Just getting started & I was wondering the very same thing!
Has S8 forgotten what the 'Potion' shop is for? *shaking my head*
my screen doesn't show hoiw long of an event this is (1 week or 2). but i'm guessing 2 since their "offer" is good for 5 days
They did it so we can not speed things up. With all the things going to the workshop we will have to take our time or use our gems to speed things up.
Potions not made in the potion shop, plants not being grown in the greenhouse... has S8 forgotten the diversity of the game?
Chopping my Red Acer trees dropped seeds
Because no one at S8 actually plays the game....lol. I would hazard a guess none of these timed goals are achievable by most players below level 30 or maybe even up to 35 so there's really no reason why we can't use the aforementioned obvious crafting buildings.
Addition: out of 10 bushes I get 2 dormant seeds??!?! What the hay, S8!
Some info for the calculations.....I am getting a consistent drop rate of about 25% for seeds.....
