Things To Remember!
1. New Goals appear at 5:30 pm Eastern Time
2. Drops are random
3. Buy the Oyster Boat if you can.
This boost item allows you to take an event item and turn it into a different event item.
4. No one knows what machine or tree is going to give the new day's event item.
Be ready. Make sure trees, animals and machines are ready for collection at release time.
5. Have a question? Ask? We have some very experienced farmers with answers.

I didn’t get a pop up either. There are exotic pets instead of regular pets for this event too. Is there anyway we can get the ability to store these exotic pets?

I have made a request for storage so here is hoping in the future it can happen.

[TwixAndScones]

I'm more worried about the sizing... The dolphin I would absolutely love to get if it's say like the size of a seahorse. The last two exotic pets, the Swan Love and the Mardi Gras Lobster, have been very small and even harder to see.

But either way, I'm not spending extra money into this event. Last time I did to try and get the Hot Chocolate Snowman and didn't succeed.

The animal after you turn in 4/5 collections is weird, looks like some sort of fish in a seashell or something. Interesting to say the least.

The rest of the prizes aside from the Treasure Map and the Dolphin don't interest me, personally. I actually wish the dolphin was at the end of turning in 4-5 collections, as I would for certain get it.

Thanks Judy you are the best!

[RoyalBlue305]

I think the Dolphin looks amazing but like Twix, I hope it is bigger like the seahorses. The tiny little Mardi Gras Lobster is cute but too tiny for my liking and eyes!

Also Team if we could have the Seahorses be animated all the time like the wonderful flytrap flowers. I rarely collect from the Seahorses since once you do, they go to sleep until you feed and then until they wake up. Wish they were always moving. They are some of my favorite items! Thank you.

[ExcalS8]

Fixed an issue where the popup and event icon weren't showing up. Future logins should see them.

Thank you! And I would buy you a mocha if we can PLEASE store exotic pets. Androids too.

[segelj]

I can’t get rid of the oyster shuckers. I’m trying to unload them through the newspaper and it won’t let me get rid of them.
I’m not interested in this event, but since I am still sending lots of plane orders to fill goals in the Full of Love Event, I don?t want these piling up in my barn.

I already had to purchase several oyster shucking tables at 2,000 coins each, just to get rid of the shuckers. I don’t like wasting coins though.
Can anything be done?

Looks like there is a bug that doesn’t allow you to sell the item. Whenever you click on the “Sell” button it does nothing. I think the issue is with the maximum price. Hopefully Judy can report this for us when she gets on either tonight or tomorrow morning.

[judyandthecat]

I have reported the Oyster Shuckers not being able to be sold or dumped.

[Debbyart]

This is happening to me too and I don?t have the money to spend 2000 to get rid of 1 item in my barn. PLEASE FIX ASAP

Thank you Judy. Will they do an update or will it just get fixed?

Same, my storage is filling up with un sellable oyster shuckers. I do not want to participate and will not use my coins to buy something that will give me yet more items I won't use and won't be able to sell for $2000.

[ExcalS8]

Oyster Shuckers can now be sold in the Market (they can't be bought, however). This should help clear up inventory space.

Thanks for making them non-sellable as well. Because of that, they won't constantly be cluttering up the newspaper. Which helps in my quest to better find the stuff/items I need without having to see nothing but them.

Goal 3
Get 3 Shigoku Oysters from the Bed and Breakfast
REWARDS: 200 coins, 3 experience points
This is a random drop

[judyandthecat]

Goal 4
Get 3 Beausoleil Oysters from pigs
REWARDS: 200 coins, 3 experience points

[KojiMama]

The coin toss ad that runs when you’re trying to send deliveries doesn’t allow an exit after five seconds. For people who are spending gems on boosts and are high level, those extra seconds eat up precious boost time. It’s a ferociously ugly ad as well. Can we get rid of it please?

[judyandthecat]

Goal 5
Get 3 Blue Point Oysters from Windmill
REWARDS: 200 coins, 3 experience points

[TwixAndScones]

Wow! Colour me shocked. I am surprised it didn't take long for me to gather 6 of the oysters from the windmill. In previous events like this, it took me forever just to gather 4. But not with this one! It took not even more than 5 hours to get 6.

OYSTER BOAT IS ON SALE

This boat will help you make Event Items that are hard to get.
You use two event items from the day before of the one you are trying to make.

[TwixAndScones]

I visited a farm that had visited me, and they already had the fish (Fish Venus) at the end of turning in 4-5 collections. It looks to be an exotic pet, which I am personally happy with, due to me not liking regular pets all that much - at least not in comparison to exotics.

And I must say, that is decently sized. I'm impressed with it. Though I must admit, I don't understand why it has blond /yellow hair. Is it a reference to something? Or am I just looking too far into it?

[judyandthecat]

Goal 10
Get 3 Belon Oysters from Apple Trees
REWARDS: 200 coins, 3 experience points

[judyandthecat]

Goal 11
Get 3 Pacific Oysters from Studio
REWARDS: 200 coins, 3 experience points

Good Luck Everyone!
Remember the Boost Oyster Boat is on sale.
I bought it and it has nice animation.

[TwixAndScones]

Colour me shocked! I got the dolphin. I was not expecting to get it at all.

And let me say, I am very impressed with the sizing. I got to give me credit where it's due, thanks to the team! I was fully expecting it to be as small as the narwhal or even the lobster. It's not, thankfully!

It's the same size as the standard seahorse.

[Fairyreserve]

Should I wait to do a turn in till I have 3 from the studio? Or will the two I now have still count for the final goal if I turn them in before I get the 3rd?

[Woldawson]

24 hours collecting from studio & not one oyster drop🤨🤨. Same old TL

[duckbean]

Same here not one oyster drop from the studio

[Hanja49]

Same here, no oyster drops from studio

[maddiegayy0]

Still not one oyster drop from studio ???

[duckbean]

Finally I got the first oyster drop from the studio

I think there is a bug with the Anchor decoration, looks different from how it looks in the picture. (Different angle and the base of the anchor looks weird)

Agreed. Same here.

[PuntaMita]

Keeping track this time.
Two studios, used 2 bell boosts so far with non-stop crafting.
58 crafts = 7 event oysters
Beyond frustrating.
Is it necessary to make playing such a struggle with limited rewards?

Honestly, the fish thing is kind of meh. I would rather the prize was the dolphin. If you end up missing the fish, there are better event prizes to come, I'd imagine.

Someone help me please I am not getting any oyester from the deep fryer why is it happening?please help😓😓

Love the sizing too! But why does he have his eyes closed? I wish the Team would give him open eyes like the other fish and sea horses. I worked pretty hard to get him lol.

[RoyalBlue305]

Message to the S8 Team: Hey guys thank you for a great event! It was very difficult but rewarding. Loved all the prizes and the theme. But can you give the Dolphin open eyes please? That would be a nice addition to a wonderful prize. Thank you!

The only way to really succeed at these type events is to spend gems on the crafting item, which was the oyster boat for this event. You have to continually make parts with that item along with using the bell boosts like you did. I was non-stop as well and it took me all the way to the end to get the dolphin. Plus it helps to make the longer-timed items such as the buttons to get the desired parts. The red scarfs don’t drop as many parts as the other items do, at least that’s how it works for me most of the time. Same with the fishing pond. The yellow baits drop items less frequently than the other baits.

My anchor is also straight up with the white base. Thanks for pointing that out Paul.

Did you feed him? After feeding his eyes or open and he is spinning in the air.

[judyandthecat]

Please, Please Storm8 make our Oyster Boat animated again!

[RoyalBlue305]

Hi Judy yes I did feed him and he was animated but closed tonal-colored eyes. But today his eyes are bright and big and he’s wonderful! Yay!

[RoyalBlue305]

Please, Please Storm8 make our Oyster Boat animated again!

I second that!! Please the oyster boat is adorable!
