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!
