The Lighthouse Beckons Strategies

I am not going to be participating in this event on this farm or illy1996 *puts smelling salts under Illy's nose*.

Due to family commitments which will last for the entire time of the event, it will be impossible to farm ...

This means that I probably won't send any gifts for a few days - please do not send me any event drop items, save them for someone who will use them!

 

Well I'm ready for this one! Have everything except the event crops in the barn already so am just waiting for the start. Looks like fun!

 

Thanks for info I know 1 x 1 with CAC is best but unless I have harvester it is hard to do all that clicking. One Farm doesn't have it and no coupons to use. Guess will see how far I get. Thanks again!!!

 

No Baha, ok, and it starts at 5pm cest time hate military, just grow flowers in all plots.
I think I got it.

 

And at level 2 the best EP crop is 2.5 per 2x2. So at 36 and 48 per 2x2, growing event flowers even just for the EP would level them up substantially. And they can donate to first level of the quest or use them for extra EP/CC when traded in. (and possibly to the trophy quest if there is a exchange component)

 

Try finishing Farmers Society Quest for the products, some of them offer Farming machinery free for sometime. Donate the products only when you want to harvest or sow, else there might be some loss of hours.

 

With CAC you will get 6 crops per large plot if you divide your large plot in to small plots you will get 16 crops, no contest.

 

It's 35 not 36... because if you look at the last level the silver step gives 2 stars, the gold step gives 3 stars and the diamond step gives none...
so for the last level you get 5 stars instead of 6 stars.

Added: I've checked the faq in the other forums and it's the same thing...

 

Chocolate? Ice cream? I'm all in.
Got 5 days off from school starting yesterday so at least I can enjoy collecting those chocolates and then milling those Swiss Ice Cream. Yum!

My farm is ready for the event. I put production pens everywhere since yesterday so they are all ready to harvest since morning.
Its hard just to see them without harvesting while waiting for the event to get starts. I have trees on magical glade. Last time I got 181 drops for initial harvest. Hopefully this time I will get at least the same amount of drops.

Good Luck everyone!

 

Getting All The Swiss Chocolate Should not be an Issues since it is asking a lesser Amount of Them, This has been lowest Amount of Drops. Plus The Event Plant Eldweiss and Gentina as we only Need 5500 each of them as This Can be Done Before the Moonlight Mania Event Starts it can be done within 72 Hours. As We will not be Needing to Use The Island as The Island Crops Gives More EP than these Event Crops Anyway

Even if you just Use Pumpkin Jam using 1x1 you can do this Event. But Most of Us will be doing Both This Event and Moonlight Mania Event so I will be using CAC and Keep it running for about 5 days running i think will have to eat 6 CAC used with PPP It Will be an Easier Event Good Luck

 

I forgot to put on howie donut when I harvest main field, Luckly to remember & put
back on other fields. My inital drop is 93.
I don't know if it should be good or not. I had plant 3 field of Carnation . But only MF full ,
other two field half fill, mix with animal pens & workshop as I don't want to tear my farm for
this 3 day event. Let see tomorrow how much drops I got!!

 

60 drops this morning, i think i should have torn everything down last night and planted longest crop?
for cac and ppp, activate these before i harvest or before i plant? cac first then ppp?
weekend will tough to dedicate time for this event, hopefully i can get the cloud row.

 

CAC before harvest. PPP should be after all buffs are active that you want to extend.

 

185 drops (including 3 drops from Magic trees) from the first harvest, seems good

 

Anyone else have the song from the 'Sound of Music' stuck in their head

Edelweiss....
Edelweiss....
Every morning you greet me

 

Yes, especially since the 50th anniversary of The Sound of Music just occured! I'm a nut for that movie/story!!!

 

Yes, me too, with the Sound of Music in my head...it could be worse. much much worse.

I got a good jump on drops first thing this morning and have my first planting for the event in the ground now. I was really happy with the advance posting of the event FAQ because it allowed me to 'grow' all the animals necessary prior to the start of the event.

I'm going to hold off on milling the ice cream until I have excess drop numbers - looks like the first 3 levels just take the drops straight and they need 120 drops total to complete through diamond. So after I get those fulfilled, I'll start churning out ice cream.

 

Except the Sound of Music was set/happened in Austria.
Edelweiss is associated with the Alps Mountain range that is part of several European countries.
Mountain troops of those countries also have adopted the Edelweiss as part of their uniforms.

 

Okay..okay...yes, The Sound of Music was set in Austria! Thanks Banjo!
I'm totally in love with the Gentiana plant!!!! What a gorgeous shade of blue!!! I wish we could keep them!!!

 

I was so excited for this event. I actually prepared for this one! Unfortunately, I didnt read the challenge right and milled all my chocolate drops into ice cream Now I cannot finish any of the challenges until I get more drops and I am not getting ANY.....
Lesson learned.....read carefully!!
