Teahouse Time-Restricted Quest and Macaron Collections Mission



The Teahouse Mission is twofold.  It involves a Collections Mission wherein you randomly collect Macarons of different colours from designated items as well as a traditional Quest sequence.

Above, the screenshot shows Rewards from both the Collections Mission and the Quest in the form of a Teahouse Decoration and a Flower Swing Decoration.

  Skip for 20 RC

N.B.  Milk and Maple Syrup are the ingredients in Maple Milk Tea, one of the new Recipes.

Prepare 10 servings of High Tea
  Skip for 10 RC

N.B.  High Tea requires Maple Milk Tea and Lavender Cupcakes.  This is rather cruel in a way as you will need to make Lavender Cupcakes in the next step of this Mission in Teahouse VI so all in all, you will need 10 Lavender Cupcakes for Teahouse V and 10 more for Teahouse VI.

Lavender Cookies has Coconut Milk as one of its Ingredients.  Coconut Milk is a Kitchen Recipe that uses Sugar made from Cane in the Sugar Machine as well as Lavender.  Make enough Sugar in advance for 20 Lavender Cupcakes if you can as well as enough Sugar for the Blueberry Candy required in Teahouse VIII.

Strategies for Quest Completion
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

As always nowadays, the real problem in completing the traditional Quest sequence with any speed is the limit to Power.  You are given 30 Power and time will replenish any Power that you use.  When you look at the tasks, however, you will see that 30 Power is nothing compared to the amount needed in some cases to complete a single step.  For example, as early as Teahouse II, you are required to prepare 20 Sunrise Porridge and 20 Bean Stew with Crumbly.  Each of these Recipes has two ingredients, both of which are dishes created in the Kitchen. Actually, Orange Crumble requires Batter as one of its ingredients, another dish made in the Kitchen.   If you do not have any of these stored in your Barn at the time of the Quest, you will need a total of 140 Power to complete Teahouse II alone!

Cleaning Gift Bags randomly contain Power as well as other useful items such as OP.  If you save these for a 'rainy day', eg. a timed Quest or Mission, you should have a few extra Power in your Gift Box.    Making basic Dishes such as Cornmeal, Batter, Condensed Milk, Cake Flour and so on, and storing them in your Barn will help as well.

Family Farm Seaside has become more difficult in terms of saving Power, however, in that the Cooking Stand Quests require the preparation and sale of 200 Dishes from the Kitchen at every stage.  You will have to balance this need against the need for Power in the Teahouse Quest in order to succeed at both in the time frame allocated to each Farmer.

Note that you can obtain some extra Power by registering certain Items now as well.  Registrationn of Animals tends to give a Reward in the form of Power, while registration of Trees gives Watering Cans and registration of Machines gives OP.  The amount that you obtain of any of these depends on the specific item that is registered.  Only one Item of any type can be registered.  In other words, if you happen to have four Holstein Cows, only registration of the first is possible.

If you do not have the Cooked Dishes that are required as Ingredients for Dishes needed to complete one of the Teahouse tasks, try to make these Dishes when you are involved in a task or tasks that does not need Power.  Plan ahead a little.

I find it difficult to maintain space for Machines now, even with the largest Farm expansion.    Although I hate to store Decorations that can be cleaned, timed Quests often require this sacrifice as tasks tend to be associated with Machine Products as well as Animal Products.

I have learned NEVER to sell anything from my Barn if it is not mandated by a Daily Order or Quest.  Sooner or later, I will find that every item is needed.

Speaking of Items that are needed for Tasks, the Collections Mission will require a large number of Tomatoes for the Ketchup and Blueberries and Honey for the Blueberry Jam.  Remember that Blueberries can be requested as a Free Gift if you lack sufficient quantities.  Tomatoes unfortunately are not in the Gift List but you do need to harvest 40 of them for Teahouse I.  Carrots are the Crop that randomly yields the Orange Macarons in this particular Collections Mission.

Sugar is an Item that will be required in some quantity for use as an Ingredient both in the Kitchen and in Machines.  You will need 20 Sugar to make the Coconut Milk that is one of the Ingredients in the Lavender Cupcakes required in the course of the Quest sequence as well as 60 Sugar for use in the Candy Machine to make Blueberry Candy.

You do have 11 days from the release of any timed Quest or Mission to complete it, so there is no real urgency here, but some players like myself, prefer to move forward as quickly as possible.  One of my own reasons for doing so is the unreliability both of my system (rather old) and internet connection.  I try to complete these Quests as early as possible in case I lose the connection.

As you will need the Rewards from the Collections Mission in order to complete the traditional Quest sequence, it is a good idea to complete that as quickly as possible.  The Grapefruit Tree, needed in Teahouse IV, can be purchased for 8 RC in the Market, but you will need the Teahouse Decoration in Teahouse VI.

New Gallery and Registrations

Last updated on 8 April 2015 but please note that ALL items can be found on my Gallery Registration Page and that this post is not complete any longer.

On 18 December, a new Farm was released in Seaside in the form of an Island that must be unlocked by completing six separate Quests, each of which constitutes a sixth part of a Puzzle.  When completed, the Island is available.  With the Island comes a veritable host of new Items to register in the form of Animals, Trees, Machines, Decorations and even Buildings.   These items have been included now in the Gallery List.

If you wish to register an Island Item, YOU MUST BE ON THE ISLAND AND ACCESS THE GALLERY FROM THERE.  You cannot register Island Items from the original Seaside Farm.

The Gallery building is located in the Northwest Corner of the Farm and items are divided into six different categories:

As of the middle of January,  this List is up to date, but note that new Items constantly will be added as they are released.  Decorations and Collections Sets probably will show the greatest number of additions as any new time-restricted Quest usually has Decorations as Rewards.

Note that the Cetegory that will display time-restricted Registration items is the Collections Category.  These are items that include Rewards for time-restricted Quests or Missions.  The Items themselves can be registered individually at any point in time, but some Collections that include these items must be completed within a specific number of days.

Now, there is another matter that is worth mentioning here.  Many players who missed Missions would like to have the final Reward or Collections Reward from those past missions.  They now may appear randomly for 23 hours in the Mystery Shop with a purchase price of 100 Yellow Mystrons.  The Yellow Mystrons can be earned in a variety of ways, but primarily through Circus Contests, aka Activities.  If you complete any activity, you should earn 10 Yellow Mystrons.

If you access your Gallery, you should see descriptions of every Decoration when you tap on any Decoration.  Many now state:  'can be bought in Mystery Shop with Yellow Mystrons' but others will state that they were the 'final Reward' for a specific Quest or Collections Mission.  Do note, however, that the latter CAN show up in the Mystery Shop randomly.  I have seen the Scout Sun for sale and that was a final Reward.  This means that you should not despair if you do not see the item you need immediately... save your Yellow Mystrons and access the Mystery Shop daily!

So far, I have seen the following items in the Mystry Shop, some repeatedly:  Matrioshka, Scout Sun, Yacht, Garden Lantern, Grandma's Bike.  I will keep a record from this point onward and try to post the Items I see.

Collection Sets
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Note that the Collection Sets differ from other categories in the sense that some are time-restricted.  You need to look at the Gallery to see which Collection Sets must be registered immediately.  For example, Picnic Time, Summer Holiday Forest Mystery, Teahouse and Animal Trio all have time limits.   Some of these are Items that had to be obtained as Rewards for completing time-restricted Quests.  I do believe that the time for registration of Forest Mystery has passed.  I registered it immediately so cannot confirm that it has expired but I do know that Teahouse will expire in 12 days, two days after the expiration of the Quest itself.

Registration of any Item takes time.  A different amount of time is needed for each Item.  The Rewards for registration are linked to the Item type, although different amounts can be given for each.  For example, if you register any Tree, you will obtain Watering Cans, but depending on the actual Tree registered, you may gain either 2 Watering Cans or 5 Watering Cans.   In some cases, Super Watering Cans take the place of the ordinary Watering Cans.  Medals are given as well and, in the case of Tree Registration, can vary from 1 Medal to 15 Medals.

Only one Item can be registered at a time.  In order to register any Item, it must be placed on your Farm.  You go to the Gallery to find the Item you wish to register, then tap on 'Register'.  You will be taken to the Item and you then must tap on the actual Item itself to begin the registration process.  It can take a few minutes or it can take longer.  Every item has its own registration time.

Once registered, you will see 'Completed' with the actual date of registration beneath the icon of the Item.  Items can appear in more than one category if they are part of a 'Collection'.  For example, the Forest Mystery Collection includes the Quince Tree, the Haystack and the Shelter.  The Rewards for completing a Collection are the greatest.  For the Forest Mystery Collection, you will receive 5 Medals, 88 Green Mystron and 1 RC.  Some Collections, particularly those related to time-restricted Missions, must be completed within a specific number of days.

Autumn Special: 509 Coins, 1 XP

Strategies for Mission
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ordinarily, I would advise players to complete the Collections Mission first as the Rewards are needed to complete the traditional Quest sequence.  Here, however, although the Rewards ARE needed, some of the traditional Quest tasks are the same as the Items required to produce the Marbles in the Collections Mission.

For example, in Forest Mystery II, you need to harvest 40 Cabbage.  Cabbage is one of the items that produces Marbles.  You need 70 Green Marbles that appear randomly when Cabbage is harvested.  Why complete the Collections Mission for the Marbles then before Forest Mystery II?

Likewise, you need to produce 50 Veggie Burgers in Forest Mystery IV.  Veggie Burgers are the Item that randomly yields the Yellow Marbles.   You need 30 Yellow Marbles to complete the Collections Mission.  You will need a Quince Tree on your Farm to complete Farm Mystery IV, but why not produce the 50 Veggie Burgers FIRST?

With no more than a cursory glance at the list of Tasks, I can see that an awful lot of Sugar will be required in the course of completing the traditional Quest sequence.  You will need Sugar for every sort of 'Candy' made in the Candy Machine as well as for the Sugar Popcorn.

Apart from the immense load of Cabbages you will need to grow for the Collections Mission, you will need a fair number of Tomatoes, both for the Veggie Burgers and for the 50 Ketchup required in Forest Mystery II.  Another Crop that will be needed in some quantity is Rice, both for the Peacock that produces the Blue Marbles randomly in Peacock Feather harvests and for the Turkey to make the Turkey Meat required for the Suffed Turkey Recipe.

Use your Baker to make Wheat Bread in quantity.  You will need it both for the random number of Veggie Burgers required to produce Yellow Marbles and for the Cheeseburgers required as one of the traditional Quest tasks.

Story of Forest Mystery
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Offhand, I do not see any direct cultural basis for the plot of this time-restricted Mission.  It is more like the regular Missions than other time-restricted Quests in that sense.  There appears to be some tie to the legend of Robin Hood in that Felicia is dressed like Robin Hood and makes a reference to stealing from the rich to give to the poor.  The 'sweets' or 'candy' appears to be connected to Hallowe'en, albeit in a tenuous fashion.

Let us hope they will have another time-restricted Mission closer to Hallowe'en and one this time that involves the very ancient Festival of Samhain, when the dead were honoured.  Last year's Hallowe'en Mission involved monsters more than ancient traditions, so it would not be a repeat of that.  I very much enjoy all the cultural missions from various parts of the globe and would like to see that trend continue.
