Music Festival Treasure Island

Walkthrough complete.

Essentially, Treasure Island posts are walkthroughs without a lot of explanations.  I mainly try to document material requirements.

There is a new option in this one wherein special sales called Piggy Banks become available only when you reach specific goals.  I find this difficult to justify in a way, as what is unlocked in each instance is a cash purchase.

The first of these was unlocked in puzzling fashion when I had reached only 11 of 15 required goals.  Why?  I have no idea but it was a cash purchase for 700 Energy and 20 Diamonds.  When I finished 15 tasks, I was eligible to collect an additional 800 Energy and 30 Diamonds.

At this point, the 2bd Pivgy Bank becomes available.  With 17 out of 25 tasks, you get 700 Energy and 20 Diamonds if you make the same cash payment again.  At 25, you can collect an additional 800 Energy and 30 Diamonds.

There is a catch here:  You cannot use the Trading Energy Fountain if your Energy exceeds a certain total.  So when you purchase a cash 'deal', you lose the ability to trade for energy until you have used most of the Energy you purchased.

Strategy Tip:  Even if you pay cash, you will find your resources reduced to notbing very quickly.  Always take advantage of the Trading Fountain when your Energy total is low BEFORE you collect gift boxes or pay for more resources.

Please note this Activity is extremely long.  Once you complete the first Map, there is a new one that is the same size.

It may be helpful to list the materials with the Energy requirements for each:

Microphone: 43

Large Speaker: 69, 36: 3 Notes

Record Box: 73, 49, 25

Tape Box: 33, 17: 3 Tapes

Largest Tap Player: 48, 33, 17: 6 Tapes

The Phonograph is the Workshop.  Note that there is a second Phonograph behind the Music Stage on the 2nd Islabd.  It requires very little to build it in the form of materials.

The main goal is to collect Stars to obtain all the rewards.  The significant Reward really is the Magic Wand Machine.  I have noticed, however, that the final Reward in these Treasure Island activities will be included as a theme decoration in the next Farm Beauty Contest.

In this case, however, the 'Final Reward' really is not that at all. There is a second map equal in size to the first and the true final reward is a 2nd Float for the Parade that delivers 15 Power on a timer.  I am not there yet but will continue to document.

The Magic Wand Machine you receive as a Star Reward requires Oak Wood and produces the following Wands:

Peacock Magic Wand

Goose Feather Magic Wand

Lucky Star Magic Wand

Phoenix Feather Magic Wand

Elderberry Magic Wand

Spooky Eye Magic Wand

There is another new option in the form of the Elephant Buglar that is a Lucky Wheel that gives no real rewards apart from the small amount of Energy given for rhe completion of any task.  It has a total point requirement and 25 Energy is required for every spin until you reach the required total in every instance.  It is used simply as a task.

Summer Road Trip Quest and Suitcase Collection Mission

Note from Freyashawk:  Dear friends, I thank you for every vote you sent in the Farm Beauty Contest and although I never reached the top 10, I know every vote I received was from a real farmer who appreciates my work.  I am grateful after all these years to know it still matters.

My dear Leo, one of my Himalayan cats, who is 18 (and was born in my lap because his mother did not understand what was happening to her!) is dying slowly.  If you understand the deep love we have for our faithful animal companions, please send your healing wishes, prayers or hopes that he goes gently without fear at the end.  He is one of the gentlrst and sweetest.  I only look at him and he will purr, even now.

Happy Mother's Day Quest and Greeting Card Collection Mission

Happy Mother's Day!

There are so many dates for this festival depending on your culture and geographical location.  It was celebrated with the appearance of this new Moon in Nepal.  In the United States, celebration will take place on Sunday.  Mothering Sunday in England was celebrated some time ago.

In the Roman Catholic Church, the month of May is dedicated to the greatest of mothers in this tradition: the Holy Virgin, the 'Madonna'.

'Mother Nature' has many names and roles, but she too deserves recognition I think.

I somehow feel that the celebration of the birthday of any child is the real Mother's Day for that child's mother.  It is an experience, a miracle, no mother ever forgets.  Mother's Day actually is the day when the child can reciprocate by acknowledging the gift of life and devotion that defines the role of Mother.

Good, bad or indifferent, the bond between parent and child may be more significant than any other.

May all Mothers and their Children find blessings in remembering this bond.

In my own life, my animals and other pets are my children as well.  They depend entirely upon me and their love really does reflect the love of a child for a mother.  So it can be a day to celebrate those relationships as well.

Note from Freyashawk:

Greeting to all who use this site.  I really have tried to do more recently in terms of logging activities and quests.  My efforts were rewarded when farmers voted me into the top 10 again, but this Farm Beauty Contest, my rank is lower than it has been for awhile.  Please do consider voting for HM. Freyashawk.  I never request money, gift cards or Friendship Flowers.  I ask for nothing but your votes.  I cannot achieve rank without neighbour votes.  Any farmer can reach 6000 votes if investment is made in the game.  No one can achieve rank honestly without the votes of others.  Many thanks.  I know it is childish to seek validation but the site does represent years of time, energy and my own investment in the game when needed to log an activity or quest.  And this site is available to every one.   

It actually is important mainly to be able to gauge whether or not it still makes sense to update it.  I no longer see any tracker that would tell me how many users access it.   Many thanks in advance.
