Time-Restricted Aurora Adventure and Troll Collections Missions

A new time-restricted Mission has been released in Family Farm Seaside.  Today as well, there are some new sale packages including two that contain cleanable Decorations.  Note that here, as in everything else, the Mission is restricted to a single Farm.  In this case, it is the original Seaside Farm and you will not use the Island or its products in any way in the course of this Mission.

The time-restricted Mission is two-fold.  There is both a Collections Mission and a Quest sequence.

There are two different types of Collections Mission.  In one, you must place a special time-limited Building, collect items and then redeem them for four different prizes.  The final Prize can be redeemed only after you redeem one of each of the lesser prizes, then collect a specific number of items for the final Reward.  The other type of Collections Mission is this one, wherein you collect four different colours of a specific item from four specific Crops, Trees and Machines.  There are usually two Rewards when you have collected the total required of each colour of item.  One usually is a Tree or Bush and the other is a Decoration. 

Here are the requirements for this Collections Mission:

Trolls Collection Mission
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

70 Yellow Trolls from Corn
50 Red Trolls from Cherry Juice
30 Orange Trolls from Orange Jam
10 Green Trolls from Jackfruit Tree

Rewards:  Norwegian House and Blackcurrant Bush
N.B.  Blackcurrant Bush can be purchased in Market for 7 RC as well

The second aspect of this time-restricted Mission is a traditional Quest sequence called 'Aurora Adventure'.  Here are the tasks for this sequence:

Aurora Adventure I
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Felicia:  I'm so excited!  Dad invited me and Darryl to go to Norway with him.  He wants to show us some of the places he knows.  And guess what... not it's the perfect time to see the aurora there!  Let's finish our tasks before we leave.


Harvest 4 Oranges
  Skipf or 4 RC

Harvest 40 Corn
  Skip for 20 RC

Produce 40 Bundles of Angora Hair
  Skip for 20 RC

Felicia:  Awesome!  Now we can pack our things and get ready to go!

Reward: 1000 Coins, 160 XP

Aurora Adventure II
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Felicia:  We have finally arrived in Oslo!  I want to see the aurora now, but it's still a long way away.  Darryl wants to start checking out the town now, but le'ts get some food first.  My stomach is rumbling after that long flight!

Prepare 40 Loaves of Oat Bread
  Skip for 20 RC

Prepare 8 Bowls of Sunrise Porridge
  Skip for 8 RC

Prepare 6 mugs of Dark Beer
  Skip for 6 RC

Felicia:  The food was delicious, but I definitely wasn't prepared for the cold weather here!

Reward: 1000 Coins, 160 XP

Aurora Adventure III
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Felicia:  We should get going soon.  It's a long way to North Cape and we only have a few days to reach it!  But wait!  Look, there's a souvenir shop, let's take a look!  Awww, these little Troll souvenirs look so cute!  Let's buy some!

Sell products worth (a total of) 20,000 Coins from your Seaside Barn
  Skip for 10 RC

N.B.  Be careful what you sell!  Study the quest sequence to see what you will need to keep in your Barn for the tasks!

Craft 10 Peacock Feather Earrings in the Beauty Shop
  Skip for 10 RC

 N.B.   Each pair of Earrings requires 1 Pearl, 2 Peacock Feathers and 1 pair of Earring Hooks.  You can request Earring Hooks from Neighbours.   Each pair of Paacock Feather Earrings takes about 12 miinutes to complete.  Note that if you do not have 10 Pearls in stock and do not wish to go through the process of fishing and processing any Scallops you may catch, skipping this task costs the same amount of RC as you would spend in paying 1 RC for each Pearl.  You will gain XP for each pair of Earrings crafted as well as being able to sell the Earrings later for 301 Coins each.  The disadvantage is the time required to produce 10 of them, depending on how many slots you have in your Beauty Shop.

Prepare 10 cups of Maple Milk Tea
  Skip for 10 RC

N.B.  Ingredients for Maple Milk Tea are Milk x 2, Maple Syrup

Felicia:  i think Grandma will love these Trolls, but enough time hanging around here.  Let's get going!

Reward: 1000 Coins, 170 XP

Aurora Adventure IV
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Felicia:  What town is this?  The sign says Bergen.  Oh, it's so beautiful, especially these old buildings along the coast.  I have never seen anything like this before.  Oh, what's that smell?  It smells like some kind of fish!

Fish 12 Times with the Bone FishHook
  Skip for 12 RC

Prepare 6 Baked Tilapia
  Skip for 6 RC

N.B.  Baked Tilapia ingredients are 1 Tilapia (unprocessed) and Wheat Flour x 3

Prepare 6 Lemon Fish
  Skip for 10 RC

N.B.  Lemon Fish ingredients are: 1 Butterfish and 1 Lemon

Note that Fishing is a timed activity.  You cannot fish 12 times in one fishing trip unless you are willing to pay RC for extra attempts.  It is a waiting game, like the business with your Power.  Fishing tries like Power are replenished over the course of time.  If, therefore, you have not completed the Collections Mission yet, focus on that rather than speeding these tasks by using RC.

Felicia:  Who would have thought that fermented fish could taste so good?

Reward: 1000 Coins, 170 XP

Aurora Adventure V
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Felicia:  I have never tasted anything like that before.  Now I know what to make when I go back to Grandma's!  But we can't be staying around here too long.  I want to see the aurora!  We have to get going!  Let's make some food to take with us!

Strategies for Mission
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

For those of us who unlocked and played the Island, matters may be a little more complicated than for Farmers who did not opt to do so.  First of all, due to the incredible expense of the Island, many farmers sold much of their Barn Stock and it is possible that they may have to restock ingredients before they can complete the traditional Quest sequence in Aurora Adventure.

One item needed in particular was required in vast quantities on the Island.  This item is the Peacock Feather.  To obtain Peacock Feathers, you must feed a Peacock Rice.  The Peacock Feather is used to make Peacock Hats on the Island.  Beyond this, you will need Turkey to complete this Quest sequence.  Turkeys are fed Rice to produce the Turkey meat needed in the Quest.  You therefore should make certain that you have a fair quantity of Rice on hand if you do not have sufficient stocks of Peacock Feathers and Turkey in your Seaside Barn.

Another item that may have been depleted due to Island Quests and Helicopter Orders is the Pearl.  Pearls are a random bonus when you process a Scallop in your Seafood House.  Make certain that you have 12 Pearls on hand for use in the Beauty Shop to complete two of the tasks in the traditional sequence.   You will need Pearls to make Pearl Necklaces and Peacock Feather Earrings.  The actual Scallops are needed as well to make 6 Surf n Turf.  Each Surf n Turf requires 2 Turkey meat and 3 Dried Scallops.  You will need more Turkey for the new Kitchen recipe, Blackcurrant Turkey.  Each Blackcurrant Turkey requires 3 Turkey meat, and you need to produce a total of 8 of these.  You therefore will need 12 Turkey for the Surf n Turf and 24 Turkey for the Blackcurrant Turkey, a total of 36 Turkey.

The Beauty Shop is featured increasingly in the time-restricted Quests as well as being needed on the Island in conjunction with the Workshop.  As two items can be obtained only through request, it may be a good idea to request Earring Hooks and Glass periodically from Neighbours.  If you do not have the beautiful Water Fountain that produces Distilled Water every few hours, you need to request that from Neighbours as well from time to time.

Thanks to the active Volcano on the Island that produces four to six Power every few hours , many Farmers now are in a better position to complete time-restricted Quests.  For those who have not unlocked the Volcano yet, the best option is to clean as many Neighbour Decorations as possible to obtain the Gift Bags that randomly contain Power as well as OP and Coins.

A number of Trees are needed for this Mission.  Every Player should have a fair number of Orange Trees and Cherry Trees, but some may not own the Jackfruit Tree.  You will need it for the Island Missions as well as this time-restricted Mission so if you did not obtain it as a Quest Reward in the past, you really ought to invest in one.  

Wheat Flour can be requested as a Free Gift but Wheat, used to feed any sort of Sheep to produce Wool cannot be requested.  You therefore need to have sufficient Wheat on hand for the Quest sequence.  10 Wool are needed for the Red Cords that are an ingredient in the Pearl Necklaces.  50 more Wool are required as a Quest task.
