Journey of Dreams Quest and Paper Airplanes Collections Mission

The new time-restricted Mission is 'Journey of Dreams' and is accompanied by a Collections Mission that gives yet another Collectable as a Reward.  This one is a Bean Sprout Pot and you must complete the Collections Mission to receive it.  You will not find it in the Market while the Mission is active.

The traditional Quest gives special Rewards in the form of Festival Mystrons Bags throughout the sequence.  The bags in the first half are slightly different from those given in the second half.  In the first half of the sequence,  each contains 20 Festival Mystrons, 200 Coins and 5 OP.  In the second half of the sequence, each contains 25 Festival Mystrons, 300 Coins and 5 OP.

Strategies for Mission
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Since I first began to play this game, the nature of gameplay has changed radically and many of those changes are very recent.  For example, there is the new Research Laboratory that offers, among other things, the Gold Finger Active Tech.  Depending on your Level with Gold Finger, you can collect three items at a time from various Animals and Machines without using any OP.  What you do need, however, is Farmium and that is obtained by opening the three Treasure Chests that are given in the Daily Quest Path.

A very welcome new option is the Daily Special Deal that offers 100 OP and 5 Power for 5000 Coins each.  For 1 RC each, you can obtain another 100 OP and/or another 5 Power.

As the Reward for the Collections Mission is a Collectable, you will not be able to opt out of the Mission by purchasing the item in the Market.  Collectable Rewards never are offered in the Market while a time-restricted Mission is 'live'.  You therefore have to complete the Collections Mission if you want the Bean Sprout Pot on your Farm.  In this particular case, you will need it fairly early in the course of the traditional 'Journey of Dreams' Quest.  You need to place it as a task for 'Journey of Dreams 6'.

Unfortunately for new or lower level players, you will require a variety of premium items in order to be able to complete both the Collections Mission and the traditional Quest sequence.  The Tree required for the Collections Mission is the Birch Tree, found in the Market for 7 RC.  A Premium Tree required to complete the traditional 'Journey of Dreams' sequence is the Quince Tree, which can be purchased for 7 RC as well.

Other methods of obtaining premium Trees for a lower price are to find them in the Green Mystrons Shop randomly or in a Buddy's Share Box.  You have to be at least at Level 2 with a Buddy to access his/her Share Box.

Essentially, by the time a Quest like this is released, it usually is too late to hang about waiting to find a much-needed premium Tree in the Green Mystrons Shop or a Share Box or on your own Lucky Wheel.  The discount for purchasing such a Tree from the Wheel or Share Box is only 1 RC in any case.  I would advise farmers to keep a watch on the Green Mystrons Shop for premium Trees they do not have, and never to purchase Coin items from that shop.  In the meantime, if you do not have these trees and wish to complete the Mission, it is best to 'bite the bullet' and purchase them.  Ultimately, you will need ALL Trees for Seaside gameplay.  The developers often will include a task that requires a Tree for which few Recipes exist simply to encourage the purchase of THAT Tree.

Sometimes, the premium Tree needed for the traditional Quest sequence is not required in the first half of the sequence, but that is not the case here.  Whether or not you have access to the Island needed for the second half or at the level required to unlock the second half, if you wish to finish the first half of the sequence to obtain the Seaside Decoration, you need the Quince Tree.

Another premium item needed only for the second part of the Quest sequence is the Rhubarb Shrub, found in the Collectables section of the Market for 5 RC.  If you intend to buy it, do so at once as you cannot speed the collection of items from 'Collectables' the way you can with Trees.

Premium Machine

If you have access to the Island and are at a high enough level to move forward into the second half of the quest, you will find that the last task requires a premium machine in the form of the Popcorn Machine.  It costs 10 RC but can be found randomly in the Green Mystron Shop as well.

Temporary Collectables
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

These can be a nuisance even for a veteran player as they have an existence on your farm of only 3 days.  You therefore have to remember to purchase them again periodically when your stocks are low.  You will need Soy Sauce for one of the Dishes in this Mission.  Purchase some Soy Sauce Barrels as soon as possible if you are a new player or lack sufficient stock.  You can purchase a total of 4 Soy Sauce Barrels but they will expire on the 3rd day.

Neighbour Requests
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Be aware that there are TWO separate Neighbour Requests for 20 items each in the first half of the Quest sequence.  I tend to be impatient and ask too many of my Neighbours for the items I need because I need to push on for the sake of the guide.  If you do not have 310 active Neighbours, it may be best to ask fewer Neighbours in each case and wait for the response if necessary.  There are no further Neighbour Requests, however, in the second half of the Quest sequence.

Journey of Dreams 2

Journey of Dreams 5
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Journey of Dreams 7
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dad:  I really loved the fresh smell of the sea air and the cool sea breeze.  That's why I'm still living by the Seaside.  When out at sea catching fish, that gave me a great, unique sense of accomplishment and freedom.

Use Squid Hook to fish 8 times
  Skip for 8 RC

The default number of casts that you have is 7... to ask you to fish 8 times is an attempt really to persuade the impatient farmer to spend RC on more casts... so I will share a little trick with you.  MISS the first cast and it will count for the task but not take away from your total of 7 casts.

Produce 3 Smoked Yellow Croaker
  Skip for 6 RC

Prepare 3 Seafood Salads
  Skip for 6 RC
  Each requires 1 Mayonnaise and 1 Wakame Salad
  Each Wakame Salad requires 1 Dried Wakame and 1 Cooked Sea Lettuce

Journey of Dreams 8
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dad:  DoReMiFaSoLaTiDo!  Did you notice that I'm always farming to a rhythm?  In fact, one of my old dreams was to be a singer.  Imagine that feeling when you're up on stage and every one roars with applause!

Ask for 20 Microphones from Neighbours
  Skip for 20 RC

Harvest 8 Quinces
  Skip for 8 RC

Dad:  It was fun but I couldn't become a singer just with interest alone.  So, anyway, I gave up my dreams of singing, too...

N.B.  The Tree Guitar has a Charm Value of 4 and gives a Purple Gift Box when cleaned.

The second half of any time-restricted Quest usually requires access to the Island and this one is no exception.  There are Level requirements as well for each quarter section of the Quest sequence.  In other words, there are separate Level requirements to unlock Part 5, Part 9 and Part 13 of the Quest.  Usually, you have to be at Level 26 now to progress beyond Part 8 (the end of the first half).

Journey of Dreams 9
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dad:  Wait, I almost forgot to check the island farm orders.  I have to deliver some goods from the main farm to the island farm!  Could you help me out?  Then I'll continue my story...

Harvest 50 Strawberries
  Skip for 12 RC

Transport 50 Red Roses to the Island Farm
  Skip for 12 RC
  This is an Island Task.  Divide the Roses between Zeppelins to speed the transport if you can.

Journey of Dreams 10
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dad:  Right!  I remember that I wanted to become a pilot.  I used to feel awed and amazed from staring at the sky above the clouds, and planes give you that ability to move through the air so quickly.  What a great job to have, eh?

Complete 3 Helicopter Orders
  Skip for 3 RC
  This is an Island Task.

Produce 50 Red Rose Essential Oil
  Skip for 12 RC

  I believe Red Rose Essential Oil requires Mastery Level 1 for the Essential Oil Machine.    The Essential Oil Machine is interesting in that it allows a  large number of items to be made at every new level, unlike some other Island Machines that have only one new item at each Level of Mastery.

Prepare 8 Glasses of Birch Tree Kvass
  Skip for 8 RC
  Each contains 1 Birch Tree Syrup and 1 Kvass

Rewards: 2500 Coins, 200 XP, 1 Festival Mystons Bag
