Chinese New Year Guests and Pets

Note:  The Journey to Anatolia is still live at the time of posting this.  You will find all details in the post below this one.

A new update to the game makes the game an even larger app on your device, but includes many new options, some of which are permanent and others temporary.  Note that you now will be unable to continue to play the game on any device until you have performed the update.  On my Kindle, I had to delete a number of other games and apps before the update would fit.

Among the temporary options are special Guests that can be invited for the Chinese New Year, although this will end on 30 January.  You will find the option to invite special Guests ALWAYS on the bottom left of the Guest House screen in a little bubble or cloud.  When you are rewarded by these guests, you will receive both Coins and Chinese Lion Doll Tokens.  The Chinese Lion Doll Tokens can be used to craft three different items in the Factory.  Two are old Decorations in the form of the Ice Cat and the Snow Hedge but there is one new Decoration in the form of the Tree Mail Box.  The number of Chinese Lion Doll Tokens to make each is:

20 Chinese Lion Doll Tokens: Snow Hedge
30 Chinese Lion Doll Tokens: Ice Cat
50 Chinese Lion Doll Tokens:  Tree Mail Box

Two items have been added for the Pet House as follows:

30 Chinese Lion Doll Tokens:  Chinese Fortune Pet House Ears
50 Chinese Lion Doll Tokens:  Chinese Fortune Pet House Base


N.B.  The Monkey's Announcement refers to the Rewards as Tiger Tokens but in fact the game refers to them as Chinese Lion Dolls.

Special Guest Groups
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Special Guest Groups are a temporary option, usually linked to a specific Festival like Christmas or in this case, the Lunar New Year.  In any situation where the game adds special Guest Groups, they will be the usual Guests dressed in special costumes with special requests that fall within the classifications of the sort of things that they usually prefer but in this case, dishes or items that the game considers to be 'Chinese Products.'   For example Huey, dressed now in an Asian festive hat, often requests seafood items.

As previously indicated, you will find the special Chinese New Year Guests in a little round icon on the bottom left of the Guest House Menu.  As with any Guest Invitations, you will need Passports to invite a set of Guests.  If you have used your Passports for the day, you can buy more by tapping on the plus sign next to the Passport number bar.  Buying the first additional passport costs 150 TC.

Note that when special Guest groups are introduced, you will have to unlock the various levels in the same way in which you unlock ordinary Guest Groups from different areas on the 'Map'.  Telescopes are required and used for the 2 Star and 3 Star Levels.  What this means is that you always will find a need at some point for more Telescopes and that means continuing to open Chests on a regular basis.

Ingredients Needed to fill all Orders
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I have logged the actual Orders I received at the different Star Levels but essentially, you will need a large quantity of the following ingredients:

Rice
  You will need raw Rice as well as Rice Flour, and the Rice is used as well in a number of different Dishes that are requested.

Soft Dough
  You will need a very large quantity of Soft Dough.  One guest requests this, but it is used in a number of different Dishes that are requested as well.

Eggs
  More than one visitor will request raw Eggs, and Eggs feature as an ingredient for many of the dishes that are requested.

Other Crops, Fruits, Products:
  Sweet Potato, Kumquat, Sugar, Coconut, Green Beans, Spinach, Cabbage

Seafood Items
  You will need Shrimp Balls (processed from Crayfish) and Crab that is processed from the Blue Swimmer Crab.  You will need a quantity of Seaweed as well.  All three of these items feature in Dishes that are requested, usually by Huey.

Guest Levels and Passport Levels
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Unlocked automatically.

1 Star Guest Visit Requirements:

There are two Guests at the 1 Star Level.  They are Cassidy and Jane.

I am including some of the actual Orders I received at the different levels.  Note that in every case, the actual Orders will be generated randomly but will tend to include the same items at each Level.  In other words, you may not always receive an Order for Rice Noodles at Level 1, but you probably will receive Orders for most of the items listed here.

Decoration Fortune Bags
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You will find a total of 5 Decoration Fortune Bags in the Special Deals Daily section of the Market.  Each contains a Decoration that was given as a Reward in a past Mission but, with the exception of the Cute Monkey,. has not been available since then.  The Decorations are:  Ichimatsu Doll, Music Box, Bocca della Verita, Lacquer Horn and Cute Monkey.  To buy a Decoration Bag costs 12 RC.  Once purchased, you will find it in your Gift Box.  Open it to discover which Decoration you received.

TC Rewards
xxxxxxxxxx

FunPlus is attempting to educate players about the various internet sites where this game can be discussed by bribing us with 80 TC to visit the page on Facebook, the FunPlus Forum and Twitter. You do not need to log into any of this, but simply by visiting each page will earn 80 TC from each.

Coffee Friendship Flowers
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

There is a special sale for a new type of Friendship Flower.  It is the Coffee Friendship Flower.  Initially, I was not terribly interested in this one.  I thought I would need to have one in my garden to register it in the Gallery but other than that.. until I read the description.    Both Host and Recipient will receive 5 RC AND 6-11 random Pet Cards when it matures and is crossbred.  That number of Pet Cards will not make an enormous difference but it does give a new type of Reward for a Friendship Flower.

Upgrader Batch Production
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A big improvement in the game recently is the ability now to use Batch Production with any Upgrader.  Initially, we were forced to use our Animals and Machines manually while they were on their Upgraders in order to produce the amounts necessary to upgrade them.

Warehouse Decorations Expansion
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You now can expand your Decorations section in the Warehouse from 150 to 170 if you feel the need.  What is required is:

60 Cement Bags (Request to Buddy)
9 Fire Extinguishers (3 RC each or purchase in Yellow Mystrons Shop for 100 Yellow Mystrons each)
20 Wooden Panels (Craft on Island or pay 1 RC for each)
15 Diamonds (Craft on Island or pay 3 RC for each)

Remember that you always can store any Decorations in the General section of your Warehouse and retrieve them from that location by selecting 'All'.  Gadgets and stackable decorations no longer occupy slots in the Warehouse but have their own section where there is no limit.

Pet Card Sale
xxxxxxxxxxx

Currently, there is a special sale of Pet Card Bundle that allow you to buy random Pet Cards.  Players who did not have more than two or three Pets now may need to upgrade their Pet Houses in order to have more Pets, especially if they purchased a Black Labrador previously.

Here are the requirements for unlocking the 5th Pet Slot:

50 Ketchup
25 Coffee Cookies
20 Pink Paint
8000 Coins

To unlock the 6th Slot, you will need Stove House dishes as well as other items as follows:

80 Lemon Cake
15 French Fries
50 Pink Paint
15000 Coins
