Over the next 10 days there will be 10 collectible items unlocked from doing activities on the farm. In the past this has been from the kitchen, bakery, chocolatier, chickens, sheep, pigs, mine, fishing pond etc.
We won't know what activity has the drop until it unlocks. It unlocks at the same time every day. In the UK that is at 10.30pm.
When all 10 items are unlocked you will be able to turn in collections, just like you do with butterflies and moles. Each complete collection will give you a random prize of decorations or a pet. In the past some people have been lucky and got pets easily and others have not been able to get them despite turning in many collections.
The amount of collections you can turn in is all dependent on the rarest item that you get dropping. In the past this has been from the mine, fishing pond, kitchen, chocolatier.
While the event is going on there will also be optional challenges to complete. These also offer prizes which you can see as the reward in the challenge box. To complete them you will have to give away some of your collected items. Be careful in doing this as you may give away something you need later and it will ruin your chances of completing collections. You may also give away items you need only to find that the prize you get rewarded is something you get many duplicate times when you complete your collections 10 days into the event when all the items are unlocked.
The best thing to do right now is just find out each day where the item is unlocked and try to collect it and make sure you are prepared if you need to mine or fish for items.
The event is designed so there is always a shortage of something which prevents you from completing the collections and you will see a few days before the end of the event that TL will be selling packs of the rare items for real money.
All you need to do now, 2 days into this, is collect from the dairy and the bakery to get roses and envelopes but don't give them away unless you are absolutely sure you are not going to need them. In just over 12 hours time the 3rd item will unlock and as soon as someone works out where it is dropping from they usually post on the forum and update the first page of this thread.
