A quest in honour of the upcoming Lunar New Year has been released. It is a traditional Quest sequence as usual in tandem with a Collection Mission. The Reward for the Collection Mission is a Stove House Recipe, the Sweet Rice Balls Recipe.
Note to Kindle Users: The Mission now appears to be live on Kindle for all users, since reset on Saturday, 10 February.
The premium Tree you will need to complete the Collection Mission is the Adzuki Tree.
Note to FB Groups: You are welcome to post a link to this page or any other post on my site, but please have the decency to credit Freyashawk if you intend to use information I have gathered and my own work. I work very hard to keep my site updated and it is only fair to give credit to an individual who makes considerable efforts to help other players. Thank you.
And yes, it has come to my attention that other Facebook Groups are simply copying and pasting MY work without proper attribution. This is dishonourable to say the least.
Another Note from Freyashawk: If you find this site useful, please consider sending Votes to Harvest Moon FDC, Freyashawk's farm, in the Farm Beauty Contest, especially near the end of the Contest when your friends and buddies have achieved both the Decoration and the Avatar rewards. Most Votes given to farmers after that are wasted unfortunately. It takes thousands of votes to place in the top 100 list and about 9000 to 10000 Votes now to place in the top 10.

Strategy Tips
xxxxxxxxxxx
Every player has a different method of farming and playing the game, but for low level players who may not be able to complete all Traditional Quest tasks, it is useful if you focus on the Collection Mission first. The item that is the Reward for completing any of these Collections Mission will be available after the Quest expires often in the Market but you will be forced to pay RC for it, whether it is a Tree, a Collectable or a Stove House Recipe. Collection Missions will NOT appear in the Lighthouse even when the traditional Quest sequence to which a Collection Mission originally was linked is added to the Lighthouse Quests. So complete it NOW if you can and then complete as many tasks as you can in the traditional Quest sequence, if only to earn Coins, XP and the subsidiary Rewards.
I tend to set the Monkey Boost to reduce OP when I am performing one of these time-restricted Quests. I speed production of any Batch Production in order to complete the guide quickly so I use huge amounts of OP. For other players who are not under this pressure, the amount of OP required still can be significant even if you wait out the Batch Production in each case. The Monkey Boost can be very helpful.
One little tip for players who complete the Quest in a single day: Do NOT tend the Flowers in your Botanic Garden until you reach the task to do so in the Quest!
