Recently, the traditional Quest sequences have been divided into three parts, each of which consists of four steps. At the end of each part, the farmer receives a special Reward with the usual Coin and XP Reward. This Quest is no exception. At the end of Work Hard Dance Hard IV, the farmer will receive the usual Special Mission Gift Box. At the end of Work Hard Dance Hard VIII, the farmer will receive a special Flower Stand Decoration for the original Seaside Farm. It is the final part that requires access to the Island and the special Reward for completing Work Hard Dance Hard XII, the farmer will receiva a special Swan Lake Decoration for the Island Farm.
If a player has not reached the point where he/she can gain access to the Island, the tasks that require access can be skipped by using RC. It will require a tremendous amount of RC, however! Note that not all of the Tasks in Work Hard Dance Hard IX through XII are Island Tasks but many are.

Transport of 6 Starfish Mirrors will take over an hour to complete, by the way, making it more advantageous to do it early. Note that each Wooden Plank takes 10 minutes to craft on the Island. Make them in advance if you haven't sufficient in your Barn.

Strategies for Quest
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The speed with which you can complete any time-restricted Quest without using precious RC depends partly on your own Level in the game. If, however, you are willing to spend RC to complete the Quest, you will find that many tasks can be completed quite quickly. Some of the shortcuts that can be used if you spend RC are Batch Production and the purchase of the new Birch Tree rather than waiting to complete the labour-intensive Collections Mission. With 7 RC, you can buy the Tree in the Market, place it and have the 6 Birch Tree Syrups that you need for one of the tasks before you reach that point in the Quest sequence.
Batch production can be expensive and it is here that the value of visiting Neighbours to clean their Decoraitons is apparent. The items that you receive in any Cleaning Gift Box always are random but often include OP needed for Batch Production and Power needed for the Kitchen and Island Workshop. There is an Island Expansion that will give you access to a Volcano that produces Power as well but having a fairly new second farm has made me aware of the difficulties and expense of reaching that goal on the Island! On my first farm, I did complete all expansions as quickly as possible, often using RC to skip tasks for which I did not have sufficient Dev Points, mainly in order to write my Island Guide. On my second farm, I cannot justify such wanton expenditure of money!
Note that Batch Production for the Seaside Farm is far less expensive than Batch Production for the Island. If you have to choose, use it for the original Farm as you will obtain more for your OP that way.
There are three ways to speed Machine Production. The first requires no OP and simply consists of placing more than one Machine on your farm, operating them all at the same time manually. The second is by using the Automatic Production which is more expensive than Batch Production and is good only if you wish to remove a Machine from your Farm to store it but still have ingredients in it. The third is Batch Production. Batch Production is not instantaneous by any means and there are two ways to speed that. One requires extra OP and can prove expensive. By going into the Batch Production, you can see how many minutes are left to complete the Batch and use extra OP to complete it early. There is another way, however, that costs nothing more than the same amount of OP you need to make the items in Batch Production in the first place. Simply use more than one Machine and split the total in half between them. You thus need only half the time to make the total number of products in Batch Production.
In any event, one of the keys to early completion is to read all the task and try to collect all necessary ingredients for Kitchen and Beauty Shop recipes before you reach the task that requires them. If you have access to the Island, you will find that ingredients from the mainland Seaside Farm are needed. This involves transport which always takes time. Transport of Crops such as Lavender and Grapes are fairly quick as each takes only 1 minute, but transport of the 6 Starfish Mirrors needed for a Workshop task of creating Make-up Boxes will take over an hour, the same time needed to transport 60 Lavender or 60 Grapes! Doing so early thus becomes extremely helpful, especially if you do not have more than 2 Zeppelins at your disposal.
As I have written again and again, it is a good idea to make the 'Basic' Ingredient Recipes whenever you can for future use. These include the Condensed Milk that is required for two different tasks, one being a Kitchen Recipe and the other an item crafted in the Beauty Shop. Other 'Basic' ingredients include Cottage Cheese and Batter. Honey Syrup is another 'Basic' that always should be kept in stock.
Note that some of the simpler Recipes require a large number of ingredients, including Honey, Cheddar Cheese and Milk, three items that can be requested as Free Gifts on a daily basis from your Neighbours. Bear in mind the fact that you will need special Items in the course of the traditional Quest sequence that only can be obtained from your Neighbours. There are a total of 30 such Items: 10 Old Ballerina Photos in Work Hard Dance Hard IV and 20 Warm Cute Socks in Work Hard Dance Hard X. Neighbours do not respond to requests instantly in every case. There are time differences as well as other individual schedules. I never request ANY free gifts on Thursday before any time-restricted Quest is scheduled to begin the next day as you only can request 1 gift from any Neighbour every 24 hours. I have more than enough Neighbours to cover requests for 30 special items but I usually triple the request number to speed completion.
Likewise, one of the Island tasks is to complete 6 Helicopter Orders. Although some of the items required in Orders may be Island items, for the most part you will find that you need Seaside Items. Make and transport these as early as possible so as not to delay the completion of this task more than necessary. Remember that each Helicopter Order takes time as it is another form of transport and I believe it takes about 20 minutes. Even if you have all the items needed, therefore, it will take a couple of hours to complete 6 Orders for the task.
For the new Recipes, all of which are used in Quest tasks, you will need some ingredients that can be made in advance, including Cottage Cheese and Caramel Honey Sauce.
