late at night!

 

Both my farms have the cloud rows up and running. Went a bit further and then decided to bag it in favor of just planting crops that I need for feed, etc. But, at least I got through it and with plenty of time to spare.

 

that's what I did too dumbunny

 

Finished on all farms -- now just trying for some additional stables. -- can use some more Pheasants.

Would be nice after you completed it if you could repeat any of the levels whenever (not in order).

 

I have also got the Cloud Row up and running, done levels 1 to 10, as i am on my 2nd Run trying to get additional Star coins for more prizes.

Not too impress with this event due to not able to get enough Star Coins to get some other prizes from the store. As they are expensive in terms of star coins from a recent event

At least was able to get the CR + Givers.

I too agree shame we can, many thanks for suggestions and tips the easiest method for me was Auto planner then amended to my liking. I did have have couple episodes of Idle farming due to festivities

 

All done Cloud Row up and running, doing more levels to get additional items.

 

Again, probably too late, but is anyone having trouble buying the givers for the cloud row?

 

Final harvest will leave me with 8 minutes to spare. Hoping it will get me enough drops. Will update you in an hour!

UPDATE: I fell one drop short on my final harvest so purchased the last one with 2BB. I wasn't aiming for the cloud row, just wanted all the extra star coins to get as many goodies as possible! Pretty happy with my loot, but overjoyed to be getting back to regular crop growing (with a few extra bonuses in the bag thanks to this event)

 

Wow! That was exciting! This morning - about 7 hours ago now - I needed 72 Wrenches and little time to grow anything very long. So I decided to try out refined Roses. I am sure (though not 100%!) that this yielded 29 Wrenches and with several harvests of Orange Tulips and something similar (can't check cos maintenance has just started lol!) yielding 6 or 7 each harvest, I was in with a very slim chance.

So I took a deep breath and planted another field of refined Roses which would be ready with just about 4 minutes of the event left.

In between, I fed a few critters in the Glade some PF to hurry them along, continued to check my fields ... again and again and again. My Orange Tulips were ready 2 minutes before the Roses so, with my critters coughing up a few Wrenches, I then got 10 ... yes 10 ... Wrenches from my Orange Tulips.

End result (and this is guesswork) I now have 4 Wrenches left and about 30 event plants. I had already decided what I would buy with my coins though it didn't amount to much. I selected the 15 Golden Bananas, 15 Farm Coins, the Harvester and the Sticker (had 17 coins - now 12 - left lol!).
Oh, nearly forgot, when I harvested my (now) unnecessary refined Roses, they gave me a whopping 35 Wrenches!

Luckily I have enough SG left to get the next event up and running though I will be starting late due to having to work when the event starts. Most inconvenient!
I did like this event but I find it very frustrating to decide between GBs, PF and Secret stuff.

 

Wow illy1996, congrats on a "photo finish!" Talk about an exciting finish! I did like this event and thought it was fun!

 

Yes, Sanddollar. I know that I could have posted here before the end of the event and I would have been inundated with Wrenches but it was quite thrilling to be so near and having to use my own wits (what I have left that is!) to finish. I have a few BBs too which would have been used if I had been close but no other method of getting more drops. All in all, a nice event.
