How does this event work?
To get the first individual prize, you need to collect 50 teacups.
When you reach 50, the next individual prize opens up for you and will show you how many teacups you will need for the next individual prize.
Once you reach 500 tea cups, you are eligible for any and all of the prizes that are earned by the community (shown on the second row).
The total number of teacups is updated on the counter as soon as they drop, not when they are collected.
Be mindful that upgrading resets the timer back to 2 hours.

Speculative math:
What is the most likely energy need for the base resources (new only)

Item	Av. Energy	Av. Drop	Total Energy
Tea Party Invite:	8	3	275
Spring Petals:	10	1	1000
Porcelain Clay:	2	1	3050
Tea Leaves:	3	1	1890
Total			6215

If you invest 400 energy a day you should be able to finish the tea party & the event! This assumes some decent drop rate (see above) and some frequent game play (every 2 hours at least, >8 times a day):

Level	Day
#1:	0

#3:	2
#4:	3
#5:	4
#6:	5
#7:	7
#8:	10
#9:	14
#10:	19

"Day" means the elapsed days since the start of the event. So you MUST be at level 7 by day 7. As of today (April 17th), if you are not at level 5 and have made good progress toward level 6, you have little chance to make it without some boosts.

Assumptions:
+ You spend 400 energy a day on this event: 4x2 Wizard School, 1 Ali (1 week ali, or 7 daily ali), 14 hours worth of recharge
+ >8 time a day to gather & start production
+ You were fully stocked (>99) on sugar, sugar cane, wheat, flour, red petals, red dyes, etc before the event
+ You grow sugar cane & wheat on the go if needed
+ You produce sugar & flour in parallel
+ Upgrade the tea party only after your harvest
+ Diligently harvest every two hours your tea party
+ Only focus on elements strictly related to the event. Forget the rest of your economy!

Speculative math:
What is the most likely energy need for the base resources (new only)

Item	Av. Energy	Av. Drop	Total Energy
Tea Party Invite:	8	3	275
Spring Petals:	10	1	900
Porcelain Clay:	2	1	3050
Tea Leaves:	2	1	1260
Total			5485

Just to gather that, you need spend 14 hours a days worth of energy for 20 days in a row! Plus, all the other activities to produce upgrade materials . In short, you need to ONLY use energy for this event and for nothing else. If you have other energy sources, you might do a few other things.

---

...If I'm correct with my math - one won't be able to upgrade table to level 10 without paying, unless one:
* is ready to play regularly all the day next 18 days and to do only event activities,
* have a source of 100 and more additional energy per day: alis and wizard schools,
* have at least 3 red trilliums to get 690 petals for levels 7-10, or have a full stock of red dyes,
* have a full stock of flour and sugar, or energy saving sources of them...

...then .. I calculated the time for red leaves because I only have one red trillium (and are at level 4 at the moment)
I could collect 3 petals per hour .. total of 70 per day with constant collecting every 20 minutes without sleep
level 9 - 150
level 8 - 150
level 7 - 120
level 6 - 90
level 5 - 60
total 570 ... or 8 and a half day of constant collecting (I'm hoping of some red petals from the grass patches)

So, the energy requirements didn't throw me off necessarily. I think I'm a pretty average level 50: I have Wizard Schools, daily Ali's/Alicolts, and go on Adventures for the extra energy and Gems.

The petal requirement however is the game changer for me.
(I started out with 99 petals and maybe 20ish Red Inks in my inventory)

I adjusted the table (ty btw Shib and others who contributed to it) since I'm halfway to level 7 but going forward:
L8 -> 25 Dye -> 150 Red Petals
L9 -> 30 Dye -> 180 Red Petals
L10 - > 40 Dye -> 240 Red Petals
That's 570 Petals divided by my 17 days left of the event = 33 Red Petals needed (to collect) per day.

I have One Trillium, 2 Multi-colour Hedges, Flower Power Ali's, Autumn Carriage, Romantic Larkspur, Faerie Flowerbed, Witch Alicolt (and also collect from Ivy's Hut and chop tall grass) and there is no way i'll be able to gather 30+ petals per day - everyday - until the event ends (not with my job anyways).

If it were any other type of Ink I could see it being doable for me and I would just have to eat the Energy requirements, but being the rarer Red Petals...

I probably don't have to mention Spring Petals either since I currently only have a handful after dutiful Grass chopping :P

What helped me collect red.petals faster is I collected from my red trillium shrub made in the arboretum. It drops 3-6 red petals every 20 min. This saves energy and time as well as cutting frustration in half for this event! Granted it does take 22 hours to create the shrub but it's worth it for those who have 3 red trillium plants to their name. Good luck!

If you invest 400 energy a day you should be able to finish the tea party & the event! This assumes some decent drop rate (see above) and some frequent game play (every 2 hours at least, >8 times a day)

I agree that drop rate for clay is about 2 energy for 1 clay but tea leaves required much more for me, at least 5 collections.

[FrostedThings]

It's started! Baron's grandma is coming to town for a tea party.

We're supposed to defeat Spring Raccoons by chopping tall patches of grass. I've chopped over a dozen and all I've gotten is a Skunkupine. :-/

Baron tea party

Task one :
Place a tea party
Gather 50 wood ( counts what you have in inventory)
Build a tea party

[meme1098]

OMG! We're chopping rocks again!! SMH. Just unbelievable!

And I've chopped over 10 patches of tall grass w/o a single raccoon. You sure you've turned them on S8? No other monsters on my game board either.
