Family Farm School Quest and Textbooks Collection Mission




(Above, portraits from the game of Mum with long hair and Mum with short hair.  Many of us confused her with Felicia in this Quest as the Mother with long hair looks remarkably like Felicia.  In the original Family Farm, Felicia had a boyfriend named William, but evidently now is to be engaged to some one named Toby.  Whichever ultimately wins her,  he is yet to appear in Seaside. )

A new 11 day Quest has been released in tandem with a Collection Mission.  The reward for the Collection Mission is a new premium Tree in the form of the Blood Orange Tree.  Note that the Blood Orange Tree is available in the Market for 9 RC if you do not wish to perform the Collections Mission.  Furthermore, the fourth and final Material for the Base, the Water Hose,  is found randomly when you fish with a Rod and the BONE HOOK only.  The fishing task in the Quest will allow you to obtain this item.

70 Blue from Blue Rose
50 Green from Angora Hair
30 Yellow from Oat Bread
10 Red from Sorbus

Reward: Blood Orange Tree

Tips for Quick Finish:  Do not cast a Net as you will need to fish with a Rod.  As the fourth material for the Farm Pool Base is found randomly when you catch items with Rod and Bone Hook, the task will serve a double purpose.  You will not find the material for the Base by using a Net.  Leave at least 8 Chests on the paths for your Pets to open for a Quest task.  Do not tend your Botanic Garden as you need to do this six times for a task.

You do have 11 days to complete this Quest, however, so you always can take your time...

Strategy Tips for new Farmers:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Set your Monkey Boost to decrease OP required for Batch Production.  The cost of these tasks can be prohibitive, but by setting the Boost to decrease OP cost, you will find it a little easier to use the option.  This Quest in particular has a lot of Batch Production tasks.  You can perform the tasks manually without using Batch Production as well if you have the time and energy.

Try to complete the Collection Mission even if you cannot complete the traditional Quest sequence.  Once the Quest expires (after 11 days), you should be able to access it from the Lighthouse but you will NOT be able to access the Collection Mission for the Blood Orange Tree.  If you are willing to spend 9 RC for the Tree, it is in the Market now, but if you cannot spend RC for it, you need to complete the Collection Mission now.

The developers are including old Stove House Dishes frequently now in these 11 day Quest sequences.  As with the premium Trees, it is a good idea to try to obtain them all, gradually but certainly, if you wish to be able to complete all timed Quests.  It is best to complete the original Collection Mission that gives the premium Tree, 'Collectable' or Stove House Recipe but if you were unable to do that, you will need to try to see your way clear to purchasing these at some point.  The premium Trees do appear in the Mystery Shops randomly, either for Green Mystrons or in the Special Deals for TC.  (Try to level up your Research Laboratory to be able to grow the special Crops/Fruits to sell in E Mart and/or the special Dishes made with these Crops/Fruits.  That is the best way to obtain sufficient TC at an early stage of the game to be able to make these essential purchases.) . Another way to obtain these items is through the special sales offers, either DIY offers or bundled offers for new premium Decorations.  In particular, the DIY offers sometimes will include the option to purchase a premium Tree or Stove House Recipe.  Periodically, these are included now in the Lucky Wheel as well but that only offers a discount on an RC price unless the farmer actually lands on the item himself/herself.

Bear in mind the fact that the Quest sequence is divided into four parts.  If you can complete only the first half, you will be able to begin the second half from the Lighthouse but if you stop in the middle of any quarter, the tasks for that quarter which you completed will have to be performed again when you go to the Lighthouse for the Quest.  In other words, try to complete as many 'quarters' as possible!

Felicia and Mum:  Many farmers made the same mistake I did initially, believing this to be one of Felicia's quests.  When she spoke of her husband, I wondered if they were introducing William to the game, her original very devoted boyfriend in the original Family Farm.  Sadly, he now has been superceded by a guy named Toby in Family Farm.  I finally realised this was one of Mum's Quests... I believe I have changed the attribution of the dialogue in every part of the Quest but I was relieved to discover I was not the only player to make the error of thinking it was Felicia!

Sea World Exhibition and Darryl's House


(Above, screenshot of Sea World items for Darryl's House as well as the special outfit unlocked if you complete the entire Exhibition Set)

You will find the post for the current Yosakoi Festival Quest as well as the Princess and the Frog Farm Beauty Contests below this one.  Here are links:

Yosakoi Festival Quest

The Princess and the Frog Farm Beauty Contest

There is a new Exhibition for Furniture for Darryl's House.  Many of us have wondered why the youngest member of the family is the only one to have a proper house in this game, but some have surmised it is in fact a 'Wendy House'.  In this genderless age, when boys and girls are expected to leap across traditional divides, it is possible that boys are as likely as girls to play at washing laundry and serving afternoon tea.  Be that as it may, the Darryl's House option is one that is becoming increasingly important as the first half of any 11 day Quest recently has delivered a special Reward in the form of a new item of furniture for Darryl's House.

Sea World Exhibition
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You always can purchase furniture for Darryl's House through the Furniture Store, the little building on the far left between Darryl's House and your Building Area.  To the right of that is another small building where Exhibitions are displayed.  The first Exhibition had a Wedding motif.  This current Exhibition has a Sea World Theme.  Exhibitions are temporary sales and once the Exhibition closes, you will NOT be able to purchase or obtain the special items shown in the Exhibition.

Currently, you can obtain a number of Sea World items from the Exhibition.  They are as follows:

Sea World Wallpaper:  No House Point value
  Purchase with 5 RC

Sea World Double Sofa: 15 House Points
  Purchase with Cash

Sea World Sofa:  10 House Points
  Merge in Factory

Sea World Double Bed: 20 House Points
  Purchase with Cash

Sea World Table: 10 House Points
  Merge in Factory

Sea World Floor Tile: No House Point Value
  Purchase with 5 RC

Sea World Wardrobe: 5 House Points
  Purchase with 10 RC

There is a second (lower) tab to the Exhibition Menu that offers a Sea World Fishbowl.  You need to use Cash to purchase it.

Sea World Fishbowl: 15 House Points
  No point limit!

As you can see, there are items that can be purchased with existing RC, items that require cash (in whatever currency you use, which is why I did not include the prices) and finally, items that can be merged in your Factory.

Factory Sea World Items
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Complete Coffee House Orders to obtain the Blue Rolls needed to merge the Sea World Table and two Sea World Sofas.  You receive 1 Blue Roll each time you receive the Blue Mystrons Rewards essentially and you will receive them whether you choose 1 Star Difficulty Level or 2 Star Difficulty Level.    The difference between 1 Star and 2 Star in the Coffee House is reflected only in the number of Blue Mystrons you receive.  The Blue Roll reward is the same for both.  You need a total of 3 Blue Rolls to merge one Sea World Sofa (and you can merge two of these) and a total of 4 Blue Rolls to merge one Sea World Table.  You can merge these until the end of August.

Sea World Diving Suit
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

As with the former, now vanished Wedding Outfit, you can earn a special outfit that will disappear after 60 days by obtaining one of each of the special Sea World items.  This is the Sea World's Diving Suit.  When you have obtained one of each item, including floor tile and wallpaper, go to the Wardrobe to 'Claim' the outfit.  The timer will begin at that point.  I personally do not comprehend why these Exhibition Outfits are temporary rather than permanent but...

How the System Works
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Every item of furniture that can be placed in Darryl's House, apart from 'Special Furniture' has a point value and a category in which it belongs.  Every category allows a specific number of items of that type to be counted towards house point total.  If you exceed the total number of items allowed, placement of further items in THAT category will not add to your House Point total and therefore will not serve to increase your House Level.

Perhaps it is easiest if I give an example.

If you open the House Menu, either for the Furniture Store or the Furniture Warehouse, you should see a little window at the top left of the screen.  This will give you your current House Level with the total number of House Points you have and beneath it, a category of furniture with the maximum number of items in that category that will count.

The first category is Chairs and the maximum allowed is 9, which if you have placed 9, will display a notification of:  Max Counted: 9/9.

Two sub-categories to the right is Beds.  You will see that you are allowed a total of 2 Beds.  The Standard Bed with which you start only has a House Point value of 2.  If it is placed currently in your House, only one more Bed will be counted.  If you placed the Fancy Blue Bed you obtained as a Quest Reward for the original Darryl House quests, you will have a total of 6 points from that Bed plus the 2 Points for the Standard Bed.  That gives you a total of 8 points for Beds.

All other Beds that you can obtain have higher values than this but if you place them in addition to the two mentioned, you will not raise your House Point total.  By removing the Standard Bed and the Fancy Blue Bed and placing two of the Beds that have a House Point value of 15 each, you will be given credit for 20 House Points instead of 8.

The Sea World Double Bed has a very high value of 20 House Points incidentally but if you have two other beds on the floor before you place it, your House Point total will not be raised.

Special Furniture
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Special Furniture is found in the second tab of the Exhibition Menu.  This is furniture that is not limited in number and when placed, ALWAYS will raise your House Point total.  For the Sea World Exhibition, it is the Sea World Fishbowl, purchased for cash, with a House Point value of 15.  It is animated.

House Door
xxxxxxxxxx

Since I wrote the original post about Darryl's House, you now can tap on the Door of the House to bring Darryl outside.  You can change the colour of the Door as well.  Even when roaming the farm, however, Darryl performs no tasks.

Here is my original post as to how Darryl's House works as well as the little Quests that unlock the various rooms of the House:

Darryl's House
xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Darryl's House is a new option that exists next to the original Building Area on your Seaside Farm.  There are a total of four plots that are allocated to Darryl's House.  It is located between the Building Area and the Gallery.

By completing Darryl's House, you will meet new requirements for a Seaside Farm expansion but beyond this, you will receive two gifts per day from the House and Darryl.  One is based on the Level you have for Darryl's House and is a gift box below the actual House.  The other is obtained by accessing the interior of the House and tapping on the gift bag over Darryl's head.  Both will be available once daily at reset.

Tap on the unfinished House to obtain the first expansion.  The only requirement is:

Reach Level 23.

Once the house is built, you will be required to look in the wardrobe for clothing changes.  He has a pair of jim jams.

You then need to place a Bed, which you will find in a new building called the Furniture Warehouse.  Here you can obtain furniture for the House.

To unlock the 2nd area:

Have 10 House Points

Save and use 10000 Coins to unlock the area

Use 30 Lily to unlock the area


To unlock the 3rd area:

Have 20 House Points

Save and use 20000 Coins to unlock the area

Use 10 Roasted Tomato Soup to unlock the area

To unlock the 4th and final area:

Have 45 House Points

Save and use 50000 Coins to unlock the area

Use 10 Stuffed Turkey to unlock the area

Furnishing Level Rewards:  These are on timers.

There is a little Quest that accompanies the new House option:

My New House
xxxxxxxxxxxxx

My New House 1
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



Darrykl:  We are such good friends.  You must miss me a bit when I'm at my own farm, right?  Never mind.  I decided to stay near here and keep you company.  But I want to build a house to live in.  Can you help me?

Rewards: 1000 Coins, 230 XP, 1 Fancy (Blue) Bed



Darryl:  Great!  We can add another area now.  Try to open the whole house.  There is no such thing as too much living space after all!



N.B.  Find the Fancy Bed in your Gift Box and place in Darryl's House to raise the House Point total.  It has a value of 4 House Points.



How to Decorate Darryl's House
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Key to the House, whether to buy new furniture, move existing furniture or to store items is the little Furniture Warehouse building.  Access that by tapping on it at any time and you should see a Move tool at the top right of the screen as well as the Shop tabs at the bottom.

You earn House Points by buying and placing new items.  Please look at the Furniture Warehouse Menu to see all House Point values for each type of furniture.  The RC furniture is worth more than the Coin price furniture for the most part.

Note that certain types of furniture have a maximum limit for the points you can obtain by purchasing and placing them.  For example, you can have a maximum of 9 Chairs of any kind that will count for points.  If you have reached the maximum for any category, any new item in that category that is placed will not affect the House Point total UNLESS you first remove a different item in that category.  Generally speaking, the items that had a Coin price have the lowest House Point values.

Storing and Moving Items
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

To store or move any item IN the House, use the Move Tool by tapping on it.  A new Tool Menu will open allowing you to move it, turn it, leave it where it stands and finally store it.

Actually, if you simply wish to move or store items, you can use the regular Move Tool in the general Farm Tool Menu to move or store any items in Darryl's House provided only that you have opened the House to display the interior.

It is when you wish to retrieve stored items from the Furniture Warehouse that you must access the actual Furniture Warehouse Building.

Significance of House Points
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Your House Point total is linked to some other options in the game.  Having a total of 60 House Points is a requirement for the new and largest expansion of the Seaside Farm.

Your House Point total is linked to the new Furnishing Level shown to the right of the Furniture Warehouse.  When you tap on it, you should see a timer and a gift.  The list of 'Possible Rewards' becomes more comprehensive when your Furnishing Level increases.  At Level 8, for example, you can receive the following:

Coins, TC, Super Fertiliser, (some item that will not load at the moment), Super Watering Can, Gasoline (Petrol), Lucky Wheel Tokens

60 House Points will give you a Furnishing Level of 6.  The biggest difference between Level 6 and Level 8 Rewards is regular Organic Fertiliser and Watering Cans instead of the more potent varieties.

125 House Points are required to reach Level 9.

160 House Points are required to reach Level 10.

Level 9 does not give different Rewards from those given at Level 8 but you may receive a slightly larger number of Rewards.  The Rewards are not that significant at any level.

I raised my Furnishing Level to 9 only to be able to write this guide.  It was a waste of RC really... you cannot purchase enough Coins items to reach the point total needed and in fact, the House now is stupidly overcrowded.

To reach the higher levels, however, you must spend RC.  At this point in time, the highest House Point total NEEDED is 60.  This may change!

Note on 20 May:  With the addition of the Wedding Theme, you now can raise your total House Point level to 11 and possibly even 12 if you buy two of the Flower Petal Shooters, each worth 15 points.

The Effect of Storing Furniture
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Your Furnishing Level and House Point total depends on the furnishings actually in your House. When you store any item, your House Points may decrease. You need to be aware of the way the system works, however.

There are various categories of furniture and each category has a maximum number of items that will count in terms of points.  If you exceed that limit, adding more of the same type of furniture will not give you any more points.  It is only by storing an item in the same category with a lower value and then placing a new item with a high value that your points will increase.   Bear this in mind.  I have a sneaking suspicion that they may add a new Category to the Farm Beauty Contest in the future that is based on Darryl's House.

When you access the Furniture Warehouse, you will see a little icon of a Warehouse above the Shop Menu.  It will show the Furniture Store by default.  Tap on it to change that to Furniture Warehouse and you will have access to any items you have stored.

Darryl's House on Screen
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Go to Settings, Switch and for Darryl's House Interior, choose 'Off' to make the house smaller on your screen.  In fact, it is quite pretty.  (Thanks, Cindy!)

Darryl's Daily Gift
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you do not put him to bed permanently (ha ha!), Darryl will be on a sort of endless pacing manoeuvre throughout the day and night with little icons over his head that indicate various tips and notifications.  Each day, however, you should see a little gift bag at some point over his head.  Tap on that to receive gifts that can include TC.  Again, not really that significant in value, but I suppose every item helps a little.

Darryl on the Prowl
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Initially, one had to lift Darryl above the ground and then drag him out of his house to place him on a path.  Now, one only need tap on the door of his house to send him outside.  There is no practical purpose in this, however.

Yosakoi Festival Quest and Bird Rattle Collection Mission



(Above, photographs of real Yosakoi Dancers)


(Above, a bird rattle from Yosakoi Festival, and Felicia dressed as a Yosakoi Dancer)

A new 11 day Quest has been released in tandem with a Collection Mission.  The Collection Mission gives the Obento Stove House Recipe as a reward.

Tips:  I recommend that players set the Monkey Boost to decrease OP as many Batch Production tasks are included.  If you have the Fishing College/Fishery, do not cast a net as a rod will be required instead.  In fact, there are two tasks that require the use of a fishing rod.

The Obento Recipe is required for Yosakoi Festival 8.

Note from Freyashawk:  This site is freely available to any one who wishes to access it and I always publish a link in my Facebook groups.  It makes me rather unhappy to know that there are other Facebook groups that rather shamelessly copy my lists or posts to their groups without giving me credit.  This is not honourable behaviour.  ANY group is welcome to post a link to my site.

I do appreciate any votes you can give to HM. Freyashawk if you find this site useful to you.

Other new Options on Friday 10 August
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The second material for the Farm Pool Base now is available randomly from Chests that your Pets open on the paths.

There is a new Furniture Exhibition for Darryl, and you can forge new items with a Sea World motif using materials earned by completing Coffee House tasks.

I try to work hard to make the game more enjoyable for players.  There is no profit involved but it does make me happy to hear from players that the site continues to be helpful to them.  If you feel so inclined, please do vote for HM. Freyashawk in the Farm Beauty Contests.  It is becoming increasingly difficult to rank in the Contest and I feel it is good always because it serves to promote this site in a way.  Many thanks!  If you send a message to familyfarmseaside.blogspot.com on Facebook, I am happy to answer any game questions as well as giving my Farm I.D.

Daruma Doll
xxxxxxxxxxx

The Daruma Doll is a goal-oriented symbol.  When you obtain one, paint in one eye with a specific wish or goal in mind.  When the goal is achieved, you paint the other eye onto the doll.  The Daruma doll is based on a real individual.

His name was Bodhidharma, known as Daruma-Daishi in Japan, a monk who lived in the 5th-6th century. It is believed by many that he introduced Zen Buddhism to China, Shaolin Kung fu, a type of meditation called Zazen, and finally, green tea.


Yosakoi Festival
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The actual Yosakoi Festival of Kochi is not an ancient one as it was started about 60 years ago.  It is, however, based on very ancient traditions that can be found everywhere in the world.  The festival begins with a fireworks display.  Central to it are the competitive dance teams that use wooden clappers or 'naruko' while they dance.

Both fireworks and the use of clappers or rattles are ancient devices that were believed to chase away evil spirits.  Drums likewise are believed to have similar power.

The Princess and the Frog Farm Beauty Contest




(Above, new premium decorations with their adorable animations.  The Frog when kissed becomes a Prince and then takes the Pretty Princess in his arms.  If you like 'cute', this is one way to earn multiple theme votes while adding a very pretty base to your Farm.  Note that I used my old Farm Pool Base... had to remove another cute group in the form of the Otters to do this.)

A new Farm Beauty Contest has been released under the name of 'The Princess and the Frog' based on a popular old folktale found throughout the world.    It features an old Base called the Farm Pool Base.  The three new Theme Decorations are included in the Theme Book.  They are the Pretty Princess, the Frog Prince and the Fountain of Magic.  The Pretty Princess is worth 9 votes per day if you are not at maximum for theme and the Frog Prince and Fountain of Magic each can give 6 votes per day for theme if you have not reached the Maximum.  Full lists of theme items will be given below later but please be aware that both the Green Duck Pond and the Goose Pond are theme items so make certain that you place both on your farms (in water).  If you can obtain a total of 200 votes per day, you will obtain the most important reward, which is the Decoration you receive with a total of 4000 Votes.

Contest began earlier than I expected and I spent the day in queues with no time to work on this.  Apologies for the inclusion of some old material about the Football Beauty Contest.

Note on 6 August:  I have added a section under 'Lighthouse' that gives the names of the old Missions, now accessible from the Lighthouse that will allow you to obtain specific theme items.  In fact, I am adding the three Lighthouse Missions themselves at the end of this post.

You can purchase a new unfinished Farm Pool Base and the materials will be given in a variety of activities, one by one.

The first material is the Water Jar, obtained from the Water Jar Cooking Stand bags.  You must eat at a Neighbour's Cooking Stand to receive these special bags.  Batch tickets can be used, and if you use 5 or less in a batch, they do work to register your icon (and result of your visit to cooking stand) at the neighbours' farms.

Here is a list of materials for the Farm Pool Base:

6 Water Jars
12 Turf Grass
6 Clay Bag
20 Water Hose

Each material costs 1 RC if you wish to purchase them separately.  This makes the cost rather high, so it is best to obtain them through the various activities unless they offer a Farm Pool Base Material Bag in the Daily Deals Market at some point.  Unfortunately, an unfinished Farm Pool Base does NOT count in the Theme Book, according to my cousin who never completed hers!

Introduction
xxxxxxxxxx

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.

The Farm Beauty Contest can be confusing and difficult for new player.  Often, they are unaware of their own ability to increase the Votes from the 4 Characters to the point where they can obtain the Reward Decoration without any votes from their Neighbours.  It requires a little planning.  This post was created to show you how to do precisely that.  Every aspect of the Farm Beauty Contest as well as the rules by which each Category operates is covered here.

Remember ALWAYS that the votes you receive from the Characters are based on your current 'Snapshot'.  If you change your farm to obtain more votes, always take a new photograph or Character votes will not change!  You do not need to take a photograph more than once, however, if you set up your farm for maximum Character votes at the very start.

One more point about the 'Snapshot'.  If you play on more than one device, you may see your Photograph only on the device you were using when you submitted it.  Do not fret about this!  It remains valid for the duration of the Contest, even if you do not see it on your other devices.

Theme List now complete with values in terms of Theme Votes as well as where and how to obtain each.  This Contest gives multiple vote values to many old Decorations and each of the new premium Decorations always give multiple numbers of votes for Theme.

The quickest way to maximise theme votes, therefore, especially for a new farmer, is to pay cash for one of the new premium decorations.  They can be expensive, however, and for many farmers, earning the Reward Decoration for 4000 Votes in the Farm Beauty Contest is a long process that requires patience.  Do be aware, however, that the premium Decorations not only count for multiple votes, but give special Rewards often in the form of RC, Yellow or Blue Mystrons as well as giving the best Gift Box both to the host and to the visitor when cleaned.  Sometimes the judicious expenditure of cash in a 'free game' is worthwhile.

For a new farmer, the easiest way, however, to raise your Character vote total probably is by obtaining a couple of farm expansions and by raising your Landscape Point total to at least 2100.  I need to confirm the precise number of points now required to maximise your Landscape Point votes, but it really is worth the effort and you need not spend any premium cash to do this.  There are coin paths that will do the job.  See my section on Landscape Points below.

Knowing where you can capitalise on your own Character Votes is key to success.  For a farmer not to improve his/her farm for the Contest and then beg for votes from Neighbours ultimately is not the best strategy.... why not make the most of your own farm first?  At least then you can guarantee that you win the Reward decoration in EVERY Farm Beauty Contest as Landscape Points remain constant as do Farm Expansions.

Note from Freyashawk:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 I created this site 5 years ago shortly after the game first was released.  I maintain and update it with all new Quests and new options, as well as posts like this to help players with every aspect of the game.  I may not be the best farmer in the world, but if this site is useful to you, please vote for HM. Freyashawk in the Farm Beauty Contest.  Your vote for the farm is a vote of confidence for the site.  It is not a matter of personal ego but rather the desire to make players aware of the site.  When HM. Freyashawk places in the top ten in the Farm Beauty Contest, it reminds players that both this site and my Facebook groups for this game exist and, one hopes, can help them with any aspects of the game when needed.  Every vote counts for rank and I appreciate your votes greatly.  I know that it requires an effort on your part to vote for HM. Freyashawk each day.  I only hope that this post helps every farmer attain the total needed for the pretty Reward Decoration.

Note to new Farmers
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I believe that the Farm Beauty Contest still is unlocked at Level 30.  Even at that Level, it IS possible to maximise your Farm to obtain enough votes from the Characters to receive the Decoration Reward for having 4000 Votes.

You must start on the first day, however, with the best possible configuration, if you are at the lower levels and have not played long enough to have acquired many of the Theme items.

Even if you are not that concerned about your own results, you can register and help other farmers with your votes.  Even if you feel you cannot obtain a total of 4000 or 6000 votes, do your best to organise your farm for maximum votes to practice for future Contests.  If you are a low level farmer but are willing to spend a little money, purchase of the new theme decorations should make a big difference in theme totals, which could make all the difference in terms of reaching the goal of 4000 votes by the end of the contest.

COUNT YOUR TOTAL EACH DAY.  Most important are the Character Votes.  If you are reaching a total of 200, you will obtain the Decoration.

Tips:  Where Landscape Points are concerned, try to find a Buddy who is at a high level who will send you paths as Gifts.  If you are able and willing to spend RC, the Macaron Path and Pebble Paths can boost Landscape Point totals faster with less effort, but if you can place enough of the other Paths and make certain that your Decorations are within their sphere of influence, you can reach the necessary total for maximum votes in that category.

The theme list is to be found in the little red book in the Farm Beauty Contest Menu.  I publish a list of all Theme items in my post with details as to where and how they can be obtained.  Some Theme items originally were released as Mission Rewards.  In many cases, these old Missions can be activated from the Lighthouse and you can obtain the Decoration without paying RC for it.  Others can be purchased directly from the Gallery using Blue or Yellow Mystrons.  Try to do it at the start, however whenever possible and make certain that, should you improve your farm's configuration, you take a new screenshot immediately!  You do not have to take more than one screenshot during the course of the contest UNLESS you obtain items that improve the Character vote totals.

Every day counts!  Count the total number of votes you receive from the four Characters at the end of the first day of the Contest and then see how you can improve this number if, multiplied by 20 (days), you do not have 4000 Votes as the projected total.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Princess and the Frog Beauty Contest
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The old Farm Pool Base is a Theme Decoration worth 2 votes per day from 3 of the 4 characters, meaning a potential 6 Votes per day for Theme.

You should be able to own more than one Farm Pool Base.  The materials will be given again through various farm activities whether or not you  have a completed Base.  Unfortunately, there is no option to purchase a bag of materials for farmers attempting to complete a second Base.


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, although the Contest is giving an extra voting period and that reduces the total needed per day.

If you care about this, register your farm on the first day with maximum votes from the 4 Characters using the guidelines below.

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 recent Contests.  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.

Some Pets cannot use three accessories.  For example,  the Kangaroo, although you can dress them in hats, do not have the second accessory and the Kangaroo cannot be equipped with any collar or other accessory that can be forged in the Factory.  You therefore need to make certain that the four active Pets do not include a Kangaroo at the point in which the photograph is taken.

For players without premium accessories:  First make certain each has equipment.  Go to the Apparel Menu and find the 7 day hats and accessories for each pet that can be purchased for 100 TC each.  Equip four Pets each with a Hat and whatever other accessory that Pet can use and then let them loose outside.  Take your snapshot for the full 12 votes from Grandma!

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 believe this still is true, although it is a good idea to register all theme items as quickly as possible as you do receive rewards for registration.

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!

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

This Contest differs from many of the early Contests  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.

Lucky Wheel
xxxxxxxxxxx

It now is possible to obtain more Tokens for the Lucky Wheel through the rewards given by Darryl and his House on a daily basis.  Most of the Decorations in the Lucky Wheel originally were given as rewards for timed Quests and these Quests often still can be activated from the Lighthouse.

As far as the Wheel is concerned, if you land on the box with the Decoration, you get it free. Otherwise, there is an RC price attached to it.  When you place it in the Share Box, it will have the RC price.

Lighthouse Mission Theme Decorations
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Note that all of these Decorations can be purchased for RC as well.

You can obtain the Seashell Chest by completing the old Farm Regatta Special Mission.
You can obtain the Fish Bowl from the Farm Fiesta Special Mission.
You can obtain the Ice Cream Cart from the Eco Summer Special Mission

Theme Decorations
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This time, there is one Tree that features in Theme in the form of the Ice Tree.

New Premium Decorations
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Frog Prince: 2 votes from each of 3 Characters daily if you have not reached maximum for Theme; that means a potential total of 6 votes per day for theme

Pretty Princess: 3 votes from each of 3 Characters daily if you have not reached maximum for Theme; that means a potential total of 9 votes per day for theme for this decoration alone

Fountain of Magic: 2 votes from each of 3 Characters daily if you have not reached maximum for Theme; that means a potential total of 6 votes per day for them for this decoration

In other words, if you have all three of the new premium Decorations, it can boost your Theme votes from the Characters to maximum probably without any other Theme decorations on your farm: these alone are worth 27 points for theme.
