Other special Items:  You will need the Pilaf Recipe

Pilaf:

  Requires 6 Power
  40 seconds maximum, but can be completed in 27 seconds
  Place all ingredients in skillet, setting timer for 27 seconds, then tap 'Finish' when Bronze Star activates.

Strategy Tips:  Farmers, especially at lower levels, should activate the Monkey Boost to decrease OP.  You have 11 days to complete the Quest, so it is only if you wish to do so as quickly as possible that you should avoid the following:  Do NOT collect all Pet Chests, do NOT cast a Net and do NOT tend flowers in the Botanic Garden, as all of these are included in tasks in the traditional Quest sequence.

A special thanks to Anne of Family Farm Seaside Freyashawk for her help always with our group and discussing all the new options in the game.

Note from Freyashawk
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I have been playing this game almost from its inception and began to publish the strategy guide for it almost as soon as I became involved in the game.  If you find my site helpful, please consider voting for HM. Freyashawk in the Farm Beauty Contest.  I struggle to rank in the top 10 nowadays.  So many of my old neighbours no longer play the game.  I receive no pay for the site, nor do I wish to be paid, but voting for HM. Freyashawk does show me that players appreciate the work I do.

It is in order to rank in the top 10 that I ask for your votes.  I write a post each time there is a new Beauty Contest to help farmers receive enough votes from the four Characters to obtain the rewards.  Rank, however, requires votes from neighbours, and one needs at least 10,000 by the end of the contest to rank in the top 10.  Why is this important?  Well, it is important to me, because of name recognition, to let other players know that the site remains active.  It is important as well because it is a measure of sorts as to how useful the guide still is.  It takes me at least three hours, and sometimes more, to create a comprehensive post for one of these 11 day quests.  Players can complete the Quest in a shorter span of time.  It is logging everything that takes MORE time.  I use double OP and both weather and fertilisers to speed harvests and batch production in order to complete the Quest information as quickly as possible.  My posts are based on my own game experience.  I cannot feel comfortable with information given by another player for the most part, so I must go through everything myself.

Exceptions to this are some of the untimed quests that were logged by trusted administrators and in those cases, they have been credited with the post.

Most importantly, I wish to thank every player who has voted for HM. Freyashawk.
