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

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