I'm close to unlocking the expansion with my beehive, so I'm wondering if I should before the event. My hubby's account is only level 17 though, and his is getting the popup for the event, so I'm thinking the beehive area might not be essential for this event

I don't think you'll need the beehive for this event since it unlocks at level 30. It's more important that you expand to the fishing pond and the mine since most of the events require them, if you haven't done so.

No. If you take a look back at some of the earlier events (including the current May Flowers Event), those white flowers with yellow centers seem to be there as well. I would suggest that they are simply generic decorations for the announcements.

Agreed! Considering we just had an event for baby animals. Now it's a baby animal with a bee outfit? Really? That's ALL they could think of?

Maybe instead of having back to back events, take some time and think of something creative.

Then again I could be totally wrong, but why would it appear to be a calf in a bee outfit....

Who knows why it's a new skin for the cows--a calf in a bee outfit? We'll just have to wait and see.

However, I'd speculate that the skin has something to do with the event, so even if it isn't the grand prize, but one of the lesser prizes, it fits in with the theme of the event. What this is remains to be seen. Maybe it's a second beehive?

A second beehive might be worth participating....but new crafts for a flower shop I didnt buy yet and *another* baby animal, however cute....no thanks! Hopefully those of us not participating are better able to help those who are by selling things this time.

If it's a fair event, you can choose to discard the requested item and wait 30 minutes for a new option to appear. So, you can still get it done despite the high-level items being requested. Just refresh until the items you get are within your budget.

No, I was just stating why I wouldn't be participating based on past fair event experiences.

Granted, I would probably be a little more eager to participate if the prize was decent. The calf in the bee outfit is rather foolish to me, but to each their own. Then again, maybe the final prize is more than just an animal skin? I guess we will find out soon!

Just to be clear - I was not implying that the event had started and that was the first order I received. The event will more than likely start at 5:30 EST. I was simply stating that in past experiences, I was left with orders that were extremely time consuming to fill, and the status bar did not move up that much.

Ah, now I understand. Yes, by the last day, it can be extremely frustrating. However, for some of us the last prize has been worth all the time and effort. Yes, we'll have to wait and see what the last prize will be, but now I'm wondering about all the other prizes...more skins built around the "Bee" theme? Hmm...honey-pot pigs, honeycomb sheep, beehive cows...lol

I actually really enjoy fair events since I actually have control over whether or not I get to the goal. It's not some collection event where I can work and work and it's up to luck or an event that requires help from neighbors to collect 2000 items to upgrade whatever it is.

Though there's no denying the value of doing deliveries and leveling up, you might also consider crafting the highest level items you can and selling those in your side shop. Other players who are participating in the event will be looking for those items as the Fair Event requests them, so you might be able to earn a lot of coins just by selling things.

Bee feeder: it's supposed to increase the rate of bee swarms appearing for you to tap on and receive items.

Upgrade kits: these are (presumably) meant to help you reach the next upgrade for your barn and your silo. Unless, of course, you have already upgraded both to their uppermost limit (max capacity). However, if so, you can still use the different items to unlock more spaces on your buildings or in your Side Shop, in the Water Garden, etc.

Buying and placing the bee feeder on your farm will attract more swarms of bees!!!!
When you tap on these bees you receive a random prize...like the butterflies and moles.

The kits are barn and silo parts for upgrading.
If you are at maximum levels in your barn and silo then you can sell the parts in your store.

If you've already completed the orders for the day, you'll have to wait. Once a new day has started, you can click on one of the beehives in the event area to buy it. (I guess you can buy up to two?) I forget how many gems it is.

I think I was initially offered my first booster at 125 gems, but I'm not 100% sure. I have nowhere near that right now, so I kind of just closed that ad and went on with my game.

A new event day has just started, you can now purchase the boost by clicking on the hive in your fair ground for 125 gems. Collect from it every 2 hours while your event day is open, i.e. before you submit your last order for the day.

When I tried to discard and request a new option, the game stated I had to wait 30 minutes and lose all my progress. My progress bar was at 32% already and I did not want to lose that. Can someone verify that, if you request a new option you will lose all progress for the day?

You will not lose your progress if you discard an county fair order. Just a matter of waiting 30 minutes to refresh or 3-4 gems to refresh immediately.

Personally I view the fair orders the same as delivery orders, so I'm doing the fair orders instead. And if along the way, I get some cool skins, that's a nice bonus. I guess I wasn't disappointed cos I didn't see it from an event perspective and I didn't mind skipping some delivery drops. The goals are just by products when I achieve event days. Well, I'm taking this easy as a stress free event, as you can tell. :o

Day 3
Five bee order 12 percent
Four bee order 10 percent
Three bee order 8 percent
Two bee order 5 percent
0ne bee order 2 percent

Day 4
Five bees 10 percent
Three bees 5 percent

Ok here's the scoop....if you are participating in the event you need to keep your machines producing items that take awhile to make.
There is a nice set of three animal skins for the final prize....available for coins.
By this I mean you are filling orders for the fair that basically are worth coins in your store.
NOT GEMS....so you can get a set of bee skins for your sheep, pigs and cows for coins.

I am not going to pass that up... Yes I would of preferred a pet but there will be more events that have pets as a prize....we just got a lovely Bambi for doing a goal line for buying the florist shop.

So let's get buzzing, fill those orders and get ourselves a set of bee skins.

And still hoping that perhaps we get to buy that lovely tree with the beehive in it.

What a beautiful corner we can have with the honeybee hive, the bee skins for our animals, and some honeycomb building skins and crossing fingers for that tree!!!

HINT! HINT!

Those with the yellow background (or orange, depending on how you perceive it) indicates that you have enough of those items in your inventory (as indicated by the numbers below the items). Those with the blue (or green) background are those items that you do not yet have enough of. You should also have the words "Deliver" (on orange) and "Gather" (on blue) below the items. Tap on those to either give those items (and receive a new order) or to leave the screen to start finding and collecting the items you need.

Do you mean how long you have to wait after completing one goal before the next one unlocks? It all depends on how quickly you finish the goal. If, for example, you were able to finish the 7th goal in under one hour, you'd have to wait over 23 hours for the 8th goal to unlock. Then, if you finish the 8th goal with only 5 or so minutes left, that's all you'd have to wait until the 9th goal unlocked. All goals--assuming you've finished the previous day's goals--unlock at the same time (which I think is 12 a.m. PDT).

Of course, if I totally misunderstood your question and that wasn't what you were asking about, I apologize.

You have to get to one hundred percent on the progress bar to win the prize of the day!

Day 1
Five bee order 22 percent
Meaning if you do five ....five bee orders
You get today's prize.
Five ...five bee orders would equal 110 percent and no you can't carry to next day.

Each day the task bar starts at zero.

Day 2
Five bee order 16 percent
You would have to do seven five bee orders today to get today's prize.

Day 3
Five bee order 12 percent
You would have to do 9 five bee orders today to get the prize.

Four bee order 10 percent
Three bee order 8 percent
Two bee order 5 percent
0ne bee order 2 percent

Day 4
Five bees 10 percent
Three bees 5 percent

Day 5
Five bees 8 percent
Three bees 4 percent
Two bees 3 percent
One bee 2 percent

Day 5
Five bees 8 percent
Three bees 4 percent
Two bees 3 percent
One bee 2 percent

Day 7
Silo day
Five bees 6 percent
Four bees 4 percent
Three bees 4 percent
Two bees 3 percent

Day 9
I didn't pay much attention but believe
Five bees were 5 percent down to one bee giving 1 percent of task bar
You would have to do 20 five bee orders today to win the prize

In every fair event
the amount of orders you have to give increases each day
and you get less points in the task bar each day for the items you give.

Tomorrows skins are worth five hundred gems so if a five bee order is still worth five percent of the task bar...
Then you would have to give 20 five bee orders to win the prize!

Sandybellee
05-28-16, 03:26 AM

Before you get more upset, let me explain how it works... What you collect from the beehive boosts remain the same for each collection throughout the event, but because the progress bar increases for each event day, that's why the percentage drops. So it isn't as what you think, your boost is working as it should be. Hope this helps to make you feel better. :)


General guidelines for Fair events
.....

Day 1 requires 75 gems orders
Day 2 requires 150 gems orders
Day 3 requires 200 gems orders
Day 4 requires 250 gems orders
Day 5 requires 250 gems orders
Day 6 requires 300 gems orders
Day 7 requires 300 gems orders

Umm... No it doesn't ... So what u are saying is ...when we MOST need the boosts that's when we get the LEAST help ?? Ridiculous !!

The amount from the boost doesn't change; it is the progress needed for each event day that has increased. Likewise the a 5 bees order on Day 1 has a higher percentage value than on Day 10. The boost helps in some of your progress compared to not having a boost at all. But you will still need to deliver some orders. You can collect as many times as you need while your event day is open.

SadieMaesFarm
05-28-16, 09:30 AM
I am really trying to understand ... I see what you are saying about the amount of orders needed go up each day ... But when I start at a 3% boost on day 1 and today at 1% boost ... How can that not be seen as the boosts not changing? If amount to finish day goes up, boost amounts should certainly not go down ... I truly don't understand . It is what it is I guess ... But lesson certainly learned !

Rynetory2
05-28-16, 09:42 AM
Ok let's talk in terms of number of bees. For example, you get 100 bees each time you collect from your boost.

Day 1 requires 1000 bees, Day 2 requires 2000 bees, ... Day 10 requires 10,000 bees. So in terms of bees, your boost gives you 100 bees per collection consistently throughout the whole event. But when you calculate that to percentage to the bees required for each day, the percentage does drop because the daily bees required increased.

When viewed in percentage, there are 2 maths values in the calculation.. bees from collection / daily bees required. It is the latter that increases.

05-28-16, 03:26 PM
You have to get to one hundred percent on the progress bar to win the prize of the day!

Thanks, I was more asking if the number of orders has changed from prior events. I usually fly through these fair events, but am finding the numbers are moving so incredibly slow this time. I guess I could not be so lazy and just go back to an old thread to see how much percent the orders used to be worth lol

PookieBear50
05-29-16, 02:23 PM
Finished the event and got my skins, but it really cost me, coin-wise: over 150,000! And since June is just days away, I'm sure I won't have very long to try to rebuild my balance. Guess my pear trees and goats will just have to wait.

On another note, I'd have to say: this event has both been fun and not been fun. On the one hand, it was a learning experience, as I had to figure out which of my neighbors (if any) were more likely to have certain items I needed, based on their current farm levels. Also, in my search for hard-to-find items, I got to visit some very impressive farms. On the other hand, it very frequently turned out like this: items I had no need of (for example, strawberry cobbler, orange marmalade, etc.) were all over the newspaper and in my neighbors' shops...until the moment I actually needed them for the fair, at which point they all vanished, even though I know for a fact that some of those items had been in their shops all day long...I find it very suspicious that the moment I need something, it just vanishes entirely.

Oh, well...at least I'm free for a couple of days. I probably can't make back all the coins I spent, but at least I should be able to start crafting normally and making deliveries again (all of which was on hold since I had no idea what I would need for the event).

Good luck to all still working on the event, congratulations to those who are done, and to those who chose not to participate...I totally understand and can appreciate your wisdom in opting out.

I played and thought it was a lot of fun. I too spent almost all my meager funds and all but 1 gem but once I began I just had to finish. I kept telling myself, I'll just play till I win the honeycomb house skin, the tools, the honeycomb barn skin.
Haha...well I ended up so close to the end I knew I couldn't stop till I won those costumes. The pigs especially look adorable but I can't help wishing I could turn my chickens into bees too.
I do have a few questions, I haven't expanded to the mine yet. Does that mean I lost out on the mining prize? And also I don't own any goats, llamas, etc. yet (only chickens, cows, pigs and sheep). Once I do have them will the bumblebee skin be available for subsequently purchased animals?
Thanks, and I did have fun. It was my first FS2 event.

So this is the first of the county fair type events that I've gotten all the way through in some time ! Very happy with my little bee animals. But what bugs me is what about the chickens ?! It seems they get left out a lot when we get rewarded with skins. I also wish when there was an event that offers skins for the buildings that by the end we would have skins for ALL of our buildings so they all match !!

Anyway I finished about 5 hours ago. I hope everyone finished! Now I'm trying to get back my coins that I've been hemorrhaging during this event!!

Congrats on the completion of your 1st event!! :D You certainly did very well and I'm glad to hear that you had fun. I too especially love the bees skin for the pigs.

With regards to your mining prizes, I think they are currently stored in your game and will be available to you once you have opened your mine. Let me get confirmation on this and revert to you. FYI you get 3 free ones of each for starters too, upon opening your mine. :o

The animal skins offered in this event are for cows, pigs and sheeps; there arent any for goats and alpacas. These prize animal skins are reusable so you can apply to more pens in future. You can get the baby goat skin by completing the Getting your goats goals (http://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?90970-Getting-Your-Goat-Goals-April-21-2016-(iOS)) when you have reached the level to buy goats. In the mean time, earn coins, level up and most of all, Happy Farming!


@Sandybelle, Pookiebear50, ginrae22 - Congrats to you on finishing the event! Likewise to other members as well! For those still trying, keep going. We are cheering you on. :o

It would be better to discard an order that takes three hours to make.
You get a new order in thirty minutes.
That's cool, until the refreshed order requires an item that takes 6 hours and it rewards 3 bees.

Just got a pop-up offering the skins for 500 gems! Only $20 US :rolleyes::eek:

I wasn't able to finish day 10, but I figured that would happen going into the event since I've been on vacation since day 8. I also wasn't overly excited about the animal skins. What I am happy about in this event is a) I got some nice skins for a few buildings, b) I am still getting the buzzing bees to tap on and collect random items even after the event has ended which is fun (because I purchased the bee feeder?), and c) THANK YOU AGAIN for the bee tree! It really is one of my favorite decorations on my farm!

Great offer, before aligate

I definitely would have splurged

I never complete these order events. I only got through day 3, had to work almost daily.

Your mining prizes will be stored in your game until you have opened your mine. :)

Just for curiosity... Is the prize for the skins 500 gems for everyone, also for those who haven't participate? I've made it till day 9 and have a last chance to buy the skins for 500 gems... I enjoyed playing the game and regret I couldn't finish. One of my problems was finding needed items in the market. Most of the time it was offered in a high quantity and high prize so I finished my coins in a short time. From the otherside I also understand because probably the sellers also needed the money... Now I have 2 days to think about spending 500 gems to buy the skins with another event coming soon... I think I'll skip.

The fair has an automatic start so even if you dont participate, it starts on its own on the 4th day. The offer goes out to everyone who did not complete the event. You can try some of the suggestions in the Event Guide to build your farm for events.

Will we continue to have bee swarms around our farm, along with getting bonus items with them to stay on permanently? It is a nice bonus to have added on our farm����

Sorry the bees will be leaving our farms too now the fair is over. They are cute aren't they? :)

I noticed that some of my neighbors are now able to use the "event" space on the farm, what do you need to do to expand to that area?

Those neighbours must be on Android devices to be able to use them. The fair grounds is dedicated to Fair event for iOS members.

Now that the County Fair is over, has the bee swarm that gave free items and coins been removed?

Skip my question, I just read the above question. Shame to lose the bees as we had to use hard earned gems to get the bee feeder but I guess it makes a nice decoration ��������

Just wondering, does the animated bee tree give anything or is it just a decoration?

The Bee Tree is an animated decoration.

Perhaps not totally related to this event, but... What happened to the bumbling bees that many of us earned in our last event? The bees that swarmed around and often times provided extra ciders, tarts and raisin breads. I notice they seemed to disappear once this event started ? Will they be back?

Sorry the bees were specifically for this event. They would not be returning... :(

In case you aren't aware, event items don't stay after event. Event buildings become decorations after which. Ummm are we talking about the same bees? I just needed to tap on mine, no work needed. :)

ETA: I'm sure the bees will return in another form for future events.
