Strategies for the Mission
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

In Mysteries of the Past IV, you will need to harvest 4 Dates from the Date Tree and will need to use Dates to make one of the Recipes.  You can purchase a Date Tree from the Market for 6 RC if you wish, but it would be better to complete the Collections Mission if possible as you will need the Cat Statue to complete Mysteries of the Past VI.

As with any of the recent Missions, some of the Tasks require use of the Kitchen to prepare dishes, which means that you need 1 Power for every Dish.  Some of the Recipes have ingredients that are made in the Kitchen using other Recipes.  Try to make everything you can in advance so that you do not have to wait for your Power to be replenished.  The default Power is 30, but by having cleanable Decorations on your Farm or by visiting your Neighbours to clean their Decorations, you can add more Power to your Total as some of the Cleaning Gift Bags randomly contain a few Power or OP.
