Thanksgiving Performance Quest and Acorn Pendant Collection

(This does not look like pretty Felicia either.  I rather like pretty Felicia in her ballgown and crown performing farm tasks!  Some one reminded me this is Penny.   I do not understand her connection to the Quest but never mind.  When she tends to the cauldron, I recognise her.

My life suddenly has become an exercise in futility as a close family member is demanding I take all my personal possessions from the house and I am very compromised physically with a further deterioration in the condition of my hip and leg.  Without any help, my blood pressure has rocketed.  I apologise but I cannot do more than I can do at the moment.  I also see that votes for HM. Freyashawk have decreased again.  My walkthroughs and guides only are possible because of the money I have to spend to do the quests and activities quickly, alas.   I just spent real cash for the Argan Tree because I will not get this done otherwise this morning.   I think FunPlus is overloading us with new timed activities and frankly I disagree with this philosophy.  How much should I spend and how much time and energy invest in the new Treasure Island activity that operates in the same manner as all those I documented fully in the past?  I am doing the walkthrough but my progress is slow now.

Now I am going to protest on behalf of the farmers at lower levels about the lack of compassion in the Weekly Challenges lately.  They demanded huge amounts of Cornmeal recently.  One cooked dish in the Cooking Stand needed it.  One Challenge in the Community needed it... and now this week, they are demanding we make 800 dishes using cornmeal again.  It is either deliberate to push farmers harder or simply inattentive on the part of those who choose the items that must be made.

I still love my neighbours and friends, but I am not certain how much one person can do to cover Seaside now.

Forest Marathon Treasure Island Activity



Forest Marathon Treasure Island

Remember that the same Energy is used both in the Treasure Island and Cloud Farm.  You can collect from the Cloud Fountain to use in Treasure Island so look at the Fountain periodically if you have unlocked and upgraded it.

As usual, the final Reward is a Float: Champion Float giving 25 OP every four hours if you place it in your Parade.



The Reward you will need in the future is the Bubble Waffle Machine.  You receive that with 1100 Stars.  There are two Rewards in the form of decorations, two Avatars and one Avatar Frame.

The Bubble Waffle Machine is a two ingredient amachine that always requires an Egg.  The Bubble Waffles is makes are:
Fotune Orange
Sweet Potato
Lychee
Mint
Caramel Macaron
Magical Jello

From the list, you can see that two require regular Seaside Crops, one requires an Island Crop, one a Coin Tree, another a Premium Tree and finally the Caramel Macaron Bubble Waffle requires a product from another machine. 

Trader gives either Cotton Candy Machine or 1000 Energy when all toys have been traded.

As you can see, the Cotton Candy Machine was a reward in one of last year's Treasure Islands.
I do not know if a post really is needed.  All the Treasure Island Activities follow the same rules.  I have written detailed Walkthroughs for others.

Why I doubt the real usefulness of any Walkthrough now is the addition of the need for huge quantities of the item that is produced when you clear any object.  So your best strategy now may be to clear everything in sight whether simply for the material or for the Morning Glories.

A neighbour asked for the locations of the three Mary Surprise Cows.  They are included in this walkthrough but you cannot reach them ever if you cannot see them on your Map.  So you need to be close to claim them!

Here is another issue.  Of course, they have cash sales that give materials but you need to clear items yourself for the Star Rewards.  So better to do that.

Star Rewards:

50 Stars: 100 Energy, 5 Diamonds
100 Stars: 200 Energy, 5 Diamonds
200 Stars: 200 Energy, Marathon Bunny Avatar
350 Stars: 200 Energy, 10 Diamonds
500 Stars: 10 Diamonds, Grass Slide
700 Stars: 300 Energy, 15 Diamonds, Universal Outfit Fragment
900 Stars: 300 Energy, 15 Diamonds, Marathon Flag Avatar Frame
1100 Stars: 450 Energy, 20 Diamomds,
Bubble Waffle Machine
1300 Stars: 20 Diamonds, Animated Marathon Bunny Avatar, Forest Windmill
1400 Stars: 450 Energy, 30 Diamonds, 10 Universal Outfit Fragment

1500 Stars: 45 Diamonds, 15 Universal Outfit Fragments


I may simply list the rewards here.

The material you earn from clearing ANY of the items is Morning Glory.

N.B.  All rhe 'special' cash sales they are offering me now near the end of this Marathon give Energy and Marathon Flags.  One item you can make yourself in large quantities in advance is the Marathon Flag if you used the dynamite for 30 Diamonds on the large group of Colourful Flags.  Just keep loading the slots to make them.  Also you need to clear Grass and Bushes for Star Rewards.

2. Fix Starter Stand: 6 Brqnch, 8 Bells, 3 Stone

3.  Break Rocks: 2 Claw Hammers, 3 Shovel, 4 Grass

Find the Trading Energy Fountain to the right.  It cannot be used unless your Energy total is below the cap.  I think it usually is accessible when Energy is 1000 or less but an Energy Benefit Card might allow 2000 as the max.  Mine is too high to test this.  Will confirm later.

The Trader is to the right above it:
If you complete all trades, you can obtain the Cotton Candy Machine or 1000 Energy

Guardians of Azuma, Fateweaver Shrine, all you need to know

Note from Freyashawk: 
I apologise to players of Seaside but this site is more visible than my Guardians of Azuma Site.

This is an aspect of the game few have studied in detail.  It is the ability to have more than one 'life' in a single file without losing any progress you have made.  There is a price to pay and I have written about that in the following post:

https://freyashawkguardiansofazuma.blogspot.com/2025/11/how-fateweaver-shrine-fates-work-in.html?m=1

For some reason, that is not an actual link, but this is a link to my site:

Freyashawk Guardians of Azuma


This game is very generous to the player.  Marvelous Interactive created a major update that could be downloaded free to every player.  It included major new development areas and an ability to increase Bonding or Friendship Levels with surprise rewards.  When one raises a character to Level 12, ome receives the Life-Sized Cutout of that individual.  When you reach Level 15 with your counterpart, you receive your own.  What this means id yhat you can create yourvown charming landscapes for every season and populate them with figures of your favourite people.
Guardiwns of Azuma is a Rune Factory game and Rune Factory is an offshoot of one of the greatest farming series ever known as Harvest Moon.

For me, Guardiqns of Azuma has outstripped everynother game in so many different ways.  The firm that made it declared they wished to create a game that one could play forever if one wished.  The fact that you cwn have 30 different lives with a different spouse and two children for each is amazing.  Or you can be content with one where you live happily ever after.
