Christmas Fair Cloud Farm

This is a 9 day Activity resembling the Collection Missions on Seaside when, claiming one each of the lower prizes will unlock the final Reward.
The final Reward in this case is a Christmas 'skin' for the Prismatic Patisserie.  The skin knocks 30 seconds from production time.

The Cloud Christmas Tree costing 250 Tokens gives Energy five times and then Cloud Farm Gift Bags.  It gave 200 Energy the first time.  It appears that the energy gift does not vary.

As of 26 December, gift boxes that cost 1 Energy to open and contain 30 Energy apoear periodically on the Cloud Farm.
A nice touch!

Note that a third bar appears in the Lab for 'Cloud Farm Techs'.  The techs are given below.

To earn Tokens, you can:
1. Produce limited time items
2. Use Christmas Fireworks Gift Bags
3. Complete Orders on the Cloud Farm

There are seasonal items that appear randomly now similar to those that appeared at the Hallowe'en season.

One yields Christmas Holly using 64 Energy.  The other uses 54 Energy and yields Christmas Bauble Orange

There is a Christmas Bauble Orange Mulled Wine: 4 Christmas Bauble Orange + 1 Spirit Mouse Candy

There is a Christmas Holly Candy Cane= 3 Christmas Holly + 1 Celestial Apple

If you actually wish to earn the tokens, you must sell the items you made from your Gift Box and then tap on the Tokens in your gift box to add them to your total.

From Christmas Holly Candy Cane, 8 Tokens and 20 Energy the first time, but it is random.  I received only 4 Tokens and 30 Energy the next time.
From the Mulled Wine, 5 Tokens, 5 Energy... and so on.  Kind of unfair.  I did receive 1 RC as well as Tokens and Energy with one item, but that was once only.

If you completed 35 Orders before this release, you cannot earn any tokens from Orders until reset.

The final prize requires 300 Tokens.

Christmas Fireworks Gift Bag had 5 Tokens, 1 Blue Mystron, 10 Coins

Note that when you visit a farm that used Fireworks, you can claim a fireworks bag that holds 1 Token.

Warning:  This activity uses a tremendous amount of Energy.  I am at Level 13, and have upgraded the Celestial Fountain a couple of times, but I have used over 5000 Energy and have not been able to claim the Cloud Christmas Tree yet!

Being required to spend 500 Energy before I can claim 35 Energy back at the Fountain is inadequate.

Snowy Christmas Quest and Christmas Candle Collection Mission



Wishing all a blessed Christmas,  whatever name you give this event.  It is the Winter Solstice as well.
I believe it is a reminder for all of us that life is reborn and Light will emerge somehow from the Darkness.

I know it has been a terrible year for many.  A year of loss, a year of pain... but let there be moments still of joy and beauty. And above all, friendship and love, and the strength that comes from those fundamental gifts.
May there be an end to suffering and despair.

From a poet killed last year:
'If I must die,
You must live to tell my story...
Buy a piece of cloth and some strings,
(Make it white with a long tail)
So that a child...
Sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above,
and thinks for a moment an angel is there,
Bringing back love.
If I must die,
Let it bring hope.
Let it tell a story.'
(By Refaat alareer, killed last December
Poem: 'If I must Die.
The entire poem is worth reading.)

Photo Studio Activity December


Guide essentially complete as of 14 December.  

All of these Photo Studio Activities follow the same path.

The ultimate goal can be found by tapping on the large star in the top left of the screen.  There are 25 Levels and two separate paths.  The 'Free' path and rewards are available to all.  The VIP Pass path requires a cash purchase but fives you a new Animal in the form of a Christmas Dragon at Level 20 and a Christmas Carriage Red Box decoration at Level 25.  With the Free path, the final Reward is a Festive Dragon Blue Box decoration at Level 25.

The Christmas Dragon eats Lucky Stars to produce Chrustmas Gift Bags.

Fill the Orders that appear on the left.  Merge the items on the map.  The number of orders will increase ultimately from two to four as your level increases.

This Photo Studio has a Christmas craft theme.

The 'Bubbles' that appear with items inside them are on a timer.  To burst the bubble to make them permanent, you can pay the gem value, use an Ad Skip Card or watch an advert.  It can become costly if you yield to too many temptations to retrieve these items.  Only use the options for the highest level item that allows this with the free options.  I only use gems if I really want to save a high level item.

Note that this Activity has an option to restore Energy, but only when your own Energy goes below 100 or 150 depending on your specific cap.  A timer will activate and Energy increases by two points every minute.

One small tip:  the temporary generator in the form of the Knitted Mittens has a lifespan of 20 items.  Randonly, it can become an Order.  Make certain you do not fill that Order until you produce 19 items from it and the count shows that only one remains.  I sometimes place a Knitted Mitten that has been reduced to 1 in my backpack in case such an Order appears.

Another tip is the Power Boost.  I usually have that activated, but it will prevent you from generating a Level 1  item.  Shut it off temporarily to produce Level 1 items from your generators to complete your chains.

There is a small reward for producing every new item in the Book.

Another situation that is both a benefit and a detriment is the Double Experience points timer.  This only activates at higher levels BUT only when your Energy is low.  Every Order you fill will be worth double the usual points until the timer expires.  When you run out of Energy, a special cash offer will activate in an effort to induce you to use cash to invest before the timer expires.  This does allow you to raise your Level quickly, however.

I have confirmed this now!  The Double Experience Point Bonus will not activate unless your Energy is low, below your cap.  Mine only activated at Level 23!

I do every activity first payibg through to write. Walkthrough like this and then a second time on my lower level farm to see how well one can do if one cannot spend a lot of cash on it.  On my little farm, therefore, thd Double Experience Bonus first activated at Level 11 because I had no Energy reserves.  I then thoughr of a very useful strategy to share here:

When your Energy goes below the cap and is almost entirely gone, do NOT fill the Orders on the Board.  Instead, create all of the items needed to fill the Orders but wait for the Double Experience Bonus to activate and then fill them all for double point value.

Maximum benefit from the activity requires that you pay attention to the board or map and to the Orders constantly.

The map or board has locked squares.  At each new Level, a couple of theae are unlocked.  Some hold new generators.  Others hold items that can be merged.  There is an advantage to having clear spaces on the Board.

At Level 0, you have the Small Craft Box that creates Letter Writing items

At Level 2, merge for Medium Craft Box that creates Paper Trinkets

At Level 4, you unlock the Small Knitting Basket that creates Knitwear

It also produces the Knitted Mitten that is a temporary Generator that produces Snowmen items.

At Level 5, a third Order is added.

At Level 6, you unlock the Christmas Stall that is generates Gingerbread items.

At Level 7, the Power Boost is unlocked.  Tap the switch to produce a higher level of item whenever you use a generator.  Energy cost is higher when the Power Boost is activated.

At Level 8, you unlock your first recipe generator 
in the form of a Purple Christmas Stocking that requires:
Paper Bell + Gingerbread Xmas Tree = Christmas Tree

A fourth Order appears at  Level 10.

At Level 10, you unlock the Medium Knitting Basket thst simply generates higher level  Knitting items.

At Level 12, you unlock the Small Santa's Hut that generates Santa items of apparel.

At Level 14, you unlock the Christmas Shop that now generates Chocolate as well as Gingerbread.

At Level 16, you unlock a second recipe from the Green Christmas Stocking.
Snowman Base + Medium Hot Cocoa= Snowman Ice Cream

At Level 18, you unlock the Large Craft Box.  No new items but generates higher levels

At Level 20, you unlock the Large Knitting Basket.  No new items.

At Level 22, you unlock the Large Santa's Hut that generates both Santa and Reindeer items.

At Level 24, you unlock the third and last recioe in the form of the Pink Christmas Stocking.
Santa's Gifts + Magical Reindeer = Christmas Sleigh

Pocket Camp Complete Review

This post has no direct connection to Seaside, but many of the same individuals who are attracted to games like Seaside love Animal Crossing as well.  In fact, during the pandemic,  Animal Crossing becane a sort of alternate reality for individuals across the entire globe.  It may have been the most played game and individuals who never played a game were inspired to become involved with Nintendo's immersive and deligbtful world of talking animals and museum collections of fossils, insects and fish as well as landscapng and the cross-breeding of flowers.

Animal Crossing originally was designed for the GameCube.  I wrote a guide that was over 1000 pages for that game and it later was released for handheld systems like the DS.

The Animal Crossing New Horizons game for the Switch was the version that took the world by storm during the pandemic.  People were desperate for a safe exit of any kind from the prisons of their own homes in situations of lockdown.  Animal Crossing gave them that and more.

Seven years ago, Nintendo released a sort of free companion game for mobile devices entitled Pocket Camp.  It was a smaller version of the Animal Crossing vision.  Originally, players had a caravan instead of a house to decorate as well as a canpsite but the game was expanded to include a house wirh three floors.

Like every AC game, it was a game of friendships with animals combined with interior and exterior designs of a caravan, house and campsite and the collection of an enormous variety of fish and insects as well as furnishings and a huge array of clothing.  As it was a 'free' game like Seaside, premium items gradually were introduced but the game never became egregiously expensive.

At the end of November, Nintendo shut down the original Pocket Camp but offered an inexpensive new paid version of the game.  Nintendo always has been conscious of the emotional investmrnt of its players as well as the time spent in its virtual worlds.  The new paid Animal Crossing Complete allows a player to keep all existing items from the original but after the purchase of the paid game for a rather inexpensive price, there are no premium items and nothing requires payment in actual cash.

Any version of AC is a collection game.  Items are unlocked in different ways.  There are special collections and landscapes for every season and it is at your campsite that you can create an amazing world for yourself still.

For my part, the extraordinary seasonal landscapes, especially Sakura theme for Spring, falling maple leaves for Autumn and many different landscapes with festive lights and snowy trees and rivers for Christmas made me feel the new game had value.

In seven years, I had become less hardworking in the old game.  If I needed a fish or insect to give to an Animal, I usually could find it in a friend's market stall.  One could buy out of events to some extent.  I still played every day but spent very little time on it.

The new version has revitalised my interest.  The fact that one never needs to spend actual cash again creates a new dynamic.  If a player wants something, it must be earned, but rewards are easily earned and very generous.  With the new currency,  I was able to outfit my character in adorable Christmas attire I could noy havr ad
afforded in the original.  The current lists of special items to add to the catalogue are available for a month.  The pressure is gone now.  There is no pressure either from other players.  Every player can save up to 20 different landscapes and designs now and every player has an Animal helper who will  collect useful items throughout the day.  These were premium options in the other version.

Coins and Leaf Tickets as well as special new themed collections are earned in timed events.

You will unlock new Animals by sending Gulliver's ship out to sea and then using Blather's
Map to bring the Animal to your island.  Every Animal has a special item of furniture that is unlocked for you to craft at a specific level.  Crafting is very much a part of this game.  Items crafted are added to your catalogue and can be used on your campsite, in your caravan, in the house, or stored or sold.

You can fish, catch insects or grow flowers as gifts to Animals to raise their friendship levels and gain rewards.

Animal Crossing is a charming, slow paced game that is educational as well as somehow a stress reducer.

When I have recovered more from these surgical procedures necessitated by a new cancer that invaded, I will write a post with strategy 'tips and tricks', that really are gameplay suggestions really based on the new version.

Meanwhile, if you love Sraside but are finding it increasingly expensive and stressful, you might enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Pocket Camp Complete.  The graphics and Toy Day items are truly magical, especially at this holiday season.

Cloud Farm, Lv. 12 -15, Cloud Lab Level 7 +

My first Cloud Farm post has all information up to Lab Level 7.

As of 1 January 2025, I reached Level 14 unlocking the Watermelon Ice Crystal Juice.
Upgrading information for 4 Water Jugs and Fountain that gives 40 Energy is included.  To upvrade to 5 Jugs and 50 Energy, you need an outfit that is unlocked only at Level 15.
Requirements given at the end of this post.
I also reached Cloud Lab Level 9 to unlock new techs.

As of 27 December, I added two Cloud Farm Lab Techs and new Quests.  Information complete through Level 13.

This one will include the new levels up to Level 15 with upgrade requirements.

It might be useful to remind farmers how to register Cloud Farm items in the Gallery.  Although there is a menu in the upowr right that will take you directly to the Gallery, any Cloud items you own will NOT be recognised if you go directly to the Gallery using that icon.

Instead, you must tap on the yellow arrow at the bottom right when you are on the Cloud Farm.  You then must tap directly on the item you wish to register to initiate registration.  I had forgotten this was the case and was dismayed that ownership of my Ice Crystal Butterfly Deer was not displayed when I accessed the Gallery directly from the menu at the top.

Note that a third bar appears in the Lab for 'Cloud Farm Techs'. The techs are given below.
The new Animal will not even appear in the Cloud Farm at low levels.  I was able to claim it but I was at Level 12 before the update.

I contacted Support to find out the actual requirement and it is that you have unlocked the area that contains the Cloud Farm Lab.  If you have not reached this point, you will not be able to perform the quest that gives you the Ice Crystal Butterfly Deer.

Here is the good news.  If you are not able to see and claim the new Ice Crystal Butterfly Deer in the next 9 days, it evidently will be found in the Shop in the future.  

More than one farmer had asked about Production Overview.  There are two techs.  One for Seaside and the other for the Island.  Both operate the same way.

What it really is for the farmer is a way to minimise taps.  Instead of tapping multiple times to fill machines and animals to full capacity, tap once and the rest is done automatically.  

In similar fashion, tap once to collect all finished products from every animal or machine.

No cost in OP to use the tech.

To raise the Cloud Lab to Level 7, you will need:

50 Starfruit Serum
150 Star Princess Gown
2 Fortune Badges
15000 Cloud Coins

Level 7 at this point is the MAX for the Lab.
