The complexion of Family Farm Seaside truly is changing with an increased focus on the new options that require almost constant interaction such as the Stove House, the Boats on the Island and the Flea and E Markets. I personally do not care for the changes but will try to continue to cover this game, primarily because I still love my farms...
The two Decorations that are the final Rewards for completing Punkrock Darryl 8 and Punkrock Darryl 16 both are for the original Seaside Farm, sadly enough. It appears they no longer are giving us the more valuable Island Decorations! These Decorations respectively are the Small Drum Set and the Big Drum Set, following the same pattern as the last time-restricted Mission that gave us both a small and a large Drinks Cart.
For the first time, the reward for completing the Collections Mission is a Stove House Recipe rather than a Tree or Collectable.
Premium Items: You will need quite a few premium Trees to complete the tasks as well as the Collections Mission, requiring a Butternut Squash Tree. The premium Trees include the Golden Peach and Pecan Trees. All are being offered as part of current sales packages. For the Island Tasks, you will need a completed Hot Dog Machine, as well as Pie Machine, Dehydrator and Essential Oils Machine.
Note that you will receive the usual Coins and XP when you complete any Part of the Punkrock Darryl Mission but you will receive an additional reward in the form of an Activity Bag that contains 20 Activity Tokens as well as 5 OP and 200 Coins.
Colourful Ukulele Collections Mission
Collect 70 Green Ukuleles from Green Lettuce
Collect 50 Blue Ukuleles from Duck Eggs
Collect 30 Red Ukuleles from Veggie Burgers
Collect 10 Pink Ukuleles from Butternut Squash
Reward: Recipe for Happy Summer Smoothie
Note that the two new Decorations in the form of Small Drum Kit and Big Drum Kit form a new Collections Set with a Butternut Squash Tree once all are registered. You will find the Collections Set in the Lighthouse and will receive 1 RC, 88 Green Mystrons and 1 Clam Friendship Flower for having all three registered items.
Strategies
xxxxxxxxx
If you cannot perform the Island tasks, it is better not to pay the RC needed to skip the tasks as the price of skipping the task of producing 60 Dried Kiwi with the Dehydrator is 30 RC. You do not receive an Island Decoration at the end of the Quest sequence but only another mainland Decoration. The real reason to perform as many of the tasks as possible is for the Activity Bags that give you 20 Activity Tokens each. There now are three Decorations in the Activity Mystery Shop and no doubt one or more will be featured as Theme Decorations in the next Beauty Contest.
Another strategy point is to register as many items as possible not only for the Collection Set reward but for the next Beauty Contest. You do receive a Friendship Flower when you register THIS Collection Set in the Lighthouse.
The best way to obtain premium Trees quickly is to buy them as part of a special sales package even though it costs real money. You usually receive a Decoration that can be cleaned and may be a Theme Decoration in the upcoming or current Farm Beauty Contest. Some Decorations sold with packages will give Blue Mystrons, Yellow Mystrons or RC for a few days when cleaned as well. If you do not have the Butternut Squash Tree, buy it as part of the special package currently on sale. You can find premium Trees in the Green Mystrons Shop randomly as well.
Preparation Strategies
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Once upon a time, players were able to make 'basic' recipe items in advance, during the downtimes between time-restricted Missions. We no longer have that luxury really. With the Coffee House Orders, the Cooking Stand Contests, the Boat Orders and Daily Order Board, not to mention the Stove House, even veteran farmers are hard-pressed to keep up with all the demands that the game now imposes on us. If you like Zynga games like Castleville and FarmVille Country Escape, you probably will welcome all the busy work. If you are like me, however, and enjoyed the idea of having a peaceful sanctuary where you could grow beautiful and useful crops, then make them into whatever you wished to produce, the game has become increasingly stressful and less fun, frankly. Yes, thank God for my Facebook Groups where members of Freyashawk Family Farm Seaside Groups always can find active neighbours and Buddies to reciprocate when the game demands this sort of global participation. On the other hand, some of us miss the old days and I wish that FunPlus would realise how many veteran players they have lost in the past few months by piling these endless tasks upon us.
Farm Aids
xxxxxxxxx
For new players in particular, the Special Daily Deal is a necessity. Go to the Market every day to purchase 5 Power for 5000 Coins and 100 OP for 5000 Coins. You can purchase an additional 5 Power then for 1 RC and an additional 100 OP for 1 RC if you need these.
