    Happy it helped, I too was confused at first. I tried & tried, I couldn't figure out how. Because we ll have so far played the maze where we enter through one side & get out through another and rotate the intermediate connections. So we approached this game with that approach & it failed. Actualy this mini game is different & easy. We have to just figure out how. So I re read our FAQ & others and found out how.

    Thank You 12ss12, for simplifying. Your Brilliancy has helped me to go ahead with the Event otherwise I too was thinking quit.

    455 Lantern covers on initial harvest here, and 405 on AmySue52. May the drop Fairy be with us! :)

    12ss12: I read your directions and it still took me 29 minutes to clue in what was happening. That was tough.

    Perre,
    Bat Mail is the bonus gift you get from the Coffin Calendar if you've opened all of the first 7 days. When you place it on a field it gives out drops for this event.

    If you would like new neighbours the latest request thread is here:
    https://board-en.farmerama.com/inde...est-thread-24-october-2018.33775/#post-210082
    There's a new thread daily, look in the 'Neighbour requests' in the 'Users + game' section.
    It's probably best to specify if you want ones who will exchange gifts, and be willing to delete ones which don't.

    The SOS thread is seperate from the strategy thread, it's here:
    https://board-en.farmerama.com/index.php?threads/sos-the-mysterious-maze.33799/

    I know it's a nuisance but we get warned and then posts edited if we go off topic, so please post in the correct threads.

    Best of luck for the event!

    i understood what i had to do but still managed to box myself in horribly by mistake, took a while to get out again lol.
    The rewards don't seem that great unless you want lots of witch upgrades but I am behind on the cursed coins so I need to try to get 14 more from this event. I don't think I can do it and have no idea how people manage to complete. What is cac? Any other secrets I should know to achieve 6 games per day while only being able to devote 4 hours per day to this game? Is it doable? Seems pretty tough, infact no i definetely can't grow 3000 crops per day and that is not even to complete this.

    Carrot Apple Chutney, it is a product from the Confectionary that when used in a Diamond buff renders 2 units more to each plot of crops harvested. It works in all lands and event crops. Kind of a big deal and big help... ;) You potentialize its results by planting 1x1 plots since you get +2 units per plot. With 1x1 you can put more plots down than the 4x4s... makes sense?

    Yeah, I have 25 Star coins and a sticker. LOL.. After several silly design attempts. :p Think I got the hang of it.
    Do we get points for picking up all the non - glowing junk? There is a lot of litter in the maze! :)

    Thanks for all the terrific strategy...especially to illy and 12ss12(I probably would not have figured out the maze:p)!!!!!!!!
    I'm completely in on this event!!! I'm seriously behind on cursed coins... so hoping to pick more up.

    The drops of lantern covers seem plentiful. Thanks BP for having them come from all fields and all items!:music:

    Many thanks for the answer, Helped a lot!
    To my justification I have to say that I looked for the SOS thread but couldn't find any suitable. And I am an intermittent player and it seems to be impossible to retain neighborships.
    If everybody were able to write concise and short and only about strategy (all the "thanks" not included, have to be possible to find a more suitable thread for those) this should be a more easy-read thread and absolute more time-saving, at least for those of us that don't read english, with all your abbrevations and such things, so easily :)

    (My) strategy is pretty much straight forward like most events.
    • Build up crop to have enough to plant all fields used (2 for me for now, might increase later).
      • Using large plots the first time, SuperGrowth (SG), water, manure and Suzie Super Growth (gives more crop).
      • Use carrot-apple chutney =+2 harvest(if you are a bit short Perre, plz send me an ingame mail, I have enough to share 100% free)
      • Use Fruitcake and White Innocent to make SuperGrow more effective.
    • After 1 or 2nd round of growing the stock, I switch just to water
    • If drop is an issue, use the longest crop over night. The longer time => the more drops.
      • If you haven't traded in your trophies into the rune, move them around. Tehy only work on the field ethey are at. Let them rest, make sure they "take". I used to switch fields to be sure.
    • Grow, mill, play the game.
    • Be happy keep smiling, it's only a game, and if time is not on the event side, lower the aim.
    I do this more or less every time. Before an event I sometimes grow my longest crop to maximizing drop, most of the time I don't bother anymore. But that is due to I don't struggle with drops any more. As this is standard procedure for most of us Event-crazy people (we call it Event-Farmerama-Obession-Compulsion-Disorder (EFOCD) ) we don't bother to mention it every strategy thread. Any new strategy is usually on the first two pages, and when you've been around a little while, you can spot those post very easily, even before any morning brew (coffee)

    i see so instead of producing 160 crops per 40 4x4 fields every time I would be producing 40 x 4 x 3 = 480 crops.

    That's 3 times as much, nice. that should help

    Just a quick reminder.
    If your pumpkin scarecrow is on a peace directly at the edge of the game, you can push it out with the new maze peace. The scarecrow will appear on the other side of the maze. Sometimes that is way easier/faster than making your way through the maze.

    I think I forgot to make it clear that after the first round of build up, I switch to 1x1 (or rather, lazy me keep 1x1 all the time, just close my eyes when using SG and Suzie)

    Then you have 202 small plots, with a cac yields 4 per 1x1 = 20244= 808 per field.

    after play 11 games.. I finally familiar with how to get treasure & exit the game.
    It really take some time to achieve. maybe I’m not good at this kind of game :sleepy:
    But still had some times that just got mess the plan.(click too fast that
    make the scarecrow move to useless plot):cry:

    Just want to give my two cents.
    When the game required more than a treasure or after you get the treausre and need to exit.
    If you find that the scarecrow are still in path for the next target(treasure), or the exit.
    try to put the new puzzle to the arrow sign that when insert the puzzle, it will not affect
    your path. Then once insert the puzzle, can move the scarecrow to your target!

    I noticed this when I stupidly insert the puzzle and find that the scarecrow are already in
    the path and then move by my quick insertion! :cry:

    I am running out of spots on my monitor for all the sticky notes. So much to remember!
    20 mazes complete... Only 35 more Mysterious Mazes to the CR, and what a lovely CR it is!! :music:
    Neddy38 I have left Jack on the same spot twice, because it was the only spot to leave him. More Coffee, please?!!?? xD

    had some great success getting cursed coins recently. opened my 3 free coins yesterday, got 3 more free coins, played them, got 3 more free coins.
    Today I opened my 3 free coins, got 3 more free coins from them, then 2 more after that.

    Couple more days like this and I won't need the maze event. I did mention how to maximise drops imo, players opening 90+ cursed crates and only getting 1 cursed coin have made me cringe but maybe I have been very lucky, who knows.
