(Above, Final Reward from Quest in the form of Valkyrie Decoration)
A new 11 day Quest has been released in tandem with a Collection Mission. The Reward for completing the Collection Mission is a new Premium Tree in the form of the Guelder Rose Tree. You will need a Soda Machine not only for the Collection Mission but for.a task in the traditional Quest sequence.
Note from Freyashawk: I am touched deeply by the number of farmers who continue to vote for HM. Freyashawk in the Farm Beauty Contest. Amazingly, I almost reached Number 10. 240 votes short this time. It is becoming increasingly difficult for me to maintain an updated site here, but I will do what I can. This game has allowed me to make some wonderful friends through the years. It is this, more than the game itself now, that inspires me to try to continue. This site was created over seven years ago shortly after the game first was released. It was not difficult to cover all aspects of Seaside in those days, but the game has become infinitely more complex over the years, and at the same time, my health has become more precarious. I no longer have the ability to go through all the old posts to update them with new information. You can do a 'Search' on the Home Page of this site for any aspect of the game, and you should find results that are helpful, but they will be OLD posts now.
Note to New or Low Level Farmers:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Try to complete the Collection Mission even if you cannot complete the traditional Quest. You should be able to access the traditional Quest from the Lighthouse when it expires, but the Collection Mission no longer will be available. The Reward for any Collection Mission like this will appear in the Market instead with an RC cost attached to it. Premium Trees tend to be worth more than Collectables, so when the Reward is a Tree like this one, try to complete the Collection Mission.
This one is difficult potentially because it requires a fairly new premium Machine in the form of the Soda Machine. If a Machine appears in a Quest, it probably will appear again in the future. Do not use RC to skip the task. Much better to buy the Soda Machine.
Stove House Recipes have been appearing in every timed Quest recently. The developers tend to use the same ones repeatedly. I have noticed four or five are used again and again. The Hot Maple Ice Cream is one that has been used before. I suggest therefore that you buy it rather than skipping the task.
Shield Collection Mission
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
70 from Cane
50 from Buffalo Milk
(With Monkey Boost to reduce OP, cost to speed 150 Buffalo Milk was 198 OP)
30 from Cola
(Soda Machine, requires Caramel. With Monkey Boost to speed, cost for 100 Cola production was over 300 OP)
10 from Oranges
(Had to harvest 27 times to receive 10 Shields. The number of harvests required is less for a premium Tree, but the Orange Tree is a Coin tree.)
Reward: Guelder Rose Tree
Note that you must have a Soda Machine to complete this Collection Mission. This is a fairly new premium Machine that costs 16 RC. I suspect, however, you will need it in future Missions as well as this one.
Remember that you have almost a fortnight to complete both the Collection Mission and traditional Quest. If, however, you wish to complete them as quickly as possible, set your Monkey Boost to reduce OP cost when using Batch Production. Even with the Boost, speeding the production of the Soda Machine is VERY costly. I was shocked that a machine that requires only a single ingredient would demand a large amount of OP.
Special Tasks:
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
You will not need your Pets to dig Chests, but you will need to be able to use the Treble Hook (so do not cast a Net) and to tend flowers in the Botanical Garden 15 times. You will need the Soda Machine not only for the Collection Mission but for an actual task in the traditional Quest as well.
You will need a Collectable in the form of the Taro Garden. The Taro Garden costs 7 RC. Remember that you can use OP now to speed Harvests of Collectables whether they are placed on the farm or stored in the Collectable House.
You will need the Hot Maple Ice Cream Stove House Recipe to complete the traditional Quest sequence.
