At level 21 you need 4 collections to get the fuschia owl.

The gnome at work says it will give you a collection item - will it only give you collection items that have been unlocked or can you get any of them? (Wondering if I'm better off waiting to buy one for the goal until later on).

Those are special bait that you have to purchase for 19 gems. The bait will increase your chances of getting green apples.
But any hook will catch green apples.
I caught one on a dough ball Bait.

To purchase the special bait hit the green little wheel when you go to select a bait and you will then see the special hook.
Click on that if you wish to purchase it.

They cannot be made.

Stuck on fourth goal. Cannot get any letters from flour. Have been stuck for two days and have made countless bags of flour.

jesslc41
08-31-18, 03:07 AM
Not sure it will help but the letters drop from sugar and other windmill crafts as well (if you're sick of flour). Wish I could send you some of mine. I have way more letters than I need because I have to keep running the windmill constantly to make stuff in my bakery in the hope of getting green apples (I'm a lower level player).

Are the green apples very rare for anyone else or am I just unlucky? This is my third day on the apples now. I got one today, zero yesterday and one the day before... Sigh, I really want to move on.

Edit: The magic of the forum works again! The first time I collected from my bakery after posting this I got another green apple.

Go to your collections gallery and touch goal nine square with your finger and it will tell you where the notebook comes from on your farm.

I’ve made items non-stop in the both studios from scarves to flowers hats buttons and belts and have received ZERO papers. I have put max effort into this event as well. Frustrating that I’ve spent time collecting all the other items in abundance so I’ll have better odds at winning but if you only get 3-5 papers after it’s all said and done and you don’t win then once again it’s all a waste of time.

SOP evidently. ..
Likewise built up a healthy inventory of all the "collection" items... actually thought to myself "wow... FS2 FINALLY held an event that, while a little challenging, was going to be completable. .."

UNTIL I got to the last item from the studio (s)...

26 scarfs, 6 buttons, 3 rolls yarn, 5 hats, 4 flowers....
ONE collectable...

I have no idea why I even get caught up in thsee "events" anymore....

Come on Storm8, please increase the drop rate on the studio. You have dedicated players here that have put in a ton of effort only to get to the very last item and get very few drops. Mine are better than some but making stuff non-stop and still only a very few to show for it. The game is fun until you hit a roadblock like this and then the game just becomes irritating. I am thankful to at least have something else to focus on with the leaderboard event going at the same time, so I do thank you for that. But we need to see we get rewarded for our dedication to this event.

There's no bug that I know of for these. It's probably due to the drop rates. I'm getting low drops from the Studio.

2 days running studio nonstop.
Only 1 drop.

Do the school house building convert items ?

The Schoolhouse crafts event collection items.

Lower level papers come from the deep fryer (instead of the studio).

I wish S8 would increase the drop rate of the notebooks from the sugar spinner. I have been on this goal for more than 4 days now and I have only managed to get 2 notebooks. Guess I shall have to resign myself to not getting a fuschia owl... :(

Ok. This post may get deleted, but frankly I think it’s time we are given an explanation.

There has been countless posts about drop rates from the Studio. Why? There has to be a reason. I do not believe that it is a random algorithm that is built into the game, because statistically speaking, if drop rates were designed to be totally random, you would not see such statistics as we are seeing now. For example, there would not be a 1 in 2 drop rate from Almond Trees and then a 1 in 20 drop rate (if that, just guessing) for the Studio.

Could it be that the makers of this game know who spends actual money and fixes their games to get better drop rates? I don’t know. Could it be that they want you to spend money to get the final prize so they throttle drop rates? I don’t know. What I do know is that there has never been an explanation other than bugs in the system. That’s it. Bugs. I don’t buy it for a minute.

There’s dedicated players who do this for fun, and they actually believe they can achieve the end goal. That’s how these events are set up. Then, nearing the end, you hit a wall. It’s almost as if they do this so you spend the money to get the final prize.

I’m pretty disappointed. I haven’t played FS2 regularly because I just didn’t care anymore. Then I saw the owl prize. Of course, my favourite creature! So I gave this a whirl. I hit a wall on the studio. Figures. I really should have known better.

Go to your collections gallery and touch Day ten to make sure your item comes from the Deep Fryer.

Then if it does keep making French fries beings it is the shortest time.

Your other option is buy the schoolhouse and then you can make a paper by using two of day nines item.

You get ten gems reward for buying it and it costs I think 88 gems ...if you don't have it will cost you about five dollars to purchase the gems needed.

That is my suggestion to everyone having problems. BUY THE SCHOOLHOUSE

The paper is a very random item.

I have completed the level 9 of 11 tasks 3 times now and have completed level 10 twice. Every time I log back into the game it puts me at level nine with two of three notebooks. I should have finished all 11 tasks by now but it keeps glitching and sending me back to level nine!!!

I have been pretty lucky and working hard to make items in the studio, have used boosts since it started and have the school house. I've made about 48 collections..yes that's a lot and am thankful but.....Not.One.Owl....come on Stormie lol I'm beggin lol. No seriously! :eek:

I have made over 60 items in the studio and am stuck on Level 11.

I collect from the Almond Trees and always get at least one highlighted.

I collect from everything else and am rocking a decent drop rate.

Also hearing about all these glitches players are having.

What is going to be done about this? It’s not a players fault. It’s a glitch in the event.

Any suggestions from those who know?

My suggestion.... anyone who is done should plant, harvest, and sell all the wool, cotton, and wood they can. Selling these items helps all your neighbors who need to keep their studios cranking.

I’ve seen a couple people mention their belief that the low drop rate is to coerce you into purchasing some type of boost with actual $$$$. While I do believe this, I have always known that someone is out there working to maintain and run this game. At one point, I had to maintain our farm website (yes, a real farm) . It was a JOB. Even though it was our family farm, and I did not get paid specifically to do it, it was time, effort, frustration, and commitment. There were times I wanted to be in the floor with my kids, but I had to sit and fight the website program to update herdlists, respond to inquiries, add calendar events, etc. “Stormie” does that for us and our game. If no one ever makes a purchase, then “Stormie” never gets paid. If You were “Stormie” and never got paid, would you keep working so hard to create new quests, design new graphic pets, and respond to some of the nasty attitudes from unsatisfied players ??. ..?

So, from someone who rarely makes purchases (only once so far), I want to say thank you Stormie for all the time and effort to create and manage our quests. And, without intending to sound harsh, I do believe a better chance of completing the quests may improve the attitude, and therefore the recommendations, of the players. Perhaps a better communication system would allow players to help one another more.?? But, that is a subject for another thread.

Ok, I am sure you have grown weary of my rambling, I’ll sign off now.

Fair point.

That being said, the developers who are putting in countless hours to give us a quest should recognize the glitches and problems, fix them, and extend the event to give everyone a fair shot. Isn?t that what a good business is all about? Hearing feedback, recognizing problems from customers and working to fix them to maintain support?

People spend time (and sometimes money) on these events. They all deserve a fair shot. If a glitch is recognized, it needs to be addressed.

I?ve been playing this game for years and have noticed a drastic decline in the ability to fairly complete quests and events.

Since you have mentioned the glitch in several posts, are you experiencing any glitch yourself? I didn't see you posting a bug so I dont want to miss you out. Post in the Bugs forum and I'll help you further there. :)

You all know me as a Forum Moderator of Farm Story 2, not all of you know I am fellow player as well. I'm writting this as a fellow player.

This event worked fine for me from Day 1 till now and I didn't encounter any of the glitch which the 5 players said they did.

Usually game glitch affects majority of players, not just a handful. This could be due to a sync issue which was why I posted suggestions for the players to try out and I am still waiting for the players to give an update for further investigation. Not everything boils down to game glitch, other factors like our internet connections, devices etc play a part. And that's why I wrote a self help for players, What can I do to try to resolve my game issues? (https://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?88356-Farm-Story-2-Main-Guide&p=1280824&viewfull=1#post1280824) I upkeep my connections and device regularly to avoid hiccups on my end and I recommend all players do that on a regular basis.

Great that you weren't. :)

Frankly my drop rate from Studio is very low but I am extremely happy that the team is giving us a guaranteed pet for 5 turn ins for the first time in Farm Story 2 history. At least we stand a much better chance to get a pet even when we didn't win the one from the collection gallery.

Congrats to all winners. :) Good luck to all still trying. :love_heart:

I can personally debunk the ?drop rate is better for those who spend money? theory . I won?t disclose how much I have spent but it was over $25 (I?m embarrassed at that BTW) and my drop rates are abysmal in the Studio. I should have just bought the schoolhouse or whatever it is that makes additional items, those who did seem to have a far more successful experience.

I myself don't find this to be true. I've turned in 10 collections, since step 11 came out, without spending a dime. Yes, I'm one of the "lucky ones" apparently, though the drop rate is still awful. Seems to be about 1 in 10, on average. Sometimes more, sometimes slightly less. I am a gem hoarder, and refuse to spend 88 gems on somethin that only gives 10 back. I thank the people who have been selling off studio materials, so that I can keep my studio going. Also, am I the only one that could give a [] about the animal, and am just looking to finish out my lure collection?! I have enough animals that I cant keep feed for anyways, because we cant get an additional feed mill or 2....

Well, 4 hours away and I know I will not complete this event. Can’t even get the guaranteed 5 collection turn in.

I have played diligently through this event. To have it come to a disappointing end on the very last quest is sad.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it for the last time - I cannot for the life of me understand how these events can be so lopsided.

What should I have done differently? I crafted nearly 80 items in the Studio! To get only 3 papers? Come on!

It’s sad and disappointing so many players put a solid effort into this game and get this.

09-06-18, 02:21 PM
I finally got the fuschia owl, after making well over 60 scarves and submitting the 5th collection. Kinda feel after all that effort that I probably deserved both pets, after spending a lot of my spare time logging in and checking my farm. Not sure these events are really worth our time, especially after reading all the comments here tonight... Good luck to those trying to finish the event!

I have sat and listened to the complaints and I have something to say.
I for one love the fact that we once again have events.
There was some lovely decorations in these two events that you could win.
We went for some time with no events and that is the only time I ever thought of quitting and I have been playing like close to five years.
I don't fault the storm team for putting a building "The SCHOOLHOUSE" for sale to make money to pay overhead, employees, etc.
And as a former office manager I would not make every day a gimme.
Meaning if one day ...the last day is not hard how the heck are they going to get players to buy THE SCHOOLHOUSE boost.
The bottom line is if the company does not make money then the game ceases to exist.
I do not mind buying some gems to support one of the best gaming companies out there.
They even put THE SCHOOLHOUSE on sale for 88 gems.
Players are able to earn gems by sending trains, some drops from pets, watching a video or from show ponies.
I save my gems to buy the building boost for these events.
If you have zero gems then 88 gems is going to cost you about FIVE DOLLARS.
I don't think that is gouging.
Heck I look at it as the price of a coffee and a donut.
Support the game and the events.
Thank you Storm8 staff for continuing to do events for us players and for the first time ever giving a pet for just turning in five collections.
The star path, the pig in the locker and the library cat, etc were outstanding decor.
Like wow hats off to the designers.

I don't know your gem situation but if you are just missing papers you can buy for 25 gems.
On my game that is what a missing event item costs so beings you have turned in three collections two more will get you the fuchsia owl...or fifty gems for two papers.

09-06-18, 05:50 PM
Spring peeper, you are right.
I finally got my fuschia owl and have since been working with my daughter to try and help her. But no matter how much chocolate sugar and corn syrup I keep selling her, her sugar spinner just won?t give a single drop. Of course she never seems to pay the game much attention except when there is a quest she wants. So, her sugar spinner only has two spots. She can?t load it and let it crank all day, then collect on the afternoon. It helps that I have made a point of doing deliveries just to get the hardware to expand each of my buildings. Most of my buildings are at max. I have a big paint bucket deficiency, but my point is the long term strategy of prepping for the next event. So, although I do see her disappointment when she realizes there is no way for her to finish, I don?t feel bad enough to offer to pay real money to help her.
Someone with a real glitch is a whole other story. I don?t understand computers enough to even fully comprehend what is going on with that. Or why some people experience it in the game a lot while others don?t. I do know that since I found I can ?force save? by selling in my shop and visiting others, I rarely run into them anymore. But, that could just be my experience. Someone else could be experiencing a completely different kind of issue. These issues do require technical assistance and attention. I honestly have no idea how unforeseeable these issues may, or may not, be.

There I go again. I tend to run on. I enjoy playing this game, especially with the help and cooperation of others in the forum. I have learned a lot by reading your (everyone?s) posts. Some of you I almost feel like I know... others.. well, you boggle my mind. But I truly wish everyone a positive and uplifting experience. And I really am stopping talking now.

RoyalBlue305
09-06-18, 06:55 PM
After a ton of attempts I finally got 5 papers to turn in to get the Fushia Owl. It was a huge effort but worth it as he’s a cute addition to the farm. But no luck on getting the other Owl or the Kitties with Books. Lots of School Buses! Never got a single tile. Many repeats of decorations. My drop rate for papers was about 1 paper per every 10-12 studio item. Didn’t seem to matter if I made a scarf or button or even long-time items like pillows or the stuffed animal or blue puffy jacket. I knew that it would be near impossible to get the brown owl but I am happy about the purple one! Thank you Storm 8 for giving us the turn-in after 5 attempts. Oh and as for Leaderboard I was able to complete it all with days to spare but ended up below 5th place. But I was happy with the other new color duckies and the paint cans!

I didn't like this event, I only got 1 notebook for the entire time so I was only able to turn in 1 collection.

There's a reason I usually skip events because they're really not doable for me, I like the previous penguin one which is why I participated and was satisfied with those prizes. Thinking I could get the fucsia owl is why I tried this one, complete waste of time.

For future events please make the drop rates a bit more reasonable.

My hard to get item was day 8 - the notebook - papers were actually okay for me. I spent 6 days trying to get 4 notebooks (I had the lower level requirements) and only managed to get 3. Sigh. It was frustrating but it's just a game and I decided the fuschia owl wasn't worth spending real money. If I could have bought one notebook for 10-15 gems I would have done that but it didn't appear to be possible. (Or if it was possible, I couldn't work out how to do that).

I will spend money on these games sometimes (eg. I've spent $20 on CS over the past year) but not $5 every event because my entertainment budget is very limited. But I'm also okay with missing out sometimes because I understand that making the events super tough is one of the ways that freemium games persuade people to spend money and they need to pay their programmers etc.
