Home Sweet Home Quest and Pine Cones Collection Mission

A new 11-day time-restricted Quest has been released in the form of 'Home Sweet Home' traditional Quest sequence and a Pine Cone Collections Mission.  The Home Sweet Home sequence has 16 parts as is usual now, with the Quest basically divided in half with the second half requiring access to the Island.  After you complete Home Sweet Home 8, you will receive a special Male Thanksgiving Owl Decoration for your original Seaside Farm.  When you complete Home Sweet Home 16, you will receive a special Female Thanksgiving Owl Decoration for your Island Farm.  What a pity that the two will be separated forever!

Although the second half cannot be completed without access to the Island or an enormous outlay of RC to skip Island Tasks, in fact, there are no Island Tasks before Home Sweet Home 11.  You will find that you not only need a Hotdog Machine to complete the Quest but sufficient Mastery of it to make Turkey Hotdogs.

The Reward for the Collections Mission this time is a Tree, after a number of Collections Missions that had Collectables for their Rewards.  What this means is that, should you choose to skip the Collections Mission, you can purchase the Butternut Squash Tree in the Market instead for 10 RC.

Note:  For Kindle users, the Thanksgiving items finally have reappeared in the Gallery for registration.  If you had registered them previously before their disappearance, you will not be required to register them again.

Strategies for Mission
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Go through the lists of ingredients for the various tasks and, if the items required do not appear as Tasks themselves, try to make them in advance.  One item that you will need but which is not a Task in itself is the 60 Turkey Sausages that must be transported to the Island and then used to make Turkey Hotdogs.  Make the Turkey Sausages and then transport them before you reach Home Sweet Home 15 where one of the Tasks is to transport 60 Turkey Sausages.

Understandably, given the fact that Turkey is traditional for Thanksgiving feasts, it is featured very heavily in this Quest but in fact, you will need far more Turkey and Rice than you may realise. Although there is a task that requires you to produce Turkey and another that requires you to harvest Rice, the quantities are far less than that needed to make all the Dishes required by other tasks or to feed the Turkey in order to produce all the Meat you will need.

Tremendous amounts of Power are needed in Home Sweet Home, not only for Kitchen Recipes but to produce Items in the Island Workshop.  For those players who either do not have access to the Island or who cannot complete all Island tasks, it is good to see that the cost of skipping any Island task is far less than it was with respect to the time-restricted Quest that preceded this one.

The difference between a Collections Mission with a Reward that is a 'Collectable' and one that is a Tree is enormous in its effects.  For a start, you can choose to skip the Collections and purchase the Tree instead, where a Collectable never will br to compee found in the Market until the Quest has expired and sometimes not even then.  Furthermore, you cannot speed a Collectable's Harvest where you can use Super Watering Cans and ordinary Watering Cans on any tree.  It therefore becomes far easier to complete any tasks that require the item that is harvested from the Collections Mission Reward.
