    Hmmm, gold i think......
    Yah, probably ...
  • Int 1 in South Africa not working in the middle of a HWE???

    I am tired of GGS....just say if you don't want South Africans playing your game....we are NOT all crooks. There are actually some honest people living here. Not like Zuma the fool supposed to be running but RUINING the country....

    Started when GGS started denying me buying Gold via SMS. They just stopped?

    GGS support 35 days later...and still not sorted???

    I can actually eat a rattlesnake now. What is wrong? Why must I fight to give GGS money????
  • Please start with the end with the rattle on it if you must eat a rattler... ;)


    Have you tried buying with a gift card for the time-being? I doubt they have a problem with your country. GGS generally loves anyone with cash in hand but it does seem that support is swamped.

    I was really hoping this thread was going to have some tips about how to be successful in the HWE.  I have tried planting only one of each field crop on a soiled field so the harvest is as small as possible allowing me to virtually skip the field crops, but then the problem is in the second cycle  my milk and eggs are not ready when my field crops have been run through.  And Apples, pshhhh!  75,000 apples needed to get from 9 to 10 pps? Thats just nuts.  I don;t think I have ever exceeded 13 pps in this event and have never come close to winning all the rewards. Well, not since its inception years ago when it was fairly easy to get them all.  Now that it is part of the farmers challenge I want to try to do as well as possible but I feel like I am missing something. I realize you can skip for gold but you don't earn any points doing that.  Whats the secret?

     They changed the rewards a long time ago making almost impossible for the average farmer to be able to get most of the rewards. Since then the event is not worth most folks efforts.
     There is no real secret. Take advantage of the appearance boosters, use seaweed items, & use gold. Be sure to have the next item ready before taking any item to 10. The sooner you can get an item to 10, the better. Leaving more time to get more items to 10. Keep track of which items you can run at 10 plus with some reasonable time til the next item.
     Not all options are do able for most players that do not have a pretty well set of developed farms to work with and the time to put in to the event.

    To really be competitive you have to be online when the event starts, earn 20 or more bonus points (using special seeds, seaweed products and gold) and skipping any item that you can't get to 10 (using gold).  Most players don't feel the rewards are worth using all your resources.

    You can "skip" alfalfa by planting 1 field with regular seed - it gives you less than 2 minutes on the silo, but doesn't cost you anything.

    Sorry wish I could help, I never get anywhere close.
    If you get to level 10 they steal your time, and at level 9 you can't do it.
     
  • I've noticed that once you get above 5 pps your time available starts jumping backwards as you move up.  Many times I would have been better off to NOT harvest in order to get that extra pps because the amount of time I lose negates the higher pps.  For example, I might have had 1:30:00 remaining time at 6 pps, but after harvesting more apples, I moved up to 7 pps, but my remaining time was reduced to 58:00.  This has only happened on the main farm HWEs.  The HWEs where you catch fish just keeps going up and up and up, so it's pretty easy to max out at 11.  The only problem there is that you either have to stop catching fish until your MASSIVE amount of time runs out, or you have to spend gold to go to the next item to catch.


    Yeah, GGS is all about the money grab.

    I could win it once in awhile back in the day, but they have reballanced it into a time waster. The number crunchers say we have to run it at 14pps the entire time to win it.
