Yup; I should be there by lunchtime tomorrow. And then the hard part will be leaving the farm the heck alone while it upgrades, instead of using up all 40 of my chicken feed when I can't make any more... At least this time around I know about the max amount button; I never noticed it on my first farm until my mill hit level 3! ;D

Happy dayz !
I remember the mill being really frustrating - it seemed to take a lifetime to get to L17. I have fond memories of the early stages of the game tho. I don't know if at my advanced level the game's lost something, or if it's just different. I recently started a www farm so that when I finally get around to doing a co-op properly I'm not just restricted to en1 players - I haven't done anything with it yet tho.

Hi Sharlat,
nope, that hasn't been completely regulary yet. The first time they appeared with a week in between. Then we had Tessa and Fairytale back to back, with only 6-ish hours in between and had to wait a few weeks for the Asian.
Lately it seems they do a big event one week and a small one the next week. Big events being Tessa, Fairytale and Asian, small ones being charity drive, Eva's bees and Vicky the vet needs a drivers license.
We've had the charity drive this week and the fairytale last week, so I thiiink somewhere sundayevening or monday the Asian event will start.
But I kinda feel like forecasting the weather at the moment with that assumption: you can never be sure

Yes, like Gwnedolen says there hasn't been no definitive constant pattern to the events. Most of them are still fairly new and staff have said there is no intention of announcing them ahead of time

You are NOT dumb:)
Tracks come from your crops when you harvest them. Go back to the first post on page 1 and there is a REALLY nice chart to help you out.

We've all done that. And, in fact, my orchard wasn't finished upgrading on my lowest-level farm when the event started today. At least it's only 3-hour apples, not 12-hour cherries as I once did on the Asian event!

Good morning everybody and good luck with the event!!!
And a question, why aren't thickets or any other event decor available for the gourmet and flower farm ?
I was planning to build some of them....

Pretty sure it's a bug; there's a thread over in Technical problems & bugs.

It's OK, the task is to collect firewood so the firewood appears when you harvest and is counted then.
It's a nice feature which many of us use and allows you to have produce, and, hopefully collectibles, ready and waiting to harvest for future tasks before you've completed the current task eg task 2 collect apples - any orchards not required once you've found all the firewood for task 1 can be harvested immediately you start task 2.

Thanks for your help. I had to collect 8 firewood and now I'm on my 2nd task of donating 1500 apples. Whew, that may take awhile. I can never seem to get enough fertilizer. I just built my cherry orchard and I can only make enough fertilizer for 1 of them so the cherries will have to wait until the challenge is over. Good luck, everyone.

I got my tracks in the same amount of time as last time. Planted wheat before work and when I got home I planted corn and wildflowers. When the drop rates go down try to clear caches. That seemed to help last night.

How do you collect firewood for step 1, I keep harvesting apples, and nothing happens...

You don't get firewood every time you harvest your orchards, the drops are kind of random, so just keep at it and it'll appear eventually. Are you sure you're not getting any at all? Sometimes I miss the firewood icon when I click to collect the apples, because it pops up together with other stuff. If you check your progress you can see how much firewood you've already got (if any). Good luck!

I find the first task, collecting firewood, very frustrating. I am at level 40, I have two apple orchards level 3 and two and one cherry orchard and I think is kind of ridiculous that I've been harvesting non stop since this event started and I have collected only 15 firewood. This is not the first time I play this event and I know the drops are random but there is a point where is not fun anymore. Having my silo downgraded was already a bit hard to swallow but the promising idea that they fixed the rate of dropping gave me hope for a game that doesn't require me playing non stop all day for days which by the way I won't because fortunately I have a life this doesn't mean I don't wont to work hard for getting my prize, maybe I've run out of luck, maybe I've run out of patience but if it takes 3 days for the first task then is not worth playing this event and the final prize is not so rewarding at all.
