onetwo...thank you for being ON ITAppreciate the maths and info required. Also super happy we have a few days before this event starts
All the best everyone...it's SPOOKY time

 

Well i am going full in to clean the house completly but the prizes to gain this event in this size are dissapointing but other than that it looks very nice again

12 thanks for the calculations well done copied it

 

I am a bit disappointed I have to rip up my farm again, I've been enjoying being lazy and having pens out. And I honestly did think it would be just the MM field being used - lol, I can be so naive at times. But yes, a new grow & throw event will be nice again, even if prices might not be huge on the on the wow-scale

Thank you 12 for the calculation and starting the thread

 

Prizes disappointing here. I'm only going for the Mystery stables and only if it isn't too much work.

 

Thank you for the maths 12ss12
Only want the wonder stables and the party spins ... to try to get the two Birdstones i am missing on the cloud row

Don't want the cloud row to the event ..it gives yet MORE ...EP&TEP which i don't want ...so one less click

To me they aren't Banjoman ...i make enough EP &TEP from other sources and am not that bothered about levelling up these days...because there is no incentive in the game to do that

Will try for some CC's...they are worth having in my book

Hmm....You will get these drops when harvesting your spooky trees and spooky crops on the Moonlight Playfield.
Which means we start with zero drops

You are the only one that can answer that question Banjoman... because we all play the game differently

 

Are the EP/TEP givers worth the effort?

 

21 GAZILLION junks And how can I make any CCs? I'm sorta broke.

Something real spooky about the event.

 

Thanks for doing the numbers One Two

 

Somebody is trying to play tricks on me I just know there is some power feed in one of those rooms somewhere.

 

I think I'm going to do this event but I'm not going to be in a big hurry I don't really care about the CR but I will try to do as much as possible without stressing out over it I'm going to grow the crops as quick as possible then I can get my pens back out and do the rest of the event at a relaxing pace good luck everyone on getting what you all want and those that are going to try and finish the whole event

 

Yeaaaaah go find it Broke! I will give you a CAC if you search EVERY room.

 

I'll give one too, and throw in an Easter Marmalade as well, but you have to provide photo proof!

Not sure how, but I totally missed the release of the FAQ, 4 days ago! Fortunately, not much to be done in way of prep. Wow, totally deplete us of PF with back to back high requirement breeding events, then not give us any as prizes??? Keep going, new owners, you're doing a fine job of alienating your customer base. Anyway, I'll do some of this, maybe even all if the mood strikes me, but won't get too worked up if I don't complete it. While I lve the Spare a Strip giver (suits my twisted sense of humor), the cloud row's just not that exciting. Good luck to all who participate, and in any event, enjoy the extended MM!

 

Hi I thought we were going to have the house for the Halloween Event on Oct 25. and use MM to grow more crops for the Oct 25th event. Wow what will happen on the25th then?
Happycallie

12 Thanks for all the help you give us.

 

Is my calculator broken, or do we really only need to grow 20,250 Arcane Sunflowers?

 

nope GuineaUp your calculator isn't broken that's what I got too lol can someone tell me if I use 1x1 fields for the 3 fields we can grow these crops on no trees or anything just 1x1s how many times would we need to grow the event plant on the 3 fields that's after the initial growing on 2x2s to build them up so you have enough for 1x1s on all 3 fields? thank you

 

When I look at the first example of the house, the one with the arrows and the explanation of how we move through the house, and then look at the full house with just the numbers, the doors are in different places in the two examples. Which on shows the correct positioning of the doors. Am I correct or am I missing something?

 

Looks to me like they used a pic from last yr's event FAQ... so I'd follow the pic with 41 rooms to chart your path.

~deleted my guess, lol~. I never get this one right ... and always end up over planting
Hopefully someone will break it down for us?

 

Not ignoring at all what you and Meba offer, I have chosen to address a very small portion of the total issue which apparently continues to involve FAQ releases. You will find it in General Issues.

----edit----

RL appears to be the limiting factor regarding event participation for this farm. Hope all reach their goals.

 

approximately 11 times, I think.

 

My real concern given RL interruptions.

And finding a harvester is another.
