Christmas Eve: Time-Restricted Santa's Journey Quests

A new series of Quests has appeared on Christmas Eve.   As usual, there are two different threads to follow.  First,  you must collect Christmas Presents from Crops, Animals, Trees and Machines in order to redeem them for the ultimate Reward of a Mistletoe Tree.    The Santa Claus Decoration allows you to collect prizes that ultimately can be redeemed for the Mistletoe Tree.

The Santa Claus Decoration can be upgraded to Level 5 to 'Improve your Luck'.  What this means essentially is that at Level 5 you will receive two Christmas Presents from any harvest randomly instead of one.  There are four regular Prizes:  Shooting Star (the second item needed to 'improve your luck'), an Ice Cat (a decoration), a Sack of Bait (used in Fishing) and a Thunderstorm (used to speed growth time of everything on the farm).  When you have redeemed one of each, you will unlock the Mistletoe Tree.

The first item required to 'Improve your Luck' is a Chocolate Santa.  You can request these from your Neighbours.  Remember that they will be in your Gift Box and that you must use them from THERE.  The second item, the Shooting Star, can be redeemed for 1 Christmas Present each.  Remember that these as well will be in your GIFT BOX and must be used from that location!

The second thread is a sequence of Quests entitled Santa's Journey.  You have 11 days to complete Santa's Journey.  The first step is to place Santa Claus, a temporary Decoration from which Rewards can be redeemed, on your Farm.  The ultimate prize for completing the Santa's Journey sequence is a Reindeer.

The following Quests require a large quantity of Harvests from Fruit Trees as well as Recipes from your Kitchen, many of them new.  If you are disposed to spend RC on anything, you may wish to do so for Super Watering Cans in order to hasten fruit tree Harvests.  (A balloon carrying Super Watering Cans should appear over your farm today as well.)

The new Christmas Recipes are given at the end of this post as well as on the Kitchen Page of this Guide.

Thanks to Eloise Osgood for sending me a list of the quests I had not yet completed myself.

Jubilation for Farmers who Celebrate Christmas: Christmas Trees and Angel Candle in the Market

New Christmas Decorations including two Christmas Trees have appeared in the Marketplace.  A Tree trimmed with Decorations that can be produced in the Ornament Machine in the original Family Farm game can be purchased for 10000 Coins.  Another Tree, actually the Festive Shaker produced in the Workshop in the original game, can be purchased for 3 RC.  Finally, the gorgeous Angel Candle that can be produced in the Beauty Shop in the original Family Farm game can be purchased for 5 RC in Family Farm Seaside.

The screenshots displayed below show the items in both games as well as the Decorations Menu in the Marketplace in Seaside.

In the original Family Farm, the trimmed Tree is a Quest, allowing one to trade items created in the Ornament Machine and elsewhere for Decorations to trim the Tree.  When the Tree is complete, one obtains another Reward in the form of special Christmas Animals.

The second Tree is one of the 'Festive Shakers' that can be crafted in the Workshop in the original Family Farm.

The Angel Candle is crafted in the Beauty Shop as previously stated.  It is one of my favourite decorations.

The other new Decoration that has appeared in the Market is a Christmas Cake that can be purchased for 12000 Coins.

In January 2014, a new option in the form of Cleaning for specified Decorations was added to the game.  The Christmas Trees as well as the Angel Candle are eligible for Cleaning, an action that gives a 'Gift Bag' containing a random Item that can vary from Gasoline to OP or Power.

New Christmas Time-Restricted Quests

As usual, the Quests are in tandem.  The first involves the collection of 'Carols' from four different harv

70 Purple Carol Scores from Grape harvests
50 Orange Carol Scores from Orange Jam
30 Red Coral Scores from Apple Juice
20 Black Carol Scores from Dark Chocolate Tree

The Rewards are an Aniseed Tree and a Nutcracker Decoration

The second is a traditional Quest/Mission sequence, given below.  There are eight Missions or Quests in this sequence and many of them require the use of Sugar in one form or another.  You will need to have a decent supply of Cane to make Sugar in the Sugar Machine as well as using it afterwards in the Candy Machine and in the Kitchen for a couple of different Recipes.

The thief left a clue behind, some footprints!  They have very tiny paws and it leads right to this mouse hole!  There is a note!  'A treat from childhood, thiny size will give you.  The Ghost from the Past!

N.B.  IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE NEXT QUEST IN THE SEQUENCE, YOU MUST COMPLETE THE COLLECTION OF CAROL SCORES IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE ANISEED TREE, UNLESS YOU WISH TO USE RC TO SKIP THIS STEP.  I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT, HOWEVER.  IT WOULD BE BETTER TO SPEND RC ON FARM AIDS TO COMPLETE THE COLLECTIONS FASTER BY RIPENING GRAPES OR WHATEVER.  NOTE THAT YOU CAN PLACE AS MANY JAM MACHINES AND JUICE MACHINES AS WILL FIT ON YOUR LAND.

A Winter Fairy Tale III

Now that I'm knee-high, what should i do?  I've just met a gingerbread man.  He seems to have a clue, but he won't say a thing.  He's afraid of something so I better leave him alone for now.

FINAL REWARD:  Chocolate Coating Machine and Gingerbread House Decoration

The Chocolate Coating Machine is familiar to players of the original Family Farm, but is new to Seaside and is slightly different in the ingredients used and the products it makes.  It make the following:

  Ingredients:  Dark Chocolate, Grape

Cherry Chocolate: 51 Coins
Ingredients:  Dark Chocolate, Cherry

Almond Chocolate: 57 Coins
  Ingredients:  Dark Chocolate, Almond

Peanut Chocolate: 240 Coins
  Ingredients: Dark Chocolate, Peanut

As you can see, the most valuable product is the Peanut Chocolate but, if you previously have grown hundreds of Grapes in pursuit of the Purple Carol Score, you may find it useful to make the Raisin Chocolate!


Finally, there are Recipes where the Dark Chocolate is used:

When it is Better NOT to Produce or Sell an Item

It appears that many of the new Quests will include some Seafood Item.  In the last time-restricted Quest, one needed a specific number of Hairtails.  Fishing results are somewhat random, although the bait and the position where the fishing rod is placed do determine the catch to some extent.    I therefore feel it is best to save all fish that are caught until a Quest or Mission requires them.  Otherwise, one may find oneself in the frustrating position of fishing again and again for a specific item that one does not catch.

I previously had smoked all the Fish I had caught.  I will not do so again.  It simply is not worth the frustration when a new Quest requires a specific Fish.

There are other situations where it is better to hoard the items one collects or at least keep a specific number, such as 100 of each in the Barn for use in a future Quest or Mission.  The Crops and Trees unlocked at higher levels usually will not be required for time-restricted Missions or Quests.  One therefore can use the items without fear that they may be required the next day in a new Quest.  It is the low level basic stuff of life that is required usually or, in the case of the recent Quests, the NEW items.  In any event, there are plenty of items one can sell without having recourse to the raw Fish.

Time-Restricted Sinterklaas Quests

As usual, there are two separate parts to this.  There are the regular Missions or Quests, which here are the Sinterklaas Quests and the Steam Boat, where one collects Mitres from Crops, Animals, Machines and Trees to redeem for various prizes.

You will not be able to perform these Quests if you have not reached a high enough Level in the game.  The Steamboat is unlocked at Level 10 but the Sinterklaas Quest sequence actually requires that you attain Level 20.


Find the Steamboat in the Market for 500 Coins and place it to begin the Mitre Quest.

The Prizes are:
Roe Stick (used to improve your luck at finding Mitres)
  1 Mitre each at the start

Saint and Pete
  30 Mitres for the first decoration

30 OP
  1 Mitre each at the start

5 Green Mystron
  1 Mitre each at the start

The number of Mitres required tends to increase as you redeem your prizes.  For example, to redeem a second Green Mystron will cost 2 Mitres.  To redeem a second batch of 30 OP will cost 2 Mitres.   A second Saint and Pete costs 50 Mitres.  It is only the Roe Stick that continues to require only 1 Mitre as you redeem more of them.    You only need to redeem one of each to unlock the final prize which is a Cinnamon Tree.

Once you have redeemed one of each prize, you will be able to redeem the Cinnamon Tree for 150 Mitres.  If you have reached Level 50, you can buy a Cinnamon Tree any day in the Market for 15,000 Coins.

IMPROVE YOUR LUCK
  This is an option that you will find that the bottom of the Steam Boat Screen.  You can upgrade your Steam Boat to Level 5 by collecting Chocolate Letters and Roe Sticks.  Chocolate Letters can be requested from Neighbours.  Roe Sticks can be redeemed with Mitres.  Improving your Luck simply means improving your chance of obtaining Mitres.  At Level 5, you have a random chance of obtaining 2 Mitres instead of 1 from any given harvest.

N.B.  ANY ITEMS REQUESTED FROM NEIGHBOURS MUST BE USED FROM THE GIFT BOX!  YOU WILL NOT FIND AN OPTION TO USE THEM IN THE STEAM BOAT!

Note that you will need a Cinnamon Tree to complete Sinterklaas Quest IV.  You therefore must be either at Level 50 or have collected 150 Mitres to redeem the Cinnamon Tree by the time you reach Sinterklaas IV unless you are willing to spend RC to skip this Quest.

Making Bait for Fishing

You can make Bait by trading almost any saleable Item in Family Farm Seaside, but always remember to avoid Items that are being produced to complete a Quest.  The amount of Bait that can be made by trading any Item usually depends on the Item's value in the Marketplace.  As usual, goods that have been produced are worth far more than the raw ingredients used to make them.

I discovered that Blackberry Jam could be traded for a decent amount of Bait and proceeded to use much of my stored Blackberry Jam, forgetting that I needed 90 to complete a Quest!  Never mind.  One always can make more Jam.

The real reason for this post is to draw attention to the value of all those bags of Sand that one catches when fishing.  One bag of Sea Sand can be traded for 199 Bait!

Bluestacks App Player

Randy Flujowa, another member of a group on Facebook for Family Farm Seaside, suggested a simulator app for people who do not have Androids or IPads or anything else.  Using the Bluestacks App Player, one can play Family Farm Seaside on any computer, whether a P.C. or Mac.  I asked my cousin Aloysius Villiers to install the app on my old laptop and to play the game that way.  He has done so and it appears to work.

For those of you who wish to play Family Farm Seaside but do not have 'smartphones' or any sort of mobile device, do try Bluestacks.  Make certain, however, that you download from the Bluestacks site itself and not from another location!

Bluestacks

The Bluestacks App Player can be installed on any P.C., laptop or Mac if it is not running a version of Windows that is older than Vista I believe.  If you have a Touchscreen, the game will run the same way it does on an Android or IPad.  Without a Touchscreen, you must use your Mouse which makes it a bit slower.

By January 2014, my cousin no longer used the Bluestacks Player on his laptop.  Too many updates that did not work for him as well as the awkwardness of not having a Touchscreen for a game that was developed FOR Touchscreens made it virtually impossible to play Family Farm Seaside properly.   The other laptop that had a Touchscreen crashed whenever Bluestacks was installed.  

Neighbours

There is a limit to the number of neighbours one can have in Family Farm Seaside. Some of us never will reach that limit, but others find it irritating when their list of neighbours is filled with people who no longer play the game.

To remove an inactive neighbour, tap on his/her portrait and hold it down.  When it begins to shake, tap on the X in the corner and that neighbour will be removed from your list.

How do you know when a Neighbour is not playing?  Well, that can be difficult as people do have lives of their own in the real world and sometimes cannot connect to the game.  I personally do NOT delete Neighbours unless a month or more goes by and they still haven't accessed Family Farm Seaside.  I myself went on a cruise that lasted 29 days.  It was almost impossible to connect to the game during that period, although I tried at every opportunity.  The connection was very slow and very expensive.  In any case, if a Neighbour is not playing, the icon of a big horn will be displayed on the top right of your screen.

I have written about the role of Neighbours elsewhere on this site, but will repeat the information here.  Neighbours are important for a number of reasons.  You can request an item daily from every Neighbour.  These Items can be specific items needed to complete a Mission or Quest or can be building materials needed to complete a project.  If no projects are outstanding, request a Product that you can sell or use in a Recipe.

You can visit every Neighbour once each day to earn XP and Coins.  You can perform a maximum of five actions on any Neighbour's Farm.  These actions include fertilisation of Crops or Trees or harvesting of Crops.  In rare instances, you can obtain a Crop for your own Barn by harvesting a Neighbour's Crop.

Simply by accessing a Neighbour's Farm, you can tap on 'Collect' to obtain 10 Coins and 5 XP.  Each of the five actions you then perform will give you 5 Coins and 1 XP.

A 'Cleaning' option has been added to the list of activities that can be performed on a Neighbour's Farm.  Only certain Decorations are eligible for 'Cleaning' but you should see an Icon of a Brush above any eligible Decoration.  Cleaning a Decoration will result in a Reward in the form of a Cleaning Gift Bag.  If any Neighbour Cleans an eligible Decoration on your Farm, you will receive a Cleaning Gift Bag as well.  This is an added incentive to visit your Neighbours as Cleaning Gift Bags when opened (Used) contain random Items that include Green Mystron, Gasoline, OP and Power.

'Liking' a Neighbour's Farm by tapping on the Smiley Face Icon in the centre of the screen near the top is an important boost for any Neighbour as it is related to a Farm Achievement.   Making certain that you perform this little courtesy for any new Neighbour.  It is something you do only once!

As previously indicated, having your Farm 'Liked' by a specific number of Neighbours is an Achievement in Family Farm Seaside.  Farmers often become irate (and I have been guilty of the same!) when they see that the number of Neighbours who have 'Liked' their Farms are far fewer than the total number of Neighbours they have.

I recently discovered that this may not be the fault of the Neighbour at all but depends entirely upon the way the Farmer connects to the game and whether or not he/she has linked the game to Facebook.  'Liking' a Farm is only available to those who have linked the game to Facebook.  When my cousin downloaded the Bluestacks App allowing him to play Family Farm Seaside on his laptop, he was unable to 'Like' any of the Farms of his neighbours.  He intends to download the Facebook app so he can link his farm to Facebook but until he does, he will be unable to 'Like' the farms of any Neighbour, including that of his own cousin!

Finally, visits from your Neighbours can speed the growth of your own Crops and reduce Harvest Time for Trees.  When they 'Like' your Farm, it brings you closer to another Achievement.

Mystron and the Calendar, two new options

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
THE CALENDAR
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Each day that a player logs into Family Farm Seaside, he/she will be given a reward.   This can vary from Coins to RC or a number of other items.  The longer one manages to log in without ever missing a day, the more valuable the rewards that one will obtain after any period of five days.  In other words, rewards follow a five-day cycle generally speaking.

Now, in November, in addition to the Daily Log-In Reward, there is a new Calendar option.  Players of the original Family Farm game on Facebook will be familiar with this option.  Again, a player must log in without missing any days for maximum benefit.  Each day, the player will receive a specific item reward.  At the end of the month, if no days have been missed, a special Reward will be given.  For the Calendar, however, a player can miss a day and still maintain his/her position if he/she is willing to pay RC to unlock the day that was missed.  This is not true of the Daily Log-In Reward.  Furthermore, it appears that if one misses a single day, the Daily Log-In resets to zero.  In the original Family Farm, one simply loses seven days for every day missed.

A note of caution here:  The Calendar, unlike the Daily Log-In announcement, does NOT load automatically always.  If it does not load for you on any given day, go to the Menu and you now will find the option in the bottom right of the screen under Calendar.

xxxxxxxxxxx
MYSTRON
xxxxxxxxxxx

Players have been mystified by the appearance of a green item that resembles a ticket or form of currency and has been named 'Mystron'.  If you go to your Menu, you now will find a new option in the form of the Mystery Store.  Click on that to discover a sort of trading post that will offer different items that can be acquired with Mystron.  The Mystery Store Menu when first accessed will declare:

'The Mystery Store offers different items every day.  The time counter indicates how long these items will be available.  You can get mystrons in Calendar, Lucky Wheel and Fishing.'

As an example, today you will find the following:

1 RC for 300 Mystron
Elderberry Tree for 2400 Mystron
Super Fertiliser x 25 for 1100 Mystron
Power x 6 for 1700 Mystron
Gasoline x 1 for 3700 Mystron
Swimming Pool for 400 Mystron

Using a Hook in Fishing that required 200 Bait, I obtained 10 Mystron.  By the prices given here, you can see how much that is worth on a general basis!  As the prizes change daily, however, players are advised to access the Market to see if anything has become more reasonable...

In January 2014, a new option in the form of 'Cleaning' for specific Decoraitons was added to the game.  Cleaning Gift Bags, the Reward either for Cleaning a Neighbour's Decoration or for having your own Decoration cleaned by a Neighbour can include Green Mystron.

Fishing in Family Farm Seaside

I suppose that it is only logical that the 'Seaside' version of Family Farm would introduce a Fishing option and expand it to include a Seafood House where items caught by the player can be processed.

I have to confess that I did not enjoy the fishing option much with the original free rod.   It does require a lot of 'bait' which the player can make by trading items produced on his/her farm.  It requires TIME and PATIENCE.  With the original rod,  in many cases, after playing the 'fish' or whatever is on the line for what appears to be a veritable eternity, the creature manages to escape, leaving one with an empty hook and lost bait.

What my own relationship with the fishing option might have been had it not been required for a quest I cannot say but it has been made a requirement in a new time-limited sequence of Quests entitled 'The Farm Beauty Contest'.   Three new recipes that require items caught while fishing have been added to the Kitchen.  One must produce three of each to complete one of the steps in the Quest.  I therefore had to make a valiant attempt to succeed at fishing.

The items that need to be caught for the quest mainly are Octopi.  One needs a total of 6 Octopi as they are ingredients in two of the three seafood recipes.  Octopi are fast-moving, cunning creatures as I know from other games...  In Animal Crossing, New Leaf, Octopi are caught while diving but they are one of the more difficult creatures to catch as they tend to move quickly beyond the barrier, thus earning safety from the player's clutches.  In Family Farm Seaside, they apparently can be caught only if one uses a hook that requires 200 Bait per throw.  In six attempts, I caught only one Octopus.  I then decided that I would use my valuable RC to skip that particular step in the Quest.  For a total of 9 RC, I bought an end to frustration and peace of mind.  Probably one of my better FFS investments, in all honesty.

NOTE THAT THIS EXPERIENCE WAS WITH THE ORIGINAL WOODEN FISHING ROD.  AFTER I WAS ABLE TO UPGRADE MY FISHING ROD FOR 12,000 COINS, I WAS ABLE TO CATCH ITEMS WITHOUT TAPPING OVER 300 TIMES ON THE HOOK!

I strongly urge players to invest 12,000 Coins in the Carbon Fibre Rod.  Fishing obviously is going to be an important part of Family Farm Seaside and it is not fun at all if the player uses the original rod.  My own experience has been echoed by player after player.

It is the HOOK that determines the type of fish or item you can catch.   ALL Items can be caught theoretically with any rod, but using the Carbon Fibre Rod allows the player a far greater chance of success with any 'hit' as well as drastically lowering the number of taps needed to 'reel it in'.    The Octopus that took over 300 taps to catch with the original rod took only 9 taps to catch with the Carbon Fibre Rod.

There is a third fishing rod that must be purchased with RC.   I personally do not see the point as I have done very well with the 'medium accuracy' rod.  Again, it is the HOOK that determines which items can be caught.  Regrettably, there are quite a few items that require a hook that uses bait that must be purchased with 1 RC.  If you intend to spend RC to fish, it is better to spend it on the bait for items that cannot be caught otherwise.

The types of Hook are:

Squid Hook:  Requires 10 Bait per catch
Bone Fishhook:  Requires 50 Bait per catch
Treble Hook:  Requires 200 Bait per catch
Colourful Hook:  Requires 1 RC per catch

If you wish to complete your Fish Book, you MUST use every type of Hook, including the Hook that costs 1 RC per catch.  Tap on the round icon of the Hook at the end of your Fishing Rod to access or change it.  The colours are:

Squid Hook: Blue
Bone Fishhook: White
Treble Hook: Red
Colourful Hook: Striped

You can access your Fish Book by tapping on the little closed book in the bottom right corner of your screen once you reach your Pier.    Here is a list of the Items in your Fish Book with the Hook required for each:

There are seven categories of Items.  Each has its own icon.

Treasure Chest
  Use Colourful Hook

Completing your Fish Book CAN be expensive in terms of premium Cash, but do note that, when I caught the Treasure Chest, I received 5 RC with it!  That basically reimbursed me for the cost of using the special Colourful Hook.

Items caught while fishing now can be processed in the new Seafood House as well.  The Seafood House must be built from an unfinished structure purchased in the Market.  It requires 15 Blue Tiles, 15 Bricks and 1 Red Crab.  The Blue Tiles and Bricks can be requested from Neighbours but the Red Crab has to be purchased with 4 RC, as I recall.  (Correct me if I am wrong about the name of that material... it is a Crab, in any case and appears to form the sign above the door of the House when it is completed.)

A completed Seafood House allows the player to process one item at a time.  Upgrades can be made however, to unlock more processing slots.  The first upgrade requires 10 Blue Tiles and 10 Bricks.

The Items caught when fishing all require different amounts of time to process.  For example, a Wakame piece of seaweed is processed in 12 minutes but a Scallop takes only 3 minutes.  In some cases, there is only one possible item to be made from the original ingredient but in others, there are probabilities that in rare cases allow the player to obtain more valuable items.

An example of this is the Coral.  When processed, the most probable result will be 8 bags of Coral Powder.  Less likely is a polished Coral Twig.  Even more remote is the possibilitiy of receiving a Coral Slice.  These processed items can be sold.  The Coral Powder is worth 6 Coins.  The Polished Coral Twig is worth 10 Coins and finally, the Coral Slice is worth 20 Coins.  Not much of a profit if one considers the value of the items one traded for bait!    One Cheddar Cheese makes only 5 Bait.  One Sugar makes 33 Bait.  One Sugar when sold from the barn is worth 138 Coins, a fairly hefty price.  One Cheddar Cheese is worth only  23 Coins but that still is more than the value of some of the  items that can be caught if one trades enough Cheddar Cheese to produce 50 or 200 Bait. 

Fishing, as for most people in real life, basically must be considered a labour of love rather than a viable business option, especially when one looks at the number of items that must be caught using bait that costs 1 RC.

As previously stated, success in fishing very much depends on the player's choice of Fishing Rod.  For 12,000 Coins, you can upgrade your original Wooden Rod.  It makes an incredible difference and is worth the cost!

The Wooden Fishing Rod is the default and is free.  It has a Low Fishing Accuracy.

The Carbon Fishing Rod costs 12,000 Coins and has a Medium Fishing Accuracy

The Panda Bamboo Rod coast 15 RC and has a high Fishing Accuracy.

When you receive Stars for a Catch, that appears to depend on the number of taps needed to catch that item.  I caught only one Message in a Bottle but received three stars (the maximum) because it took only 2 taps.

Here are some of the items one can catch with their values:

Opossum Shrimp: 847 Coins
Yellow Croaker: 22 Coans
Ray-Finned Fish: 907 Coins

Note that only some of the items that you catch when fishing can be processed in the Seafood House.  Those Items that can be processed will appear in the Seafood House Menu.

I would be much surprised if all edible items do not appear as Recipe ingredients in the near future.  I therefore strongly would suggest that players store them rather than selling them.  At present, many of the processed items from the Seafood House ARE included in Kitchen Recipes.

Meanwhile, there is another 'Machine' in the form of the Smoke House that allows Players to make Smoked Seafood and Fish of various types.  I had thought the Smoke House would be classified as a Building but it is a Machine.

Smokehouse Items:

Smoked Yellow Croaker: 60 Coins
Smoked Hairtail: 77 Coins
Smoked Tilapia: 84 Coins
Smoked Flatfish: 106 Coins
Smoked Butterfish: 265 Coins
Smoked Menhaden: 275 Coins
Smoked Ray-Finned Fish: 1101 Coins
Smoked Sardine: 1080 Coins
Smoked Salmon: 1093 Coins
Smoked Mackerel: 1088 Coins

Please see my Kitchen Page for all Recipes, including those that use raw and processed Seafood.

Although many Seafood Items, both processed and unprocessed, now are ingredients in Recipes, there are a few that neither can be processed nor smoked.  These, including the King Crab, probably will appear as Recipe ingredients in the near future.

One reason I suspect that all the Seafood items will be needed is the fact that one cannot store nor sell the Seafood House.  Some one wrote to the developers asking if this could be changed and received a response to the effect that the Seafood House would become extremely significant making it counter-productive to give players an ability to dispose of it.

In January 2014, a new option was added to the game in the form of a Beauty Shop.  You can find all Recipes for Items made in the Beauty Shop in my post that deals with the topic, but the items that are used in those Recipes that are processed in the Seafood House are as follows:


Conch (Janthinan Sea Snail)
Pearl (Scallop)
Sea Snail Shell (Nautica Sea Snail)
Coral Slice (Coral)
Polished Coral Twig (Coral)
Algae Powder (Gulfweed)
Algae Clay (Seaweed)

Jewelry Cases and Farm Beauty Contest Time-Limited Quests

SPOILER:  The final Rewards for completing the Jewelry Case Quest are a Matcha Tree and a Wasabi Pond.  The Wasabi Pond will produce Wasabi every six hours.  For me, it produced only 2 Wasabi.  Wasabi at present is used in a single Recipe in the Kitchen with Mackerel, a Fish that can be caught by fishing.  Note that fishing can be expensive in terms of bait and frustrating in terms of time, energy and results.  The Matcha Tree can be purchased in the Market for 7 RC if a player is not interested in completing the Jewelry Case Quest.  Matcha at present is used in three new Kitchen Recipes.

Completion of the Jewelry Case Quest is not that difficult, however and no RC need be spent in pursuit of this goal.  It is the other time-limited Quest sequence, the Farm Beauty Contest sequence, that can prove elusive and expensive.

Note that this mission is available only at Level 22 and above.

The final Rewards for completion of the Farm Beauty Contest Quest are a Sakura Tree and a Decoration in the form of a Trophy.  The Sakura Tree is available in the Market and the decoration does not produce Coins or anything else.  The fifth Quest in the sequence is particularly difficult as it requires that the player catch six Octopi, three Salmon and three Mackerels in order to make three seafood dishes, each of which must be made thrice.  You can skip the entire step for 9 RC which is what I did as I wished to complete the guide BUT the final reward really is not worth that price.

If, however you wish to complete the Farm Beauty Contest Quests, make some Recipes in advance to speed the process.  The Recipes you should make are Orange Ice Cream for use in the Matcha Ice Cream Recipe, Soft Dough for use in making Lychee Scones for use in the Matcha Lychee Pancake Recipe.

To make Orange Ice Cream, you need to make Condensed Milk using Milk and Sugar, then make Orange Smoothies with Condensed Milk and Orange Jam before making the Orange Ice Cream with Ice and Orange Smoothies.  To make Lychee Scones,  you first need Soft Dough made with Cake Flour and Batter.  Cake Flour is made with Rye Flour and Oat Flour.  Batter is made with Wheat Flour and Egg.  Whenever I do not have to make a Recipe for a specific Quest, I use my 30 Powers to stockpile Cake Flour, Batter, Condensed Milk, Soft Dough and sometimes Kulfi.  In particular, Cake Flour is used in a number of Recipes and always is worth the effort.

On 14 November,  new dual time-restricted quest sequences were released.  These quests will expire in 10 Days.  As usual, one of these involves the collection of special items, in this case Jewelry Cases, from specific harvests.  There are four different coloured Jewelry Cases, obtained from the following:

70 Green Jewelry Case: Cucumber KimChi
    Produce Cucumber KimChi in the Kim Chi Machine

50 Brown Jewelry Case: Tiramisu
  Produce Tiramisu in the Cake Machine

50 White Jewelry Case: White Grapes
  Harvest White Grapes

30 Red Jewelry Case: Cherry Tree
  Harvest Cherry Trees

The Rewards are a Matcha Tree and a Wasabi Pond.  You will need both to complete Farm Beauty Contest IV.

The second sequence is a traditional Quest sequence:

FINAL QUEST: Reward is  a Farm Beauty Trophy and a Sakura Tree

Thanks to Bev Jakins for sending me the last missions posted by Jo Poole, although sadly I did not see her message until after I had completed them myself.  Could have saved myself RC! 

Limited Halloween Missions

The Halloween Missions are twofold.  There is the 'Happy Halloween' Mission sequence and there is the Frankenstein Grave that, once placed, allows you to collect Witch Fingers from all kinds of crops, trees, animals and Machines.  Apart from these, there are some special temporary Recipes in the Kitchen, some of which are required for the Happy Halloween Quests.  These Recipes are as follows:

Marshmallow Skull: 164 Coins, 1 XP
  Ingredients:  1 Nectar, 1 Sugar

Halloween Pumpkin Soup: 236 Coins, 1 XP
  Ingredients: Halloween Pumpkin x 3, 1 Milk

Monster Snack: 611 Coins, 1 XP
  Ingredients: Marshmallow Skull x 2, Halloween Pumpkin Soup x 1

XXXXXX

Bloody Eyes: 54 Coins, 1 XP
  Ingredients:  1 White Chocolate, 1 Spooky Eye Fruit

Pasta: 422 Coins, 1 XP
  Ingredients:  Cake Flour x 2, Ketchup x 1

Bloody Pasta: 607 Coins, 1 XP
  Ingredients:  Bloody Eyes x 2, Pasta x 1

The Frankenstein Grave after placed, allows you to redeem prizes with Witch Fingers.  You need all four prizes to obtain the final Reward from this quest, which is the Spooky Tree.  As is usual in these cases, the final Reward, the Spooky Tree, requires Witch Fingers to redeem.  After redeeming one of each of the four other Prizes, you can redeem the Spooky Tree for 150 Witch Fingers.  The four regular  Prizes are:
Battery
Pumpkin Fountain
Power
Organic Fertiliser

As is usual in this situation as well, the Frankenstein Grave can be 'upgraded' to Level 5 to improve your 'luck' in harvesting Witch Fingers.  At Level 5, instead of receiving 1 Witch Finger randomly from any Crop, Animal, Machine or Tree, you will receive 2 Witch Fingers randomly.  What you really need if you wish to complete all the Halloween Quests, however, is simply sufficient Witch Fingers to redeem one of each of the four regular Prizes so that you then can collect 150 additional Witch Fingers for the Spooky Tree.  The Spooky Tree is required to complete the 7th Happy Halloween Mission.  The entire sequence is as follows:

Oktoberfest Time-Restricted Quests

The theme of the new time-limited Quest sequence is the Oktoberfest.  As usual, there are two different activities or quest types that are executed in tandem.  The first involves an item that is obtained randomly from Harvests and which can be redeemed for four different Rewards.  The second is a traditional sequence of Quests entitled Oktoberfest.

For the Reward Items, you must erect a Tent or Marquee on your FArm, then collect Gingerbread Hearts randomly from Crops, Trees, Animals and Machines in order to redeem the following Prizes:

Rope
Oktoberfest Flag
Thunderstorm
Oganic Fertiliser

The actual building can be 'upgraded' to 'improve your luck'.  To upgrade it, you will need Rope, which as you see is a Reward but which can be purchased for 1 RC if desired and Steel Pipes, which can be requested from Neighbours or purchased for 1 RC each.  The Marquee can be upgraded to Level 5.  For each successive Upgrade, you will need a greater number of Ropes and Steel Pipes.

Korean Wonder Time-Restricted Quests

At the end of August, a new series of time-restricted Quests.  As usual, there are two separate Quest sequences.  One involves collection of items from harvests of four different types.  In this case, the player must collect Masks from Cherry Trees, a Juice Machine, a Peacock and the Coffee Crop.  The other is a traditional sequence of Quests entitled Korean Wonder.

N.B.  To complete all the Korean Wonder Quests, you will need the temporary Soy Sauce and Vinegar Machines as well as the KimChi Machine.  The KimChi Machine does require 4 RC for one material but the others can be requested from Neighbours.  If you intend to perform these Quests or any time-restricted Quests, it always is a good idea to build or buy ALL the required machines at the very start before you are asked to do so in one of the Quest sequences.  For example, to make 10 Bulgogi for one of the tasks in Mission VI, you will need quite a lot of Soy Sauce.  Placing a single barrel at that point will delay completion considerably.  If, however, you place a number of barrels initially, you will have more than enough Soy Sauce to complete that Task instantly.
