Secret Agent Darryl Time-Restricted Quest and Bow Tie Collections Mission

As usual, the new time-restricted Quest includes both a traditional Quest sequence of 16 parts and a Collections Mission.  The reward for the Collections Mission is another Collectable in the form of a Black Caviar Barrel which means it does not appear in the market at this point in time and can be obtained solely by completing the Collections Mission.

The first half of the traditional Quest will give you an additional Reward in the form of the Ice Rock, which is the third Material required for the Ice Base.  Each step will give you 1 Ice Rock which means that you will have them all when you complete Secret Agent Darryl 8.

As usual, the second half of the Quest sequence has tasks that require access to the Island.  One requires access to the Botanic Garden.

Note that two of the premium Trees that are required for the Collections Mission and as an ingredient for a Cooked Dish given as a Task in the traditional Quest sequence can be purchased as part of a special Offer now that includes two of the new Decorations that are classified as Theme-related for the current Farm Beauty Contest.  Unfortunately, although the Guarana Bush needed for the Collections Mission is paired with the Fish Ice Pond Decoration, the Date Tree is not paired with the other new Theme Decoration but is sold in a separate package that gives you the Snowflake Fences that you can purchase currently in the Market.  Note that you will need a Sorbus Tree as well for some Recipes included in the traditional Quest sequence.

You will need another 'collectable' in the form of the Herb Garden, initially released as the reward for another Collections Mission but now sold in the Market for 3 RC.  Many of the 'Collectables' are not used often but the Herb Garden is one of those that is required again and again.  You will need another product from a Collectable in the form of Coriander for a task at the very end.  You will need a total of 16 Coriander or you can skip the task for 6 RC.

Strategy Suggestions

They are making these Missions more difficult to complete quickly even for high level players.  In this particular Quest sequence, you will find Recipes that use a lot of Black Caviar, the product of the 'Collectable' Black Caviar Bush that is the Reward for completing the Collections Mission.  Moreover, you need more than 1 Caviar for each Dish.

Caviar Toast: 1 Cream Cheese Bagel and 2 Black Caviar
Scallops with Caviar: 1 Dried Scallop and 3 Black Caviar
Scallops with Potato Pancakes and Caviar: 1 Potato Pancake and 1 Scallops with Caviar

In other words, you will spend a lot of RC if you skip these Dishes and you will need the second Dish in order to prepare the third.  Although the Black Caviar Barrel randomly can produce up to 6 Black Caviar every three hours, it still is a LOT of Caviar that is needed.  I therefore suggest that farmers complete the Collections Mission as early as possible in order to be able to start stocking the Caviar you will need.
