Main fields tied up all month with a ton of crops needed

A whole month of working on quests and even finishing every step, the final 3 upgrades must be purchased with BB

 

I completely missed the milled products so I thought this was going to be an easy one.

Seriously thinking about letting this one pass me by completely. More EP items with upgrades. More crates to open. Ridiculous requirements, yup ... count me OUT of the first quest anyway!
Good luck anyone who goes for this!

Edit: I might do Quest 3!

 

Hmmm.....now let me think about my strategy for this event...…….oh that's it - just get the base giver and hey presto......I'm done!

Looking forward to opening the Crate o' Crap, sorry Apples, every 24 hours




Update - good heads up re Quest 3 illy1996 - no effort needed.

Also noticed an upgrade to the Crate o' Apples - it doesn't matter though because it will more than likely mean getting heaps of 1 Apple before anything else.

Thank you too Arielh for crunching the numbers.

 

Thanks Arielh for the start and overview!

Small adjustment: 81 * 450 = 36.450 Pitcher Posies
Making the total of 52.800 event crop needed when doing all of the 1st quest.

It's possible to skip a few steps. For upgrades and Apple Juice (+) only -no CR-:
1. SGD (upgrade)
2. S
3. SGD (upgrade)
4. S
5. SGD (upgrade)
6. SGD (upgrade)
7. SGD (upgrade on G, apple juice (+) on D)

This requires 74 Fruit Cups 1 and 13200 event crop, making it a total of 46500 Pitcher Posies needed.

The 1st quest runs for 10 days on mainlands only. It's possible to get 4650 event crop daily by using all 3 fields to the max.
After growing enough event crop for full planting: 592 1x1 plots, with CAC applied = 1776 event crop + replant -> 3 harvests a day needed. No slacking!

Obviously another beyond ridiculous high requirement event.

I'll boycot this one.

 

If you want the cloud row, you will have to do Level 4, Gold and Diamond to get the Pear Juice so you will need to add another 7 fruit cups and 1150 crops.

 

A whole month to work on those high requirement FSQs - Yippee!

Ariellh: just a little typo - Quest 2 finishes on 18 August (not 8 August).

Excuse my rudeness: thank you for doing the maths and putting everything together - I might not be doing these quests but I appreciate the hard work you have put in to making it all clear for us.

 

I'm out. I find this type of event too stressful. Best of luck to all.

 

Thanks Arielh, for your hard work and starting this thread! I have no interest in tying my farmlands up to do this event.
So I will not be doing any of it! Good luck to those of you going for it!

 

No tying up your farmlands for Quest 3 Sanddollar!

 

Thank you and good job putting together the requirements, Arielh. These multi-week events always get me confused.
I don't plan on even starting this one, as there doesn't seem to be any advantage offered that's worth tying up the farm for a month. Good luck to all who venture forth into event land.

 

Nice work putting all this together neighbour

But, yeah, I am also sitting this one out.

 

Thanks illy for the "heads up!" I will go see if the prizes for quest are worth what I might need to turn in!

 

Quest 3 needs 3525 drops in 6 days = 588 drops per day
588 drops per day on 6 fields = 98 drops per field per day

Seems reasonable to achieve (esp when using some long timed crop in the preparation). But all will depend on the drop rate, which given the relative low requirement, I expect won't be superb.

I agree with Illy, quest 3 seems worth a try.

 

I would even say there is nothing to lose ... grow crops, put out animals, trees, workshops - all main and Baha fields give drops.

 

You are welcome I also won't do this event but it was not truble for me to do the numbers.
Well of course I will give a try to the Quest 3
Thank you for pointing out what I miscounted and any typos.I have corrected them now.

 

Thanks for the numbers Ariel. My strategy is to continue farming normally and ignore this event as the prizes don’t appeal for the cost in crops

 

Thank you Arielh for starting the thread and for doing the math. I will do Quest 3 since the FSQ Theater of Crows is calling (or cawing) to me. Good Luck to All, whatever you do!

 

Thank you Arielh, and everyone else for the comments...I won't feel bad that I won't be able to do most of this, due to my schedule this month. Quest #3 and a little more maybe.
Good Luck everyone.

 

Welcome to the Good Ship broke. As you enjoy life you will find sanity and stress-free peace of mind. Enjoy the voyage.

Ariehl, thanks for showing up and letting me know what the stressers need.

And by the way, since you manage to slither in here, the farmer_broke farm would like to name its favorite anaconda: Arielh the Anaconda. You have 41,474 friends on the farm and only 10,504 feed. I hope you will share with your friends.

So the junkers will be needing

• apples (2,192,090 in the barn)
• pears (1,041,582 ...)
• plums (1,214,416 ...)
• cherries (1,000,030 ...)
• apricots (236,138 ...)
• mangoes (273,800 ...)
• figs (56,216 ...)
• yellow pears (571,517 ...)
• oranges (497,333 ...)
• celery (1,024,683 ...)
• cucumber (1,257,676 ...)
• blackberry (905,743 ...)
• cranberry (442,696 ...)
• watermelon (517,851 ...)
• blueberry (346,824 ...)
• sugar cane (353,557 ...)
• grapes (1,245,486 ...)
• passion fruit (177,177...)
• pineapple (227,112 ...)

hmmmm that was a lot of growin for an ooooooooooold farmer noooooooow.

Just maybe I can afford to buy me one of those chocolate shake thinggies and rest under the broke-tree for a spell.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh sucks, I just membered I haven't harvested in a week so I might oughta get to it sometime in the future.

see ya after my wandering with illy the ladybug
