I've written some guidance for how you can make gifting work in post 1....

I agree with the approach in the above post by Scratte717 - I've already started taking screen shots of those neighbours sending me requests.

Yep, agree that screenshots are our friend for this. Having the time stamp helps with understanding the times nbrs play , and so who is more likely to respond quickly if timing is important.

I sent request back. So far I have got only 11 responses back in 5 hours.

★ I have 1174 neighbors in my list, including Stormy. I know some are sleepers, some are actives, and I send all requests to all, too lazy to screen or to remove (: ★ For this quest, I received 20 requests in 5 hours (: ★

Right, I also normally send out to all and get responses quickly. Problem that this time it was recommended not to send more then 40, not to risk that some of them gets processed on Day 10.
Only 91 neighbors for me, but then I do a cleanup from time to time

I am now on chapter 6 trying to fight 20 bears.
But yesterday I was home and played all day long, I get only dire boars all day. I get only 5 bears. How it is possible ?

I will never be able to finish the quest.
If someone want to add me I respond quest quickly.

★ yes I do get neighbor responses many days after the quest was filled n completed, but wondered what purpose does it serve?

If it is intended by S8 to set a daily cap of 40 neighbor sendouts even when I have >40 neighbors, possible for S8 to code it such a way that it does not trouble our neighbors with outdated requests when we have completed the quest? ★

Many thanks to SpiritWind00 for all the updates, but milk? Really?! If only milk will be dropped by the bear, I am not wasting all my energy and time on it!!I am putting away most of my ponds and wells now, so disappointed......

[Backinthyme]

Thanks for your help. I read that the bears only drop milk so I going to put the ponds away and give up on this event.

Okay, this is going beyond ridiculous now. I've completed 6 Forest Adventures and not one wisp, light or dark. At this point I think I may have to burn the forest down to get ANYTHING out of it!

I'm right there with you, I'll bring torches.

Just keep in mind that making floral grow now costs you ten clicks (you have to get them when they're done) and collecting the elixir costs one, so you net +9 not +20. If it takes you more than 9 taps to get the red and purple petals and glimmerdust, it's a loss making the elixir. I also hate wasting material and made so many stone blocks and fancy blocks during the second to last task... but the perceived energy gain is tricky since it's basically energy neutral. I find it is worth doing when you've already stocked up on floral grow and vital extract during downtime. For the pond collections I try to do more water trades in Royal exchange, make lemonade for gem exchange, and make food with various fish.

I look at it as banking energy. Sometimes I have extra clicks, while other times I fall short. Essentially, this lets me store energy for a layer time when I need extra. I don't have any weekly alicorns, let,alone a herd of them, so wizard schools, energy crates, daily alicorns, the energy trade, and the elixir are my extra energy sources, and I try my best to use them wisely. :-)
