9th Anniversary Activity Stage

This is a cooperative effort.  All ant farmer needs to do is collect 20 Anniversary Crop Seeds per day, grow and then harvest them.  After harvesting, the farmer needs to donate them to help Darryl and Felicia make an Anniversary Cake.  The total required is 65000000 seeds.  We have reached the second of three Reward goals with four more days to go.  There is absolutely no reason to badger players to keep mature Anniversary Crops on their farms instead of donating them.  A visiting neighbour may or may not be able to Harvest one Crop from a neighbour's farm.

Some one devised the idea of players adding a 9 to their farm names to show they were keeping mature Anniversary Crops on their farms.  This should be optional.  The game rules simply ask you to plant, harvest and donate your 20 Crops each day.

What is disturbing to me is the judgemental nature towards farmers who are not following this unofficial protocol.  Complaints against high level players especially.   If one thinks about it for a moment, the high level player has worked very hard for many years to reach maximum level.  Often, he or she lacks the time, energy or enthusiasm now to let every single task in a game that becomes increasingly complex and demanding.  If the player is planting and donating Crops, that should be sufficient.

When you visit a neighbour, it always Is positive to find Crops on the Farm but sometimes players harvest in haste with the cropinator and are forced to leave the game without replanting.  Even without across, you can clean gift boxes.  There always are rewards when you visit a neighbour.

Please be kind and understanding of your neighbours.  Many are disabled, elderly, or caring for a loved one who demands constant attendance.  Seaside is a game, nor a religion or a job.  Tey not to make your neighbours feel they are disappointing or failing you if they cannot do as much as you do.  Seaside may consist of virtual farms but they are created and maintained by ml people.

As for the 9th Anniversary Activity, I would have thought players would have bern happy that every one will obtain all the rewards.  We can all win here.

Vote for Me Quest and Microphone Collection Mission

A new 11 day traditional 16 part quest sequence has been released in tandem with a Collection Mission.

I always urge farmers to try to complete the Collection Mission even if they cannot complete the quest sequence, as the quest can be completed usually from the Lighthouse once the 11 day time limit expires.  Recently, the developers have bern using new premium Animsls and Machines in these Collection Missions.  If you are serious about the game, you need to purchase these RC items.  Failing to do so simply places you at an increasing disadvantage ultimately.  For this Mission, you need the Gummy Bear Machine.  Remember always that you can exchange green mystrons each day for 1 RC.  The price set is random, buy if you are d a diligent player, you should be able to collect RC this way on a daily basis.

Special Tasks:

Fish 8 times with Squid Hook

Dig 15 Chests

Tend Botanical.Garden 12 times 

Laab Stovehouse Recipe

Please be aware that any farmer with a fully upgraded Botanical Garden should NOT need Friendship Flowers.  There are plots for 12 flowers on your own side of the Garden.  As far as registration of any new Friendship Flower is concerned, you now can register your own Friendship Flower, so there no longer is a need to ask a neighbour to give or lend you one for registration

Farm Beauty Contest Tips

Every Farm Beauty Contest, I see farmers begging for votes, usually because they are not obtaining sufficient votes from the four characters.  They  may offer to 'exchange' with some one, or simply say they are not making the goal, without being specific.

There are two easy ways to make certain your Farm achieves the total of 4000 or 6000 votes by the end of any contest.

1.  Make certain you have invested in enough theme items to reach a total of 200 votes daily from your own characters, and 300 daily for the maximum rewards at 6000.

In all honesty, the Decoration Reward given at 4000 votes is more important than the rewards given at 6000.

The very best way to take the stress out of the contest is by judicious purchase of one or more premium items with cash, especially those that are worth 9 votes daily for theme.  These premium items are featured again and again in the Beauty Contests.  Completing the new base quickly by using RC will increase theme by 9 votes daily as well.

I know there are players who make a point of not investing real money in these 'free' games.  The problem here is that some one has to pay, or the game will fail ultimately.  People will buy a book, a subscription to a service like Netflix, go to a restaurant, buy a cup of coffee somewhere, and yet draw a line when it comes to gamed.  Yet you are investing a great deal of labour and time in this virtual world, and without financial backing from some one, it will collapse.  The amount of money required now to purchase all the premium items each month is ridiculous, but a small regular investment is very different.  

The Lucky Wheel always includes theme items.  You can use RC to purchase these.

The other category where players fall short is the Pet category.  Four pets fully attired and equipped are required on the Farm for maximum votes.  Spend once and they will be good for every contest.

Another way to make your Farm self-sufficient is by having a second farm.  It is not cheating if you work a second farm to create votes for your primary farm.

You can persuade a family member on Facebook to create a farm, or you can create a new Farm through Gane Centre on any Apple device.  You still may be able to register a separate Farm through Google as well.  You need to be at Level 40 to give 4 votes, 50 for 5 and 60 for 6.  Having a second farm can help you with materials your first farm may require as well.

There are two separate contests here.  One is for the declaration and avatar.  The other is for rank.  HM. Freyashawk only asks for votes for rank, and only to show continued support for this site.  If this site has become obsolete, I will pack it in.  I created it over eight years ago as a free service for players, with access for every one.  It did not require Facebook or Google membership or registration.  I wanted to share information with every one if I could.  I never wanted to see it as a popularity contest.  I am not very competitive that way.

Any farmer should be able to complete the requirements for the ordinary contest without neighbour votes, but the only way to achieve rank is from neighbour votes.

The other requirements for character votes are simple.  A variety of Crops, Animals, Machines, Trees, and a decent total of Landscape Points from the use of paths with decorations.

Comic Lover Quest and Hero Badges Collection Mission

11 day Quest in tandem with Collection Mission.

Special Tasks and Tips:

You need to fish 8 times with the Dolphin Hook

You need to tend flowers 12 times.  That means your own side of the Garden should be full.  No need to ask neighbours for friendship flowers

You need the Norwegian Wheat Porridge Stovehouse Recipe

You need the Sand Scupting Machine for the Collection Mission

One other strategy tip: When the Collection Mission involves a coin tree like the Almond Tree, the drop rate of the special quest item is far lower than it would be from a premium tree.  I usually find a coin tree (non premium tree) needs at least 30 harvests to collect the items.  Instead of using watering cans, buy multiple Almond Trees.  You can sell them after you achieve the required total.

Note from Freyashawk: A new Farm Beauty Contest has started.  Before the last reset, my farm, HM. Freyashawk ranked No. 7, thanks to your real votes.  By the end of the contest, in one voting period, my rank had dropped to 14.  How is it possible for farmers to gain that many votes in a single voting period?  It is not possible using legitimate methods.  I would ask that farmers challenge the numbers gained by the top winners again.  The ranking part of the contest is corrupt.  That is depressing when farmers take their time and energy to vote for some one who actually should have reached the top 10.  I am not the only farmer cheated by hackers every single contest.

They need to eliminate the rank half of the contest or make it honest.

Note that increased theme decorations helps farmers gain a better total from the characters.

Please note that I still make errors when texting with numbers.  Any harvest from a tree or any dish prepared in the kitchen should be a total of 8.  Any crop harvest task will be 40 to 60.  I am sorry, but it is difficult to use this app.  I try to publish quickly.  I do not always have time to proof instantly.  I notice one problem with the app is that I cannot view the entire post.  It makes it more difficult to catch typos.  I see only a few lines of the text at a time.
