Neighbours' Day Quests

A new time-restricted Quest has been released in Family Farm Seaside.

At the same time, there is a special purchase in a sale that requires access both to the Island itself and to the Garden there, which means that it is available only to fairly advanced Farmers. 

At present, you can purchase a Macaron Friendship Flower through your provider and place it on a Neighbour's Farm, provided you have unlocked your Greenhouse.    I think this sale has been released because it is so slow to advance in the Garden to the point where you can breed your own Friendship Flower.  The Friendship Flower that can be purchased must be placed first in your Greenhouse and then on a Neighbour's Farm.

The whole procedure is a little vexing as Neighbours do not always have an unlocked plot available for your Friendship Flower.  You first have to find an unlocked plot on a Neighbour's farm and then hope that the Neighbour is an active player.


At the same time, in the actual market, you can purchase, under the Decorations Category, a Duck Habitat which is involved in the Neighbours' Day Quest.  Evidently, this quest will run until 3 June.

The Duck Habitat, once placed, must be built with the following:

100 Duck Habitat Leaf (Leaves) (Request from Neighbours)
10 Duck Habitat Lotus Leaf  (Random item inside Cooking Stand Bag)
5 Duck Habitat Lotus Flowers  (Quest reward)

Once completed, the Duck Habitat will become a Cleanable Decoration that yields a Silver Gift Box

Incidentally, as the Duck Habitat Lotus Leaf is a random result and you have a limit at present of 42 Cooking Stand Gift Bags, I obtained only 5 from all 42 of mine.  Evidently, you CANNOT buy the Duck Habitat Lotus Leaf materials, as 'Finish Building'  is applicable only when you have all the materials.  It is very annoyiing to discover that OTHER Farmers were able to complete theirs in a single day.  I have 'eaten' the maximum number of Neighbour Dishes at their Cooking Stands for the day and only have half of the required Lotus Leaf materials for the Habitat.  I suppose the entire point of this Quest was to force Farmers to visit their Neighbours to eat their Dishes... but still... Later:  It took me two days to complete the Habitat and I had to use all 42 of my Cooking Bags each day to do so.

New Gallery Registration Items
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is kind of important if you are the sort of player who wishes to have all Gallery Items.  There is a sale running through 1 June that offers the Macaron Friendship Flower that can be placed on a Neighbours' Farm provided all requirements are met.  For those players who think that a single purchase suffices, think again.  If you wish to earn the Sppon Shovel Decoration, you must purchase 8 of these.  To earn the Macaron Flower Decoration, you have to purchase 10 of these.   Furthermore, purchase is not enough to earn the Decorations.  You will earn them only when you have OPENED a total of 8 and 10 packages respectively.  A Macaron Friendship Flower package cannot be opened until you have a free spot in your Greenhouse.  The number of spots depend on your Garden Level.  I try to interact with my garden constantly but I only have 1 spot in my Greenhouse so far.  At Level 15, one gains another spot...  As of 31 May, you still have 31 days to complete the Macaron Flower Collection, but I think that lower level players and even mid-level players like myself may be hard-pressed to do this.  The developers erred where this particular goal is concerned by making it far too difficult.  Perhaps I will contact them.  After all, they listened when I begged for the return of the Iris, albeit they brought it back as a temporary Crop once again!

Crossbreeding Neighbour Flowers
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I should have sussed this out long ago but failed to do so, as I continued to tend my Neighbours' Friendship Flowers on my farm without ever crossbreeding them.  I thought that one had to crossbreed between NEIGHBOUR Flowers, which is not the case at all.  You crossbreed a Neighbour's Flower with one of your own Mature Flowers.  Unfortunately, the Flowers MUST be of the same level so if your mature flowers are Level 3 and your mature Friendship Neighbour's Flower is Level 1, you will have to wait until one of your Level 1 Flowers matures.

I think many players have missed this as my Friendship Flowers on Neighbour farms matured long ago and nothing has been done with them.  Great pity....  Ah well, live and learn!



Decoration Warehouse Changes
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This has nothing whatsoever to do with the Neighbours' Day Quest or sale but I encountered it while attempting to clear a few Decorations temporarily from my farm today.  With 190 Slots in my Warehouse, I had thought I would have no trouble, but in fact was allowed to store only 5 under the new system!

Note:  I had noticed the change in the Warehouse some time ago but did not realise that, even with my Warehouse maxed out at 190 Storage, I could not store more than 5 Decorations!  In order to allow storage of more Decorations, you now must expand the 'Decoration' part of the Warehouse by requesting Goods Shelves from your Neighbours or paying 1 RC for each of these.  You need 5 to expand from the original 5 slots to 10 and 20 to expand from 10 to 15.  To expand to 20, you need the following:

20 Goods Shelf (Request from Neighbour or pay 1 RC for each)
2 Fire Extinguisher  (3 RC Each)
5 Wooden Panels (Craft on Island or pay 1 RC each)
10 Nails (Craft on Island or pay 1 RC for each)
