Tractor Race Quest and Key Rings Collection Mission

(Photograph of the Flower Fairy Decoration from the previous Quest and the new Boy Flower Fairy Decoration from the current Quest: a very charming pair!  Note that both Flower Fairy Decorations now are stackable on the Farm Pool Base)

(Above, Girl and Boy Flower Fairies on Farm Pool Base)

A new 11 day Quest has begun.  As usual, a traditional quest sequence was released in tandem with a Collections Mission.

The reward for the Key Rings Collections Mission is a new Stove House Recipe, the Shakshouka Recipe.  You will need a Kumquat Tree to complete this Collection Mission.  The Recipe is given below.

Any one is welcome to post a link to this page in his/her Facebook Group but please do not rip the text without giving credit to Freyashawk.  I work hard to log these quests myself and I am happy to share with every one, but have the decency to credit me, please.

Harvest Moon FDC and Farm Beauty Contest
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My heartfelt gratitude to all farmers who were kind enough to vote for Freyashawk's Harvest Moon FDC in the Farm Beauty Contest.  I could not have reached Number 5 worldwide without you!  If you feel my site is useful, please consider voting for Harvest Moon FDC in the next Contest.  I never allow any advertising on my site, and spend real money to complete quests as quickly as possible.   (For example, I spend 12 RC to skip the Collections Mission today.  Will go back and do it AFTER the quest is complete.) This is the only reason I feel justified in asking for your support in the contests and not because I am a better farmer than my wonderful neighbours and friends!

Strategies for Quest
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I added these lists last time and players found them useful.  The following are the lists of Crops that you need to plant for the traditiional Quest sequence as well as the Machines and Animals on which Batch Production can be used to speed your progress.

Crop List
xxxxxxxx

Crops you will need to plant and harvest:

40 Clover
40 Oats
50 Pasture
50 Sweet Potatoes
50 Cassava (Island)

Daisies for Collection Mission

Batch Production List
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Remember that you now can set Batch Production for any Animal or Machine and store it temporarily in the Warehouse when the production is complete to avoid collection before it is needed for a task.  Here is a list of items that can be produced in this fashion for the Quest:

20 Bottles of Milk
40 Bags of Oat Flour
40 Sugar
50 Beef
6 Smoked Mackerel
50 Wool
50 Cassava Flour (Island)
30 Alpaca Hair
30 Cranberry Pies (Island)
30 Alpaca Hair Yarn (Island)
30 Toy Alpacas
30 Red Teddy Bears
30 Blueberry Pies (Island)

Batch Production that cannot be initiated in advance:

20 Eggs (This one CANNOT be produced in advance because the task is FEEDING them, not producing the eggs.)

Toy Machine
xxxxxxxxxxx

You will need a Toy Machine to complete all Tasks in the Quest sequence.  The Toy Machine is available again for a limited time in the Market in the Machine department.  You can find it randomly at any time in the Green Mystrons Shop but if you wish to buy it outright, it will cost 800 Coins.  You then need to complete it before you can use it.

Completing a Toy Machine requires the following:

Incomplete Machine: 800 Coins
5 Gear (Neighbour Request or 1 RC each)
5 Screws (Neighbour Request or 1 RC each)
1 Filter (1 RC)
3 Switch (3 RC each)

In other words, you must spend a total of 10 RC to complete the Toy Machine.  The materials that require RC to purchase sometimes may appear randomly in the Coin Mystery Shop for 60,000 Coins, according to members of our Family Farm Seaside Freyashawk group.

Trees to Harvest
xxxxxxxxxxxxx

When a recipe calls for a fruit harvested from a Tree, you can buy the fruit/product from the Flea Market if you do not own the Tree.  If, however, the actual task is harvesting a specific Tree, you need to have the Tree itself or skip the Task.  The following Trees must be harvested:

Kumquat (Collection Mission)
Almond
Maple
Sakura
Lychee

Of these, the Almond, Maple and Lychee Trees can be purchased with Coins in the regular Market.

Shakshouka Recipe
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The new Stove House Recipe, like most of those that are earned as Rewards for completing a Collection Mission is very simple and cooks quickly.  The ingredients are:

3 Cheddar Cheese
3 Eggs
1 Roasted Tomato Soup (2 Ketchup, 1 Egg Soup.  Egg Soup is made with 1 Egg, 1 Seaweed)
2 Red Peppers

Add all ingredients and cook.  You have to finish it within 20 seconds.   The Dish requires 6 Power.

(Thanks to Elizabeth Howard Puglisi, one of our valued administrators in the Family Farm Seaside Freyashawk Group.  She performed the Collection Mission I skipped temporarily.)

My note:  You can complete the Dish by tapping 'Finish' as soon as the Star activates at 16 seconds.

Fish for Mackerel 6 times
  Skip for 6 RC

  Use the Boost with the Treble Hook to catch 2 Mackerel.  If you are not familiar with the 'Boost' option, it can be activated when you have chosen any specific hook by tapping on the hook and then using the menu there to find the specific item you need to catch.  You have 7 tries by default.  The boost will take three of those tries but will guarantee that the item you hook is the one you have chosen.  You still have to catch it, though!  Thus, with 7 tries, you can use the Boost option twice here to catch 2 Mackerel.  You then either can purchase 5 more tries for 200 TC to give you two more Boosts for 2 more Mackerel or simply wait for time to work its magic to regain 7 tries.  You will need a total of 18 tries using the Boost to catch 6 Mackerel.  Otherwise, you simply can take your chances using the Treble Hook again and again until you have 6 Mackerel or skip the task or part of it using RC.  Note that another task below requires 6 Mackerel!

Collection Set

Tearful Rose Quest and Rose Ice Cream Collections Mission

My visions of these Fairies are derived from the fabulous works of Cicely Mary Barker.  The Rose Fairy is shown above.

(Screenshots of two of the characters in the Quest tale made by the incomparable Madame Alexander.  The Rose Fairy was made in the late 1990s as a special limited edition.  The exquisite Fairy Queen dates from the late 1930s and has what is known as the 'Princess Margaret' face because the mould originally was created for a Princess Margaret doll.  I guess you may be able to tell that I love dolls myself and have collected them for years, although nothing as pristine as the Fairy Queen.  My own Fairy Queen is rather tattered and missing her wand and tag, although I still find her beautiful and was indeed lucky to find her at all!)

(Above, screenshot of the actual Flower Fairy Decoration Reward, final Reward for completing the traditional Quest sequence.)

The Reward for the Collections Mission is a new 'Collectable' in the form of the Buttercream Stand which means that you must complete this Collections Mission in order to have it on your Farm while the Quest is active.

Farm Pool Base
xxxxxxxxxxxxx

There was a glitch wherein some players received the third material from the Daily Quest Iron and Silver Chests rather than the Turf Grass.  The developers extended the collection by one day so if you do not have 12 yet, take advantage on Friday, 14 July to collect 2 more.  The item can be purchased for 1 RC as well from the Base Menu.

The third material now should be available in the form of the Clay Bag from the highlighted Order on the Daily Order Board.  You may need to refresh the Orders today or wait until reset.

Note from Freyashawk
xdxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

First, it has come to my attention that administrators or members of OTHER groups are copying and pasting my guide without giving credit to this site.  If you have your own group, you are welcome to share the link to this post but please do not copy my work without giving me credit.  There is no reason on earth to do that!

Second, if you find my work helpful, I would appreciate your votes in the Farm Beauty Contest for Harvest Moon FDC.  Please be aware that there are other farms with the name of Harvest Moon but mine is Harvest Moon FDC and the avatar is Freyashawk's Facebook avatar of a hawk in a tree against a dark sky.   I know it is a silly concern, but I do work hard to keep players informed and I use my farm aids and sometimes real cash to speed quests for the site.  So many thanks to all those who show their appreciation by voting for Harvest Moon FDC.  After four years, I sometimes grow a little weary and your votes really do inspire me.

Summer Vacation Farm Beauty Contest

Here is the link to the current timed Quest:

Farm Fiesta Quest and Cocktails Collections Mission

A new Farm Beauty Contest has started.  You really do need to maximise the Votes from the four Characters if you wish to achieve the Decoration at 4000 Votes or the Avatar at 6000 Votes.  Asking for Votes from other players is NOT the answer unless you are very close to 200 Votes per day from the 4 Characters or 300 Votes per day from the same 4 Characters.

It is the current photograph or Snapshot of your Farm that is the basis for ALL Votes, not the current state of your Farm if you changed anything.  In other words, take your time to organise your Farm BEFORE you take the initial 'Snapshot' for entry to the Contest.  This can make a big difference as every day counts in these contests.

The key to this is balance.  You need to have a variety of Crops on the Farm.  Try to have 16 different Crops growing... the total number needed may be lower from 12 to 13 but it is easy to grow different Crops and you have nothing to lose.

You need to have at least 12 different Machines on your Farm to obtain the maximum Votes for Machines from Dad.  Some players claim that the Salad Machine has counted as two Machines in the past but again, to be safe, move as many Machines onto your Farm as possible before you take your initial Snapshot.

Do the same with respect to your Trees.  You need a variety of Trees.  Duplicates never count.  Most players should not have any trouble in placing 16 different types of Trees on the farm.  I believe that the total needed is less, possibly 12 or 13 but again, it does no harm to be safe.

Finally, there are the Animals.  Butterfly Houses and Beehives of each type count as Animals and every type counts as a different Animal.

Landscape Points count for Votes with three of the Characters.  You do not even need 2300 Landscape Points to maximise these votes.  I believe the actual total is close to 2250 points but need to confirm for the current contest.  Recently, the game changed to add Landscape Points to Charm Points for a new total.  I will try to pinpoint the number required for maximum votes.

Expansions are another good source of votes.  You only need to have performed a few expansions to gain maximum votes from Felicia and Dad for expansions.

Another category is your Gallery.  Now that you can register Crops and other items, even low level players should be able to maximise votes for a good Gallery.  Votes are based on the totals of the items you have registered.  Your Gallery 'upgrades' at specific totals.

Finally there are votes for a 'high level' farm.  I have not achieved the maximum on Harvest Moon FDC yet because I believe you have to be at Level 150 now for this.

'Theme' gives votes from three of the four Characters.  Your best bet to maximise your Theme Votes if you have not played long or did not collect Reward Decorations for any other reason would be to purchase the Otter in a Tube from the special sale offer in the top right of the screen.  It is expensive but if you are not at maximum for Theme, it can give you 9 extra Votes for theme each day from the Characters.  If you are unwilling or unable to do that, at least place the new Farm Pool Base for 9 more Votes per day for theme.

Here are screenshots of all Theme Items and below, names and descriptions of each, as well as where they can be obtained if not strictly available in the past.  New Decorations have appeared in the Lucky Wheel, will add prices when they are changed from their current prices of 999 RC which has to be an error!

Farm Pool Base
xxxxxxxxxx

The Farm Pool Beach Base is one of the few Decorations that will give you 3 Votes from each of three of the Characters every day.  You will find the unfinished Base as well as all the first Materials needed in one of Felicia's Messages.  After claiming the item in the message, you should be able to find it in your Gift Box to place on the farm.  You can obtain the 2nd Material, the Turf Grass, in the first two Chests in the Daily Quest Path until 13 July.  Some farmers, including me, received the
Clay Bag instead on the first day.  We will be in trouble unless the developers exchange them for Turf Grass or extend the deadline by another day.

Other Theme Items:

Freyashawk and Harvest Moon FDC
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

As always, my farm Harvest Moon FDC would appreciate any and all votes that you can spare. There are benefits to voting even if you are weary of the whole business.  You obtain Purple Mystrons each day from the chest you can collect only if you vote for some one.  If you wish to vote for me, make certain that it is Harvest Moon FDC and not simply Harvest Moon as my farm has FDC in the name as well (initials stand for Freyashawk de Conde).   My avatar is the photograph of a hawk against a dark sky.  I realise (with some sorrow) that it may have been a pigeon and not an actual peregrine but I prefer the possibility that it was a local peregrine I photographed in the tree behind the house long ago!  I do maintain this site without ever allowing advertising and entirely without pay or any sort of compensation, so if you find my work helpful, please consider voting for Harvest Moon FDC.  I do have space for a couple of new neighbours.  If you join our Facebook Group, Family Farm Seaside Freyashawk, you will be able to add me easily.

Farm Fiesta Quest and Cocktail Collections Mission

You are welcome to post a link to this page on your Facebook Group but please make certain that you credit the author,  Freyashawk which is the name I have used for two decades to write strategy guides.  You are welcome as well to join our Facebook group for this game, Family Farm Seaside Freyashawk.  Perhaps these groups are outdated now that they have added Chat options to the game, but you will find that we have many useful options in the group itself as well as some wonderful members.

I would like to add a note of thanks to every one who voted for my farm, Harvest Moon FDC in the last Farm Beauty Contest.  I never liked the contests that much because I feel that all players deserve both the Decoration and the Avatar Rewards and really, the 'Beauty' Contests have nothing whatsoever to do with beauty.  On the other hand, your Votes are a way of letting me know that the work I do on this site is helpful and I am grateful!  My heartfelt thanks once again.

The Reward for the Collections Mission is another Stove House Recipe in the form of the Empanadas Recipe.  The instructions are given in the task that requires the dish.

Collections Mission
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

70 Blue Cocktails from Cane
50 Green Cocktails from Duck Eggs
30 Yellow Cocktails from Wheat Bread
10 Red Cocktails from Fig Tree

Reward: Empanada Stove House Recipe

Premium Items Needed:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

There are a number of premium Trees that are featured in Harvest tasks or as ingredients for Dishes in some of the tasks.  Among them are the Fig Tree, the Jackfruit Tree, the Wild Rose Bush, inter alia.

Strategies and Tips
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You have 11 days to complete the Quest but if you do not finish it, the Lighthouse option will allow you to work on it later for the final Reward.  What you cannot do after the Quest expires is complete the Collections Mission.  In this case, the Collections Mission Reward is a Stove House Recipe.  That will be added to the Stove House Recipe department in the Market once the Quest expires so you can use RC to purchase it.  In other words, though, if you do not wish to use RC for any of this, you always should complete the Collections Mission first.   When the Collections Mission Reward is a Tree, you often can find it in the Market even during the 11 days when the Quest is active to purchase using RC.

Planting in Advance
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You really do not need a list of all the Tasks in order to complete these Quests but one of the ways a guide is helpful is to give you advance warning about the next Crop to plant.  Here is a list of all the Crops you will need to plant:

40 Cucumbers
40 Rice
40 Blueberries
50 Oats
60 Zucchini (Island)

Another task for which advance preparation often saves time and money is Batch Production for a Machine or Animal Product.  Remember that you now can store Machines and Animals in the Warehouse without collecting their products first.  If you do not have much space on your farm or do not have sufficient slots to put many into Batch Production simultaneously, storage after completion but before you have reached the task may be useful.

Here are some of the tasks that can be completed with Batch Production:

40 Milk
40 Ketchup
40 Cheddar Cheese
40 Rice Flour
40 Sugar
20 Blueberry Jam
50 Mayonnaise
60 Wine
60 Dried Zucchini (Island)
60 Linen (Island)
50 Horse Hair
30 Zucchini Bread (Island)
8 Jackfruit Bread (Island)

Transport Tasks
xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Another task you can set up in advance is Transport of items to and from the Island.  This can be a little trickier, however, as you need to remember NOT to collect anything at all until you reach the Task that requires the transport.  Unlike Batch Production or the Beauty Shop or other options of that sort, I do not believe you can pick and choose which items to collect from the Zeppelins.   Any and all items that have arrived will be collected when you choose the option to collect.

There is only one Transport task in this Quest:

Transport 60 Honey to the Island

If you can remember not to collect them before the task is active, you can split them between your Zeppelins and complete the task instantly when you reach it.

Empanada Stove House Recipe
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is a simple dish that requires only 20 seconds to complete.  The ingredients are as follows:

1 Soft Dough
3 Cabbage
1 Steak Tartare
3 Ketchup

Place all ingredients in the Skillet and tap 'Finish' as soon as the bronze star is activated.

Special Final Reward: Fish Bowl Decoration for Seaside Farm

Collection Set
xxxxxxxxxxxx

The Collection Set for this Quest is the Fish Bowl Decoration and two Trees in the form of the Fig Tree and the Jackfruit Tree.

Gumball Collections Mission

N.B.  You will find the current timed Mission below this post.

Only new players probably will be interested in this post.  Most other players will be familiar with this style of Collection Mission.

What it involves is first, placing an item from the Market on your farm and then collecting from ANY or EVERY type of Crop, Animal, Tree or Machine to obtain the Collection item.  In this case, you purchase the Gumball Machine in the Market for 500 Coins and then collect Gumballs.  Once placed, you have five days before the Gumball Machine will expire and become an item with which there is no more interaction.

Only the Seaside Farm will yield Gumballs, however.  The Island is not involved in this Mission. You can use Batch Production and Farm Aids such as Rainbow Rain to speed your Collections.  I did not obtain any when I used Goldfinger Tech however... perhaps I am unlucky but I somehow feel you will not be able to collect this way.

The final Reward which is a Toy Submarine Decoration must be unlocked before you can use your Gumballs to trade for it.  You unlock it by obtaining at least one of each of the subsidiary Rewards.  In this case, these are:

Machine Head: 1 Gumball or 1 RC each
  This is one of the Materials needed to upgrade your Gumball Machine and the only Reward where the cost will not increase

Organic Fertiliser (x25): 1 Gumball (increasing each time you redeem one) or 1 RC each

Soda Cooler: 200 Gumballs or 10 RC . (The Soda Cooler Decoration is one of the Theme items in the current Beauty Contest)

Super Fertiliser (x6): 1 Gumball (increasing each time you redeem one) or 1 RC each

Once you have purchased or redeemed one of each of the above, you can begin to collect Gumballs for the final Reward.

Toy Submarine: 350 Gumballs

To participate in the Mission, you must tap on the Gumball Machine once you have placed it.  You then will see all the Rewards with their current prices as well as an option to 'Improve your Luck'. When you tap on that, you will be taken to the Upgrade Screen.  The Machine Head is one of the upgrade Materials and the Machine Bottom is the other until you reach the final Upgrade screen.

You can request Machine Bottoms from your neighbours using the old method rather than posting to the dreaded Chat!

It is only when the Gumball Machine is upgraded to Level 5 that you actually 'Improve your Luck' as then you will receive 2 Gumballs rather than 1 Gumball randomly from your harvests.

Eye on the Prizes
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

There are many different considerations here, and if you think you will have a difficult time obtaining over 500 Gumballs in 5 days or if you care more about the final Toy Submarine Decoration than anything else, my own strategy would be to BUY 1 Soda Cooler for 15 RC rather than amassing 200 Gumballs for it.  I actually have a Soda Cooler and am not keen on duplicating it, but that is probably what I will do here, as I lack constant access to my farm at the moment.

You need 25 Gumballs for the Materials to upgrade to Level 5 using the Machine Heads you can obtain with Gumballs.  You need an additional minimum of 203 to trade for one of each of the subsidiary Rewards in order to unlock the ability to trade for the Toy Submarine... then 350 Gumballs for the Toy Submarine.

Cost of Upgrades:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

To upgrade to Level 1:

15 Machine Bottoms
2 Machine Heads

To upgrade to Level 2:

15 Machine Bottoms
2 Machine Heads


To upgrade to Level 3:

25 Machine Bottoms
8 Machine Heads

To upgrade to Level 4:

25 Machine Bottoms
8 Machine Heads


To upgrade to Level 5:

30 Machine Bottoms
5 Machine Heads
1 Machine Handle (5 RC)

Note that the final Upgrade requires 1 Machine Handle, a Material that can only be purchased with RC.  You need the full Level 5 upgrade to receive 2 Gumballs instead of 1... so my opinion is to either perform the upgrades through Level 5 and be resigned to the cost in RC or not bother at all with them!

Modern Family Farm Quest and Pickle Jar Collection Mission

A new time-restricted Quest in tandem with a Collections Mission has been released.  You are welcome to share the link to this post to any of your Facebook Groups but please do not simply copy and paste my work without giving me credit.  I spend a lot of time, energy and money to complete these quests quickly for other farmers.  Please credit Freyashawk.  If you feel that my work is useful, votes for Harvest Moon FDC would be much appreciated as always.

Farm Beauty Contest:

The post about the current contest is published below this one, but here is a link as well:

Jungle Farm Beauty Contest

2nd Beach Base:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You can merge a Beach Base in the Factory once you have collected both Materials.  The first material has been available in the first two Chests on the Daily Quest path.  Today, on Friday, 16 June, it still is being found in those Chests.

Today for the first time, you can collect the second material in the highlighted Order on the Daily Order Board.  With 100 TC, you can refresh the Order Board, thereby obtaining a new highlighted Order.  With another 100 TC, you can refresh again.

Midsummer
xxxxxxxxxx

Midsummer will coincide with the time of the NEXT Quest.  It would be lovely if FunPlus could give us a Midsummer Quest with a Midsummer Maypole Decoration perhaps like the ones they erect in Sweden as the Reward for the next Quest.

Pickle Jar Collection Mission
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Reward is a Linden Tree.  If you prefer not to perform the Collection Mission, the Tree can be purchased in the Market for 8 RC.

Felicia:  Welcome back, dear farmer!  How are you?  We've made some changes.  Come with me, and I'll show you!

Harvest 40 Pasture
  Skip for 10 RC

Feed Limousin Cattle 40 times
  Skip for 10 RC

Harvest 40 Cucumbers
  Skip for 10 RC

Prepare 8 Stir-Fry Veggie
  Skip for 8 RC

Modern Family Farm 3

Felicia: Apart from doing farm chores and watching soap operas on the telly, Grandma signed up for online marketing classes!

Produce 20 Blueberry Jam
  Skip for 20 RC

Collect 40 Bottles of Buffalo Milk
  Skip for 10 RC

Prepare 8 Honey Syrup
  Skip for 8 RC

  Each requires 8 Honey and 4 Milk.  This is one of the most PUNISHING recipes for low level farmers and the developers are using it again and again, whether in Guest Orders, the Cooking Stand or these Missions.  I would suggest that players contact Support to protest... why not change the ingredients to half the amount, requiring only 4 Honey and 2 Milk?

Rewards: 2500 Coins, 170 XP

Felicia:  I really don't know how she finds time for everything!

Modern Family Farm 4
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Felicia:  So the renovation was just the first step.  Now we need to think about what makes our farm stand out from all others... and then use that for advertising!  Any ideas?

Produce 40 Wheat Flour
  Skip for 10 RC

Produce 40 Buffalo Milk Cheese

Modern Family Farm 6
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Felicia:  Despite the fact that we have become larger and larger, our farm is still family-owned and managed!  I think that's what makes us special!

Prepare 12 Lavender Cheese
  Skip for 12 RC

Beach Jungle Farm Beauty Contest

A new Farm Beauty Contest has started.  You really do need to maximise the Votes from the four Characters if you wish to achieve the Decoration at 4000 Votes or the Avatar at 6000 Votes.  Asking for Votes from other players is NOT the answer unless you are very close to 200 Votes per day from the 4 Characters or 300 Votes per day from the same 4 Characters.

It is the current photograph or Snapshot of your Farm that is the basis for ALL Votes, not the current state of your Farm if you changed anything.  In other words, take your time to organise your Farm BEFORE you take the initial 'Snapshot' for entry to the Contest.  This can make a big difference as every day counts in these contests.

The key to this is balance.  You need to have a variety of Crops on the Farm.  Try to have 16 different Crops growing... the total number needed may be lower from 12 to 13 but it is easy to grow different Crops and you have nothing to lose.

You need to have at least 12 different Machines on your Farm to obtain the maximum Votes for Machines from Dad.  Some players claim that the Salad Machine has counted as two Machines in the past but again, to be safe, move as many Machines onto your Farm as possible before you take your initial Snapshot.

Do the same with respect to your Trees.  You need a variety of Trees.  Duplicates never count.  Most players should not have any trouble in placing 16 different types of Trees on the farm.  I believe that the total needed is less, possibly 12 or 13 but again, it does no harm to be safe.

Finally, there are the Animals.  Butterfly Houses and Beehives of each type count as Animals and every type counts as a different Animal.

Landscape Points count for Votes with three of the Characters.  You do not even need 2300 Landscape Points to maximise these votes.  I believe the actual total is close to 2250 points but need to confirm for the current contest.

Expansions are another good source of votes.  You only need to have performed a few expansions to gain maximum votes from Felicia and Dad for expansions.

Another category is your Gallery.  Now that you can register Crops and other items, even low level players should be able to maximise votes for a good Gallery.  Votes are based on the number of items you have registered.  Your Gallery 'upgrades' at specific totals.

Finally there are votes for a 'high level' farm.  I have not achieved the maximum on Harvest Moon FDC yet because I believe you have to be at Level 150 now for this.

'Theme' gives votes from three of the four Characters.  Your best bet to maximise your Theme Votes if you have not played long or did not collect Reward Decorations for any other reason would be to purchase the Chameleon from the special sale offer in the top right of the screen.  It is expensive but if you are not at maximum for Theme, it can give you 9 extra Votes for theme each day from the Characters.

Beach Base
xxxxxxxxxx

The Beach Base is one of the few old Decorations that will give you 2 Votes from each of three of the Characters.

If you have not performed the Mission in the past, you can find the Summer Camp Mission in the Lighthouse that gives the Beach Base as its final reward.  A second Beach Base now will be available in the Factory.  Find Materials for it by collecting the first two Chests from the Daily Quest path.


Theme List

I will replace the screenshots later with better ones, but here is the Book of Theme Decorations.  I will name each and give any current options for purchasing them.

New Areas of Mootopia and new Pets

Last updated on 27 September with 3 Star Lagoon descriptions.   On 25 August July added materials needed to unlock the 11th slot in the Pet House as well as changes developers made with respect to unlocking the Wilderness Map and Forest area.

Originally, the names were given incorrectly in the game itself, but the correct name for the second Map is Wilderness and the first two quarters are Forest and Lagoon.

It appears that requirements for unlocking new Areas of Mootopia have changed.  For a start, the old requirement to have two Turtles in order to progress has been waived in the sense that the game will pretend you have met the requirement even if you have only one Turtle.  The only requirement now furthermore to progress to the 'new map' of the Wilderness is based on 2 Star Metropolis.

This post is connected to the new update that offers new types of Pets when you invite Guests from the four new Areas of Mootopia... will update post as quickly as possible.  As always,  I have included actual Order Lists from the Guests from various areas.  The current timed Mission will be found in the post below this one.  Update gifts from Felicia are: 5 Pet Food, 10 Lab Cards, 10 Cat Cards, 10 Turtle Cards, 3 Bear Cards.

You will find the initial stats for the Hedgehog at the bottom of this post.

Here is the link to my comprehensive post about the original Mootopia Map and all Guests with the Orders and Rewards and so on:

All About Pets and Guests

The materials needed to unlock the new 11th slot in the Pet House are given in that post, but I will copy them here as well:

There now is an 11th Slot and to unlock this, you will need the following:

600 Pink Paint
800000 Coins
80 Emerald Glass
20 Bedding Rolls

Unlocking Wilderness:  There are specific requirements now that are related primarily to 2 Star Mootopia but unfortunately, as I unlocked the new Map prior to the change, I do not have the precise new requirements.  It is a bit MORE than simply having unlocked and invited a guest group from 2 Star Mootopia.

Pet Breeding
xxxxxxxxxxx

This is an advanced option really only for Farmers who have too many high level pets now and wish to clear space.

Breed your Pet with Pets of other farmers in Breeding Room.  Your Pet must be Level 20 to be eligible for breeding.  After breeding, your Pet will disappear.  You receive either a Skill Book or a new Baby Pet.

N.B.  Until 15 June, receive 1 Bedding Roll and 30 TC when you use Breeding Feature in Pet House.

In other words, instead of simply letting a Pet go, you can breed it now for a new Pet.

Note that you do not need a Male and Female Pet of the same type in order to obtain a Baby Pet.  You need 1 Pet to breed with a Neighbour's Pet.

Supposedly there is a new slot in the Pet House so theoretically you can own a total of 11 Pets now.

YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE BREEDING OPTION IF YOU ONLY HAVE A TOTAL OF FOUR PETS, IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR LEVELS.

You may need at least one 'extra' Pet beyond the original four.

Pet Breeding
xxxxxxxxxxx

Here is a detailed description of the Pet Breeding option:

As players unlock new slots and new pets, they may find they are going to be in a position where they have more Pets than the game will allow.  Originally, one simply had to 'trade out' or free a Pet in order to obtain a different one.  This was rather a sad business, so the Pet Breeding option was added to the game.

You need to have a Pet at Level 20 or higher to make it eligible for breeding.  You will not be able to place a Pet in the Breeding Nest unless it is inactive.  What this means essentially is that it cannot be in one of the four 'active' Pet slots.  The inactive Pet line-up is shown in the SECOND tab of the Pet House, while the 'active' Pets are shown in the first tab.  It has nothing whatsoever to do with the status of an active Pet... whether out opening a Chest or taking an Order or sleeping in the Pet House.  If the Pet is in one of the four 'active' Slots, you cannot breed it until you switch it out to inactive status where you will see it only in the second slot.

If you wish to breed a Pet, you need a Neighbour to accept your invitation after you place your Pet in the Breeding Nest.  Note that you will lose your Pet essentially once you have bred it.  You will receive a reward in the form of a baby Pet or a special Skill Book.  The only reason to breed a Pet is if you have too many Pets and wish to clear one out... for example, if you have only Male Dogs or Male Cats, you may wish to try to obtain a Female through Breeding.  It is an advanced option that allows you to obtain a Reward for letting a Pet go.

Pet Registration
xxxxxxxxxxxxx

You now can register your Pets in the Gallery and a Male Pet is registered separately from a Female Pet of the same species or type, so this is another way to try to persuade us to trade out or breed our Pets in an attempt to obtain one of a different gender.

New Mootopia Map
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Unlocking Wilderness Map
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The requirement for doing so did not appear for me initially as I had met it without knowing it existed.  I do know now, however, that you need to have unlocked 2 Star Metropolis to be able to progress to the Wilderness Map.

The actual requirements now are:

24 Telescopes
1000 Landscape Points
35000 Coins Earned (earned from Metropolis 2 Star)
Have 4 Level 12 Pets

Scroll to the right of the Map to find 4 new areas on a Map called Wilderness.  You will need to earn 22875 Coins from 1 Star Forest Guests to unlock 2 Star Forest Guests.  It may or may not take 6 Visits to achieve total.... it depends on how quickly you can take the Orders.  You will need 65000 Coins from either level of Forest to unlock 1 Star Lagoon.  If you wish to invite Lagoon Guests, you will need access to the Island as one of the requirements is 200 Dev Points.  Dev Points are linked to the Island.

When you unlock 2 Star Forest, you will find that, although the number of Orders for each Guest remains only 3, the Bargaining Cost is far higher at 325 Stamina for each Guest Order.   Furthermore, there are 5 Guests instead of only 3.   They may ask for advanced Stove House Dishes such as Cubic Apple Tart or Island items.  Be prepared!

New areas of Mootopia give new Pet Cards.  The Guests from Forest give Hedgehog Cards.
Lagoon Guests include Water Guests and give Hippo Cards.

Hedgehog:  Can be redeemed with 300 Hedgehog Cards
Hippo: Can be redeemed with 300 Hippo Cards

Stove House Dishes and Wilderness Guest Orders
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Forest Guests certainly are fond of Stove House Dishes but I thought it might be useful to add a little warning about this.  Some Dishes only have one version which means a star of one colour after the dish and only one icon.  Others, like the Exotic Cherry Cake or Stuffed Scary Tomato have two different versions which means two different pictures and two different star colours beside them.  If you have to purchase the Dish from the E-Mart, make certain you do not waste TC on the wrong version!

4 New Areas of Mootopia
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Forest:

1 Star Forest Group
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

N.B.  Originally, you could obtain additional Passports for the 1 Star Forest Guests.  Need 36 TC for new Passport.  You will need to earn 22875 Coins from 1 Star Forest Guests to unlock 2 Star Forest Guests.  Now you can invite only one group from any Star level per day in any Mootopia area.

You will receive 1-3 Hedgehog Cards from this group of Guests.

Tips on Upgrading Pet House and Pets
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Due to the addition of the Flea Market to the game, players can buy materials needed for Pet House upgrades from other Farmers, especially when these are Stove House Dishes such as the Blue Star French Fries or the Gold Star Baked Banana Splits if they have not unlocked these themselves or do not have the desire or patience to make them in their own Stove Houses.

There are other materials, however, that cannot be purchased.  These primarily consist of the Telescopes randomly found in Chests opened by Pets on the Paths and the Pink Paint randomly given by Guests when their Orders are filled.

The other type of Upgrade is the Upgrade in Level for your Pets.  There are a number of way to earn Experience Points to increase your Pets' Levels.

The way by which the most Experience is earned is through bargaining with Guests.  Remember always, however, that the Pet will not be able to interact AT ALL with a Guest if the Guest has too high of a Bargaining Cost for that specific Pet.   You can find the Bargaining Cost for each Guest in the Guest Lists in this Post and my original 'All About Pets' Post.

The Bargaining Cost for any Forest Guest is as follows:  if 'Easy', it is 125 Bargaining Cost.  'Medium' is 325 Bargaining Cost and 'Difficult' is 700 Bargaining Cost.

If you look at the initial Stamina of the Hedgehog that can be obtained from Hedgehog Pet Cards earned from these Forest Guests, you will see that it is 200.  What this means essentially is that you cannot use a Level 1 Hedgehog to meet any of the 2 Star or 3 Star Forest Guests.  You need to increase his/her Stamina to 325 at least if you wish to use a Hedgehog in an active Pet group to meet with 2 Star Forest Guests.

Another way to earn Experience is by setting the Pet to open Chests on the paths.  Smaller amounts of Experience are earned but it is a good activity for low level Pets.

Finally, you can obtain Pet Cookies/Biscuits from performing tasks in the Coffee House and when your Pet Searches for any Coffee House item demanded, he/she will earn 30 Experience whether or not the item is found.

How do you determine which Pets to use and which area of Mootopia and which Guest Group to choose?  Well, it all depends on your current goal.  I never distinguished between different goals initially.  I simply struggled to move forward and always invited the most difficult group in the most recent area I had unlocked.

It was recently that I realised there was a difference between the goal of collecting specific Pet Cards and the goal of collecting Pink Paint.  If I had a Hedgehog, did I really need to continue to invite 2 Star Forest Guests to earn the Pink Paint I needed to unlock a new slot in my Pet House?  If the 2 Star Metropolis were easier to satisfy, why not invite them instead, at least until I obtained the 600 Pink Paint I needed?

I therefore offer this little tip to other farmers.  Look at your primary goal.  If you wish to earn specific Pet Cards, then you look for the Guest Groups that give those Cards as Rewards, but if you wish to earn Pink Paint, find the easiest Guest Groups to give it to you!
