The Lost Girl of Oz Quest and Tin Man Collection Mission

A new timed 11 day Quest in tandem with a Collection Mission has been released.  Any individual with a Facebook Group for this game is welcome to post a link to my site, but please do not rip off the information in this post.  I work very hard and spend real money to complete these tasks as quickly as possible for other players.  It is only common decency to credit Freyashawk when you use my post.  Thank you.

Heartfelt thanks for your votes for Freyashawk's Harvest Moon FDC.  I managed to stay in the top 10 (number 9) and it is all down to you!  Your votes motivate me to continue to update this site.  I do not allow Google to advertise on my sites.  I try to keep my site as easy as possible to access on all devices, whether PC, laptop or mobile devices.

The Reward for this Collection Mission is another Stove House Recipe in the form of the Oat Roll Noodles Recipe.   (I believe it would have made more sense to have called it the Rolled Oats Noodle Recipe in English.)  You will need a Black Olive Tree to complete this Collection Mission.

5th Anniversary Cake

This post deals with the 5th Anniversary celebrations as well as new update.  New update below Anniversary Cake sections.


(Screenshot of completed Cake, stacked from positions 1-5.  You can choose one of three 'cake toppers' in the form of the Chicken seen here, a Sheep or a Cow.  All other Decorations occupy unique positions on the Cake Base.)

Anniversary Cake
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

There are a number of different components to this.  Many will be found in Felicia's Message so make certain that you collect daily.

Today you will have received the Anniversary Cake Base, a special Avatar and 20 Cream Crop Seeds.

In the Market, there is a new Bird Family Decoration that is an Island Decoration and the first of its kind to give Island Blue Boxes when cleaned.

If you are looking for the Mushroom Picking Quest, you will find it below this post or follow this link to access it:

Mushroom Picking Quest

Anniversary Cake Base
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Anniversary Cake Base:  This Base is found in Felicia's Message.  You can place it immediately but to 'decorate' it, you will need to complete some of the Decorations that can be purchased in the Market and 'built' as follows:

Cream Crop
xxxxxxxxxx

The special Cream Crop (20 of the seeds each day) must be planted and harvested to finish all the Decorations for the Anniversary Cake Base.   You cannot complete any of them without the Cream Plant and as you will see, each requires 60.   A glitch caused the Cream Plant to appear in the market for a few lucky farmers temporarily but the only way you should be able to obtain the seeds is through Felicia's Message each day.

Note that many farmers are keeping a few mature Cream Plants on their farms for their neighbours to harvest when they visit.  This randomly allows players to obtain a few more than their daily allotment.  If other farmers fertilise the immature crop, it may be impossible for neighbours to harvest it.  This is a bit glitchy, but it is best to have at least 5 mature crops on your Farm if you wish to help your Neighbours with extra plants and you can afford to keep them there!

Cake Decorations
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Farmers who play the regular Family Farm will be familiar with this type of activity.  Decorations when completed can be used to decorate the Cake (Base).  Use the Move and then the Search tool on the Base to see how the Decorations can be stacked.  It will take at least 3 days to complete any Decoration, however, if Felicia only gives 20 Cream Plant seeds per day.  There is no option to buy out of this by paying RC for the Crop.

Here is a list of all the Decorations and their materials:


Cake Butter:  Purchase in Decorations section of Market for 1000 Coins and build it:

60 Cream Plant
10 Custard
10 Butter
20 Buffalo Milk

Cake Liquid Chocolate: Purchase for 1000 Coins in Decorations Section of Market and build it:

60 Cream Plant
10 Chocolate
5 Turron
10 Tiramisu

Cow Cake Deco:

60 Cream Plant
10 Condensed Milk
20 Low Fat Milk
10 Cottage Cheese

Cake Piping Bag:

60 Cream Plant
15 Buttercream
10 Lavender Cupcake
10 Coconut Milk

Cake Fruits

60 Cream Plants
20 Strawberry
20 Raspberry
20 Blackberry

Chicken Cake Deco: 1000 Coins

60 Cream Plant
10 Condensed Milk
20 Eggs
20 Egg White

Sheep Cake Deco: 1000 Coins

60 Cream Plant
10 Condensed Milk
20 Wool
20 Goat Milk

Cow Cake Deco: 1000 Coins

60 Cream Plant
10 Condensed Milk
20 Low Fat Milk
10 Cottage Cheese

Stacking Decorations on Anniversary Cake
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Anniversary Cake Base allows a total of 5 Decorations in specific positions.  There are three Decorations for Position 5 which is at the top of the Cake as follows:

Sheep Cake Deco
Chicken Cake Deco
Cow Cake Deco

In other words, as they all occupy the same position, you only can place one of these at any given time.

For the rest of the Decorations, positions are:

Position 1: Cake Butter
Position 2: Cake Liquid Chocolate
Position 3: Cake Piping Bag
Position 4: Cake Fruits
Position 5:  Cow Cake Deco/Chicken Cake Deco/Sheep Cake Deco

My advice, therefore is to complete all the Decorations that occupy distinctive positions first and then choose one of the three animal Decorations for the top of the Cake.  Once all those are completed, you can complete the 'alternate' Animal Decorations.


New Farmer Gifts
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Claim the following:

Level 2: 10 Corn, 10 Milk, 1000 Coins
Level 5: 10 Apples, 2 Hedges, 2000 Coins
Level 10: 50 Pet Food, 5 Paths (Brick)
Level 12: 25 Organic Fertiliser, 50 OP, 1 RC
Level 15: 10 Lab Cards, 2000 Coins
Level 21: 50 OP, 1 Rain, 2 RC

This completes the Clover Statue, a Decoration that will go to your Gift Box and can be placed on your Seaside Farm.

New Water Well Update
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oddly enough, although I had reached a high number of Sprinklers, the Well now tells me that I should upgrade to Level 2 as follows:

20 Turkey Burgers
10 Pink Rope
10 Water Buckets

Maximum number of Sprinklers 450.

Teams
xxxxx

There are teams in the original Family Farm game and now Seaside has them as well.  The first step is to complete the 'building' that allows you to launch a new Balloon that will give you the option to participate in the Farmer's Fair.  No materials are required.  Simply tap on the little collapsed building to the left of the Gallery to complete it.

The building is the 2nd Guest Centre.  On my farm, it was unlocked automatically but I now have been told by lower level farmers that there are requirements for unlocking it as follows:

You must have unlocked all four areas of the original Mootopia Map.  In other words, you must have unlocked 1 Star Metropolis before you will be able to complete the 2nd Guest Centre.

You then have the following options:

Start a Team
Join a Team

If you choose: Start a Team

You need to choose a specific Pet to go to the Farmer's Fair.  It must be an inactive Pet.

When you have chosen your Pet, you need to choose some products to sell at the Fair.   The first venture will give you the option to sell 5000 Coins worth of a random product.  After that, you must choose your own products which will be consumed.

You then have five minutes to find a team.  This can be 'auto-find' or actually find other farmers to join your team.

The Auto-Find option allowed me to experiment with it.

You find yourself in a little area with 4 Guests.  You will have four Pets to bargain with the four 'Guests'.  While an apparently endless bargaining session goes on, you actually can return home by pressing the 'Home' icon in the bottom left of the screen.  The time is limited actually to one hour. Whenever your goal is met, however, the session can end early.

As indicated, you have an hour I believe to meet your sales goal.  You will receive multiple orders after assigning each pet to a Guest.  My Pet was Level 25 and had full stamina so I never had to feed him but the other Pets lost all Stamina and I had to feed them to allow them to continue the session.  We were successful and I received a Key and then was told to choose a box from five boxes to open.  The box contained one Turtle Card.  As Team Leader, I was told I could open a second Box.This contained 1 Turtle Card as well.

When I attempted to choose my own Team, I had difficulties, even though I had other farmers alerted to the fact that the 5 minute timer was running.  You only see the icon of the Pet the Team Leader is using.  The 5 minutes expired.

I believe the game has created this option to allow players who have not been able to earn sufficient Pet Cards for whatever reason by themselves to earn more.  You only earn 1 random Pet Card, however, at Level 1 unless you create the Team.  I believe that is what 'Team Leader' represents, although my Pet made the most sales as well.

Bear Scarf
xxxxxxxxx

You now can forge scarves for your Bears in the Factory.  Like any other apparel forged in the Factory, it will give your Bear increases in Stamina and Bargaining Power when worn as well as possibly a boost when Guests from a specific area of the Map are invited.

Hedgehog Apparel
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hedgehog Apparel can be purchased in the Pet House Menu in the form of different colours of a Leaf or Apple.  It is worn in the same position as the Belt or Bag for other pets.

Mushroom Picking Quest and Garden Gnome Collection Mission

A new time restricted Quest has been released in tandem with a Collection Mission.  The Reward for completion of the Collection Mission is a 'Collectable' in the form of the Chanterelle Planter.  You will not find this in the Market while the Quest is active so must complete the Collection Mission if you wish to harvest the Chanterelles that will be needed in the traditional Quest.

Some of the members of our Family Farm Seaside Freyashawk Group liked my addition of lists of all the Crops and Batch Production items you need for these Quests so I am adding them now to each post for the timed missions.  You will find the actual tasks and dialogue below, but here at the start are convenient lists for you:

Crop List
xxxxxxxx

40 Cucumbers
40 Pitaya
50 Sweet Potatoes
50 Pineapples
50 Cassava (Island Crop)
50 Lotus Flowers

Transport List
xxxxxxxxxxxx

20 Beef Salami to Island
20 Ketchup to Island

Transport for Ingredients
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

16 Zucchini to Seaside

One of the later tasks requires Zucchini as an ingredient.  This is an Island Crop.  You will need to transport 16 Zucchini from the Island for use in the recipe if you have not done so previously.  The Transport is not a task, but you will need the item to make 8 Mushroom Stuffed Zucchini, a new recipe and the first of its kind.  Never before has an Island Crop been used in the Kitchen.

Batch Production
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

40 Buffalo Milk
12 Orange Juice
40 Buffalo Milk Cheese
40 Angora Hair
20 Cornbread
50 Beef
20 Pitaya Jam
50 Ketchup
50 Cassava Flour (Island)
30 Cranberry Pies (Island)
60 Dried Kiwi (Island)
20 Beef Hot Dogs (Island)

Freyashawk Harvest Moon FDC
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This site is maintained by Freyashawk, aka Eugenia Martino.  You are welcome to post a link to my guide in your Facebook Groups but please do give me credit for the work I do.  I try to update the site constantly with new information and complete quests quickly for the guide often only by spending RC to skip steps (as in this case where I paid 10 RC to skip the Collection Mission temporarily).

My farm is Harvest Moon FDC.  If you find my site helpful, please consider voting for my farm in the Farm Beauty Contest.  I always appreciate your support.  I do not allow any advertising on my site and I do try to work hard for my fellow farmers by posting helpful information.  So I thank you with all my heart for your continued votes in the game.

Strategy Consideration
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

For new farmers or farmers who recently reached the level where these Missions have been unlocked for them:

In many cases, you can complete the traditional Quest sequence later if unable to complete all tasks at this point either because you have not unlocked the Island or do not have an Island Machine needed or mastery level needed.  What you cannot perform later is the Collection Mission that is linked to the traditional Quest.  In this case, the Reward is a 'Collectable' which means that, once the Quest expires, it should be added to the Market in the Collectable Department.  It then may require only a small amount of RC to purchase it.  When the Collection Mission reward is a Stove House Recipe, it too will be added to the Market once the Mission expires but the cost usually is higher than the cost for a 'Collectable'.  Where the Reward is a premium Tree, you usually can find it in the Tree department of the Market while the Mission still is active and can opt out of the Collection Mission simply by using RC to purchase the Tree.  I always indicate this in the Quest itself at the point where there is a task to 'place' the Reward item.  Here this occurs in Mushroom Packing 9.  As you have 11 days to complete the Mission and you will need Chanterelles, you may wish to complete the Collection Mission before moving on here.  I only opted to pay 10 RC for Harvest Moon FDC to skip the task in order to be able to finish this guide as quickly as possible.

Anniversary Competition Farm Beauty Contest

Note:  You will find the new 'Journey to the West' Lighthouse Mission and the still current 'Farm Tractor Race' Missions in the posts below this one.

A new Anniversary Competition Farm Beauty Contest has begun.

You really do need to maximise the Votes from the four Characters if you wish to achieve the Decoration at 4000 Votes or the Avatar at 6000 Votes.  Asking for Votes from other players is NOT the answer unless you are very close to 200 Votes per day from the 4 Characters or 300 Votes per day from the same 4 Characters.  Try to organise your farm to maximise votes from the very first day.  It can make a huge difference to your vote total.

It is the current photograph or Snapshot of your Farm that is the basis for ALL Votes, not the current state of your Farm if you changed anything.  In other words, take your time to organise your Farm BEFORE you take the initial 'Snapshot' for entry to the Contest.  This can make a big difference as every day counts in these contests.

The key to this is balance.  You need to have a variety of Crops on the Farm.  Try to have 16 different Crops growing... the total number needed may be lower from 12 to 13 but it is easy to grow different Crops and you have nothing to lose.

You need to have at least 12 different Machines on your Farm to obtain the maximum Votes for Machines from Dad.  Some players claim that the Salad Machine has counted as two Machines in the past but again, to be safe, move as many Machines onto your Farm as possible before you take your initial Snapshot.

Do the same with respect to your Trees.  You need a variety of Trees.  Duplicates never count.  Most players should not have any trouble in placing 16 different types of Trees on the farm.  I believe that the total needed is less, possibly 12 or 13 but again, it does no harm to be safe.

Finally, there are the Animals.  Butterfly Houses and Beehives of each type count as Animals and every type counts as a different Animal.

Landscape Points count for Votes with three of the Characters.  You do not even need 2300 Landscape Points to maximise these votes.  I believe the actual total is close to 2250 points but need to confirm for the current contest.  Recently, the game changed to add Landscape Points to Charm Points for a new total.  I will try to pinpoint the number required for maximum votes.

Expansions are another good source of votes.  You only need to have performed a few expansions to gain maximum votes from Felicia and Dad for expansions.

Another category is your Gallery.  Now that you can register Crops and other items, even low level players should be able to maximise votes for a good Gallery.  Votes are based on the totals of the items you have registered.  Your Gallery 'upgrades' at specific totals.

Finally there are votes for a 'high level' farm.  I have not achieved the maximum on Harvest Moon FDC yet because I believe you have to be at Level 150 now for this.

'Theme' gives votes from three of the four Characters.  Your best bet to maximise your Theme Votes if you have not played long or did not collect Reward Decorations for any other reason would be to purchase the Batting Chimp, the Boxing Bear and/or Cheerleading Bunny from the special sale offer in the top right of the screen.  They are expensive but if you are not at maximum for Theme, the first two each can give you 9 extra Votes for theme each day from the Characters and the Cheerleading Bunny 6 extra votes for theme from the Chqracters..  If you are unwilling or unable to do that, at least place the Farm Stadium Base for 9 more Votes per day for theme.

Farm Stadium Base
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Farm Stadium Base featured in the current Farm Beauty Contest is from last year but new stackable Decorations are being sold for it.

You can purchase the unfinished Base in the Market for a limited time.  Complete it by purchasing the materials in the various Mystery Shops as follows:

Journey to the West Lighthouse Mission for Bird Home Base Decoration



(Above, photographs of operatic performances of the traditional tale of the Monkey King and the Princess of the Iron Fan.  It is a very popular tale!)

This is a new Quest that can be activated AT ANY TIME from the Lighthouse.  It is one of those Quests that is distinctive as it is divided into different timed parts.  This is characteristic of ALL the Bird Home Base Decoration Missions.  Once a part is activated by tapping on the icon in the Lighthouse Menu for the Mission, you must complete it within the days allocated to it.  You need not activate any other parts of the Quest, however, if you do not wish to do so until a later date.

Note that these Quests are for Decorations that are stackable on the Bird Home Base only.  This is a Base that can be purchased in the Decorations section of the Market.  You can have a total of two of these.  The first carries a price of 25 RC.  The second costs 40 RC.

You can place the Decorations for the Bird Home Base directly on your farm.  According to the information in the Gallery, however, they cannot be cleaned for Gift Boxes of any colour.  The Base itself should deliver a Blue Gift Box when cleaned.  I have confirmed that the Decorations cannot be cleaned... they do, however, have Charm value so if they are placed within the sphere of any Path, will add Landscape Points to your farm value.

If you are familiar with this type of Quest, you will not need any explanation.  Remember that there are really three separate quests here, each represented by its own icon and that you need not activate the next part of the Quest until you are ready.

Crops Needed

Part 1

40 Clover

Other Bird Home Base Decorations
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Here is a link to an older post that provides all of the other Quests in the Lighthouse that give Decorations for the Bird Home Base as their rewards:

Bird Home Base Decoration Quests


How the Bird Home Base Works
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You must use RC to purchase the Bird Home Base from the Decorations section of the Market.  You can buy a total of 2 Bird Home Bases.   As stated in the introduction to this quest, the first costs 25 RC and the second costs 40 RC. All Decorations that can be stacked on these Bird Home Bases are Rewards given by special Lighthouse Missions.  Originally these Missions could be activated only from the Gallery from the 'Time Machine' section and were named the Gallery Missions or Time Machine Missions.  Now all Missions that can be activated for Decoration Rewards, including old timed Missions that have expired, are found in the Lighthouse and activated from there.

Some of the stackable Decorations for the Bird Home Base are animated, but only if you place them in juxtaposition with other specific Decorations.  We still are missing one stackable Decoration in the form of the Letter Blocks as the Mission has not been released yet.

Bird Home Base Decorations are as follows:

Farm Bird House
Stone Bird House
Mini Water Pump
Bird Seesaw
Hamster Friend
Bird Swing
Bird Pool
Bird Hot Air Balloon
Bird Ball Pool
Inflatable Chair
Letter Blocks (not yet available)

You can experiment with the Decorations by using first the 'Move' Tool and then the Search Tool in the Move Menu to see how all of them are positioned and how they interact.  My own personal favourite is the Blue Bird who emerges from the Farm Bird House to use the Mini Water Pump before flying up to the diving board on the Bird Pool, falling finally into the Bird Ball Pool to disappear in a flurry of blue feathers beneath the balls.

The other animated creatures are a pair of Hamsters and a pair of yellow Birds.  They will emerge from a house to use the Seesaw.  Although I have placed the swing on the same base as the Seesaw, I yet have to see the two yellow birds use it or the inflatable Chair.  They simply use the seesaw and then, after leaping to the roof of the house, disappear into it.  If you choose the Hamster Friend, one will eat from a dish while the other uses the Hamster Wheel but again, neither moves to the swings. They simply go back into the house.
