Yard Sale Quest and Dust Cleaners Collection Mission

A new 11 day Quest has been released in tandem with a Collection Mission.  At the same time, a new Farm Beauty Contest has been launched.  The current May Wedding Farm Beauty Contest is included at the end of this post.

Dust Cleaner Collection Mission:

70 Yellow Dust Cleaners from Rice
50 Blue Dust Cleaners from Buffalo Milk
30 Pink Dust Cleaners from Turkey Sausage
10 Green Dust Cleaners from Eucalyptus Tree

Buddha Bowl Recipe:

Ingredients: 1 Rice, 1 Cabbage, 1 Pumpkin, 1 Tomato, 1 Pitaya, 6 Power
  Place all ingredients in bowl and set timer for 30 seconds.  Tap 'Finish' immediately when the Bronze Star activates.  The recipe has a maximum time of 40 seconds, but the Pitaya will burn if you allow it to cook more than 30 seconds.  Your other option is to cook all ingredients apart from the Pitaya, add it after 30 seconds and 'Finish' when the Bronze Star activates immediately thereafter.

Strategy Tips:
xxxxxxxxxxx

One of the tasks requires that your Pets dig 8 Chests so do not use all of your allotment if you wish to complete this in one day.  Or open and do not collect as task is counted when the Chest is opened.

For those who have unlocked the Fishery/Fishing College, refrain from casting a Net until you have completed the fishing task.

Do not tend the Flowers in the Botanic Garden prior to completion of the Quest.  One task requires that you use a Spade 3 times.

Tips for New Farmers or Low Level Farmers
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Quest and linked Collection Mission are active for 11 days.   Try to complete the Collection Mission first as once the Quest expires, you no longer will have access to it.  The Rewards for Collection Missions now tend to be either 'collectables' or Stove House Recipes.  When the timed quest expires, they will appear in the Market but you will have to pay RC for them.

The traditional Quest, on the other hand, should appear in the Lighthouse once the Quest expires.  You will need the 'Collectable' or Stove House Recipe from the Collection Mission to complete it, but you will be able to continue the Quest if you did not finish it while it was active.

These Quests are divided into four sections.  They are divided in the same way in the Lighthouse. Try to complete an entire section so that you need not go through it again in the Lighthouse, even if you cannot complete all 16 parts of the Quest while it is active.

xxxxxxxxxx

Yard Sale 9
xxxxxxxxxx

May Wedding Farm Beauty Contest
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

With changes in the votes from the four characters, it should not be difficult for veteran Farmers to obtain a total of 300 Votes per day from the Characters alone if they have been playing long enough to accrue the Theme items.  With 300 Votes per day in a 20 day Contest, you will receive the Avatar by the end of it EVEN IF NO NEIGHBOUR VOTES FOR YOU AT ALL!  This makes the Contest a bit less frustrating for the ordinary farmer if you have played long enough to have reached Level 80 at any rate.

The Farm Beauty Contest is unlocked only when you reach Level 30 I believe.  Originally available at any Level, it was open to abuse from farmers who created countless farms in order to vote but never played the game.  At Level 30, a farmer has proved himself/herself in terms of showing a valid interest in the game.  If you are between Level 30 and Level 50, your best option if you wish to receive the Decoration Reward for 4000 Votes is to purchase the premium items that are worth more than one vote from the 4 Characters AND, whenever possible, to buy and complete the Base that is featured as a theme item.

Wedding Base
xxxxxxxxxxxx

The old Wedding Base from last year is featured in this contest as a theme item and three new premium Decorations are being offered in the special sales offers.  The three new premium Decorations now have been added to the Theme book.

The Wedding Base is a Theme item and is worth a maximum of 2 Votes per day from each of three of the Characters.  In other words, once completed, it can boost your votes in the Theme category by 6 votes per day from the Characters.

Every farmer now can have a total of 2 Wedding Bases.  You will find the Wedding Base in the Decoration section of the Market for 1000 Coins.  If you never purchased or completed a Wedding Base in the past, you will be able to purchase the materials to complete it in the various Mystrons shops.  If, however, this is your second Wedding Base, you need to purchase the special Wedding Base Bag for 20 RC.  You will find this in the Daily Deals and it contains ALL materials for the Base.

Materials for the Base for farmers who never completed one in the past are found as follows:

White Heart: 25 Green Mystrons (20 required)
Heart Stick: 20 Purple Mystrons (12 required)
Heart Tile: 5 Yellow Mystrons (8 required)
Pink Heart: 5 Blue Mystrons (7 required)

If you obtained the Wedding Base last year but did not complete it, you always can access the Base itself to see what materials still are needed to complete it.

As of 9 May, the three new premium decorations finally were included as Theme items in the Book.
This post is designed to allow you to gain as many Votes as possible from the four characters by maximising your own Farm to achieve the highest number of Votes in every Category.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
May Wedding Farm Beauty Contest
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The current Farm Beauty Contest is given the title of 'May Wedding'.   Oddly enough, the NEW premium decorations offered in the special sales at the top right of the screen are now even Theme Decorations according to the Contest 'book'.

The Wedding Bases is a Theme items:
First available last year, you now can purchase it in the Market and own a total of two Wedding Bases, but only one will count for theme, although it is worth 2 Votes from each of three of the Characters, a maximum of 6 per day.


OBTAINING THE REWARD DECORATION
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You need a total of 4000 Votes by the end of the Contest to receive the significant reward which is the Decoration.  Almost any farmer should be able to maximise the Votes of the 4 Characters to obtain this even without a single vote from a Neighbour.  You basically need a total of 200 Votes per day.

For the Avatar, you need 300 votes per day, but with the recent changes in Character Votes, it is not impossible by any means to reach these totals from the Character votes alone.  If you are receiving 300 votes per day from the four Characters, you will obtain the Avatar by the end of the Contest.  To obtain 300 Votes per day from the Characters alone, you need to have reached Level 90.  If all other categories give you the maximum number of votes, Level 80 - 90 will leave you short of 300 by only 1 Vote per day, however.

VOTE CATEGORY CHANGES
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

There are two significant changes from former Contests that became active in the last Contest.  The first is the addition of Pets as a Vote category for Grandma in the form of 'pets with fancy equipment'. The second is a decrease in the totals for the Levels required for Dad's Vote for 'high level farm'.



Pet Category
xxxxxxxxxxx

The total number of Votes that can be given by Grandma for Pets is 12.  Equipment (the collars, scarves and bow ties and so on) that you forge in the Factory each count for 1 Vote.  Apparel counts for the other Votes and it does not matter if it is premium Apparel or Temporary Apparel or even duplicate Apparel.  All will count equally.  A Buddy Pet does NOT count.  That was a glitch.

PETS MUST BE OUTSIDE THE PET HOUSE TO COUNT!

In other words, to gain 12 Votes from Grandma each day for the Pet Category, you need a total of 4 Pets, each wearing a piece of equipment and 2 pieces of apparel.

High Level Farms
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This has changed a few times through the years but I only know for certain that Freyashawk at Level 117 received 15/18 votes for 'high level farm' from Dad.  At Level 120, HM. Freyashawk now receives 16/18 votes from Dad for 'high level farm'.   This was NOT the case in the earlier Farm Beauty Contests.  At Level 145, another player received 18/18 but I believe the actual level requirement for maximum votes in this category is lower.


Basic Rules
xxxxxxxxxx

It is your current photograph of your Farm or 'snapshot' that determines the Votes from the 4 Characters in the game every day.  In previous Contests, a Theme decoration often would be counted if it had been placed on the Farm, even if it had not been registered yet.  I think now it is a good idea to register all theme items as quickly as possible.

Balance and variety always is the key in these contests.  You need a variety of Crops, Animals, Trees, Machines and Theme Decorations on your farm to maximise the votes from the 4 Characters.  If you design your Farm for maximum votes from the 4 Characters, you should not need ANY Votes from your Neighbours to obtain the Theme Decoration Reward that requires a total of 4000 Votes by the end of the Contest.

Duplicates never have counted where Crops, Trees, Animals, Machines and Decorations are concerned.  I doubt that has changed.  The only change really is that duplicates of Pet Equipment and Apparel DO count.

Crops
xxxxx

Have at least 16 different Crops on your Farm to obtain maximum Votes from Darryl for 'variety of Crops'.  You may need less but Crops are easy to plant.  They do not have to be mature when you take the photo to count.

Trees
xxxxx

Try to have 16 different types of Trees ON YOUR FARM when you take the photograph.  Trees in the Tree Nursery will not be counted.  Again, you may need fewer than 16 types but it does not hurt to be safe to obtain maximum votes from Grandma for 'enough Trees'.


Animals
xxxxxxx

Beehives and Butterfly Houses as well as the Bat House are considered Animals so every different TYPE of Beehive or Butterfly House counts but duplicates of any type of Animal do NOT Count. You should not need a total of 16 different types of Animal to obtain maximum votes from Felicia for Animals but again, if you have 16, use them.

Machines
xxxxxxxx

In Contests in the past, you only needed a total of 12 different machines to obtain maximum Votes from Dad for Machines but this may have changed.  Players claimed that the Salad Machine gave 2 Votes instead of 1, but never confirmed that.  In any case, duplicates do not count and if you can cram 16 onto your Farm before you take the photo, better to be safe than sorry.

Expansion
xxxxxxxxx



Both Felicia and Dad give Votes for 'Big Farms'.  The good news is that you do not need many expansions on your original farm to obtain 16/16 from each of them.  A farmer who does not have even the 23 x 23 Expansion will obtain maximum 16/16 votes in this category!

Theme
xxxxxx

Only Grandma does not vote for Theme, so you have Theme Votes from three out of four farm characters.  The Theme List always can be found in the little Red Book in the Farm Beauty Contest Menu.  I will include a list below as well with the price of each Decoration if you can purchase it and how to do so in each case.

Gallery Registration
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Register as many items as possible BEFORE you take your photograph to maximise this Category.

Both Darryl and Grandma give Votes for Gallery... furthermore, you obtain rewards from the Gallery when you register any item.

Landscape
xxxxxxxxx

'Beautiful Paths' is the term for your Landscape Point total.  As three of the four Characters vote for this Category, it is a very good idea to have Paths on your Farm and place as many Decorations as possible within their 'sphere of influence'.  I have covered the details of Paths and Landscaping elsewhere on this site.  The better the Path, the more points you receive when Decorations are placed next to it or near it.  The Macaron Path, Pebble Path and Snow Path each are worth 50 Landscape Points.  The Snow Path no longer is available but the other two can be purchased in the Paths Menu for 1 RC each.  The Wooden Path is worth 35 Landscape Points and costs 50000 Coins.  Next best is the Forest Path worth 25 Landscape Points with a price of 15000 Coins.  If you have Buddies, however, they can send Forest Paths and Stone and Flower Paths to you.  To send, go to the Special Gifts Buddy Menu.  You can send a Stone and Flower Path to a Buddy for 4000 Coins and a Forest Path for 12000 Coins.  You actually can send a Macaron Path to a Buddy for 1 RC.  There are Buddy Level requirements for sending some of the Special Gifts.

Remember that Landscape Point total is the total of the value of ALL the Paths PLUS the Decorations that are close enough to those Paths to boost Points.

In the past, you needed less than 2300 Landscape Points to achieve maximum... not certain what the current requirement is but here are some farmers who have less than that and their results in the current contest:


1059 Landscape Points: 16/24 Votes

1421 Landscape Points: 19/24 Votes

1484 Landscape Points: 20/24 Votes

1720 Landscape Points: 21/24 Votes


How to Maximise Landscape Points
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



First of all, you will not be able to move any Paths or perhaps even set any new Paths now if you have Pets roaming about your Farm.  You must place all of them in the Pet House before you can set new Paths or move existing Paths, including Water Paths as well as those on the land.

Remember that placement of Decorations and Bases is everything.  A Decoration or Base will give additional Landscape Points only if it is placed near a Path that has not used its maximum number of Points yet.  For example, the Macaron Path can give a boost of 50 Landscape Points when Decorations are placed close to it.  Once that amount is reached, however, piling more Decorations or Bases near it counts for nothing.  Use the Move Tool to hover over various spots to see how your Landscape Points will be affected.


Pet Category
xxxxxxxxxx

This is a new Category and only Grandma votes for it.  To gain 12 Votes from Grandma each day for the Pet Category, you need a total of 4 Pets, each wearing a piece of equipment and 2 pieces of apparel.  A Buddy Pet on your Farm at the time you take your photograph will NOT count.  That was a temporary glitch.

You can purchase apparel for a temporary period in order to take a snapshot that will give you more Votes for this category.

High Level Farm
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Only Dad gives votes for a 'high level farm'.  At Level 117, HM. Freyashawk received only 11 Votes for this category in previous contests but now is receiving 16/18 at Level 120.

Here are some current results:

Level 40: 6/18 Votes

Level 47: 6/18 Votes

Level 48: 7/18 Votes

Level 63: 8/18

Level 76: 10/18 Votes

Level 79: 10/18 Votes

(Thanks to my neighbours who sent this information to me)


Theme Items
xxxxxxxxxxx

As of 9 May, the new premium Decorations finally have been added to the Theme List.

This Contest differs from others in that you can obtain multiple votes from the Characters by having Theme Decorations from the past, rather than being forced to buy the NEW premium Theme decorations to gain a high score from theme.  I am listing the values below.  I am not certain if this is intended or not, however, as well as the odd omission currently of the three NEW premium Decorations from the Theme Book.

N.B.  Go directly to the Gallery to see if a Decoration is available for purchase now.  I will add more information later about the Theme items that are available in the Lucky Wheel/Buddy Share Box.  I have listed those that can be found currently in the Wheel but had no luck whatsoever landing on any of them when I spun my Wheel so am collecting prices slowly.

Please be aware that often you can find premium decorations both in a current special sale offer on the top right of your screen AND in one of the Boutique Shops in your Market.  If you see the item in a special sale offer, however, you are best served by purchasing it in that way, as it usually is bundled with other items, including farm aids and/or Stove House Recipes and RC.  These sale offers expire at different times so the items I have listed below may no longer be available in a special sale offer in a day or two.
