- Ensure the sheep are ready for collection at update time on Day 6 and that you have 12 feed ready for them. Collect every 6 hours, where you can, for the rest of the event.
- You need 8 orange trees.
- Ensure the orange trees are ready for collection at update time on Day 7. This is very important ! You only get to collect every 16 hours and drops are very random.
- Get rid of everything you can in your barn to make enough space.
- Keep what you can of wool, iron ore and oranges.
- Bait usually needs wool and iron to craft plus it is likely you will need more wool to hand in for the goal.
- Ensure all 8 plane deliveries are ready to go for Day 8. Keep discarding orders until you have ones you have stock for or are very easy to buy for. Only make as many plane deliveries as you need to get enough drops for your collections/goals. You don't need excess.
- You can craft bait on Day 9 but it usually needs iron ore. If you mine for ore then you have a better chance of getting iron than on Day 10 when the mine will start dropping collectibles but you will be using up tools you need for Day 10 to get the mining collectibles. The best strategy for dealing with these events is to ensure that you always have plenty of iron in your barn plus lots of mining tools.
- If you are unable to collect any of the Day 9 and Day 10 collectibles, perhaps the best strategy for getting the pet prize will be to use gems to complete the final goal. But don't do this until we know what the final goal is. It is usually better to use gems this way rather than spend gems completing collections. Sometimes there is a cheaper and more expensive way to do it - check on the forum first before you spend. When you complete collections you only get a random chance at a good prize and very often people are unlucky and spend lots of gems and get nothing but decor they don't want.
Bear in mind this is all based on previous events and S8 may change things for this event. We have yet to find out. Good luck.

Stock up mining tools in the mean time guys. Go mining for iron before the bait comes out nearer to day 9. Once the bait comes out, it'll be harder to get iron, imo.
