Promo: event timer, news page
IT is listed as EASY,
You can only use the 3 mainland fields
There is a special crop= Pipe Bamboo ( 7hr crop )
The drop is a wrench
And there is going to be 2 mill products= straight pipe and bent pipe
Ways to get wrenches= you can gift these or buy them in the shop
Also there will be baskets you can buy.
There is an instant solve in the upper left hand corner for those who might need help figuring the puzzles out( I know I do lol ).
You must do the levels in order you cant pick and choose the order you want to go in.
After you finish all levels you can go back and do them over again unlimited times to win more rewards.
You will win star coins that you can spend in the event shop.
I'm not going to give any amounts since you can pretty much choose your own path so the amounts will all be different depending on the path you take.

PS: I will get my fields ready by planting carnations the night before the event to hopefully start off with a lot of drops And I will save my gifts until after event starts. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE GOING FOR IT

 

Thank you Marlymar. I recall this event as easy, but the drops could be tricky. Carnations will be on all my fields, too.
For anyone needing help with drops the SOS is here.
Good luck and have fun collecting star coins!!

 

Does anyone know if rose hips give better drops than carnations? Assuming I get them planted early enough since I don't have them refined that is.

 

LDCrow - Sadly, there are no refinements on rose hips. I have found they seem to give better drops that carnations, but not dramatically.

 

Overlapping events, AGAIN! Stoppit BP!!!
So much for a little farmlaxin'

 

Thanks Willow, I hadn't even looked yet. Still I think I'll plant them just for something different if I can remember to get them in early enough.

 

I will get my carnations out - but I really wanted to build back up my inventory.
I do recall this being easy. Last event I managed to get extra givers to gift to my baby farm . It managed to get far enough to buy CR - but not all the givers.
Drops were a bit of a problem if I recall.

Are the pipe paths the exact same as last time? Anyone analyzed yet?

 

I shall be putting sweet clover out overnight on 1x1 ready to harvest when I get back from work. It doesn't seem to give any better drops than refined carnations but I'm growing it for the FSQ. I didn't do the last one of these but might have a try at this one.

 

Debating if I want to do this one. The cloud row is only good if your chasing EP's, I'm not. If it gave CC's too I would be all in. I did the last one. Decisions, decisions . . . .

 

You are right baw815, the CR is not a must have for me either.
With all the events taking most of my supplies I will be doing this event for restocking goodies. (And for GBs, Stars and FCs)

 

Gee, this is sure an event to look forward to... no one has done the numbers for the crops required.
My jury is still out on this one.

 

Because it depends on the path you chose & whether you desire the extra goodies available. And you can go thru the whole thing as many times as you want/time allows. So no numbers, just grow, grow, grow & hope the drop rat is generous UNLIKELY
Drops are going to be the biggest constraint. Grow event crop during your day & your best drop crop for your overnight crop.
Even if the CR does not appeal to you, the miscellaneous items can really help you out with future events.
Good Luck everyone & Happy Farming!

 

The Cloud Row may not be so meaningful to some of us as Dafodily pointed out that is worth to try get as many Farm Coins as you can as there are many useful things to buy in the store with them

So number of event crops and drops depends how many required for your own set GOAL !!

 

We have lives.... and overlapping events makes for frustration for some of us. Can we finish one event before the other starts Please .... oh my goodness. So much for drops on day 1. .......

 

Well I'm all in as I was not playing when this one came around the first time and I could use the EP giving CR. I'm all planted up for an overnight drop crop and we'll see how it goes. Just grow, grow and grow some more of the event crop and hope for good drops.

 

Excellent analogy, dafodily, those drops can be pesky little rats! (not making fun of you, I make way too many typos to make fun of anybody, I just found it very apropos and funny ) I have more than enough farm coins I can buy the CR and givers without doing the event (I tend to hoard them, afraid to spend them for fear they'll be needed for something I just HAVE to have ), but I'll do it anyway so I don't run down my stash. Not going to get too worked up about it, will try to restock some of the crops pinatas depleted at same time.

 

Me too spots, someone else made the typo several months back, I was just repeating it.

Star coins are given as rewards for this event, used to buy items in the event shop only and any left at the end of event will be converted like all other excess event items. I've noticed several posts calling the event coins FARM COINS!

BE AWARE THE COINS GIVEN AS REWARDS ARE NOT I REPEAT NOT FARM COINS. THEY ARE STAR COINS!

 

I didn't like this event last year as it was tedious, the drop rate was terrible, and there wasn't much flexibility with pipe placements, but I finished it because the CR offered the crate o' farm coins (even though I mostly only get one coin at a time from it....grrr) but still, one farm coin is better than none on a regular basis. For this event however, the EP CR doesn't interest me so I'm only going for the stables, trees and some supplies.

 

Thanks for the clarification, dafodily . I really need to pay more attention to things .

 

Your welcome. Your not the only one who called the coins, farm coins. And I'm sure anyone who just skimmed the FAQ for the event may have done so also. Didn't want people to get tripped up by the possible confusion.
