The Great Chase II

FAQ
SOS

Event runs for 6 days, mainland only
Event drop from all mainland items and breeding
Mill item needed to play mini game
Mini game = find hidden/missing items. 3 options.

Play 70 mini games to get givers + CR
3 mini games for free at the start

67 mini games = 34505 event crop + 1809 event drop
Per day = 5751 event crop + 302 event drop

Mini game rewards prizes and game points for more prizes.
Option to get help with finishing mini game: magnifying glass. Drop item (pens, workshops) - no must.
Option to play more games and gain more games points for more rewards.

Event crop grow times:
5:00 hrs
4:00 hrs with water applied
3:36 hrs with water and manure applied

Rough calculation using every available plot:
3 Main fields with CAC applied = 588 1x1 plots = 1764 event crops per harvest (+ replant) = 3.3 harvests per day.
Assuming a few plots will be occupied by buildings, I think 4 harvests a day should do the trick.

Option to buy an expensive basket with giver item to cut a maximum of 15 mill requirements in half.

My strategy:
- will not spend money to speed up this (or any other) event - no need to! -
- prepare with long timed items for best initial drop harvest
- nuke (use SG/SSG) event crop after start till about 600 event crops
- convert Baha to Parrot Paradise Islands - grab the manure -
- aim for 4 harvests per day, keep menageries and manufactories going
- if drops are poor, after 3 or 4 days I'll use long timed items overnight
- spin the farmwheel with free gained tickets and hope for any bonusses

Good luck, farm well, stay happy, keep smiling!

 

Thanks habalala for starting the thread! I for one think the amount of crops needed just to do the 70 mini games is getting
WAY out of hand! I will NOT be doing this event! Good luck to all and I hope you reach your goals!

 

Thank You habalala For The Above ^ Numbers And Info.

I agree with you totally about the amount of Crops needed or maybe it's the high number of Mini-Games?,It is possible to complete I'm sure you'd agree?,But more possible if you're willing to spend £'s or $'s (whatever the nations currency) or if your're an insomniac and have all the that time!

 

I will be skipping this event as well. I will get penalized if I crash during the mini-game. I did that last event, so I am doing the old skipperoo. Any drop is good for me, conversion is always good.

 

Thanks Habalala for crunching numbers.

As usual I will start and see how far I get, I enjoy this mini game. But as is the way now very much doubt getting close to competing. No basket buying for me, never have and never will. I see that is what BP is gradually adding to game pay to play

See new rooms have been added so will take a few turns to note where items are.

The giver has a 10 hour cooldown time so if you are prepared to harvest every 10 hours that is something in region of 14 'reductions' which is only 14 milled items. Is it worth spending your money????

Good luck to everyone

 

Lol I AM an insomniac, but I still am not doing it!

 

ooh...two major events at the same time and I am so busy in RL.

I think I will do what I can on both farms, both events...just be happy to get a few goodies.

 

very difficult, but if you finish you will gain nearly 100 BBs.

 

The only option to do ALL in this event is by harvesting 3 main fields every 4hrs from the start, using water, CAC and SSG on every single plot. Dunno but even without mentioning the cost for gaining all drops I'm pretty sure to gain/buy that many SSG will cost way more as 100 BBs.

145 games = 74675 event crop + 3915 event drop
233 games* needed for point rewards = 119995 event crop + 6291 event drop
* indication, might be less or more, depends on your skills

To me it's simple: realisticly this event can't and isn't ment to be finished in full for any player not wanting to spend 100s of bucks.

 

Not doing this event too much time needed. Good luck to those who are doing it .

 

Before the game even started I know that I cannot finish it. bummer!!! I pass.( I have to work for a living! there is no chance for us.)

 

I honestly don't know how people who have to work can play this game now and complete events.

 

A tad bit busy, as in addition to work, I also have two exams coming up in May self-inflicted pain. So unless there's some desirable yummies in it (not counting BB) I'm skipping this. A bit shame, cos I really loved the finding as many items as possible game. Then again, silly amounts required.

Thank you Habalala for starting the thread, great summary of the event

Happy farming and good luck no matter what.

 

233 games? That is an average of 65 points per game. We get more than that depending on how fast you find all the items.

That's not to say this isn't a tough challenge but we can earn more points per game.

I love this game mechanism but feel a bit overwhelmed with another event with so many crops to grow. But I'm in for as much as I can do.

 

OK, Last time add 3 scenes to become 6 scenes
So, this time also 6 scenes but remove old one and add 2 new
That means, if I do the event, my poor brain need to find those new items again...
Fine... Just skip this event.

Also, To fight against BP overlapping events..
I will start to skip one or both event whenever BP give us overlap events.

Now, I will think :
should I do Monster event or skip this one too and just grow MM crops & stables.
No stress, no pressure, relax farming.

 

Thanks Habalala for your hard work with those numbers.

I will do both of the events but in a real chilled out way ... even putting out other crops overnight on main farm fields to help some FSQs. I cannot get anywhere near finishing, even if I can make it to the CR. So nice and easy does it is my strategy. No stress!

I will be concentrating more on the MM event so if any of my dear neighbours want to send me anything, scary drops will be gratefully received! I will also send neighbours the MM drop that seems to be less prolific but if you want anything in particular, send me an IGM and I will try to remember.
Nothing grabs me as being worth the effort so no effort will I give!

 

The Great Chase Magic Stalk Row II is available at 28 games played. If I play this event I am going to stop after 28 games, making this my goal for the event.

 

Sorry Lea2191 but the CR is available at level 28 (1st column), which is 70 games played (2nd column).

 

Thank You Habalala, and everyone for the great strategies. I'm in...sort of, for a few only, because I love to play this game, but it will not be possible to get very far with my schedule. Good Luck everyone with whatever you do.

 

Thanks habalala for both this thread and the other one too. Just following your strategies. I can understand without going through the FAQs. I will just try for the cloud rows and will not exert myself too much. Whatever comes is fine.

I have got used to the game developers high demands and I am not bowing to them. Let them get used to my lethargic mode of playing.
