Snow Christmas Tree Collections Mission
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Collect Christmas Presents from all kinds of crops, trees, animals and machines!
This is one of those Collections Missions where all Crops, Trees and Machines randomly can be harvested for the necessary item, a Christmas Present in this case.
You must redeem one of each of the four ordinary prizes to unlock the final prize. Cost is as follows:
Christmas Wreath
1 Christmas Present
This is one of two items used to improve your 'luck' and upgrade the Tree
Singing Elves
240 Christmas Presents or 12 RC
There is only one of these.
Gingerbread Man
100 Christmas Presents or 6 RC
There are five of these
Super Fertiliser
1 Christmas Gift or 1 RC for the first one. Price will increase incrementally. 2nd is 2 Christmas Presents, then 4, then 8, then 16, then 32 and so on...
The final Prize is the Santa's Legs, redeemed for 350 Christmas Presents
To upgrade the Tree, Request Christmas Baubles from Neighbours and redeem Christmas Wreathes. The first upgrade requires 2 Christmas Wreathes and 20 Christmas Baubles.
Strategies for Snow Tree Completion and Collections
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Collection of Christmas Presents is slower than in previous Quests of this sort. There are TWO significant reasons why you need to upgrade your Snow Tree to the final Level 5 as quickly as possible. One is the fact that you will receive double the Christmas Presents when any Crop, Tree or Machine produces them randomly. The other is the ability to store the Christmas Tree when the Quest is completed and the holiday season has ended. Many players sell these Collection Buildings but others like me keep them for decorating their farms at a later date.
In tandem with this is the traditional Quest sequence:

Strategies for Mission
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Collections Mission is incorporated into the traditional Quest sequence. It is at a very early stage, in Farm Alone III, that you are required to place the Singing Elves on your Farm. To redeem them, you either need 240 Christmas Presents or 12 RC. In the very next task sequence, you need to place two Gingerbread Men, either redeemed for a total of 175 Christmas Presents or for a total of 12 RC.
As always, it is Power that is in short supply for the traditional Quest sequence. You can find Power randomly in Gift Bags and over the course of time, the 30 default Power in your Kitchen will be replenished naturally.
The time limit for the Mission is longer than the usual 11 Days. You have a total of 14 days to complete the traditional Farm Alone Quest sequence. If you are trying to complete the Cooking Stand tasks as well, however, it may be a good idea to focus on the Farm Alone Quest to complete it in the next three days before the fourth round of Dishes is unlocked at the Cooking Stand.
The Island is another complication at this point in time. With a limited number of Neighbours in Seaside, the need to request various Materials for buildings for the Island cuts into the Request totals for the Christmas Baubles. I intend to ignore the Island now basically until the Christmas Mission on the original Seaside Farm is completed.
Christmas Sale Items
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
There are three current Sale Offers, each of which gives different specific Items. With each sale purchase, however, you obtain a special bag that contains random rewards. If you accept three Sale Offer purchases, you definitely should receive 1 Sled in one of the Bags.
Sled: Cleanable Decoration that yields a Gold Gift Box
N.B. The best Gift Boxes are Blue, followed by Purple, then Gold and finally White. There are others that are Bags and some Decorations give other Items such as Chocolate or merely Coins. Most of the Cleanable Decorations that can be purchased for Coins in the Market yield only Coins when cleaned by a Neighbour.
Note that the Santa's Legs is really a Collectible that produces Mistletoe every few hours.
