The farmer_broke Event

Ok think I got it this time not much chance of getting drops from Cress finally got the refinement

I need no help there

 

Great.
New quests will appear as you level up and those are the only ones you really need to review in order to mark. You are deciding now which quests you will do and/or prepare to do. Most likely a participant will remove the mark from quests either because they have done what they will do or have changed their mind. Changing your mind will happen.

Someone may bring the revenue aspect of this Event to our attention. Even revenue will manage to get your attention.

I don't know exactly how you have done what you have done but good luck.

I am not ignoring you. I see you know a decent part of the game itself and are beginning to see all of the directions which are open to you.

There is "ep-room" for alternative choices AND bad decisions. You most likely will make a few poor decisions AND at some point will realize it. (Explaining a foolish move to others may help them not to make the same move.) The poor decisions are not cost-free and you will pay in some way. Participants are a danger to their own farms here.

I'm trying to think of a way to explain how your focus can change. Please now that if you do not direct your focus then thee focus will be made for you. Please give me a little while to try.

One must decide what they can or should not do while game events are taking place. The decision changes based upon the faqs. I have a farm that took about 60 drops during one event and the farm paid for farming. I got so scared then that I cleared the fields (except for water tanks).

Water tanks award no ep and eventually will pay for themselves if one is milling power feed.

More on water: When one begins to venture up the tree then one will have a choice between expanding the manure pile or th water storage availability. There is more and a good argument can be made for increasing water storage. But if to you.

One-Two, there are times when one can farm on BAHA during events and even during a BAHA event. The drops will actually help as they will be converted into TEP.

You will find that one should level BAHA up (in order to get bananas). There are several ways.

(And why must you convince others that I am making trouble ? Your pooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor chickadee )

The items on your list are good. Part of testing included their use.
Great! Your main farm or other farms may send artisan products to help.
The participant farm may use them but cannot produce any or purchase any in the market (the farm will never see them until it gets the boot out of the Event).

So you will level up BAHA.
Why the rush to do so? (I like the idea but still I wonder why the rush to do so?)
Leveling up BAHA will not hurt a farm. Doing so may rovide confusion. Doing so may even help. Each participant as a choice.

Regardless of what one chooses to do:

One must still find the stars to go up the tree of wisdom. And 300 to go from one rung on the tree to living legend. 300



You know something about the game elRE.

Achievement: One of my farms in sglick's nest received a cress refinement yesterday.

(I never grew any cress. Why? One-Two's ep! ) That farm purchases the 100 seeds each day. Each day the farm sends sglick luv points AND bought the 100 seeds daily for nine days. (No big revenue to spend on cress in the market and I felt waaaaay to ep expensive to grow.) Now the farm can purchase the cress and sell it. The profit rate is great.

A chicken is 7.5 ep I think and I can sell the chicken and the poo and rise revenue so that the farm can purchase ......

The Event still gets me though: There is still only so many chickens the farm can produce.

And one may even wish to look at what one will likely receive for the poo. Does one want 2 ccs for the poo or 2,000 ccs for the poo?

And can the farm stand the drops it my receive? Up to you to decide.

 

Yes, I agree with you about baha. That was what I was planning.

How else am I to have fun.... You should think about that aspect.

 

@12ss12

Sometimes the game-event crops my be produced on BAHA.
The TEP for producing them can be good.
One might wish to pay a little attention to what will happen in the end at conversion though.

The events often give 10 seeds to begin.
If no negative consequences at the end then I forget abut them.
BUT IF THERE IS:
I'll destroy five and the system will not award anymore.
I'm a big ep taker and will often just take the hit for 30 - 40 ep and don't worry.

And there have been times when I was online at the end of the event and the system will not give five more seeds

So I will destroy ALL of the event seeds and take no ep hit whatsoever.

I can only emphasize that one should be cautious and aware whenever deciding to take the ep.

I know all this seems so silly now but from testing I saw how quickly small amount of ep will add up.

Once a participating farm receives the ep ...... there is no way to remove it and

The Boot gets closer to kicking the farm out of the Event.

 

Thats what I am planning to do. I have disposed of 10 event seeds. Now there are 5. Plant them just before event ends and delete the field as soon as the event is over. I have been reading most of your posts about not leveling up and staying in the roost for several years & leveling up only in baha.

I have made 167,515 CCs in that baby farm.

Good Night ! See you all tomorrow evening.

 

can not produce, purchase OR sell I sent myself some Artisan Products with the intent to sell but I can not access them, at least not at level 11, however; I can use them. Very disappointing

 

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighty Night Wonderful ONE-TWO.

Now that One-Two should be safely asleep I can say this:

I'll try and be serious failure!

Anyway,
One-Two has 167,515 ccs.
Very Nice

Most likely, One-Two will become involved in several transactions that will take not only 167,515 ccs
but 10 times 167,515 ccs
and not only once

but several times

and

At Level 40 a participant will be able to see and sell artisan products

AND

Get the Boot right out of this Event.

 

One of the event requirement is ‘All of Meadow cleared’.

To clear The Green Meadow, the participant needs 12 neighbours. Once the neighbourhood be established, I have no other idea how to be pleasant to The farmer_broke Event participants seven days long before the neigbourhood reciprocity convenience test period be over. The participants are free to use or not to use these gifts available in The Barn on the pantry as soon as Farmerama mainland level 002 be profitable after the new Farmerama Tutorial.

 

Yes. There is a cost to that move. I believe that you can bear that cost.

One needs more than just 12 neighbors to clear the meadow.
The participant's farm must also be level 17 to do so within the game itself.

YOU have made the decision to go to level 17 quickly.

I truly want everyone to do well if they participate. From testing: The lower the ep received, the more likely one is to complete the event.

The meadow is quite inexpensive to clear yet it is a requirement. A hurry to get to level 17 makes me wonder how you got there.

I like the fast progress. Go elRE GO!

How one will or will not treat a neighbor can be considered. A participant's farm can be a very good or a very very bad neighbor. Mentor PnP knows of one. Maybe she will tell and why. Mentor sglick knows of one also. May she will appear.

Good! Now let me tease with you a little (to wake you up).

Right after I read how many ccs, I went to a farm participating. I listed and should have received over 400,000 ccs now. The farm listed coconuts, bananas, and mangoes. (Another event going on.) No need for market play. The farm can beat nearly any other offer because it has plenty time to remain in the nest. It can grow the tree fruit again.

You have plenty of options waiting for you.

And especially for you Wonderful One-Two:

A farmer_broke "trouble announcement"

The faqs of The farmer-broke Moonlight mini event will be released soon.

(waiting on the difficulty and stress levels to be return)

 

Haven - Yesterday, I relized rushing to level 14 is not as important as I 1st thought. I need to have 50 Stars to open baha. I have 16 stars now & I am Lvl 11.

My new strategy is to produce the crops to do the FSQ's that give Stars. Once, I reach level 14 or I'have 36 stars. I will start doing the timed FSQ Restraint. It gives 14 stars, but no ep. It also gives some tools, the harvester and about 30 BB.

Haven - I like your logic of getting the Cress refinement before reaching lvl 14. I'm planning on stopping everything on the mainland then.

Thanks Broke & 12 for the discussion about EPs from events. Very useful! How do you get rid of the 5 seed? Do you just plant them in a 2x2?

EDIT: The robot button is driving me crazy on this farm so I think I will have to make my reports on this farm from my main farm where I do not have the robot button. If, you haven't guessed already. This sglick.

 

Hi sglick!
So you have found the trap set for those rushing.

Nice! Why would you rush to do that Restaurant quest? Everything you said is correct regarding the ep and stars and tool and harvester ...

This is all so amusing to me.

By producing mainland crops you are slowly using up the total ep that each of us has available. The use of tools is an aspect which may be discussed when ready. Also, there are quests which you cannot see yet. Of course, up to you what you do.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
Welllllllllllll
Ahhhh

You might consider beginning another farm and simply letting it exist as a back up. Just find a mentor so that nest time begins. Seriously.

One must at least have the seeds planted (I destroy the plots) and visit the farm as close to the end of an event as possible so that the reimbursement system has been halted. This way there will be no ep charge at exchange because there is/are no seeds to charge you for. The event faqs will clearly state the charge.

There is a time when even the use of super grow will not allow an event crop to be completed before the end of an event.

Maybe you should take the charge for 5 - 10 seeds to experience what happens.

Another way of looking at this: a charge of even 30 ep can also cause your farm for loose over 10,000 ccs if one were producing chickens. There is only so much ep a farm can take. ep is just waiting to give a farm the boot out of the event.

Spin that wheel with ep on it if you wish! You can wind up with a charge of 4,000 or more ep really quick. tep is a help.

Play with that fuzzles gift and fuzzles has some ep .................... juuuuuuuuuuuust for you.

And fuzzles is shinning up the boot to boot the farm out of the event too .

Event difficulty: Extremely Difficult

 

O well maybe I can use them on BaHa or I'll have to get the power washer out in a year or so to get the dust and cobwebs off them.
I plan on being here a loooooong time. Glade there is no expiration date on them, I'll have a nice pantry waiting for me.
Right now I have 313,321 CCs and a couple things still on the market. O my goodness have you seen the price of Apples????

Actually, you can pay to open Green Meadow (TwoPonds) For some reason I clicked on level 17 and found out I could open the Meadow, I call it "TwoPonds" (as the map shows) for 100 BB. It so happened that I was offered a great newbie deal of 300BBs for 1.99 couldn't pass that up so I took it. I don't normally spend real cash but 1.99 was a great deal and boy o' boy am I glad I took that bargain it sure did help me out. Asked a few of my other neighbors and myself and the land is all clear

Yea I have been doing farming also, against advice. I just found the Restaurant quest and am working on that now. Could go no farther then stage 7 requiring level 17 crops. to be continued... I also will stop all mainland activity when I reach the "Forest" Magical Glade
To get rid of the event crops I just panted them then deleted the fields right away. I was replenished and had to do it again.
The robot thing drove me nuts too but it finally went away.
Thanks for the encouragement I got my refinement.

 

No.
You misunderstand my position.
I stop now to evaluate the prospective global event circumstances with « elRe »
and take place with « bollOff ».

To do so, I consider the event requirements

cipher: realizable;
letter: if go to lose;
bracket: why the rush to do so?

1. Obtain a mentor;
2. Remain in mentor's nest for one year (573 days now if you want the Stay Record);
3. Baha open;
4. Crop trophy maxed;
5. Animal trophy maxed;
6. Rainforest open;
7. Shipwreck bay unlocked.

a. At least one breeding animal unlocked;
b. Every plot of park filled with decorations only;
c. Magical Stalk open.

(). At least one cress refinement;
(). All of Glade open;
(). Crystal Falls open;
(). All Baha land obtained;
(). Living legend rung unlocked;
(). All of Meadow cleared;
(). All of park open.

Status:
Farmerama mainland level 002 with 460,9 experience points;
waiting to leave mentor number one, time remain 10 hours.

 

(Your English writing is slowly getting better. Good.)
I understand better what you have done now.
Using bollOff is good now. You have looked carefully at the requirements.
Your above list should help other participants.

You can make the park so that it is not bad. Getting the park all open and decorated is a way the Event is taking away your ccs.
You do not have to use decorations which give ep. This is all up to you.
You do not have to open it all at once. Up to you.

Now let us see what you will do.

 

To comment about the benefit of neighbors in addition to needing them to open the Green Meadow....

Neighbors (as well as chicks and mentors) can have a mutually beneficial relationship. One of the event requirements that broke has created is to fill the park with decorations and another is to open Shipwreck bay. Your neighbors can send gifts that will fulfill this requirement. Some provide CC and can be placed in the park and avoid the EP hit from harvesting. Some provide TEP that you can save for Baha. I think broke uses water tanks in his park.

A key component with your neighbors is to communicate your gifting preference. I have one of broke's farms as a chickadee and another farm that is trying to stay in the nest of another mentor. In addition to the daily mentor gift, I send him the Mouth watering melon giver for Baha. It gives great TEP and can be harvested twice daily. In return, he sends me a gift (toolboxes are my preference as he knows I'm trying to expand my storage facilities), as well as the love points as a chickadee. The mentor selection I use my accumulated points the most for is the Harvey Cottentail (Rent a friend/Super friend) which gives a daily gift for 14 days.

On a side note....since all participants in this challenge cannot buy/sell artisan products, when you reach Baha , if you would like a chocolate shake (more TEP on crops and trees), please send an IGM. I have more than I will ever use and would be happy to share. Same with Tiki timers.

Best of luck to you all

 

Yes. Some have sent a farm drop which turn into ep. Most times I say nothing but I do not send a drop back to them but something else. If the drop sending continues I send a brief igm. Sometimes there is a communication problem. I have tried to use my other farms as neighbors so that I will avoid the problems.

PnP is great.
I have a farm which has a good mentor. The mentor sends an igm each and everyday. It is always a few words but I know that the mentor is around. We often communicate in depth now. The mentor is aware that the farm wishes to stay in the nest. I periodically inform the mentor of a little progress. The mentor even asked about stars needed for living legend.

I've been fooling around gather or producing slowly what the farm needs for several quests. The stars are just waiting until the farm can get there. I saved all of the farming equipment in quests until the are would get more out of its use. The equipment is now in the way of getting stars but I don't worry about it and surely do not want to waste it.

The mentor send the daily igm message. The mentor is very nice and appears in this forum. Today the mentor asked again: How many more stars?

I don't know if the mentor is as happy as I am or is noticing how long I'm taking and trying to have no concern.

But when I read that igm somehow I felt I had better get a move on.
I did a quest to get that farm equipment.
Harvested Baha, the rainforest and crystal falls.
Cleared everything and filled with 1x1s
(Fuzzles has a +1 for crops --- 2 hours ... waiting for me)
I put out 1x1's on the main farm and the meadow (never in the glade)
Pulled up that restaurant quest (finally)
Activated a CAC

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, I'm not getting the boot from the mentor

And I'm going to show some progress

I think I had better calm this mentor down

The farm is level 35 and now will actively work the restaurant quest. I was really trying not to use it at all. Up to each participant what they do.

 

The entrance to the Park under consideration of the Deco Queen field expansion rune is an option, if The farmer_broke Event participant sit it out at Farmerama mainland level 014 to handle the Country Coins Top 10 Farmer. This ‘Be Of Stay’ makes one of the seventeen requirements actually unclaimed: Magical Stalk open.

Status:
Mentoring System Day, 001;
23 days remain to solve the mainland level 002 challenge with Mentor number two.

 

I hit level 14 this morning and I have 40 stars. I need 10 more to move over to Baha. To start the real adventure.

Unfortunately, I still have not found the "right" mentor. I'll try again today.

EDIT: GGGrrr! It has been ages since I opened the Tree of Wisdom. GGGGRRRR! I had to waste 20 stars to open a rune that gave me 2k CCs. Big whoop! What a disappointment.

 

Beware those that give CCs also give a small number of EPs.
Herb Patch 4CC + 8EP
Hungry Cow 2CC + 6EP
Flower Wheelbarrow 7CC + 4EP
Small Raspberry Bush 2CC + 4EP
Super Sheep 1CC + 4EP
Lonely Goat 1CC + 2EP
BUT I have a question... All you have to do is fill the Park right? If so, I say just don't harvest.
Seeing that there is really not too much to do on the mainland I have been storing my decorations there waiting to reach level 25 hopefully next year sometime. I have 20 water tanks so far (set out) and a couple of the ones listed above (not set out because if you delete them to move them they will be permanently deleted).

 

Sure, just fill the park. Your farm will be able to open the park and receives one section.
To fill the entire park one must purchase four additional sections (which increase in cost).
One may decorate every space however they choose.
One may use only items which award no ep (or ccs) -- they may be purchased with ccs (many at a discount each day)
One may use limos, swimming pools, the resort, or golf courses too (and they have their cc cost and award ep if harvested)

One may use water tanks and place them there
or
put water tanks closer to their mill and not even visit the park to get water if one is milling power feed continuously
or
One may fall into another trap set and just harvest away Up to you.

You seem to see this clearly.

Some must just harvest everything ..... park included ..... They are their own danger.

Maybe decorations which award ep are a temptation ..... maybe not

(When one realizes that the "boot out of the event" is on the way, he/she will think of all the foolish actions they have taken.)

And there is definitely the opportunity to waste more stars while wandering up the tree.

And the constant temptation to farm the mainland remains

Ten more stars!

The opportunity to make a foolish move in order to get a star will remain for a long long time.
Is a star worth really helping one to get the "boot" out of the event?"

----edit----
The participant farm, that completed all 14 steps of the restaurant quest today, received 29 watering cans (drops). At conversion, the ep cost will be 609 ep. That is what I get for knowingly farming during an event area awarding drops.

The farm is level 35 and needs about 16,000 more ep to level up to level 36.

(Hopefully the mentor will have a little peace of mind with the star increase. I still wish I had put that quest off for now. But up to me! I cannot return the stars for a refund.)

The farm name is rat_tail under ortrud_oc (a good mentor).
