Nagrom, plant your longest crop overnight. That will help you in getting drops. You'll need 125 drops for the tasks and you've got 2 and half day left. It is possible

 

Thank you Arielh for putting the list together! I am just coming to the farm and getting started, but I think this event is doable!! Good luck all!

 

this is a good learning experience, so many mistakes already. i could never learn anything from reading it, only from my mistakes. full field of 1x1 and i get 8 drops? mind you only 140 were gentiana, the rest was corn. why did i sell all the cheap manure past few days? could have listed it high and been using it now.

 

Actually the 8 drops is not bad for those type of crops even for 1x1 field. That's my experience anyway.

I just discovered, because I finally took the time to read the FAQ, that I can buy as much manure as I want. Just means I won't get any when I harvest my stables. I felt like a complete buffoon over that one as manure was selling between 15 and 20CC's on my market just two days ago. I so would have stocked up for all these events.

 

don't worry nagrom...I got all excited and milled all my choco milk drops into ice cream too!....more drops will come! Advice from previous posters is very good!
All the beautiful flowers on my fields inspired me to go plant some in my real garden....just got in from watering them in and fertilizing(not with poo though LOL).

 

what i normally do for a event like this is plant my longest growing crop before the event starts so its ready to harvest at the start of the event. grow all of everything required .... collect all the drops from the required flowers ..... THEN plant my longest crops to collect the remaining required drops ... after that i mill what's needed .... then go through and do all the quest in one hit Already have 188 of the swiss chocolate .... not bad seeings I've only done two plantings i think this one will go smooth

 

Making good progress so far. I've just finished the silvers. First time this has happened on day 1!! Woohoo!!!
Tomorrow I'll mill the last 10 ice creams and then work back down the levels.

 

with LL at 24% i now have 137 drops with 3 batches left to harvest before bedtime. should have around 2400 edelweiss and 1600 gentiana. looks like it will be tight to get all the flowers. nothing else available to boost harvest besides cac?

 

Suzie's super grow ...... Is about all i know of .... that's what i used till i get enough to fill a feild with one round of plants

I'm not panicked at all about this i figure if I've done some of the other events that last 7 days in only a day and a half ... with the requirements of those past this shouldn't be to bad ....

 

Thank you!! I actually did that last night and started off really well...with the exception of milling my chocolate!!
I am getting back on track slowly

 

feelfree, If you are using 1x1's you can also use Pumpkin Jam which gives an extra crop per square. Since the Gentiana is a 4 hr crop, eating it before you harvest will give you an extra one per plot, then if you replant and water them, it takes the time down to 3hr 11 mins so you will get another harvest with extras in it. Or if you are ready to harvest the Edelweiss, eat a Pumpkin Jam, harvest (get an extra crop of those for every 1x1) then plant and water the Gentiana (3hr 11 min) and you will have gotten extra of each plant. Hope this helps

 

Did anyone calculate the numbers for just the cloud row stuff?

By the time I got home and logged into the farm I only had 56/72h left for event. I started the seeds on separate fields. Got busy, came back and harvested all and put out 2x2s on two fields and nuked them. Fell asleep. Woke up, logged in, but only the short crops were ready. Put out 1x1s on two fields and filled them. Back to bed. Woke up at 5a. Replanted the two fields of 1x1s with the 7h crop. Changed out the one field of 2x2s with CFs. Almost put 2x2s back out. LOL Filled the CFs with the 4h crop w/ water. It's after 6a and I need to run. It looks like I might only get 4 more harvests before the end of the event, 2 days and 2 nights. Since I live on the wrong side of planet, wrong time zone. And don't want to get up in the middle of the night anymore. I need my beauty sleep.

Currently my numbers...
20 edelweiss
1400 gentiana
178 drops
Not looking too great. lol 46h remaing...

Why did spell check disappear?

 

Ariehl--- Unless I am blind (possible.. not enough coffee yet) I noticed the EP givers and cloud row are not in this list.


THANK YOU for putting it up!!! These summaries are always very helpful!

Here they are:
4200 Edelweis
27 ice cream
35 chocolate
4350 Gent.
10 bees
10 cows
70 plums
60 pigs
50 goats


ALSO, to just get 2 wonder stables (but not above row), you need:
550 Eidelwies
400 Gent.
55 chocolate
10 bees
40 cows

to get 3 more (a total of 5) you need:


450 eidelwies (total of 1000)
300 Gent (total of 600)
20 chocolate (total of 40)
30 cows (60 cows)

 

woody the EP givers are on the list, I wrote their names.
But you were right about the cloud row

 

with 2nd batch harvested today i have finished edelweiss, a little extra, will need to start doing some math in future events. 4 fields left to harvest for gentiana to complete that flower. tonight will return to normal crops and stables. MAYBE since i will have cac till noon tomorrow i should take advantage and keep all fields filled with crops, yes. hopefully i will have the last of the drops from tomorrow mornings harvest to complete this event.

will have to breakdown the sequence of events and see if i could have used pumpkin jam instead of the expensive cac. but i guess it doesnt really matter with all the extra crops i still get to grow with left over time.
yesterday was worried it would take all weekend to finish.

 

Edelweiss, edelweiss, every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright! you look happy to meet me!
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow; bloom and grow forever....
Edelweiss, edelweiss, bless my homeland forever!

LOL... my goof, I meant just cloud row. At any rate, DEFINITELY appreciate these lists!

 

Just set the Mill to mill the last one of ice cream.(after finished the PF in 6 hr later)
I finished LV 6, get the cloud row , I decided to get the mystery seedling first.
also, mill all the ice-cream. Drops no problem , nearly got enough drop (only need 10 more)
2nd target is Get the wonder stable.Then do all remain parts.
Event pass 1/2, everything look got postive, hope no accident & I could finished it.

 

I've got my Wonder stables, Mystery trees and the cloud row. (Not to mention that sticker.) Next target is the two deco items for the cloud row. Cuckoo pens and harvester may be collected if I need the harvester or if I complete everything else early.

 

Only one more harvest to go and i'll finish out the event ..... i'll do it with over 24 hours to spare not to shabby ..... I'm well happy ... it's so nice when you move from events being a struggle freaking out if you can finish or not .... to just being able to relax and have a game plan and have in your mind just what you can produce in a given amount of time ....
