Happy New Year Time-Restricted Quest and Memory Jar Collections Mission

The New Year traditionally is a time of endings and new beginnings.  In many cultures, this is defined by rituals of purification (sweeping the house and sending dirt and dust out the door), special foods and objects that represent prosperity (lentils are mentioned in the course of the traditional Quest sequence as a symbol of wealth as they look like coins) and 'resolutions' or promises of future behaviour.  The 'Memory Jars' in the Collections Mission represents the 'New Year Resolution' concept.  This particular Quest is interesting because it involves all four Characters, one after the other.


Wishing all farmers a very Happy New Year!  May you enjoy good health, prosperity and joy throughout the coming year!  Thanks to your support and votes, Harvest Moon FDC ranked ninth globally in the last Farm Beauty Contest and I actually received one of the Trophies.  A temporary Trophy but even so, quite a thrill... so grateful to you for your Votes and hope you will consider voting for me in the next Contest as well.

A new time-restricted Quest has been released on New Year's Eve.  Odd timing, but in any case, it combines the usual Collections Mission with a traditional Quest sequence.

Memory Jar Collections Mission

Collect 70 Green Memory Jars from Green Beans
Collect 50 Yellow Memory Jars from Turkeys
Collect 30 Pink Memory Jars from Love Cakes
Collect 10 Blue Memory Jars from Juniper Bush

Reward: Lentil Bush

The Lentil Bush is a 'Collectable' which means one cannot buy it in the Market at this point.  It produces a random number of Lentils every 3 hours.  You will need to place the Lentil Bush as a task in Happy New Year 9 as well as making a Cooked Dish that requires a total of 12 Lentils.  You can use RC to skip these tasks of course.

New Gallery Missions

Note on 4 September:  All Gallery Missions now moved to the Lighthouse.

There is a tab in the Gallery that gives you access to something initially called the 'Time Machine'. 


The rewards from these missions are placed on the Bird House Base which you can purchase in the Market for 25 RC.  You can buy a second Bird House Base for 40 RC.  The Charm Point value of the Decoration is 5 Charm even when unfinished (empty).

Note that you can perform these Missions and place the Decorations directly on your Farm without ever purchasing the Bird Home Base.  I do believe that the Charm Value of the Decorations combined with the Bird Home Base may be greater when the items are placed within it, but that needs confirmation.  The Bird Home Base does have a large footprint so you will need space on your farm for it.  It rather defeats the purpose therefore to place Decorations outside of it if you have purchased it.  If not, however, it is good to know that the little Decorations can be obtained without having it and can be placed directly on your Farm. 

You can place a total of four stackable Bird Decorations on the Bird Bases but each has a specific spot allocated to it.  Therefore, if two have been given the same spot, you must choose between them.  For example, the Hamster Friend and the Mini Water Pump occupy the same location so you can have only one on a single Bird Base.  Unfortunately, it is the Bird House that appears to initiate most of the animations and it can be placed only on one Base.  With the Bird Seesaw, it will cause a little yellow bird to come out of the house to join the other yellow bird on the seesaw.  They will go up and down on it.  With the Mini Water Pump, Bird Ball Pool and Bird Pool in place,  it is the Blue Bird that comes out of the house and who first will float on a ball in the large pool, will fly to the top of the pump to use it, go down to the water to drink, return to the pump handle to roost, fall asleep and tumble down into the Ball Pool where all you will see are a few floating blue feathers afterwards.  The Hamster when placed on the Base with the Bird House has a friend who exits the house, eats from the food stand and then goes back inside. The Hamster Friend does a little somersault within the wheel and then begins to run on the wheel.  As you can see, the Bird House is the Decoration that initiates the various little animations.

There are some additional Decorations associated with the Bird Bases that have not been released yet.  One of them is another house.  It is possible that having two houses would allow one to experience two of the sequences at once.  At present, however, you have to choose whether to pair the Bird House with the Seesaw, the Hamster Friend or the Mini Water Pump.

The Gallery is not unlocked until you reach Level 5. Although you can purchase the Bird Home Base in the Market for 25 RC even at that Level, the Time Machine missions will not be unlocked until you reach Level 18.

Your will find the first four Gallery Missions below the new ones.

Four new Gallery Quests have been released.  All Tasks are posted below.  The Missions are:

Neighbour's Day Reward: 5 Medals and Inflatable Chair

Japanese Wonder: Reward:: 5 Medals and  Hamster Friend

Midsummer Night: Reward: 5 Medals and Bird Hot Air Balloon

Felicia's Wonderland.  Reward: 5 Medals and  Mini Water Pump

For all the Missions except one, once activated, you have three days to complete the section of the Mission that has been activated.  This will be HALF of the Mission actually in most cases.  Each of the Missions is in two parts except for the Japanese Wonder Mission which is in THREE parts, the final part being given four days to complete.

Be advised again that once you begin one of this Missions, you will not have access to any other time-restricted Mission.  What this means in effect is that, if Family Farm Seaside keeps to its usual schedule, the regular time-restricted Mission will begin on Friday and it would be best to have completed whatever Gallery Mission you have started by then.  Gallery Missions are in two parts, and you can complete the first part and delay the performance of the second if you feel you have insufficient time.

Once activated, the Mission is accessed through a new icon that will appear on the left of your screen.  These Missions are linked to the 2nd Bird Base that is sold in the Market, but you can complete them without purchasing the Bird Base first.  You can place them on the 1st or 2nd Bird Base in any case and can combine them with Decorations from the first four Quests, although I suspect the animation is triggered only by specific combinations.   Moreover, you can place the Decorations you earn on your farm directly although they will not be cleanable.  Only the Bird Base is cleanable and gives a Blue Box.

So far, I placed the Hamster Friend on the 2nd Base and all it does is a little somersault... I transferred the Bird Ball Pool from the 1st base and added that, but it has no effect.  On the 1st Base, it really is the Farm Bird House and the Seesaw that together have the best animation.  The little birds go up and down on the Seesaw and the Bird slides out of the house.  

As with previous Gallery Missions, this is a cooperative venture, and I thank the members of my group, Family Farm Seaside Freyashawk for their help in logging tasks.  I usually do everything by myself but in this case, I feel it is more beneficial if visitors are able to see all the new Quests to decide which they wish to pursue first and that means I need help from my group members as you only can perform one time-restricted Mission at a time.  I have a fantastic group and appreciate their efforts here immensely.

How to Complete any Part of a Gallery Mission
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Gallery Missions are divided into two or three parts.  When you complete any Part of the Mission, you no longer will see the icon that represented it on your screen.  Go then to the Gallery and find the page with the Mission on it.  You will see a new item on the right page.  Each item has a slot on the left page that has its form.  Drag the item that is on the right page into the slot on the left side of the page.  You then will have completed that part of the Mission.  You can activate the next part by tapping on the next empty slot on the left page or you can wait, depending on your own schedule.  Remember that you have 3 days to complete any part of a Gallery Mission except in the case of Part III of the Japanese Wonder Mission, the only one with three parts and for which you are given four days to complete the final third.

Planning for Gallery Missions
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Gallery Missions tend to require the same items again and again.  As you have limited time to complete any part of a Mission once it is activated, it is best to make certain that you have adequate stocks of the items you will need in advance.  Making certain that you have Beef and Turkey on hand will help with a couple of the Missions as will large amounts of Eggs and Sugar.  It always is a good idea to keep as much Cake Flour, Batter, Soft Dough and Condensed Milk in your Barn as you can.

There are other items that will be needed for specific Gallery Missions.  For the Midsummer's Mission for example, you will need Wool and Yeast.  In one of the steps in the Felicia's Wonderland Mission, you will have to make two separate Dishes that both require more than 1 Spice each!   Before all the new updates were released, I always had more Yeast and other 'Collectable' items than I felt I ever would need.  Sadly, my stock in everything has been much depleted of late.  It now is a good idea to invest in the temporary Collectables such as Yeast Barrel, Spice Rack and Soy Sauce Barrel on a regular basis as everything is needed more often than it once was.

Placement on Bird Base
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Although you can place Decorations from any of the Gallery Quests on the Bird Bases, as with any base, they do require a specific spot on the base.  Thus, if you wish to place the Bird Hot Air Balloon, you cannot place the Bird Pool on the same base as they both occupy the same spot.  It is the same with respect to the Hamster Friend and the Bird Seesaw.  You must choose between one and the other.

My comment to the Easter Bunny Genie: What pink eggs, dear chap?

This marks the end of the first part of the Quest. Go to the Easter Bunny Genie page and swipe the icon of the Green Bunny on the lower corner of the right page into the top empty Bunny slot on the left page to receive your Reward.  You then need to tap on the second empty Bunny slot on the left page to activate the second part of the Quest.

It looks like you have everything!  I'm so excited!  But how will we transport all the eggs you found?  We need baskets!

Excellent!   Go to Gift Box to see your Toy Bunny on Bike.  Let's transport  the Easter Eggs!

In fact, this declaration has no meaning.  You need to go back to the Gallery to find the Easter Bunny Genie Quest page, and swipe the Pink Bunny on the right page over to the top of the left page into the empty slot.  When you have done this, you will be able to find the Bird Seesaw in your Gift Box with 50 Green Mystrons  but you will not receive the Toy Bunny on Bike Decoration at all.  The Bird Seesaw  is worth 3 Charm by itself.  Place it directly on the farm first to register it in the Gallery and then move it into the Bird Home Base, using the puzzle piece icon to place it properly.

COMPLETED!
