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.
