I don’t have a crystal ball, but my gut tells me it’s one of those Turn-In 23x kind, being all event items crafted in just 1 building (the give 3,4,5 kind we make event items with different buildings) plus there’s the 2000 coins Mardi Gras Building where I’m guessing we turn in from to get prizes. I could be wrong of course.

The event has 7 day timer, wonder if a 7day LB is coming out in like 2hrs.

First time ever I got a pet after 3 tries! Yahoo my faith is restored! And a Peacock...yippee!

[ankavale1000]

Sigh. I turned in before I got to goal 8. Not smart on my part. Sigh.

[peachtreeshoppe]

FYI im getting Morgan’s feathers from cooking in the kitchen. (L23)

[peachtreeshoppe]

I wasn’t going to do this event but I’ve discarded so many things I figured it’s worth a go. Now that I want to, I can’t find pipers feathers. I must’ve discarded/attempted to sell and had to toss at least 5. I’ve crafted more than 40 feeds since and haven’t found one now that I want to. Can a lower level player confirm where piper feathers come from?

I think the only differences is mining and fishing


Piper's Mask - Chocolatier
Piper's Feathers - Mine - LOWER LEVELS Feed Mill
Piper's Beads - crops
Morgan's Masks - Deep Fryer
Morgan's Beads - Planes
Morgan's Feathers - fishing - LOWER LEVELS Kitchen
Lucas Mask - Apple Trees
Lucas Beads - pigs
Lucas Feathers - Passion Fruit Vines

Are we sure about feed mill? I made more than 30 cow feeds and a handful of each of the others since I decided I wanted the feathers, and nothing. I can’t recall where they came from when they popped up before though and I don’t have one in inventory to read the back.

[tsumtsum27]

You can check it by go the farmer outpost and click "craft", it will show what item is 0, carefull click on the picture of that item, carefull not to click on the gem price, it will show where to find that item.

Thank you, this worked! It is feed mill, so I started using my original. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence but I got two masks after I started using that one rather than my secondary. Anyways wahoo, onto part 3! Update: For lower levels, it’s send 5 deliveries. Off to deep fry some potatoes and eggs...

First time ever I got a pet after 3 tries! Yahoo my faith is restored! And a Peacock...yippee!

I dont know why i am lost... but where does the peacock come from?

[Lilliepaddd]

The Lucas feathers are not dropping from the passion fruit trees. I?ve only had 2 in the last 4 collections. I?m at a standstill! Can someone fix please. Thanks

[Mitzi111]

You can do it as many times as you want.
Each time you turn in the Mardi Gras Float at The Mardi Gras Building you get a prize.
List of prizes in post 1.
One is the Peacock Pet.

If you do it 23 times as per goal 8 you get the Mardi Gras Jester.

I really like the Mardi Gras Ticket Booth and the Feather Stand.
Paths I have always loved!

OHHHHHH ok I get it now! Thanks for the explanation Judyandthecat : )

[logansmil]

Is the jester a pet?

[judyandthecat]

Is the jester a pet?

He is for sale in the Market for 250 gems.
He has a 2 hour timer!

[Mitzi111]

grrrrrr I am still stuck trying to get Lucas' feathers. Collected from vines 3 times and no feathers. The wait for them to regenerate is agonizing! lol So I havent been able to make a float yet. Cross fingers that the 4th try is a charm

Watch your newspaper. I bought a lot of items in the paper.

[KojiMama]

I’ve stopped accumulating points. When I send a delivery or harvest pigs etc it looks like it ticks up then reverts back to 2984. I’m way behind other players on the leaderboard and that never happens. What gives???

Have you tried quitting and reopening the game, if not, heres now:

On devices with a home button:
Double Press the home button and then swipe up on the Farm Story 2 card.

On devices without a home button:
Swipe up half way and then hold for a second, then swipe up on the Farm Story 2 card.

[judyandthecat]

Update on Mardi Gras Jester

It is like a jack in the box.
Two hour timer
Gives Event Items
Can't be stored now but beings it is a boost item I am assuming when the event ends you will be able to store it.

[peachtreeshoppe]

FYI lower level is 15 to turn in as opposed to 23. I might make it.

[raissawinda]

1. Queen of Mardi Grass
2. Mardi Grass Balloons
3. Mardi Grass Mask Float
4. Fleur de Lis Path
5. King of Mardi Grass
That's all. Thank you.
I'm not feeling so well so I think I'll be able to make 5 turn-ins or so. Small chance to win the Peacock. I didn't mean to join but this one is an easy one for me (if I'm in a very good health). I don't love all the decorations bcs they're not animated.

[Lapetshop7]

27 turn ins later and still no peacock bird. Guess I'm done with this event now

[tigerlillypalace]

27 turn ins later and still no peacock bird. Guess I'm done with this event now

same here...I've turned in 37 and still no peacock...used all my tools for mining and not many feathers (had more than 60 tools at the start of this event)...none in the last 8 digs. None in the market place or in community markets...crafted as many as I could, too. with 13 hours to go,not holding much hope of achieving the peacock :(

[judyandthecat]

The event is ending today.
My suggestion:
Fill your stores with Pipers Beads at full price.
Ten sells for 1,750.00 dollars
Ten spots is $17,500.00
Bots will buy!

[praphulladp]

same here...I've turned in more than 30 and still no peacock...
Admin please genuine players must get for their efforts else people will leave playing this game....

[praphulladp]

Again idiot lamp, tiles etc simply frustrating!!

[capitalcee]

Yep turned in about 35 and no peacock. I?ve been checking out my neighbors and random farms and I haven?t seen a peacock. Reason#295 why I don?t give them one dime to play this game.

[Mitzi111]

OH NO I just put in my last float and it takes 59 min.... but i see that we only have 54 min left in the event ! Will it finish the last float even if the clock runs out????

[praphulladp]

No peocock after 35_40 attempts’—— Game deleted

[ankavale1000]

OH NO I just put in my last float and it takes 59 min.... but i see that we only have 54 min left in the event ! Will it finish the last float even if the clock runs out????

It might, but ... here’s a big BUT, you most likely will not be able to turn in at Mardi Gras Building. The building stops working once times up, I believe.
Option 1 is for you to speed up with gems. Beware you need 5min at the building too (unless you gem this one also)
Option 2 is to just let it go.

[ankavale1000]

I didn’t participate in the 2017 Mardi Gras World Event, so this is my 1st Mardi Gras.
Happy with the deco (love paths) even if not animated. The purple and yellow theme really nice.
Managed to turn in as many as I can, wish we had more time to turn in though, I wouldn’t mind more paths.

[Paul__]

No peacock after 37 attempts :(

[PookieBear50]

If anyone won the Peacock, please send a picture to Paul__ and also post here which habitat it goes into (I am thinking it is probably the Bird Tree, but it might also go elsewhere, so please let us know what you discover). Thanks!

[Mitzi111]

update. aaarrrghh my float came out 4.5 min after the event ended and i cant put it in the building to create prize now.

Delusa da questo evento!! Il premio finale dopo 23 consegne equivale a zero...meritiamo di pi?!!! Mi piacciono gli eventi come questo...ma ci deve essere una ricompensa onesta dopo tanto sforzo. Ovviamente il pavone non si ? fatto vedere nella mia fattoria...ma non ci speravo neppure tanto. Puoi fare di meglio Storm8...l'hai mostrato in eventi passati.

Non possiamo vincere ogni volta. A volte dobbiamo perdere per apprezzare di piu vincere. Potremmo non avere sempre successo in questi eventi. La tua alternativa e quella di spendere soldi e acquistare gemme per accelerare le macchine in modo da poter consegnare piu collezioni e aumentare le tue opportunita per vincere il premio che desideri.

[Allie0105]

Another luck event - another no luck for me. From the list of prizes I only received 7 of the prizes after 30 turn ins. All of them were previous prizes and no peacock for me. It is so disappointing. I could accept it if I didn’t put a lot of effort in to each event. I think I need a break from the game. No more working really hard to fall short at the end.

[tayven12]

Dangling carrots. Makes feel like I?m at the carnival and picking a paper cup to win a prize. And all the cups are empty. Really wonder why I play this game. It?s not fun. It?s not relaxing and it eats up all time. Ugh ugh ugh. I couldn?t even get a peacock statue from the cloches.

[Peggyg723]

i have the peacock.. it does live in my bird tree.. it won't upload my photo though.. what am I doing wrong? saved it as JPG and still not working. Also virtually impossible to get a snap of him with tail spread - you can tap him and he struts but it closes so fast I can't get a picture with feathers spread...

Non fraintendermi....non mi aspettavo di vincere il pavone...quello ? solo fortuna. Facevo notare che stavolta dopo le 23 consegne(minimo) non abbiamo ottenuto un premio come altre volte...e che non ci fosse un vero premio lo si ? capito praticamente solo alla fine. L'ho vissuto come un evento poco onesto, tutto qui. E credimi...proprio in questo evento ho speso parecchie gemme...
Comunque ti ringrazio per il tuo intervento...ogni pensiero, opinione o critica apporta una crescita 😊
Buona serata

Okay, so, now that the event is over...why does my Brazilian Fountain look like it is NOT spouting water and is instead sending out radar or sonar waves?

Thanks! I have updated the Pets Habitat thread. Do you know if it can go in any other habitats, such as the Tropical Bird Base or the Wildlife Den or maybe the Mythical Meadow?

peacock can also live in wildlife den

[Heymichx]

No peacock after 37 attempts :(

I have the same issue on every one of these. Multiple everything but always 1 item that is a no show so don?t complete. Don?t know why I do it because I know I will fail. I think I still play because it?s a good distraction to responsibilities in life, if I don?t feed animals for a day it?s not like they will shout ?mum, Mum, Mum, when?s tea mum? etc

[PookieBear50]

Thanks, I updated the Pets Habitat thread.

[tayven12]

Thank you for the peacock statue. Very happy and surprised to get it. Still disappointed about the event but better than nothing.
