There is yet another update to Family Farm Seaside now. In some instances, players will find their games updated automatically but in most cases, you may have to go to your app store to download and install it... at least for the first day or so. It probably will be automatic after that.
For many players, the most welcome aspect of the update is the ability to expand your farm one more time.
31 by 31 Farm Expansion
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The last farm expansion has the following requirements:
To purchase the 31 by 31 expansion, you need:
Increase Landscape Points to 2000 Points
Save and use 4000000 Coins to buy the expansion
(Whatever coins you have will count towards this requirement and if you wish to purchase rather than earn, you must exchange your RC for TC in order to do it)
Produce 500 Red Eggs to buy expansion
(Red Eggs are produced via a Gadget for the Chicken Coop. You can opt out of this by paying 35 RC instantly or you can buy Red Eggs in the Flea Market when offered if you have not increased your Chicken Coop upgrader to the Level required to use it. Your Chicken Coop upgrader must be at Level 3 to be able to place the Red Egg Gadget on it. The Red Egg Gadget is purchased in the Blue Mystron Mystery Shop for 300 Blue Mystrons.)
Jam Machine Upgrader
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Another addition is the Jam Machine Upgrader.
All Upgraders are found in the Market in a tab marked upgrader. The Jam Machine Upgrader is found in the Machine department and costs 3000 Coins. Place it on your farm and then place your Jam Machine on it using the Jigsaw puzzle icon in the Move Tools Menu. You then must satisfy the requirements to upgrade the Upgrader.
Upgraders are limited in their use. You cannot use Batch Production on a Machine or Animal when it is placed on an Upgrader. Extra Product Gadgets do not work with Goldfinger. You can use OP to speed individual production by paying 10 OP for each but I always considered that a bit wasteful myself.
To upgrade it to Level 1:
Produce 100 Jam
20000 Coins
3 Cement Barrels
Cement Barrels cost 1 RC each or can be obtained in the Blue Mystrons Mystery Shop for 5 Blue Mystrons each. You only will be able tp purchase 1 per day.
To upgrade Jam Machine Upgrader to Level 2:
Produce 250 Products
32000 Coins
10 Cement Barrels (Pay 1 RC each or buy in Blue Mystrons Shop for 5 Blue Mystrons each)
30 Tool Kits
Request from Neighbours or pay 1 RC for each)
To upgrade it to Level 4:
1000 Jam
128,000 Coins
50 Cement Barrels
Pay 1 RC for each or purchase in Blue Mystrons Shop for 5 Blue Mystrons each. You only will be able to purchase one per day.
150 Tool Kits
Gadgets for Jam Machine
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Gadgets for any Upgrader can be purchased even before they can be used, but to place them, you will have to have upgraded your Upgrader to the appropriate Level. The Gadgets for the new Jam Upgrader are:
Super Jam Container
Level 2 Gadget
Add and Collect 2 more products
Cost: 35 RC
Extra Jam Gadget
Level 5 Gadget
Get an additional product by chance
Cost: 25 RC
Jam Container
Level 2 Gadget
Add and Collect one more product
Cost: 150 Red Mystrons
Cinnamon Jam Gadget
Level 3 Gadget
You can produce Cinnamon Jam
500 Red Mystrons
Love Fruit Jam Gadget
Level 3 Gadget
300 Blue Mystrons
Jello Pudding Gadget
Level 5 Gadget
300 Blue Mystrons
Jam Machine Upgrader Themes
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You can purchase Themes for your Upgraders. Themes change the appearance of the Upgrader but again, you need to have the Upgrader at the appropriate Level.
Orange Theme
Level 4 Gadget
150 Purple Mystrons
Gallery Registration of Gadgets and Themes
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Note that all Gadgets and Theme items can be registered in your Gallery and each has a specific Charm Point value, although Charm Points are no longer that important in Seaside.
Buddy Levels
xxxxxxxxxxxx
This may have occurred earlier than this update but as I did not acquire any new Buddies for awhile, I was unaware of it. Now you can reach Level 1 with a new Buddy with only 50 Buddy Points instead of 100.
Pets
xxxx
Pets now can be fed while they are bargaining with Guests... what this means is that you can have auto-bargain now without worrying about the Pet losing all Stamina as long as you go into the game occasionally to replenish any energy needed by your Pets.
Spooky Landscape
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yes, they added a spooky Landscape to the outer borders of your farm, in the areas you cannot change. You can go into your Settings and turn this on and off. I am a little disappointed actually as in previous years, they actually added a spooky decoration to specific farm items including the Dutch Mill and the Milky White Fence. This has not been done this year, but the farm expansion is more important really!
Farm Aids from Felicia
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Another Gift of some farm aids and RC from Felicia. Find it in your Messages where you find Messages about your Buddies.
3rd Cooking Contest Round
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Nothing to do with the actual update but the 3rd Round of the current Cooking Contest includes a Stove House Recipe in the form of the Autumn Beef Roast Recipe. This Recipe was given as a Reward in a time-restricted Quest recently. If you did not receive it, you can purchase it in the Market in the Stove House Recipes department for 9 RC. Thankfully, it is a quick dish, taking less than a minute to complete and not complicated like some.
Landscape Point totals and Farm Beauty Contest
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You will find that your Charm Point total now has disappeared from your icon in the Neighbours Tab for votes and has been replaced by Landscape Points. I believe that you may have to take a new photograph for the Farm Beauty Contest in order to update the total from zero on that icon, although your actual Landscape Point total should continue to count towards Character Votes even without a new Photograph.
Another change is in the number of Votes that you can apply to a Neighbour's farm. We are not certain how this is computed, but many farms now are given 6 Votes instead of 3. Others have only 1 additional Vote... It is NOT Level that determines this. I initially thought it was Landscape Point total but must ask other players with less than 6 Votes to give me their Landscape Point totals and the number of Votes that they now are given.
21 October 2016
A Howling Good Time Quest and Werewolf Paws Collections Mission
A new Halloween Quest called 'A Howling Good Time' has been released in tandem with a Collections Mission. The reward for the Collections Mission is another Stove House Recipe.
Collect Werewolf Paws
Reward: Punch Bowl with Eyes Recipe
Note that, should you wish to have the Recipe without completing the Collections Mission, you will be able to find it in the Market for 9 RC in the Stove House Recipes tab.
Rewards from Quest
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
One of the two special Rewards from the Quest sequence represent the recent shifts in this game. You will receive the Halloween Pet House Ears as one of the Rewards when you complete the first half of the Quest, after Part 8. The other Reward is a Decoration in the form of the Pumpkin Owl obtained at the very end.
To be able to use the Halloween Pet House Ears, you first must tap on them in your Gift Box to move them, then go to the Pet House and tap on the paint brush. You will need a Level 2 Pet House to be able to change its appearance with new Ears of any kind. You need a Level 3 Pet House to be able to add Hair, one of the items that can be purchased with your Activity Tokens.
Premium Items
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You will need some premium Trees for use in Recipes and for harvesting tasks. They include the Spooky Tree (needed for Collections Mission as well as traditional quest sequence), Guarana Tree and White Chocolate Tree. You will need a Bat House in order to obtain Bat Milk. It is a temporary addition to the Animals section of the Market.
For those who are not familiar with the Bat House, it works in the same fashion as the Butterfly House but is linked to different Trees. If you do not have the type of Tree that the Bat will fertilise, you will be unable to obtain Bat Milk from the Bat House. From memory, the Sakura Tree, the Hazel Tree and the Spooky Tree all can be fertilised by the Bats. There may be other Trees I cannot recall at this point... but if you have any of these, the Bat House will produce Bat Milk. When a Tree has been fertilised by the Bats, it will turn orange in the same way as Trees fertilised by Butterflies. You then can harvest the Tree and use Watering Cans to bring it back to the point where the Bats can fertilise it again if you do not wish to wait...
The Halloween Pumpkin has been returned to the Market in the Crops section and will feature in the Quest sequence. You can use it to make Halloween Pumpkin Soup, which is one of the tasks in the sequence as well. The other Halloween Recipes from the past that feature catches with the special Halloween Hook are included in tasks.
Tip about Farm Aids
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
If you are willing to wait for natural harvest times and so on, you can perform this Quest in your own good time, but if not, you will need to use Farm Aids such as Watering Cans and Fertilisers. The Special Deals that are Weekly are refreshed on Friday which means that you can buy another Farming PAckage if you need Farm Aids. The Farming Package contains 200 Organic Fertilisers, 50 Super Fertilisers, 100 Watering Cans and 25 Super Watering Cans. It does cost 15 RC but if you go to the Market, to the Farm Aids department, you will see that the cost of 25 Super Fertilisers is 3 RC, that of 200 Organic Fertilisers is 7 RC, of 200 Watering Cans is 14 RC and 25 Super Watering Cans 6 RC. So it is a good deal IF you need all types of Farming Aids. If you do not need all of that, you might be better off purchasing the type of Farm Aid that you actually need.
Note that you can purchase additional Power and OP on a daily basis in the Daily Special Deals department in the market. The first purchase of Power and OP is a coin purchase. The second purchase of Power is a Coin purchase.
Farm Aids are included in many of the newer rewards, such as the Chests that you open and even when you tend Flowers in the Botanic Garden. Again, you should be able to complete the Quest sequence in 11 days without using too many but if you are impatient, you probably will use them!
Power and OP
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
This Quest may appear to be quite simple on the surface but towards the end, you will need tremendous amounts of OP and Power if you wish to speed the process of completing tasks. Some of the Recipes require a number of ingredients that themselves are Cooked Dishes made from Cooked Dishes.
For example, there is the task of making 8 Chocolate Pave. Here are the ingredients for that:
Each requires 1 Egg Tart and 1 White Chocolate
Each Egg Tart requires 1 Eggnog and 1 Soft Dough
Each Soft Dough is made from 1 Cake Flour and 1 Batter
Each Cake Flour requires 2 Oat Flour and 2 Rye Flour
Each Batter requires 2 Wheat Flour and 1 Egg
In face, there are a number of Dishes that you have to make that use Soft Dough. If you can make it in advance as well as some Batter, you will be in a better situation with respect to quick completion of the Quest.
One of the most difficult tasks for low level players will be that of making 30 Pumpkin Pies. Pumpkin Pie requires full 3 Star Mastery of the Pie Machine on the Island which means that you have to had made a total of 1800 Pies in order to unlock the capacity to make it. The cost of skipping this task is prohibitive as well at 30 RC. So if you do not have 3 Star Mastery of the Pie Machine, you should try to achieve this in the next week.

Spooky Halloween Farm Beauty Contest
N.B. The 'Darryl the Doctor' Mission will be found in the post below this one.
In the past, a farmer had to be at Level 15 or higher in order to participate in the Farm Beauty Contests. I doubt that has changed but need confirmation to be certain.
Balance of Items
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
For new farmers, there are a few basic instructions. You need to organise your farm BEFORE you take the photograph in order to gain the maximum benefit from your design. Have a good balance of Crops, Trees, Animals, Machines, Decorations and now Paths as well. Your design now has to take Landscape Points into account, which means that you need to lay paths and water paths, then place as many Decorations as possible within their sphere of influence. Remember that the maximum number of points for any tile is 50 (for Macaron and Pebble Paths), and therefore, once you have a total of 50 Points from the Path itself and Decorations within the area, more Decorations will not add any more points.
Designing Paths
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Generally speaking, it is better to make a long single-file path surrounding an area filled with Crops, Machines, Trees or a combination of these with Decorations than to place all of your tiles together. To discover the effect a specific Decoration will have on your Landscape Point total, use the Move Tool and hover near the Paths you have set on your Farm. If you have achieved the maximum number of Points for any path, you will see that the Decoration would add zero points if placed in that location. If there is a Path that does not have the maximum points from Decorations in its sphere of influence, you will see the precise number of points that your Decoration will add to the total in that area.
Crop, Tree, Animal, Machine Totals
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
For the Farm Beauty Contest, you need a variety of Crops. It originally was 16 different Crops in order to gain the maximum Votes for your Crops. For Trees, it was 16 different Trees and for Machines, 16 different Machines. I believe that the count was lowered to 13 in later contests, but again must confirm what is needed for THIS contest.
Butterfly Houses, Beehives and the Bat House qualify as 'Animals' for the purpose of the Contest and every different style of Beehive or Butterfly House will count as a different Animal.
Landscape Point Totals
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In previous Contests, Charm was the aspect that three of the Characters prized. Now they prize Landscape Points instead. The Vote category speaks of Beautiful Paths with High Landscape Points. In essence, you need less than 3000 Landscape Points to gain the maximum number of Votes from Felicia, Darryl and Grandma. You do not need more than that. I confirmed this myself. The actual total needed is somewhere between 2000 and 3000. I will confirm that when I can. Rosewood was very low in Landscape Points but today added to the total and with 2320 Landscape Points achieved the maximum of 24/24.
With 1034 Landscape Points, another farmer received 16/24 Votes for Landscape. With 0nly 242 Points, another received 6/24. At 293 one more Vote was acquired for 7/24.
Gallery Registration
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Gallery Registration is central to all the Farm Beauty Contests. If a Theme Decoration has not been registered in the Gallery prior to the point of submitting your Photograph, it usually will not count towards Theme. Furthermore, two of the Characters in the form of Darryl and Grandma give Votes based on the total number of items you have registered in your Gallery. The number required to gain the maximum points in this category is not that high, however. My rather new farm, Asgard, has been able to gain the maxmum in this category (but not in some of the others) and I have not registered that many of my Trees, Animals or Machines, although I have tried to register most Decorations as I acquired them.
I believe that all that counts for the Gallery Vote itself is the number of Gallery Points that you have, earned through obtaining the little round Cow Tokens that are one of the Rewards for every Registration.
524/1250, almost half of the total for filling the third tier (third Cow Token at the top of the Gallery Menu) gives 15/16 Votes for having a g
879/2250, almost half of the fourth Cow Token filled, gives you 16/16. I am trying to find the precise total that gives you the maximum number of Votes for a Great Gallery.
Timing of Snapshot/Photograph
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You have to take an initial photograph of your Farm to enter the Farm Beauty Contest. If you have time to design your Farm on the first day, do so BEFORE you take the photograph, making certain you have maximised all aspects that will give Votes from the four Characters. If you do not have time to organise your Farm, simply take the photograph of it as it stands... better to get some Votes than no Votes. You can take a new photograph every day if you wish.
If you need more Theme Items, make certain that, should you obtain a new one, that you register it BEFORE you take a new photograph of the Farm. Only the items as they appear in the current photograph are counted.
After taking the photograph of your perfected Farm, you can remove anything or change anything without it modifying or changing the Farm Beauty Contest entry. It is only when you submit a new photograph that anything will change. Thus, you try to set up your Farm for maximum Votes in every category, take and submit a photograph of it and then do whatever you need to make your farm more practical for specific tasks, quests or whatever.
Buddies and the Farm Beauty Contests
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Buddy relationship is becoming increasingly important with the release of the Pet option and the ability to feed and/or borrow a Buddy Pet. It has been important for quite some time, however, where the Farm Beauty Contests are concerned. The Buddy Share Box in the Lucky Wheel usually contains a number of Theme Decorations in any current Farm Beauty Contest. If you are not at least a Level 2 Buddy with the farmer who has the Share Box, you will be unable to access it or purchase anything from it.
This Contest is no exception. There are at least 5 Theme Decorations that can be purchased from the Buddy Share Box.
Activity Tokens
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Activity Tokens are being offered simultaneously in different activities now, unlike previous Activity Tokens. You can find them by completing the highlighted Order on the Daily Order Board. Completing that order will give you 15 Activity Tokens. If you refresh, you will be able to net 15 more.
You must fish with the Halloween Hook to receive them when fishing. The Halloween Hook is a temporary Hook that can be found in the regular Hook Menu. It takes 125 Bait to use.
Halloween Hook
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
There is a notice to the effect that, if you fish using the Halloween Hook, you will have a chance to gain Activity Tokens as well as materials for the Halloween Stage. When you use the Halloween Hook, you will catch special Halloween Fish. A couple of these were used in Recipes in the Kitchen back in the day... will have to confirm if those Recipes have reappeared. In any case, you may receive a special Fishing Bag with the Fish you catch.
I received 3 Activity Tokens and a Blueberry Candy in the one I obtained. As I have a completed Halloween Stage from the past, I probably cannot receive any materials for that Baae now, nor would I wish to do so!
The fish you can catch are:
Karken
Humpback Anglerfish
Ghost Jellyfish
Vampire Clam
Skeleton Fish
Skull Anchor (not really a fish)
You will find all of them in the last section of your Fish Book.
If the Jack-O-Lantern Machine is offered in the Market again, you can obtain materials for it in the Yellow Mystrons Shop (one material per day) or by using the Halloween Hook. When
Farm Character Votes
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The fundamental rules of these Beauty Contests remain the same. The difference now for this new Contest is in the substitution of Landscape Points for Charm Points as one of the farm aspects that draw votes from three out of the four Farm Characters.
You now have the following from the Farm Characters:
Felicia:
Theme: Maximum Votes 24/24
Theme Items are given in the red book that you will find in the Main Farm Beauty Contest Menu. Not all Theme items have the same value. Very often a new Decoration will be worth 3 Votes where an old one will be worth only 1. I will list all Theme items below with their values.
Expansion: Maximum 16/16
You do NOT need the largest expansion to obtain the maximum points.
Landscape Points: Maximum: 24/24
Description: Beautiful Paths with high Landscape Points
Note here that a total of 3000 Landscape Points will give you the maximum Votes here.
Animals: Maximum 16/16
Dad:
High Level Farms: Maximum: 16/16
Note that Level 101 gives you 11 points.
Expansion: Maximum: 24/24
Theme: Maximum: 24/24
Machines: Maximum: 16/16
Darryl:
Theme: Maximum: 24/24
Crops: Maximum: 16/16
N.B. Variety here is the key.
Landscape Points: Maximum: 24/24
Gallery Registration: Maximum: 16/16
Grandma:
High Level: Maximum is 16/16
Gallery Registration: MAximum is 16/16
Landscape Points: Maximum is 24/24
Trees: Maximum: 16/16
Variety is the key.

Darryl the Doctor Quest and Doctor's Cases Collections Mission
A new time-restricted Quest in the form of Darryl the Doctor has been released in tandem with a Collections Mission that gives a Eucalyptus Tree as a Reward. if you prefer not to complete the Collections Mission, you can find the Tree in the Market for 9 RC.
Other premium Trees that will be required for the tasks in the traditional Quest sequence include a Pomegranate Tree and a Banana Tree. You will need a Persimmon Tree to complete the Collections Mission.
Collection Set Registration
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
There is only one Decoration this time in the form of the Tea in a Scarf Decoration, and the Collections Set in the Lighthouse reflects this by making the required items two premium Trees and the single new Decoration. The Trees are the Persimmon Tree and Pomegranate Tree. Rewards for registration of the three items are 1 RC, 88 Green Mystrons and a Clam Friendship Flower.
When you complete Darryl the Doctor 8 you will receive Bear Pet Ears, an 'accessory' to decorate your Pet House, of all things. Tap on the Paint Brush when you have accessed the Pet House menu to use it.
Strategies for Quest
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As previously indicated, you will need some premium Trees to complete the tasks in the traditional Quest sequence. If you do not have these, you may be able to find them in one of the Mystron Shops or in your Special Deals Daily Deal Shop for the new currency, TC. Note here, however, that 100 TC is the equivalent of 1 RC. If you actually have sufficient TC, it makes sense to use it to buy a Tree, but if you do not have it, you simply can go to the Tree section of the Market to buy it for RC. The price is the same even if the currency is different.
At the moment, there are new special sales offers that bundle Trees with Decorations. They really should have started the sale at the same time as the Mission but they waited a day. You now can find the Persimmon Tree on sale with the Witch Legs Decoration and 4 RC. The Wild Rose Bush is sold with the Stereo Coffin and 10 RC and there are two DIY offers as well. One allows you to choose between Persimmon, Plum and Dark Chocolate Trees with the Skeleton Rockstar Frontman Decoration, a choice of Farm Aids and 4 RC. The other DIY gives you the Skeleton Rockstar Diva Decoration with choice of Pomegranate Tree, Guava Tree or Butternut Squash Tree, along with a choice of Farm Aids or Popcorn Machine and finally 38 RC. All of the Decorations that are paired with Trees are from last year. The only new Decoration, the Bunny Reaper has no tree paired with it and is not stackable at this point in time. The rest of the Decorations being sold in these offers can be stacked on the old Halloween Base.
That having been said, the only time when one really might consider the expenditure of RC useful to complete a task in this sequence is to purchase the Polished Coral Twigs for the Rose Coral Mirrors if you cannot obtain them by processing your Coral. It is a bonus item and not that easy to obtain... the six Rose Coral Mirrors that you make have to be transported to the Island to make 6 Coral Dressing Tables in the very last part of the Mission. Make certain that you have 6 Wooden Panels as well for this project. Note that Wooden Panels are made from Red Sandalwood, cut from a Red Sanders Tree. The growth of any Wood Tree on the Island cannot be speeded with Watering Cans but use of Weather Aids such as Rain or Thunder will speed growth of everything including Wood Trees. Incidentally, each Rose Coral Mirror takes about 10 minutes to transport from Seaside Farm to Island Farm. Split the transport between Zeppelins if you can.
The Coral Dressing Tables are made in the Workshop. Unlike some of the other crafting buildings, the Workshop takes no time at all to complete items, but you will use 1 Power for each item that you produce.
Almost every Cooked Dish that you make in the course of this Quest will be used as an ingredient in another dish later, so sell nothing.
My Opinion
xxxxxxxxxxx
I am not entirely happy with the changes made recently. Originally, the traditional Quest sequence gave TWO cleanable Decorations as special Rewards, one after the first half was completed and one at the very end. The first was a Decoration for the Seaside Farm and the second was a Decoration for the Island. This made a lot of sense as the second half of the Quest sequence included some island Tasks. They then changed the rewards to two Seaside Decorations that were almost identical, such as two telephone kiosks or two Drum Sets. Now they have gone further in eliminating the first Decoration and replacing it with a Pet House 'accessory' or theme item. The developes obviously are trying to push new aspects of the game. Another recent change was to give a Stove House Recipe instead of a Tree or Collectable as the Reward for a Colelctions Mission and incorporate that Recipe in one or more of the tasks. That was another fundamental change in these time-restricted Missions.
Perosnally, I dislike all the changes and indeed, I know no players who prefer these new Rewards to the old ones in the form of 1 Decoration for Seaside and 1 Decoration for the Island. While they are trying to force players to unlock the Island, they yet eliminate one of the incentives for doing so. New players no longer can obtain Island Decorations as Rewards for completing the time-restricted Quests. Those Island Decorations were more valuable in a way than their Seaside counterparts as the Island Gift Boxes often contained Farm Aids. Furthermore, they DECORATED the Island. When a player has obtained a high Dev Point total, he/she can craft 'landmark decorations' but that is poor consolation really for losing the chance to gain new Decorations as quest rewqrds. The landmark Decorations cannot be cleaned, although they are very attractive.
Some of us are not that keen on the Stove House. Some of us do not have the time or energy to deal with it. The new Pet option is another one that requires a tremendous amount of time and energy. It is more fun than the Stove House but... many of us came to Seaside to farm. It is becoming less and less a farming game.

Craft 6 Coral Rose Mirrors
Skip for 6 RC
These are made in the Beauty Shop, rather a difficult item as it requires a bonus item from processing Coral in the form of a Polished Coral Twig.
Each requires 2 Red Rose Bouquets, 1 Polished Coral Twig and 1 Glass. Takes 13 minutes to complete. As soon as you complete them, ship them off to the Island as you will need 6 of them for one of the final tasks. It is here that it may be useful to advise you to buy the Polished Coral Twigs for 1 RC each if you do not have them rather than skipping the task or even part of it. If you pay for the Twigs and make all six of the mirrors, you will be able to make the Dressing Tables later on the Island without having to pay any additional RC to skip any of THOSE.

Although the actual Flavoured Bread Machine requires 2160 Dev Points to purchase, you will find an unfinished Machine on one of the Island Expansions and thus can obtain it without having sufficient Dev Points to qualify for a purchase!

Unfortunately, we cannot relax, dear Darryl... it's almost time for another round of guests to swoop down on the farm, bringing orders that have to be filled by pets needing FOOD constantly...
Stackable Decorations
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Note that the Tea in a Scarf Decoration shows the jigsaw puzzle piece icon when it is in your Gift Box but does not show any option to stack when you place it on your farm. It may be intended for the NEXT Base.
Other premium Trees that will be required for the tasks in the traditional Quest sequence include a Pomegranate Tree and a Banana Tree. You will need a Persimmon Tree to complete the Collections Mission.
Collection Set Registration
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
There is only one Decoration this time in the form of the Tea in a Scarf Decoration, and the Collections Set in the Lighthouse reflects this by making the required items two premium Trees and the single new Decoration. The Trees are the Persimmon Tree and Pomegranate Tree. Rewards for registration of the three items are 1 RC, 88 Green Mystrons and a Clam Friendship Flower.
When you complete Darryl the Doctor 8 you will receive Bear Pet Ears, an 'accessory' to decorate your Pet House, of all things. Tap on the Paint Brush when you have accessed the Pet House menu to use it.
Strategies for Quest
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As previously indicated, you will need some premium Trees to complete the tasks in the traditional Quest sequence. If you do not have these, you may be able to find them in one of the Mystron Shops or in your Special Deals Daily Deal Shop for the new currency, TC. Note here, however, that 100 TC is the equivalent of 1 RC. If you actually have sufficient TC, it makes sense to use it to buy a Tree, but if you do not have it, you simply can go to the Tree section of the Market to buy it for RC. The price is the same even if the currency is different.
At the moment, there are new special sales offers that bundle Trees with Decorations. They really should have started the sale at the same time as the Mission but they waited a day. You now can find the Persimmon Tree on sale with the Witch Legs Decoration and 4 RC. The Wild Rose Bush is sold with the Stereo Coffin and 10 RC and there are two DIY offers as well. One allows you to choose between Persimmon, Plum and Dark Chocolate Trees with the Skeleton Rockstar Frontman Decoration, a choice of Farm Aids and 4 RC. The other DIY gives you the Skeleton Rockstar Diva Decoration with choice of Pomegranate Tree, Guava Tree or Butternut Squash Tree, along with a choice of Farm Aids or Popcorn Machine and finally 38 RC. All of the Decorations that are paired with Trees are from last year. The only new Decoration, the Bunny Reaper has no tree paired with it and is not stackable at this point in time. The rest of the Decorations being sold in these offers can be stacked on the old Halloween Base.
That having been said, the only time when one really might consider the expenditure of RC useful to complete a task in this sequence is to purchase the Polished Coral Twigs for the Rose Coral Mirrors if you cannot obtain them by processing your Coral. It is a bonus item and not that easy to obtain... the six Rose Coral Mirrors that you make have to be transported to the Island to make 6 Coral Dressing Tables in the very last part of the Mission. Make certain that you have 6 Wooden Panels as well for this project. Note that Wooden Panels are made from Red Sandalwood, cut from a Red Sanders Tree. The growth of any Wood Tree on the Island cannot be speeded with Watering Cans but use of Weather Aids such as Rain or Thunder will speed growth of everything including Wood Trees. Incidentally, each Rose Coral Mirror takes about 10 minutes to transport from Seaside Farm to Island Farm. Split the transport between Zeppelins if you can.
The Coral Dressing Tables are made in the Workshop. Unlike some of the other crafting buildings, the Workshop takes no time at all to complete items, but you will use 1 Power for each item that you produce.
Almost every Cooked Dish that you make in the course of this Quest will be used as an ingredient in another dish later, so sell nothing.
My Opinion
xxxxxxxxxxx
I am not entirely happy with the changes made recently. Originally, the traditional Quest sequence gave TWO cleanable Decorations as special Rewards, one after the first half was completed and one at the very end. The first was a Decoration for the Seaside Farm and the second was a Decoration for the Island. This made a lot of sense as the second half of the Quest sequence included some island Tasks. They then changed the rewards to two Seaside Decorations that were almost identical, such as two telephone kiosks or two Drum Sets. Now they have gone further in eliminating the first Decoration and replacing it with a Pet House 'accessory' or theme item. The developes obviously are trying to push new aspects of the game. Another recent change was to give a Stove House Recipe instead of a Tree or Collectable as the Reward for a Colelctions Mission and incorporate that Recipe in one or more of the tasks. That was another fundamental change in these time-restricted Missions.
Perosnally, I dislike all the changes and indeed, I know no players who prefer these new Rewards to the old ones in the form of 1 Decoration for Seaside and 1 Decoration for the Island. While they are trying to force players to unlock the Island, they yet eliminate one of the incentives for doing so. New players no longer can obtain Island Decorations as Rewards for completing the time-restricted Quests. Those Island Decorations were more valuable in a way than their Seaside counterparts as the Island Gift Boxes often contained Farm Aids. Furthermore, they DECORATED the Island. When a player has obtained a high Dev Point total, he/she can craft 'landmark decorations' but that is poor consolation really for losing the chance to gain new Decorations as quest rewqrds. The landmark Decorations cannot be cleaned, although they are very attractive.
Some of us are not that keen on the Stove House. Some of us do not have the time or energy to deal with it. The new Pet option is another one that requires a tremendous amount of time and energy. It is more fun than the Stove House but... many of us came to Seaside to farm. It is becoming less and less a farming game.
