Introduction

Farm Story 2 has an event every couple of weeks. Events usually begin on Wednesday at 2:30pm PST after the previous event ends, but this is subject to change. You can check the event thread on Farm Story 2 | Discussion forum for more event information and join in the discussion. :)

The event information is usually found and updated in Post #1 of the event thread. You may sometimes see event announcement at the top of Post #1 from Storm8, Community Managers or Moderators. Check regularly for updates.

After the event is over, the event thread will move to the Farm Story 2 | Events & Goal Guides sub-forum.


Note:
(1) Please try to actively update event information in Post #1 if you are starting the event thread. Event threads can sometimes go to many pages and fellow members may not have the time to read through the pages to find information when Post #1 is not properly updated. Thanks for your understanding.

(2) You may use the Farm 2: Buy/Sell thread to buy/sell event items. Any buy/sell posts in the event thread will be removed.
Past event threads got very spammy with buy/sell posts made it difficult for members to find event information and answers to their questions. Thanks for your cooperation.

(3) You can use this Time Zone Converter to figure out your local time. You can enter "San Francisco" for the Storm8 time zone.

General guidelines for Fair events

This is a 10 days event. Day 1 starts at 2:30pm PST or when you click [Start Now] button. Subsequent event days start at midnight PST. Your event will automatically start on the 4th day at 7:20pm PST if you don't start it. It will end in 10 days, counting from the day it starts.

**Please note that not all fair events will allow you to start late.**

Complete the orders required for each event day to get the prize of the day and also eligibility to proceed to the next event day. Your aim is to get to Day 10 to win the event grand prize.

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
Day 8 requires 400 gems orders
Day 9 requires 540 gems orders
Day 10 requires 600 gems orders

How to play
For each day, you will need to fulfill the orders until you reach 100% on the progress bar.

The 3 orders on your event screen are like our deliveries. Get those items for your orders either by buying or crafting and click [Deliver] button. Once delivered, you will get a new order immediately. It takes 30 mins to refresh if you discard an order. You have 24 hours to fulfill the orders for the day, except for Day 1 depending when you start your fair.

If you fulfill your orders of the day earlier, the order screen will be locked and you have to wait for the next day to start. If your last order is a high value order, your progress will not carry over to the next day. While you wait for next day, you can prepare the order items shown. When the new event day starts at game reset time, your orders will be ready to go all at once.

If you can't fulfill your orders within 24 hours, you can continue to work on it the next event day (except Day 10). However this means you have shorter time to work on the rest of your event days.

Event Boosts
You can buy the event boost to help with your daily progress by collecting from it every 2 hours while your event day is open. To purchase an event boost, click on it in your fair ground while your event day is open.

Once you have completed your orders for the day, the event boosts are locked since you have completed your progress for the day and any additional progress does not carry over to next event day. You can start collecting from your event boosts at the next event day. The event boosts are only for the current event; they do not carry over to the next Fair event.

Unlocking Fair Days
The following are the gems required to unlock your Fair days.

Day 2 - 10 gems
Day 3 - 15 gems
Day 4 - 25 gems
Day 5 - 40 gems
Day 6 - 60 gems
Day 7 - 85 gems
Day 8 - 100 gems
Day 9 - 100 gems
Day 10 - 100 gems

Tips:
(1) Plan and start your event wisely so your last event day (i.e. most challenging day) falls on the day when you have most time to play.

(2) Make sure to start sending orders for Day 1 as soon as possible if the event doesn’t allow you to start later. The first day will still end at midnight PST even though the event started at 2:30 pm PST.

(3) Before you submit your last order for the day, ensure that your new orders for the next day are doable. Refresh it till you get a doable order or an order with higher value (to hasten your progress for the next day). Once you submit your last order for the day, your orders screen is locked and you can't refresh until the new event day starts.

(4) Ensure your machines are free at each new event day (midnight PST) so you can craft the order items for the new day, if need be.

Note:
(1) Using gems to speed through the days doesn't help if you speed up a few days in between. Unless you speed through all days, the game will force you back to the original 10 days schedule. So either speed through all event days to the completion of your Day 10 or not at all. The last few days, usually the last 2 days, will be the more challenging days. Thus if you want to speed, its best you do so then.

(2) Event orders and prizes may vary according to farm levels.

(3) Your event ends just before midnight PST on your Day 11. It's important to note this and convert to your own time zone so you don't miss out. You can use this Time Zone Converter to figure out your local time. You can enter "San Francisco" for the S8 time zone (PST).

General guidelines for Goal events

You need to complete a series of goals to win event prizes. These goals can be found in your Goal List (icon on the left of screen) when the event starts. Complete each goal in order to proceed to the next goal. Some goals require you to buy or craft event items, so do not buy nor craft these items until your goal prompts you to. Otherwise you may have to do it all over again and waste your resources.

It is important for players to follow through the goals and do each task step by step as you get to it. Hold on to your event items and do not use them, especially those more difficult to find/drop items - the counters may reset once you used them up and they wont count if you made the crafts in advance. You can prepare the regular crafts needed in advance but it's safer not to use the event items until you reach the goal that asks for it. Please don't mess up your event in your rush to get ahead, we don't have much time to waste to redo things. You may end up making a detour in your rush to get ahead.

Some of the past events goals required specific tasks like fishing and mining, so make sure you have already expanded to these farm features. See Requirements for events for more details.

Tips:
(1) Have all your machines ready when the event starts in case you have to make a special event item.

(2) Use your Crops & Crafts Boosts to speed up your crafting times if the goal requires you to make crafts from these machines. Cowbell boosts may not work to speed up event items. However, they will help you to make regular items faster.

(3) Make sure you have plenty of barn spaces to avoid losing event items before you do farm activities that drop event items.

Note:
(1) Your "Make" Register counts when you craft items. It does not count during collection (e.g. "Make X items"). See Frequently asked questions in Goal Guide.

(2) Event crafts may not be available in your machines until you reach the goal that asks for them. They will be made available when you have reached the respective goal.

(3) You may not get some of the event items from your deliveries until you reach the goal that asks for them. They will start to drop when you have reached the respective goal.

(4) Do not rush to upgrade your event building for those Goal events that require you to upgrade the event building.
Fully upgrading your event building will not win you the grand prize; you have to complete the goals to win it.

(5) Do not use up event items until you reach or pass the goal/task that requires them, especially those event items of rarer drops. The counters may reset once you used them up and they wont count if you made the crafts in advance.


You can check the Purrfect Quest Event thread to read more about Goal events.

General guidelines for Collection events

You need to do farm activities to collect 10 collection items. Each event day unlocks a new collection item which is found by doing a farm activity. Collect these collection items from Day 1 to Day 10 to complete collections and turn in at the Collections Gallery to win random event prizes.

Collection Items (example)
Day 1 - found when collecting crafts from Kitchen
Day 2 - found when collecting from Chickens
Day 3 - found when collecting crafts from Fryer
Day 4 - found when collecting crafts from Chocolatier
Day 5 - found when collecting crafts from Bakery
Day 6 - found when collecting from Sheep
Day 7 - found when harvesting from Orange Trees
Day 8 - found when doing deliveries
Day 9 - found when fishing with event bait
Day 10 - found when mining

The collection items normally follow one of three different sets of collection item locations. You can see them here.

You can also buy a gem event building to craft these collection items. Buying this building at the beginning of the event gives you the advantage of crafting the locked items without having to wait to Day 10 and you can turn in more collections to win more prizes.

Event Boosts
You can buy the coins and gems event boosts (e.g. pine trees, lanterns, archery targets, etc.) from the Market, if available, to help with your event. They give random rewards like coins, farm items, collection items, etc. They are good for 1 time or 2 times use and disappear after.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why am I not getting Collection Items?

• Check source of collection items. Sources of collection items may differ according to farm levels. To check your source, click on the Day X's box in the Collection Gallery and it will show you the source.
• Check game version. Make sure that you are playing on the latest regular version
• Random drops. The drops are random. It could be due to low drops. Keep trying.

Why am I not seeing the next goal?
Your goal will disappear from your Goal List upon completion. You'll get a new goal when the new corresponding collection item unlocks. Depending on the number of goals, you may get a new goal each event day or on alternate event days. Some Luck event does not have goals and some do.


Tips:
(1) Have all farm animals and fruit trees ready for collection at each new event day. So you can collect immediately when the new collection item unlocks.

(2) Use your Crops & Crafts Boosts for the Event Day which requires you to collect crafts from these buildings so you can craft and get more collection items.

(3) Expand your buildings craft slots so that you can craft more items overnight or while you're away from the game.

Note:
(1) Sources of Collection items may differ according to farm levels. To check your source, click on the Day X's box in the Collection Gallery and it will show you the source.

(2) Your event collection at the Collections Gallery will be removed once the event is over.

(3) Prizes from turning in at the Collections Gallery are random.

General guidelines for Prize Machines events

This event offers 3 categories of prizes, namely Bronze Prize Machine, Silver Prize Machine and Gold Prize Machine. You need to collect event items and craft them for turning in these machines to win event prizes. Each machine offers different event prizes. Collect the individual prizes of the machine to win the grand prize of the respective machine.

There is no order of which machine that you should start turning in. You can turn in randomly or aim for the prizes that you like. Sometimes we get Single Prize Machine event too.

Note:

• When you purchase items with Gems while viewing the Prize Machine dialog, your Gem amount will not update to show the decreased amount. Force close the game and restart it to update it.

First Prize: Holiday Silo skin : 30,000,000 presents
Second Prize: Holiday Barn skin : 150,000,000 presents
Third Prize: Holiday Farmhouse skin : 400,000,000 presents

Stages of event building upgrade (example)
There are altogether 15 stages. Collection interval is 3 hrs for all stages.
Stage 1 gives 4 presents
To upgrade to Stage 2 requires 2 of each upgrade part - gives 8 presents
To upgrade to Stage 3 requires 2 of each upgrade part - gives 12 presents
To upgrade to Stage 4 requires 3 of each upgrade part - gives 16 presents
To upgrade to Stage 5 requires 4 of each upgrade part - gives 20 presents

To see which stage your event building is at, click on the it and a caption will appear at the bottom right of your screen. To upgrade your event building, click on it and click [Upgrade] button at the bottom of your screen.

Event Boosts
You can buy the coins and gems event boosts (e.g. pine trees, lanterns, archery targets, etc.) from the Market to help with your event. They give random rewards like coins, farm items, collection items, event upgrade parts, etc. They are good for 1 time or 2 times use and disappear after.

Tips:
(1) Upgrade your event building as early as possible to maximise the number of items for each collection.

(2) The timer resets after you upgrade your event building, so make sure you collect first before you upgrade. Otherwise you will lose your pending items.

(3) Check Stormie shop daily and see if she sells you an upgrade part.

Note:
(1) The collection items do not accumulate. They remain at your event building until you collect them.

(2) Make sure you have sufficient barn space to keep building upgrade parts.

(3) In some events, you may stop getting building upgrade parts from deliveries once you have fully upgraded your event building.

Warning: Do not use outdated versions of your Farm Story 2 during the event as we had past reports from members that they lost their collection items when they used both the latest and outdated versions together. Use only the latest version for the duration of the event.

Recommended items to buy prior to events

1. expand to the pond
2. expand to the mine
3. get at least 1 bait shop, 2 bait shops if possible
4. get these buildings (kitchen, bakery, windmill, fryer, dairy, chocolatier, studio)
5. get at least 2 sheep pens, 3 sheep pens if possible
6. get maximum number of apple trees available at your farm level
7. level up to at least level 14. (Most events require you to be at least level 14)

Note: These recommendations are based on past events and are subjected to changes.

Get your farm ready to participate in events

Is your farm ready for an event?... An event is like a marathon, you need to train for it way way ahead. You don't start training for a marathon a few days or a week before it starts, so neither do you for events. Therefore start your event preparation today or as soon as you can.

Every event is time critical and has challenges like goals, luck element or drop rates etc. While we cannot control these factors, we can certainly put ourselves in better ("fitter") position by building up our farm resources. Farms lacking resources have higher odds in finishing the event.

1. earn coins
2. stock up gems by sending trains or buy while on offer
3. stock up mining tools
4. stock up difficult to find craft items
5. stock up bronze cowbells

Time is also a resource - members who don't have much play time can make up for it using coins and gems.

1. Coins
Coins give you the luxury to purchase crafts for deliveries instead of having to craft. The more deliveries you sent, the better your chances of getting drops. You can buy more coin event boosts to get more collection items to make up for the shortfall for your collection.

2. Gems
Gems give you the luxury to gem an upgrade part, through a goal or advance goal days etc. When the grand prize is pet, I think it's worth using some gems to get it than not at all. After all, a gem pet in the Market or tree house easily costs minimum of 180 gems, what more is a limited edition event pet? Ok, some members may not be able to afford to buy gems, send your trains instead to earn gems.

3. Mining Tools
You can stock up mining tools by doing deliveries, buy from newspapers/neighbours or collect from your pets.

4. Difficult to find craft items
Stock up on these items since most events require you to do deliveries. Having a good stock in your barn enables you to send more deliveries and saves you time for seaching for these items. See next post for a suggested list of difficult to find craft items.

5. Stock up Bronze Cowbells
Stock up your bronze cowbells so you can buy Crops & Crafts Boosts during the event to shorten your crafting times. They are especially useful during a Goal Event or Luck Event when crafts from these machines are needed for goals or collection items.

From my past experiences, having these resources does put my farm in a better and fitter position to compete in an event. If you don't, you will need to put in more effort or be realistic of your odds. I hope sharing this will help those struggling farmers to be better prepared for future events.

Good Advise from Members

There had been good advise from members posted in various event threads. I thought I would start compiling a list here for easy reference, so we could learn from each other. :)

If you spot any good advise or tips that you think is useful for events, please let me know so I can add it here.

Juggling space and storage needs is a big part of it, but I think barn expansions should be a major priority in your game play. Just realize that it will always be a problem, since as your farm gets more complex, there are more things to store, like animal feed, expansion parts, sugar, flour, etc.

Plane deliveries are crucial in this game, especially in this kind of event. My advice is to go through the plane deliveries and discard any that you can not fill. Fill any you can, and then wait for them to reload, rather than trying to craft or buy the missing items.

When you find yourself saying "It's not fair!" Remember this is a FREE GAME. Of course they want you to buy gems! That is how they pay people to build and maintain these things! Of course the goals and events are challenging! That is the POINT. That is what makes it a GAME and not just a kindergarten block puzzle. Take a deep breath, and decide if you want to continue. I find this particular game to be the most engaging, and it can actually be quite generous with the free gems, from pets and the butterfly/otter/mole opportunities, compared to other games.

Final advice: READ THE EVENT THREADS, before you post. There is great advice being given here all the time. This one didn't get Rynetory's event advice spiel, but you can read that on the last event's first page. It is really good advice about how to be ready to play this type of event.

Good luck, everyone! Have fun!

I mine some before the event so it takes off the stress of not finding what I need in the mine.

I would suggest that you sit out an event or two to stock up your barn, coins, etc. Once your barn is well stocked, then join the event when you are ready or up to it. It is stressful and frustrating to do an event with limited resources especially when time is the essence. You can also read this thread (Is your farm ready for an event?) and see if it helps you. Post your difficulties there so fellow members can also give you advise for future events.

Events are optional. If you enjoy this game for the game itself, play on and do the events only when you feel up to it. Hope this helps. All the best. :)

Dont forget your neighbours - they are your best assets. :) Not every farm lack the same event upgrade part. It's important that you have one or a few good neighbours who will help you. Work out a buddy system with a good neighbour who can trade stuffs with you during events or day to day farm activities like sending your trains. If you need more help, use the buy/sell thread and the community will help you out too.

I know events can be challenging but with help from good neighbours, they are more doable and more fun. Keep sending your trains whenever you can; those gems sure come in handy during events. So if you havent a buddy system today, be sure to keep an eye. :)

General guidelines for Leaderboard events

Introduction
Leaderboard events let you compete with your friends and other community farmers in a fun and friendly way! During a limited-time leaderboard event, you'll compete for incredible prizes by completing tasks that earn leaderboard points.
Don't worry about going against players with a higher level than you! The game pairs you with players around your level, so no need to be intimidated! Having smaller groups of players around the same level means more winners and prizes!

How to play
1. Check what you need to do to earn Leaderboard points (see section "How to earn Leaderboard points")
2. Earn Leaderboard points by playing
3. Collect your Milestone prizes as you progress
4. Aim to stay at 1st to 12th position at the end of the event to win the Rank Prizes. Only the top 2 winners will win the the Grand Prize pet.

How to earn Leaderboard points
How you earn points can change from event to event. One event might have you collect from your animals to earn points, while another might have you making crafts in certain buildings. Click on Leaderboard icon on the right of your screen and click on [Info] tab to check each event's info to learn how to earn points!

Likewise for the 2 points/hr for animals. Cows and chickens get 1 point for their short harvesting time. The longer the animal takes to harvest, the more points you get from it.

Cow - 0.5 point
Chicken - 1 point
Donkey - 3 points
Pig - 6 points
Beehive - 6 points
Sheep - 12 points
Alpaca - 18 points
Goat - 20 points

Craft items in the Windmill - 1+ points
6 flour (10 mins) = 1 point
3 white sugar (20 mins) = 1 point
2 powdered sugar (30 mins) = 1 point
1 corn starch (1 hr 30 mins) = 1 point
2 corn starch (1 hr 30 mins) = 3 points

Event Boosts
Boosts multiply the number of points you earn for a limited time. Take advantage of Boosts to earn more points and climb the leaderboards! The final leaderboard rankings determine which players are the event winners and which exclusive prizes they've won!

Milestones
In addition to prizes awarded at the end of each event, you'll also reach milestones and win prizes before the event ends. For example, you might win a bundle of crafts after 100 points and a sweet decoration at 500 points. The final milestone prize might even be as exclusive as a brand-new pet! You must earn at least 10 points to win a prize, so start fast!

High Levels: Levels 51 and above
Mid Levels: Levels 33 to 50
Low Levels: Levels 15 to 32

Leaderboard spin
A wheel of prizes will frequently appear to help boost your rank! You could get bundles of leaderboard points, gems, coins, crafts, and much more! Play daily to spin the wheel and climb the leaderboards to the top!


Tips:
(1) Use your Leaderboard spin every 4hr.
(2) Use Crops & Crafts Boosts or buy the Event Boost to help with your progress.
(3) Depending on the points requirements of the event, the best time to use an event boost (x1.5 or x2) is when all your animals are ready for collection, your crafts are done crafting and delivery orders are ready to send at once.
(4) Have the maximum number of farm animals on your farm to be able to collect more points when you collect from them.

Note:
(1) You collect your Milestone prizes as you progress during the event when you have earned enough Leaderboard points. You will get the Rank Prizes at the completion of the event depending which rank you finished at.
(2) Points required for Milestone prizes vary by farm level.
(3) It's important to note the end date and time of the event and convert to your own time zone so you don't miss out. You can use this Time Zone Converter to figure out your local time. You can enter "San Francisco" for the S8 time zone (PST).
(4) Each LB group usually has 20 players. If you see new players in your group, they are the players logging in for the first time after the event has started. This way, players are playing against active players.

General guidelines for Monthly events

This is a monthly event. Day 1 starts when the event starts. Subsequent days start at game reset time, midnight California time. Fulfil the Daily Goals to complete the Main Goal to win the Grand Prize.

Main Goal (example)
Welcome Tucker The Seal!
Open 31 Winter Presents
REWARDS: 200 coins, 1 Tucker the Seal, 3 experience points

Daily Goals
Goal 1 of 2: Holiday Surprises
Visit 10 Farmers
REWARDS: 200 coins, 100 Present Axes, 3 experience points

Goal 2 of 2: Holiday Surprises
Send 20 Warehouse Deliveries
REWARDS: 200 coins, 1 Winter Present, 3 experience points

How to play?
1. For each game day, you get a new set of daily goals (e.g. Holiday Surprises goals - Part 1 and 2) and you need to complete them to earn 100 Present Axes and a Winter Present.

2. Open your Winter Presents to earn prizes. This step is optional. The Main Goal counts the number of Winter Presents you have regardless if you open them. But do make sure you redeem your prizes before the Monthly Event ends to avoid losing them.

3. Open 31 Winter Presents from daily goals, events or purchase from Market to complete the Main Goal (e.g. Welcome Tucker the Seal goal) to earn the Grand Prize.


How to open a Winter Present?
Place your Winter Present on your farm and click on it then click on the Present Axes at the bottom of your screen.

What happens if I missed a day or 2 of the Daily goals?
You can earn Winter Presents as rewards from other events occurring during the month, besides the Daily Goals. So keep going with your daily goals and keep a lookout for more ways to earn winter presents.


Note:
(1) Present Axes are not found in barn or cellar because they take up space. You can see how many you have by clicking on the winter present and see the number of axes shown at the bottom of your screen.

(2) You get a new set of Daily goals at midnight PST.

(3) Daily goals expire at midnight PST. They don't carry over to the next day. It's important to note this and convert to your own time zone so you don't miss out. You can use this Time Zone Converter to figure out your local time. You can enter "San Francisco" for the Storm8 time zone (PST).

(4) Make sure you redeem your prizes before the Monthly Event ends to avoid losing them.


Tips:
(1) Prepare your warehouse orders before the next game day starts. Align them and discard those which you can't complete so that all orders are ready to go when you get your new daily goals.

During 14 day goals, usually a midpoint Side Goal is released on the Sunday following the event's release at 2:30 pm ET. These side goals will appear in your goals section and normally consist of 6 tasks that require you to make and give regular items. Finishing all 6 tasks will give you a prize such as an exclusive new decoration, a previously released limited time decoration, and/or items to help around the farm.

Tips:
(1) Have all your machines ready when the event starts in case you have to make a special event item.

(2) Use your Crops & Crafts Boosts to speed up your crafting times if the goal requires you to make crafts from these machines. Cowbell boosts will help you speed up the time it takes to make regular items.

(3) Even though you cannot make items in advance, you can look at the event thread to see future tasks. To prepare for these tasks, you can start collecting the ingredients for the items that the goal wants you to make. For example, if step 2 requires you to make Maple Sugar and you are still on goal one, you can prepare for the next task by collecting Maple Leaves and Sugar Cane while finishing step 1.

Note:
(1) Your "Make" Register counts when you craft items. For most of these goals, the game requires you to make the item and then give it by clicking the "Give" button. See Frequently asked questions in Goal Guide.

(2) Make sure to pay attention to the timer on the side goal. Usually the midpoint side goals end a few days sooner than the main goal.

You can check the Goal event section to read more about Goal events.

Carla's Collection Event Sets

Here is a list of sets that Carla's collection event uses for the items. This should help you to prepare for the next item to be unlocked. Items unlock at 5:30 PM each day. Please note that these are speculative based on previous events and may change in the future.

You can use this to prepare for the next day by upgrading these machines and making sure that they are empty so you can craft the shortest crafts once the new item is unlocked.

What should I do between events?

When the previous event ends, you can start preparing for the next event by doing the following. Usually, the new event will begin at 2:30 PM PT./5:30 PM ET. the day after the previous event has ended.

1. Make space in your barn and/or silo. Make sure you have plenty of space to avoid missing out event drops. You may not be able to get them when your barn or silo is full.
2. Align your deliveries before event starts. Discard those deliveries which you can't fulfil. Be ready to send off all deliveries if event requires when it starts.
3. Have all your buildings working non stop but ensure they are done working when the event starts in case you have to make a special event item.
4. Have all animals (i.e. cows, chickens, pigs, sheep) ready to collect at event time. Likewise for all fruit trees.
5. Stock up some mining tools if you can. Feed your pets for tools. Hopefully we won't need to mine but stock some just in case.
6. Stock up your difficult to find crafts for deliveries since most events require you to do deliveries.
7. Stock up your Bronze Cowbells. Crops & Crafts Boosts are especially useful during a Goal Event or Luck Event when crafts from these machines are needed for goals or collection items.
8. Sell your previous event items to make room for the next event in the Side shop. Previous event items are no longer needed after the event is over. Pro Tip: Make sure to sell your previous event items at max price. Previous event items are not visible to the regular player, so they can only be purchased by bots which means that selling them at at a lower rate will not make them sell faster.
