Secret Admirer Quest and Heart Necklaces Collection Mission

(Above, Alexander is the narrator of this Quest)

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 Praline Tree.

Note that a new Farm Beauty Contest.  All Theme Items are found in the Red Book.  Access the Farm Beauty Menu through the Gold Trophy Item, tap on the Red Book, then tap on any theme item to use the Search Tool to see if you have it.  I will list all Theme items later, but it is easy for a farmer to find them all now if he/she has them.

You will find all details for the Giraffe Wedding Contest in the post below this one that gives the riddle solutions for Penny's Magic Cauldron.

Giraffe Wedding Farm Beauty Contest and Penny's Magic Cauldron Solutions to Riddles

The new Giraffe Wedding Base, when placed on the farm, can boost your Theme votes by 9 daily.  If you are not able or willing to make up the difference in RC,  you can wait to solve all the riddles and then claim it, but make certain you take a new 'snapshot' when you have placed it on your farm, especially if you do not have maximum for theme.  The little Valentine Teddy Bear that you earn by completing this quest is a Theme decoration but only worth a total of 3 votes.

Many of the old premium decorations are worth multiple votes in this particular Farm Beauty Contest.  When you access the Theme Book in the menu, it will tell you how many votes each is worth.

Strategy:  Complete the Collection Mission even if you cannot complete the entire Quest sequence.  You will be able to access the traditional Quest from the Lighthouse after the timer expires, but try to complete as many groups of 4 parts as possible, as the Quest actually is divided into four parts in the Lighthouse, and you are given credit for each quarter you completed earlier.  Note that you will not have access to the Collection Mission once the timer expires, which is why it is important to try to complete that, as the reward will become a premium item in the Market afterwards.

I am afraid that my real life has become extremely stressful again, but I will try to make a post specific to the Beauty Contest over the weekend.  The fact that the Book allows you to search instantly for the items you have either on the farm or in the Warehouse does make my own posts less important.

POST COMPLETE!

Note about Lists:  Please look at the actual quest tasks if you think there is an error in the list.  I sometimes make a typographical error!  I try to go through it all again later to edit it, but I try to complete and publish as quickly as I can.

Note from Freyashawk:  Once again, I ask that if you use this site and appreciate the work, please consider voting for HM. Freyashawk in the Farm Beauty Contest.  It does inspire me to continue if I can rank in the top ten, partly because the name 'Freyashawk' is known for strategy guides for games and may bring new farmers to this site for help.  Many thanks to all the wonderful farmers who have voted for HM. Freyashawk.

It is interesting that Alexander mentions characters from two of the most famous love stories in Western Literature.  Dante and Beatrice from Dante's Book of Divine Comedy, and Petrarch and Laura, from Petrarch's Songs/Sonnets.  I have posted links below to online versions, but they may not be the best available and it always is better to read these authors in the original Italian if one can.  This version of Petrarch gives both the original Italian and English translations.
