Darryl’s Adventure, 500 to 550

The following new steps for Darryl’s Adventure were shared by our wonderful administrator, Kaye.

Carnival Quest and Mask Collection Mission

 

The usual 11 day timed quest has been released in tandem with a Collection Mission.  The reward for the Collection Mission is yet another ‘Collectable’.

Masque Collection Mission

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

70 from Corn

50 from Oat Flour

30 from Beef Salami

10 from Pawpaw Tree

Reward: Vegetable Grater Collectable

Special Tasks:

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

This traditional quest task sequence requires all of the special tasks.  You need to fish with the Dolphin Hook, have your Pets dig Chests, and tend flowers 15 times in the Botanical Garden.  You need the new premium Island Animal, the Rhino, that costs 15 RC, and can be found in the Island Market to complete one of the tasks.

Farm Beauty Contest Rewards

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcccccccc

I have requested votes for HM. Freyashawk in the Farm Beauty Contest from players who find this site useful.  I always told myself I would stop updating the site if I failed to reach the top 10:in the contest because it would signify a general decline of interest in this site.  I have not been in the top 10:for a few months now.  To be honest, I understand that many players lost access to their farms due to a lack of coordination between FunPlus and Amazon.  Furthermore, the game requires so much data that a Kindle usually now requires a memory card if a player wishes to continue to use a Fire tablet for Seaside.  The requirement to link a farm to Facebook is yet another source of anxiety for many, as Facebook, like Google, failed to protect user details.  There no longer is a simple platform for ordinary farmers who want to feel safe when they work on a virtual farm.

I created this site and have updated it for eight years.  Although I have Facebook Groups for Seaside, I never made those a requirement for accessing game update information or tips.  This site has not made a penny for me because I refuse to allow Google to load advertisements onto it.  It is free access to any one anywhere.  That is what I want to see on any site, so that is what I provide.  To me, it is horrible to find a decent academic article riddled and bisected with wart removal adverts or other random advertising that has nothing to do with the subject of the article.  It is almost obscene.

There are two points I wish to make here: first, you yourself receive rewards daily simply for voting in the Farm Beauty Contest.  Players sometimes do not participate because they will not reach a total of 6000 votes.  That is foolish.  The most importsnt reward in the form of a new decoration for the new base is given with a total of 4000 votes.  If you are unwilling to spend RC to complete the base esrly, simply make certain you place it on your farm and take a new screenshot for the Contest afterwards, as the new base on your farm will add a maximum of 9 votes daily for theme if you have not reached maximum otherwise.

Above is a screenshot of the rewards in the chest today for simply having voted in the Farm Beauty Contest.  Whether you vote for HM. Freyashawk or not, you should register and vote to receive the daily rewards.  In particular, Power and OP always are useful.

Neighbour Visits

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I was playing this game almost from the time it was released.  I played the original Family Farm for PC until the game became too unwieldy and demanding fo me to take any joy in it.  Seaside was a lovely, undemanding alternative... until it became more and more demanding as well.  Global Chat in game for the most part has become a nightmare, and it is the fault of the developers who have created situations where players feel they need neighbour visits and rare items to feed their dragons.  

Neighbour visits do not need to be reciprocal.  When you visit a neighbour, whether in person or by using a ticket, you receive rewards.  If the neighbour actually spends money on premium cleanable decorations, you will receive the best rewards when you visit and choose to clean either Island premium decorations or Seaside Blue Box decorations.  

If you are not receiving reciprocal visits, do not assume that your neighbour has no interest in your farm.  Kindle users are having a particularly difficult time at the moment.  Many players on all platforms are kicked out of their farms repeatedly.  No one needs the stress.  When I see messages of apology from farmers who beg to be forgiven because they had to attend the funeral of a loved one instead of visiting 300 neighbours, I wonder how this game is reshaping our hearts and souls.  Please do not force your expectations on others.  It is choking all the fun and enjoyment from the game.

Rare Dragon Orders

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I fdo not wish to be harsh, but the entire Dragon activity is unduely stressful for all players.  Many of the rare items requested cannot be sold freely in the Stall.  There is a limit imposed upon them.  There is no time limit to grow the dragon.  If your dragon wants an item you cannot produce because it is the product of an Animal or machine that was a reward for a special activity, like the Swim Rings, perhaps just fill the orders you can, and wait for reset to refresh them.  I happily would fill my stall with the various swim rings if I could, but the game is at fault here for not allowing that.

Strategies for Quest:

Set the Monkey Boost to reduce OP cost for Batch Production.  You have 11 days to complete  the Quest, but if you wish to complete immediately, do not cast a Net, set the switch for pet digging to ‘Off’ and do not tend the Botanical Garden.

Warning: I am not really at a point in my life when I can perform these updates effortlessly any longer.  I domask my administrators to look at the published post for errors, and I am grateful for their willingness to do so, but no one really is super-thrilled any longer with the increased duties imposed by this game, and even when we do still embrace the game with some enthusiasm, Life has become complex and the thorns in the path must be cut back on a daily basis for many of us.

Rely first on the actual tasks to make certain I have included everything in the lists that I provide as a helpful aid.

Chinese New Year Party Quest and Mini Bamboo Steamer Collection Mission

A new 11 day traditional Quest has been released in tandem with a Collection Mission.  I always advise low level players to try to complete the Collection Mission even if they are unable to complete the Quest, but of late, the Animals or Machines required for the Collection Missions have been premium ones.  This one requires the Pancake Maker.  I would like to thank Kaye and Anne, two of my wonderful administrators in our Facebook Group,Family Farm Seaside Freyashawk for their help this morning sharing screenshots especially.  My computer was hacked by an old friend sadly, so until that issue is resolved, I am forced to work from mobile platforms.

As far as our group is concerned, we are changing the questions to make it easier to verify farmers who request admittance.  I apologise if your request was not accepted initially.  We really simply try to protect our members and their information from hackers, and therefore need to make certain that requests come from legitimate players.  It is a sad world now in many ways, but I certainly intend always to fight back.

If you still find this site helpful, your votes for HM. Freyashawk in the Farm Beauty Contest are greatly appreciated.  It is not the Rewards I seek by reaching the top 10, but visibility as Freyashawk, a name assiciated for a long time with strategy guides, although I no longer work on guides for any games apart from this one.  Updating this site is a time consuming job, however, and I am doing this singlehanded.  I created the site so that any one in the world, whether on Facebook or not, could access it.  I never allow Google to place any adverts on my sites, so I never make any money from this, and that is fine.  My motivation is to help players enjoy this game more.  Unfortunately, the game has become far too large and complex for many players, and older devices no longer can be used to play it.  The memory required is so significant that often players have to delete their other applications in order to continue to play.  I think this is counterproductive.  We do not need mini games and endless activities.  Furthermore, many of these are unlocked only at high levels.  I once played the original Family Farm, but stopped as the game became far too complex and unwieldy, no longer a pleasure, however beautiful visually.  I hope FunPlus will reconsider its current strategy of expanding this mobile version.  Give us new beautiful  Crops instead of these sressful activities and min games.  Make the fabulous ‘temporary’ Crops like the Koinobori Plant, (Carp Banner), now unavailable, as well as the Christmas Bow, the Akita Rice, the Snowman Crop, available in the Market, and permanent.

Finally, although there is nothing wrong with asking players to support a ‘free’ game by purchasing a few premium items, but the premium items have become totally excessive.  The Farm Beauty Contest premium decorations for new bases, new Friendship Flowers... all of these need a reduction in price or a less demanding schedule in terms of sales.

Farm Beauty Contest Strategy

Most players, if they have less than maximum votes from the four characters, lack votes either from Grandma for having four fully equipped Pets on their farm, or for Theme.  There always are deorations that count more towards Theme totals than others.  The new base, if obtained from Penny at the Magic Cauldron, placed on your farm, and then captured in a new Screenshot for the Contest, will add 9 votes each day to your total number of votes.  That is more than you would receive by  exchanging votes with another player.  I see players begging for vote exchanges in chat, but you can add more votes by doing this.

Another strategy, if you actually are invested in this game, is to create a second farm, and send the votes from that farm to your first farm.  Many veteran players have multiple farms.  I only ever ask for votes for HM. Freyashawk for rank.  As far as reaching 6000 votes is concerned giving all contest rewards, other farms that belong to my family can do that without ever obtaining a single vote from a neighbour. 

In all honesty, the reward that really matters for any farm is the Decoration gained with a total of 4000 votes.  That decoration will become a theme item in future Farm Beauty Contests.

Strategy Tips: 

xxxxxxxxxxxx

Set your Monkey Boost to reduce OP.  In the traditional quest, the only special tasks are tending flowers in the Botanical Garden, and you only need to perform the action 12 times, so you really do not need Friendship Flowers from neighbours for this quest if your Botanical Garden is at maximum level.  There is no fishing, and pets do not need to dig Chests.

Penny’s Magic Cauldron Riddle Solutions February 2021

 The site took them in the opposite order of my selection, but all solutions are displayed.  The reward is the Noble Courtyard Base.

Flower Packing Machine Upgrader

 There is a new update to the game that forces many farmers with older versions of Android out of their farms unless they are willing to imvest more money in a new device.  As it is, many farmers have stripped their devices bare to allow all of their devices’ memory capacity to be dedicated to Seaside.  I find this troubling to be honest.  My low level neighbours cannot finish quests that require new premium Animals and Machines, and cannot participate in many of the new options.

Kindle Update

xxxxxxxxxxxx

Some Kindles will update automatically, so you never will encounter this bed of thorns.  I basically play on two different platforms.  When I attempted to use my Kindle, I received the Funplus screen to ‘Update’.  This did not take me to Amazon, but to Google, which makes no sense.  I therefore closed the browser.  When I went directly to Amazon, the only option was to ‘Open’.  

What you must do is go to your settings, and then to ‘Manage Applications’.  Here you will see that the game requires new permissions.  Tap on that option to update the game, and it should install the update.  It is utterly absurd to expect ordinary people who play a farming simulation game to be this savvy.  Thus my strategy tip here.  Mind you, as I write this, the game is hanging at 99% still...  it got there in the end.

I am very grateful to every farmer who sent votes to HM. Freyashawk in the Farm Beauty Contest, and I know the efforts that were made, but I did not place in the top 10.  I want to thank you, however, for trying to make that possible.

The posts for the current timed Quest and the Darryl’s Adventure Tasks through 500 are below this one.  I thought it might be useful to give players the requirements and gadgets for the new Upgrader.

Strategy Tip:

xxxxxxxxxxx

You can pay 1 RC for each of the Bouquet Wrapping Paper and the Bouquet Clips that you need to upgrade the Upgrader, or you can request Bouquet Clips from your Buddies and purchase 1 Bouquet Wrapping Paper per day for 5 Blue Mystrons.  If you look at the requitements for each new upgrade, and the total of materials required, it will take a long time to achieve these if you opt not to use RC.  The maximum number of Buddies any farmer can have is 15.  You will need a total of 45 Bouquet Clips.  That may take only 3 days to collect if tou have 15 active Buddies.  It is the Bouquet Wrapping Paper that will take months to collect, as you are limited to the purchase of 1 per day in the Mystron Shop.  I believe you will need a total of 83 to reach Level 5.  

Note that updates are rolled out gradually on the Kindle.  If you have Buddies who play on the Kindle, they may or may not have the new update.  You still can send requests for the material, but it will not be a ailable in their market to request or send unilaterally to you.  My buddy told me the request I made was blank, but had a ‘Send’ option, and I did receive the material.

Dragon Raising Tip

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Players are desperately requesting rare items in global chat to fill the Magic Spring.  Please relax.  The Dragon does not require 100%.  It is a gradual process to hatch and grow any dragon and sadly, that pet will fly away from you in the end, however devotedly you tend him or her.  You then will have to start the entire process again.  

When your Dragon reaches full maturity, you will have only 30 more days with it.  After 15 days, a timer will appear to count down the days that remain.  I filled the Magic Spring faithfully to 100% daily.  I doubt it really matters.  As a matter of fact, I wish I could keep my Dragon longer.

What you can do every day for no cost is perform the little interactions that appear in the bar below your dragon.  When all those are exhausted, you can tap on your dragon’s head three times for three extra interactions.

It is all very random. I wrote about it in detail in another post.

Flower Packing Machine Upgrader

The Flower Packing Machine Upgrader can be purchased in the Market for 4000 Coins.

Snow Flight Quest and Snowball Maker Mission

A new 11 day traditional Quest has been released in tandem with a Collection Mission.  You will need the Highland Cattle to complete this Collection Mission, and as the Tree is not a premium tree, the drop rate will be low.  For me, it takes about 30 harvests to collect the required item with a non premium tree.  The Highland Cattle is a premium Animal, sold for 15 RC in the Market.

Thanks to one of our wonderful administrators in our Family Farm Seaside Freyashawk Group, Anne, for her help.

You will find some Aquarium tips at the end of this post.

As for the Farm Beauty Contest, it is much appreciated if you send votes to HM. Freyashawk.  I have kept inactive neighbours, hoping for their return, but at this point, am going to delete a few who have not played for two years or more.  There is no hope that my farm will rank in the top 10 unless neighbours of Rosewood Sanctum or Asgard vote instead for HM. Freyashawk.  So if you vote for either of those farms because you are not a neighbour of Freyashawk, please send them a message to become a neighbour of Freyashawk.  Obviously, if you vote for some one either than those two, I would not ask you to send votes to Freyashawk instead, but those two farms belong to my family, and they are fine without extra votes.

Special tasks:

Fish 8 times with Treble Hook so do not cast a net

Dig Pet Chests so turn automatic digging off

Tend flowers in Botanical Garden 15 times

Stuffed Potatoes Stove House Recipe:

  Ingredients: 2 Potatoes, 2 Cheddar Cheese, 2 Eggs, 1 Steak Tartare

Aquarium Tips

xxxxxxxxxxxccc

The Aquarium is a mini-game that must be accessed by unlocking the 6th plot in the Resort.  I have wriiten about this in an earlier post, but will add a few tips here.

Essentially, the number of fish you can purchase is linked to the upgades of your Aquarium, but it is bizarre that you can purchase more than the declared total.

The maximum number of fish that you can have in your Aquarium when fully expanded should be 30.  If you have 30 fish, you will not be able to purchase more.

If, however, you decrease the number in the tank to 29, you can use the Lottery option to purchase 10 more for a total of 39.  This is the option to:

Get 10 Fish for 900 Coins.

The fish in the Lottery are random, and can include Rare fish.  It is only through purchase using the Lottery option or breeding existing rare fish that you can acquire more rare fish.

Ordinary fish breed only more ordinary fish, and macimum level fir these is 3.  Rare fish should be bred only to other rare fish, and maximum level is 5.

You can borrow one rare fish from a buddy each day for missions.

You can release fish you do not want by pressing on the icon of the fish in the Fish menu, or you can breed two fish who are mature to decrease the total and possibly improve the level of the fish you have.  For example, two Level 2 Fish can be bred to obtain randomly another Level 2 Fish or a Level 3 Fish.

You can earn Aquarium Coins to buy fish or use in the Exchange by participating in the Fish Missions.  These are generated randomly like the Daily Orders, and you can refresh a mission three times each day without cost if you cannot perform a specific Mission.

Will add more details later.  My cousin told me some one was asking about this today...

New Year’s Dinner Quest and Confetti Cannon Collection Mission

 

A new 11 day Quest has been released in tandem with a Collection Mission.   The reward for the Collection Mission is a Collectable.  Once the Mission expires, you will find the Collectable in the Market but will be forced to pay RC to buy it.  I therefore always advise players to try to complete the Collection Mission even if they cannot complete the Quest.  The game has become more demanding, however, and recently requires one of the newer premium machines for the Collection Mission.  In this case, it is the Donut Maker.  If you wish to move forward in the game, you will need all of the premium Animals and Machines.  That is the new reality.  Once the Quest expires, it should become available from the Lighthouse as soon as a new timed Quest is released.  In other words, you now can access the last Quest, Christmas Dream, from the Lighthouse.  The Quest are divided into four parts, however, and you will be given credit only for the full quarters you completed prior to expiration.  (A friend had completed all tasks apart from the last task of cooking the Stove House dishes.  The Quest expired two minutes prior to her collection of the dishes. She was not given credit for that task, and therefore did not complete the Quest.  If she accesses it now from the Lighthouse, she will have to repeat tasks 13 through 16 if she wishes to complete the Quest now for the Decoration.)

Message from Freyashawk: Votes for HM. Freyashawk are much appreciated if you use this site.  I know I am not doing as much as I once did, but the site is the result of eight years of work, and much of it still is helpful.  I do try to update with all timed quests still.  Being in the top 10 makes a big difference to morale, and I am truly appreciative of every vote sent to my farm in the Beauty Contests.

Farm Beauty Contest Strategies:

You need to maximise the votes of the four characters on your farm instead of relying on neighbour votes, especially now.  The game has become more demanding.  A variety of Crops, Animals, Machines, Trees on your farm, four Pets fully oufitted with two pieces of apparel and one piece of equipment, landscape points, farm level, and theme items will give you maximum votes from the four characters each day.  Most players have difficulty with theme points.  Go to the Trophy icon, and tap on the Red Book to see all Theme items.  Tap on each item, then hit the magnifying glass to see if you own it and where it is situated.  Only items that are on your farm and not in storage will be counted, and duplicates do not count.  The new base if completed counts for 9 votes daily, so if you are low on theme, pay RC to complete it now.  These ‘free’ games all exact a price if you are invested in receiving all possible rewards.  That alone will give you more votes than the maximum of 6 you can receive from any neighbour.  Unfortunately, all the theme items that give you multiple votes are premium items.

They are including the final reward decoration from the last quest as a theme item, so if you have that, it will give you 3 character votes per day.  Other theme decorations can be found on the aLucky Wherl now.  They include the Hannukah Gelt Tree, final reward for another recent timed Quest.  You can purchase that for 12 RC in the Wheel or Share Box.  The Piggy Cabinet was a Calendar Reward and is another theme item found now in the Lucky Wheel or Share Box for 10 RC.

Note that they have added more tasks now for Darryl’s Adventure.  I will add them to the post dedicated to this activity when time and resources permit.  Here is a link:
