For Our Fathers Quest and Wrench Collection Mission

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, the PawPaw Tree.

You will need a Koala to complete the Collection Mission.  You will not have to perform any fishing or Pet Chest collection tasks, but you will need to tend flowers in the Botanical Garden 15 times.

For some reason, 20 Eucalyptus Leaves are added to the usual rewards for each of the tasks from 1 through 4, in addition to Coins and XP Rewards.

Note from Freyashawk:  I am deeply grateful for the continuing support shown for my farm in the Beauty.Contests despite the fact that the contest obviously is neither honest nor fair.  I am saddened to learn that many farmers were not even able to reach 6000 points.  Despite the fact that I received more votes than in prior contests, my farm went from 10th to 17th in the last voting period.  I find it rather depressing that we are not represented at all in the top ranks of this Contest, despite the fact that FunPlus has thousands of farmers from the West.  I am not begrudging the Eastern half of the world its fair portion in this, but why are there NO farms from the West in the top 10 now?  Ever?

it is the improbable totals reached in the last voting period by these 'winners' that frustrate me frankly.  The developers assert it is possible, but I do not believe that.  

My cousin discovered a possible crack in the system when, in the last couple of days of the contest, he and a number of other farmer received Neighbour Requests that, when accepted, did not appear in his Neighbour List.  He therefore was unable to verify if they had farms or actually played the game at all.  He only belongs to one Seaside Group.  His Farm I.D. should not have been available to Russian and Arab groups or farmers who do not belong to the Freyashawk Facebook Group and yet all of these requests were in Cyrillic or Arabic.  Look at the top ranked farms...

It is a pity that this is a competition that is not won fairly.  More, it is a pity that there are two contests going on simultaneously but ONLY ONE SET OF VOTES.  A farmer should be able to give one set of votes to help another farmer reach 6000 and another set of votes for 'Rank'.  That is what I would like to see.  I do not like the idea that votes given to my farm may mean another farmer does not get the rewards.  The developers need to be aware of this unfair situation.  99% of farmers NEVER will rank in the top 100.  Why then not have two separate contests?  Votes above 6000 essentially are wasted on most farms.  6200 Votes is a total that will rank you at 22,000 or some such nonsense, so why not give two sets of votes to farmers?

I do want to thank every one who voted for HM. Freyashawk.  I know it is tiresome and sometimes difficult for many farmers now to load another farm!

Eucalyptus Leaves
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

For the record, I honestly do not comprehend why they are giving farmers Eucalyptus Leaves as a Reward and yet there is a task that requires the harvest of the Eucalyptus.  You have to pay 8 RC to skip the task if you do not have the Tree... so is it really that helpful to give the leaves?

Midsummer Quest and Kupala Wreath Collection Mission

A new 11 Day traditional 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 Bird Cherry Tree.

Collect Kupala Wreaths

Collect 70 from Wheat
Collect 50 from Oat Flour
Collect 30 from Beef Salami
Collect 10 from Sea Buckthorn

Reward: Bird Cherry Tree

Special Tasks:
xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Strategy Tips:

Do not cast a Net and turn of Auto-Collect for your Pets, and do not tend flowers in the Botanical Garden if you wish to complete this as quickly as possible.  You will need to use a Treble Hook when fishing, dig 8 Chests and tend flowers in the Botanical Garden 15 times.

You do have 11 days to complete this quest, so the tips given above are simply for those who complete these timed quests as quickly as possible.

For lower level farmers:  Complete the Collection Mission even if you cannot complete the traditional quest sequence.  The Bird Cherry Tree will become available in the Market once the Quest expires, but it will carry an RC price.  You will NOT find the Collection Mission again.  You should be able to complete the traditional Quest, on the other hand, from the Lighthouse, after the Quest expires.
