Septemberfest 2018 - Strategy

I am in with this event too... Just tried the first mini game.... and it is SUPER SLOW!!!
So be prepared

Thanks everybody for numbers crunching... and oh.. I missed the 50 BB prize too

playing 100 levels with a total of 1792 points.. THAT IS a challenge...Not sure, if I can make it... but will do my best

Good Luck everybody and may the droprat be generous

EDIT: puh.... 1792 points in 100 games, makes an average of 18 points per game...not sure, if we can manage that.. But we will try

ANOTHER EDIT: max points per game are 22, (hitting the pretzels 3 times and the correct color 3 times), so getting 22 in each game would make 82 games to play with 36.655 plants and 1874 drops needed in total ... imho not only HARD to reach, but impossible without spending hundreds of BB for Supergrow, having a bit of a sleep at night and some RL commitments... hmpf

 

Agreed. As with the mini Dice game, the high level taskbar rewards in this new mini game aren't for average players. Those who are willing to buy bunches of baskets might make it to level 100. I will not blame anyone who does so. But for that amount of cash I would skip the entire event mini game and buy way more than 50 BBs the regular way

Also noiticed only the level 100 reward stands out, a whole bunch of rewards from level 70 and up aren't that great at all given the effort it takes to progress.

I go for the CR and consider any extra game and extra reward as a bonus.

I've played 2 games now, did a refresh prior to playing and went to the mini game by the news section. The game worked without any lag. Total score 36 points.

To aim well I suggest to hold your pointer at a fixed position, like :15 or :30 or :45 or on the hour. Then get used to how long it takes for a full go around of the pretzel before you release the mouse on a next round. Keep in mind it takes about half a second for the sticky ball to fly, so release just before a full hit. I know it'll take some (more) pratice to master it..

Good luck!

**edit** After reading the follow up post by -Mir85- I removed only, only once

 

What!????

Full main farm has 588 1x1 plots, one round of event crops yields 1,764 crops. For 82 mini games you need 36,900 crops. 36,900:1,764 = 21 rounds of event crops. I'm not saying this is for everyone, but it is possible to get 3 rounds of event crops during the day, at least with manure (can be produced on baha). So 6 days with 3 rounds of event crops + 3 overnight harvests gets you to 21 rounds and enough event crops. With event crops overnight for 3 nights you might need to use super grow and refinements to get enough drops. From what I have seen of the drop rate until now I would say a low estimate would be 200 starting drops + 200 drops per day = 1400 drops total of the 1886 drops needed. So maybe up to 500 SG will be needed to generate drops. These however do not necessarily have to be bought for hundreds of BBs. It is quite easy to save up SG from quests and events if you use your SG sparingly most of the time.

What I have described will not be possible for everyone, but is a hard challenge for those that want one. For some the way to complete the challenge might be to spend hundreds of BBs or buy bunches of baskets, and that is fine. But to suggest that it is the only way is simply not true.

Although I have never bought SG and never bought baskets, I do spend money on the game and have advantages from that. But there are players here who don't spend money at all, I hope those that go for it reach the goal of 50BBs. Good luck!

 

Thanks for pointing out it is possible with intense and dedicated farming.to achieve enough crops and drops for 82 mini games within the timeframe. That alone is a very hard challenge indeed but the hardest part is playing the mini game 82 times and gain the maximum score of 22 points in every mini game played. In my opinion this is near impossible, it's like hitting 82 times 180 in a row on a steady dartboard. So I'm pretty sure 82 mini games will not be enough to get all the points needed and that's where I feel the impossiblity of full completion without spending cash comes in. I guess (!) more crops and drops as you estimated are needed. Nevertheless I edited my previous post by a bit.

Wish you and all others going for it a lovely journey on the chase to the ultimate event goal.

Keep smiling every now and then!

 

It will be hard indeed! I have gotten 2*22 already, so only 80 more to go Good luck to you too!

 

My strategy was to use Comfort Fields with water, manure, SG and SSG and just now hit the 100 % Harvest bonus for 24 hours.
38 Globe blossoms per Comfort field in a little over 7 hours and 45 minutes !!!
I will nuke some tomorrow morning and get another harvest in during my break at work.

 

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiding the poop market up until the hurry-ups start to finish. Neon and pink pooper pens out. No worry with junker preparation at all. Nuked the first few event junks and gradually have them in outlying areas with water only. Poop is for selling not using. No CAC no nothing just yet. Plan to climb the beanstalk and head to the junk CAC row. But no use for it as pumpkin jam is used first. White innocence use is out of the equation.

I da know what the cloud row does or anything. I did look for a tree and no tree for me in the first few games so a real let down.

All I saw was about 13 gazillion junks. I hope I get around to it but seems like no loss. More junks..... again!

Good luck with whatever is it you are doing!

 

Is it just me or is the game playing like a delayed reaction? you shoot and it's a second or two before the ball moves...... grrrrrrr
Good luck everyone!!!

 

Hi All.

Correction it is an 6 Day Event. Therefore on basic of getting 50 Drops per har vest Globe Blossom Given we can do four harvest of Globe Blossom every 24 hours. On given average of 50 Drops Touch fasteners per Harvest times 4 = 200 Daily Drops, Would addup to 1200 Drops as we would need total of 1886 drops, which gives us a shortfall of 686 Drops to be able to achieve 82 Mini Games.

if any Farmer is getting below 50 Drops of three fields of Globe Blossom per Harvest, any additional harvest shortfall is added to 686 shortfall tally of touch Globe Blossom. Which all farmers can help each other by means of daily gift

We have to be honest with ourselves,to make allowances of lost Idle time which would hinder of Target of 369 00 Globe Blossom and 1886 Torch Fasteners

Having a good amount of Drops on initial Start is always a Bonus, due to Good Strategy Farming. But this could be hindered by two main factors 1) Lost Idle Time, 2) Below Par Daily Drop Target. Actually Daily Drop requirement is 314 Torch Fasteners

My Strategy is go with the flow see how things pans out with balance of Globe Blossom and Drops. I have a Backup Instant harvest of Touch Fasteners using Super Grow and Refinements combo of Comfort Fields

 

after palying 4 games, at last I catch the rhythm movement of the game.
I use i pad,So for touch screen playing, to catch the highest 22point per game
slowing move your finger to let the target sign come out, then slowing move it to
centre bottom of wheel(6 o’clock), wait until the desire color with sticker come to
bottom, slowing move your target up if the sticker is at high small portion. position
of target should be parallel with the sticker, when you sign is half way enter the color,
press the target to throw the ball, it will stick on sticker, for the lower big portion, throw it
at the same way, if ithe ball look too earlier, then adjust your throw time next time to have
your own desire position to throw. Yes, it may take a bit of time to finish a game, but you
know,get more point may be not free. Something it is $, or, time.
For those PC user with mouse, I think it will work the same.
Just need to check your network reaction time.

 

If it is my statement you are trying to correct, you should reread it first. I said a low estimate would be:

200 stating drops + 200 drops per day
= 200 + 200*6 = 200 + 1200 = 1400.​

For my part I will not have a shortfall of drops at all. I am using my howies when I harvest and getting enough drops just from growing event crops + a few storage houses in magical glade.

 

Mir85, I was thinking for All Farmers, who not have any Howie Donuts or Any Instant harvests feature using Comfort Fields with refinements yet
For those who have Howie Donut, can now add a Howie Donut to Living Legend Rune as I have done mine. It saves moving a Howie around our fields

Can you enlighten me, about Storage Houses it something I either missed in forum. This helps with Drops too

 

I have played 8 games and have 223 drops left in the pot. I have reached level 15 (14 down, 86 to go!). So I am confident ( ) I should be okay for drops.

I have decided to experiment with Comfort Fields. If my calculations are correct, with 44 Comfort Fields (with supergrow, water and manure) and edges with 1x1s, I should come close to the number of crops required.

Now if I could just swing a +100% or, even better, a +200%, it would be in the bag!

 

Mooboy, my low estimate of 1400 drops did not include howies. Storage houses is the collective term for menageries, manufactories and arboretums

Illy, so far so good

 

Thanks Mir. I figure that at my stage in farming, I should try and stretch myself a bit!

I traded my one Howie in on the Tree of Wisdom so should get drops from all fields (which is more than usual cos I could never be bothered to move my Howie!).

 

That +100 really helps. 18 games played, scored 20 on 2 games getting comfy with the wheel speed.
3282 crops and 11 fasteners left. Tonight I will put in something better for drops. And put my storage houses back out for the duration. Thanks for the reminder Mir.

 

Wow everyone seems to be doing ok! 24 hrs in and I have 7,632 event crops in the barn and my lands replanted. At this point I am using 1x1's and water and manure (as long as I can afford it) and have 530 event drops! I am happy with this and hope to get the 30 mini games done to get the CR! I have not tried the mini game yet but will do so soon! Good luck to all!

The Mindless Junker

The following is the result of yesterday's mindless junking activities for this farm and I must admit them to you:

The game provided the diversion at work yesterday. An assignment was completed, all paid decently and all appeared to be at peace with themselves. (I even asked my lady boss to harvest my farm for me and of course she said NO!)

Event junks were planted yesterday and harvested using outlying 1x1s. RL work receiving attention and junking seemed to be on track.

Now here is the mindless outcome:
Checked the farm late and fine I mindlessly thought. BUT I had planted the spaceship event junks
Even though spaceship junking was a first, the fact remains the wrong junks were planted and definitely not needed.

(laughing at the misfortunes of another is not always good even if it is farmer_broke)

Lesson learned: Mindless junking provides even more mindless outcomes.

On well, the event begins today for the farm with Neon and Pink Pooper Pens out still.
The only events junks available are in outlying 1x1s with no manure and definitely no junk CAC.



And off to a good start of the day. except for more mindless junking

Good luck to all with whatever it is you are doing

 

@farmer_broke , even if they are "mindless junks" you do still have to pay attention to which junks you are planting!
Good luck and have fun!

 

I never fool with the spaceship junks - worthless - as far as I'm concerned, anyway.

I am going to try to get all the factory upgrades and maybe the orange red panda pen. I do think that a little luck on the prize wheel would make this a whole lot easier...
