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.
