Rainy Day Quest and Colourful Umbrellas Collection Mission

(Beautiful parasols... actually not that good for.a Rainy Day as often made from paper, but exceedingly lovely)

A new 11 Day Quest has been released in tandem with a Collection Mission,  The reward for the Collection Mission is a Blackthorn Bush, a premium Tree essentially.

70 Yellow Umbrellas from Rice
50 Blue Umbrellas from Oat Flour
30 Red from Fox Balloons Balloon Machine
10 Green Umbrellas from Peach Tree*

Note that collections from non-premium Trees, like the Peach Tree (purchased for Coins) usually require far more harvests.

*Rate of Collection from Peach Tree was about 1 in 5 for me.

The Balloon Machine is a fairly new Machine that costs 20 RC.  This is going to be a difficult decision for players who do have not earned sufficient RC or are not able to purchase RC. do not know if the Balloon Machine has appeared (randomly) in the Green Mystrons shop or not.

Incidentally, Fox Balloons are made from Pitaya and Balloon Plants.  

I suggest that players turn off their automatic switch for their Pets, until they have completed the task.  Do not cast a Net either if you wish to complete this Quest quickly, as fishing with a hook is required.  Tending of flowers in the Botanical Garden is required as well as one of the very last tasks.

You will need the Pilaf Stove House Recipe as well.

Pilaf Recipe:
   Ingredients: 2 Beef, 2 Carrots, 1 Wheat, 1 Garlic, 1 Red Bell Pepper, 6 Power
   Place all ingredients and set timer for 27 seconds.  Tap 'Finish' after Bronze Star activates.

Other Strategy Tips
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Do not despair if you are a low level player and cannot complete this Quest with its very extensive Crop requirements.  I suspect that the Balloon Machine now will appear again and again in Quests, however, so suggest you purchase it if you can.  The developers are making it more difficult even for high level farmers.  Witness the recent Sakura Cow Activity which was brutal!

In any case, if you can, complete the Collection Mission in order to obtain the new premium Tree in the form of the Blackthorn Bush.  Unfortunately, it is this Collection Mission that requires the Balloon Machine, costing 20 RC.  There is a task that requires the Balloon Machine as well,  The tree will become available in the Market once the Quest expires, and the traditional Quest moves to the Lighthouse.  Unfortunately, the Tree will have an RC price as well, so it always is good to complete a Collection Mission that is linked to an 11 day Quest if you can.  The traditional Quest sequence can be completed later from the Lighthouse.  These quests are divided into four parts, each of which has four different task groups.  When you complete any quarter, it will count when you later go to the Lighthouse to continue, but if you do not complete a Quarter, you will be forced to perform all the tasks in that group again.

N.B.  The developers included no dialogue for this Quest.

Note from Freyashawk:  I really appreciate the votes farmers give me in the Farm Beauty Contest as a vote of confidence for this site.  I have been maintaining this site for seven years now basically, logging every Quest and new options.  It is a big job, and it has become increasingly difficult for me.  When farmers make the effort to send their votes to HM. Freyashawk in the Farm Beauty Contests, it really does inspire me to continue to update the site.  I write posts for each Beauty Contest to help farmers obtain all of the votes they need from their own farms and the four Characters who vote for different categories.  Your votes to my farm are for RANK, not to achieve the little decoration and the small amount of RC that is given for reaching 6000 votes.  Without neighbour votes, I never could place in the top ten.  I therefore send my heartfelt thanks to every farmer who understands this and votes for HM. Freyashawk.

Secondly, there are a large number of Facebook groups for this game.  I am happy for any of them to post links to my site or at least credit Freyashawk with any information they copy and use.  I work very hard to maintain the site, and credit should be given where credit is due.
