Love Story Quest and Heart Envelopes Collections Mission

Friday, 28 April:  My heartfelt thanks to every one who voted for Harvest Moon FDC.  The farm placed 4th thanks to your support...  thanks to my wonderful Facebook group members who helped enormously!

N.B.  The third material needed for the special Eggs created in a Factory Merge now are being found in the special Cooking Bags you receive when you eat at a Neighbour's Cooking Stand.  They are the Easter Crown Deco and the Easter Bunny Deco.  You will need 15 of one of these to merge an Egg.

The current time-restricted Quest has as its subject the romance between Grandma Blair and Grandpa.  It is rather endearing.

It has come to my attention that there are people who are copying and pasting the work I do without giving any credit to the writer.  It takes quite a long time to write these posts.  I am happy to be of help to any one who plays the game, but please do give credit to Freyashawk if you are using the entire text in your Family Farm Group.  Thank you.




The Easter Egg Factory activity is tied to the first 8 Parts of the traditional 'Love Story' Quest sequence.  You will receive a pattern as a reward when you complete each part.  I have noted the patterns I received on Harvest Moon FDC but it is possible that the actual pattern you receive in each case is random.  After you complete the first eight parts of the traditional Quest sequence, you will receive a special Reward in the form of the Bee Wings Pet House Ears.  'They make a set with the little bee antennae we received previously.  No matching Base yet.

Please note that there are no item requests from Neighbours and there are only a few Island Tasks, one of which requires the Yogurt Machine.   The Yogurt Machine is a three-ingredient Machine on the Island and the two ingredients that never change are Honey and Goat Milk, both of which must be transported from your Seaside Farm.  Make certain that you have at least 20 Honey and 20 Goat Milk if you wish to make 20 Cranberry Yogurt for one of the last tasks in the traditional quest sequence. The final Reward is a Heart-Shaped Tree Decoration.

The Reward for the Collections Mission is a Parsley Pot, a Collectable.

You collect the following:

70 Pink Hearts from Pink Roses
50 Red Hearts from Wine
30 Orange Hearts from Mayonnaise
10 Blue Hearts from Gooseberry Bush

Premium Items Needed
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You will need a Gooseberry Bush for the Collections Mission, a Sakura Tree, a White Chocolate Tree.  As far as Fish are concerned, you will need 6 Butterfish for the Lemon Fish task.  Thanks to the new option to trade fish at the pier, you will be able to trade for these if you do not have them or catch them immediately.

You will need a Goat to produce Goat Milk.  This is the second timed Quest recently that has required a Goat, so it may be a good idea to buy one if you do not have one.  You can find them for sale randomly in the Green Mystrons shop but otherwise the price for a White Goat is 15 RC.  Note as well that the White Goat is included as one of the items in the Collection Set.  If you want to receive a Clam Friendship Flower, you need a White Goat as well as the Parsley Pot and Heart Shaped Tree Decoration.


Easter Egg Factory Activity
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You should have been given 3 Plain Eggs by Felicia last week.  You then should have been able to obtain random Paint to colour these Eggs.  The colours you could make were Purple, Green and Orange.  I made one of each.  Now, in the first half of the traditional Quest, you should receive Wave Patterns and Dot Patterns.  I received a total of 4 of each of these.  Usually, in Factory Merge activities, you cannot do anything until you have all the Materials.  The Eggs are different.  Once you have the Patterns, you can go to the Factory to merge the coloured Eggs with the Patterns.  I chose to make two Wave Patterned Eggs and 1 Dot Patterned Egg.  Just my personal preference.  At this point, the Eggs you make cannot be placed.  They remain Materials for a future Decoration and are not themselves completed Decorations.

A Day with Granny Quest, Stars Collections and Easter Farm Beauty Contest

There is a new time-limited traditonal Quest sequence in tandem with a Stars Collection Mission. Tips for the new Easter Greeting Farm Beauty Contest will be added in a section at the end of the post.  There is a little Q and A section at the end to direct players who are not familiar with the rules of the Farm Beauty Contest.

Note that because of some problems with updates, changes may have occurred with respect to tasks... will update as often as possible to reflect current tasks.  The two tasks that required items requested from Neighbours originally have changed.

The reward for the Collections Mission is a Stove House Recipe used in one of the tasks for Part 8 of the Quest Sequence.

Prepare the dish as follows:

Stove House - Aubergine Kebab Recipe (Need 30 seconds to cook this recipe)
This recipe is given as the reward for completing the Stars Collections Mission.
3 Beef (1 hour)
1 Eggplant (1 hour)
3 Tomato (5 minutes)
3 Onion (50 seconds)
6 Power
This recipe is simple: Place all ingredients in pan; tap cook and watch until bronze star (10 seconds remaining) or continue until all flavor points are gained, stopping just as time reaches zero seconds.
(Thanks to Kaye Webb, an administrator of our Family Farm Seaside Freyashawk Group)

Here is the quest but here I wish to thank all of my wonderful Neighbours... I have been playing this game for four years and I have made some fabulous friends and neighbours.  Thanks to all in our group who have given their support as well!

To use this option, tap on the icon of the fish on a scale to the right of the actual pier.  You will see one tab for selling and one for buying.

If you have a fully upgraded Goldfinger tech, you can make Smoked Mackerel in your Smokehouse using the Tech even if you do not have any actual Mackerel in stock.  It should count for this task.

Finally, for the purposes of a task like this, you can 'Miss' a catch to bring the total to 8 if you are impatient to complete the task using your default of 7 attempts.

Note that the Clam Friendship Flower is a special Reward for claiming the Collection Set within a time limited period usually associated with the quest time.  You can receive the other two Rewards even if you have to activate the Quest from the Lighthouse later.

Easter Greeting Farm Beauty Contest
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A new Farm Beauty contest has begun.  My first suggestion is not to let the game persuade you to make your application until you have organised your farm a little to maximise your Votes form the four Characters.  If you are a fairly low level or new player who has few Decorations, you may wish to consider buying the new special Decoration offered in the sales in the top right of your screen.  It is the Chicken Bunny and it is worth 3 Votes instead of the usual 1 from three of the four Characters.  Once you have registered it, it should give you 9 votes per day for Theme... there are other decorations worth more than 1 Vote but at the moment, this is the only one worth 3 Votes from 3 Characters.

The rules of the Contest appear to be the same as before. I will post more details as to how to get maximum Votes from all the four characters every day.  If you want the Reward Decoration from the Beauty Contest that requires a total of 4000 Votes, you can do it fairly easily by obtaining a total of 200 Votes from the Characters alone each day.  The Avatar at 6000 Points is more difficult.

Theme Item List
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is a work in progress.  I intend to add information about decorations in Lucky Wheel and more details about acquisition of each item.

To view all theme items, tap on the icon of the Red Book on the right top side of the Beauty Contest Menu.  Many thanks to members of Family Farm Seaside Freyashawk Group and especially Kaye Webb and Amanda Nelson for making prices of Lucky Box theme decorations available quickly.

This contest has the following theme items:

  From past, can be purchased now in Market for 3000 Coins, but will be unfinished.  You can use RC to complete it instantly but if you place on your farm and take a new screenshot, it may count as a Theme item even if incomplete.  You now will find the Materials for the Easter Picnic Base in your Daily Specials Shop for 70 TC each.  As of Tuesday, 11 April, however, a player with one Base cannot buy Materials from the Daily Specials Menu for TC.  Option is greyed out.

Beauty Contest Q & A or 'What am I doing wrong?'
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Question: Over half of my farm has crops growing on it.  Why am I not getting the maximum from Darryl for Crops?
Answer:  You have to have 16 DIFFERENT types of Crops on your Farm at the tine when you take the screenshot.  Remember always that the Votes are based on the current photo of your farm!

Question:  I have 20 machines on my farm.  Why am I not getting the maximum from Dad for machines?
Answer:  Duplicates do not count.  If you have 2 Wine Makers, for example, only one Vote will be given for that Machine.  You need 12 different machines in the current photo of your Farm.

Question:  I have 18 Animals on my farm, but Felicia is not giving me 16/16 for Animals!
Answer:  Like the Crops and Machines, duplicates do NOT count.  Make certain you have 12 different types of Animals on your Farm and then take a new photograph for the Contest!  Note that the different Beehives and different Butterfly Houses each count as a different type of Animal.

Question:  When I look at the red book in the Contest Menu at all of the Theme Decorations, I know that many of them are on my Farm but they are not given the green chequemark there and I do not think they are being counted by the three Characters for Theme. Why is that?

Answer:  First of all, you need to register any Decoration in the Gallery before it will be recognised usually for the Contest.  Second of all, you need to take a new Screenshot for the Contest after you place any new or additional Theme item on your Farm.

Question:  How many Votes do I need each day to get the Theme Decoration in the Farm Beauty Contest Rewards Menu?

Answer:  You need a total of 200 Votes each day to get the Reward Decoration.  It is far better to organise your own farm to get this total from the four Characters than to try to rely on the Votes of Neighbours.  It is not that difficult to get 200 Votes each day.  First of all, plant 16 different types of Crops, then make certain you have as many different Trees as possible on your Farm.  (You may only need 12 different trees this time.) . Place as many different Machines as possible on your Farm.   (Again, you may need only 12 different machines, no duplicates.)  Place at least 12 different Animals on the Farm... remember that each type of Beehive and Butterfly House is considered to be a different Animal in this context.  Now, finally, look at the Theme Book in the red top corner of the Farm Beauty Contest Menu and see how many of those Decorations you have on your farm.  THEME DECORATIONS MUST BE REGISTERED IN ORDER TO COUNT!  Is your Landscape Point total over 2200?  Not certain what is required for this contest, but if you have 2350 Landscape Points, you definitely will receive the maximum votes for Landscape.  Finally, only AFTER you organise your farm for maximum votes should you take a NEW PHOTOGRAPH.

Harvest Moon FDC
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Please do request to join our Family Farm Seaside Freyashawk Group if you need neighbours or help with the game.  My farm is Harvest Moon FDC (Freyashawk de Conde), and if you use this site and wish to let me know you appreciate my work, I would be most grateful for your Votes in the Contest. This is a 'clean' site without advertising of any kind.  I don't get paid in any way to do the work. Apart from anything else, though, I feel that when Harvest Moon FDC ranks high in the Contest, it may direct more players to our groups and this site.  Thank you!
