Happy 12th Anniversary Quest and Party Cracker Collection

Note from Freyashawk: In a recent discussion in my Facebook Group, we protested against the constant demand for Oak Wood and Oak products in every timed quest.  There is no demand for Oak in this one.  In the event that the developers took notice of our feelings about this, I wish to thank them!

Another point: I have written a walkthrough on this site for the new Cloud Farm through Level 8.  I have been skeptical about the usefulness of the Cloud Lab techs but today I realised that was from my perspective as a fairly high lebel farmer who has played for 12 years.  I apologise.  I always have tried to consider the new or low level farmers and how they are impacted.  So in the case of Batch fill Tech, I think this might be quite useful especially on the Island as you can tap once to fill any Animal or Machine instead of using OP.  Island animals and machines use a great deal of OP.  This is an alternative for farmers who need to conserve theirs.  The problem, of course, is that the Cloud Farm Lab has to be upgraded to Level 3 before any Island techs can be unlocked.

Cloud Farm Walkthrough to Level 8

As of 10 October, this Walkthrough is complete to Level 8.   Through the Adventurer's Fortune as well.
 I am not able to spend more cash on this at present.  I used the Energy saved from the Cinderella Island, although I would have liked to have saved it for the next Treasure Island.  Support confirmed that there will be mote time-restricted Treasure Island Activities in the future.  The rewards from those tend to be of real value.

Note on 11 October: In completing the latest timed Quest, I saw how the Cloud Lab techs, especially Batch Fill Island tech, might be useful to farmers at lower levels who need to conserve OP.  You will find both the Seaside and Island Batch Fill tech requirements in this Walkthrough.

The Cloud Farm is permanent and so far, I personally am not that impressed by the Cloud techs.  Upgrading your Research Lab on Seaside produces far greater benefits.
I will continue to work on the Cloud Farm and the techs, however, as time permits.

Today, on 9 October, my Energy finally was reduced below 100 to allow me to see there is an Energy gauge here as well.  At the moment, the limit is 100.  It will refill over time until it reaches 100, when it disappears.  The game tries to send sales offers almost constantly on this Cloud Farm.  Some only are active for an hour or two.

HOW ENERGY WORKS:
Any energy ypu have can be used either on the Cloud Farm, on a Flashback like Uncle Carlos or on the Cloud Farm.  The problem here is that the gauge that refills over time will not evwn appear on the Cloud Farm until your total goes below 100.  In other words, the developers do not want you to stockpile Energy.  Before the Cloud Farm, many of us saved Energy at the end of a Treasure Island for use in a future Quest.  Although you still can do that, you cannot do that if you wish to make any progress on your Cloud Farm.

Access is through a new Rainbow Stairway icon in the centre of the screen and is not through Treasure Island.
That having been said, the blue Energy total will be available both for any current Treasure Island location as well as the Cloud Farm.

Support just confirmed that there will be future timed Treasure Island Quests like Cinderella.  Do not feel you must use all of your energy, gems and Golden Tools.  The Cloud Farm is permanent.  Work on it at your own pace.  Energy can be used on the Cloud Farm or any Treasure Island activity.

Like Treasure Island, tasks will be fed to you.  Tap on the task description when completed to move forward.

There is no time limit as far as I can tell, so be aware of your blue Energy totals and choose how you wish to expend that Energy.  Finish Cinderella first if you want those rewards.

Remember you still have access to the Cinderella Island until that Quest ends.  

Registering items in the Gallery:

This oprion is not avqilable until you reach Level 2.
When the Arrow appears at the bottom right, tap it for two options: sell or register.  Tap on Register and then the Cloud Farm item you wish to register.

Note that this tool will not appear at the start.  This is confirmed now by a friend in my Community.  I believe it appears at Level 2 when you unlock the Cloud Farm Store.  When the Market icon is added, the Arrow too will appear.

There are a number of different status bars now.  On the top left is your Reputation total in Stars.  This increases as you perform tasks and fill orders. The completion of the first task causes the bar to appear and gives you 10 Stars.

Strategy Tips:  As you progress, you will find that the same items may be required to complete a number of different tasks or upgrades.  It is very difficult to keep track of all of this.  If there is something you wish to prioritise, delete any Bazaar Orders that require the same items until you complete the prioritised upgrade or task.  There is no cost to refresh an Order in the Bazaar.

N.B. Earning Zeppelin Badges is important for Lab upgrades.  Filling Bazaar Orders earns Reputation Stars and Cloud Coins and reaching totals in the number filled also is required for some of the Quests.

There are no time limits, however.  Energy can be depleted quickly when clearing items from the map.

There are at least two kinds of special sales offers.

One is the tiered offer that appears to be limited to a fortnight.  The offers are in a specific order and paying real cash when required will give access to a couple of free offers.  In essence, they act as bonuses.  The last couple of payments are high and I think I will refrain.  I am surmising that, when the fortnight ends, an entirely new sequence will be loaded into the game, but I will confirm.

The other type of Offer is the Advanced Package.  These appear to be valid for a very brief period of 2 days at best.  Some only for 2 hours.

Reputation Point Levels:

Cloud Farm Levels are based on Reputation Point totals.  The requirements are:

Start at Level 1
Level 2: 200 Stars
Level 3: 600 Stars
Level 4: 1600 Stars
Level 5: 3600 Stars
Level 6: 7100 Stars
Level 7: 12100 Stars
Level 8: 19100 Stars
Level 9: 27100 Stars
Level 10: 36100 Stars
Level 11: 47100 Stars
Level 12: 62100 Stars

As of October, Level 12 is the highest Level for the Cloud Farm

Misty's Order: 1 Candle Flower, 2 Nectar Grass
Reward: 18 Cloud Coins, 8 Stars

And so on.  They will vary from farm to farm.  You cqn refrsh the Order by tapping the circular arrow on the top right.  There is no charge for this, but it may take a few moments for a replacement to be displayed.


Tap on the icon on the top eight.  There will be two tabs.  One shows the Energy Shop.  The second shows the Cloud Coin Shop.  Use Cloud Coins earned filling Orders or buy Cloud Coins with RC.

There are rewards in the Adventurer's Bazaar similar to Treasure Island Star total rewards as follows:

5 Orders: 50 Energy, 20 Cloud Coins

CLOUD FARM RESEARCH LAB
*******************************
When I completed Grandpa's Shiny Lab, the game froze.
After reloading:
Batch Pickup
Basic technologies to farm mire efgiciently.  Drag the screen left anf right to see more.
For now, we only can begin to research two basic techs.  Increase Cloud Lab Level to unlock more.
Seaside Farm and Island Farm have separate techs.  Tap to start a new research for a different farm.
This is a Scholar Owl.  One Scholar Owl can only research one tech at a time.

To upgrade to Level 2, you need: 50 Celestial Fox products, 5 Celestial Lotus, 2 Zeppelin Badges
And 2000 Cloud Coins

There are five Cloud Lab Levels.
Currently, only Seaside Techs are available.

Batch Pickup:  Tap any finished Seaside Farm Machine or Animal products to collect all finished products at once.

Materials required: 30 Celestial Wool, 5 Peach Sparkling Water, 10 Vibrant Macarons: 1 Minute
800 Cloud Coins to Upgrade

Completing the Lab conpletes Grandpa's Quest for the Shiny New Lab.

Another Quest loads:
Grandpa's Exceptional New Skills:
Research the Batch Pickup Tech one time
Earn 800 Cloud Coins from Orders
Produce 30 Celestial Wool
Reward: 20 E. 120 C. Coins. 50 Stars

Batch Fill Tech
***************
Upgrading the Lab Level is quite different from upgrading the Tech levels:

Upgrading the Lab to Level 3:
15 Marbled Fruitcake, 20 Stone Vine Flower, 20 Peach Sparkling Water, and 3000 Cloud Coins
The requirements cannot be met until you reach Level 7 in the Cloud Farm.

Upgrading the Lab to Level 2 is insufficient.  You must increase the Batch Fill Tech from 0 to Level 1 before you can use it.  Requirements:
80 Celestial Wool, 15 Multifruit Iced Tea, 1 Zeppelin Badge and 1200 Cloud Coins

At the same time, you can reduce the growing time of four crops by upgrading the Tech from 0 to 1, but each has its own requirements, and reduction of time is only 1%.  You can upgrade these each to Level 10 and each level upgrade reduces growth time by another 1%.  It takes 10 minutes for the upgrade to complete.  

My feeling is that sprinklers are more effective, but it is likely these techs must be completed in order to move forward to the new techs available at Lab Level 5.

Clover: 20 Starry Pea Cakes, 1 Zeppelin Badge, 300 Cloud Coins

Grape: 20 Vibrant Macarons, 1 Zeppelin Badge, 500 Cloud Coins

Wheat: 1 Zeppelin Badge, 50 Spirit Mouse Candy, 500 Cloud Coins

Corn: 1 Zeppelin Badge, 15 Crystal Jelly, 600 Cloud Coins
To upgrade to Level 2: 20 Celestial Wool, 5 Floral Doughnuts, 100 Cloud Coins
To upgrade to Level 3: 25 Celestial Wool, 8 Floral Doughnut, 100 Cloud Coins

N.B.  Sprinklers and their upgrades on any Seaside aPlot reduce crop growth times more effectively, but these techs may lead to other techs.

To upgrade the actual Cloud Lab to Level 3:
15 Marbled Fruitcake, 20 Stone Vine Flowers. 20 Peach Sparkling Water and 3000 Cloud Coins

Marbled Fruitcake is unlocked at Level 7



To the left of the Lab is another Rainbow Cloud: 80 Star Princess Gowns*, 12 Zeppelin Badges, 8000 Cloud Coins

*Unlock Celestial Boutique at Level 8

Kind of pointless compared to batch production or the techs on Seaside like Out of Nowhere.

Autumn Sunset Glow Quest and Windmill Collection Mission

Note from Freyashawk:  Thanks to all who voted for HM. Freyashawk.  It is appreciated.  Although I ended at No. 19, every vote I received was legitimate and required the act of another farmer to choose my felarm.  I am still outraged that farms who create totals that are clearly the result of tech manipulation are allowed to stand by the game developers again and again.  I shall continue to ask for votes for the sake of 5his site.  When I no longer receive votes, I shall assume no one uses this site any longer.  It is a pity there is so much deceit and cheating in our world now.
There are far worse deceits than those involving virtual realities of course and I shall continue to protest against those as well while there is breath in my body.

May all of you enjoy a safe and peaceful week.  Thank you again for your continuing support in the Farm Beauty Contests.

Cinderella Treasure Island

Walkthrough, now complete.  I added a final strategy tip below for any player who has reached 1300 Stars but it not necessarily interested in clearing more of the Map to build the Float.

There are two ways to do this Activity really.  One is to push on quickly, buying Energy and Golden Tools either in special sales offers or using your RC.  The other is to go into the game repeatedly to use the Energy that accrues over time, using farm aids to trade for Energy at the Fountain and use the Energy that you find in blue Gift boxes as you go along.  I only open those at the end so will give the total of all Energy on the Map then.

Note there are two Energy gauges on the top left:
Blue is permanent Energy gained through tasks, purchases, and other Rewards including Gift Boxes on the map.  This Energy and Diamonds can be saved for future Treasure Islands
Green is temporary Energy that accrues every 2 minutes but cannot be used until your permanent Energy goes below 100.  This is described fully in earlier Treasure Island posts.
Note that some materials are available for use in every Treasure Island and can be saved for future Islands.  These include Grass, Branches, Wood and Stone.  With respect to the other items like the Lilies and Milk and so on that are specific to this Island, it is best not to waste Energy collecting more than you actually can use.  I believe they may be converted to Coins after the end of the Activity, but that is an expensive way to earn Coins!  

Temporary Energy always is based on how far you have progressed on the current map as well as your permanent energy being at 100 or more.  Do not expect to save the temporary Energy.  You can use it on the Cloud Farm if you redeem it in Cinderella until the Cinderella Quest ends.

In situations where you need Star Fragments, you, unlike me, have this Walkthrough to guide you as to what materials to clear next.  Once you have decided whether or not to stop at 1300 Stars, you can decide whether or not to use Energy for quest materials or find permanent materials only to gain the Star Fragments you need.  There is one other reason to go as far as the room that requires a sofa repair even if you do not intend to reach the Float

Please be aware that the green temporary energy gauge below the blue permanent energy gauge only appears after you Shoo Away the Cat the second time.  It begins with a limit of 100 Energy then.   (Thanks to Al Quds Farm for confirming this detail.)
As you complete specific tasks, the upper limit for the temporary energy will increase.   400 is the maximum.  You can convert it to permanent energy that can be used anywhere until the Cinderella Quest ends.

ONE FINAL TIP: 
Even if you do not intend to carry on to the end of the map to gain the Float, I suggest it is worthwhile to go as far as the room with the sofa after building the second carriage.  You will have gained 1300 Stars for the Carriage decoration.  Now collect the final toy which I believe is a sailboat in a large pink bag.  Return to the Trader and she will give you the Golden tool and THEN offer you either a Festive Reindeer or 1000 Energy.

This is well worth achieving.

How to maximise Energy apart from special sale offers:
You can raise the Fountain to Level 4, paying 10 then 20 diamonds to raise the Energy trade from 30 to 90 and then  to Level 4 with another 30 Diamonds.  This gives you the ability to trade for 200 Energy.  With 300 permanent Energy, I was able to make a trade.  The limit here may be 1000 unlike the 100 Energy limit for the collection of the temporary energy.  I will need to confirm this.  It takes 8 hours for the cooldown to another trade.

You must have your permanent Energy at 100 or above to accrue temporary energy but you only can collect it when your permanent energy dips below 100.

Strategy tip: Leave the game with energy at 100 at least.  Allow the temporary bar to fill.
Reduce briefly below 100 to collect all temporary energy and trade farm aids at the fountain for another 90 Energy.
Use the Energy thus gained but makrle certain permanent Energy is at least 100 when you stop playing.

You can open gift boxes on Treasure Island, trade Diamonds for Energy, or trade RC for Diamonds, then convert to Energy if you do not wish to spend cash.

Counting total gift boxes:  I opened a few by accident but I qm goinf to try to give a total for Energy anf Diamomds on both maps:
Map 1: 
Before: 641, 242
After: 2646, 242

Map 2:
Before: 2646, 242
After: 5247, 242

It was a little more for Map 2 but I had to clear a Potted Plant to reach two blue boxes.

These are totals for Energy in areas not needing Golden Tools.

I used most of the Energy in the Golden Tool areas.  There were two areas unused om the sevond map as follows:

Far west, reached by a bridge, below the entrance to the last large building complex with brown tile floors:
Beglfore: 5247, 242
After: 6102, 256

The other is in that building complex, small chamber in northeast to the left of the room with the slipper on the floor.  It required 4 sets of Golden Tools to access.

Before: 6102, 256
After: 7302, 272
Star Fragments are an extra material that can be collected automatically when you clear objects for specific materials.

Rewards are given in the Rewards list below.  The final Reward is a Wedding Cake Float for the Parade.

At 1100 Stars, receive a Parfait Machine.  It uses Buffalo Milk and various fruits or sweets, making the following: Pineapple Parfait, Raspbwrry Parfait, Blueberry Jam Parfait, Chocolate Parfait, Magic Sugar Parfait, Magical Jello Parfait.

The Animal or Machines that are rewards in these Treasure Island Activities will not be featured in timed quests.  The products are requested in optional tasks, such as feeding a dragilon, or gaining heart points for a doll.  When farmers declare they 'need' one of these, they really do have other choices.  They can simply give the dragon all the items they actually have that day or, if it is an item to gain heart points for a doll, refresh the request instead so it requires a different item.  If you are the sort of farmer who must fill every request in the game, you really need to reach 1100 Stars in all of the Treasure Islands so you have your own source in the form of the special machine or animal.  It can be done without paying cash, but it is labour and time intensive.  Still, this is what will make you self-sufficient.  You do not 'need' the final Decoration or the Float for the Parade, but you might 'need' the Animal or Machine.  In this instance, it makes a variety of Parfaits.

Note that the final Reward for completing all trades with the Trader is either the Festive Reindeer or 1000 Energy.  Your choice.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival Quest and Dim Sum Box Collection Mission

Please note that there were small lacunae in this post when I first published it.  It was a difficult morning, and I hesitated to publish it at all, bit I am going through it carefully now to correct any omissions.
So please refesh this post if you loaded it earlier!  I apologise.

The Autumn Moon Festival is a very ancient one and this year falls on 17 September.  The Chinese traditions are a little different from the Japanese, but mooncakes and lanyerns feature in both.  
In both cultures, there is a folk belief that one can see not a man, but a rabbit in the moon.  
There are a number of other legends surrounding the Moon Festival.  
Essentially, however, it is an opportunity to appreciate or worship the Moon and to do so in the company of loved ones.

A new 11 day Quest and Collection Mission have bern released.  Veteran players know that once the time period ends, the Quest will become available from the Lighthouse.  The Collection Mission, however, will cease to be available.  Originally, these Collection Missions did not require Machines that had to be purchased with RC.  Howeever, it is a good ifea to purchase all of the 'RC' machines from the Market when you can as the cost of the Collection Mission Reward is not much less if you have to buy it, and these Machines are needed again and again.

N.B.  People are stressing over this Code business that is associated with a video preview of a new farm to be released later.  You do not need five farmers to use your code!  You do not 'need' any of this really.  There are small rewards if you go to the site daily but it does not unlock a new farm!

Watching the brief video, it looks as though this new farm will be sort of a cross between Treasure Islands and the Uncle Carlos Flashback.  Just my own sense if it of course from a brief glimpse, but it looks as though Energy (lightning bolt icon) is required there.

Dim Sum Collection Mission:
70 from Pasture
50 from Milk
30 from Original Crispy Rice Treat
10 from Cherries
Reward: Sweet Osmanthus Tree. (Can be purchased from Shop for 10 RC as well)

Uncle Carlos Treasure Island

'Troubled Uncle Carlos'

This is something new.  You have five days to complete the first leg of it once you start.  Essentially, Uncle Carlos begins as a Stranger.  The more you do, the better the relatuonship.  By earning Hearts with him, you make progress.

In the course of this adventure, you will use Energy and Diamonds.  Whatever you have saved from the last Treasure Island will be diminished.  I have used over 3000 Energy and 90 Diamonds to reach the point where I have unlocked the Yacon Crop for Seaside.

Note that any Yacon you harvest on Seaside will not be available for use on the island.

If you have not saved any Energy or Diamonds, it might be difficult to perform the 5 day Quest without spending cash.  You will have 100 Energy that refreshes over time, but to upgrade the Dew Collector, you either needs Golden Tools or Diamonds.

To write this walkthrough, I used Energy and Diamonds without opening any gift boxes so I could make a record of the total.  It was 3,740 Energy.  There were no gift boxes containing Diamonds.  I think a few of the gift boxes were in the areas unlocked by clearing Magic Fog.

Note that maximum Energy you can recover by waiting is 100.   It takes 2 minites to revover 1 Energy point.

I do recommend upgrading the Dew Collector to Level 2, even if you must pay 60 Diamonds if you do not have the 2 sets of Golden Tools used to clear the Magic Fog to obtain the necessary materials for the upgrade.  At Level 2, the Dew Collector appears to be on a 10 minute timer for the collection that requires 20 Energy.  My strategy would be to obtain most of the Dew required via the Dew Collector.


There are two separate paths for Rewards.  The first is the 5 day limited one.  The second, above it, is the Main Quest Reward path.

For the 5 day quest, the Rewards are all Farm Aids and at the end, 1 Banana Tree.
They are 20 Super Fertiliser, 20 Super Watering Can, 75 OP, 1 RC and a Banana Tree.

Actually, I wish the devs had explained better as it really does not matter if you complete the quest in 5 days.  You can carry on until it is complete.  You simply will not earn any of the 'time limited' rewards you failed to completw.  You will receive the important toolboxes by completing the quest, however long it takes.
Thus, you do not need to spend RC or cash on this if you do not care about receiving the farm aids or a banana tree!

The real advantage to completing the Quest is to earn the Toolboxes that can be used to increase capaciy of the rooms in the Tree Nursery or the Warehouse.

The Remodelling Workshop that uses the Toolboxes is part of the same building that is rhe Paint Stand.  Tap the Toolbox icon on the top left to access upgrade options.

For the Main Quest, you will receive a series of Uncle Carlos Toolkits, and when you complete the first Reward, unlock his Remodelling Workshop as the Main Quest Reward.  He is now an Acquaintance with 1 Heart.

By using 3 Toolboxes, every room in my Tree Nursery now has two more slots.


Note that Energy and Diamonds from a previous Treasure Island are available for use.

1. Clear Grass: requires 9 Energy (earn 1 Heart)
2.  Give Uncle Carlis some Nectar: 3 Nectar, 1 Grass (each flower requires 16 Energy and gives 1 Heart)
3.  Give UC berries (each blueberry bush takes 16 Energy, gives 1 Berry)
4. Follow UC
To do this, clear a blue bush amd then another, then cover a Mushroom Pit: 4 Ruffled Fan Palm Leaf, 3 Nectar, 3 Berries
(30 Energy when you complete)
5. Find the Atomiser Machine: 6 Palm Leaf, 4 Nectar, 8 Berries
To do this, clear a flower.
6. Upgrade the Atomiser Machine
  To upgrade, you need: 6 Palm Leaf, 4 Nectar, 10 Dew
To upgrade to two stars: 1 Work Gloves, 1 Toolbox

These are in an area covered by fog requiring 3 sets of Golden Tools to clear.  The price is 90 Diamonds and if you clear the Magic Fog, you find both the Gloves and Toolbox on the ground with some gift boxes round them.
Each time you upgrade, you increase the Dew received from items.
To increase to 3 stars: 1 Work Gloves, 1 Toolbox
If you are at 3 stars, you increase Dew from 3 to 4
There is another Magic Fog that requires 3 sets of Golden Tools to the right of the first
7. Change UC's Painting: 6 Pollen, 6 Berries, 28 Dew
Energy reward: 793 to 813
8.  Look Around
To do this, Cover 1 Mushroom Pit: 2 Palm.Leaf, 2 Berries, 16 Dew
He is at 2 Hearts now, a Pal.
Reward increase Energy from 597 to 617
To continue to Look Around, cover another Mushroom Pit: 2 Palm Leaf, 2 Hemp Rope, 16 Dew
Reward increase Energy from 489 to 509
To continue, build a Wooden Flower Bridge: 4 Palm Leaf, 6 Hemp Rope, 30 Dew
Increase Energy from 241 to 261
9. Fix the Dew Collector: 8 Pollen, 8 Hemp Rope, 38 Dew

When it is complete, you receive 20 Energy

The Dew Collector is on a timer.  Spend 20 Energy to receive Dew according to its upgrade Level.  At 1 Star, receive 10.  At 2 Star, receive 20.
You then are told to upgrade it:
2 Palm.Leaf, 4 Dew.
This will increase Dew Collection from 5 to 10
This gives it 1 Star.
To upgrade to 2 Stars: 1 Work Glove, 1 Toolbox
There is Magic Fog to the right that requires 2 sets of Golden Tools or 60 Diamonds.  Likewise Magic Fog to the left.
10. Find U.C.

First you must clear 1 Palm
Now to move forward to find U.C. you need to Cover a Pit: 4 Palm, 4 Nectar, 16 Dew
11.  Make a Paint Bucket.
Yellow Paint Bucket: 8 Hemp Rope, 4 Yacon, 30 Dew, gives 20 Energy
To reach this, you must cover 1 Pit: 6 Hemp Rope, 4 Green Mineral, 16 Dew
New Crops Unlocked!
Yacon

When you return to Seaside, there will be a new crop in the Market and a new Quest.

1.  
Plant 10 Yacon
Harvest 10 Yacon
2.
Prepare 10 Yacon Cake (Cake Machine)
Prepare 10 Yogurt Yacon Cake
(Kitchen)

What is interesting is that you can grow and sell the Crop freely in your Stall and farmers who have not done the quest still can buy the Crop from you and make Yacon Cake.

12. Paint A Picture: 6 Nectar, 10 Dew, 8 Yellow Paint, receive 20 Energy

The Yellow Paint Bucket is a Workshop with 1 Slot.  Open another with 3 Diamonds
1 Yellow Paint= 1 Yacon, 4 Dew
4 Yellow Paint = 4 Yacon, 16 Dew

13.  Look Around:
To do this, you must build a Wooden Flower Bridge: 4 Palm Leaf, 6 Green Mineral, 20 Dew, receive 20 Energy

14. Fix the Dew Separator: 8 Nectar, 8 Green Mineral, 30 Dew, receive 20 Energy

The Dew Separator is a Dew Workshop
1 Dew= 3 Palm Leaf, 2 Dewy Bush
4 Dew= 12 Palm Leaf, 8 Dewy Bush

15. Find U.C.

16. Repair a Bridge: 4 Pollen, 4 Hemp Rope, 15 Dew, receive 20 Energy
To do this, you must first cover a Pit: 4 Hemp Rope, 10 Dew
Then clear a Dewy Bush for 44 Energy

17. Make a Paint Bucket: 8 Nectar, 6 Berries, 30 Dew, receive 20 Energy

Blue Paint:
1 Blue Paint: 1 Berry, 4 Nectar
4 Blue Paint: 4 Berries 16 Nectar

18. Paint Once: 20 Dew, 8 Blue Paint

When you conplete this, you gain a 4th heart and U.C. now is a Friend

New Feature Unlocked when you collect a Toolbox as a Reward: Uncle Carlos' Remodelling Workshop:
Not only cosmetic but functionality
Increase the capacity of each riom in Tree Nursery from 5 to 7 costs 3 Toolboxes
Increase the basic capacity of the Seaside Warehouse by 10 costs 2 Toolboxes

19.  Paint Once: 20 Dew, 8 Blue Paint, 8 Yellow Paint
(Same easel)

20.  Make a Paint Bucket: 8 Nectar, 6 Green Material, 20 Dew, obtain 20 Energy
To reach it clear a Dewy Bush for 44 Energy

21. Paint Once: 30 Dew, 8 Blue Paint, 8 Green Paint

Wirhout completing this, I have spent 5000 Energy

22.  Find an Empty Bucket:
To do this you must Cover a Pit: 4 Nectar, 8 Hemp Rope, 20 Dew
Then clear a Dewy Bush for 44 Energy

23.  Make a Paint Bucket: 10 Pollen, 10 Hemp Rope, 20 Dew, get 20 Energy

This is a Workshop for Red Paint
1 Paint: 1Pollen, 4 Dew
4 Red Paint: 4 Pollen, 16 Dew

24.  Paint Once: 30 Dew, 12 Green Paint, 12 Red Paint

This is the last task and completing it raises Hearts to five for position of 'Confidant'.  I think it should be 'Confidante' but never mind.

3773 Energy at the end. After opening all Gift Boxes, 7513.
I did not pay for all the Golden Tool areas, but I did pay a total of 150 Diamonds for Golden Tools to upgrade the Machines to 2 Stars.  I wonder if it was worth the cost.

Unanswered Questions:  will any of these Workshops be used again or will every flashback island be separate?

Photo Studio Activity August

This Walkthrough now is complete.

The Activity lasts 9 more days.  Any Energy and Amethysts you have at the end carry over to the next Photo Studio.

Rewards:
For the 'Free' Levels, a Pastry Chef Rhino Avatar, Pastry Shop Avatar Frame, a Hungry Puppy Decoration.
For the VIP Pass, a Pink Rhino (Animal) and a Pastry Chef Rhino.

The most important Reward is the new Animal obtained with the VIP Pass at Level 20.  The Pink Rhino eats Rice and produces Rhino Carvings.

If you are familiar with this Activity, only the items change.  If not, the one critical detail omitted in the tutorial is that any item with an energy bolt attached to it is a generator that creates the items you need for orders.
Generators become available at specific levels:

Level 1: Small Pet Bed
Level 2: Medium Pet Bed (merge Small Pet Bed).
The Medium Pet Bed produces new items in the form of Dogs.
Level 4: unlocks the Sheet Music Generator
Piano:  this is the item at maximum Level created by merging Sheet Music Items and temporarily creates its own items 

At Level 5, you receive a third order.

At Level 6, the first Recipe in the form of the Blue Elf appears:
British Shorthair Cat + Complex Note = Accordionist Kitten

At Level 7, the Power Boost is unlocked.
Flick the swirch to produce higher levels but use 2 Stamina each time

At Level 8, you obtain the Small Art Box, a new generator.

At Level 10, you can merge the Sheet Music to obtain the Level 2 Music Book.  It produces no new items.

At Level 10, you receive a 4th Order.

At Level 12, you obtain the Gardening Tool Box.  This is a generator that produces Potted Flowers.

At Level 14, yoi can merge the Small Art Box to obtain the Large Art Box.  This allows you to generate new items in the Oil Paintings category.

At Level 16, you unlock the second Recipe in the form of the Green Elf.
Shibu Inu + Medium Easel = Puppy Portrait

At Level 18, merge the Medium Pet Bed to obtain the Large Pet Bed.  It produces no new items but will generate more valuable items.

At Level 20, merge the Music Book to obtain the Music Stand.  It generates no new items.

At Level 22, you merge the Small Gardening Toolbox to create the Large Gardening Toolbox.  This allows you to geberate Gardening Tools as well as Potted Flowers.

At Level 24, I obtained the 3rd Recipe with the Red Elf.
Complex Melody + Large Flower Pot = Flower Music Box

After you reach Level 25 and contain the final Rewards, you can continue to play qnd fill orders to obtain Bonus Boxes.
Each 100 points will give you one Bonus Box.
Incidentally, I would advise players not to tap on the Treasure Island Uncle Carlos Activity until they complete the Photo Studio.  It has a five day deadline once activated and is a lot of work filling pits and such.  I am working on a separate post for that.

Strategy Tips:
As my goal is to complete the walkthrough quickly, I spend more than I otherwise would.

Essentially, there are tools that help with strategy:
Universal Card: can merge with any regular item to raise it to the next level
Splitter: can be used with any regular item to lower it to the previous level, creating two lower level items
These are given as Rewards at various levels but can be purchased as part of a bundle or in the Store inside the Activity.

The Power Boost is very useful but turn it off to get the lowest item in the chain.  There are rewards in the Photo Album for every new item you create.

You either can watch adverts to claim a bubble item or use a 'Skip Ad Ticket'.  I believe you begin with 10 tickets each day.
When should you use Amethysts to claim a bubble item?  I have no answer for that as it is a matter of how much patience you have!  I used Amethysts to complete the walkthrough quickly.

Each day, if you purchase 100 Stamina in the Store, the first purchase will cost 10 Amethysts.  The next costs 20.  The cost keeps increasing until the next day.

Item Chains:

Cats: Yarn Ball, Toy Mouse, Baby Cat, Siamese Cat, British Shorthair Cat, Calico Cat, Lucky Cat

Dogs: Chew Toy, Knotted Rope Toy, Frisbee Toy, Chihuahua, Shiba Inu, Beagle, Corgi, Pug, French Bulldog

Musical Instruments: Maracas, Tambourine, Ukulele, Harp, Saxophome, Accordion, Piano

Musical Notes: Simple Note, Complex Note, Simple Melody, Complex Melody, Simple Composition, Complex Composition

Paint: Drawing Pencil, Crayon, One Paint Tube, Paint Tube Duo, Small Palette, Large Palette, Small Paint Bucket, Mefium Paint Bucket

Oil Paintings: Oil Painting Paper, One Roll of Canvas, Canvas Roll Duo, Small Easel, Mefium Easel, Large Easel, Beginner Oil Painting, Advanced Oil Painting

Potted Flowers: Flower Seed, Sprout, Seedling, Bud, Blossom, Small Flower Pot, Large Flower Pot, Flower Stand

Gardening Tools: Garden Trowel, Garden Rake, Garden Saw, Garden Shears, Garden Shovel, Watering Can
