Magna Graecia Quest and Cannoli Collection Mission


(Above, Darryl in ancient Greek attire on his school trip to Sicilia)

On Friday, 7 September, both a new Farm Beauty Contest and a new 11 day Quest with Collection Mission were released.  I will create a separate post for the Farm Beauty Contest, but the rules for that remain the same, so if you look at my post for the LAST Contest, you will find guidelines for this one as well.

The Crop and Batch Production Lists should be complete.  I am adding the actual text from the game now, but it is a difficult day.

Tip:  Set your Monkey Boost to decrease OP cost for Batch Production for Animals/Machines.  As you can see, there are many tasks where Batch Production will be useful.

I suggest you send Cheddar Cheese to your low level Neighbours... one task uses a Recipe that requires 12 Cheddar Cheese for each dish produced.

N.B.  The latest update added a very useful option that displays a tiny number next to any crop that you plant.  That allows you to count the number you are planting, which is extremely useful for a Quest like this one that requires specific numbers of Crops to be planted and harvested!

Apologies:  My original list was cut when I pasted it here this morning so the last three Batch production tasks were not included.  I am having a very difficult time at the moment, for my own health and family health issues.
