May Flowers Event - April 29, 2016 (IOS and Android)

[judyandthecat]

Minimum level is 23 for participation. The flower shop will stay after the event.

You can sell off your garden kits now.

Thanks for all the feedback regarding the selling of the crafts in the Side Shop! We've unlocked them so you should be able to purchase them now.

Announcement - Please take note!

Update from the team: These are some known issues for the May Flowers Event. Hope this helps if any players encounter these issues.

• Prisoner Chicken and Candy Corn Sheep will not show Flower Feed as feed option. If it happens to a player, they'll need to switch to another skin to fix the issue.
• Flower shop has a shortened build time for the event. It will be longer once the event is over. Price for the building will stay the same.
• Flower Plot on android does not show up once placed. (It'll look like a black hole) Once the player force closes and launches the game again, the image will show up correctly.

Updates

1. You can get flowers to grow after the event is over. The flower plots are permanent and you will be able to grow the flowers there.

2. There will be brand new crafts in the Flower Shop after the event. The flowers will stay the same.

Update

For those who didnt purchase any gilded flower pots before completing Goal 8, you would be able to purchase only 2 more after which. Therefore if you want to have 2 more, purchase them before you complete Goal 8.

Terrarium craft time is now 5 hours.

12 gardening shovels
3 watering cans

MAKE the Kits BEFORE you make the terrariums
To make 5 Master Gardening Kits you will need:
75 Gardening Gloves
60 Gardening Shovels
15 Watering Cans

Attention players here is my advice for step nine---due to it taking 5 hours to make one terrarium and you need fifteen of them.
I strongly advise YOU make the five master garden kits first and give them. They only take one hour each to make so do them first.

Then make your terrariums because each one takes 5 hours and if you have 27 gems you will be able to skip the give 15 terrariums step! In case you run out of time.

The amount of gems needed to skip will decrease as you give terrariums!

We are able to help each other in the buy/sell thread with flowers, Wildflowers, garden moss, plant feed and rocks And now we can buy and sell all of the event items crafted in the floral shop.

All items crafted in the floral shop can now be bought and sold

Been doing some thinking ...

Recipe one terrarium --- 5 hours

Thank you Storm 8 for lowering the time to five hours!!!

30 blue orchids
9 wild flowers (9 flower feed for animals)
2 garden moss
2 garden stones

Ok everyone will have at least six coin flower pots plus two free gold rim ones from goal eight.
It might not be as bad as it sounds.
Every animal fed a bag of wild flower seed gives you ONE Wildflower.
You can grow blue orchids nonstop now and they take 1 hour and 30 minutes.
So even if you are working and don't want to get up in the night you should be able to do 4 collections easily in a day.
That will yield you 64 flowers from eight pots.
32 will be replanted leaving you with 32 blue orchids.
You need 30 for one terrarium.
9 Wildflowers ... 9 bags of feed takes nine hours but if you use two of your feed mills you could cut that time in half.
If not put the feed on to make before you go to bed. Give it to cows they produce quick.
2 garden moss....make dough ball hooks and or buy from newspaper I see a lot in the paper.
The mine has been pretty good you will likely get two stones in three tries.

Ok now plan this around working and sleeping....try to put the terrarium on to make say nine at night then it will be ready the next day at five in afternoon when a lot of people arrive home.

Come home make one master garden kit if you have not already made all five...then put the next days terrarium in the floral shop to make again around nine pm

The reason I am recommending do all the master garden kits first because that step does not have a skip gem amount it is give period.

After getting this goal, if you buy any of these items from the marketplace/newspapers/side stores, they count as if you received them from deliveries. Same goes for finding moss from fish pond or stones from mine.

Does this mean all the moss and stones received before step four, if any, are worthless?

Not worthless just doesn't count to goal.

I need gold for train deliveries, but keep getting moss instead of gold, i think i better stop mining .. thanks

I disagree with crafting master garden kits first. Today I have done 3 terrariums & finally got my 3rd master kit started. I started planting orchids in the previous level when there were extra plots & you just keep planting! DO NOT bother buying completed terrariums as they do not count towards terrariums crafted. I do not have a hummingbird & have sent out numerous deliveries to finally get enough 'gloves'. I do try & buy these.

I think, as far as the order goes, crafting the master garden kits first is simply a matter of saving time and getting one part of the goal out of the way immediately. If one has the parts, you can craft all 5 garden kits in the time it takes to craft 1 terrarium. At least with the kits out of the way, it will be easy to just sell off extra parts without needing to keep track of how many more parts you need to hold onto.

I actually think buying a couple of terrariums will help save a little time later. If you think you might be cutting it close to the end of the event and running out of time, you can save yourself at least 10 hours when you start the crafting of your last couple terrariums. If you GIVE a couple of terrariums that you have bought, then you do not have to wait until your final two finish crafting to give them. Thus saving 10 hours. You may save more time if you upgrade to even more crafting slots then just the two.
